Public Space and Everyday Culture
Authors: Ewing Kathryn
Published: April 2024

To understand the concept of public space within the African context, we need to unpack the terms ‘public’ and ‘space’. Public space can’t be seen in isolation from the action that takes place within the urban space, the everyday culture that influences public life. The opportunity lies in reviewing the idea of public space from a conventional meaning into one of understanding the fractions of space as co-produced, negotiated, and occupied places in constant change, driven by a continual process and not a desired end-product. In some instances, the fractional space is connected and creates a mesh or network of social infrastructure; in others, the spaces remain individual and active. The short essay offers a series of photo stories to reveal the concept of fractional urban space. The images illustrate a switch in foreground concepts versus the background realities and actions in urban spaces experienced in fragile neighbourhoods in Cape Town, South Africa. Four spatial frames are interpreted. Firstly, fractional space is described. Secondly, a space of practice remarks on a strategic, and transformative project as a lesson for incremental area-based development. Thirdly, a space of exchange, reveals the social function and production of space within an extraordinary and overlapping micro-space of the city. Fourthly, a space of learning, reframes a critical pedagogy of engaged teaching and learning beyond the academy, co-designed and situated in a ‘real’ public space project. The images offer reflections of fractional urban space in context.

This case study shows the contribution of the World Bank consultancy provided by the architecture and urbanism studio superwien urbanism to the Municipality of Maputo in the rehabilitation of twenty public spaces in irregular settlements of Maputo, Mozambique. The project consists of the rehabilitation of these spaces into multifunctional community spaces and neighbourhoods’ centralities, as well as the rehabilitation of 20 km active mobility pathways to connect pedestrians and cyclists on the city scale. The development of the project was based on a dialog-oriented urban design process and the place-led approach, involving locals in all project phases. From the site selection to the final design, various local stakeholders and specialists had the main role in the project development, including local architects and urbanists, residents of the project area, local leaders and architecture students. In addition, superwien implemented a process to develop, adapt, combine and use various participatory tools in five pilot neighbourhoods, in order to approach the community in a meaningful way and achieve positive results. The findings of these participatory activities were shared with different stakeholders in the Maputo Urban Lab, which also included local architecture students. Within Maputo Urban Lab’s various activities, the local students learned about the different participatory tools and had the opportunity to apply them in participatory workshops in the remaining fifteen neighbourhoods of the project area. Their results were presented to the Municipality of Maputo and the superwien team through a rapid design, where the students could make their own design suggestions for the spaces they visited. Finally, superwien has been developing the final 22 public spaces designs which aim to ensure an inclusive, diverse and accessible approach.
Hoop it up, Loop it back, Repeat
Authors: Cunningham Alexandra
Published: April 2024

An inner-city Johannesburg basketball court has served as the backdrop for a decade of intertwining relationships, creating a home away from home and a secondary family for the members of this community. The fence surrounding the space serves as a threshold through which one enters a separate world, distinct from the city that surrounds. The space is reminiscent of a nostalgic hip hop basketball culture, yet also keenly local and unique. The cyclical, repetitive nature of each day at the court allows for the development of deep personal connections and communal safety within the court space. The cuts and ruptures that occur are built into the nature of the culture in the space and while disruptive, are also what allows for growth and change and deeper intertwining. These concepts are explored through conversations amongst court community members and artworks reflecting on this research. While the pivotal elements that develop this community are the people, the physical infrastructure is also key in allowing this day-to-day consistency to lay the groundwork for such a sense of home and belonging.

