The article presents the results of a comparative environmental assessment of the quality of the environment in the central and outlying zones of two forest parks, contrasting in area, types and magnitude of anthropogenic load, - the Experimental Forest Station and the Dubki Culture and Recreation Park, located in the Timiryazevsky district of Moscow. The quality of the environment in the undisturbed forest biocenosis in the center of the Experimental Forest Station corresponded to the quality of the environment in the rural areas of the Moscow Region, while the environmental situation in the outlying zones of both forest parks bordering various urban infrastructure facilities deviated to varying degrees from the conditional norm. The worst indicators of the environmental quality and forest stand conditions were noted in the recreational zones located at the III-IV stage of digression, as well as in the zones bordering the roads, within which the degree of fluctuating asymmetry of birch leaves was suspended and the cellulolytic activity of the soil was 1.5-2.5 times lower than the background. The combination of recreational and transport loads reduced the quality of the environment in the Dubki park to a critical level.

Abstract Background: Nanjing Zijinshan National Forest Park is a 5A level scenic spot approved by the Chinese government and a world-famous tourist attraction. Due to the decrease of forest coverage and the environmental pollution caused by the large scale of tourism, the requirements of landscape quality evaluation of urban forest parks are put forward. Results: In order to explore assessment methods of landscape quality (LQ) of Urban Forest Park, based on the literature review and current situation analysis, this paper selected 26 assessment indexes of five categories to construct the index system of comprehensive landscape quality assessment of urban forest parks. In view of requirements of landscape quality assessment of urban forest parks, niche suitability model (NSM) was introduced. On the basis of analysis and improvement, spatial niche suitability model (SNSM) was constructed combining absolute niche suitability model and relative niche suitability model by using weighted average method. Then, the application test of SNSM was carried out taking Nanjing Zijinshan National Forest Park as the research target. Conclusions: The assessment results show that the landscape quality of Nanjing Zijinshan National Forest Park showed a slow upward trend from 2000 to 2018, and was at the lower middle level in 5A scenic area; at the same time, due to buildings increasing and environmental pollution, forest landscape quality showed a slow downward trend. The assessment results of spatial niche suitability model are in line with the actual situation of landscape quality of Nanjing Zijinshan National Forest Park, and provide an effective quantitative analysis method for urban forest parks to strengthen landscape quality management and prevent landscape quality risks.

O artigo analisa o direito à moradia rural em pequenos municípios paraenses (Abaetetuba, Santa Izabel do Pará e Soure), por meio do Programa Nacional de Habitação Rural (PNHR), considerando aspectos socioeconômicos das famílias. A pesquisa é orientada pelo materialismo histórico e dialético, realizando levantamento bibliográfico, documental e de campo, com formulários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados mostram que o PNHR oferece o acesso à nova casa; o sentimento de segurança; a existência de banheiro interno; os serviços de saúde e de educação. Por outro lado, as famílias relatam problemas de infraestrutura da casa e do entorno, além da dificuldade de pagamento da mensalidade. Conclui que o PNHR desconsidera as particularidades regionais, como a necessidade de compartimentos amplos de cozinha e pátio, com vistas à preservação da sociabilidade do modo de vida rural amazônico.NATIONAL RURAL HOUSING PROGRAM AND HOUSING CONDITIONS IN SMALL CITIES IN THE AMAZONAbstractThe article analyzes the right to housing in rural areas of small cities in Pará, Brazil (Abaetetuba, Santa Izabel do Pará and Soure), considering the socioeconomic characteristics of the beneficiaries of the National Rural Housing Program (PNHR). It draws upon the historical dialectical materialism and relies on bibliographic, documentary, and field surveys, when the authors conducted interviews. Data suggests the access to the new house, the feeling of security, the inside bathroom, the presence health and education services are positive aspects of the PNHR. Moreover, the downsides are the lack of urban infrastructure, poor quality of house construction, and difficulties in affording the monthly fee. It concludes the PNHR disregards regional particularities as the need for large kitchen and patio compartments, in order to preserve the sociability of the Amazonian rural way of life.Keywords: Rural housing in Pará.

The Relationship

The article discusses a non-standard view of the formation of human capital for work in organizations of the agricultural sector of the economy, in the context of modern socio-economic transformations. In the classical sense, human capital for agriculture should be formed and developed in rural areas. But in real life, this is not always the case, because there are many factors that prevent the classical solution of this problem. First, the demographic factor affects, second, social and household factors, and third, in many rural areas there are no working agricultural organizations where qualified agricultural specialists can work. All these and other circumstances actualize the problem of the quality of human capital in rural areas in relation to the development of agricultural production.

Digital libraries, designed to serve people and their information needs in the same way as traditional libraries, present distinct advantages over brick and mortar facilities: elimination of physical boundaries, round-the-clock access to information, multiple access points, networking abilities, and extended search functions. As a result, they should be especially well-suited for the disables. However, minorities, those affected by lower income and education status, persons living in rural areas, the physically challanged, and developing countries as a whole consistently suffer from a lack of accessibility to digital libraries. This paper evaluates the effectiveness and relevance of digital libraries currently in place and discusses what could and should be done to improve accessibility to digital libraries for under-graduate students.

Objectives: Population-level data are lacking for urinary incontinence (UI) in Central and Eastern European countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence, bother, and behavior regarding treatment for UI in a population-representative group of Polish adults aged ≥ 40 years. Methods: Data for this epidemiological study were derived from the larger LUTS POLAND project, in which a group of adults that typified the Polish population were surveyed, by telephone, about lower urinary tract symptoms. Respondents were classified by age, sex, and place of residence. UI was assessed with a standard protocol and established International Continence Society definitions. Results: The LUTS POLAND survey included 6005 completed interviews. The prevalence of UI was 14.6–25.4%; women reported a greater occurrence compared with men (p < 0.001). For both sexes, UI prevalence increased with age. Stress UI was the most common type of UI in women, and urgency UI was the most prevalent in men. We did not find a difference in prevalence between urban and rural areas. Individuals were greatly bothered by UI. For women, mixed UI was the most bothersome, whereas for men, leak for no reason was most annoying. More than half of respondents (51.4–62.3%) who reported UI expressed anxiety about the effect of UI on their quality of life. Nevertheless, only around one third (29.2–38.1%) of respondents with UI sought treatment, most of whom received treatment. Persons from urban and rural areas did not differ in the degrees of treatment seeking and treatment receiving. Conclusion: Urinary incontinence was prevalent and greatly bothersome among Polish adults aged ≥ 40 years. Consequently, UI had detrimental effects on quality of life. Nonetheless, most affected persons did not seek treatment. Therefore, we need to increase population awareness in Poland about UI and available treatment methods, and we need to ensure adequate allocation of government and healthcare system resources.
