[Climate and ecologic state of urban areas in Eastern Kazakhstan].

Ust-Kamenogorsk territory was demonstrated to have climate peculiarities depending on local relief and unfavorable wind conditions of ventilation, that could promote formation of highly chemically loaded zones. Suggested evaluation methods provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of climate parameters for individual areas of residence. Marking areas according to residence comfort for population, based on analysis of geographic position of the studied territory, in accordance with repetition of meteorologic processes, could specify major factors influencing climate on urban territories of modem Kazakhstan cities.

[Problems in the individual adaptation of working women].

The mechanisms of development of dysadaptive changes were revealed in factory workers in relation to congenital personality traits and the schemes of individual adaptation strategies were defined. At the same time increased anxiety leading to the accelerated rates of aging preceded impaired adaptive processes. The differences in the female adaptive patterns were determined by both the degree of emotional stability and the baseline energy capacities of the cardiorespiratory system and the involvement of a mental component in adaptation.

[Individuality of professional adaptation in females engaged in industry].

Heavy female manual labor at a coal-cleaning plant was found to be under the influence of a complex of unfavorable factors. Nervous and emotional stress was deteriorated by the presence of conflict situations and dissatisfaction with relationships in the collective body. Three groups of patients differing in the health status and physical fitness were identified depending on the level of emotional stability.

[Combined influence of occupational factors on chronical morbidity parameters among female workers of coal-cleaning plants].

The authors presented hygienic characteristics of work conditions for women in coal-cleaning plants, defined priority occupational hazards. Work conditions determined structure and prevalence of somatic chronic diseases among major occupational groups of female workers.

[The immunological status indices of monkeys inoculated with a meningococcal B vaccine].

The method for the determination of bacterial antibodies to group B meningococci was worked out. The method was used for the determination of antibodies to group B meningococcal vaccine produced in the USSR. The dynamic study of antibodies to protein, polysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide antigens of group B meningococci was made by the method of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and the safety of the vaccine was studied by the determination of autoantibodies active against brain tissue antigens.
