Appeal For Aid Research Articles

Soviet Aid in the Development of Secondary Education in Tanzania in 1960s–1980s

Based on the documents of the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the article examines the issue of Soviet aid to Tanzania in the field of secondary education from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. The bilateral relations between the USSR and Tanzania in the field of education were chosen as the research topic due to the growing relevance of studies of Russian-African relations in all fields, on the one hand, and to the insufficient study in Russian and global historiography, on the other hand. The analysis of Soviet aid to Tanzania is preceded by an overview of the reasons why the Tanzanian leadership made such a request. The principal reasons for the appeal for aid were the lack of local specialists in the field of education and the leftist orientation of the Tanzanian government. After lengthy negotiations, the USSR and Tanzania agreed to sign a contract in 1969 to send Soviet teachers to work in Tanzanian secondary schools. Under the agreement, the USSR provided Tanzanian secondary schools and colleges with teaching equipment and materials and offered financial and technical assistance to Tanzania in building secondary schools. While providing aid, the USSR encountered a number of problems, the solution of which fell primarily on the shoulders of the Soviet teachers dispatched to the country. According to the author of the article, the persistent difficulties that Soviet teachers and agencies had to deal with were directly related to the internal political situation in Tanzania, namely the prioritization of primary education and economic policy under the Ujamaa concept. Despite the fact that the aid provided by the Soviet Union was ultimately successful in achieving its intended goals, it was very limited in nature and influenced by trends in Tanzania’s domestic political life.

Анализ заболеваемости глаукомой населения регионов Черноземья за 2014–2021 годы.

The aim of the study is to analyze the dynamics of glaucoma prevalence and incidence in population of Black Earth regions in 2014–2021. Materials and methods. The dynamics of glaucoma incidence and prevalence was studied by data of medical aid appealability of population of Black Earth regions. Analysis covered the period from 2014 to 2021. The study of morbidity rates was based on data from statistical digests of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Russian Research Institute of Health. Results. The research findings showed the increase in glaucoma prevalence in 2014–2021 in population of Black Earth regions in general (by 0,5%) and in the Voronezh Region (by 21,7%), the Kursk Region (by 24,9%) and the Tambov Region (by 7,1%). Two Black Earth regions showed the decrease in glaucoma prevalence – the Belgorod Region (by 7,0%) and the Lipetsk Region (by 3,7%). Glaucoma incidence rate during analyzed period is characterized by downward trend in Russia as a whole (by 22,4%), as well as in all the Black Earth regions: the Lipetsk Region by 63,4%, the Tambov Region by 32,6%, the Belgorod Region by 23,4%, the Kursk Region by 20,1%, the Voronezh Region by 1,8%. Conclusions. The increase in glaucoma prevalence and incidence in the population of Russia, the Voronezh Region, the Kursk Region, the Tambov Region indicates the accumulation of a patient population with previously diagnosed glaucoma due to increased expectation of life and decreased detection of new glaucoma cases. The decrease in glaucoma prevalence and incidence in the Belgorod Region and the Lipetsk Region indicates the decreased access of medical services for patients with ophthalmic disease in public medical establishments of these regions.

Experience of the pandemic in the context of changing doctor-patient relationship

The article deals with the issue of transformation of doctor-patient relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main aspects investigated by analyzing the results of the questionnaire survey were the attitude of Moscow residents to their health, their personal experience of overcoming the pandemic, and its impact on the perception of medical professionals. According to the results, the experience of overcoming the pandemic had a positive impact on changing the perception of the doctor's image and of the medical community in general. Survey participants noted the heroization of medical professionals' actions during the fight against the novel coronavirus infection, which resulted in a general rise in the level of trust in doctors and an increase in the status of the medical profession. Muscovites believe that part of the responsibility for their health lies with medical professionals. However, taking into account that behavioral strategies of a substantial number of the respondents are marked by low activity of observing the principles of healthy lifestyle, the presence of bad habits, low medical aid appealability at the occurrence of primary signs of disease, and non-compliance with doctor's prescriptions, it significantly complicates the possibility of providing medical care and preserving health.

