Chapter 3 examines the prison conditions and the prison community which contribute to women’s fears over safety while confined. Conditions of material scarcity, substandard living quarters, and few program and treatment resources are exacerbated by the crowding that characterizes contemporary corrections. Women have real concerns about cleanliness, disease, and medical care as primary threats to safety. Crowding, a feature of all contemporary prisons, aggravates the injurious impact of these minimal living conditions as they combine to create a context bound by tension and conflict.

The article is based on the analysis of archival documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time and examines the process of economic and labor settlement of special settlers-Chechens who were subjected to repeated internal resettlement in the Zyryanovsky district (now the Altai district) East Kazakhstan region in the first years of settlement. Тhe study identified the main problems faced by special settlers-Chechens in the Zyryanov district. Social and living conditions of special settlers were reconstructed. Housing conditions, medical care and everyday life are considered. On the basis of the studied materials, the attitude of special settlers to new living conditions and the host society to the special component is shown. The author, relying on archival materials, comes to the conclusion that repeated internal migrations of special settlers-Chechens did not solve social problems.

The Cost

In years 1944–1945, more than 1.400 girls and young women from the Polish city of Łódź were displaced to Ulm in Germany and forced to work there. During their stay, the girls had to endure severe living conditions, and were exposed to diseases. Through deprivation and exploitation, forced laborers for Telefunken were condemned to daily suffering. Such a system of exploitation was symptomatic for the late phase of the war, during which efforts towards increasing war production came at the cost of sacrificing the health of foreign workers. The goal of this paper is a historical reappraisal of their experiences, with special attention paid to the medical care that they received. We present the extent of the medical treatment provided for the laborers, the aim of which was only the restoration of their further ability to work.

Care Organization

Events of regional history often become a subject of study for researchers from different areas that allow you to restore a single picture the history of the country. The issue of medical care organization of spec. migratory population of Ostyako-Vogul national region in the period of industrial development of the country in the 20-30s of the twentieth century has been considered in this article, based on archival documents, including declassified. The expansion of the raw material and energy base through the active development of areas of Ural and Siberia, led to the rapid growth of the population of the region, by forcibly resettled from other regions of the country. Population growth, in turn, complicated the situation with health care, which was already not easy because of the specificity of the region (territorial remoteness and long distances between localities, harsh climate, lack of medical personnel, and so on. Health care for special settlers, especially in the beginning of the 1930s, was hardly established. Existed in the district, few medical aid stations were sent to help the local population, aboriginal people. Medical institutions and personnel were not enough, the most necessary medicines were lack ion sites and so on. The living conditions not meeting the standards, overcrowding, lack of normal living conditions, insufficient supply, paltry rations, hard labor conditions, inadequate and untimely medical care were the main causes of high morbidity and factors in the development of epidemics among special settlers.

Scholars generally agree on the relationship between the physical stature, or height, of children and adults, and their quality of life, or their biological status, including diet, illnesses, intensity and conditions of work, availability of medical care, living conditions, psychological well-being, climate, water, air, and other environmental factors that have impinged on their lives prior to the point at which their height is measured. Genetic factors have an important effect on individual height, but genetic distinctions lose their significance when masses of individuals are measured and average heights are compared. The same effect holds at the level of entire populations: differences in height are determined, not by ethnic or racial attributes, but by living conditions.

IntroductionTransgender identity is poorly accepted in France, and data on living conditions and the daily difficulties transgender people encounter are scarce. This lack of data reinforces their invisibility in social life, contributes to their stigmatisation and probably increases the burden of HIV infection, especially for HIV-positive transgender people (TRHIV). The main objective of the community-based research study ANRS Trans&HIV is to identify personal and social situations of vulnerability in TRHIV, the obstacles they encounter in terms of access to and retention in medical care, and their gender affirmation and HIV care needs.Methods and analysisANRS Trans&HIV is a national, comprehensive, cross-sectional survey of all TRHIV currently being followed in HIV care units in France. TRHIV women are exclusively included in the quantitative component, and TRHIV men in the qualitative component. Data are collected by community-based interviewers and will be analysed to explore patient care pathways and living conditions in the TRHIV population with regard to gender affirmation and HIV. Data collection began in October 2020 and should be completed in December 2021. The statistical analyses techniques used will be adapted to each of the study’s objectives and to the type of data collected (cross-sectional (questionnaires) and retrospective (biographical trajectory)). The study’s results will provide a greater understanding of TRHIV health needs in order to suggest possible national recommendations for comprehensive HIV and gender affirmation medical care.Ethics and disseminationANRS Trans&HIV was approved by Inserm’s Ethical Evaluation Committee (no 20-694 on 12 May 2020) and is registered with the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty under number 2518030720. Potential participants are informed about the study through an information note provided by their attending HIV physician. All results published in peer-reviewed journals will be disseminated to the HIV transgender community, institutional stakeholders and healthcare providers.Trial registration numberNCT04849767.

Mental And Behavioral Disorders

Annotation. In contrast to Ukraine, psychosocial rehabilitation in European countries today is gaining considerable popularity for the socialization and reintegration of patients with mental disorders, for their more adaptive self-improvement. The article analyzes the experience in the EU in the latest, modern, psychosocial methods of providing medical care/rehabilitation to patients with mental disorders to improve patient self-management skills, personal reintegration, development of adaptive properties, self-improvement and to reduce health care costs. Hygienic substantiation of measures to optimize living conditions and treatment and rehabilitation process for patients with mental and behavioral disorders. To perform the tasks in the sociological study involved 92 people – relatives of patients with mental disorders using a specially designed questionnaire: “A method of determining the quality of medical care by relatives of a psychiatric patient and the relationship “doctor-relative””. The survey had conducted in January 2020 before the start of quarantine on COVID-19 and the beginning of the second phase of medical reform in the field of psychiatry. The work used content analysis of domestic and foreign scientific sources, bibliosemantic, analytical, and statistical research methods. It has found that the most significant problems faced by patients in providing them with psychiatric care, according to relatives, are the inconsistency of sanitary and hygienic conditions of patients in psychiatric hospitals – 62.6%, low quality of care – 37.3% and inattentive attitude on the part of medical staff – 34.7%. A sociological survey of relatives of patients with mental and behavioral disorders found that patients are referring for treatment only in critical conditions. Treatment of patients with mental and behavioral disorders nowadays, it is necessary to introduce a comprehensive approach, not just psychopharmacological drugs. To do this, each patient must individually develop psychosocial rehabilitation methods: training in music therapy, communication, motivation, sports training, bibliotherapy, art therapy, animal therapy, training to improve social adaptation, activation of independence, as is done in the EU.
