Заболеваемость острым коронарным синдромом в Российской Федера- ции и в Республике Башкортостан.

Purpose of the study. Based on an analysis of the medical and demographic situation and the incidence of acute coronary syndrome in the Russian Federation, in the federal districts and constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as in the pilot territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan, proposals are given for the development of management decisions at the regional and federal levels. Materials and methods: statistical, analytical. We used statistical materials of the Federal State Statistics Service (2014–2021), statistical materials: M., TsNIIOIZ of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (2023) and the Republic of Bashkortostan MIAC, Ufa (2022). Results. The leading cause of mortality in the Republic of Belarus, as well as in the Russian Federation as a whole, is diseases of the circulatory system (CVD). In 2022, the mortality rate of the population from CVD in the Republic of Belarus was 459,5 per 100 thousand population, in the Russian Federation the figure was higher – 560,8‰oo. Fluctuations in indicators in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are 7,6 times. The primary morbidity rate of the adult population in the Republic of Bashkortostan was BSK (2022) 4948,6‰oo. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a group of clinical symptoms or signs suggestive of acute myocardial infarction (MI) or unstable angina (UA). The primary incidence rate of the adult population of the Republic of Belarus with unstable angina pectoris was (2022) 113,8‰oo, acute myocardial infarction – 97,7‰oo, in the Russian Federation the figures are higher – 106,7 and 140,8‰oo, respectively. The difference in the incidence of myocardial infarction among the adult population in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is 9,3 times; the difference in unstable angina is huge – 54 times, which to a certain extent indicates the ambiguity of the coding of unstable angina. The study indicates the need for an in-depth analysis of the incidence of acute coronary syndrome in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. It is necessary to develop management decisions, including improving the accessibility and quality of cardiac care to thepopulation, including patients with acute coronary syndrome, at the regional and federal levels.

A resources ecosystem for digital and heritage-led holistic knowledge in rural regeneration

This paper presents a digital resources ecosystem prototype of integrated tools and resources to support heritage-led regeneration of rural regions, thanks to a deeper understanding of the complexity of cultural natural landscapes throughout their historical and current development. The ecosystem is conceived as a distributed software platform establishing data ecosystem and open standards for the management of information, aimed at providing different services and applications to address the needs of the various end-users identified. The platform has been conceived and realised in the framework of a Horizon 2020 research project, with a view to building a set of holistic knowledge about rural regions and their cultural and natural heritage and making it available for long-lasting heritage-led territorial processes of change. It is the product of a multidisciplinary collaboration amongst heritage, digital humanities and ICTs experts, and combines data and methodologies from a range of approaches to humanities together with the customisation of effective digital tools. It has been designed for deployment also in cloud systems compliant with the Infrastructure-as-a-Service paradigm. All data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR data). It hosts and integrates different tools, making the data gathered with/for local stakeholders usable and making the same data re-usable within the tools’ functions, generating integrated heritage knowledge. It comprises data on 19 rural pilot territories, where the tools and their integration have been developed and tested, while 62 more are partially included as additional territories which participate in certain activities within the project. The main testers for this platform and its functions are the local stakeholders of these territories. The paper describes and analyses the platform and its impact, discussing the integration of tools as an innovative approach that goes beyond the use of individual tools in shaping a multidimensional vision. It also offers an analysis of the potential of an integrated digital ecosystem in evidence-based and place-based regeneration strategies. Some reflections for developments and cooperation during the pandemic are also presented.

Towards Automated Detection and Localization of Red Deer Cervus elaphus Using Passive Acoustic Sensors during the Rut

Passive acoustic sensors have the potential to become a valuable complementary component in red deer Cervus elaphus monitoring providing deeper insight into the behavior of stags during the rutting period. Automation of data acquisition and processing is crucial for adaptation and wider uptake of acoustic monitoring. Therefore, an automated data processing workflow concept for red deer call detection and localization was proposed and demonstrated. The unique dataset of red deer calls during the rut in September 2021 was collected with four GPS time-synchronized microphones. Five supervised machine learning algorithms were tested and compared for the detection of red deer rutting calls where the support-vector-machine-based approach demonstrated the best performance of −96.46% detection accuracy. For sound source location, a hyperbolic localization approach was applied. A novel approach based on cross-correlation and spectral feature similarity was proposed for sound delay assessment in multiple microphones resulting in the median localization error of 16 m, thus providing a solution for automated sound source localization—the main challenge in the automation of the data processing workflow. The automated approach outperformed manual sound delay assessment by a human expert where the median localization error was 43 m. Artificial sound records with a known location in the pilot territory were used for localization performance testing.

