Full textAbstract:
Accessible public transport system is an essential indicator that guarantees equal travelling opportunities for all people. Scientific research has revealed that poor accessibility to public transport mostly affects low‐income people and the elderly. People from these groups have fewer opportunities to reach education institutions, working places, or health institutions. Access to public transport routes is among public transport indicators that are important for these social groups of people. An analysis reveals that during the last six years, from 1998 to 2004, access to public transport increased on average by 1,28 % in the district area. The analysed indicators of population density, working density, ratio of built up territories and green areas, accessibility of the public transport, density of routes in the area in question, and the distance to the centre revealed that the accessibility to public transport also has a significant influence on the price of housing, especifically for the above social group.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a major health problem worldwide, killing thousand adults and children every year mainly in developing countries as Brazil. The disease is socially determined, caused mainly by inequalities as overcrowding, bad conditions of housing, unemployment, and limited access to health care. The aim of this study was to identify the social inequalities associated with the onset of tuberculosis in disease-prone territories in a city from the Northeast.
Methodology: This was an ecological study, which has gathered patients diagnosed with tuberculosis through secondary data source in a city from the northeast of Brazil. The GAMLSS statistical model has been applied considering as response variable the count of Tuberculosis cases and the independent variable, the social conditions. The double Poisson distribution was considered in the analysis. The best model fitted was selected according the Akaike information criterion value. For all tests, the p value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: 460 patients with diagnosis of tuberculosis were identified, which represents an incidence of 36.3 cases/100,000 in males and 20.7 cases/100,000 in females. Regarding social inequality associated with tuberculosis, income (households with per capita income between 1/8 and 3 minimum wages), gender and age (Proportion of males under 15 years of age) were associated with the disease.
Conclusions: The findings evidenced the social determinants associated with tuberculosis, with a greater occurrence of the disease in areas with mostly male children and low-income families, these issues must be managed within and beyond the health sector, which is mandatory for the Tuberculosis elimination.

"The Quality of Life of the Population of the Arctic Zone of Russia and Financial and Economic Mechanisms for Improving It from the Standpoint of Strengthening National Interests."

Full textAbstract:
The study is devoted to the research of the quality of life of the population of the Arctic zone of Russia, which is one of the most important priorities of the socio-economic development strategy of the country. Based on the application of economic analysis methods, including correlation and regression modeling based on data for 2008–2017, modern trends and key factors were determined that affect the dynamics of the human development index, which is defined as an effective indicator that most fully and comprehensively reflects the quality of population life. The analysis revealed negative characteristics of the quality of life of the population of the Russian Arctic: income level that does not correspond to the level of needs, the higher unemployment rate in comparison with average data, lack of decent housing conditions, extremely insufficient infrastructure development level and low territory development. Applied correlation and regression modeling demonstrated that the main factors affecting the dynamics of the human development index are the pace of housing construction and crime rate. Given the complexity of these factors and revealed correlation with other factors, the results of analysis prove the need for an integrated approach to the development of the Arctic territories, in which the state plays the most important role through financial and economic mechanisms. Based on the study, an adapted set of financial and economic regulatory mechanisms aimed at the development of the Russian Arctic territories and improving the quality of life of the population of the Arctic zone of Russia was proposed

