Central Asian Water Management and Environmental Training Project

Uzbekistan Southern DataStream and Samarkand State Architectural and Civil Engineering Institute\u27s training program is designed to support regional water management and environmental protection projects in the Central Asia region, including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. This training program imparts skills in both the technical aspects of water management as well as the social and democratic aspects of establishing water management goals and administering associated projects. The program seeks to promote cooperation between USA and Uzbekistan by training participants in environmental and water management, thus contributing to improvement in the social, economic and political situation of this region. This project will be applicable to many areas of water management including municipal supply, irrigation efficiency, environmental monitoring, community education, and multinational cooperation

Water related environmental issues in central asia

This article addresses the need for a sustainable water resource management in the Central Asian region with a hot, dry and continental climate. This research and its results meet sustainable development’s goals and also specifically the potential to solve or softening consequences of the Aral Sea ecological disaster. The urgency of this concern is felt most deeply in areas lacking potable water, most notably the larger Aral Sea region. During the long summer (from May until October) water consumption increases sharply and water sources cannot meet the demand. Intensive water use and sharply increasing of the water demand misbalances water flow in the main rivers as Syr Darya and Amu Darya which feed the Aral Sea. The primary challenge facing water supply and sustainability specialists in Central Asia and specifically in Uzbekistan is to balance competing water supply demand and water sources preservation in the region. Among these demands is the urgency of halting further depletion of water in the Aral Sea, and, ideally, to augment the water in that basin. But there is also the need to develop high quality water delivery systems for human and industrial use. And, of course, there is the question of what water can be left for the agricultural sector of the dry and hot temperature region to irrigate its crops or just sustainable water resources management. This study will address water-related issues in the Central Asian Republics with special emphasis on the Republic of Tajikistan. The authors analyse a current situation and describe the factors that contribute to these issues and will provide recommendations for alleviating the Aral Sea disaster. Authors offer to solve this problem with wider team from different fields

Variation in the Clinical Manifestation of Rheumatoid Arthritis Based on the Residence Areas

The study included rheumatoid arthritis patients from three regions of Uzbekistan, viz., Tashkent city - zone I (n=144), Khorezm region – zone II (n=112) and the Namangan region – zone III (n=104). Comparative clinical and laboratory analyses showed the clear evidence of aggressive joint syndrome dominance in zone II (71.4%), which was higher than those of the patients in zone III (P<0.05), as well as the development of severe destructive lesions of the joints, even up to the joints ankylosing. Also, zone II was dominated by the visceral forms of the disease, up to 52.7%, whereas in zone I this value was 31.3%, while zone III was characterized by the low rates of extra-articular manifestations, at 11.5% (P<0.05). Moreover, the zone II patients in comparison with zone I patients more frequently required hospitalization and ambulant therapy (P<0.05). A retrospective study of the genetic aspects of rheumatoid arthritis patients had established the fact that in zone I, 52.14% of the patients’ family history was burdened with rheumatoid arthritis (28.6% in zone II and 24.1% in zone III); while in zone II - there was an upward trend in the incidence of the disease among the descendants of the rheumatoid arthritis patients, at 55.4% (27.8% in zone I and 23.1% in zone III). Thus, a comparative analysis demonstrated that the clinical and epidemiological parameters of rheumatoid arthritis were different in all the three areas of Uzbekistan, which did not exclude the probability of the influence of climatic and geographical factors on the course of the rheumatoid arthritis

Restoring of Filter Properties of Rocks in a Well Zone

Change of filter properties of porosity rock and filter wells takes place, owning to salt ratio and corrosion products of water well’s metallic elements. To rehabilitate filter indices of rocks in a water well’s filter area for the first time, a layer by layer mineralogical research in inviolable samples is proposed. The research of mineralogical composition water well clogging elements and change its structure in layers has been carried out on the basis of up-to-date physical and chemical methods of analysis. The authors used methods of electronic microscopy, rontgenphase and derivation graphic analyses. The results of composition and structure research and also the character of the layer deposit of clogging elements suggested removal using selective influence reagents

On the basis of long-term own researches and the analysis of the literary data are cited the data on specific structure of pulmonary nematodes of animals of Chechen Republic. Protostrongylidae is considered the most prevalent helminthosis of goats and sheep.Приведены данные о видовом составе нематод легких жвачных животных Чеченской Республики на основании многолетних собственных исследований и анализа литературы. Наиболее распространенными гельминтами мелкого рогатого скота являются протостронгилиды

ГЕЛЬМИНТОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ОЦЕНКА ПАСТБИЩ В ОТНОШЕНИИ Protostrongylus spp. В ГОРНОЙ ЗОНЕ ЧЕЧЕНСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ

In Chechen Republic the helminthological estimation of pastures concerning Protostrongylus spp. of sheep are made. Infections of lambs register since June–July. Young growth and adults’ sheep are infected by Protostrongylidae within all the year.Дана гельминтологическая оценка пастбищ Чеченской Республики в отношении легочных стронгилят у овец. Заражение регистрируют у ягнят в возрасте 5–6 мес в июне–июле. Молодняк и взрослые овцы инвазированы протостронгилидами в течение года

Epidemiology of Taenia saginata taeniosis/cysticercosis in the Russian Federation

BackgroundRussia is traditionally an endemic area for Taenia saginata infection, where a programme for the prevention of infection has been implemented for sixty years. This paper aims, therefore, to review the recent epidemiology data of Taenia saginata infection in the Russian Federation.MethodsWe undertook a systematic review of published and grey literature, and official data for information on the incidence, prevalence and distribution of Taenia saginata taeniosis and cysticercosis in the Russian Federation between 1st January 1991 and 31st December 2017.ResultsFrom the 404 records returned by our search strategy, we identified 17 official county reports, 17 papers and one meeting abstract on the occurrence of taeniosis or cysticercosis from the Russian Federation, eligible for inclusion in this study. In the Russian Federation, Taenia saginata infection has been continuously present and notifiable in the study period between 1991-2016. In the same area, a continuous decrease in the incidence of human taeniosis cases was observed, from 1.4 to 0.04 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, as well as a reduction in the territory where the infection is reported. The prevalence of bovine cysticercosis, ranging between 0.1-19.0%, generally has a declining trend, especially after 2005.ConclusionsImportance of Taenia saginata infection as a medical and veterinary problem has been decreasing in the 21st century but it is still an infection with health and economic impact in the Russian Federation