On reasons for growth of post-mortem diagnoses of tuberculosis in recent years

Objective. To study the incidence of postmortem tuberculosis in the recent years.
 Materials and methods. According to the data of the Federal Forms of Statistical Reports for 2013–2022, the tuberculosis incidence and mortality, frequency of postmortem diagnoses of tuberculosis cases, medical aid appealability of population, and coverage of preventive fluorographic examinations were studied on the territory of Perm Region.
 Results. It was found that against the background of a decrease in tuberculosis morbidity and mortality from this infection for 2020–2022, the total of all first identified cases showed an increase in the proportion of the postmortem cases of tuberculosis. It was revealed that late diagnostics of tuberculosis is associated with a decrease in the number of requests for medical assistance and the coverage of fluorographic examinations due to COVID-19 epidemic.
 Conclusions. The increase in the share of postmortem diagnoses of tuberculosis cases has been noted in the total of all first identified tuberculosis cases for the period of 2020–2022 against the background of a new coronavirus infection epidemic.

Структурні, гендерні та вікові особливості отруєнь на робочому місці в урбанізованому регіоні

One of the topical directions of clinical toxicology in many countries of the world is the study of the specifics of acute poisonings that occur at the workplace. Aim. Study of the structural, gender and age characteristics of work-related poisoning among the population of Kyiv. Material and Methods. The medical records of 264 patients with workplace poisoning, aged 18-72, were studied; men – 184, women – 80. The patients were treated in the Kyiv City Clinical Emergency Hospital in 2002-2021. Statistical processing – Microsoft Excel 2019. Results. According to the results of the analysis of emergency medical aid appeals in the period 2002-2021 regarding acute poisonings at the workplace, it was established that, despite the significant decrease in the annual number of appeals regard ing industrial injuries, the share of acute poisonings at the workplace, among all cases of industrial injuries remains a stable indicator and equals 3.5 %. Among male patients, the most numerous age group was 21-30 years old, among women – 41-50 years old; inhalation poisoning was diagnosed in 42.4 % of patients; entry of a toxic substance through the mucous membranes of the eyes and skin in 23.1 % and 13.25 %, respectively; different ways – in 10.2%. Hospital mortality among women was 3.75 %, among men – 6.52 %, the total mortality among poisonings that occurred at the workplace was 5.7 % (15 cases). Most cases of poisoning (90.9 %) occur at enterprises and institutions that are not directly related to the use of chemically hazardous substances. Poisoning by highly toxic substances (carbon monoxide, organic solvents, ethylene glycol, heavy metals) prevailed among men, and poisoning by disinfectants and household chemicals (chlorine, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, acids and alkalis) among women. Conclusions. Systematic monitoring and analysis of the hospital structure of poisonings at the workplace is the key to creating a safe production environment and preserving the health of the working population. Keywords: work-related poisoning, gender, age.

Factors associated with international humanitarian aid appeal for disasters from 1995 to 2015: A retrospective database study.

International humanitarian aid during disasters should be needs-based and coordinated in response to appeals from affected governments. We identify disaster and population factors associated with international aid appeal during disasters and hence guide preparation by international humanitarian aid providers. In this retrospective database analysis, we searched the Emergency Events Database for all disasters from 1995 to 2015. Disasters with and without international aid appeals were compared by location, duration, type of disaster, deaths, number of people affected, and total estimated damage. Logistic regression was used to examine the association of each factor with international aid appeal. Of 13,961 disasters recorded from 1995 to 2015, 168 (1.2%) involved international aid appeals. Aid appeals were more likely to be triggered by disasters which killed more people (OR 1.29 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-1.64] log10 persons), affected more people (OR 1.85 [95%CI 1.57-2.18] / log10 persons), and occurred in Africa (OR 1.67 [95%CI 1.06-2.62). Earthquakes (OR 4.07 [95%CI 2.16-7.67]), volcanic activity (OR 6.23 [95%CI 2.50-15.53]), and insect infestations (OR 12.14 [95%CI 3.05-48.35]) were more likely to trigger international aid appeals. International aid appeals were less likely to be triggered by disasters which occurred in Asia (OR 0.46 [95%CI 0.29-0.73]) and which were transport accidents (OR 0.12 [95%CI 0.02-0.89]). International aid appeal during disasters was associated with greater magnitude of damage, disasters in Africa, and specific types of disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and insect infestations. Humanitarian aid providers can focus preparation on these identified factors.

