Abstract
Improvement of occupational medical care management is aimed to preserve workers' health through better prevention, early diagnosis and rehabilitation of occupational diseases. Strategic directions of occupational pathology service development are improvement of legislation base on occupational diseases, modernization of occupational pathology service, development of personnel resources system, advancement of research activity in medical ecology, industrial hygiene and occupational pathology and increased efficiency of intra-sectoral and inter-agency interactions about workers' health preservation.

Abstract
Studies of birth rate, natural increment and death rate dynamics of Aral region population helped to set major tendencies in demographic processes for dwellers in ecologic disaster area. Morbidity parameters were evaluated via ICD-10 classes with distribution in age and sex, that helped to identify leading classes of diseases in the population of Kyzylorda region. DALY index parameters were estimated through complex evaluation of health losses due to disablement and mortality among adult population of Kyzylorda region. The studies covered 5 districts of Kyzylorda region (Aral, Kazalin, Zhalagash, Karmaksh, Shiely). The parameters were analysed retrospectively over 10 years - from 2004 to 2013.

Abstract
Nowadays, environmental pollution has become a global, stable and constant hazard, in some regions consistent totality of pollutants determine toxic situation. In recent years, much attention in Kazakhstan is paid to Aral region. Despite multiple studies, problem connected with chemical influence on public health in Kazakhstan, Aral region, remains unsolved. Special place is taken by microelement state in the population. Microelements were studied in serum of the adult population residing in polluted area of Aral region. Findings are microelements dysbalances manifested by increased copper content and decreased zincum, selenium and iodine contents. Serum microelements disorders are objective criteria for various ecologically induced diseases. The study used descriptive, statistic and analytic methods.

Abstract
The article covers data on health state in dwellers of Shiely settlement in Kyzylorda region, evaluation of therapeutic morbidity by organ systems among the examined population. Findings are that 92% of the examinees are assigned to a morbid group, according to medical and biologic studies. As per nosology classes: first place was occupied by urogenital diseases, second place - by digestive diseases, third place - by blood and hemogenesis disorders. Comparative analysis by sex revealed no differences in first two rank places (urogenital diseases in males 78.7%, in females - 77.2%; digestive diseases - 72.3% and 74.4% respectively), third place was occupied by circulatory diseases (15.7%) in males and by blood and hemogenesis disorders (26.4%) in females.

Abstract
The article deals with data on meteorologic conditions influence on pollution of Aralsk territory. Aralsk climate over recent years appeared to be characterized by positive temperature anomalies (within 1-2°C). Air pollution in Aralsk territory depends on increased air temperature (over 35°C), on lay of land (general slope towards Aral sea) and wind scheme, with repeated south-west (11%), west (8%) and south (6%) winds result in high levels of air pollution with low-disperse particles of dust.

Abstract
The article represents results of first year research within large project «Complex approaches in public health state management in Aral region» (implementation term 2014-2016). Aral region problems is a bright example of ecologic disaster with severe social economic consequences, influencing directly or indirectly all countries. The article covers complex ecologic and social hygienic evaluation of evironmental hazards in ecologically unfavorable zones and public health assessment of Kyzylorda region. Scientific research work in continued. Statistical processing and comparison of data, with discussion, will be conducted in 2015-2016 and presented in further publications.

Abstract
Quality of personnel training directly influences state of occupational therapy service in the republic, therefore this training should be in special educational establishments matching all necessary requirements. Necessities also include core clinical base, experienced and highly qualified teachers and tutors, extensive educational and methodic literature, contemporary informational technologies and equipment (internet, audio and video devices, etc). Only through this, quality of medical training will meet requirements of contemporary medical science and practice, bringing a professional able to compete, to work efficiently in the speciality at the best international level

Abstract
Nowadays, essential objective of hygienic evaluation of electromagnetic energy absorption of mobile radio-frequency devices is specification of new approach with consideration of russian and international regulation principles. This approach enables to ealuate correctly users' actual exposure conditions and consider energy absorption by human in near-field zone of the irradiation source. The work is aimed to study applicability of hypothesis on possible relations between magnetic part of electromagnetic field and specific absorbed capacity. This hypothesis is considered a basis for designing a new methodic approach to hygienic evaluation of individual mobile communication devices in near-field zone of the source. Analysis of the data obtained demonstrates that visible difference between suggested and classic methods decreases with higher frequency. Every studied source in its near-field zone can be characterized by optimal conditions for the suggested method usage with error less than 2 dB. The study results on relations between decreasing electromagnetic energy and specific absorbed capacity value make possible further improvement of methods controlling electromagnetic field levels in assessment of personal mobile radio communication devices.

Abstract
The authors demonstrate that traditional methods evaluating work conditions on contemporary innovative enterprises producing nanomaterials assess these conditions as harmless and safe. At the same time, special investigation methods enable to reveal new hazards for workers' health: the study results prove that workers engaged into multilayer carbon nanotubes production are exposed to multilayer carbon nanotubes aerosols in concentrations exceeding internationally acceptable levels of 1 μg/m3 (NIOSH) - that can harm the workers' health.

Abstract
Development of mineral deposits in Far North and Arctic regions is a priority in Russian Federation. Result of shift workers' adaptation in Far North is formed adaptational strategy. Environmental and personal resources determine adaptational strategies in occupational activity of shift workers. Optimal personal resource of adaptational strategies in shift workers is: acceptance of others, moderate internality, integral adaptation value and programming as regulatory process.
