RESUMO
In order to identify the basic patterns of behavior that reflect the attitude of Russians to their health, a large corpus of relevant scientific literature was analyzed, as well as actual statistical data and the results of representative sociological studies concerning various aspects of both self-preserving and self-destructive behavior of Russians. As a result, four basic models of behavior were formed and described, which differ in a set of positive and negative attitudes and characteristic lines of behavior in relation to one's health («a convinced healthy lifestyle person¼, «a beginner healthy lifestyle person¼, «irresponsible¼ and «self-destructive¼). Based on the analysis of statistics and sociological information, it was concluded that even the behavioral model of a «beginner healthy lifestyle person¼ is implemented by a very minority of Russians. At best, the majority of the population adheres to the «irresponsible¼ pattern of behavior that involves refusing or reducing the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, but not assuming a rational diet, adequate sleep, physical and medical activity. Hence the task of everyone who has the opportunity to influence citizens, including medical workers, to convey to them the idea that health and longevity are achieved only through systematic and comprehensive efforts. In addition, a number of common misconceptions and unrealistic expectations related to healthy lifestyles were highlighted. Attention is drawn to the fact that subjects capable of exerting an educational impact on citizens, including medical specialists, should not only provide patients with useful knowledge, but also try to protect them from misconceptions and unfounded expectations.

Residents of a megalopolis are constantly exposed to urban stress - the combined effects of a number of different extreme factors and living conditions of the urban environment. Urban stress of a megalopolis resident has an extreme complex multifactorial effect on his body and psyche. The features of the existing subspecies of urban stress (ecological, psychological, social, informational, professional, related to the pandemic), as well as the main stress factors causing them, are considered. The medical and social features of urban stress are described. The consequences of exposure to urban stress, directly related to human health disorders, include the so-called «urban stress diseases¼ or «diseases of civilization¼, primarily psychosomatic diseases. It is determined that urban stress is a multifactorial complex of stress factors affecting the physical and mental health of megalopolis residents. Due to the fact that an increasing number of megalopolis residents are experiencing the negative impact of an aggressive urban environment, it is necessary both to formalize stress factors in order to possibly correct them to improve the quality of life of citizens, and to develop appropriate optimizing medical and social recommendations. Modern organizational and medical and social measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of urban stress on the health of megalopolis residents are considered. It is proposed to minimize the negative impact of extreme urban stress factors on the physical and mental health of megalopolis residents by using therapeutic and preventive strategies to increase their stress resistance. There are a number of different organizations and departments in Moscow that provide psychological and psychotherapeutic support. Also, in order to determine the level of the body's reserves and stress resistance, it is possible to undergo a comprehensive examination both in the nearest polyclinic and in the nearest park within the framework of the Healthy Moscow program.

Reduction in the medical labor reserve leads to economic losses, therefore, the issue related to medical personnel health improvement is relevant at all management levels in healthcare. The article presents results of the survey of doctors in Moscow, reflecting their own attitude to a healthy lifestyle and related self-preserving behavior patterns. The searches focused on the analysis of activities of medical workers related to health improvement and promotion and analysis of psychosocial attitudes of medical workers. The article presents results of the survey of doctors of different specialty providing primary health care at Moscow polyclinics. The survey used Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, HPLP-II. HPLP-II is actively used by both foreign and Russian scientists. It has been validated on the Russian sample. Respondents give their responses scoring the degree of their agreement with an item by the following blocks (health responsibility, physical activity, spiritual growth, nutrition, interpersonal relations and stress management). Using this questionnaire, the authors have evaluated healthy lifestyle of medical workers as a multicomponent structure for better understanding of major priorities in self-preservation behavior of physicians. Based on the survey results, the authors have ranked the scales to identify priority factors affecting the formation of the value-based attitude to healthy lifestyle by medical workers.

The article examines the risks to social perception of health professions in the context of the growing popularity of generative textual and visual neural networks. The article is consistent with the growing body of research that tends to see more risks of this technology, including for healthcare. The second focus of the article - the stereotypes about health professions - is critical, as they have been associated with negative outcomes for the healthcare system. The study primarily focuses on the perception of nursing professionals as most stereotyped by the public. Using uploads from the chatGPT, Kandinsky, and Shedevrum networks, the author has investigated the neural network's embedded perceptions of the nursing profession. Reproduction of certain stereotypes has been identified in all neural networks; the appearance stereotypes (gender, age, race, uniform) are more often shared by visual neural networks, while the function stereotypes (lack of autonomy, dependence on colleagues) - by text networks. Actually, we can assume the risks of a vicious circle, when the network is trained on the largely stereotypical data, and products based on its output increase the scale of stereotypical representations during subsequent training of the neural network. Developers' efforts to avoid reproducing stereotypes are acknowledged, however, the uploads show that they are not fully successful. To prevent the spread of perceptual distortions in neural networks, it is recommended to promote their sociohumanistic evaluation. A «prompt-experiment¼ is proposed as a mechanism for identifying such risks.