Factors Associated with International Humanitarian Aid Appeal: Analysis of Disasters from 1995 to 2015

Teach a Man to Fish: The Use of Autonomous Aid in Eliciting Donations

Nonprofit organizations often position their charitable efforts as fulfilling the immediate needs of those who are disadvantaged (termed “immediate aid appeals”). This study explores an alternative positioning strategy focused on the use of autonomous aid appeals, which promote the use of donated funds to facilitate the eventual self-sufficiency of those in need. Seven studies show that people are more likely to donate to a charity that uses autonomous aid appeals than immediate aid appeals. The authors generalize this effect to various contexts and examine it with actual donation behavior. They find that managerially relevant boundary conditions support a serial mediation model first through perceptions of impact and then by feelings of hope for the recipient's future. To support the proposed framework, they conduct mediation analyses and two process-by-moderation studies. The findings have practical implications for charities and their promotional messaging.

Oslava Uhorska v básni Juraja Henischa

Georg Henisch was originally from Bardejov but spent his entire life as a doctor and a teacher at the Gymnasium of St. Anna in the German town of Augsburg. Henisch also composed several poems during his studies, and these works are less well known than his other writings. Henisch wrote a so-called propempticon, a valedictory poem of farewell, in 1571 on the occasion of the return home of the future evangelical pastor of Slovenská Ľupča, Ján Janči. An obligatory component of the propempticon is praise for the destination or the homeland of the traveller, and in Henisch’s poem 58 of the 148 hexameters are devoted to praising the Kingdom of Hungary. The poet’s description of Hungary is influenced by the image of the country which was widespread in Western Europe in this period and was based on a series of topoi: fertilitas Hungariae, Hungary as a land blessed with rich soil; propugnaculum Christianitatis, Hungary as the shield of Christendom, protecting Christianity from the Ottoman Empire; and querela Hungariae, the lament of Hungary and the appeal for aid against the Turks. Henisch follows this pattern closely, and he describes Hungary as an ideal country, with fertile soil and excellent natural conditions, the homeland of hard-working people and great rulers who will drive out their powerful enemies. The work also mentions the Turkish enemies who are ravaging the land, but Hungary has splendid and fearless leaders, and the poet expresses the hope that the saints will never allow the country to perish.

Dynamics of morbidity rates of the Orenburg Region population

The morbidity of the population includes primary incidence, prevalence (cumulative incidence), and the frequency of diseases established during medical examinations. Various data are used to analyze and process information about morbidity: data on medical aid appealability, data from the results of routine medical examinations, and data from the analysis of the causes of death. In dynamics from 2015 to 2020, general morbidity of the population of the Orenburg Region was characterized by the fact that the morbidity rates of respiratory diseases still ranked first, while diseases of the circulatory organs ranked second. Diseases of the digestive system, which previously occupied the 6th ranking position, moved to the third place. The primary incidence of the population from 2015 to 2020 was characterized by the fact that the morbidity of respiratory diseases also remained in first place, while injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes ranked second. Diseases of the circulatory system, which previously occupied the 5th ranking place, moved to the third place. In order to improve the health of citizens, reduce the population morbidity, improve the standard of living, increase the birth rate, decrease the death rate, raise the life expectancy of the population, and improve the environmental situation in our region, it is necessary to make decisions at the level of the legislative and executive authorities of municipalities and the subject of the Russian Federation, i.e. Orenburg Region.

Would the United States Come to Nazareth’s Aid? Local and International Contests over the City’s Water

This article explores the appeals for aid made by Nazareth’s inhabitants to the US Point Four Program (the predecessor to today’s USAID) to implement a water infrastructure project during the early 1950s. It argues that this was one of several attempts by Palestinians to push back against their exclusion and marginalization by the nascent Israeli state and to retain some measure of autonomy in local governance. Focusing on this settler-colonial setting, and on the role of nonstate actors in what became a protracted and complex conflict, I show how water rights and resource management were embroiled in the political contests that shaped the process of decolonization, at both local and international levels.

Court Cases on Poor Children’s Access to Normalcy

Poverty in childhood is associated with an increased risk of being marginalised and socially excluded, which is also the case in the Swedish welfare state. Poor parents often strive for their children to fit in among same‐aged children, which is difficult for the poorest to accomplish. As the last resort for the poor, the welfare state offers the opportunity to apply for financial aid, but applications may be rejected. Parents can then appeal the rejections to an administrative court. In these decisions, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child could be applied or referred to. The convention has been incorporated into Swedish law since 2020. This article is grounded in childhood sociology and aims to show how poor children, their needs, and rights are processed in the legal system, which sets the framework for the children’s access to material conditions needed for inclusion in a welfare state such as Sweden. The presentation is based on a qualitative content analysis of administrative court records concerning financial aid appeals. The results show that the appeal process confirms the adult orientation of financial aid and that a child rights perspective is, with few exceptions, missing in these records. When children are mentioned, a care perspective dominates and their right to participation is neglected.