Public spaces are key to inclusion and sustainability in urban Africa. Too often, public space is seen as an add-on, to be included at the end when funding or space allows. In this paper, written by two collaborating organisations working on public space in Kenya (and beyond), we argue that public space should be seen less as an optional outcome of sustainable development and more as a necessary and active agent in catalysing such development. We illustrate this with two case studies of public space initiatives in very different settlements. The first case study - in Kibera, Nairobi - demonstrates how a series of co-designed public spaces can address local, site-specific objectives within an informal settlement context, while responding to regional-scale challenges, including the development of stormwater management and infrastructure that improves access to public health, economic opportunities, education, transport, social equity and emergency services. The second case - in the Kalobeyei settlement in Kakuma - represents a paradigm shift in refugee settlement design, demonstrating the critical role of participatory public space design within an integrated planning strategy to promote the socio-economic integration of host and refugee communities. Other benefits include improving the safety of women and children, providing shelter and respite from inclement weather exacerbated by climate change, and improving access to economic opportunities, basic infrastructure and services.A common feature of the projects is the way in which communities have been substantially involved in all stages of planning, design and construction. By analysing the process, we draw lessons for replication in other neighbourhoods facing the challenges posed by the intersection of climate change, social inequality and rapid urbanisation. Overall, we hope to demonstrate the potential of public spaces developed through localised and participatory design approaches as an accelerator of sustainable development in African cities.
From the Diversity of Endogenous Spaces to the Specificity of Exogenous Space
Authors: Moussalih Abdellah
Published: April 2024

This article presents the social uses and practices of users through their manifestations, in order to evaluate the evolution of the relationship between the transformation of spatial structures and the production of landscapes representative of the image of the urban area.In order to support the hypothesis, the field of investigation is focused on the public space of Bab Lamrissa, which now represents a natural extension, a kind of immediate "periphery" of Sale, which abolishes the physical boundaries. Deciphering the forms and methods of social allocation of the Bab Lamrissa square reveals a differentiation of uses and divisions, establishing the courtyard as an open-air urban laboratory.
Rethinking Public Spaces in Africa
Authors: Roji Ayanda
Published: April 2024

The struggles for land and spatial justice feature very strongly in the modern history of the African continent, which has not only deeply shaped the continent’s history, but continues to shape its present and unfold in its future. In such contexts, geographic space as well as public space is layered with physical, symbolic and political meanings. Who has access to the benefits and resources of the city and who does not, who is able to flourish and who cannot, are therefore part of much larger historical and societal questions, reflecting the beliefs and values we hold and pursue as communities, governments, nations, and perhaps also as Africans.The centrality of public spaces in Africa informed the formation of the Centre on African Public Spaces (CAPS). Initially established by the City of Johannesburg metropolitan municipality in response to the 2018 Africities Summit’s call for a regional knowledge-sharing platform on public spaces, CAPS is the first multidisciplinary initiative formed through international collaborations with the ‘UN-Habitat Global Public Space Programme’ and the ‘GIZ Inclusive Violence and Crime Prevention Programme’. CAPS also brings together municipalities and provincial governments across the continent, universities and civil society organisations.
Participation as a Global Urban Strategy Towards Resilience
Authors: Athanassiou Evangelia
Published: April 2024

A recurring theme in urban planning and urban design, citizen participation has been adopted by international organisations (UNECE, 1998; UN, 2016; OECD, 2022) and, has recently, been reinstated in different conceptualizations, planning scales and political meanings, both through formal processes incorporated into legal planning frameworks or led by the local authorities and through citizen-led initiatives with varying degrees of interaction and conflict with formal urban policies (Cornwall, 2009; Miraftab, 2004; Kapsali 2023). The paper discusses the way participation in public space production is conceptualised in prominent urban strategies towards resilience as triggered, formulated and promoted globally by the Rockefeller Foundation Initiative “100 Resilient Cities”.
First, the emergence of philanthropic foundations as new social actors of urban development in Greece, is understood as part of a new governance regime formulated in the context of austerity politics. A brief examination of prominent projects of public space creation that were funded by foundations during the crisis illuminates specific hegemonic discourses endorsed through the foundations’ granting initiatives for public space. Subsequently, the paper focuses on the initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation and embarks on a critique of the way participation is conceptualized within the initiative and in the “Resilience strategies” of Athens and Thessaloniki.  Notwithstanding their inclusive rhetoric, participation is instigated by an international benevolent foundation, facilitated by global consultants acting in parallel and not from within locally instituted planning processes. It is argued that within the framework of this global initiative, participation becomes a matter of techno-managerial “know-how” and its potential to unsettle unjust socio-environmental processes and act towards justice and democracy is questioned.
Mapping Everyday Public Spaces in Urban Neighbourhoods
Authors: Anaxagorou Glykeria , Charalambous Nadia
Published: April 2024

