Pilot study on creating an urban environment that controls the spread of virus
Статья научная
According to findings to date, appropriate measures for prevention and treatment concerning the novel coronavirus Covid-19, have been based on medicine. The author however noted that it is necessary to not only depend on medical treatments, but also to harness the power of nature to full advantage such as circulation of the atmosphere and mutual interference in the ecosystem by focusing on densely populated urban environments, to control viral outbreaks and their diffusion. This pilot study therefore presents a new view by shifting the perspective on the urban environment beyond that of medicine to mitigate the spread of virus.

Public mental health promotion, epigenetics and nacuheal-activities
Статья научная
Public Mental Health Promotion in the Light of new Epigenetic Research, Environment and Lifestyle may have impact on our genes both today and in the future. Resent epigenetic researches indicate that our genes may turn on and off as consequence of the way we are living. Health Promotion and salutogenesis therefore may have a positive impact on our genes. Nature - Culture - Health - activities (NaCuHeal) are methods that may be useful to prevent both mental and somatic health problems in the future. This paper explains through research and practical examples how and why health promoting nature and culture activities can improve the mental and physical health of the general public.

The history of air pollution and its future
Статья научная
The history of air pollution originates in the XIII century, when in London fossil coal began to be used by artisans and craftsmen; it continues through the main events of the first and the second industrial revolution that led to great benefits for mankind but entailed an increasing consumption of coal, dissemination of air pollutants and degradation of the envi ronment. The situation became more alarming in many countries after the Second World War, as a consequence of indus trial development, rapid urban sprawl and new unexpected environmental phenomena that occurred in the sixties and the seventies. Today, an integrated approach and renewed awareness of this troubled history will be needed to face the envi ronmental issues as a whole, with a reconsideration of some models of development that are strongly affecting our society, in the attempt to retrieve harmonious relationships that have been lost in many aspects of life.

The quest for land at Piranema sand cluster
Статья научная
The Piranema Sand Cluster, located between the Seropédica and Itaguaí counties of Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, is responsible for 65% of the sand used in construction works of the region and is the home of approximately 47 small mining companies. The construction works in progress in this area make this mining district a critical success factor for these new or expanding ventures, for prices of construction sand increases tremendously with delivery distance. These undergoing works attract many people to the region, increasing the need for urban infrastructure to house them. This search for land comes from mining sites and causes difficulties in obtaining local permits, which are the first step in environmental compliance of the mining activities. The discussion of this paradox: «cheap aggregates for urban infrastructure and the displacement of mining to make room for the installation of these infrastructures», must be based on a Future Use Project for this area, seeking consensus among communities, mining, government and other stakeholders...

The year of ecology in Russia is an opportunity to reflect the global environmental problems and to integrate the related conclusions and the demands of inhabitants and tourists on the geographical and related ecological characteristics for health-oriented recreation into the concepts for natural management. This would be a strategy for a comprehensive sustainable development. But not all fundamentals for such a concept are available. There is a special lack in the relevance of subjectively attributed aspects: «Some know the price of all but the value of nothing». So it is relevant to integrate perceiving, beauty, esthetics etc. into the characterization of ecological and manmade geographical units - thanks to an Extended View as well on the person as on the environment.

This report emerged from the experiences and observations of the authors who explored fundamental features of NCT and accounted for production and essential understanding of its realm of welcome properties. N-chlorotaurine (NCT) is an endogenous mild active chlorine compound, which can be synthesized chemically and applied topically as an effective anti- infective and antiseptic to different body sites. Naturally, it is produced by activated human granulocytes and monocytes during the oxidative burst. Besides the typical broad-spectrum microbicidal activity of chloramines against all kinds of microorganisms, it has anti-inflammatory properties and is involved in termination of inflammation. Because of its high tolerability and absence of systemic adverse effects due to decay to ubiquitous taurine and chloride, it can be used in sensitive body regions, too, for instance the eye, body cavities and lower airways. The latter renders NCT inhalation a promising means for the prevention and treatment of viral pneumonia including SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19), chronic bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis. Further clinical development is urgently needed to characterize the preventive and therapeutic effects in detail. Particularly the time of the present pandemic confirmed how difficult recognition and support of innovations frequently is.

Threshold assumption in A-bomb and nuclear power plant lawsuits
Статья научная
This study aims to examine the possibility of calculating damages for the health effects of lowdose radiation exposure under an untraditional tort doctrine. This is because nuclear damage is a specific type of damage that has no precedent in Japan. In the A-Bomb «Black Rain» Lawsuit, the Hiroshima High Court extensively ruled that the health effects of internal radiation exposure were acceptable, without relying on scientific dose estimates. This is a different decision from the precedent in similar cases. This paper argues that the Hiroshima case is beneficial to the relief of the Hibakusha. However, the Hiroshima case did not deal with specific considerations of the threshold assumption and made a qualitative decision. And this had a negative impact on the Nagasaki judgement. In other words, the Nagasaki case led to an underestimation of the health effects of lowdose radiation exposure and, as a result, the scope of relief for Hibakusha was limited.

Статья научная
The aim of this paper is to give an generell overview of water and health. Furthermore it enlightened which discipline are involved in serving good quality water to public and industry. However there are still a problems, especially in developing countries. A touch of the history of sanitation during from Roman Times over Middle Age to Modern Times gives an insight view what was achieved and what was lost. To manage all the problems with water and wastewater, a profound knowledge about the water itself, it occurrence in time and the required technology in drink water and wastewater treatment is nec essary. Despite all these achievement, many people in developing countries suffer on water related diseases, especially in hot climate.

В условиях обостряющихся противоречий между состоянием критически измененной социо - природной среды и возможностями современного человека приспосабливаться к новым стремительно возникающим вызовам и стрессорам нарастает потребность поиска новых техник расширения «внутренних пределов» (А.Печчеи) человека, его адаптационного потенциала. В работе представлены современные научные данные, подтверждающие возможность и необходимость применения принципов и технологий междисциплинарного направления - адаптационной медицины в жизни каждого человека любого возраста и состояния здоровья. Накопленный фактический материал с момента появления теории Г. Селье и по настоящее время доказывает эффективность феномена управляемой долгосрочной перекрестной адаптации в качестве профилактического и терапевтического средства, способного подготовить и защитить организм от повреждающих воздействий окружающей среды. Обсуждается проблема индивидуального дозирования процедур, основанных на принципах адаптационной медицины, как основного фактора, ограничивающего их широкое применение. Критерии оценки адекватности происходящих адаптивных изменений должны базироваться на глубоком понимании лежащих в их основе механизмов на разных уровнях: молекулярном, клеточном, организменном, социальном и рассматриваться в совокупности, с позиций системного подхода.
