Implementation Of The Strategy

The article considers the issue of monitoring and evaluation of measures within the National Strategy for Health-Improving Physical Activity in Ukraine «Physical Activity - Healthy Lifestyle - Healthy Nation» for the period up to 2025 in the context of governance. It is determined that the public administration activities of authorities at all levels on implementation of the measures of this strategy are based on the principles of international law and constitutional and regulatory support. The article substantiates that public relations in the field of health-improving physical activity in Ukraine are regulated by UN Conventions, WHO guidelines for national governments, the Constitution of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine, governmental and sectorial regulations, and resolutions of local authorities and local governments. A number of features that nowadays characterize aspects of practical implementation and enforcement of the National Strategy for Health-Improving Physical Activity in Ukraine at the regional level have been identified. It has been established that: (1) participation of regions in the implementation of the strategy is non-consolidated; (2) in some regions there is no correlation between the content of the plans for the implementation of the strategy and the content of the relevant reports; (3) at the regional level, the development of physical culture and health infrastructure is asymmetric; (4) over the past three years, there has been a positive trend in involving local administrations in the development and approval of regional plans for the implementation of the strategy; (5) over the years of implementation of the strategy, the openness of the authorities to disclose the content of activities to members of the public has a positive trend. The most consistent cooperation of authorities on the implementation of the strategy is observed in such regions as Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Khmelnytsk.

The present article analyzes theoretical aspects of the issues of health-improving physical activity in various branches of science (physical culture and sports, pedagogical and medical sciences). Emphasis is placed on the insufficient development of the chosen topic in the field of public administration discipline. The applied content of the implementation of public administration function in the field of health-improving physical activity is covered through the prism of the globalization approach (WHO guidelines) and the national dimension (National Strategy for health-improving physical activity in Ukraine until 2025). From the standpoint of the globalization dimension, the typology ofhealth-improving physical activity and the main sectors of public administration impact (leisure, occupation, education, life, transport, and employment) are determined. It is substantiated that the public policy of Ukraine in the field of physical activity is formed and implemented on the basis of the following mechanisms: legal mechanism (legislative support for the implementation of public policy measures in this area); institutional mechanism (formation of sports facilities infrastructure easily accessible for different segments of the population; development of conditions for physical activity in the field of education, labor, and leisure); coordination mechanism (interaction of public authorities and local governments as well as intersegmental and intersectoral cooperation in the implementation of targeted activities); socio-psychological mechanism (formation of values and motor competence among the target population); information and communication mechanism (creation of a social media space to promote the benefits of health-improving physical activity); and mechanisms of research support, monitoring and evaluation (development of indicators to assess the level of physical health of various population groups and assess the quality of services for physical fitness). The relevance of a thorough study of the managerial powers of local authorities to implement policies in the field of physical activity at the level of global cities in Ukraine has been confirmed.

The design, assessment, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of health policy programs Health policy programs (HPP) are since 2004 one of the available paths of implementing public health tasks by local government units (LGUs). The design, assessment, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of HPP is regulated by the Act on the provision of health services financed from public funds. In 2009 an obligation to receive opinions on HPP projects from the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariffs (AOTMiT, agency) has been introduced. Considering the increasing trend of HPP projects numbers sent for opinionizing by the Agency, this form of healthrelated activity is more frequently and willingly chosen by local government units. The experience of both LGUs and the Agency related to previously executed HPP in Poland indicates, that despite statutory changes and attempts to clarify the entries regarding this form of public health tasks in Poland, questions and doubts regarding the design, assessment and implementation of HPP still occur. Another issue discussed by the experts is whether HPP should become a mandatory task of local governments or whether they only supplement the public health system. In addition, an important subject of discussion by public health experts concerns the evaluation of health policy programs. There is an emphasis on the importance of designing HPP in a way that ensures implementation and performing actions that bring long-term health effects in the population. It also seems important to support this form of local governments activity in both substantive and financial terms. The Agency is one of the institutions that has an important role to play in supporting local government units in developing HPP projects of the highest quality, which has a direct impact on their effectiveness, satisfying health needs and improving the health of the population.

In developing a business, one of the main instruments is capital. Adequacy of capital can create a problem for business actors including traditional market traders. The many sources of capital in the community cause traders to make preferences in determining the right source of capital. Among the capital sources that are still developing among the community, especially the Wage market traders, are moneylenders. Moneylenders are still an alternative choice for wage market traders with an amount of 11%, because of several things including: ease in the loan process, without conditions, unlimited space and time. But even that convenience is inseparable from the problems that have arisen. Therefore, the government, in this case the OJK, has made several efforts to protect the public from loan sharks through the OJK education magazine, pamphlets, banners, and direct socialization to the public. To strengthen the destination of banks or non-bank financial institutions, 8 strategies and 1 monitoring and evaluation need to be adopted from the strategy of strengthening tourist destinations by BI, OJK, local governments.

