How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Health of Kyzylorda region dwellers is influenced by following negative factors: physical — climate (sharply continental dry hot climate, winds, high solar radiation); chemical — biochemical components in water, soils, ambient air, radiation background; anthropogenic — overregulated river-bed of Syrdaria, insiccation of Aral sea, oil extraction, uranium ores extraction, etc. Findings are that the maximal respiratory diseases prevalence is seen in a region neighboring toAral sea. Kyzylorda region used to take 3rd place in the republic for average longstanding mortality with respiratory diseases. High morbidity in Zhalagashsky and Zhanakorgansky districts, high mortality with respiratory diseases in Kazalinsky and Zhanakorgansky districts are seen in regions situated far fromAral sea.