Full textAbstract:
There is a gap in academic literature that highlights the perspectives of Canadian-Caribbean individuals that navigate both poverty and the stigma of limited access to resources necessary for livelihood in Canada. By employing the intersecting identities of Low-Income and (un)documentation, this poem aims to deconstruct the stereotypical expectations of Canadian-Caribbean immigrants. What does an impoverished Canadian-Caribbean immigrant look like once we’ve disregarded our representativeness heuristic? They now may be the straight-A student in your class or that lady that never seems to wear an uncoordinated outfit – or perhaps your lecturer or community organizer who has an undying passion for 19th-century opera. By mobilizing this idea, this poem seeks to encourage the reader to reconsider our pre-conceived notions of an (un)documented, impoverished Canadian-Caribbean individual. Similarly, this poem challenges the notion that to exist, is contingent on external perceptions. A tree in the Northwest Territories may exist unknowingly to us and still be able to blow gracefully in the wind.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is a quantitative assessment of the factors affecting the health of the population of the Ural region in the Republic of Bashkortostan based on panel regression modelling. Material and methods. The information base was the official statistical materials (2000-2018). Panel data modelling was used as an analysis tool. Results. The state of health of the population of the Ural region was shown to be similar to the general Russian trends. However, territorial specificity is also visible. The overall mortality and mortality rate from the main causes were demonstrated to be significantly influenced by various factors of the socio-economic development of territories, which necessitates taking this heterogeneity into account when developing socio-economic policy measures. A significant contribution to the overall mortality of the entire population was shown to be made by the proportion of the population older than working age, the level of crime, the number of divorces, low income of the population. A gain in the mortality rate from diseases of the circulatory system ensures an increase in the proportion of the population older than working age and a decline in the level of housing provision for the population. The gain in the mortality rate due to neoplasms is also related to the increase in the number of pensioners per 1000 population and low population density. Also, the number of pensioners and low per capita income have an impact on the mortality from respiratory diseases; unemployment and low per capita income - on mortality from diseases of the digestive system. The gain in mortality from external causes is directly related to the increase in the number of registered crimes. Limitations. The study was conducted on the available aggregated data of official statistics, primary data were not used. Conclusion. The analysis of the obtained results and their comparison with the literature data allow determining the priorities of socio-economic, demographic policy at the regional level.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Early studies of technology adoption and computer use identified a “digital divide” between older adults and the general population. As that gap has narrowed, other demographic variables have been identified as continuing to foster disparities in access to and use of computers and related technologies. For example, gender, socioeconomic status, education, and ethnicity have been recognized as predictors of computer use among community living older adults. The ORCATECH Collaborative Aging (In Place) Research Using Technology (CART) initiative was designed to develop and validate an infrastructure for research utilizing technologies to facilitate healthy and independent aging. The CART program tests innovative technology applications in four diverse populations: residents in low income, section 202 housing in Portland; isolated, rural veterans in the Pacific Northwest; urban African American seniors in Chicago; and socially isolated, ethnically diverse low income seniors in Miami. As part of their participation in the CART project, older adults complete an annual survey of health and technology use. A total of 214 participants were enrolled and agreed to have their homes instrumented with the CART platform of monitoring technologies. Across all four cohorts 166 answered the technology survey thus far: 82 - 97% of participants own a cell phone; 64 - 78% perform some online banking activities. There were no differences among cohorts in computer use or cell phone ownership, or in other measures of technology use. Inclusion of ethnically and economically diverse populations in future technology research will be critical in the development of effective digital health interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Poverty is a feature of rural households, and as a result, rural folks usually adopt low-input agriculture to alleviate poverty. Many households in Ngaka Modiri Molema District keep animals, particularly sheep and goats, for a variety of reasons, including as source of income, milk, and meat. However, they lack the management skills that are necessary for their livestock to increase their productivity. Inadequate animal management, including poor feeding and housing standards and poor application of proper animal health procedures are compounded by a lack of agricultural experience and low-input farming methods. In addition, poor animal nutrition, sickness and a high prevalence of parasites, and low animal production output further contribute to low overall productivity. Therefore, support offered by the veterinary services, and the impact these interventions have on sheep and goat farming among rural farmers need to be investigated. The present study will seek to describe the feeding schemes and management practices adopted by sheep and goat owners, as well as the role played by veterinary and extension services in the development of such practices. Health care provided to sheep goat farmers by the veterinary services will also be determined. A survey will be conducted in Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality, a rural area in North West Province of South Africa. The study population will consist of all farmers rearing sheep and goats, both female and male. Animal and farm information level data and general farm management practices will be collected via a questionnaire survey. Using the Statistical Kit for STATA (version 16), data will be examined by computing frequency, percentages, and proportions based on the characteristics of the sample population. This survey will help to provide opportunities for resource-poor farmers in rural areas to develop their flocks.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the contradiction between the transformation of information technology into an integral part of contemporary educational activities and the threat of reducing the quality of the educational process and dehumanizing the individual, resulting from the implementation of digital educational technologies. The need for distance work and remote communication is particularly evident in the situation of the pandemic, which requires, on the one hand, restricting direct interpersonal contacts to prevent the spread of infection, and on the other hand – continuing labor activity to prevent an economic downturn. The disadvantages of the distance framework in the educational process concern a decrease in discipline among students, a deterioration in the quality of learning of educational material, economic inaccessibility for low-income families, insufficient coverage of territories with cellular communication, as well as housing conditions that do not allow organizing remote work and training. These shortcomings become a threat to increasing social stratification due to the impossibility of general access to even basic education. The essence of the protests against distance learning shows that the problems are seen not only in the lack of organization of the learning process but also in the very fact of abandoning the traditional learning model. One of the factors of such a threat is the absolutization of the role of information technology in the learning process, which leads to a deterioration in the level of education. To resolve this contradiction, the authors propose to consider the role of humanitarian knowledge as a meaningful aspect of the educational process.

IntroductionCoronavirus disease (COVID-19), affects 213 countries or territories globally. We received a request from National Health Systems Resource Centre, a public agency in India, to conduct rapid evidence synthesis (RES) on community health workers (CHWs) for COVID-19 prevention and control in 3 days.MethodsWe searched PubMed, websites of ministries (n=3), public agencies (n=6), multilateral institutions (n=3), COVID-19 resource aggregators (n=5) and preprints (n=1) (without language restrictions) for articles on CHWs in pandemics. Two reviewers screened the records independently with a third reviewer resolving disagreements. One reviewer extracted data with another reviewer cross-checking it. A framework on CHW performance in primary healthcare not specific to pandemic was used to guide data extraction and narrative analysis.ResultsWe retrieved 211 records and finally included 36 articles. Most of the evidence was from low-and middle-income countries with well-established CHW programmes. Evidence from CHW programmes initiated during pandemics and for CHW involvement in pandemic response in high-income countries was scant. CHW roles and tasks change substantially during pandemics. Clear guidance, training for changed roles and definition of what constitutes essential activities (ie, those that must to be sustained) is required. Most common additional activities during pandemics were community awareness, engagement and sensitisation (including for countering stigma) and contact tracing. CHWs were reported to be involved in all aspects of contact tracing - this was reported to affect routine service delivery. CHWs have often been stigmatised or been socially ostracised during pandemics. Providing PPE, housing allowance, equal training opportunities, transportation allowance, improving salaries (paid on time and for a broad range of services) and awards in high-profile public events contributed to better recruitment and retention. We also created inventories of resources with guiding notes on guidelines for health workers (n=24), self-isolation in the community (n=10) and information, education and counselling materials on COVID-19 (n=16).ConclusionsCHWs play a critical role in pandemics. It is important to ensure role clarity, training, supportive supervision, as well as their work satisfaction, health and well-being. More implementation research on CHWs in pandemics is required.

