Nowadays, in the special period of post-epidemic era and industry 4.0, "community" as an important part of the city has become the focus of attention of all sectors of society. Roadways are closely related to the life of the community residents in the space composition of the old communities, which profoundly affects the daily communication and life of the residents living in the community, so the renewal and design of residential roadways in old communities has been a central issue to drive the renovation of communities and revitalize cities. In this paper, based on the theory of urban catalysts, the residential roadways of Sanyi Village in Tanhualin Community in Wuhan are studied from the aspects of the introduction of catalysts, spatial linkage, guidance and follow-up to explore how to integrate the catalysts theory to improve the quality of the community within the limited roadway space of the old communities

During the Great Patriotic War in Kazan, evacuation hospitals were established in Kazan. Teachers of the Kazan State Dental Institute made an invaluable contribution to their work, offering advice and medical aid to the wounded and sick. During the war, members of the department significantly improved the quality of the treatment of the wounded in the maxillofacial region, which contributed to their rapid recovery and return to the troops or to labor. The Great Patriotic War was a special period for the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry of Kazan State Dental Institute, when everything was aimed at providing high quality care and rehabilitation of patients. Staff members of the department of orthopedic dentistry proposed a number of original methods, orthotics and prostheses for the treatment of severe wounds in the maxillofacial region, which have been successfully used in those years. The designs of these devices and prostheses are not outdated; they are successfully used today to treat patients with maxillofacial injuries. Researches of thoughtful and talented scientists, whose labors are methodically published not only in scientific works, but also in prosthetic dentistry textbooks, valuable for the professional development of a new generation of students of dental faculties. Teaching staff of the department of orthopedic dentistry cherishes the memory of the staff members, who contributed to the development and improvement of dental education in the city of Kazan.

Aim. To analyze the structure, organization and effectiveness of outpatient medical care for patients with blood diseases in St. Petersburg, Russia. Methods. 83 reports submitted by the heads of hematological offices at 2000-2012 were analyzed. The effectiveness was evaluated using routine statistical tests. The prevalence of the diseases was assessed by registration forms №7, 35, the data provided by information and analytical center of the Healthcare Committee and the City cancer registry. Medical aid provided to patients at 2010-2012 was studied, for this purpose 250 outpatient files (025/y form) were randomly picked out, the data were collected using specially designed registration cards (254 parameters). Results. Municipal, federal and departmental institutions provide hematologic outpatient medical care in St. Petersburg. The major burden of providing medical care to hematologic patients lays on interdistrict hematological offices, which actively follow-up and treat patients with hematologic cancers. Every sixth patient has complications, and 75% - comorbidities. During the period of study, the attendance rate increased by 33.4% (from 64 766 in 2000 to 86 405 in 2012), the number of the newly-diagnosed patients with hematologic cancers increased by 13.9% (p 0.05), the share of patients with hematologic cancers increased from 28.0 to 50.4%. Cumulative incidence of lymphomas increased from 69.9 to 96.0 per 100 thousand of population; leukemia - from 49.7 to 79.3. Mortality due to lymphomas decreased from 8.1% in 2001 to 5.3% in 2012, and due to leukemia - from 9.2% to 3.6%. Five-year survival rate of patients with leukemia increased from 56.6% to 63.2 % over the period of 2010-2012. Conclusion. The study shows the effectiveness of outpatient hematologic care in St. Petersburg. To further improve the efficiency of outpatient hematologic care in metropolis, it is important to improve the knowledge of hematologic diseases by doctors and pediatricians of general healthcare network, to review the workload of hematological office staff, to focus on preventive component of hematologic care (quality of occupational medical examinations), to develop and implement the new organizational techniques providing costs reduction and improving quality of life.

Abstract Residential fragmentation undermines integration by physically excluding some urban dwellers through walling, fencing and use of barriers limiting interactions. Research has shown that many cities in the Global South are experiencing spatial fragmentation issues associated with increasing inequalities, social exclusion and proliferation of gated communities. This results in distinct residential fragments with limited interactions and unequal quality of life (QoL) conditions of the residents of the fragments. The aim of this paper is to describe the association between residential fragmentation and QoL based on three residential fragments in the city of Nairobi (Kenia). A mixed method approach was applied to understand fragmentation in the city and analyse integration and QoL satisfaction in the fragments. Household surveys and key informant interviews were main data collection methods. Data analysis methods used included descriptive statistics, spatial and content analysis. The results show, as expected, slum residents felt the least integrated symbolically compared to the planned non-gated and gated community residents. Similarly, gated community residents have higher QoL satisfaction compared to other types of fragments. There is a strong positive correlation between symbolic integration and QoL domains related to housing and safety in the slum, indicating that people who are satisfied with housing also have a sense of belonging to their neighbourhood. In contrast, community integration has a negative correlation with safety in the gated community implying that when the residents are satisfied with safety, they tend to have low social networks. Based on the empirical evidence, fragmentation is related to specific domains of QoL as it is associated with spatial exclusion through barriers and gating and marginalization of the poor making it harder for them to feel integrated. The residential fragments reflect the intense divides in Global South cities in terms of QoL conditions and access to services.

Summary: The cathartic effect of suicide is traditionally defined as the existence of a rapid, significant, and spontaneous decrease in the depressive symptoms of suicide attempters after the act. This study was designed to investigate short-term variations, following a suicide attempt by self-poisoning, of a number of other variables identified as suicidal risk factors: hopelessness, impulsivity, personality traits, and quality of life. Patients hospitalized less than 24 hours after a deliberate (moderate) overdose were presented with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression and Impulsivity Rating Scales, Hopelessness scale, MMPI and World Health Organization's Quality of Life questionnaire (abbreviated versions). They were also asked to complete the same scales and questionnaires 8 days after discharge. The study involved 39 patients, the average interval between initial and follow-up assessment being 13.5 days. All the scores improved significantly, with the exception of quality of life and three out of the eight personality traits. This finding emphasizes the fact that improvement is not limited to depressive symptoms and enables us to identify the relative importance of each studied variable as a risk factor for attempted suicide. The limitations of the study are discussed as well as in particular the nongeneralizability of the sample and setting.
