  The methods, mechanisms, and plans for international health cooperation are still vague. However, many studies have confirmed that political affairs have great impacts on health bodies and organizations. Accordingly, the current study focuses on a special case which is the 13-year Syrian crisis, under the semi-collapse of the health system, foreign sanctions, and the unprecedented high demand for public health services. Hence, the problem can be expressed by the following question: Has health cooperation contributed to achieving social results during the Syrian crisis period under the increasing demand for health services? On the other hand, the study aimed to illustrate the reality of health cooperation (global, macro, micro) in the Syrian government areas, which suffer from external sanctions. Moreover, it aims to study, analyze, and predict the demand for health services in Syria (Latakia (using artificial intelligence models represented by the Facebook profit model and illustrating the social consequences of health cooperation in these areas. However, the descriptive analytical approach was used and artificial intelligence models were applied to analyze and predict data using Python. Accordingly, the study has an important set of results including: The economic sanctions imposed on the Syrian government during the current war have had a great impact on the economic situation in general, and the health sector in particular leading to a weak health system. Furthermore, the demand for health services in Latakia public hospitals increased significantly because of people displacement, in addition to high levels of poverty. Health cooperation in Syria has not resulted in effective social returns or to be able to encounter growing demand and minimize citizens’ burdens. Finally, artificial intelligence models are highly efficient and credible in predicting health demand, which contributes to the development of plans and strategies.

  Caring for the elderly is a challenge for any society even if it is a family or institution related issue (Bánlaki 2006). Numerous researches on the care of the elderly have been published, which help to make the care of the elderly as effective as possible (Djellal, Gallouj 2006). Within the framework of our research, we undertook to examine the attitudes (Arlotti, Aguilar-Hendrickson 2017) and experiences of the Roma towards elderly care.
  Our aim was to explore the opinions of adult Roma people on the topic, as well as to identify possible cultural peculiarities in this issue (Hajime et al 2006; Da Roit 2010; Kehusmaa et al. 2013; Szabóné 2018).

  Method:
  We have selected Roma adult people living in Budapest as our target group, most of them perform manual labour, who in the near future are likely to face the issue of caring for their elderly relatives or are already facing it in the capital. We have chosen this target group because there is a wide range of social services in the capital, and this gives us an insight into the confidence or lack of confidence in the social care system. The situation of the Roma elderly in the Hungarian social context is discussed with a nuanced approach based on Roma studies. The opinions and thoughts of 20 Roma adults are highlighted in our presentation, with whom we interviewed. We compiled a semi-structured set of questions for the target group. We tried to capture the attitude of the Roma towards elderly care along different dimensions (Allport, Lindzey 1960; Örkény, Vári 2009): individual responsibility (Nárai 2019) patterns of the family (Bánlaky 2001), financial and other resources (Bourdieu 1999) - assistance, trust in the social care system, readiness for elderly care (Heimlich 2008). Our research was carried out in November 2021 in compliance with the measures associated witht he COVID-19 situation. The interviews took 40-75 minutes long on average per person.
  We compare international trends within formation on elderly care in Hungary and data on the health status of elderly Roma in Hungary (Kodner, 2006).

  Results:
  The uniqueness of our research lies in the fact that we present the strategies of the Roma related to care in the Hungarian social reality, we identify practical problems and challenges, which can even be a breeding ground for future social policy measures (Schwiter et al. 2015). Poverty among the Roma, as well as discrimination and lower life expectancy compared to non-Roma (KSH, 2015) all contribute to the decision-making of Roma adults regarding the care of their elderly relatives, which is confirmed by the answers found in the interviews and the possibilities and strategies formed by the elderly care system (Kovács 2006). Our results showed that access to various social benefits, such as home help and public health care among others is affected during elderly care, and also has a key role to play, but also information among the Roma. In addition to trust in the social care system, financial means or lack of the influence coping strategies for elderly care. The results obtained can be used even for prevention projects aimed at local health preservation, or for any program aimed at improving the health status of the Roma.

  In this keynote presentation, I explore the profound implications of the global demographic shift towards an ageing population. I delve into the challenges and opportunities presented by this shift, using Malta as a unique case study with 25% of its citizens aged 60 and older. The dense population poses challenges for infrastructure, healthcare access, and the overall well-being of older individuals.

  Napjainkban növekvő érdeklődés mutatkozik a kereskedelmi forgalomban is megtalálható gyógygombák, azaz valamilyen pozitív élettani hatással bíró nagygombák fogyasztásának vagy alkalmazásának előnyei iránt általában, illetve a bőr öregedésének vonatkozásában. Tanulmányunk célja, hogy összefoglaljuk azokat a tudományos eredményeket, amelyek alátámasztják, hogy a Ganoderma lucidum bioaktív komponensei a bőr öregedési folyamatai ellen hatnak és hozzájárulnak annak fiatalon tartásához. Áttekintjük, milyen hatással vannak a gomba kivonatai a bőr, vagy a bőr sejtjeinek pigmentációjára, a sebgyógyulásra, a gyulladásra in vitro sejtkultúrákban és in vivo állatkísérletekben. Valamint megvizsgáljuk, melyek azok az esettanulmányok, illetve klinikai vizsgálatok, amik indokolttá teszik a pecsétviaszgomba széleskörű dermatoklinikai, kozmetikai alkalmazását.
