Objectives – to analyze the incidence and structure of morbidity with temporary disability among the working population of the Samara region in the period of 2013–2018. Material and methods.The assessment of the temporary disability was carried out according to the scale " Estimation of morbidity with temporary disability (MTD) rate according to E.L. Notkin", which estimates the "proportion of sick persons" in the total number of working people. Results.The rate of the morbidity with temporary disability was assessed in terms of quality, including the data on the variations of frequency and duration of temporary disability during the study period. Conclusion.The analysis of the incidence rate with temporary disability allows to develop a set of measures for its prevention and reduction, not only in an individual area, but in the whole territory.

Abstract Background Prevention is an important instrument for public health improvement and maintaining workability of active age people. National Health Insurance Fund of Bulgaria (NHIF) finances an annual regular check-up for people over 18 years of age. In addition, working people have access to preventive activities at their workplace. The aim of the study is to explore an actual regularity of preventive activities at active population in Bulgaria. Materials and Methods Data were collected by documents review and direct individual self-administered questionnaire, within a larger research project on health of active population in Bulgaria. It includes 326 employees in a study representing different branches, companies and professions. The questionnaire consists of questions about: a) distribution of risk factors, b) knowledge and attitude to prevention as a tool for better health c) types and regularity of preventive activities. Data processing was performed by SPSS v.24. Results Three of four respondents have been diagnosed with chronic disease, 49.4% of them suffer from more than one disease. One third of observed people take more than one medicine. Despite NHIF offers free of charge and obligatory annual check-ups, only 46% of study subjects have undergone a preventive examination within the last year, 49.7% - between 2 and 5 years and 4.3% have done so more than 5 years ago or never, which decrease the effectiveness of preventive measures. Visiting regular check-ups is significantly lower for younger age groups (below 44 years; p < 0.05). Relatively large part of people measured blood pressure (88.5%), blood glucose (67%) and blood cholesterol (51.5%) during the last year in relation to any symptoms, but not within the regular check-up. Conclusions Study results confirm the current tendency for low coverage of annual check-ups of working population in Bulgaria. Potential of preventive activities is not rationally used because recommended regularity is not observed. Key messages Phenomena as polymorbidity and polypragmasia are widely distributed in Bulgarian active population. Potential of preventive activities is not fully used because recommended regularity is not observed. Despite Bulgarian NHIF finances obligatory annual check-up for people aged over 18 years, most people become subjects of medical examination in case of disease symptoms, rather than regular check-ups.

Virtuous Life

Abstract It has often been argued, in scholarly debate, that Aristotle’s denial of citizenship to the working population of his ideal city in Book VII of the Politics constitutes a fundamental injustice. According to this view, although it is true that their way of life prevents them from living a morally virtuous life, it does not follow that the working people are naturally devoid of the human qualities required for such a life. So, rather than finding a just way to distribute citizenship among the diversity a city’s population would naturally exhibit (as he does, to a certain extent, in Book III), Aristotle would commit himself to oligarchic measures in Book VII. In this article, it is argued that the main concern of Book VII is less with a just determination of the extent of citizenship (unlike Book III) than with conceiving the most efficient way for a city to be happy: this consists in establishing a community composed of individuals who lay claim to happiness in the same way and to the same degree. In other words, it consists in reducing the diversity of Book III to a certain kind of homogeneity.

The article presents data on morbidity with temporary loss of work capacity (MTLWC) among working population in the whole of the Russian Federation and federal districts throughout the period from 2005 to 2014. According to official statistics, common number of losses of working days is shown to decline with a rate of about 1.1-1.3% per year mainly due to a reduction in the number of cases of diseases. The Urals and Privolzhsky Federal Districts are characterized by highest rates both of the incidence rate and the number of days of MTLWC. For the example, the Perm Krai (Privolzhsky Federal District) as a region with a typical MTLWC structure was shown to represent greatest losses of working days in the age groups of 25-29 and 50-54 years of workers of both genders. The consistent high incidence rate of injuries, poisoning and other effects of external influences in working men under the age of 24 years is of particular concern. The situation testifies the need to create targeted programs to prevent diseases in young workers, who in subsequent years will form the bulk of the country’s productive forces. At the regional level MTLWC is established to account for an annual loss of about 1.3-1.5% of the gross regional product. The adoption of effective managerial decisions to reduce MTLWC is shown to allow solve not only medical and demographic, but also economic problems in certain regions and the country as a whole.