Help yourself by helping others: self-interest in appeals for Russian famine relief, 1921-23.

The hypothesis of psychological egoism is a commonplace in disciplines like economics, psychology, and biology. As an explanatory model it includes prosocial behaviour such as providing aid for distant strangers. But the inclusion of self-interest in humanitarian appeals can prove difficult because the moral economy of charitable work is regulated by different standards than the liberal market economy. This paper analyses the use of self-interest in appeals for humanitarian aid during the Russian famine of 1921-23 through the lens of modern philanthropic studies, while simultaneously assessing theories of philanthropic behaviour from a historical perspective. It points out the need for the systematic inclusion of historical experience in philanthropic research and concludes that the specific conditions surrounding the international campaign favoured the widespread use of appeals to donors' self-interest. An ideal-typical categorisation of such appeals into four groups-national, economic, group-specific, and psychological-is proposed as an analytical tool for similar studies.

Некоторые особенности статистической отчетности в практике оториноларинголога детской районной поликлиники Санкт-Петербурга

Morbidity statistics in outpatient clinics are based on the registration and coding of all diseases and other reasons for seeking medical help and are regulated by the main provisions of the Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Statistical registration form No. 12 is filled in by all medical organizations included in the nomenclature of medical organizations. City indicators of ENT morbidity in children according to the medical aid appeals and according to medical examinations are formed on the basis of statistical data from ENT departments of Otolaryngology of children’s city hospitals and data from ENT consulting rooms of children’s city outpatient clinics. In this study, the authors analyzed the volume, content, informativeness, and the degree of detail of statistical information on the indicators of ENT morbidity in the children’s population, received from an otorhinolaryngologist at the children’s district outpatient clinics of Saint Petersburg. The material of the study was statistical information from the standard urban reporting forms of the outpatient clinics: form No. 12, form No. 71/y, form No. 39/y-02, form 025-2/y. Based on the results of the study, the authors propose to expand the existing form of statistical reporting of the children’s clinic, adding to it such nosological forms as „Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss“, „Mixed hearing loss“, „Acute sinusitis“, „Acute tonsillitis“, „Allergic rhinitis“, unspecified, „Chronic tonsillitis“, „Peritonsillar abscess“, „Epistaxis“, „Fracture of the nasal bones of the nose“, „Tracheostomy status“, Congenital anomalies (malformations) of the ear, nose, larynx.

Chronic venous insufficiency after COVID-19: management of edema and pain syndromes

Introduction. COVID-19 infection raises many questions regarding the health condition of patients after they have had COVID-19. The aim of this study is to examine the characteristic symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in the postcovid period.Materials and methods. The materials that were used for work included the results of studying the medical aid appealability, characteristic symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency in persons who have had the coronavirus infection. 47 patients presented with complaints about deterioration of their condition after they had had COVID-19 over March to September 2021 period. Methods: general clinical examiniation, ultrasound angioscanning of veins of the lower extremities, laboratory coagulation tests.Results and discussion. Before deterioration, calf circumference was measured 22–24 cm at a typical measurement site in most patients (89%), after covid infection it reached 26–27 cm. Varicose veins remained soft, without intravascular formations, edema was often bilateral, asymmetric, pain was described as constant (5–6 VAS scores), patients had prominent signs of lymphostasis. 35 out of 47 people received diosmin-based venotonic drug of Russian manufacture at a dose of 1000 mg/day (one tablet twice a day), the course of treatment lasted one to two months. After that period, the edema subsided in 85% of patients, the severity of pain syndrome significantly reduced (up to 2–3 VAS scores). With regard to chronic venous insufficiency in patients with chronic diseases of lower extremity veins (mostly varicose and post-thrombotic diseases), the significant progress of disease was observed in almost 94% of follow-up cases. Diosmin is the main drug that is prescribed to treat chronic venous insufficiency. The drug has an angioprotective and venotonic effect, reduces the vein wall elasticity, increases venous tone, and decreases venous stasis, reduces capillary permeability and fragility, and increases their resistance, improves microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.Сonclusions. In the postcovid period, clinical symptoms of some chronic diseases occur/worsen, including clinical manifestations of chronic venous insufficiency. The use of Russian diosmin-based drug for the management of edema and pain syndrome is very promising.

