The reason for special attention to epidemic c. c. m. is the increase in the number of diseases observed in recent years, often unsuccessful therapy, and in connection with this the presence of severe complications and high mortality. According to the materials of our clinic, at least for the last 5 years, it is possible to note a steady growth of the morbidity curve of epid. c. s. In 1927 there were two cases of c. c. s.; in 1927 there were two cases of c. s. s. s. s. In 1928 -14 cases; 1929 -17 cases;. 1930, 19 cases; 1931, 88 cases; for the first half of 1932, 31 cases. Out of 370 cases of c. c. m. in Kazan, the Clinic of Children's Diseases of K. G. M. I., Department for Meningitis, carried out for the period 1931-32 -119 cases, which is 32,1% of the percentage of cases in the city.

It is widely recognized that agglomeration economies are a crucially important factor in explaining the existence and growth of urban areas, and therefore should be explicitly taken into consideration in long-run urban growth analysis. Once such economies are introduced, however, the urban economy tends to diverge from a steady state equilibrium and may ‘explode’ without limit. A possible way to solve this dilemma is shown. First, a simple urban growth model with production and factor migration functions in the presence of agglomeration economies is set up. It is proved that the urban economy with agglomeration economies tends to approach a kind of balanced growth path in the long run, although the growth rate itself is accelerating without limit. It is also shown that if the total demand for the output of the city is growing at an exogenously given rate, a sustainable steady growth equilibrium exists and is unique and globally stable. Then, land is introduced to show that the availability of the third factor of production will make it more likely to achieve a steady growth equilibrium in the presence of agglomeration economies. Last, the model is generalized to include many factors of production.

Barrow in Furness, UHMBT, LA14 4LF, Cumbria, UK Coronavirus disease 2019 is the outbreak caused by a new strain of coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) 1. The outbreak that leads to a global pandemic originated from the city of Wuhan in China 2. According to a CDC report, the commonest underlying conditions among those hospitalized with COVID-19 were diabetes, chronic lung disease, and cardiovascular disease 1. Obesity is a common denominator for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous experience with the H1N1 epidemic showed that obesity is associated with high mortality 3. All of these observations have raised concerns about the impacts that obesity could have on COVID-19.

The young colonial city of Toronto was a landing place for many newcomers to Canada, and was a city of opportunity. The steady growth in population between 1834 and 1861 afforded women employment outside of the home, notably in the needle-trades (i.e. the roles involved in the manufacture of clothing). This article argues that the needle-trades were a significant source of employment for women in pre-industrial period Toronto and explores the social and professional distinctions between ‘dressmakers’ and ‘seamstresses’, by enumerating and aggregating women from the City Directories and 1861 census. Several biographical case studies are included to demonstrate the variety of women employed in the needle-trades, based on information from the primary source data.

Background: Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is a disease with a high mortality rate, caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, a bacteria transmitted to humans by infected ticks. In 2008 there was a Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) outbreak in the city of Mexicali, México, resulting in an increased mortality rate amongst the area population. Methods: Case-series study of patients admitted to the General Hospital of Mexicali between 2014 and 2019 with a confirmed diagnosis of RMSF. Mortality was compared dividing the population on those ≤20 and younger than ˃21 years of age. Results: A total of 129 patients’ records during a 5-year period whose diagnosis was RMSF confirmed with PCR were included. Mortality was compared among patients admitted who were younger than ≤20 years of age with that among patients who were older than ˃20 years of age (61 versus 68 respectively), the latter being higher with an OR 4.2 (p<0.0001). Conclusion: RMSF in hospitalized patients has a high mortality rate in spite of early treatment in all age groups, without showing any predominance in gender. However, patients older than 20 years of age had a higher mortality rate than those younger than 20 years, without any predominance in gender.

Data on the history of children’s health in the Samara region and the establishment of the Pediatric Faculty of the Samara State Medical University are presented. The initiator of the creation of the Pediatric Faculty in 1970 was prof. A.I. Miloserdova, who was in charge of the Department of Children’s diseases from 1957 to 1981. She both actively used the clinics of the regional children’s hospital as a base for the training pediatricians and made a great contribution to the development of the pediatric service of the Samara region. For many years her leadership of the Department of Children’s Diseases contributed to the formation of unforgettable principles of the activity not only of the Department but also of the regional children’s hospital: love for pediatrics, academicism, benevolence, decency, aspiration for new knowledge. A.I. Miloserdova prepared a whole galaxy of brilliant students, who both head the Departments of the Pediatric Faculty and implement new technologies for teaching, diagnosis, and treatment in all branches of the pediatric service of the city and the region.

In 1857 Delhi ceased to be the seat of the Mughal kingdom, and in 1912 it became the capital of the British Empire in India. The city had always had strategic and, therefore, economic and political significance. In the half-century between 1857 and 1912 Delhi's increasing economic and commercial activity prevented the city from sinking, as some historic Indian cities did, into the obscurity of just another provincial town. Curzon described it in 1899 ‘a capital city, now of commerce as once of power’. It acted as the commercial entrepôt for all north India, after becoming the junction of a huge railway network connecting north India to the ports. Commercial expansion in turn led to a steady growth in the city's population. This physical and economic expansion was, however, affected by the government's concern for security in Delhi. The second half of the nineteenth century was the era of urban development in Britain, but when urban government was taking root in India in this same period, it was cramped not only by apathy and financial stringency, as in Britain, but also by strategic considerations. This is an aspect of Indian local government which has not been studied at all. As for Delhi itself, the city has yet to find its urban historian. In this paper I shall examine how far official considerations of military security affected the city's development.

Demographic Forecast

According to the demographic forecast of the development of Russia until 2035, the population of Russia will continue to decline, the trend of low fertility and high mortality will continue, the rate of the Russian leadership on attracting migrants, which will not only save, but also increase the population of Russia [1]. But with an increase in the flow of migrants from the CIS, interethnic and interfaith conflicts are aggravated, growing into serious conflicts like France, Germany, and the United States. In order to reduce tensions and prevent acute conflicts between the host population and migrants, it is necessary to build two-way work to reduce tensions. One of the forms of identifying tensions is to interview the host population. The purpose of this survey is to identify the characteristics of the attitude of the host population towards migrants from the CIS countries in dynamics, using the example of the city of Chelyabinsk.

The City

Like many other cities in the antebellum United States, Charleston, South Carolina, faced the challenge of managing longstanding, overfilled, urban burial spaces in an area with a large population and high mortality rates. Although Charleston would seem to have been an ideal candidate for an early rural cemetery, Magnolia Cemetery was not opened outside the city until almost twenty years after Mount Auburn’s founding. In Charleston, the modernizing impulse illustrated by calls for cemetery reform came in to conflict with the city’s dominant upper class. The establishment of Magnolia Cemetery was undertaken by middle-class Charlestonians who hoped to use burial to create an alternative social hierarchy that existed parallel to Charleston’s rigid slaveholding aristocracy.
