Goal. Analysis and generalization of the results of research on the problem of a global nature regarding the expansion of the range of the species Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. as a result of the impact of climate change. Methods. System-analytical, abstract-logical, empirical. Research results. According to research, scientists have predicted that A. artemisiifolia will shift to the northeast and expand its potential range in Europe due to climate change. It has been established that the spread of A. artemisiifolia is facilitated by global warming in Europe, which leads to the manifestation of high invasive potential of the species in wide ranges within Europe. Using ENM, scientists have clearly identified areas that are at risk of spreading and undergoing negative changes. Conclusions. Global warming, which has already taken place, continues to contribute to the further spread and manifestation of the invasive potential of A. artemisiifolia in Europe, according to the simulation results. Multilateral studies by foreign scientists on the impact of climate change on the spread of ragweed have shown that Ukraine is one of the countries in which this vicious species of weed will spread. Such research contributes to the effectiveness of decisions that depend on the protection and preservation of crops, the preservation of the country’s biodiversity, as well as the ability to take into account its impact on public health. Under such conditions, measures for monitoring and management of the species are extremely relevant.

Objectives: To provide an oveiview of the current application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of public health and epidemiology, with a special focus on antimicrobial resistance and the impact of climate change in disease epidemiology. Both topics are of vital importance and were included in the “Ten threats to global health in 2019“ report published by the World Health Organization. Methods: We analysed publications that appeared in the last two years, between January 2017 and October 2018. Papers were searched using Google Scholar with the following keywords: public health, epidemiology, machine learning, data analytics, artificial intelligence, disease surveillance, climate change, antimicrobial resistance, and combinations thereof. Selected articles were organised by theme. Results: In spite of a large interest in AI generated both within and outside the scientific community, and of the many opinions pointing towards the importance of a better use of data in public health, few papers have been published on the selected topics in the last two years. We identify several potential reasons, including the complexity of the integration of heterogeneous data, and the lack of sound and unbiased validation procedures. Conclusions: As there is a better comprehension of AI and more funding available, artificial intelligence will become not only the centre of attention in informatics, but more importantly the source of innovative solutions for public health.

Abstract Background: Climate change is not only increasing ambient temperature but also accelerating the frequency, duration and intensity of extreme weather and climate events, such as heavy precipitation and droughts, and causing sea level rise, which can lead to population displacement. Climate change-related reductions in land productivity and habitability and in food and water security can also interact with demographic, economic and social factors to increase migration. In addition to migration, climate change has also implications for travel and the risk of disease. This article discusses the impact of climate change on migration and travel with implications for public health practice. Methods: Literature review. Results: Migrants may be at increased risk of communicable and non-communicable diseases, due to factors in their country of origin and their country of destination or conditions that they experience during migration. Although migration has not been a significant driver of communicable disease outbreaks to date, public health authorities need to ensure that effective screening and vaccination programmes for priority communicable diseases are in place. Population growth coupled with socio-economic development is increasing travel and tourism, and advances in technology have increased global connectivity and reduced the time required to cover long distances. At the same time, as a result of climate change, many temperate regions, including high-income countries, are now suitable for vector-borne disease transmission. This is providing opportunities for importation of vectors and pathogens from endemic areas that can lead to cases or outbreaks of communicable diseases with which health professionals may be unfamiliar. Conclusion: Health systems need to be prepared for the potential population health consequences of migration, travel and tourism and the impact of climate change on these. Integrated surveillance, early detection of cases and other public health interventions are critical to protect population health and prevent and control communicabledisease outbreaks.
