    The relationship between the us and France has profoundly affected the process of international intervention, use of force and humanitarian actions in the conflicts across the world since 1990. Military interventions and decision making in international affairs has been the result of the balance of powers inside the UN Security Council from the end of the Cold War onwards. From the peak of 9/11 to the low of the Iraq war the French-American relations have constantly kept the international agenda alive. With the changes in both the US and French administrations in the past 4 years, with the overall EU dynamic, as well as with the developments in MENA (Middle East-North Africa) in recent months, the interaction between those two main actors of the trans-Atlantic partnership, has gained new dimensions. The present paper attempts to analyze the consequences of the French-American relations of the past 2 decades on the UN system and on the legitimacy of international interventions

Natalitatea în prezent este considerată o problemă medico-socială majoră fiind cauzată de o serie de factori: îmbătrânirea populației, starea economică, sănătatea reproductivă etc. Scopul lucrării. Evaluarea unor aspecte medico-sociale ale natalității în diferite țări. Material și Metode. Studiu secundar, de tip - sinteza narativă. Analiza surselor: PubMed, Med ONE, NLM, NCBI, reviste științifice; data publicării: 2015-2021; limba: engleză, franceză, română și rusă. Rezultate. Conform surselor bibliografice identificăm ca unul dintre principalii factori care influențează natalitatea este starea nesatisfăcătoare de sănătate a femeilor cuprinse intre vârsta 15-49 ani. Un alt factor care determină valori scăzute ale natalității sunt grupele de vârstă și sexe, ceea ce se reflectă prin populația feminină îmbătrânită, statutul marital și divorțuri. Un al treilea factor se consideră condițiile de trai, și anume in localitățile unde resursele de hrană si resursele materiale sunt limitate. Concluzii. Factorii menționați anterior contribuie extrem de mult la scăderea natalității in lume. Ar fi bine ca persoanele calificate și instruite în acest domeniu să întreprindă măsuri atât de informare, consolare cât și susținere psihologică și materială astfel încât populația să fie pregătită de a da naștere noii generații.Introduction.
