The interior design of hospitals space takes an important role in improving well-being during medical stays. In Today in Ukraine, the development of medical institutions, and especially their interior spaces, is given insufficient attention, and they, with their outdated and unattractive appearance, can cause discomfort to most patients, employees and visitors. Based on this, the general objectives of the study were to analyze the practical experience of interior design of medical institutions and identify important aspects and features of interior design. The article examines the design features of health care facilities from the perspective of the patient, visitor and employee. Analysis of the practical experience of interior design in modern hospitals around the world has revealed the main trends in design solutions. Analyzing the different designs of medical facilities around the world, it was found that the architectural styles for healthcare buildings are extremely diverse. From small specialized hospitals to huge medical complexes that help thousands of patients every day, each facility uses a unique combination of design details. On the basis of this analysis the general approaches of design concerning their formation are revealed. Some of them are based on the orientation and comfortable movement of all subjects of the hospital. Others are based on the fact that the technicality and conciseness of the design - a guarantee of quality medical care. Another approach when the design is based on natural integration and environmental friendliness, which creates a comfortable feeling in the hospital. Based on this, important aspects of the design of medical institutions were identified, including: aesthetic, environmental, functional, psychological and practical aspects. The main features of the interior of medical institutions are identified, which include the following important design elements: noise background, aesthetic and compositional solutions, lighting (natural, artificial), natural communication, ergonomics, comfortable workplaces, accents, visual landmarks. This article defines that the interior design of medical institutions is a set of measures to ensure the proper level of hospitals, which will significantly improve the well-being of patients, optimize the work of employees and create a comfortable environment for all subjects of these institutions.

Important Design

Interior spaces have a great effect on human well-being because of their role as the follower of life. Flexibility becomes an important design issue while considering the subjective character of well-being in interiors. Therefore, not only the inhabitants' needs change during their lifetime, but especially interiors with multiple or changing users need to be considered with a design approach that can lead to multiple solutions that can be adapted to changing users and preferences. This chapter aims to evaluate a series of design approaches that are particularly attentive to a holistic conception of human well-being and that can be adopted with particular reference to interior design. Here it is not intended to identify a general hierarchy of such approaches, as their appropriateness depends on the context, on the user and on the interpretation of the designer himself. Therefore, it is important to know the potentials of different approaches in solving design problems with different priorities.

Design is the innate nature of human beings since the inception of mankind. The very act of designing a product gives one a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. The journey of the design started from its very roots in the creative instincts of the people who actually used their creative approach to create safe habitats and products for their survival. Starting from The tools to secure them from any wildlife and then it extends from the matter of survival to the matter of comfort. People started designing or making comfortable beds, safe and secure homes. And later now longing for better experiences at home or anywhere they go. Thus, Designing Interior spaces comes from the very deep rooted instinct of people to make their surroundings more comfortable and secure. But, practicing interior design in the world which is constantly changing and evolving with springing new issues and challenges to tackle is a tough job.

Abstract Through an interdisciplinary contribution, the authors intend to propose an updated framework of the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic on the African continent and some critical reflections on various geopolitical and geo-anthropological aspects concerning the new vulnerabilities associated with the pandemic crisis in Africa and the importance of culture and its effects on well-being and health. The pandemic seems to have hit the African continent much less severely than the rest of the world, with a mortality index (2,4%) lower than the global one (3,5%). The spread of the virus in this geographical area is largely underestimated because health care facilities do not have the tracking power that rich countries have, several factors show how Africa is managing to counter the impact of the pandemic. One reason could be the intervention of the immune capacity of a population exposed in the recent past to numerous other infections that could have stimulated greater protection, both in terms of innate and acquired immunity. The dispersion of the rural population, which represents the majority of the African population (43%), could act as a geographical barrier to the virus. It is a complex picture where there are feelings of distrust between the institutions and the population on the management of the pandemic and the circulation of an excessive amount of data that creates confusion. In the African context, the need to understand the relationship between culture and health becomes fundamental. If the role of cultural values is underestimated, the positive potential of culture as a critical element for maintaining and improving health is negated. According to the World Health Organization, traditional medicine is the cornerstone of health care or its complement in the countries where community membership is most deeply rooted. In Africa, the World Health Organisation estimates that 85% of the population uses it because it is more widespread and accessible than traditional healing systems. Only one form of contagion travels faster than a virus. And that’s fear. Dan Brown

Pneumonia is one of the most dangerous and severe diseases affecting lung tissue and characterized by a fairly high mortality rate. Recently, there has been a tendency towards a more severe course of pneumonia, which is associated with the development of high resistance to antibiotic therapy. Pneumonia poses the greatest danger to young children; every year around the world, about a million babies under the age of 5 die from this disease, which is 15 % of the total mortality of children at this age. Due to the high relevance of the issue, the Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia initiated the allocation of a special day of the year to draw attention to this issue of government officials and health care professionals; and as a result, it was decided to celebrate the day of the fight against pneumonia on November 12 every year. On this day, medical institutions around the world organize preventive events and conduct medical examinations, round tables and thematic seminars are held, the purpose of which is to exchange practical experience in combating this dangerous ailment.

The aim of this research was the reconstruction of the system of categories through which Russians perceive the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe, and the world as a whole; to study the implicit model of the geopolitical space; to analyze the stereotypes in the perception of different countries and the superposition of mental geopolitical representations onto the geographic map. The techniques of psychosemantics by Petrenko, originating in the semantic differential of Osgood and Kelly's “repertory grids,” were used as working tools. Multidimensional semantic spaces act as operational models of the structures of consciousness, and the positions of countries in multidimensional space reflect the geopolitical stereotypes of respondents about these countries. Because of the transformation of geopolitical reality representations in mass consciousness, the commonly used classification of countries as socialist, capitalist, and developing is being replaced by other structures. Four invariant factors of the countries' descriptions were identified. They are connected with Economic and Political Well-being, Military Might, Friendliness toward Russia, and Spirituality and the Level of Culture. It seems that the structure has not been explained in adequate detail and is not clearly realized by the individuals. There is an interrelationship between the democratic political structure of a country and its prosperity in the political mentality of Russian respondents. Russian public consciousness painfully strives for a new geopolitical identity and place in the commonwealth of states. It also signifies the country's interest and orientation toward the East in the search for geopolitical partners. The construct system of geopolitical perception also depends on the region of perception.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "

In the two decades since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect, Mexico has seen an epidemic of diet-related illness. While globalization has been associated with an increase in chronic disease around the world, in Mexico, the speed and scope of the rise has been called a public health emergency. The shift in Mexican foodways is happening at a moment when the country’s ancestral cuisine is now more popular and appreciated around the world than ever. What does it mean for their health and well-being when many Mexicans eat fewer tortillas and more instant noodles, while global elites demand tacos made with handmade corn tortillas? This book examines the transformation of the Mexican food system since NAFTA and how it has made it harder for people to eat as they once did. The book contextualizes NAFTA within Mexico’s approach to economic development since the Revolution, noticing the role envisioned for rural and low-income people in the path to modernization. Examination of anti-poverty and public health policies in Mexico reveal how it has become easier for people to consume processed foods and beverages, even when to do so can be harmful to health. The book critiques Mexico’s strategy for addressing the public health crisis generated by rising rates of chronic disease for blaming the dietary habits of those whose lives have been upended by the economic and political shifts of NAFTA.