Central public spaces in cities have always played an important role in urban experience, and continue to have a city-wide signiﬁcance, often described as the meeting spaces of cultures, politics, social and individual trajectories. Peripheral and/or neighbourhood public spaces, where the everyday life of citizens unfolds, rarely enjoy any of this signiﬁcance and may not receive the attention needed from the main stakeholders involved. Many researchers have highlighted the significance of these public spaces in cities, pointing out that the patterns of everyday life in residential neighbourhoods – whether it is the chance encounters in the local market or conversations in the local square– are the essential material of society and may well have integrative social functions, of an individual or collective initiative. 
This paper aims at an empirical contribution to a better understanding of the synthesizing mechanisms, which shape public spaces in cities’ neighbourhoods, by addressing the variety of factors involved and their relations and by highlighting the need for manifold perspectives on the localized ‘meaning’ of places, constructed, and shaped by local practices and behaviours. Drawing on the theoretical framework of relational theories, the paper sets out to explore the links between the physical sphere and the social sphere of three different residential public spaces in the city of Limassol, critically exploring the ways in which the boundaries of public space are challenged and negotiated. Both spatial analysis and social sciences methods are employed to map and unveil the essential role residential public spaces play, in bringing together what society divides in contemporary, multicultural cities, where multiplicities of identities, languages, religions and cultures may naturally give rise to tensions and even hostilities. The potential for interaction and meetings between different people backgrounds in the public realm is shown to be a crucial prerequisite for shaping encounters during their everyday life, encouraging tolerance and a feeling of belonging.
Tafsir and Qur’an Translation
Authors: Bouamrane Taoufiq
Published: April 2024

This article investigates the relevance of the religious science of Tafsir in the translation of the meanings of the holy Qur`an. The study aims to highlight the significance of exegesis / Tafsir in elucidating the contents of the Qur`an through the analysis of selected translations of Quranic verses which display semantic ambiguity that requires reference to Tafsir for clarification. A qualitative, descriptive, and analytical approach is adopted to highlight the need for exegesis in explaining their meanings. The study provides context and exegesis for each verse according to different sources. Afterward, the English translations of these verses are analyzed and compared to the source text to ensure that the intended meanings, according to the provided exegesis, are considered and preserved in the rendered texts. This study underscores the critical finding that translating the Holy Qur’an requires referring to the most important books of Tafsir to explain and interpret the verses at different levels. This research thus aims to contribute to a deeper understanding that collaboration across various disciplines, mainly Islamic religious and translation studies, is essential to uncover the hidden meanings within the Quranic text.
Lost in Translation? Unpacking Paul Bowles' Approach to Morocco's Literary Gems through a Case Study of For Bread Alone
Authors: Boukranaa Ahmed , Sandy Kebir
Published: April 2024

This study aims to scrutinise the method of translations that Paul Bowles opted for while rendering Moroccan literary texts. The researcher adopted Mouhamed Choukri’s autobiographical novel Al Khubz Al Hafi (2000) and its English translation For Bread Alone (2002) as an example. This research takes Peter Newmark’s communicative and semantic translation as a theoretical background to approach the target text. The research examines the translator's rendering of the source text's form, meaning, and culture and whether they were rendered semantically or communicatively. The researcher read both the source text and its translation, then nominated 24 sentences and their English translation. The selected sentences stand as examples for many more in the novel. After selecting the sentence, the translation method adopted by Bowles is determined. The study’s results suggest that communicative translation was employed more frequently. The analysis reveals that the translator opted for communicative translation to clarify culturally bound terminology or omit certain features linked to the source text that the translator designated as unnecessary to the target reader. The results showed that employing communicative translation led to an awkward translation and mistranslation. The translator resorted to semantic translation to maintain the feature of faithfulness. However, due to cultural and linguistic barriers, the translator could not produce a clear translated message. This research shows that communicative translation cannot reflect the implicit message of the source text, while semantic translation must always be associated with footnotes or glossaries.
Emotional Regulation Among High School Varsity Basketball Coaches
Authors:   , Ourian Dan
Published: April 2024