A system for creating healthy lifestyle in educational establishments as a way to prevent health disorders in children

The paper focuses on morbidity among children that was examined as per medical aid appealability and prevailing behavioral factors among children aged 10–14 who attended schools with different systems for healthy lifestyle creation. In 2008, when a continuous system for healthy lifestyle formation was just being introduced, there were only slight differences in primary and overall morbidity among children aged 10–14 who attended test schools and reference ones; 10 year later, in 2018, primary and overall morbidity was substantially lower among children who attended tests schools than among those who went to reference ones. Primarily, it concerns such «school-induced» diseases as diseases of the eye and adnexa; diseases of the respiratory system; gastric diseases; diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the connective tissue; injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes. Data obtained via questioning that was performed among schoolchildren and concentrated on them assessing their health are well in line with official data on morbidity obtained as per medical aid appealability. Children from test schools estimated their health as poor much less frequently than children from reference schools; they were significantly less irritable, and bad mood was also not so frequent among them. Healthy lifestyle recommended for children included 5 basic components: fruit and vegetables should be consumed every day; sleep should b not shorter than 8 hours; physical activity was to be 1 hour a day or longer not more than 2 hours a day should be spent working or playing on a PC, laptop, or a smartphone; no alcohol intake and no smoking either. Assessment of this lifestyle revealed that a share of children who pursued it was higher in test schools than in reference ones; in the 5-6th grades, 18.7±1.62 % and 11.0±1.43 % (t=3.56) accordingly; in the 7‒8th grades, 19.2±2.09 % and 11.8±1.41 % (t=2.93).

Система формирования здорового образа жизни в детских образовательных организациях как средство профилактики нарушений здоровья у детей

Migracje z państw objętych konfliktami zbrojnymi - analiza wypowiedzi parlamentarzystów na Twitterze

This article aims to analyze the statements published by Polish MPs about the situation of migrants in a social media platform, Twitter. The results of the study show that politicians rarely raise the subject of migration, although a number of important events took place in the international arena regarding the problems of migrants from war-torn areas. Parliamentarians’ tweets are characterized by brevity and generality. They focus on informing about the risks associated with accepting migrants from war-torn areas. A large number of tweets is an appeal for humanitarian aid for migrants. Some posts refer to the chances of development of the Polish economy as a result of economic migration. Parliamentarians’ statements correlate with political, social and psychological factors that are influenced by the complexity of the subject of migration, polarization of public opinion and the existence of stereotypes and prejudice against migrants.

Professional conditioning of the formation of diseases of the musculoskeletal system in traffic police inspectors

Back pain is one of the most common causes of temporary disability (TD) and medical aid appealability. Pain syndrome of lumbosacral localization is typical for the class of diseases of the musculoskeletal system (DMSS). The factors of workload be the cause of the development of occupationally determined DMSS. Given the possibility of the impact of same factors on traffic policemen, it seems relevant to study the risk of developing DMSS in this group workers.The aim of study based on the study of working conditions of traffic police inspectors and the prevalence of BCMS among THEM to assess the degree of professional conditioning of the analyzed diseases.The assessment of working conditions of inspectors of traffic police with measurement of levels of influence of professional factors was carried out. Retrospective analysis of health status was carried out according to the data of outpatient cards (431 cards) and sick leaves (568 sheets for 369 people), as well as subjectively according to the results of a survey (117 questionnaires) in different age and age groups. Nonparametric and parametric methods of variational statistics were used to establish the reliability of the differences.Working conditions of traffic police inspectors-harmful fourth degree (class 3.4), limiting factors were the microclimate (3.3), tension (3.3) and the severity of work (3.2). Predicted index of occupational diseases — 0,5–1,0 — very high (intolerable) occupational risk. BCMS ranked 1st in the structure of morbidity and amounted to 37.12±2.3 cases per 100 workers–2.8 times higher than the average. The linear character of the increase in the cases of BKMS with experience was observed (approximation coefficient R2=0.98; p<0.001). The increase in the number of cases of BCMS in the group with experience of 10 years or more compared to the group up to 5 years is statistically significant: χ2=29.79 (p<0.001).The linear nature of the dependence of the increase in the number of diseases with experience was revealed. Professional conditionality of development of BKMS in group of inspectors of traffic police traffic police is statistically proved. The level of relative occupational risk in the BCMS class is high.
