Already 79% of the deaths attributed to the noncommunicable diseases occur in developing countries. The rising trends are a consequence of the demographic and dietary transition, and the globalization of economic processes. Scientific evidence shows that unhealthy diet and physical inactivity as well as tobacco use, recently highlighted in the World Health Report 2002, are major global determinants of noncommunicable diseases. Examples from several countries show that changing these determinants is possible and can have a strong effect on the trends in noncommunicable diseases. Although national responses are crucially important, international work and global perspectives are badly needed. For this, WHO is, in response to the request from its Member States in the World Health Assembly 2002, preparing a global strategy on diet, physical activity and health. This work emphasizes integrated prevention by targeting the three main global risk factors: unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and tobacco use. In this process, WHO is looking at a number of issues related to globalization and global nutrition transition. This publication is a collection of papers written by experts in the fields of nutrition, epidemiology, economics, and marketing. We hope that this report will make a valuable contribution to the discussion on nutrition transition, globalization and noncommunicable diseases. The views expressed in these papers are those of the authors. We are grateful to the authors for their effort.

Early human populations were hunter-gatherers. Population growth was low and stable at the time of their existence. However, there was a dramatic shift to domestication of plants and animals for agricultural food production about 10,000 years ago and subsequent changes in disease profiles [1]. In the beginning of the agricultural period population size and density increased significantly. The reasons for the increase are complex. It was assumed that the abundance of food would have led to a better-nourished and healthier population with a reduced rate of mortality and a continuous and steady increase in population size. The empirical evidence suggested that this did not happen [1]. The shift from gathering and hunting to agriculture also produced an increase in infectious and nutritional disease rates. It is assumed that the more sedentary way of living related to agriculture increased parasitic diseases that were spread by contact with human waste and by a steady supply of disease vectors due to domesticated animals [1]. Also Cohen [2] came to the conclusion that farmers suffered more from infection and more from chronic malnutrition in comparison to their forebears living on wild resources and had reduced life expectancies. Diet tied to cultivation of only a few crops lacked diversity and therefore also lacked the full range of nutrients [3]. Although episodes of hunger were less frequent among farmers than among hunter-gatherers, they were more severe. Farmers, however, were exposed to fewer physical demands on the skeleton, in terms of peaks of mechanical stress, than hunters and gatherers. Infectious diseases have been the leading cause of death throughout most of human existence. During the last centuries and especially during the last decades, however, many demographic, social, economic, ecological and biologic changes led gradually to a decrease in occurrence of communicable diseases [4]. This development included the expansion of education, rising incomes, industrialization, urbanization, and improved medical and public health technology. Due to a varying pace in these processes, the health transition is not occurring uniformly in all countries [5]. An epidemiological transition model that was introduced 30 years ago is often applied to explain the differences in occurrence of diseases within and between countries. It proposes that disease patterns shift over time so that infectious and parasitic diseases are gradually, but not completely, displaced as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) become the leading causes of death [4]. A concept of dietary transition is used to describe the changes in production, processing, availability, and consumption of foods as well as changes in nutrient intake. A nutrition transition model is extended to consider also anthropometrical measures and physical activity [6,7]. The role of nutrition in epidemiological transition Concurrent with epidemiological, dietary and nutrition transitions, including change in physical activity pattern, a demographic shift occurs, yielding longer life expectancy and reduced fertility [8]. This change is associated with an increase in the proportion of deaths occurring in older people. However, the emergence of NCDs as important causes of morbidity and mortality is not only due to reductions in infectious disease mortality and population ageing; it is also due to real increases in the age-specific incidence and mortality of several noncommunicable conditions [9,10]. An etiological model for adult chronic diseases emphasizes the influence of adult risk factors e.g. unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity [11]. Studies have revealed that there is a consistent relationship between unhealthy diet and the emergence of a range of chronic non-infectious diseases – including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, various cancers, diabetes mellitus, dental caries, and various bone and joint diseases [12].