Modern trends in the deterioration of health and the growth of non-communicable diseases among the adult working-age population, including medical workers, actualize the importance of a healthy lifestyle for maintaining health and professional longevity. There were almost no studies related to cosmetologists' experienced group as representatives of aesthetic medicine. There is no scientific evidence on behavioral risks of this group. It justifies the relevance of this study. The study aims to analyze the essential components of the cosmetologists' lifestyle depending on age and the argumentation of priority behavioral health risk factors for preventive and recreational work justification. Sixty women (practicing cosmetologists in Volgograd at the age of 28-39 years (group A) and 40-53 (group B)) took part in the study. Lifestyle assessment included a modified questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 5 blocks (block 1 - nutrition; 2 - physical activity, including hardening and active rest; 3 - daily regimen; 4 - personal hygiene; 5 - bad habits). It allows the analysis of the adherence to a healthy lifestyle based on the provision of quantitative data. Statistical data processing was carried out using the Excel package. The authors identified the essential and statistically significant differences in the cosmetologists' lifestyle depending on age. The respondents of group B demonstrated hygienically rational indicators in all blocks of the lifestyle more often. They had a more formed adherence to a healthy lifestyle: 504 answers in the category "insignificant risk" of respondents in group B versus 354 in group A. Distribution of answers in the "high risk" category: 119 responses in group B and 185 in group A. The lifestyle of 46.7% of the respondents in group B refers to a healthy lifestyle. 3.3% of the group B respondents have an anxious lifestyle, 50% have health risks. 10% of Group A respondents' lifestyle refers to a healthy lifestyle. 13.3% of Group A respondents' lifestyle refers to an anxious lifestyle; 76.7% of this group have health risks. There was almost no complex hygienic research profession of medical cosmetologists. Cosmetologists of the older age group (40-53 years old) are more conscious of maintaining a hygienically rational lifestyle. The most significant defects among cosmetologists aged 28-39 years are low physical activity, nutritional defects, insufficient duration of night rest, and excessive use of information and communication technologies for rest, accompanied by manifestations of neurotization and signs of pronounced fatigue. The obtained results argue the need to develop and implement informational and educational measures to prevent risk behavior patterns, taking into account the age of cosmetologists and the priority of the identified behavioral risk factors.

In Slovenia, the role of general practitioners in counselling physical activity for prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well recognized. The role of general practitioners in advising healthy lifestyle for individuals who are at risk of developing CVD is formally defined in the National Program for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, which has been running since 2001. Part of the program is counselling on healthy lifestyle including physical activity, performed in all health centres across the country. First a screening and medical examination is performed. In case of higher risk for CVD (>20%) the physician should give advice on the particular risk factor and direct patients to health-education centres, where they can participate in healthy lifestyle workshops lead by health professionals. Physicians and other health professionals who are involved in the implementation of prevention activities within the program need knowledge and skills that are crucial for successful counselling on healthy lifestyle. The educational program “basic education in health promotion and prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases in primary health care/family medicine” consists of two parts. The first part of the training is open to all health professionals working within the program. The second part is intended for health professionals working in health-education workshops. In the last few years a new family practice model has been introduced and disseminated. Some duties of the family physician, including health promotion and counselling, are being transferred to graduate nurses who become part of the family practice team. This new division of work undoubtedly brings many advantages, both in terms of the work organization, and of high-quality patient care. Nevertheless preventive action cannot be fully passed on to graduate nurses. Careful planning and education are needed to ensure a comprehensive approach in healthy life style counselling.

Modern society is witnessing a data revolution which necessarily entails changes to the overall behavior of citizens, governments and companies. This is a big challenge and an opportunity for National Statistics Offices (NSOs). Especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, when the public debate about the number of mortalities and tested and infected persons escalated, trusted data is required more than ever. Which data can modern society trust? Are modern societies being subjected to opinion rather than fact? This paper introduces a new statistical tool to facilitate policy-making based on trusted statistics. Using economic indicators to illustrate implementation, the new statistical tool is shown to be a flexible instrument for analysis, monitoring and evaluation of the economic situation in the Republic of Serbia. By taking a role in public policy management, the tool can be used to transform the NSO’s role in the statistical system into an active participant in public debate in contrast to the previous traditional, usually passive role of collecting, processing and publishing data. The tool supports the integration of statistics into public policies and connects the knowledge and expertise of official statisticians on one side with political decision makers on the other.

Surface Receptors

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), α- and β-defensins, possess antiviral properties. These AMPs achieve viral inhibition through different mechanisms of action. For example, they can: (i) bind directly to virions; (ii) bind to and modulate host cell-surface receptors, disrupting intracellular signaling; (iii) function as chemokines to augment and alter adaptive immune responses. Given their antiviral properties and the fact that the development of an effective coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment is an urgent public health priority, they and their derivatives are being explored as potential therapies against COVID-19. These explorations using various strategies, range from their direct interaction with the virus to using them as vaccine adjuvants. However, AMPs do not work in isolation, specifically in their role as potent immune modulators, where they interact with toll-like receptors (TLRs) and chemokine receptors. Both of these receptors have been shown to play roles in COVID-19 pathogenesis. In addition, it is known that a healthy lifestyle accompanied by controlled physical activity can represent a natural weapon against COVID-19. In competitive athletes, an increase in serum defensins has been shown to function as self-protection from the attack of microorganisms, consequently a controlled physical activity could act as a support to any therapies in fighting COVID-19. Therefore, including information on all these players’ interactions would produce a complete picture of AMP-based therapies’ response.
