Relevance. The study of the relationship between the dental morbidity of children in the city of Makhachkala from the anthropogenic impact of a landfill.Materials and methods. The study was based on a survey of children aged 2 to 17 years in three kindergartens and two schools in the city of Makhachkala in the zone of ecological distress. A total of – 420 children were examined, including – 85 of the temporary bite period; – 110 of the replacement bite period and 225 of the permanent bite period. The criteria for the selection of children were the duration of residence in this neighborhood and the presence of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th health groups. The dental examination included an assessment of the condition of the oral cavity, hard tooth tissues and periodontal tissues using a set of dental instruments according to a generally accepted technique.Results. Studies on the relationship of poor-quality drinking water with a reduced content of fluoride and the prevalence of non-carious lesions of the hard tissues of the teeth revealed that in the city of Makhachkala, a high prevalence of molarincisive enamel hypoplasia was detected in 45.4% of the examined and a multiple form in 31.6%% of systemic hypoplasia, local hypoplasia was noted in 22.1%, segmental hypoplasia was observed in only 4 children from 335 examined. The prevalence of diseases of the oral mucosa is due to a decrease in immunity in an environmentally unfavorable city, due to the unbalanced composition of macro and microelements in drinking water, high content of sulfur oxides, carbon and dioxin-like compounds in the air. The prevalence and development of caries was noted in 75% of the examined children.Conclusions. The high morbidity rate of the children's population in Makhachkala is associated with the anthropogenic impact of solid household waste, poor-quality drinking water, air and indicates the need to develop modern waste disposal technologies and implement recommendations for the organization of preventive and medical-dental care for children from an early age.

ABSTRACT  Diarrhea is a major health problem in Indonesia with high morbidity and mortality rates. Unhealthy environment and unhygienic behavior are closely related to diarrhea disease. This study aims to identify the association between environmental conditions and behavior with the occurrence of diarrhea in Jawa and Bali. Data source used was the integration data of March’s Susenas and Riskesdas 2018. A logistic regression analysis was chosen to elicit the relationship between sanitation and drinking water facilities, open defecation practice, and other factors with the prevalence of diarrhea. The results showed that open defecation (OR = 1.2; 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.29; P<0.001, and improper of household sanitation and drinking water (OR = 1.11; 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.2; P = 0.003) had significant association with diarrhea. Other factors are age 0-5 years (OR = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.46 to 1.66; P <0,001) and low education (OR = 1.33; 95% CI: 1.21 to 1.47; P <0,001). This study shows the hygienic behavior is the essential factors to reduce the incidence of diarrhea. Therefore, it is recommended to to prioritize aspects of behavior and environmental health, namely changing people’s behavior to defecate in a latrine, and provide proper sanitation and sufficient drinking water. Keywords: Diarrhea; sanitation; drinking water; open defecation   ABSTRAK Penyakit diare merupakan masalah kesehatan utama di Indonesia dengan angka kesakitan dan kematian yang masih tinggi. Lingkungan yang tidak sehat dan perilaku tidak higienis sangat erat kaitannya dengan penyakit diare.

Abstract Actinomycetes can produce significant amounts of the earthy-muddy odour compounds geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB). These filamentous bacteria are found in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, and are particularly abundant in soil. They can enter freshwater systems via terrestrial runoff and subsequently cause taste and odour outbreaks in drinking water. Since it is well known that actinomycete growth and odour production is modified strongly by environmental factors such as moisture and nutrient levels, we hypothesized that watershed and stream characteristics should influence the potential odour impact of soil runoff on surface water. In this study, 1) the relationship between actinomycete abundance and characteristics such as stream discharge, turbidity and Escherichia coli levels was investigated, and 2) actinomycetes from contrasting terrestrial sources were examined for differences in their geosmin and MIB production. Actinomycetes and stream characteristics were sampled from the Elbow River, an important drinking water source for the City of Calgary (Alberta, Canada), and three tributary streams. Actinomycetes from forested regions and agricultural land were tested for taste and odour compound production. Actinomycete levels in streams were found to correlate closely with E. coli levels and to a lesser extent with turbidity, suggesting that actinomycetes are particularly abundant in runoff from terrestrial sources with fecal contamination. Most of the 18 actinomycete isolates tested were able to produce geosmin and/or MIB regardless of their terrestrial sources, suggesting that taste and odour outbreaks due to actinomycetes may be more influenced by differences in abundance than differences in source.

