The article considers macroeconomic and social factors of the upsurge of socio-political instability in the Arab world. The Arab countries are compared with other states in the Arab-Muslim world, as well as with the economically fast-growing economies of East and South Asia. It is concluded that Arab countries loosely fit into the promising growth model of the XX century and they are in need of profound reforms.

Aim: to study the medical and social aspects of in-hospital mortality after myocardial infarction (MI) in the cardiology center of a major industrial city in Western Siberia. Patients and methods: the material of the study was the database of patients with acute coronary syndrome (19 283 patients), formed by a continuous method retrospectively. The volume of the study were 6463 patients with MI for 2006–2011. Results: in-hospital mortality of patients with MI was 11,8%, with MI complicated by cardiogenic shock — 87,4%, in the primary MI — 7,4%, during the second MI — 22,1%. In-hospital mortality in MI depends on the age of the patients: in group of patients of working age mortality was 4,7%, the retirement age — 12,4%, old age — 22,7%. In the working-age group mortality in men is almost three times higher than in women. The mortality of patients with MI without reperfusion was 13,4%, in the case of reperfusion therapy — 9,2%. Conclusions: hospital mortality depends on the patient's age, type of MI (primary or repeated), the severity of the condition, applied treatments.

The article is devoted to current epidemiological, social and economic aspects of parenteral viral hepatitis B and C. Statistical data on the incidence, prevalence, outcomes for viral hepatitides are provided. Prior medical and social factors influencing the formation of the epidemiological situation and the activity of infection with viral hepatitis B and C, including gaining the importance of the prevalence of parenterally transmitted viral hepatitis among drinkers, drug users, and HIV infected cases have been analyzed. The issues of economic losses and economic costs required to treat patients with viral hepatitis at various stages of infection were exhaustively covered. On the base of international recommendations a list of medical and social activities for prevention of chronic viral hepatitis B and C was given, the ways to reduce the prevalence of these socially significant diseases were proposed.

Research shows that women both focus on the social aspects of jobs and rate their self-esteem on social factors, so it was hypothesized that women scoring high on a job-satisfaction questionnaire would score significantly higher on those scales of the Adjective Check List which are relevant to self-esteem than women scoring low in job-satisfaction. The results supported the hypothesis. Job-satisfied women were achievement-oriented, cooperative, tactful, social, self-confident, and comfortable with sex-appropriate roles. Job-unsatisfied women were self-critical, suffered from inferiority feelings, and displayed maladaptive tendencies. Further research was suggested.

Our reintroduction of the concept of negative symptoms in schizophrenia (Strauss et al, 1974) has been followed by much productive research on this topic. As in the work of Andreason, Crowe, and others, the focus of most of this research has been on improving descriptive assessments of these symptoms (Andreason, 1982) and exploring their biological correlates (Crowe, 1981). This work has been extremely important, but psychological and social aspects of negative symptoms are also important (Barton, 1959; Wing & Brown, 1970; Gruenberg, 1967), and in these areas there has been little research. Nevertheless, it is crucial to explore possible psychological and social factors in negative symptoms in order to understand the symptoms more fully and to provide a basis for more adequate prevention and treatment. It is also important to clarify psychological and social factors in these symptoms to provide a basis for more effective biological research, since the heterogeneity of negative symptoms at a psychological level could hide significant biological correlates.

AbstractThe spatial, temporal, and formal controls available in Colonial gravestones permit the investigation of the various social dimensions of their occurrences. Those aspects which can be studied include status, community intermarriage, the social implications of stylistic evolution, and, in the case of the cemeteries, relative importance of community as opposed to familial control of interment practices. Such studies provide an understanding of some of the social factors reflected by measurable data of the type encountered in archaeological research. This paper documents specific responses in the evolution of marker styles to the Great Awakening's effect at Boston.

SummaryThere have been substantial changes in the pattern of pregnancies to teenagers in England and Wales in the past 25 years. The number of births and abortions to teenagers has increased until the last 2–3 years since when there has been a decline. This paper looks at the changes that have occurred in the population structure and marital patterns of teenagers during these years, and examines teenage pregnancies and their outcomes with regard to some of the medical and social factors that may have influenced these changes.

In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in the social aspects of medicine, with medicine and sociology cooperating in a number of studies of social factors in health and illness.1 Many of these studies2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 have presented data suggesting that there is a relationship between socioeconomic level and the incidence, prevalence, and treatment of mental illness. Further, in the preventive as well as in the treatment programs, similar relationships have been observed.

Objective: To analyze the influence of physiological and social aspects of pregnant women in perimenopausal age, with births occurring that state of Piauí in 2002 to 2012. Methodology: A descriptive epidemiological study, in which data are provided through the Statement of Live Birth obtained through query in the database of the Information System on Live Births, provided by the Department of the Unified Health System. Results: Were then quantified 582,796 Statements of Live Births, of which 39,003 belong to women aged equal to or above 35 years. The analysis of rates of congenital anomalies shows that maternal age is not a decisive parameter for the incidence of congenital malformation, since the rates on live births to mothers older than 35 years contain variations from 0.26% to 0.86%, and 0.16% to 0.59% in live births to women under the age of 35 years. Conclusion: The understanding by health professionals about social factors and perimenopausal symptoms that affect maternal and fetal health can greatly contribute to the improvement of care. Descriptors: Nursing. Perimenopause. Maternal age. Congenital anomalies.

The object of my study was an attempt to discover what social factors might be said to contribute to either mental health or mental ill-health in old age. I studied the histories of four groups of 50 aged in four different settings which in retrospect might be said to form a spectrum. That is to say that each subsequent social background seemed to be more conducive to normal ageing than the preceding one. The actual sequence of the whole investigation, for technical reasons, was, however, as follows: In the first place I made contact with patients in Tooting Bec Mental Hospital; as a second group I chose people in a Club for Old Age Pensioners in Streatham; thirdly, I visited old people living by themselves in Fulham; and finally, 1 interviewed a group who are living on an Estate at Mill Hill, the Estate being maintained by the Society of Linen and Woollen Drapers. In all but the last sample I studied the cases of 25 men and 25 women.