Aim. To assess the prevalence of major risk factors (RFs) of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a young working population.Material and methods. This cross-sectional study included 1832 respondents (70% men and 30% women; mean age 29,44±8,6 years). The levels of blood pressure (BP), total cholesterol (TCH), and body mass index (BMI), as well as the prevalence of smoking, were assessed.Results. Elevated office BP levels were registered in 10,5%, and isolated ambulatory arterial hypertension (AH) in 10%. Overall, AH prevalence in this young working population was 20%. Elevated BP was registered in 34,2% of individuals with hypercholesterolemia (TCH >5 mmol/l), compared to 18,2% in people with TCH <5 mmol/l (p<0,001).Conclusion. The most prevalent CVD RFs in working people under 40 were obesity and AH.

The relevance of the study is due to the insufficient coverage in modern historical literature of a number of those aspects of the activities of the parties of democratic socialism, which relate to the nature of the interaction of these parties with the subject of their political interest and social concern — the working masses of the city and, in particular, the countryside. Perhaps this issue is not so large as to claim the title of ‘fundamental’ — it is not directly related to the ideological struggle in the party elites, but it does illustrate the work processes that were going on within the Narodnik parties at all levels — from theoretical leaders to activists of grassroots organizations. The Narodnik movement at the beginning of the twentieth century was represented by the parties of the Socialist Revolutionaries (an association — 1901–1902, organizational design — the end of 1905) and people’s socialists (idea of creation — 1905, organizational design — 1906). It considers the mechanism by which the Narodnik parties at the beginning of the twentieth century determine their ‘target audience’ —the working population, which includes workers, the labor peasantry, and the labor intelligentsia. The motivation of such a choice is revealed, its justice is evaluated. The basic communication methods of working with the working population used by neonarodniks in their socio–political practice are analyzed, and the attitude to this type of activity of the Bolsheviks, Socialist–Revolutionaries and people’s socialists is compared. The political–pragmatic and human attitude of neo-Narodniks to the ‘working people’ as an object of ideological influence is shown, the measures carried out by the Narodnik parties for the purpose of civic education, the development of legal consciousness and human dignity of the poorest working people of Russia are analyzed.

Distributional Impact

AbstractThe large and generous income transfer system in the Netherlands has caused increasing tax burdens and deficits in a period of sluggish economic growth. Confronted with this situation, the present Dutch government is trying to cut back the scope of the system substantially by reducing benefit levels. The distributional impact of this policy is simulated on a micro data set. It is found that the effects of the transfer cuts on overall income distribution are not very large: from 1983 to 1986, inequality as measured by the Gini or the Theil index increases by 3 per cent. However, inequality between working and non-working people as measured by the Theil index between groups is simulated to increase by as much as 50 per cent. On the other hand, people can be hypothesized to increase their work effort when benefit levels are lowered. Using a behavioural model, it is estimated that from 1983 to 1986 the working population might increase, ceteris paribus, by 0.5 per cent yearly as a consequence of the transfer cuts. This would imply second-round distributional effects mitigating the increase in overall inequality by one-third.

Multimorbidity is defined as the coexistence of multiple chronic conditions in one person. It affects the way people lead their lives and might be a heavy burden, especially for those with limited material resources. This study explores the prevalence of multimorbidity in the working population and discusses the distribution of multimorbidity in specific sub-groups. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of nationally representative data in South Korea (Korea Health Panel, 2010–2015). Generalized estimation models were applied to examine the individual effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and job-related variables. We found that about five percent of workers who initially had no or one chronic condition developed multimorbidity during within five years. About 20% of working women had multimorbidity at age 55, about 10 years earlier than working men. A higher prevalence appeared in working women with school-age children, non-standard employment, no autonomy at work, or unskilled occupation. SES was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of multimorbidity in both gender after controlling for the effect of age and other covariates. Multimorbidity is a major health concern in the working population and prevention and control should be promoted in the workplace.

The authors studied the extent of chronic diseses and of pathological conditions in the working people in on district of the Leningrad region using the data of prophylactic examination. The analysis showed that practically all people (90.4 % of the examined people) had chronic diseases: 26.3 % of the people had one pathology, 29.6 % had two diseases, and 34.5 % of the people had three and more pathologies. The women were more vulnarable than the men to three and more pathologies (40.2 % and 22.2 % of the cases respectively. The data obtained should be the basis for planning of the scope of preventive, curative and diagnostic measures for the working population.

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.
