The relevance of the subject matter in this study is conditioned by a high degree of risk of spring floods in Akmola region, significant damage to the economy of the region and the need to develop and implement effective measures to counteract this natural situation. The purpose of the study is to develop a proper assessment of the environmental risk of spring floods and their consequences in the flooded areas of Akmola region. The methodological approach in this study is based on a combination of system analysis methods. They analyse the degrOctober 2023ee of probability of various kinds of environmental risks caused by spring floods and investigate the regularities of development of negative consequences of floods as a whole and in Akmola Region of the Republic of Kazakhstan in particular. In the course of this study, findings have been made indicating the serious consequences of spring floods for economic activity in the areas affected by seasonal flooding of water bodies. The findings also indicate the need to develop and implement specific measures to prevent spring floods caused by serious disturbances to economic activity in water protection zones. The findings of this study and the scientific conclusions drawn from them are of significant practical significance for agricultural workers in Akmola region, who have to cope with the consequences of spring floods in the area where they operate.

Climate change affects human health, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) incidence is one of the health impacts of climate change. This study is a retrospective cohort study. Data have been collected from the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education between 17 February 2016 and17 February 2018. The Neural Network Model has been used to predict SARS infection. Based on the results of the multivariate Poisson regression and the analysis of the coexistence of the variables, the minimum daily temperature was positively associated with the risk of SARS in men and women. The risk of SARS has increased in women and men with increasing daily rainfall. According to the result, by changes in bioclimatic parameters, the number of SARS patients will be increased in cities of Iran. Our study has shown a significant relationship between SARS and the climatic variables by the type of climate and gender. The estimates suggest that hospital admissions for climate-related respiratory diseases in Iran will increase by 36% from 2020 to 2050. This study demonstrates one of the health impacts of climate change. Policymakers can control the risks of climate change by mitigation and adaptation strategists.

“…Climate change is expected to intensify as a result of unmitigated environmental changes (WHO, 2009b), something that can lead to increased infectious-disease burdens in the future (UN, 2007), especially for water-borne diseases like HAV (Pal et al, 2016;Bahrami et al, 2020;Desbordes, 2021). Given the tendency of impacts of this kind targeting children, the poor and women (WHO, 2014), new healthcare policies and strategies should be promoted to encompass differences in populations, e.g., gender (Marcheggiani et al, 2010).…”

“…mainly food and water (Saker et al, 2002;WHO, 2011;Kurup et al, 2019). For some countries, HAV appears to be more closely related to developed regions, especially for those with high population densities (O'Brien and Xagoraraki, 2019), while for other countries, such as Brazil, it appears to be more closely related to less developed regions (Stoitsova et al, 2015;Pal et al, 2016;Santos et al, 2019;Bahrami et al, 2020). Therefore, it is utterly important to account for the spatiotemporal dynamics of this and other water-borne diseases (Desbordes, 2021) in order to achieve a better understanding of the main transmission patterns leading to more effective control strategies (Zimmerman et al, 2011;WHO, 2014).…”

Hepatitis-A virus is a worldwide healthcare problem, mainly affecting countries with poor sanitary and socioeconomic conditions. This communication evaluates the spatiotemporal variability of the disease’s socioepidemiological profile in one of the endemic Brazilian regions (Pará State) prior to (2008-2013) and after (2014-2017) the launch of the national public vaccination programme. Hepatitis-A epidemiological reports concerning Pará State - Brazil - were used for this study including municipalitylevel data of the disease’s reported positive notification cases (PNCs). The analyses involved socioepidemiological profiling and space-time scan statistics. A total of 5500 PNCs were reported in the study period. On average, PNCs decreased over time throughout the state, with strongest drops after 2015. The PNCs were specific for gender, race/ethnic origin and age group. The predominant gender and race/ethnic groups was male and brown, respectively. While children were the most susceptible age group prior to 2015, there was a shift towards older ages (young and adults) in later years. Those found to be the most affected by the disease, as shown by space-time scan statistics, were people in densely populated municipalities with unsatisfactory sanitary conditions and also less well covered by the public vaccination programme. Despite drops in the number of hepatitis-A PNCs, thanks to the national vaccination programme, the disease still persists in Pará State and elsewhere in Brazil. The present study reinforces the need of continuous prevention and control strategies for effective control and erradication of hepatitis-A.
