Does Turkey have a Central Asian Project?

Central Asia's importance in Turkish foreign policy has begun to rise since the beginning of the 2010s. Turkey determines its regional policy in the conception of the Turkic world, including Azerbaijan. With this regard, Turkey pays particular attention to the institutionalization of bilateral relations with the regional states. The most successful measure in that direction is the establishment of the Turkic Council. This integration project marks significant progress for the institutionalization of Turkey's Central Asian policy. Turkey is one of the non-regional actors affecting the Central Asian balance of power. However, it has limited influence on regional security and military affairs, which Russia dominates. Turkey is only a secondary non-regional actor in Central Asia. Therefore, it primarily structures its Central Asian policy using common historical and cultural elements. In this study, we investigate whether Turkey has a long-term project in Central Asia. For this purpose, we explore the restrictions of Turkish policy in Central Asia. After that, we compare Turkey's importance for the foreign policies of Central Asian states. Additionally, we evaluate Turkey's interest in non-Western organizations such as the Eurasian Economic Union and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to transform Turkish foreign policy priorities in recent years. Finally, we show that Turkey has a policy toward Central Asia but not a fully-fledged project for the region

SYSTEM OF CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF ACCESS ON THE BASIS OF ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLERS

Objectives. The aim of the study is to select methods and means for the effective modernization of the security system existing in the enterprise.Method. It is proposed to improve the access control mode using the access control system based on ARDUINO microcontrollers. To highlight the functions of the system and the requirements for it were built UML-diagrams. On the basis of these diagrams, the balls have developed a schematic electrical diagram of the hardware of the system with an indication of all its elements. At the next stage, an algorithm was proposed for the operation of the hardware of the access control system. The implementation of a part of the algorithm for information exchange between the device and the information system is shown in the form of a sketch using the example of packet transmission over an Ethernet network using the TCP protocol. An intuitive interface has been developed for interaction between the access control system and the end user. The necessary information is stored in a database created in a Microsoft SQL Server environment.Result. The developed system was tested at the enterprise by means of sketches and a multimeter. Test results allow us to conclude that the system is ready for implementation. Conclusion. The article describes one of the methods for upgrading the existing access control system through a more user-friendly interface and the addition of entry/exit functions.Acknowledgments.

Determi-nation of Lead(II) in Liver Corpse of a Slaughtered Cattle with Preconcentration on a Chelating Sorbent

Abstract The copolymer of the maleic anhydride-styrene is modified at the presence of 4-amino-2-thiouracil and formaldehyde and the new polymeric sorbate with spatial structure is received. The received sorbate is identified by the IR-spectroscopy method. The complete static sorption capacitance was studied ( K CSSC + = 7.8 mmol/g) and the ionization constants of ionic groups in a sorbate link was defined by electrometric method. Ionization constants were determined by potentiometric titration of the sorbent

Emergence and intensification of dairying in the Caucasus and Eurasian steppes

Published online 7 April 2022Archaeological and archaeogenetic evidence points to the Pontic–Caspian steppe zone between the Caucasus and the Black Sea as the crucible from which the earliest steppe pastoralist societies arose and spread, ultimately influencing populations from Europe to Inner Asia. However, little is known about their economic foundations and the factors that may have contributed to their extensive mobility. Here, we investigate dietary proteins within the dental calculus proteomes of 45 individuals spanning the Neolithic to Greco-Roman periods in the Pontic–Caspian Steppe and neighbouring South Caucasus, Oka–Volga–Don and East Urals regions. We find that sheep dairying accompanies the earliest forms of Eneolithic pastoralism in the North Caucasus. During the fourth millennium BC, Maykop and early Yamnaya populations also focused dairying exclusively on sheep while reserving cattle for traction and other purposes. We observe a breakdown in livestock specialization and an economic diversification of dairy herds coinciding with aridification during the subsequent late Yamnaya and North Caucasus Culture phases, followed by severe climate deterioration during the Catacomb and Lola periods. The need for additional pastures to support these herds may have driven the heightened mobility of the Middle and Late Bronze Age periods. Following a hiatus of more than 500 years, the North Caucasian steppe was repopulated by Early Iron Age societies with a broad mobile dairy economy, including a new focus on horse milking.Ashley Scott ...
