Human population planning

**Human population planning** means managing the growth rate of a human population. This used to be called population control.  In the past  it was mostly about increasing populations. From the 1950s to the 1980s, concerns about overpopulation and its effects on poverty, the environment and political stability led to efforts to reduce population growth rates in many countries. More recently many countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, Russia, Iran, Italy, Spain, Finland, Hungary and Estonia have begun efforts to boost birth rates once again.

Population planning can involve measures that improve people's lives by giving them greater control of their reproduction.  In some place, like the Chinese government's "one-child policy and two-child policy", there have been punishments for families which had more children.

## Types

There are three types of population planning policies:

1. Increasing or decreasing the overall population growth rate.
1. Increasing or decreasing the relative population growth of a subgroup of people, such as those of high or low intelligence or those with special abilities or disabilities. Policies that aim to boost relative growth rates are known as positive eugenics; those that aim to reduce relative growth rates are known as negative eugenics.
1. Attempts to ensure that all population groups of a certain type (e.g. all social classes within a society) have the same average rate of population growth.

## Effects

Since 1980 many countries have tried  family-friendly policies to increase the birth rate. They have spent more on child benefits, subsidise<nowiki/>d childcare, increased parental leave and tried other family-friendly policies.  Birth rates in most countries have continued to fall.

Birth rate

**Birth rate** is the total number of live human births per 1,000 people for a given period divided by the length of the period in years. The number of live births is normally taken from a registration system for births. The number of people comes from a census. There may also be some estimates. The birth rate (with the mortality and migration rates) is used to calculate population growth. The estimated average population may be taken as the mid-year population.

When the crude death rate is subtracted from the crude birth rate, the result is the rate of population change (excluding migration).

The total crude birth rate (CBR) includes all births.  There is also a set of age-specific rates.  This is the number of births per 1,000 women, in each age group.

The first known use of the term "birth rate" in English was in 1856.

|Years|CBR|Years|CBR|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|1950–1955|36.9|2000–2005|21.0|
|1955–1960|35.4|2005–2010|20.3|
|1960–1965|35.2|2010–2015|19.5|
|1965–1970|34.0|2015–2020|18.5|
|1970–1975|31.4|2020–2025|17.5|
|1975–1980|28.5|2025–2030|16.6|
|1980–1985|27.7|2030–2035|16.0|
|1985–1990|27.4|2035–2040|15.5|
|1990–1995|24.2|2040–2045|15.0|
|1995–2000|22.2|2045–2050|14.6|

The average global birth rate was 18.1 births per 1,000 total population in 2021. The death rate was 7.7 per 1,000. The rate of population change was thus 1.6%.  In 2012, the average global birth rate was 19.611 according to the World Bank and 19.15 births per 1,000 total population according to the CIA. It was 20.09 per 1,000 total population in 2007.

Brth rates declined from 1.85 to 1.53 per woman between 1980 and 2019 in the world’s most developed countries.

The 2021 average of 18.1 births per 1,000 total population is about 4.3 births per second or about 259 births per minute for the world.
General topology

**General topology** is a branch of topology. It uses set theory to model topological porblems. It is also known as **point set topology**

The fundamental concepts in point-set topology are _continuity_, _compactness_, and _connectedness_:

- Continuous functions, intuitively, take nearby points to nearby points.
- Compact sets are those that can be covered by finitely many sets of arbitrarily small size.
- Connected sets are sets that cannot be divided into two pieces that are far apart.

The terms 'nearby', 'arbitrarily small', and 'far apart' can all be made precise by using the concept of open sets. If we change the definition of 'open set', we change what continuous functions, compact sets, and connected sets are. Each choice of definition for 'open set' is called a _topology_. A set with a topology is called a _topological space_.

_Metric spaces_ are an important class of topological spaces where a real, non-negative distance, also called a _metric_, can be defined on pairs of points in the set. Having a metric simplifies many proofs, and many of the most common topological spaces are metric spaces.

Other braches of topology (that are unrelated) are algebraic topology, and geometric topology.

National Congress Party (Sudan)

The **National Congress Party** is a major political party in Sudan. Until the 2019 Sudanese coup d'état it was the governing party in Sudan. The party wants to further Islam in society. It also wants It is also in favor of Pan-Arabism. The party was founded in 1986. It also takes part in national and regional conflicts, such as the war with South Sudan, the various conflicts in Eastern Sudan, and the Darfur conflict. It often was part of human rights abuses in the respective regions.

After a military coup in 1969, Sudanese President Gaafar Nimeiry abolished all other political parties, effectively dissolving the Islamic parties. Following political transition in 1985, Turabi reorganised the former party into the National Islamic Front (NIF), which pushed for an Islamist constitution. The NIF ultimately backed another military coup bringing to power Omar al-Bashir, who publicly endorsed the NIF’s Islamist agenda. The party structure was composed at the national level of the General Conference, the Shura Council and the Leadership Council, and the Executive Office.

The NCP was established in 1998 by key political figures in the National Islamic Front (NIF) as well as other politicians. The rule of the NCP was the longest in independent contemporary Sudanese history. It grew out of the Islamist student activism of the Muslim Brotherhood, passing through the same revolutionary salafi jihadism. The party followed the ideologies of Islamism, Pan-Arabism, and Arab nationalism.

