New digital technologies now allow contactless payments to be made both at retail outlets and at a great distance from them. Until recently, such features were only a new tool to provide convenience to customers. Now, with the COVID-19 pandemic, cashless payments have become a necessity all over the world. At the same time, there are objective obstacles to a complete transition to cashless payments. The article analyzes the barriers to the transition to a cashless society exemplified by the EU countries, and assesses the development of cashless payments in Russia. The main obstacles are security in making payments and the isolation of certain population groups from the economic and social life of society. Security issues concern not only the prevention of money theft, but also the prevention of failures in electronic payment systems. People who do not have bank accounts or do not know how to use electronic payment instruments may find themselves in economic and social isolation. This could clearly be seen during the pandemic, when the elderly needed the help of volunteers to purchase goods because they could not use the services of online stores. The article identifies trends in the development of non-cash payments in the EU and Russia, including the circumstances associated with COVID-19. The development of cashless payments depends on economic stability, and one can expect a decrease in consumer activity in the sphere of using non-cash banking services in Russia and other countries due to the world economic crisis in 2020.

RESUMOConsiderando o aumento no consumo de medicamentos de maneira global, sendo o Brasil um dos dez principais mercados farmacêuticos, e ao aumento da população idosa, seu principal usuário, torna-se importante conhecer os aspectos da interface de suas embalagens, bem como entender o processo de envelhecimento e habilidades e dificuldades no manuseio por seus públicos diversos. Muitas embalagens apresentam inúmeros problemas, desde baixa legibilidade a questões relacionadas à segurança, o que é agravado quando são utilizadas por idosos ou pessoas com baixa destreza manual ou ainda com problemas de saúde. Inserida nesta problemática, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo gerar subsídios para regulamentação da ergonomia de embalagens na indústria de medicamentos e, para tanto, foram necessárias investigações, teóricas e de mercado, visando entender os aspectos da interface destes produtos com seus usuários. Desse modo, inicialmente é apresentada uma revisão da literatura, que inclui habilidades e dificuldades na manipulação de produtos por usuários diversos, além de elementos indispensáveis para configuração de embalagens para medicamentos, como interface com materiais estruturais, normas, leis e regulamentos específicos. Para confirmar a hipótese de que há problemas de interface, são apresentadas as metodologias e resultados analisados e discutidos das abordagens com os usuários, bem como da avaliação de usabilidade desenvolvida. A partir dos dados analisados e discutidos com base na literatura, foi possível expor parâmetros para futuros desenvolvimentos de novas embalagens, dentre elas, a ampola, a bisnaga, o flaconete, o frasco conta-gotas, o frasco para xarope, o frasco para comprimidos, embalagem secundária entre outras.Palavras-chave: design; embalagens de medicamentos; design ergonômico; usabilidade de embalagens.    ABSTRACTConsidering the increase in the consumption of medicines in the world, being the Brazil one of the top ten pharmaceutical markets, and the increase in the elderly population, it is important to know the interface aspects of these packages, as well as understand the aging process, skills, and difficulties in handling of their target. There are many of these packages, and many have several problems, from low readability, security issues, which is exacerbated when they are used by the elderly or people with poor manual dexterity or with health problems. This research aims to generate parameters for regulation and practical application in the packaging industry of medicines and, therefore, were required several theoretical and market research, to understand the interface aspects of these products with their users. Thereby, initially it’s presents a comprehensive review of the literature, which includes skills and difficulties in handling products for different users, as well as indispensable elements for setting the packaging for medicines, as medicines with interface structural materials, standards, laws and regulations dealing with medicines. To confirm the hypothesis that there are problems at the interface of these packages, the methodologies and the results analyzed and discussed the approaches with users, as well as the usability evaluation. After all the data analyzed and discussed in the literature, it was possible to set parameters for the development of new packaging, among them, the ampoule, the tube of ointment, the dropper, bottles for syrup and bottles for pills and the secondary packaging.Keywords: design, packaging of medicinal products; ergonomic design; usability of packaging.

The paper addresses FAO’s main principles and strategy for responding to emergency and crises situations in the field of food security and agriculture. The organization carries out measures for early warning and forecasting of natural disasters and conflicts, which can seriously complicate food security in crisis areas of the world. Active work is carried out to forecast emergencies, as well as to assess risks for individual countries. Particular attention is paid to the new EU strategy to strengthen the “resilience” of vulnerable states and societies under the pressure of humanitarian, climatic and military crises. The partnership between FAO and the EU is based on the integration of conceptual approaches to emergency assistance. Emphasis is placed on early forecasting of crisis situations and helping to restore the socio-economic potential of affected countries and their further development. Such interaction is based on the exchange of data and the exchange of technical tools, as well as on financing mechanisms for emergency assistance. FAO is a politically neutral international organization with a number of comparative advantages. The EU uses partnership with it as an effective tool not only for providing emergency assistance and development assistance, but also for indirectly projecting its interests in various regions of the world.
