Country Profile on Disability: Republic of Uzbekistan

[Excerpt] The Law on Social Security of Disabled People in the Republic of Uzbekistan, Article 1 defines a person with disability as one who is in need of aid because he/she has physical or mental problems. Daily activities such as moving, orientation, speech, behavioral control, and/or work on one\u27s own are completely or partly limited. In Uzbekistan, persons with disabilities are screened in two steps. Firstly, a diagnosis is given by the hospitals where each person is registered according to his/her residential addresses. Secondly, persons with disabilities receive referrals to the Medicine Labour Expert Commissions (MLEC) of their respective district, which determines the grade of disability. Regarding reception of social security benefits, the MLEC defines persons with disabilities by legislature in accordance with national traditions, international norms, and the economic resources of Uzbekistan. According to the causes of disabilities, persons with disabilities are divided into three general groups: (1) Disability caused by genetic diseases, (2) Disability caused by acquired diseases, and (3) Disability caused by industrial injury such as traffic accidents, industrial accidents, and natural disasters

Report on mineral exploration in Iscaycruz (Oyon) area: consolidated report

This report summarizes results of the exploration works of the progressive stage of the Mineral Exploration by means of drilling and tunnelling explorations carried out during the period of three years from 1982 to 1984 in the lscaycruz Area (40 km2), the Republic of Peru. The lscaycruz Area had been extracted as a favorable arca where economic ore deposits would be expected to be emplaced, by the results of the early stage of the Mineral Exploration in the Oyon Arca (860 km2), which was carried out during the period of three years from 1979 to 1981. The purpose of this project is to confirm the existence of economic ore deposits, in the selected areas of Limpe area and Limpe-South area in the lscaycruz Arca, through the implement of investigations such as tunnelling exploration and drilling exploration both on the surface and in the underground. The Iscaycruz Arca is located about 150 km north of Lima, in the backbone range of the Western Andes. Geologically, Mesozoic sedimentary rocks are widely distributed in this area, forming remarkable composit folded structure due to tight folding with the axes in the Andean direction, namely NNW-SSE. The lscaycruz mineralized zone is located approximately 7 km south-southeast of Oyon, in the high mountain at the altitude of 4,700 m above sea level. The mineralization occurs in the limestones of the Santa Formation, about 50 to 100m in thickness, and continues about 12 km along the strike. In this mineralized zone, ore deposits are divided roughly into two categories; the one is contact metasomatic skarn type ore deposits represented by copper-zinc skarn orebodies and the other is hydrothermal replacement ore deposits represented by copper-lead-zinc massive sulphide orebodies as well as by disseminated orebodies of lead and zinc in the siderite beds. The cummulative amount of the investigation in this survey project is; as to the tunneling exploration, 2,008 m is the total excavation length of the Adit-N (835 m, at 4,090 m above sea level) and of the Adit-S (1 ,173 m, at 4,570 m above sea level); andas to the drilling exploration, 4,110 m of 19 holes is the total length of the surface drilling (2,040 m, 9 holes) and the underground drilling (2,070 m, 10 holes). Through the drilling exploration, indications of mineralization have been confirmed in all the hales; especially, in the 4 surface drill holes and in the 4 underground drill holes located in the Limpe area as well as in the 2 surface drill holes in the Limpe-South arca, were confined high grade orebodies with the thickness over 10 m, the grade of which is as high as 20% Pb, Zn and Cu combined. Also, in the tunnelling exploration, high grade orebodies have been confirmed at three localities and the conditions of the emplacement of the orebody’s have been clarified. Considering the results of these exploration works generally, it is estimated that the sizes of the orebodies in the Limpe area are 300 m in horizontal extension, over 150m in vertical extension and 10 to 30 m in thickness. By the result of the ore reserve estimation by polygon method, the expected ore reserves in this area is estimated to be 3,250 thousand tons with the grade as high as 20% Pb and Zn combined. As for the mineralization in the Limpe area, it would be necessary to conduct further detailed exploration works for the confirmation of the ore deposits, the ore reserves and possible extension of the orebodies at the depth. Also, it would be necessary to continue exploration for potentialities of mineral resources in the Lirnpe-South arca, Limpe-North area and Kunsha Punta arca. As to the investigation of the next stage, it is recommended to carry out the survey for the planning of the development including every item in necessary fields for the investment to the development of mineral resources

