Aim. The purpose of the study: the analysis of morbidity of workers of the ship-building and ship-repair enterprises of the city of Astrakhan taking into account a quantitative estimation of influence of determinants. Material and methods. Sociological survey, methods of nonparametric statistics and mathematical modeling. For a detailed assessment of the influence of risk factors on the health of workers in shipbuilding and ship repair enterprises, an analysis of risk factors was conducted. As a tool for assessing the effectiveness of a determinant on the health of shipbuilders using a predicative analysis and predictive model of a mathematical assessment of the development of medical, social and production determinants on the health of workers. Results and its discussion. According to the results of the study, the most significant production hazards were revealed, as well as the statistically significant effect of the duration of work in conditions of industrial hazards on the incidence of male workers in shipbuilding and ship repair enterprises in the city of Astrakhan.The results of the study testified to the high level of medical and social activity of workers in shipbuilding and ship repair enterprises in contact with industrial hazards and identified the reserves for its further growth in the framework of the continuous introduction of prevention programs. The revealed correlation between the frequency of registration of the pathology of shipbuilders and ship repairmen and their work experience has made it necessary to construct a predictive model with the identification of the determinants of morbidity. And the construction of a predictive model on the basis of actual data provided an opportunity to manage these determinants without further monitoring and forecasting. The conclusion. The reduction of the risk of occurrence of industrial hazards associated with industrial hazards in shipbuilding and ship repair workers is promoted by annual medical and preventive measures, timely diagnostics and qualitative medical examination, as well as improvement of working conditions for employees of the enterprise.

Aim of study. Analysis of quality of life of patients attending to the unit for multiple sclerosis in the city of Krasnoyarsk. Material and methods. A total of 54 patients with multiple sclerosis were studied. Investigation of their quality of life was performed via the SF-36 scale while revealing of anxiety-depressive disorders was carried out according to the HADS scale. Accordingly, the question of presence of employment and children was specified. The neurological status was assessed according to the EDSS disability index. Comparative analysis of patient surveying results and the data obtained from the control group formed from clinically healthy subjects. Results. MS patients were observed to have statistically significant decline in physical function and overall health status. Correlation analysis within the main studied group revealed decrease of the physical component of quality of life and lower employment rate against the background of increased EDSS score. The larger result according to the depression HADS subscale restricted social function and the larger score in the anxiety subscale restricted the role emotional functioning. Conclusion. The quality of life parameters have stronger correlation with the disability degree and negative expectations of the patients related to progression of the disease. Based on the study results, the MS unit is recommended to apply the HADS scale in its practice for rapid assessment of the emotional state of patients and prescription of relevant symptomatic therapy. The patients are recommended to support their level of social activity and adhere to regular intake of DMDs.

AbstractThe CARLA study (Cardiovascular Disease, Living and Ageing in Halle) is a longitudinal population-based cohort study of the general population of the city of Halle (Saale), Germany. The primary aim of the cohort was to investigate risk factors for cardiovascular diseases based on comprehensive cardiological phenotyping of study participants and was extended to study factors associated with healthy ageing. In total, 1779 probands (812 women and 967 men, aged 45–83 years) were examined at baseline (2002–2005), with a first and second follow-up performed 4 and 8 years later. The response proportion at baseline was 64.1% and the reparticipation proportion for the first and second follow-up was 86% and 77% respectively. Sixty-four percent of the study participants were in retirement while 25% were full- or partially-employed and 11% were unemployed at the time of the baseline examination. The currently running third follow-up focuses on the assessment of physical and mental health, with an intensive 4 h examination program, including measurement of cardiovascular, neurocognitive, balance and gait parameters. The data collected in the CARLA Study resulted in answering various research questions in over 80 publications, of which two thirds were pooled analyses with other similar population-based studies. Due to the extensiveness of information on risk factors, subclinical conditions and evident diseases, the biobanking concept for the biosamples, the cohort representativeness of an elderly population, and the high level of quality assurance, the CARLA cohort offers a unique platform for further research on important indicators for healthy ageing.

In the context of the increasing level of requirements, new re-forms and standards in the modern educational system, teachers experience a significant emotional burden. The professional activity of a university lecturer is accompanied by increased moral responsibility and, consequently, is characterized by a high level of emotional, and in the future, professional burnout. Some socio-psychological and professional features, as well as risk factors for professional burnout of higher school teachers, are noted. The results of the study of the diagnosis of professional burnout of medical university lecturers are presented. It is noted that in specialists who are lecturers and doctors at the same time, professional burnout is more pronounced than in lecturers who are engaged only in pedagogical activities. The factors that mostly cause the process of burnout of teachers are identified: work experience, age, dissatisfaction with work, stress resistance. The recommendations on the implementation of the skills of self-regulation of the emotional state, aimed at preventing the syndrome of professional burnout, are given.

