Hydrochemical Research and Geochemical Classification of Salt Lakes in the Pavlodar Region

This paper presents the results of a study of the macrocomponent composition of 15 salt lakes of the Pavlodar region. For the first time, based on the data of the chemical composition and pH of the waters, the geochemical classification of the lakes of this region has been proposed. The study shows that the majority of the analyzed objects are lakes of chloride type with sodium cationic composition

The use of plants with high antioxidant activity in cooking

The quality of food has a significant impact on human health and longevity. Antioxidants are found in large quantities in herbaceous plants. Therefore, foods with high antioxidant activity can be considered one aspect of their quality. Antioxidants, in turn, are a form of activity that inhibits the free-radical oxidative processes that occur in living organisms. Consumption of foods high in antioxidants helps maintain normal human health. Antioxidants are used as food supplements or in prepared meals. Therefore, this article discusses the preparation of food using herbs with high antioxidant activity, based on which the antioxidant content of the finished food, vitamin E indicators. Especially in terms of antioxidant content, it is contained in higher amounts in sweet mint bread products than in dill

Inequalities in health care use and expenditures: empirical data from eight developing countries and countries in transition

This paper summarizes eight country studies of inequality in the health sector. The analyses use household data to examine the distribution of service use and health expenditures. Each study divides the population into "income" quintiles, estimated using consumption expenditures. The studies measure inequality in the use of and spending on health services. Richer groups are found to have a higher probability of obtaining care when sick, to be more likely to be seen by a doctor, and to have a higher probability of receiving medicines when they are ill, than the poorer groups. The richer also spend more in absolute terms on care. In several instances there are unexpected findings. There is no consistent pattern in the use of private providers. Richer households do not devote a consistently higher percentage of their consumption expenditures to health care. The analyses indicate that intuition concerning inequalities could result in misguided decisions. It would thus be worthwhile to measure inequality to inform policy-making. Additional research could be performed using a common methodology for the collection of data and applying more sophisticated analytical techniques. These analyses could be used to measure the impact of health policy changes on inequality
