[HYGIENIC REGULATION OF THE USE OF ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE MODERN SCHOOL].

We studied the effect of academic studies with the use a notebook computer and interactive whiteboard on the functional state of an organism of schoolchildren. Using a complex of hygienic and physiological methods of the study we established that regulation of the computer activity of students must take into account not only duration but its intensity either. Design features of a notebook computer were shown both to impede keeping the optimal working posture in primary school children and increase the risk offormation of disorders of vision and musculoskeletal system.

[New methodological approach to hygienic audit of learning and upbringing environment for children in educational institutions].

A methodical approach to the hygienic assessment of the educational environment in children's educational institutions was developed and tested for the objective determination of the level ofsanitary and epidemiological welfare and effective planning of preventive measures with bearing in mind environmental factors which have the most negative impact on children's health.

[Hygienic requirements for work organization of full-day schools].

Physiological and hygienic studies under the conditions of a natural hygienic experiment were conducted to examine different variants of the organization of work of new types of general educational establishments--full-day schools. Over 580 pupils from 5 full-day schools were followed up. Organization of teaching children at full-day schools was found to mainly correspond to the age-related capabilities of pupils from primary and secondary classes.

[The current problems of electromagnetic safety in computer classes].

He paper presents the data on the present-day situation in the computer classes in general educational schools to show electromagnetic safety. It shows that most of 37 classes do not satisfy the requirement of electromagnetic safety and proposes modes of elimination of this danger.

[Topical problems of hygienic certification of computers].

The paper provides evidence that while making a hygienic certification of computers it is necessary to rely not only on their physical and technical data, but on the characteristics obtained by defining the integral physiological parameters of the quality of displayed information perception. According the state standards CaH [symbol: see text] 2.2.

[A rapid method of energy metabolism assessment in the human body using thermovision technology].

Quick method of energy metabolism assessment by direct calorimetry using thermovision technology for momentary registration of thermoreturn from whole human body surface is suggested. For realization this method an algorithm of computer program was developed for processing hundred thousands of points of skin temperature measures and temperature of surrounding environment. This method can be used for assessment of big groups of population.

[Hygienic problems in the use of computers by school children with refractive disorders].

The influence of 0.5-hour computer loading on accommodation, critical frequency of a flicker, vision capacity for work, the function of the central nervous system was studied. Significant functional changes were revealed in schoolchildren with myopia.

[The individual measuring of the health-promoting impact of the sauna on preschoolers].

The paper deals with the role of individual grading of heat loading when preschool children take a sauna. The adaptative reserves of the child's body were determined by thermal imaging just during exposure in the thermal chamber. The time course of the maximum skin temperature, which was determined by a thermal imaging computer, was used as an informative indicator.