Building of predictive model starts and finishes the forecasting of service sector. Natural sciences operate mainly with theoretical models, which are based on the existing common factors of the surrounding world with a high level of formalization and enormous potential of measurements through computer technology and software products specifically designed for such purposes. High level of mathematization of economic research and commitment to formalization of the processes and phenomena are the reason of it. Therefore, predictive model appears as a system of tables, graphs, rules, and so forth, and is a set of measurable indicators that fully reflect the structure and nature of the research subject. Forecast in this case is transforming certain specific values of the indicators of specified model in the changed indicators of search and normative models. Development of the service sector (transport, economic, information, communication, management, trade, scientific) and gradual freedom from harmful heavy industries in the territory of the city are the trend of the last decades. This is a natural development process of the metropolis; there are enough plants in the city polluting the environment. Predictive model of service sector is the object of this study formalized in such a way as to make possible to quantitative estimate of analytical and prognostic properties. Predictive model is developed by the example of land passenger transport of Moscow. Road passenger transport in Moscow is one of the most important services for both the population and the economy of the city as a whole. Therefore it is necessary for the further development of this service to carry out continuous prediction of the future to preserve the positive trends and to prevent crisis situations. Development of a predictive model of land passenger transport is a process involving certain stages. The results of each stage of the predictive model development will require the collection of statistical information about the status of land passenger transport in Moscow, the definition of specific functioning processes of the city’s transportation system.

Locality and identity associated with it retain their sociality and significance in the modern world. The “smart city” concept has institutionalized the transition to the information type society. Hence, the problem is to define the role of identity in the city’s transition to the state of intelligence. Such concern is explained by the possibility to construct the urban identity and social space of the city as elements of intangible resources of development. The purpose of this article is to determine the relationship between the urban identity of citizens, their social activity and the use of smart city technologies. Hypotheses: the urban identity of citizens has an impact on the social activity of the citizen; citizens with a high level of urban identity use smart technologies to realize their social activity. The survey of 877 residents of Tyumen showed that the socially active part of the citizens with a high index of urban identity uses smart technologies to participate in the management of the city. The article presents a theoretical understanding of the urban identity of citizens. It analyzes the sociological study of the connection between urban identity and the implementation of the “smart city” concept.

AbstractBackground: Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a process designed to restore full physical, psychological and social activity and to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Fear of movement may contribute to the occurrence and intensification of hypokinesia, and consequently affect the effectiveness of therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the level of barriers of physical activity in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. The relationship between selected determinants (age and health selfassessment) and the kinesiophobia level were also examined.Material/Methods: 115 people aged 40-84 years were examined: 50 females (x = 63.46; SD = 11.19) and 65 males (x = 64.65; SD = 10.59) - patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at the Upper-Silesian Medical Centre in Katowice. In the present study, the Polish version of questionnaires: Kinesiophobia Causes Scale (KCS) and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used. Questionnaires were supplemented by authors’ short survey.Results: The patients presented an elevated level of kinesiophobia, both in general as well as in individual components. In women, the kinesiophobia level was higher than in men. The psychological domain was a greater barrier of physical activity than the biological one. Strong, negative correlations of psychological and biological domains of kinesiophobia to physical functioning (SF-36) were noted in women. In the case of men, correlations were weaker, but also statistically significant.Conclusions: 1. Sex differentiates patients in their kinesiophobia level 2. Poor self-assessment of health is associated with a greater intensification of kinesiophobia 3. A high level of kinesiophobia may negatively affect cardiac rehabilitation process

Introduction:The high level of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is largely due toinsufficient influence on the main risk factors that contribute to the development of myocardial infarction.Therefore, a detailed study and assessment of risk factors is among the most important problems of medical and social importance. The aim: To study and evaluate the impact of biological, social and hygienic, social and economic, psychological, natural and climatic risk factors on the development of myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: A sociological survey was conducted in 500 people aged 34 to 85. They were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of 310 patients with myocardial infarction. The control group consisted of 190 practically healthy people, identical by age, gender and other parameters, without diseases of the cardiovascular system. Results: It was defined that 30 factors have a significant impact on the development of myocardial infarction.Data analysis revealed that the leading risk factors for myocardial infarction were biological and socio-hygienic. The main biological factors were: hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The man socio-hygienic factor was smoking. Conclusions: Identification of risk factors provides new opportunities for the development of more effective approaches for the prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction.

