The analysis of the results of complex study of health ofpregnant female migrants demonstrated that their health condition is significantly worse than in comparison group. The most of female migrants suffered from complications during pregnancy and delivery. The percentage of newborns delivered by female migrants without pathologic manifestations was 1.3 times less in comparison with similar percentage in women from comparison group. The developed situation is in many ways is caused by more unfavorable conditions of work and life of female migrants. Besides, it was established that percentage of female migrants without observation in maternity clinic was 19.7 times higher the similar percentage of women from comparison group. The registration prior to 12 weeks ofpregnancy was marked only in every forth female migrant. The percentage of female migrants with biochemical screening applied was three times lower. The analysis of medical social problems ofpregnant female migrants permitted to develop proposals related to management of their health at the expense of amelioration of medical social care including number of organizational, social and medical activities. The experts determined priorities in realization of proposed activities. The developed activities can be used as a background of program on health support of pregnant women from families of migrants as am integral part ofprograms ofpopulation health support.

Migrant Domestic Workers

This paper offers an Islamic perspective on the issues of female migrants, mainly in domestic work, and the Islamic ethics that pertain to their contemporary circumstances in Qatar. It uses intersectionality theory to argue that multiple identity categories of migration, ethnicity and class are important along with gender to better analyse power relations and discrimination facing female migrant domestic workers. It refers to Islamic egalitarian and humanitarian teachings as an ethical framework for legislative and cultural reforms. The paper also offers some real-life examples to illustrate the issues and challenges facing migrant domestic workers in Qatar. In the end, some recommendations and implications are offered.

Abstract Background: Up to a third of students experience a common mental health condition which is associated with decreased academic functioning and an increased risk of dropping out. While the prevalence of common mental health difficulties is lower amongst male students, worryingly, they are twice as likely to die by suicide. The importance of developing interventions that are gender-sensitive for male students to improve their uptake of mental health initiatives has been recently emphasised. However, acceptable, feasible and effective methods for male students are unexplored. The current study conducted three gender-sensitive pilot interventions for male students to evaluate acceptability (including uptake), changes to help-seeking and mental health status.Methods:Three gender-sensitive interventions were delivered to 24 male students. The interventions consisted of: Intervention 1 – a formal mental health intervention targeting male students (“psycho-educational model”), Intervention 2 - a second formal intervention that adopted more gender-sensitive language and promoted positive masculine traits (“positive masculinity model”), and Intervention 3 - an informal drop-in offering a social space for male students to receive general health information and connect with other students (“informal drop-in Man Cave model”). These were evaluated for acceptability (including uptake), attitudes to help-seeking and mental health outcomes.Results:In terms of acceptability, Intervention 3 - the informal drop-in (Man Cave) appeared better at engaging male students who have greater conformity to maladaptive masculine traits, more negative attitudes to help-seeking, higher levels of self-stigma, who were less likely to have used mental health support before and belonged to an ethnic minority. No significant changes to help-seeking attitudes, behaviours, or mental health status were observed across the interventions at feasibility stage. All interventions were deemed equally acceptable with minimal opportunity costs and perceived burden. Conclusions:These findings indicate differences in acceptability, particularly uptake, for male students who may be seen as more difficult to engage. Using informal strategies may help reach male students who would otherwise not engage with mental health support, familiarise them with the idea of help-seeking, and connect them with pre-existing mental health interventions. While no differences in outcomes measured were found in these small studies, more work needs to be carried out using larger samples to investigate the efficacy of informal interventions to engage male students.

More and more facts of the influence of the environment on the physiological processes of the body are accumulating at our disposal. The interaction between the environment and the activity of the entire nervous system (including the vegetative one), the activity of the cardiovascular system, digestive function, external and internal secretion, basic metabolism, etc. can be considered to a certain extent elucidated. We are interested in the question of the influence of the external environment on the activity of a healthy kidney, because this influence has to be taken into account already for practical reasons: 1) for preventive purposes, in order to be able to commensurate the strength and ability of the kidney to carry out its most important excretory function for the body with the load that in her daily work she receives from the external environment, from the conditions of work and life of her bearer, 2) for the purpose of clinical diagnostics when using, for example, a water sample, and also 3) in order to achieve the greatest effect of balneological drinking therapy.

This chapter considers the consequences of the subjectivities of English explored in the previous chapters, exploring how they contribute to the condition of extreme precarity of contemporary Korean society. Through Korea’s neoliberal transformation, work and life has grown significantly insecure. In particular, unemployment of the younger generation has reached a historical high, and fear of failure leads this generation to continuously invest in accumulation of marketable skills and to forgo life itself so that they may survive in the fierce competition in the job market. Through an analysis of how criteria for good English in the white-collar job market have been constantly raised and renewed over the decades since the 1990s, this chapter argues that subjectivities of English promoted in neoliberalism may groom workers to be precarious subjects by aligning their hopes and expectations about life and labor with the insecure and uncertain conditions of work under the neoliberal economy.