    Chapter 01 1. Introduction McDonald's is one of the best-known brands worldwide. This case study shows how McDonald's continually aims to build its brand by listening to its customers. It also identifies the various stages in the marketing process. Branding develops a personality for an organization, product or service. The brand image represents how consumers view the organization. Branding only works when an organization behaves and presents itself in a consistent way. Marketing communication methods, such as advertising and promotion, are used to create the colors, designs and images, which give the brand its recognizable face. At McDonald's this is represented by its familiar logo - the Golden Arches. Marketing involves identifying customer needs and requirements, and meeting these needs in a better way than competitors. In this way a company creates loyal customers. The starting point is to find out who potential customers are - not everyone will want what McDonald's has to offer. The people McDonald's identifies as likely customers are known as key audiences. McDonald’s has come up with advertising campaigns to help combat the dropping sales such as its New Taste Menu, and this was geared toward the healthier consumer. The message was that the company was tasty and nutritious, friendly folks and fun could be found at McDonald’s. 1.1 Problem Statement McDonald’s has been forced to contend with a number of potential obstacles to growth in recent years, most notably stark criticism and a less-than-favorable global economic climate that has seen consumers reduce their discretionary spending.

  • Moscow Takes Command: 1929–1937
    Section 3 Moscow takes command: 1929–1937 The documents in this section cover the period from February 1929 until early 1937, with most of them being concentrated in the earlier years of this period in line with the general distribution of documents in the CAAL. This period marks an important shift in the history of relations between the CPA and the Comintern for two main reasons. First, because the Comintern became a direct player in the leadership struggles within the Party in 1929 (the main catalyst for which, not surprisingly, was the CPA's long-troubled approach to the issue of the ALP). And second, because it sent an organizer to Australia to `Bolshevize' the Party in 1930±31. A new generation of leaders took over from the old, owing their positions to Moscow's patronage, and thusÐuntil the Party was declared an illegal organization in 1940Ðfully compliant with the policies and wishes of Moscow. The shift in relations just outlined was part of a broader pattern in the Comintern's dealings with its sections that began after the Sixth Congress in 1928. If the `Third Period' thesis was correct, and the world class struggle was about to intensify, and the Soviet Union to come under military attack (and, indeed, the thesis was partly correct, but partly self-fulfilling), then the Comintern needed sections that could reliably implement its policies. The Sixth Congress had been quite open about it: it now required from its national sections a `strict party discipline and prompt and precise execution of the decisions of the Communist International, of its agencies and of the leading Party committees' (Degras 1960, 466).

  • What Is to Be Done? Leninism, Anti-Leninist Marxism and the Question of Revolution Today
    Chapter 1 What is to be Done? Leninism, anti-Leninist Marxism and the Question of Revolution today Werner Bonefeld and Sergio Tischler I Of one thing we can be certain. The ideologies of the twentieth century will disappear completely. This has been a lousy century. It has been filled with dogmas, dogmas that one after another have cost us time, suffering, and much injustice (Garcia Marquez, 1990). Amid the resurgence of anti-capitalist movements across the globe, the centenary of Lenin’s What is to be Done? in 2002 has largely gone unnoticed. Leninism has fallen on hard times – and rightly so. It leaves a bitter taste of a revolution whose heroic struggle turned into a nightmare. The indifference to Leninism is understandable. What, however, is disturbing is the contemporary disinterest in the revolutionary project. What does anti-capitalism in its contemporary form of anti- globalization mean if it is not a practical critique of capitalism and what does it wish to achieve if its anti-capitalism fails to espouse the revolutionary project of human emancipation? Anti-capitalist indifference to revolution is a contradiction in terms. Rather then freeing the theory and practice of revolution from Leninism, its conception of revolutionary organization in the form of the party, and its idea of the state whose power is to be seized, as an instrument of revolution, remain uncontested. Revolution seems to mean Leninism, now appearing in moderated form as Trotskyism. Orthodox Marxism invests great energy in its attempt to incorporate the 2 What is to be Done? class struggle into preconceived conceptions of organization, seeking to render them manageable under the direction of the party.
