The findings of lighting engineering and physiologic studies showed that optimal conditions for the children working on computers should be ensured by two interdependent indicators, i. e.

[Hygienic electrooculographic evaluation of working conditions of school children using a computer].

The technique for the electrooculographic analysis of the visual system of schoolchildren working with computers is described.

[Biorhythm bases for structuring the human nutritional regimen].

Individual rhythm of physiological function and nutritional regimen were investigated in 194 persons and in 112 of them concordance between the time-periods of emerging requirement for ingestion of food and its actual satisfaction was studied additionally. The rhythm of nutritional requirement is significantly different in representatives of the "morning" and "evening" groups, whereas the satisfaction of this requirement is conditioned by microsocial factors. This implies the need for framing nutritional patterns on the biorhythmological basis.