JICA Thematic Guidelines on Disability

[Excerpt] According to the United Nations (UN), there are approximately 600 million people worldwide with some form of disability, of which about 60 percent live in developing countries and only a small percentage are said to receive services such as rehabilitation. In developing countries, disability and poverty are closely connected, and the great majority of persons with disabilities are living in absolute poverty. They are not receiving the benefits of development, and it is not easy for them to participate in the development of their country. While a participatory approach to development is widely employed, measures to recognize persons with disabilities as participants have not yet been properly implemented in all fields of assistance. In the past, the support for persons with disabilities has been seen as part of social welfare assistance, and has tended to focus on persons with disabilities only as its beneficiaries

Report on geological survey of Iscaycruz (Oyon) area: Phase II

This report summarizes results of the second year's work of the Cooperative Basic Geological Survey for Development of Mineral Resources carried out in the Iscaycruz Area, the Republic of Peru. The purpose of this project is to examine relationship between geological structure and mineralization, and to confirm lateral and vertical continuity of the mineralized zone, by means of drilling exploration and tunnelling exploration in this area. The Iscaycruz Area had been extracted as a favorable area where economic ore deposits would be expected to be emplaced, by the results of the Cooperative Basic Geological Survey for Development of Mineral Resources in the Oyon Area, which was carried out during the period of three years from 1979 to 1981. The Iscaycruz Area is located about 150 km north of Lima, in the backbone range of the West Andes. Geologically, Mesozoic sedimentary rocks are widely distributed in this area, forming remarkable com posit folded structure due to tight forlding with the axes in the Andean direction, namely NNW-SSE. The Iscaycruz mineralized zone is located approximately 7 km south-southeast of Oyon1 in the high mountain at the altitude of 4,700 m above sea level. The mineralization occurs in the limestones of the Santa Formation, about 50 to 100 meters in thickness, and continues about 12 km along the strike. In this mineralized zone, ore deposits are divided roughly into two categories; the one is contact metasomatic skarn type ore deposits represented by copper-zinc skarn orebodies and the other is hydrothermal replacement ore deposits represented by copper-lead-zinc massive sulphide ore bodies as well as by disseminated orebodies of lead and zinc in the siderite beds. The investigations in the present year, following the works in the last year, the tunneling exploration (Adit-N main tunnel, Adit-N crosscut, Adit-S main tunnel, total excavation length 680 m) and the underground diamond drilling (2 drill sites, 4 holes, total drill length 910 m) were carried out in the Limpe area in the central part of the lscaycruz mineralization zone, where the emplacement of high grade copper-lead-zinc massive sulphide ore deposits would be expected most favorably in the Iscaycruz mineralization zone. By the results of the tunnelling exploration, both main tunnels of Adit-N (4,690 meters above sea level) and Adit-S (4,570 meters above sea level) are located in quartzite of the Chimu Formation. The Santa Formation is recognized over 80 meters along the crosscut of the Adit-N and, in addition to the intense mineralization mainly of pyrite, indications of high grade zinc mi neralization of Zn l 7.13% in average of the true width of l 2 meters are confirmed on the horizon of the hanging-watt-side orebody. By the results of the underground diamond drilling, heavy pyrite mineralization was recognized in 4 holes respectively. By the drill hole JC-6, which was located in the north of the crosscut of the Adit-N, indications of high grade zinc mineralization (core length 7.0 m , Cu 0.32%, Zn 21.59%) and copper disseminations in pyrite mass (core length 7.8 m, Cu 2.48%, Zn 0.46%) were recognized in the peripheral zone of the massive pyrite orebody along the horizon of the footwalt- side orebody. And it has been clarified that there would be intimate relation between the pyrite mineralization and the copper-lead-zinc mineralization

Informe sobre el estudio geológico en el área sur de la República del Perú. Informe final