Research in the field of public health at the global, national, regional and organizational levels continue to be relevant, attracting attention of the researchers who find new aspects of various problems and issues for consideration and analysis in this area. The paper presents results of a scientometric analytical study of the publication landscape for 2019-2021 in the field of public health, using the analytical platform SciVal, the data source for which is the international scientific database Scopus. The study shows positive dynamics and steady growth in most scientometric indicators in the subject area under consideration during the study period. A structural-functional and semantic-linguistic analysis of the top-50 keywords was also carried out, which showed that their ranking position significantly depends on the choice of one of two indicators: either by the number of publications or by relevance. Publications on public health are characterized by a polythematic distribution, providing researchers with the opportunity to make a wide choice in conducting scientific research in the branches of medical science they are interested in, taking into account scientometric indicators characterizing the publication landscape in these areas.

The article presents an overview of foreign sources devoted to the problems of population aging as a significant phenomenon that has become the most important medical and socio-demographic challenge in the world. The review provides global data on this problem and shows the need for elaborating and implementing active aging strategies, optimizing opportunities for health, participation and safety in order to improve the life quality as people age. The paper employs the method of content analysis of scientific publications retrieved in PubMed database by keywords - «aging¼, «population aging¼, «demographic trend¼, «longevity¼, and «life expectancy¼. Scientific publications for the period 2018-2023, WHO and UN materials, statistical data, and popular scientific publications have been studied. The purpose of the review was to analyze trends and global nature of aging based on scientific publications and open sources, and to highlight the most promising areas of the demographic policy on the older adults. In the time of rapid demographic changes, it is extremely important to use all available opportunities that maximize healthy aging with the participation of the older adults. We should remember that aging is a natural process and it is better to accept it, both psychologically and physically, rather than ignore. Healthy aging should become and has become the main principle of life, suggesting a longer healthy life of the older adults, who, in turn, should understand how to accept and implement this principle in their lives.

INTRODUCTION: The Russian healthcare system is in the process of transformation and changes, trying, on the one hand, to solve the accumulated problems, and on the other hand, to meet the modern agenda in the form of new challenges in the field of healthcare and rapidly developing information technologies. Meanwhile, in the course of ongoing reforms, questions of the formation and development of the intellectual potential of employees of medical organizations remain outside the brackets. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to rethink various approaches to intellectual potential, and to identify trends in this area. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The information base of the study was the Federal State Statistics Service data, as well as a mass questionnaire survey among doctors and nurses. RESULTS: The study showed that the number of residents and graduate students is increasing, while the proportion of those who defended their dissertations is decreasing, so it is premature to talk about the development and growth of the base of intellectual potential in the medical field, this issue requires additional study to develop measures to reverse the situation. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to improve the management efficiency in medical organizations, create a favorable socio-psychological climate in the team. To solve these problems, the authors highlight the necessary areas of work of medical organizations. CONCLUSIONS: The article provides a review of theoretical approaches to the concept of «intellectual potential¼, identification of its role in the development and growth of organizations, methods for assessing its components. The analysis of adaptability of these approaches to the work of medical organizations has been undertaken.

