Introduction. Mass events, including sports, such as the World Cup, can contribute to the emergence of public health risks that must be identified and eliminated. Material and methods. We studied data on air pollution, drinking water and soil, information on pollution sources, locations of stationary and mobile observation posts and Saransk infrastructure facilities intended for the FIFA World Cup 2018. The study used methods of hygienic assessment, analysis, and synthesis, comparisons, and generalizations, as well as assessments of risk to public health. Results. Moderate inhalation risks (HI up to 1.14) for respiratory organs may form fine dust (PM10 and PM2.5). The risk to public health during oral acute short-term exposure to chemicals coming from drinking water and soil did not exceed the permissible level. The concentrations of certain elements and chemicals in drinking water exceeded hygienic standards (boron up to 2.36 times, iron up to 2.88 times, fluorides up to 1.48 times). The content of benzo (a) pyrene in the soil exceeded the hygienic standard by 6.49 times. Discussion. The results of similar studies carried out during the period of preparation for the holding of global mass events in Russia in 2013-2019 confirmed the results and conclusions of this work. The main route of exposure of chemicals to the health of the population, guests, and participants of the events is inhalation. Additional control is needed for dust, including PM10 and PM2.5. Conclusion. Revision and modification of the existing system of placement of posts monitoring the quality of the environment are not required. Additional control is needed with respect to PM10 and PM2.5 (atmospheric air), fluorides, boron, iron, nitrates, and strontium (drinking water), benzo (a) pyrene (soil).

Sheer Size

Kumbh Mela is held once in twelve years in India and is being hailed as largest congregation on earth. Kumbh Mela held in Allahabad in 2013 provided unprecedented learning opportunity and seminal scholarship for multi-disciplines spanning public health, business, religious expression, temporary infrastructure, and the makeshift economy among other subjects. Harvard university book 'Kumbh Mela - Mapping the Ephemeral Megacity', claims that Maha Kumbh Mela held in 2013 was better organized than FIFA world cup held in Brazil in 2014. This bears a testimony to the 'Globalizing Indian management thought'. The sheer size is indicated by the fact that as an estimate 120 million people visited the Kumbh Mela at Allahabad in 2013. These events made multinational and Indian companies to mull over sacred calendars and promote their wares and services. There were innovate sales promotions such as 'Lifebuoy se haath dhoye kya' to 'Kya apne dant snan kiya' by Dabur among others. Kumbh Melas as an event represents harmonious existence of religious beliefs and business. This also provides unique opportunity for the Marketers to contribute to the society for social responsibility, while demanding business leadership and cultural sensitivity from managers.The research article makes modest attempt to elucidate various sales promotions of select brands in the context of Kumbh Mela as religious events, and develops conceptual frameworks for understanding of sales promotions at religious events in India for the marketers.

Performance Variables

This study aims to determine the best player in each position from among the footballers who played in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Player statistics for those who played over 200 minutes were obtained from the FIFA official and transfermarkt.com websites. Selected performance variables were then calculated per 100 minutes and the results were normalised. Kruskal Wallis H and Bonferroni Tests were used to determine the weights of the variables before the analysis. As the variables will have different values according to the players’ positions, the weights for each position were calculated separately. Finally, the performances of the players on the basis of the variables used were ranked for each position using the TOPSIS method. A second analysis was undertaken including only those players whose ages were under 28 and goalkeepers whose ages were under 32. The purpose of this analysis was to identify players with potential that had been largely unrecognised up until the tournament. It was found that both the teams selected in this way were dominated by players from European clubs. Ninety-two percent of the top sixty players in the analysis were playing in European leagues with 85% playing in Spain, England, Italy, Germany, France or Russia.