Este Informe consolida los resultados del estudio regional de recursos minerales durante la Fase II (año fiscal 2001, segundo año fiscal del estudio) implementado en el área sur de República del Perú, bajo la cooperación técnica para la exploración mineral. El estudio en referencia fue intentado para identificar áreas de interés dentro de una extensa de estudio en un breve período de tiempo, por medio de imágenes satelitales, análisis de la información geológica existente y el análisis integrado de los hallazgos del estudio en el área en referencia. La Fase II del estudio, cubre un área de aproximadamente 35,000 km2, que se extiende sobre 13 cuadrángulos de mapas topográficos publicados por el IGN -Instituto Geográfico Nacional de la República del Perú- a la escala 1:100,000. Topográficamente el área en referencia se extiende sobre la Cordillera de la Costa a lo largo de la Costa del Pacífico, la Planicie Pre-Andina y la Cordillera Occidental. El clima varía ampliamente desde un clima árido costanero hasta un clima frío de las tierras altas. Referente al marco geológico, en el área de estudio subyacen concordantemente con la dirección predominante andina, rocas desde metamórficas precámbricas hasta sedimentos cuaternarios. Para el área de estudio se efectuó un análisis de las imágenes JERS-1 SAR y LANDSAT TM, así como también un análisis de la información geológica existente. Simultáneamente con el estudio, se implementó una transferencia de tecnología referente al análisis de las imágenes satelitales al INGEMMET - Instituto Geológico Minero y Metalúrgico del Perú del Ministerio de Energía y Minas. Los resultados del análisis de las imágenes satelitales y del análisis de la información existente fueron integrados y analizados para la evaluación de potencialidad de la ocurrencia de depósitos minerales en el área completa de estudio, donde se han seleccionado áreas de interés. Los resultados del estudio se resumen de la siguiente manera: (1) Análisis de Imágenes Satelitales: La ubicación de las ocurrencias de depósitos tipo veta no está relacionada con la densidad de lineamiento; sin embargo, si tales depósitos están situados en el Cenozoico, siempre están acompañados por anomalías en el índice de minerales de óxido de fierro y el índice de minerales arcillosos. En el caso de depósitos tipo manto, las imágenes satelitales no dan ninguna indicación. Referente a los depósitos de tipo diseminado y tipo stockwork se ha concluido que las ocurrencias de estos depósitos están localizadas en la vecindad de una relativa elevación de la densidad de lineamientos, y siempre están acompañadas por anomalías, aunque débiles, del índice de óxido de fierro o del índice de minerales arcillosos. (2) Análisis de la Información Geológica Existente: En el área de estudio subyacen rocas volcánicas y sedimentarias del Pre-Cámbrico y Cuaternario que se extienden en una dirección predominante NO-SE, las cuales han sido intruídas por rocas intrusivas de edades Ordovísico a Silúrico, Cretáceo Tardío, fin del Cretáceo y comienzos del Paleógeno y Neógeno. Dentro del área de estudio, se han descrito minas y ocurrencias de mineral en 260 localidades, 238 de ellos, o sea sobre el 90%, son depósitos tipo veta, seguidos por depósitos tipo manto (en 15 localidades) tipo diseminación (4) y tipo stockwork (3). Se ha descrito depósitos deAu y Au-Cu del tipo veta en 172 localidades. La roca encajonante en estos depósitos varía ampliamente desde el Pre-Cámbrico hasta el Cuaternario, lo cual sugiere que la mineralización posiblemente tuvo lugar en varios períodos, Sin embargo, hasta ahora no se han hecho estudios concretos a este respecto. Los depósitos minerales de tipo veta de Cu, Cu-Fe y Fe, yacen en rocas sedimentarias y volcánicas mesozoicas. Los depósitos de Fe en vetas están confinados a la Superunidad Patap del Batolito de la Costa. Referente a los depósitos tipo manto, los de Cu se describen en 12 localidades en la Formación Marcona de edad precámbrica, mientras que los depósitos de Fe-Cuy Cu-Au se encuentran respectivamente en la Formación Guaneros y la Formación Seraj, ambos mesozoicas. Los depósitos de tipo diseminado y tipo stockwork son indicaciones de depósitos de Au, Au-Cu y Cu-Mo y yacen en el Batolito de la Costa y la Unidad Cenozoica. El Au ocurre en rocas volcánicas cenozoicas, lo cual sugiere la posible ocurrencia de depósitos epitermales de Au y depósitos de pórfido de Cu. (3) Análisis Integrado y Recomendaciones: El análisis integrado fue conducido basado en lo encontrado en las imágenes satelitales y en el análisis de la información geológica existente, lo cual dio como resultado la identificación de 5 áreas de interés que se indican debajo. Las áreas de interés han sido seleccionadas teniendo como base los siguientes criterios: i) Anomalías en el índice de óxidos de Fe identificadas mediante el análisis de imágenes satelitales ii) Anomalías en el índice de minerales arcillosos iii) Densidad de Lineamientos iv) Distribución de las rocas volcánicas del Mioceno al Pleistoceno y la Formación Guaneros de edad mesozoica, lo mismo que la distribución del Grupo Yura y del Gmpo Casma. v) Distribución de las indicaciones conocidas de mineral. Las áreas seleccionadas son las siguientes: l. Area de Nazca 2. Area de Tocata 3. Area de Chuquibamba 4. Area de Andagua 5. Area de Orcopampa. A fin de verificar la geología y mineralización en estas áreas, debería ser implementado un reconocimiento geológico