As the field of sport psychology has grown, researchers and applied practitioners have turned their attention from working solely with athletes to working with the coaches who lead those athletes. Coaches, with their various roles, constraints and stressors, are performers in their own right, in need of assistance with their mental performance (Giges, Petitpas & Vernacchia, 2004). The present study examined how emotional regulation is valued as a psychological skill among 10 high school varsity basketball coaches. Through semi structured interviews and thematic content analysis, the coaches' view on how emotions impact their coaching practice is explored. Results regarding their challenges and successes are presented, as well as techniques and sources of their ability to regulate emotions. The present study adds to the current sport psychology literature in the realm of coaching education and supports a direction towards enhanced social emotional learning among coaches.
Intraspecific Facilitation Through Host Plant Quality Improvement? Observations on the Aggregation Behaviour and Population Biology of the Senescence Inducing Phloem Feeder (Ischnodemus Sabuleti)
Authors: Gidó Zsolt , Lehoczky Éva
Published: April 2024

The aggregation behaviour and the senescence inducing effect on its host plants (Glyceria spp.) of the European chinch bug (Ischnodemus sabuleti) is documented in several Hungarian high- density populations. The hypothesis of intraspecific facilitation through host plant quality improvement is formulated and discussed in detail. We suggest that drought stressed host plants improve the performance of I. sabuleti and facilitate the local population outbreaks. We suggest that the optimal host plant drought stress level is higher for senescence feeding herbivores than for the flush feeding herbivores.
A Tale of Freshwater Scarcity: Water Resources of Namibia
Authors: Coetzee Marina E.
Published: April 2024

This article introduces the various water resources available to Namibia, an arid country in southern Africa. With low and extremely variable annual rainfall and high evaporation rates, surface water is scarce. Permanent rivers are only found along the southern and northern borders. Ephemeral rivers flow for short periods after thundershowers and few reach the ocean. Many ephemeral rivers sink into the gravelly and sandy riverbeds, where they feed alluvial aquifers. Groundwater is the only water source for about 80% of the territory. Dams were built in ephemeral rivers to create artificial lakes that play an important role in water provision for urban areas, irrigation schemes and mines. Despite the extreme aridity, Namibia has a variety of wetland habitats, including five Ramsar sites.

Efficient control of the heating system in residential buildings is of outstanding importance for energy efficiency, comfort, and emissions reduction. The use of mathematical modelling and simulation allows for the investigation and optimization of various heating control modes. During the study, we developed mathematical models to describe different control modes of the heating system in residential buildings. The most commonly used modes were constant setpoint control, variable setpoint control, weather-compensation control, and PID control. Among these, we compared the constant setpoint On/Off thermostat control with the variable setpoint control based on normal and reduced temperature time programs.Based on the models, we analysed the effectiveness and energy-saving potential of these two different control modes. The simulations were conducted using meteorological measurement data. The results showed that the variable setpoint control leads to 8,4% energy saving with minimal or negligible decrease in comfort, thus ensuring lower emissions.It can be concluded that through mathematical modelling and simulation, it is possible to conduct detailed examinations and comparisons of the heating system control modes in residential buildings. Based on the findings, designers and engineers can develop more efficient and sustainable heating solutions for residential buildings.
Wing Dimorphism/polymorphism in True Bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) From a Functional Viewpoint - a Review
Authors: Gidó Zsolt
Published: April 2024

This is the second part of the article where the available information from the published literature on the wing dimorphism/polymorphism occurring among true bugs (Heteroptera) is reviewed from a functional viewpoint. This paper covers the case studies on phytophagous species and draws some general conclusions.  Wing dimorphism/polymorphism has been studied in detail at the red firebug: Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus, 1758), at some blissid species - mainly at the Oriental chinch bug: Cavelerius saccharivorus (Okajima,1922) - at some lygaeid species and at the red-shouldered soapberry bug Jadera haematoloma (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847) (Rhopalidae).  In general, the macropterous form has a delayed sexual maturation, which further enhances its dispersal ability but represents an obvious reproductive disadvantage. In most known cases of the hemipteran wing dimorphism/polymorphism the wing form is affected by environmental factors (polyphenism), but examples of genetically determined wing dimorphism also have been documented among Lygaeinae. Seasonal wing dimorphism/polymorphism is very common among the well-studied northern temperate species. Wing dimorphic/polymorphic phytophagous “outbreak” species (Blissidae, Leptoterna dolobrata) react with mass production of the otherwise rare macropters to high population density and altered food quality. An underlying wing muscle dimorphism/polymorphism frequently co-exists with the externally visible wing dimorphism/polymorphism. Known cases of full or partial de-alation are also mentioned and briefly discussed.
Effect of Conservation Tillage on Earthworms in a Long-term Farm Experiment (Hungary)
Authors: Madarász Balázs , Benke Szabolcs
Published: April 2024