O ensaio busca confrontar o projeto de cidadania, contido no ideário da Reforma Urbana, com os rumos da política urbana brasileira, local e nacional, direcionada para a ampliação dos direitos de acesso à cidade. A análise tem como foco as políticas de regularização e urbanização de assentamentos populares, tendo em vista o lugar central que ocupa, hoje, a ilegalidade da moradia na formulação da questão urbana brasileira e nas ações públicas daí decorrentes. Trata-se de uma avaliação dos princípios das políticas em curso e de seus efeitos no campo valorativo do ideal igualitário. Parte-se da idéia de que os instrumentos legais acionados nos assentamentos, particularmente a Zeis, carregam princípios contraditórios. Questiona-se em que medida as normas e os padrões específicos instituídos nesses territórios institucionalizam duas classes de cidadãos, ou seja, duas referências de bem-estar, de direito social e de direito de propriedade; ambas legais e legítimas. Busca-se contribuir com o debate sobre as possibilidades de “convivência” entre igualdade e diferença, ou mesmo entre igualdade e liberdade, numa sociedade hierarquizada e profundamente desigual, onde a diferença é a expressão da inferioridade dos pobres.Palavras-chave: cidadania; política urbana; habitação. Abstract: The essay searches to confront the project of citizenship, contained in the Urban Reform ideal, with the directions of the Brazilian urban policies, local and national, addressed for the enlargement of the access rights to the city. The analysis has as focus the regularization and urbanization policies in low income areas, based on the central place that occupies, today, the housing illegality in the formulation of the Brazilian urban question and public actions. So, the work is about an evaluation of the principles of the urban policies in course and not of their objective results. The main idea is that the legal instruments used in the poor areas, particularly the Zeis, load contradictory principles. It is questioned in what measure the legal norms and the specific urban patterns instituted in these territories institutionalize two classes of citizens, or two references of welfare, social right and property right; both legal and legitimate ones. One searches to contribute in the debate on the possibilities of “conviviality” between equality and difference, or even, between equality and freedom, in a deeply hierarchical and unequal society, where the difference is the expression of the inferiority of the poor classes.Keywords: citizenship; urban policy; housing.

Con frecuencia, los imaginarios urbanos aluden a determinadas visiones colectivas compartidas y de carácter costumbrista que aportan a la construcción social de la ciudad.
En la ciudad de Mar del Plata en el periodo 1970-1990, los Conjuntos Habitacionales (CH) constituyeron la forma predominante de producción de vivienda masiva. Esta modalidad habitacional, fue sustentada desde una concepción rígida y totalizante del desarrollo urbano, afín a los preceptos básicos de la planificación tradicional.
El trabajo analiza el proceso de gestión-producción de Conjuntos Habitacionales del área noroeste de la ciudad de Mar del Plata, en donde agentes ligados a intereses inmobiliarios articularon una producción ficticia de planes particularizados, normativas y operatorias que generaron expectativas de urbanización; repercutiendo en los precios del suelo con la generación de rentas territoriales bajo la forma de grandes proyectos de vivienda y políticas de urbanización.

Full textAbstract:
The development of social housing In Mexico during the last decade has been supported by the different levels of government (federal, state, and municipal) in order to assist low-income families. The accelerated construction that takes place in order to address the housing deficit causes a reduction in the quality of design and construction, which is also affected by rising building costs. Environmental comfort conditions inside the dwellings are reduced drastically when houses are constructed without considering climate conditions, especially in hot arid regions. This situation generates uncomfortable thermal conditions for users and high-energy costs due to the unavoidable need of air conditioning. User profiles, architectural program, comfort preferences and guidelines for design and construction of future dwellings in the city of Hermosillo, in northwest Mexico, were determined by surveying beneficiaries of government affordable housing programs. One survey measured the degree of satisfaction of inhabitants in a sample of over 370 households; a second survey sampled 200 households and was aimed at determining aspects of comfort. This paper describes the results of thermal simulations carried out on two housing models. The first model represents the type usually constructed by commercial developers, and the second is a proposal developed by the research team according to guidelines based on the results of the research project described before. This study is a preliminary step in the construction of a physical model for experimental research and demonstration.
