The current system of socio-hygienic monitoring provides the solution of the following tasks: priority and systematization of risk factors, assessment and forecast of risk for the health of the children population, planning and control of the activities of supervisory authorities with the introduction of a risk-based approach into their practice. Therefore, there was a need to summarize the huge and insufficiently systematic material of many-years research to assess the risk fir the health of the children population. The paper summarizes the materials of the annual “State Reports on the Sanitary and Epidemiological Well-Being of the Population of the Chelyabinsk Region” over the past three years. There is given an assessment of the risk forecast, including an assessment of the risk to the health of the children population, statistical methods for analyzing and assessing the structure of diseases under the influence of environmental factors, social factors and a risk-based approach to control and surveillance activities to assess the sanitary and epidemiological situation at educational facilities. There are identified main priority sanitary and epidemiological, social risk factors that form negative trends in the health status of the region’s children, with an analysis of the structure of their incidence, an assessment of the risk of multi-environmental exposure to chemical environmental factors. The causal relationship between the morbidity structure in children and adolescents with the negative influence of environmental factors and their lifestyle has been revealed. The on-alertness for the health of the child population living in three territories of the region is noted to be in the range of acceptable risk. The analysis of carcinogenic risk revealed the main risk factors for the population when consuming water and agricultural products to include the presence of arsenic and chloroform in them. In 2018, 0.05% of children’s organizations were established to be assigned to the high-risk group, 6.5% - to the significant-risk group, and 1.9% - to the low-risk group. The implemented risk-based approach to the practice of control and supervision activities of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare and systematic long-term monitoring of data made it possible to improve the sanitary and epidemiological situation at the objects of education and training of children and adolescents.

According to the federal law «Formation of a system for motivating citizens to a healthy lifestyle, including healthy eating and giving up bad habits» (or «Strengthening public health») which is a part of «Demography» National project, there is a work needed for healthy food’s popularization including the development and realization of unique educational programs dedicated to rational and balanced nutrition. The aim of the investigation is a discussion of approaches to implementation target educational healthy nutrition programs. The scientific and educational centers of healthcare institutions and Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare scientific organizations took part in developing the academic programs. Eight target programs were designed such as for preschool children, for pregnant and lactating women; for persons over working age; for persons with an increased level of physical activity; for the population working in hazardous and challenging working conditions; for people living in regions with specific environmental factors (micro-and macronutrients insufficiency, climate conditions). The development of interaction between particular departments of regional executive authority that take part in regional programs for implementing federal law «Strengthening public health» ministries or departments of the education and healthcare system is needed for reaching declared goals for the were educating the population on relevant knowledge and skills. The distribution of health nutrition educational program’s materials should be started among pupils in educational organizations considering the children’s physiologically determined learning ability. The projected difficulties can be the next: staff insufficiency in Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare local authorities and organizations; lack of creativity during the choosing of using methods; the passivity of other ministries and departments; insufficient technical equipment in educational organizations; psychological resistance to innovations.

UNSTRUCTURED The desire for healthcare organizations to reduce the cost of chronic care and to prevent disease from occurring to begin with, has coincided with the development of new technology that is revolutionizing digital health. Numerous health-oriented mobile phone applications (referred to as mHealth apps) have been developed and are available for download into smartphones. These mHealth apps serve a wide range of functions. There are apps that monitor data to treat or avoid chronic illness; apps for managing daily activities and diet; apps promoting healthy choices for people who want to maintain and improve their overall health, and many others. While it is generally recognized that mHealth apps have a significant potential for promoting public health, little research has been done to determine user preferences for such apps. Understanding what users want in their mHealth apps can help increase their acceptability and encourage healthy lifestyles. The research in this article tests the major product qualities of such apps, asking two key questions: Do users seek interaction with a live physician, or are they willing to rely on artificial intelligence to analyze data from their app? Which aspects of their app do they consider as having a positive instrumental, aesthetic, or symbolic value? Next, the research presented here tests how these judgments influence product preference. The contribution of this paper is its focus on user preferences which may help in the design of mHealth apps to better address peoples’ needs—thus encouraging a wide, frequent, and effective use of such tools which promote public health.

The antimicrobial properties of various chemical compounds are significantly different. These differences are determined as the properties of the chemical compound and the properties of applied microorganisms. To determine the antimicrobial activity and establish the minimum effective concentrations of the most common chemical compounds, the Research Institute for Disinfectology of the Federal Service on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare Supervision Rospotrebnadzor conducted extensive research. The antimicrobial properties of chemical compounds were studied in relation to the main test microorganisms - gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi, mold, viruses. The results obtained allowed establishing the minimum effective concentration for 9 chemical compounds in relation to 10 test microorganisms.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to increased concern over transmission of pathogens from humans to animals (“spillback”) and its potential to threaten conservation and public health. To assess this threat, we reviewed published evidence of spillback events, including instances where spillback could threaten conservation and human health. We identified 97 verified examples of spillback, involving a wide range of pathogens; however, infected hosts were mostly non-human primates or large, long-lived captive animals. Relatively few spillback events resulted in morbidity and mortality, and very few led to maintenance of a human pathogen in a new reservoir or subsequent “secondary spillover” back into humans. Together, these results imply that spillback represents an apparently minor threat to conservation and public health, particularly relative to other anthropogenic stressors like land use and climate change. Lastly, we outline how researchers can collect experimental and observational evidence that will expand our capacity for spillback risk assessment.

Taking the office of the coninc der ribauden in Ghent as a case-study, this article reconstructs the enforcement of urban sanitation and preventative health practices during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The coninc managed a wide range of issues perceived as potentially polluting, damaging or threateningto health. Banning waste and chasing pigs as well as prostitutes off the streets, the office implemented a governmental vision on communal well-being. Health interests, as part of a broader pursuit of the common good, therefore played an important yet hitherto largely overlooked role in medieval urban governance.