The NCP was banned by the Sovereignty Council of Sudan in the aftermath of the military takeover on 29 November 2019. All party properties were confiscated and all party members were barred from participating in elections or holding office for ten years.
National Democratic Alliance (Sudan)

The **National Democratic Alliance** (**NDA**; ) is a group of Sudanese political parties that was formed in 1989 to oppose the regime of Omar Hassan al-Bashir after he seized power in a military coup on June 6, 1989.  The NDA signed a deal with the Sudanese government on June 18, 2005, following a peace agreement to end the Second Sudanese Civil War on January 9, 2005.  Some issues have yet to be resolved by opposing factions, including the conflict and humanitarian issues in the war-torn region of Darfur. After further violent clashes in the east, a separate peace deal was signed with the Beja Congress in October 2006.

Kurixalus yangi

**Yang's frill-limbed tree frog** (_Kurixalus yangi_) is a frog.  It lives in India, Myanmar, and China's Yunnan Province. People have seen it between 354 and 1478 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 31.6–34.7 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is brown in color. There is yellow and green color on the sides of the body. There are spots on the upper belly. This frog has vomerine teeth in its jaw. The iris of the eye is gold in color.

This frog lives in evergreen forests. The female frog lays eggs on leaves over water. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water.

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place. However, human beings cut down the forests where it lives to build farms.

The scientists named this frog for Professor Datong Yang of the Chinese Academy of Science.

Health in Italy

Italy is known for its generally very good health system.  Life expectancy is 80 for males and 85 for females. It is 5th in the world for life expectancy.  Iinfant mortality is low.  Italy has a  lower rate of adult obesity (below 10%) than most Western countries. This is  one of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The number of smokers was 22% in 2012, down from 24.4% in 2000 but a bit above the OECD average. Smoking in public places including bars, restaurants, night clubs and offices is only allowed in specially ventilated rooms since 2005.

As with any developed country, Italy has enough water. The levels of nutrition and sanitation are high. Medical care is free under a universal healthcare system. The principle is that healthcare is a human right and should be accessible to everyone regardless of their ability to pay.

Only 379,000 babies were born in Italy in 2023.  The  average number of children per woman fell to 1.2.  There were more than 4.5 million people over the age of 80.

Healthcare in Italy

**Italy's healthcare system** is one of the best in the world. The Italian healthcare system employs a Beveridge model. The principle is that health care is a human right that should be provided to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. Life expectancy is the 4th highest among OECD countries (83.4 years in 2018) and the world's 8th highest according to the WHO (82.8 years in 2018). Healthcare spending accounted for 9.7% of GDP in 2020.

The Italian state has run a universal public healthcare system since 1978. The public part is the _Servizio Sanitario Nazionale_, which is organised under the Ministry of Health. It is run on a devolved regional basis because of the 2001 Italian constitutional referendum.

William Beveridge

**William Henry Beveridge, 1st Baron Beveridge**,  (5 March 1879 – 16 March 1963) was a British economist and Liberal politician.  He was a progressive and social reformer. He played a central role in designing the British welfare state. His 1942 report _Social Insurance and Allied Services_ (known as the Beveridge Report) was the basis for the welfare state put in place by the Labour government elected in 1945.

He built his career as an expert on unemployment insurance. He served on the Board of Trade as Director of the newly created labour exchanges. Later he was Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Food. He was Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science from 1919 until 1937, when he was elected Master of University College, Oxford.

Beveridge published widely on unemployment and social security.  He was elected in a 1944 by-election as a Liberal MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed. When he lost in the 1945 general election, he was elevated to the House of Lords. He was the leader of the Liberal peers.

Lithuanian National Revival

The Lithuanian National Revival, also known as the Lithuanian National Awakening or Lithuanian nationalism, was a significant period in the 19th century for Lithuania, a time when most of the area where Lithuanians lived was under the Russian Empire. This era saw Lithuanians beginning to strive for self-determination, leading to the formation of a modern Lithuanian nation and eventually to the re-establishment of an independent Lithuanian state. Key figures in this movement included Vincas Kudirka and Jonas Basanavičius, and it happened alongside similar national awakenings across 19th-century Europe.

Before this revival, there was an early 19th-century "Samogitian revival" influenced by Vilnius University students like Simonas Daukantas and Simonas Stanevičius. A later wave of Lithuanian national revival occurred in the late 20th century, known as the Singing Revolution.

During the 19th century, due to long-term Polish-Lithuanian unity and Russification policies by the Russian Empire, Lithuanian language and culture were in decline. The Lithuanian language, mostly spoken by rural populations, faced the threat of extinction, especially as the nobility became Polonized and the general use of Lithuanian was limited. However, various factors, including scholarly interest in the language, the end of serfdom, and an emerging sense of Lithuanian identity, contributed to its revival. The Catholic Church also played a role by easing barriers for commoners to join the priesthood, which helped promote the Lithuanian language.

The revival of national identity was challenged by the Lithuanian press ban following the 1863 uprising but began to take shape among educated Lithuanians, leading to the publication of Lithuanian newspapers and literature that romanticized the nation's past. Despite Russian opposition, the movement towards independence grew, culminating in the Great Seimas of Vilnius and a significant rise in literacy among Lithuanians.

The first comprehensive study of the Lithuanian National Revival was by Michał Pius Römer in 1908, highlighting the importance of this period in forming the Lithuanian nation and its path to independence.