RANKING AND PRIORITIZATION OF RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN THE SPHERE OF NATURAL PROTECTION AIMED TO ACHIEVE SDG13

Within the complex military-political situation in Ukraine and international and national initiatives to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 13 (International Strategy for Natural Disaster Risk Reduction, Sendai Framework Program and Strategy for Environmental Security and Adaptation to Climate Change), the importance of selecting projects for responsible investment in environmental protection is increasing significantly. The work emphasizes the importance of incorporating impact investment criteria, in particular, maximizing social and environmental impact while simultaneously achieving the targets of Sustainable Development Goals 13. The work is aimed at developing a methodology for ranking and prioritizing projects of responsible investment in the field of environmental protection to promote progress in Sustainable Development Goals 13 and its approval on the example of the projects of the "Environmental safety" direction under the Post-war Recovery Plan of Ukraine. The basis of the development of the methodology is the elements of decision-making theory (Laplace, Wald, Hurwitz and Savage criteria for choosing the best alternative solutions, Borda and Condorcet rules for optimal collective decisions) and a five-dimensional approach to assessing the impact of the studied projects. A special emphasis should be placed on the five-dimensional approach to assessing the impact of the researched projects, which makes it possible to evaluate their quality characteristics based on the dimensions of the essence of the project, its target audience, duration, environmental impact and risk management system. Among such criteria, it is worth mentioning the importance and effectiveness of the project's impact, progress in the sustainability targets, the characteristics of the stakeholders under the project impact, the duration of the results obtained from the implementation of the project, the environmental contribution of the enterprise in the form of a contractual result, the peculiarities of its risk management. The use of the developed methodology made it possible to identify the most priority nature protection projects, which included projects aimed at reclamation, conservation and protection of lands in the pilot territories, including those affected by the military aggression of the Russian Federation, restoration of forests, implementation of the national system of trading quotas for greenhouse gas emissions and eco-modernization of industrial and infrastructure enterprises

НАУЧНОЕ ОБОСНОВАНИЕ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ СТРУКТУРЫ ПОЛИКЛИНИКИ ЦРБ

Significance. The existing personnel imbalance in health care, including the number of medical staff and occupied positions in the central district hospitals (CDH) of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and structural units of these hospitals, makes it difficult to improve availability and quality of primary health care (PHC). Development and implementation of the standard CDH models with the standard staffing table, on the basis of which it is possible to form the optimal structure of the central district hospital with the optimal staffing table based on the justified need for human resources, will contribute to improving quality and availability of primary health care at the municipal level. Purpose of the study: to significantly substantiate the regular number of medical personnel of the central district hospital with differently sized catchment areas. Material and methods: Forms of the federal statistical observation (FSN) No. 30 in the pilot territories in three constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the three different federal districts, procedures for care delivery by specialty. Analytical and statistical methods. Results. Actually, a doctor position should be included in the CRH staffing table if the standards allow for the full-time position. Certain health specialties allow for part-time positions if the outpatient and inpatient positions of the specialists can be combined into one full-time position, or part-time positions in the related specialties in the polyclinic with due regard to the population demand. Results. The structure of the CDH polyclinic and the list of full-time medical positions considerably differ depending on the size of the attached population. The adequate number of specialty doctors is ensured by the CDH work organization, distribution of specialists across separate subdivisions that are part of the CDH structure, and the use of telehealth technologies.

