Traditional subsistence socio-ecological systems (TSSESs) based on hunting, gathering and fishing are widely spread all-over the taiga zone of Siberia. Nowadays, they are strongly impacted by several drivers of change, coming from human activities and climate changes with cascading both positive and negative effects on all components of ecosystem functions and services. The effects may influence quality of life of indigenous people and human capacities. Key multi-scale issues and possible ways of their solution are identified in TSSESs of Evenkia municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk region based on scientific research and traditional local knowledge and perceptions integration. Among key issues the degradation of ecosystems heavily impacting local subsistence resources availability (fish and meat for food as well as wild animals’ skins for sale) is the most urgent for the indigenous people living on land. Several negative driving forces both socio-economic and natural such as widespread poaching, forest land auctions and increasing annual rent obligations for hunting grounds to the indigenous peoples, imposing limits (quarters) without taking into account real subsistence need of indigenous communities, non-compensated impact of spreading infrastructure and logging on taiga forest ecosystems and hunting grounds, as well as climate changes, are impacting quality of life and human capacities of indigenous people. This analysis of key issues and driving forces leading to them gives us opportunity to propose several ways of such issues solution. The improvement of control and management of TSSESs sustainability with active participation of indigenous people is the principle way for achieving TSSESs resilience and sustainability.

This article presents a systematic approach to identifying the cause of lower back pain, summarizes the indications for further workup and presents current evidence for the management of this condition.

The history and philosophy of primary health care (PHC) in Australia is strongly linked to achieving ?Health for All?. As can be seen from the range of papers in this edition of the Australian Journal of Primary Health, considerations of equity, participation and action to address the underlying causes of poor health drive many programs and research endeavours. We have reason to be proud of the energy, enthusiasm and innovation that is demonstrated in the work presented, and heartened that there is an ever-increasing body of work which demonstrates the effectiveness of a comprehensive PHC approach in improving health and quality of life.

Epilepsy affects patients of opposite gender differently, hence requires gender-specific approaches in both management and treatment of such patients. Reproductive health, sexual function and other symptomatic disorders of various organ systems ought to be of cen-ter-focus for doctors treating patients with epilepsy, especially considering the fact that, all these conditions can adversely affect the quality of life of these patients. A considerate amount of scientific interest is being devoted to epilepsy in separate genders, however, insufficient attention is given to the comparative analysis peculiarities in these patients in terms of impact on health, level of depression and anxiety, leading psychological defense mechanisms, satisfaction and overall quality of life of patients with epilepsy. When activity of component parameters are viewed separately, they may not reveal pathogenesis as a whole, thus can’t be used to assess patients’ condition. Complex of electrographic and clinical characteristics are considered as a semiotic system. Such combined analysis of both physiological as well as clinical factors allow biologically-based systematic assessment of syndrome formation and relationship establishment between human biological peculiarities and clinical characteristics of the disease based on gender. Systematic approach in the analysis of physical, psychological and social aspects of epilepsy in men and women will focus attention to gender based disease peculiarities optimize treatment, outpatient follow-up and overall improvement of quality of life of patients.