A percepção ambiental surgiu como meio de identificar a relação entre os indivíduos e o meio ambiente, buscando verificar as formas como as pessoas percebem o meio ambiente. Dessa forma, o presente estudo visou identificar aspectos relacionados à percepção ambiental de corpos d’água das cidades de Palmeirais-PI e Beneditinos-PI, com o intuito de discutir sobre a frequência, ações de preservação, qualidade da água do rio Parnaíba e do açude Taboquinha, respectivamente. Sendo assim, a pesquisa foi realizada com estudantes de uma escola do município de Palmeirais-PI e cidadãos do município de Beneditinos-PI. Para tal pesquisa, utilizou-se como instrumento de coleta de dados, em ambas as cidades, um questionário estruturado. Diante desse pressuposto, os resultados mostraram que, embora a maioria dos alunos conheçam o rio Parnaíba, desconhecem a ocorrência de ações de prevenção da poluição das águas fomentadas pela escola. Além disso, para os alunos, as atividades de passeio e recreação são as que mais lhes sugerem a utilidade das águas do rio Parnaíba, enquanto uso educativo é quase inexistente. Nesse sentido, observou-se o distanciamento desses alunos de parte de sua realidade local. No que diz respeito aos resultados obtidos com frequentadores do açude Taboquinha, na cidade de Beneditinos-PI, verificou-se a ausência de ações de preservação ambiental, haja vista que os moradores mencionam a má qualidade da água. Assim, concluiu-se que há necessidade de se implantar políticas públicas de conscientização dos frequentadores do açude, a fim de preservar o meio ambiente e ainda assim manter o turismo local. Palavras-chave: Rio Parnaíba. Açude Taboquinha. Percepção ambiental. Educação ambiental.   Environmental perception study: different perspectives about water bodies in municipalities in Northeast Brazil Abstract Environmental perception emerged as a means of identifying the relationship between individuals and the environment, seeking to verify the ways in which people perceive the environment. It is also a way to verify the forms as people perceive the environment. This study aims to identify aspects related to the environmental perception of water bodies in the cities of Palmeirais-PI and Beneditinos-PI, in order to discuss the frequency, preservation actions, water quality of the Parnaíba river and the Taboquinha reservoir, respectively. Therefore, the research was carried out with students from a school in the city of Palmeirais-PI and citizens of the city of Beneditinos-PI. For such research, a structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument in both cities. Given this assumption, the results showed that, although most students know the Parnaíba River, they are unaware of the occurrence of water pollution prevention actions promoted by the school. In addition, for students, walking and recreation activities are the ones that most suggest the utility of the waters of the Parnaíba River, while educational use is almost non-existent. In this sense, it is observed that these students are distant from part of their local reality. With regard to the results obtained with users of the Taboquinha reservoir, in the city of Beneditinos-PI, there was an absence of environmental preservation actions, given that the residents mention the poor quality of the water. Thus, it was concluded that there is a need to implement public policies to raise awareness among the weir visitors, in order to preserve the environment and still maintain local tourism.

Water is considered a finite natural resource and one of the essential elements of life. It is used in various work activities such as agriculture, industry, livestock, public supply, energy generation, among others [15]. According to SPERLING (2006) [38], only 2.493% of the water on the planet is suitable for the consumption of humans and animals and 0.0007% of the water accessible for consumption is present in the atmosphere, rivers and lakes. It is estimated that more than one billion people worldwide do not have access to treated water, as its supply is not made on an equal basis due to population growth, economic activities and uneven distribution contrasted with different populations. between rural and urban areas [3, 21,33,]. Problems related to water shortages in the metropolitan regions of Brazilian states are increasingly present in everyday life, and can be attributed to factors involving administrative processes, such as the high cost of drinking water treatment, pollution of water tables, increased demand for water. consumption and climatic factors. In this sense, the use of water for poor quality consumption is an alternative for regions experiencing shortages and has a direct impact on the health of individuals, especially workers and students, as about 80% of the infectious and parasitic diseases that affect developing countries are due to poor quality water, directly impacting the individual’s health [10,17,18,28,36,37]. The water potability standards in Brazil are described in Ordinance GM / MS No. 2,914, of December 12, 2011, which portrays the main physical-chemical and microbiological quality control processes aimed at ensuring water safety and quality. for human consumption [5-8,42].In relation to water-borne infectious-parasitic diseases, their main route of transmission is via the oro-fecal route, that is, ingestion of water contaminated by excreta in drinks or food. According to PEIL et al (2015) [29], the main diseases resulting from contaminated water are typhoid fever, cholera, leptospirosis, giardiasis, enterobacteriosis, among others. In 2015, this type of disease was responsible for 2.35% of hospital admissions in Brazil, generating expenses for the Unified Health System (SUS) [28]. Among the diseases that affect individuals in the school phase, childhood diarrhea stands out for being responsible for hospitalizations and if left untreated, it can evolve to death. Childhood diarrhea is a serious public health problem in developing countries, such as Brazil, and is related to the lack of basic sanitation, ingestion of contaminated water and the precariousness of health services [35,40]. Vidal et al (2016) [43] comment that 88% of diarrhea cases are attributed to the consumption of contaminated water and children under five years of age are the most affected. The city of Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, has a large number of individuals in school, about 248,408 students are enrolled in the public school system. As a result, it is important to monitor and monitor the water used for consumption in schools. This work proposes to carry out microbiological analysis and pH determination of water for consumption in public schools located in the city of Recife/PE supplied by Pernambuco Sanitation Company (COMPESA).

The possible consequences of drying up of the most water - bearing tributary of the Chernaya river in the area of the villages of Ternovka and Chernorechya-the Ai-Todorka river due to construction in the valley are considered. One of the main consequences is the depletion of fresh water reserves in the valley of the riverbeds, of which one has already been completely lost, and the second has been significantly changed. As a result, about 3,000 people may lose access to drinking water. The solution to this problem is complicated by the violation of the river's water protection regime - the Ai-Todorka river protection zone (100 meters) is located on a private territory, which does not correspond to the Federal law on the borders of the coastal water protection zone. This issue is currently under consideration by the Prosecutor's office and the Main Department of natural resources and ecology of the city of Sevastopol (Sevprirodnadzor).

This article discusses the struggles of urban social movements for a de-neoliberalisation of housing policies in Poulantzian terms as a “condensation of the relationship of forces”. Drawing on an empirical analysis of the “Berliner Mietenvolksentscheid” (Berlin rent referendum), which was partially successful in forcing the city government of Berlin to adopt a more progressive housing policy, the article argues that urban social movements have the capacity to challenge neoliberal housing regimes. However, the specific materiality of the state apparatus and its strategic selectivity both limit the scope of intervention for social movements aiming at empowerment and non-hierarchical decision-making.