The safety of food production as concerns Listeria is the key to the sanitary wellbeing of manufactured products. Molecular-genetic methods for the analysis of Listeria, including whole-genome sequencing, are effective in monitoring persistent contaminants and in the epidemic investigation of cases of foodborne infections. They have been adopted in the European Union, United States, and Canada. In Russia, multilocus and whole-genome sequencing has proven itself in the analysis of clinical food isolates and Listeria from the environment. The objective of the study was molecular-genetic characterization of Listeria detected in the industrial environment of meat processing. To characterize the Listeria isolates, microbiological methods were used according to GOST (State Standard) 32031-2012, as well as multilocus sequencing, including the analysis of seven housekeeping genes and four virulence genes, as well as whole-genome sequencing. In swabs that were positive for the presence of Listeria spp. taken at two meat-processing plants in Moscow, Listeria monocytogenes constituted 81% and L. welshimeri 19%. The predominant genotype (Sequence Type, ST) of L. monocytogenes was ST8. The variety was supplemented with ST321, ST121, and ST2330 (CC9 (Clonal Complex 9)). L. welshimeri, which prevailed in the second production, was represented by ST1050 and ST2331. The genomic characteristics of L. welshimeri isolates confirmed that they have high adaptive capabilities both as concerns production conditions (including resistance to disinfectants) and the metabolic peculiarities of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. L. monocytogenes CC9 and CC121 are also correlated with food production in other countries. However, L. monocytogenes CC8 and CC321 can cause invasive listeriosis. The concordance in the internalin profile of the ST8 isolates from the industrial environment with the clinical isolates ST8 and ST2096 (CC8) is a cause for concern. The study showed the effectiveness of molecular-genetic methods in determining the diversity of Listeria detected in the production environment of meat processing, and laid the foundation for monitoring of persistent contaminants.
RESUMO
Economic and social losses due to epidemics of non-communicable diseases have put prevention and control of them on the first line in the field of sustainable development of the United Nations. The tasks of combating NCDs and risk factors within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals require targeted actions on the part of States in the field of policy and legislation and provision of health systems with appropriate resources. In the Russian Federation, such work is being implemented within the framework of the national project "Healthcare", federal programs to combat oncological and cardiovascular diseases. Each subject takes into account the peculiarities of economic development, staffing, implementation of informatization processes, etc. The rapid pace of transformation of Moscow healthcare, its unique institutional structure allowed to form the basis for the effective development of a system of proactive dispensary monitoring of patients suffering from chronic diseases. The authors describe the process of formation of preventive work and organization of dynamic dispensary observation in Moscow. The paper presents in detail the organizational, administrative and technological resources used to create a unique system of dynamic dispensary observation. In addition, the article illustrates the personalized subsystem of dynamic dispensary observation in EMIAS and the institute of "physician assistant". The introduction of a proactive dispensary monitoring system will reduce premature mortality and disability among residents of the city. Moscow through an individual monitoring program and motivation for the responsible attitude of metropolitan patients to their health.

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the fact that the medical organization must be aware of the target patient: to know who he is, how and why he wants to receive a particular medical service. All the information received and its analysis will allow us to develop a real scheme of mutually beneficial communication, convenient for each of the parties-the medical organization and the patient, which will allow us to reveal the weaknesses in the work and respond to them in a timely manner. The purpose of the study: to form an assessment of the patient's satisfaction with the medical organization and its services, taking into account the interest, feelings, purpose, arguments and thoughts that appear in the patient from the moment of the first contact with the clinic, with the display of the point of contact in graphic form, in order to minimize all possible obstacles in his route to receiving quality medical services and increasing the economic efficiency of the clinic.

Scientific research and their inclusion in the health care system is an important part of modern medical science. To study the readiness of primary care physicians as well as administration staff to introduce a research component into the national health care system, "The Research Institute for Healthcare Organization and Medical Management of Moscow Healthcare Department" conducted an online survey of two groups of respondents - physicians of primary care settings (n = 593) and heads of outpatient clinics in Moscow (n = 168) in 2021. The results of the study show the insufficient involvement of primary care doctors in research activities in their working places: more than half do not consider scientific activities as a priority, motivating it by the lack of conditions, practical skills, age and health status as well as high level of employment, although they do not reject it in the future. Heads of Moscow primary health care settings demonstrate similar answers. According to their opinion, research activities are poorly represented in organizations of this type, and most likely the situation will not be changed in the near future; about half do not have sufficient information about the number of employees engaged in scientific work and are rarely familiar with their topics (often extensive, represented by various fields of medicine); about one third of managers reported participating in research projects of Moscow City Department of Health. The study made it possible to identify barriers that prevent the introduction of research components into the activities of Moscow primary health care organizations, which should be taken into account when making managerial decisions.

The article deals with topical issues of changing the socio-economic state of citizens under the influence of the situation with the spread of a new coronavirus infection that swept the entire world at the beginning of this year. Currently, society is asking whether people's attitudes to each other will change, how the economic situation in general and the financial situation of citizens will develop, in particular, in the conditions of active use of remote technologies, the development of Internet resources and the transition to digitalization, which are gaining popularity in conditions of self-isolation and restrictions on mass events. The article uses the results of a survey of the research project «Self-organization and mutual assistance in countering the spread of coronavirus infection¼, conducted by the center for research of civil society and the non-profit sector of the Higher School of Economics. The responses of respondents regarding the introduction of digitalization, increasing online opportunities, both in terms of work, training, and entertainment and communication, converge and confirm the prospects for development. However, while volunteers are optimistic about digitalization, representatives of the civilian population are more concerned about strengthening the digital control of the state over the lives of citizens.
