Since the beginning of the World Health Organization, many of its staff members, regional offices, member states, and directors-general have grappled with the question of what a 'spiritual dimension' of health looks like, and how it might enrich the health policies advocated by their organisations. Contrary to the wide-spread perception that 'spirituality' is primarily related to palliative care and has emerged relatively recently within the organisation, this study shows that its history is considerably longer and more complex, and has been closely connected to the WHO's ethical aspirations, its quest for more holistic and equitable healthcare, and its struggle with the colonial legacy of i...
This publication is one of three manuals developed by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, together with the Islamic Education, Science and Culture Organization and the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences. Originally published in Arabic, the manuals were regarded as an important addition to the limited range of education materials available for promoting adolescent health and development within the sociocultural values prevailing in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region. They are addressed to priority target groups: parents, teachers, health workers, media, adolescent girls and boys, as well as being considered as invaluable tools for advocacy with the political and religious leaders in Member States.

One of the first thing that comes to your mind after hearing the term “corrosion” is corrosion of a metal. Corrosion is a basically harmful phenomenon, but it can be useful in some cases. For instance, environment’s pollution with corrosion products and damage to the performance of a system are among its harmful effects, whereas electric energy generation in a battery and cathodic protection of many structures are among its advantages. However, these advantages are almost nothing as compared to the costs and effects imposed by its detrimental influences. The enormous costs of this phenomenon can be better understand through studying the published statistics on direct and indirect corrosion damages on economy of governments. The direct cost of corrosion is near 3 % of the gross domestic product (GDP) of USA. Considering this huge cost, it is necessary to develop and expand the corrosion science and its protection technologies.
Extrait de la couverture : "Reproductive health is a critical issue for most developing countries, particularly those facing high rates of population growth. This paper constitutes the first comprehensive overview of the reproductive health issues of the Middle East and North Africa. It presents the complexity of the subject and demonstrated that economic development alone does not necessarily lead to improvements in reproductive health. This review will be an essential tool for those who are to design, implement, and monitor programs for improving reproductive health in the region. It is also intended to help stimulate discussion among various stakeholder in the context of economic and social development efforts to achieve well-being for future generations."
