Aim of the article. The article reveals the main aspects related to the organization of sanitary and medical services for ethnic Germans, exported by the Nazi authorities from the occupied regions of Ukraine in 1943-1944. Research methods. Problem-chronological, descriptive and comparative methods were used. Scientific novelty. Based on the involvement of a wide range of archival documents, for the first time in historiography, it was possible to highlight in detail one of the littleknown and at the same time essential subjects of the evacuation of ethnic Germans from the occupied Ukrainian regions in 1943-1944. Conclusions. The level of health care for German refugees depended mostly on the territory of their stay. At the first stage of the evacuation, the Nazi authorities were unable to pay due attention to this significant issue since many resources were at the Wehrmacht disposal. The negligent attitude of indeed responsible authorities to the evacuated ethnic Germans' problems also played an important role. Very significant changes in refugees' situation took place only after moving to German territory in early 1944. Trying to prevent the mass spread of various infectious diseases among them, the Nazi administration was forced to take several urgent measures (such as disinfection, quarantine, and vaccination), which helped stabilize the sanitary and epidemiological situation gradually.

For the first time in the historiography, the paper views the Russian (Moscow) Assembly of the Nobility as a communication venue for the upper class and the Emperor. Based upon archival documents, periodicals, letters, diaries and records of the contemporaries, the researcher focuses on the emerging reception practices by the public organization of the Emperor, as well as various ways of communication that arose between the monarch and his subjects at a ball. The spatial-hierarchical place of a person at a ball and at the festive table depended on his/her symbolic capital: rank, nobility, age, and personal acquaintance with the emperor and his family. The communication at a ball was secular by nature, and excluded any serious topics. The communication between the monarch and the nobility at a ball was of three types: dancing and body contact, verbal and visual. Imperial balls in the Russian Assembly of the Nobility aimed at strengthening the monarch's ties with the nobility and served as a crucial tool of publicly expressing the pro-monarchical feelings by the Moscow’s upper class. Therefore, the leaders and members of the assembly, who appreciated the symbolic value of these balls, spent huge amounts of money on their organization. The details of the monarch’s receptions in the Russian Assembly of the Nobility were published in newspapers. The research is based on a wide range of archival (Central State Archive of Moscow, Russian State Archive of Literature and Art) and published sources: chamber fourrier journals, memoirs, notes and letters, as well as periodicals (newspapers Severnaya Pchela, Severnaya Pochta, Moskovskie Vedomosti). Many of these materials are first introduced into the academic domain.

For the first time, more than 700 award, anniversary and commemorative badges reflecting the history of hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology were systematized and analyzed. The following directions are identified for studying the history of these medical specialties and educational and scientific disciplines with the help of epigraphy: 1) outstanding figures of hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology; 2) hygienic and epidemiological congresses, congresses and other forums; 3) specialized research institutions; 4) educational institutions and faculties of universities that train specialists in the field of hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology; 5) pathogens and vectors of infectious diseases; 6) methods of detecting microorganisms and treating infections; 7) the COVID-19 pandemic. The study showed that during the XX and XXI centuries a large number of badges (awards and commemorative) were issued, reflecting selected pages of the history of hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology. These faleristic objects related to the art of small forms are full-fledged primary sources for studying the history of these areas of medicine and objects for the collections of state, municipal and departmental museums of medical subjects. Signs with portraits of outstanding hygienists, microbiologists and epidemiologists can be used to study and illustrate their life and activities, contribution to science and perpetuate their memory. Epigraphy on the presented signs can help both in establishing the time of a particular fact or event in the past (for example, the dates of the life and activity of an outstanding scientist; the time, place and subject of the scientific forum, the opening date of the research institute, educational institution, faculty or department, etc.), and the specifics of conducting scientific research in the field of hygiene, microbiology and epidemiology (pathogens and vectors of diseases; concepts, devices and research methods, methods of diagnosis and prevention of infectious diseases, etc.).

The purpose of the article is consist of identification andsummarization the disparate little-known facts of the creative communityof Sergei Prokofiev with Gregory Pyatigorsky and Mstislav Rostropovich,which preceded the creation of the „Concerto for Cello and Orchestra”op. 58 and „Symphony Concert for Cello and Orchestra”, op. 125. Theauthor is determining the reasons of the transformation from the soloconcert genre into a genre of a symphony-concert, taking into account thehistorical and biographical aspect. The research methods are based on theuse of various research approaches. The method of complex musicologicalanalysis is used, synthesizes historical and theoretical aspects andcombines disparate, little-known facts of biographical information. Thecomparative method involving such methods as analysis, synthesis,comparison, allows to reveal the features of the performance interpretationof the works. Axiological approach is the basis where the value criteria ofinterpretation versions are formed. Structurally analytical method is thebasis where the logic of a statement of a material and conclusions ofresearch is formed. The empirical method allows to carrying out the studyof the proposed topic at a practical level. Scientific novelty consists ofargumentation of the fact that the creative community of the composer andperformer is one of the determining factors in the formation of theimmanent properties of the work. For the first time, the development of thecello concert genre in the works of S. Prokofiev was proposed intoanalisys through the prism of the creative tandems of the composer withG. Pyatigorsky and M. Rostropovich. This perspective of the comparativeanalysis of works represents an understanding of the basis for thetransformation of the genre of a solo concert into the genre of a symphonyconcert. The conclusions highlight the importance of creative interactionbetween the composer and the performer. The base from the analysis ofthe two works a namely „Concert for cello and orchestra” op. 58,dedicated to G. Pyatigorsky and its late edition, known as „SymphonyConcerto for Cello and Orchestra” op. 125, dedicated to M. Rostropovich, generalize the specifics of the composer’s creative tandem withperformers, substantiates the hypothesis about the transformation of theConcert genre model (romantic concert model) into the ConcertSymphony (synthesis of the baroque and romantic model). The communityof S. Prokofiev with G. Pyatigorsky and M. Rostropovich enriched themany-sidedness of the composer’s ideological and compositional designthanks to a wide range of methods of translating the musical material thatthese soloists owned.