Эмоциональное выгорание врача-терапевта участкового

Based on the results of assessments of the dependences of the level of psychoemotional load of a primary care physician (PHC) (district physician) on medical and social problems related to the conditions of his activity, measures have been developed for stress resistance and health saving of a district physician (VTU). The Orenburg region with a population of almost 2 million people was the pilot territory (base) for the study. The region has 12 cities and 35 rural districts, the share of the rural population is 40.1%. Research materials und methods: sociological, direct observation, statistical: 1014 questionnaires of survey of district physicians (93% of the total number of VTU) were subjected to statistical processing. The study included 4 stages. At the first stage, sociological surveys of district physicians working in medical organizations located in urban and rural settlements were carried out (568 and 446 VTU, respectively). At the second stage of the study, the level of psychoemotional burnout was assessed using the modified method of V. V. Boyko (2010) “Diagnostics of the level of emotional burnout”. At the third stage of the study, we calculated the statistically significant correlation of the symptom of professional burnout (SPEV) with factors related to medical and social problems of the professional activity of the local GP. At the fourth stage of the study, a set of measures has been developed and is being implemented to increase emotional stability in the professional activity of the local GP. Relevance. WHO classifies occupational stress as a disease of the twentieth century, which can manifest itself in any profession and can reach the size of a “global epidemic”. The accumulation of negative emotions in the profession of a doctor can lead to psycho-emotional exhaustion and the formation of the syndrome of “emotional burnout”. A necessary quality of a primary care physician is emotional stability. This is the ability to overcome a state of excessive emotional arousal. Of particular importance is the development of professional burnout and the assessment of professional stability for district physicians who make first contact with the patient. Results. Measures have been developed to increase the effectiveness of emotional (professional) stability in the activities of VTU. Conclusion: Emotional stability in the doctor’s work allows you to maintain and further increase the effectiveness of professional activities. The obtained research results were used for the development of the “program for the modernization of health care in the Orenburg region”. They were used in the development of the Software product of the Ministry of health of the Orenburg region.

Regularities of transformation of dimethoate in apple agrocenoses

The aim of the research was to identify the regularities of dimethoate transformation in apple agrocenoses under the influence of protection technologies.Methods. The work was done in Toxicological laboratory of the North Caucasus Federal scientific center of horticulture, viticulture, winemaking. The research was conducted in field and laboratory conditions with using of methodological approaches based on modern methods and techniques. The pilot territory was laid in close corporation PPF Central. The extraction of analyzed compounds by plant and soil material is carried out according to the "Guidelines for the determination of micro-quantities of pesticides in plants, processed products, soil and water".Results. The background determination of organophosphate pesticides in soil before the planned treatments during this year revealed: the substance of dimethoate is higher the hygienic regulations in 1.3-1.4 times in 53% of the examined samples. During the harvest period, the content of dimethoate in all soil samples exceeded the permissible concentration, in the control version includes 0.3-0.5 PC of dimethoate. The accumulation of dimethoate is associated with its ability to react with complexing metal ions, which count in our soils is sufficient.Conclusion. Compiling the apple protection system is recommended to take into account that the annual using of dimethoates implying a violation of hygienic standards in soil and apple fruits. If there is a single application, residual amounts of dimethoate are in apple fruits, and their concentrations are exceeding or staying in the maximum permissible level. The samples were taken after 40 days of treatment. We recommend to exclude these insecticides (including D. V. dimetoate) from the apple tree protection system or use single application every 2 years in the first half of growing season.

Indicators for the Smart Development of Villages and Neighbourhoods in Baltic Sea Coastal Areas

A formal village/neighbourhood planning process is typically focused on three planning levels (national, regional and local) and is usually linked with administrative units of the territory (state, region or municipality). The local planning level (village or neighbourhood) “pocket plan” is a development challenge for spatial planners. The small coastal village Tuja in Latvia was taken as a pilot territory for “pocket planning” due to the unique location; biodiversity and ecosystems; significant natural, cultural, economic and social values; specific interests; and the needs of the involved local society. All these factors create a dynamic flow of data and information. Geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used as planning support systems. GISs for pocket plans must accommodate the special needs of communities in villages and neighbourhoods. Ensuring the availability of information in dynamic real time is an opportunity to build both community integration in specific environments and to understand the future plans of the territory. Access to a WEB-GIS (internet GIS) provides possibilities for every person with a mobile phone to use and update information. Static and statistical information is generally used for spatial planning. For pocket plans, the data and information flow has to be dynamic and has to interact with non-professional users. The special wishes and needs of every member of a community must be accommodated by a pocket plan for the well-being of the people and the sustainability of the surrounding territory. Small territory planning involves a very narrow circle of individuals or communities that identify spatial development needs for the future, which includes the socio-economic, cultural, historical, environmental and climate change scenarios. In order to assess the development opportunities and needs of such areas, the detection, accumulation and monitoring of reliable data is necessary. Methodically derived data (facts) provide objectivity and transparency. Currently, as information between the present and the past is able to circulate very fast, analysis of the current situation to forecast the future and show different constructed realities (scenarios) using a GIS is necessary. Therefore, to explore and determine a local needs-based and smart spatial planning approach, we must identify indicators that can be used for the short-term and long-term analysis of specific territories in coastal areas.