ObjectivesThis study assessed knowledge, beliefs and practices of elite female footballers regarding injury prevention.MethodsA survey was sent to players participating in the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019. Questions covered three injury prevention domains: (1) knowledge; (2) attitudes and beliefs; (3) prevention practices in domestic clubs. Additionally, ACL injury history was assessed.ResultsOut of 552 players, 196 women responded (35.5%). More than 80% of these considered injury risk to be moderate or high. Players listed knee, ankle, thigh, head and groin as the most important injuries in women’s football. The most important risk factors identified were low muscle strength, followed by poor pitch quality, playing on artificial turf, too much training, reduced recovery and hard tackles. In these elite players, 15% did not have any permanent medical staff in their domestic clubs, yet more than 75% had received injury prevention advice and more than 80% performed injury prevention exercises in their clubs. Players identified the two most important implementation barriers as player motivation and coach attitude. Two-thirds of players used the FIFA 11+ programme in their clubs.ConclusionsThis diverse group of elite players demonstrated good knowledge of risk level and injury types in women’s football. Of the risk factors emphasised by players, there was only one intrinsic risk factor (strength), but several factors out of their control (pitch quality and type, training volume and hard tackles). Still players had positive attitudes and beliefs regarding injury prevention exercises and indicated a high level of implementation, despite a lack of medical support.

Background:Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis with progressive, erosive destruction associated with functional impairment. Principles of treat-to-target (T2T) have been widely used in rheumatoid arthritis, which has powerfully improved patient outcomes. In 2017, the concept of T2T has proposed to apply in PsA patients. However, the awareness and implementation of evidence-based T2T treatment guidelines varies across different geographical regions of China, hospital grades, professional status and specialities.Objectives:The study aimed to investigate Rheumatologists’ views and experiences in managing PsA patients with T2T strategy in china.Methods:A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of Rheumatologists in China from 5 August to 15 August 2020 was conducted for this study. Rheumatologists were contacted by WeChat (a Chinese cell/web app) and asked to complete a web-based questionnaire anonymously. The electronic questionnaire was sent out by the internet platform of WenJuanXing via WeChat (https://www.wjx.cn/). The questionnaire was designed to collect: (a) demographic information; (b) patient management in clinical practice for Rheumatologists; (c) familiarity and application of T2T strategy in Rheumatologists. P values ≤0.05 were considered significant.Results:(1) A total of 823 rheumatologists (69.87% female, 30.13% male) provided valid answers to the questionnaire. 71.09% of the participants major in Modern Western Medicine, 28.91% major in traditional chinese medicine. A total of 75.94% worked in Grade-A Tertiary Hospital. A total of 52.73% had more than 10 years of work experience and 63.55% had High-level title. (2) More than half of the patients were followed up by 69% Rheumatologists in their daily practice. The proportion of follow-up patients increased powerfully in the group of Rheumatologists who major in Modern Western Medicine (P=0.014), work in Grade-A Tertiary Hospital (P<0.001), have more than 10 years of work experience (P<0.001) and High-level title (P<0.001). (3) 36.45% Rheumatologist thought the frequency for patient disease activity assessment was every 1 month and 53.1% was every 3 months. And 41.7% Rheumatologist prefer to use PASDAS for disease activity criteria, and only 3.6% choose MDA. (4) A total of 62.43% thought they were familiar with T2T strategy, and 83.6% Rheumatologists applied T2T strategy in clinical practice. Among 135 Rheumatologists who did not apply T2T strategy, 62.2% of Rheumatologists thought that the main barrier to T2T application was that they did not fully understand the strategy. The frequency of application of T2T strategy in clinical practice was significantly different between Rheumatologists who major in Modern Western Medicine (60.75%) and traditional chinese medicine (22.84%) (P=0.023).Conclusion:In china, the management of PsA patients need to be standardized to improve patient outcomes. And the promotion of T2T strategy in PsA need to be further strengthened.References:[1]Smolen JS, Schöls M, Braun J,et al.

The research presented in this paper describes an evaluation of the impact of spatial interventions in public spaces, measured by social media data. This contribution aims at observing the way a spatial intervention in an urban location can affect what people talk about on social media. The test site for our research is Domplatz in the center of Hamburg, Germany. In recent years, several actions have taken place there, intending to attract social activity and spotlight the square as a landmark of cultural discourse in the city of Hamburg. To evaluate the impact of this strategy, textual data from the social networks Twitter and Instagram (i.e., tweets and image captions) are collected and analyzed using Natural Language Processing intelligence. These analyses identify and track the cultural topic or “people talking about culture” in the city of Hamburg. We observe the evolution of the cultural topic, and its potential correspondence in levels of activity, with certain intervention actions carried out in Domplatz. Two analytic methods of topic clustering and tracking are tested. The results show a successful topic identification and tracking with both methods, the second one being more accurate. This means that it is possible to isolate and observe the evolution of the city’s cultural discourse using NLP. However, it is shown that the effects of spatial interventions in our small test square have a limited local scale, rather than a city-wide relevance.
