We study how health behaviors are shaped through family spillovers. We leverage administrative data to identify the effects of health shocks on family members’ consumption of preventive care and health-related behaviors, constructing counterfactuals for affected households using households that experience the same shock but a few years in the future. Spouses and adult children immediately improve their health behaviors and their responses are both significant and persistent. These spillovers are far-reaching as they cascade even to coworkers. While some responses are consistent with learning information about one’s own health, the evidence points to salience as a major operative explanation. (JEL D15, D83, I12, J12)

In this article, the authors attempted to comprehend how the level of psychological well-being and the image of the future in students is transformed in the context of acute social uncertainty associated with the coronavirus epidemic. To answer this problematic question, we turned to the analysis of the need-motivational-semantic sphere of students before the pandemic and after the end of the self-isolation of Russian citizens. The study was carried out in two stages. At the first stage (October 2019), 185 students of Kostroma State University (M = 20,1; SD = 1,3) were interviewed on the subject of how they understand the phenomenon of psychological well-being, after which 45 respondents (M = 19,7; SD = 0,8) were asked for filling in the method «Color metaphors» by I. L. Solomin. At the second stage (January 2021), the study was carried out according to a similar algorithm (N1 = 185; M = 20,4; SD = 0,6; N2 = 45; M = 19,3; SD = 1,1). It is shown that the coronavirus pandemic and the associated self-isolation have become a context that influenced the change in the structure of connections between meaning-forming categories in the need-motivational-semantic sphere of students. The weakening of the tightness of connections between semantic categories in the minds of the respondents serves as an indicator of students' disorientation in psychological time and space, a marker of the emergence of problems in setting goals, defining meaning and seeing oneself. First of all, this is reflected in the idea of the future, oneself in the future, happiness as the category most closely related to well-being. The image of the future has become less concretized and blurred. In the psychological time space, values-goals became less significant, but values-resources became actualized («love», «family», «health», «entertainment» , «communication», «development», «money»), i.e. that helps to feel stability, comfort, increases confidence in the future and helps to distract from the oppressive atmosphere.

Background: There is a significant shortage of genomics training curricula targeting health education (HE) students. This study assessed the impact of an online theory-based genomics short course focusing on family health history (FHH) to undergraduate HE students. Materials & methods: Junior and senior HE students (n = 69) at a research-intensive university completed the course and took the pre- and post-course surveys. Results: Participants demonstrated positive improvements in their scores regarding FHH knowledge as well as attitudes, intention and confidence in adopting FHH-based genomics skills into future practice. They also showed satisfaction with the genomics course. Conclusion: Based on the initial success of the results, offering this genomics course to more HE students for further testing is recommended in the future.

A tanulmány két – 2007-ben és 2015-ben készített – a fiatalok jövőre vonatkozó elvárásait felmérő empirikus vizsgálat eredményeit hasonlítja össze. A kérdéskörök átfogják a jövőtervezés (oktatás, munka, migráció), a személyes tér (család, egészség, sport, alternatív gyógymódok, spiritualizmus, jótékonykodás), valamint atársadalom és a környezet (életszínvonal, munkanélküliség, új atomerőmű, hulladékgyűjtés, víz jelentősége) aktuális és egyre fontosabbá váló problémaköreit. A válaszolók vélekedése részben kritika a jelenről és reális kép a jövőről.*The study compares the results of two empiric surveys made in 2007 and 2015 on young people’s expectations concerning the future. The questions cover the current fields of future planning (education, work and migration), the personal scope (family, health, sports, alternative medicine, spiritualism and charity) and the society and the environment (living standard, unemployment, new atomic power plant) that are growing more and more important. The responses given partly reflect the criticism of the present and a realistic picture of the future.

A symposium on the future of the International Latitude Service (I. L. S.) is to be held in Helsinki in July 1960. My report for the symposium consists of two parts. Part I, denoded (Mk I) was published [1] earlier in 1960 under the title “Latitude and Longitude, and the Secular Motion of the Pole”. Part II is the present paper, denoded (Mk II).

Second-epoch photographs have now been obtained for nearly 850 of the 1246 fields of the proper motion program with centers at declination -20° and northwards. For the sky at 0° and northward only 130 fields remain to be taken in the next year or two. The 270 southern fields with centers at -5° to -20° remain for the future.