Conventional ploughing tillage is associated with significant soil degradation. Erosion is increasing while soil organic matter is decreasing and life circumstances of soil biota are deteriorating. Non-inversion conservation tillage tends to provide better conditions for soil fauna due to less disturbance, more organic matter and higher soil moisture content. In our study, we investigate the effects of 18 years of conservation tillage on earthworm abundance and biomass. Our study was carried out on a 90 ha area divided into 10 pairs of plots in Southern Hungary close to Dióskál. Samples were taken in spring and autumn during the first 3 years after the shift from conventional to conservation tillage (2004–2006) and then after 15 years the sampling was repeated in the 3-year-period of 2019–2021. Samples were collected with a soil sampler of 10 cm diameter and height. Our results show that the number of earthworms increased explosively after the shift. However, their abundance do not increase after years, but their number and biomass are significantly higher in all periods of the study in conservation tillage areas.

Published: April 2024

The land reflects the identity and spirit of the nation that are ingrained in the life of the Talang Mamak indigenous community, in addition to serving as an economic resource. Change in land status has several implications for their relationship with the land and its management. The purpose of this study is to examine the position of land for the Talang Mamak indigenous people. In addition, it analyses the implications of changing the status of land from customary forest to national park forest. This qualitative study employs the sociological law research approach by looking into the legal facts of the indigenous society of Talang Mamak in light of their relationship, ownership, and management of land. The main finding of this study is that the value of that land, due to its significant meaning and position, cannot be isolated from the Talang Mamak indigenous people. Nevertheless, the change in land status has created gaps and limited rights in forest management, highlighting several implications for the identity of the Talang Mamak indigenous people.

Jaje je nutritivno visokovrijedna namirnica koja se može obogatiti različitim funkcionalnim sastojcima. Cilj rada bio je proizvesti jaja obogaćena omega-3 masnim kiselinama, usporediti proizvodne pokazatelje te utvrditi utjecaj vremena čuvanja jaja na pokazatelje unutarnje kvalitete jaja i oksidaciju masti u konvencionalnim i obogaćenim jajima. U istraživanju je upotrijebljeno 480 kokoši nesilica hibrida TETRA SL. Nesilice su podijeljene u tri pokusne skupine, kontrolna i dvije pokusne (K, P1 i P2). Svaka skupina imala je 160 nesilica podijeljenih u 16 ponavljanja, s 10 nesilica u svakom. Kontrolna skupina nesilica dobivala je hranu s 5 % sojina ulja. Skupina nesilica P1 konzumirala je hranu u kojoj je kombinirano riblje (1,5 %) i laneno ulje (3,5 %), a skupina nesilica P2 dobivala je hranu s 2 % ribljega i 3 % lanena ulja. Nesilice su dizajniranim smjesama hranjene četiri tjedna, a hranu i vodu dobivale su ad libitum. Krmne smjese bile su izbalansirane na 17,0 % sirovih proteina i 12,1 MJ/kg metaboličke energije. Dodatak kombinacije ulja u krmne smjese za nesilice značajno (P<0,001) je smanjio omjer Σn-6/Σn-3 polinezasićenih masnih kiselina (PUFA) u pokusnim smjesama u odnosu na kontrolnu. Sukladno omjeru PUFA-e u krmnim smjesama kretao se i omjer u jajima (K=10,36; P1=1,88 i P2=1,98; P<0,001). Korišteni hranidbeni tretmani nisu imali utjecaja na završne mase nesilica (P>0,05). Proizvodni pokazatelji (broj jaja po nesilici, masa jaja, intenzitet nesivosti i konzumacija hrane) bili su ujednačeni u svim ispitivanim skupinama. Značajan utjecaj (P<0,001) na sve pokazatelje kvalitete jaja (visina bjelanjka, boja žumanjka, Houghove jedinice/HJ, pH bjelanjka i žumanjka) imalo je vrijeme čuvanja jaja. Hranidbeni tretman značajno je utjecao na pH bjelanjka (P<0,001), dok je interakcija hranidbenoga tretmana i vremena čuvanja utjecala na vrijednosti boje žumanjka i pH vrijednosti bjelanjka i žumanjka (P<0,05). U vrijednostima oksidacije lipida TBARS (Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances) u žumanjcima jaja nisu ustanovljenje značajne razlike između skupina svježih niti hlađenih jaja (P>0,05). Rezultati prikazanih analiza ukazuju da konzumacija krmnih smjesa korištenih u ovome pokusu uspješno povećava sadržaj omega-3 PUFA u jajima, a ne narušava proizvodne pokazatelje i kvalitetu jaja. Rezultati također ukazuju da je važno voditi računa o vremenu i načinu čuvanja jaja, jer vrijeme čuvanja ima značajan utjecaj na promjene u vrijednostima pokazatelja kvalitete jaja.