In 2015, the WHO recognized health care in France as the best in the world. It has the highest average life expectancy in Europe, the lowest mortality from cardiovascular diseases, and one of the highest birth rates. The state spends 11.8 % of its GDP on health care, ranking third in the world after the USA (17.4 %) and the Netherlands (12 %). France has a complex system uniting private and public sectors that provide medical services and health care financing. The system is based on the principles of compulsory health insurance, which is largely complemented by voluntary one. The national health insurance system, overseen by the Ministry of Social Affairs, covers 99 % of the country’s population and provides equitable access to guaranteed health care. A wide range of almost unlimited medical services is available not only in the hospital sector, but also in the outpatient one. The national insurance system is an integral part of the compulsory social security system.

For the first time, on the basis of published and archival documents, the issue of a hospital as an object of social infrastructure in early Yekaterinburg is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the literature contains only fragmentary information about the organization of medical services at state-owned factories in the Urals in the 1720s—1734s. It is noted that the main reason for this lies in the absence of a set of documents devoted to this topic, even at the level of one case, in their dispersion among voluminous cases with factory documentation. The efforts of the heads of the Ural factories V. N. Tatishchev and V. I. Gennin to hire a doctor from the center are revealed. Information about the construction of the first hospital in Yekaterinburg in 1723—1724 and 1727 is researched. Special attention is paid to the regulation of medical services for the population by the local administration and the implementation of Russian legislation in the field of medicine on the territory of the mining department in the Urals. The questions about the orderlies of the hospital, the organization of treatment of patients, their delivery to the hospital are considered; financing the work of the hospital, participation of the population and payment for food for the inpatients; keeping records of people in the hospital and money, spent on medical care. Special attention is paid to the methods of drug delivery to Yekaterinburg from St. Petersburg and Moscow, the preparation of medical students.

IntroductionAustralia has had some success at utilizing Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to disinvest and reassess medical services. This has been achieved through a range of methods including identifying services through initiatives such as ‘Choosing Wisely’, examining real world service data and seeking expert clinical opinion. This presentation will discuss how better international collaboration in disinvestment and reassessment methods using HTA could lead to more efficient health care systems.MethodsBoth the Australian and South Korean governments have a particular interest in disinvestment and reassessment in their health care systems. These countries have been sharing information over the past two years with a common goal of improving their health systems through a rigorous reassessment process. The Australian Government is in the process of reviewing all publicly funded services utilizing expert clinical committee advice, often referring the reassessment of services to a HTA process. A similar process is also being undertaken in South Korea.ResultsAustralia has disinvested in a wide range of services using HTA, including hip arthroscopy, lipectomy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It is also undertaking an extensive reassessment of 5,700 services. Reassessment may not lead to HTA, but it often includes an examination of whether a service should be subjected to HTA to remain publicly funded. Australia and South Korea have similar approaches in undertaking disinvestment and reassessment. HTA disinvestment and reassessment strategies have generated good outcomes for consumers, health care providers and funders in both countries.ConclusionsDisinvestment and reassessment of medical services require funders that support the continual improvement of health care systems. Disinvestment and reassessment HTA can be difficult, mainly due to external interests - an issue experienced by many countries. Further international collaboration in this area may provide a more supportive environment to undertake HTA for disinvestment.

The issues of improving the system of anti-crisis financial management in health care institutions of Ukraine are considered in the article taking onto account the strategic approach. The strategic approach gives a competitive advantage and the ability to develop measures to achieve goals in a competitive dynamic space. On the example of the Municipal non-profit Enterprise “Vinnytsia Central District Clinical Hospital” of Vinnytsia District Council, a SWOT analysis has been performed, which revealed the strengths and weaknesses of the medical institution, as well as opportunities and threats. Strengths are the focus on professionalism of staff, quality of management and medical services. Weaknesses are lack of funding, low autonomy in the ability to attract and dispose of funds, low staff remuneration. This, in turn, threatens staff turnover, reduces service delivery due to low solvency and high competition. Based on the results of the SWOT-analysis, the priorities of the institution’s development have been identified and strategic goals have been formulated. For example, improving the quality and expanding the list of medical services, increasing patient satisfaction, strengthening human resources, improving logistics of the medical institution, improving financial management. Specific measures have been developed to implement the goal of improving financial management. Additional sources of financing, formation of contractual relations with clear rules have been offered. The development strategy in 2021 will be largely determined by the further course of the pandemic and the dynamics of morbidity and the subsequent need to use the institution as an infectious disease hospital. All structural subdivisions of the institution are subject to constant development in order to be a leading, competitive, accessible hospital in the medical space and to provide a wide range of quality medical services aimed at improving the health of the population.
