RELEVANCE: The problem of disability among the able-bodied population is very relevant, because the number of people with a newly established disability group is increasing. Every tenth person in the world has a disability according to the United Nation. The disability is considered to be one of the medical and demographic indicators. Its monitoring underlies ensuring the protection of the health of citizens. Research on the epidemiology of disability plays an important role in preventing an increase in the number of disabled citizens. PURPOSE: To study the dynamics and structure of disability among patients of a surgical department and assessing the degree of disability among residents of the city of Tver (Russia). MATERIALS: The analysis was carried out using the data on the official reports of polyclinic No. 1 of City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in Tver for the period from 2010 to 2020. The dynamics of the frequency of registration of persons with disabilities was studied, the structure of disability by groups was analyzed. The degree of reliability of the obtained data was assessed. RESULTS: The rates of citizens with disabilities increased 3.3 times from 2010 to 2020. The dynamics was wave-like. There was a sharp rise in the number of people who received a disability group for the first time from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2013. The indicators did not change much from 2014 to 2020. However, the dynamics of the percentage of the working population among persons with disabilities developed in inverse proportion. Those who received a disability group for the first time mainly had pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and vascular diseases. The largest number of patients received disability group III (moderate disability) each year. CONCLUSION:The tendency was illustrated through an example of the city of Tver (Russia). The data shows a decrease in the able-bodied population and an increase in social inequality. It is an urgent problem in the region.

“…Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have been discussed in terms of social coexistence for individuals with disabilities [1], retention of underrepresented minority faculty [2], understanding student perception on social justice in urban planning [3], teaching empathy through critical service-learning [4], accessibility in the build environment [5], student recruit strategies [6], and engineering faculty hiring practices [7]. In contrast with these approaches, our paper addresses DEI by reframing it within the contexts of geospatial literacy teaching and learning that aims to empower students as potential change makers in their careers as geospatial professionals.…”

A wide range of geospatial literacy programs at colleges and universities have been developed based on the foundation pillars of the Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM). Geospatial literacy programs at the associate and the baccalaureate degree levels may also seek accreditation so that graduates can become licensed professionals who will serve to protect the health and welfare of society. The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) stipulates that the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) be explicitly covered in curricula. However, reports suggest that academic instructions fall short in student empowerment on DEI. This gap may be attributed to academics of the GTCM that follows traditional pedagogical models with a focus on technical skills without much consideration to address the power dynamics of unjust social structures.This paper seeks to close this gap by investigating a framework for instruction and learning that informs DEI outcomes in association with the technical skills of the GTCM. Because geospatial literacy follows a similar pattern as information literacy, this paper investigates the applicability of the instructional framework used in information literacy to teaching the GTCM with DEIinformed outcomes. The framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education offers exploratory pathways for educators and institutional support departments to design instructional strategies that facilitate the transformation from information discovery through to knowledge creation. Following this paradigm, we expect that graduates from geospatial literacy programs will have gained significant technical skills and insight on understanding imagery, geospatial analytics, patterns and distributions of natural resources, boundary law doctrines, land development, and urban planning and be empowered to comment on social structures and institutional behaviors that infringe on the principles of DEI. This study contributes to the literature on education by seeking to understand factors on engineering pedagogy that supports DEI-informed learning outcomes for the GTCM.