Problems and prospects of the reclaimed floodplain' of the Irpin’ River usage under the modern socio-economic and climatic transformations.

Relevance of research. As a result of row of reasons of socio-economic character, there has been a decrease in volumes and a decrease in the efficiency of the use of drained land over the last two decades, primarily within river floodplains. The purpose of the study is to determine the prospects and problems of the development of reclaimed areas of the Irpin river floodplain under transformed climatic conditions and the nature of land use. Research methods - field surveys, monitoring observations of water levels in canals and groundwater levels, systematic and cartographic data analysis and hydrological calculations. Research results and main conclusions. Based on the research findings in the typical pilot territories of Irpin’s drainage-irrigation system (DIS), the current state and main problems of the use of drained lands within the Irpen’s river floodplain are characterized, as well as the prospects for the further development of reclaimed floodplain areas during the transformation of climatic conditions and land use are determined. It has been established that significant factors influencing the decrease in the level of use of drained agricultural land of the floodplain for its intended purpose are the fragmentation of land shares, the limited financial capabilities of their owners, the nationwide tolerance for long-term non-use of reclaimed lands, as well as the tendency to increase the number of peat fires and floodplain buildings development.
 It was determined that the unsatisfactory technical condition of a significant part of the on-farm drainage canals of the Irpin’s DIS, the majority of hydrotechnical water control structures on them, siltation of the estuarine parts of closed drainage collectors and a decrease in the depth of its occurrence in areas with peat deposits due to their runoff, precipitation, mechanical removal and burning out ensuring a favorable water regime of soils and protection of the agricultural lands from flooding on the floodplain of the Irpin’s River without redesign or modernization of the DIS. It is noted that the perspective direction of the use of drained floodplain lands is the cultivation of berry crops with an application of drip irrigation. I
 It is determined that, taking into account the potential negative water and environmental consequences of housing, especially multi-story, floodplain development, its use as a town-planning resource should be geographically limited and aimed primarily at creating of recreational areas and to be carried out in compliance with the requirements of water and land legislation.

Анализ деятельности врачей службы функциональной диагностики

The availability of functional diagnostics by doctors plays a key role in timely diagnosis. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the adequacy of the provision of medical organizations with doctors of functional diagnosis and to evaluate their activities in an outpatient setting. The data of forms of statistical observation for the period from 2012 to 2016 were analyzed to provide doctors with functional diagnostics and the number of their studies in the context of Federal districts and pilot territories of the country for carrying out photochronometric studies. The study showed that in the Russian Federation and its districts there is a low provision of functional diagnostics by doctors working in outpatient conditions, with a favorable trend to their growth. Despite this, over the past five years there has been an increase in their workload, which is reflected in an increase in the number of studies per doctor-specialist and per resident of the country.

Modèle de prédiction des essences feuillues et résineuses du Québec

This paper describes a prediction model adopted by the Department of Energy and Resources of Quebec to (i) update temporary sample plots and (ii) project into the future the state of permanent sample plots in Quebec forests. Predicting the growth of a forest species means predicting the state of this species in time. Three basic characteristics mark the state of a species in a given year: number of trees, their total basal area, and their total volume. To date, in Quebec, normal or empirical yield tables have been used to predict the state of some species in ideal or real growth conditions, but these yield tables apply only to pure or almost pure even-aged stands. The prediction model for hardwood and softwood species presented in this paper serves the same purpose as the yield tables; however, it differs from the yield tables in that it can predict the state of each hardwood or softwood species found in pure or mixed, even- or uneven-aged stands. The prediction model was validated for 19 species found in a pilot territory located in the Basse-Gatincau (southwestern Quebec). The paper terminates with a discussion on the limitation of the prediction model and the conditions for its use.