Published: April 2024

Context: Cerebellum is involved in the maintenance of balance and posture, coordination of voluntary movements, motor learning and cognitive functions. The weight of the human cerebellum at birth is only a fraction of the adult weight then weight increases up to certain age and decreases in old age. So, the present study was performed to observe the weight of the cerebellum in different age groups of Bangladeshi cadaver which will serve as a baseline data for clinicians regarding management of neurological disorders in our country.

Materials and Methods: A cross sectional, analytical type of study was carried out in the department of Anatomy, Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh from April’ 2009 to September ’2009. A total of 63 cerebellums were collected from unclaimed Bangladeshi cadavers aged between 5 to 60 years and from dead fetuses obtained from caesarian section aged between 34 wks to 41 wks of gestation. The collected sample was grouped into three age groups like Group A (34 to 41 weeks of gestation), Group B (5 to 30 years) and Group C (31 to 60 years). Each cerebellum was weighed by means of a scientific balance.

Results: The mean (±SD) weight was 17.91±3.05 gm in Group A, 125.91±15.24 gm in Group B and 115.29±18.06 gm in Group C.

Conclusion: The present study shows that the mean weight of the cerebellum increases with age upto certain level then slightly decreases in the late age.

On the Hydrofauna of the First Batabat Water Reservoir
Authors: Bayramov A. , Maharramov M.
Published: April 2024

For the first time generalized data on hydrofauna of the First Batabat reservoir are given. In the fauna 6 species of zooplanktonic organisms are revealed, with absolute predominance of large predatory copepod Hemidiaptomus rylovi Charin, 1928. The mean body length of fertilized egg-bearing female crustaceans was 3.6 mm to the furca and 5.1 mm to the tip of the telson. In the ecosystem, Daphnia pulex Leydig, 1860 typically produces its last parthenogenetic generation in September. In the macrozoobenthos of the reservoir, 40 species of macrobenthic organisms were found, with the Heteroptera (9 species) and the Chironomidae family (9 species) predominating in terms of the number of species. According to all its ecological indicators Gammarus lacustris (Sars, 1863) is the dominant bottom organism of the ecosystem. The maximum number of population individuals — 346 spec./m2 and biomass — 2804 g/m2 was calculated in the last decade of June 2017. Being a detritophage with a wide food spectrum, individuals of the higher crayfish have an abundant food base in the reservoir. The first Batabat reservoir located in the high mountainous region of the autonomous republic and having favorable natural and geographical conditions is characterized by high biological productivity.
Lactate Concentration and Its Changes in the Blood of 3-month-old Rabbits
Authors: Bayramova N.
Published: April 2024

It was performed on 3-month-old rabbits, which were exposed to acute (20 minutes) and severe form of exogenous hypoxia (forced breathing in a nitrogen atmosphere with 5% O2 in pressure chamber conditions). Immediately after that (in the 1st, 3rd and 6th hours), the amount of lactate in their blood was determined. First, we studied the normal level of lactate in the blood of 3-month-old guinea pigs, then we subjected them to a hypoxia load and determined lactate. This series of experiments conducted by us allows us to get an idea of how blood lactate levels initially change in 3-month-old rabbits that have not yet reached sexual maturity under normal conditions and during the effects of various severe loads (such as acute hypoxia, long-term immobilization, and fast running). Here, we want to mention once again about lactate that this simple carbohydrate metabolite, along with other simple carbohydrates such as pyruvate (pyruvic acid) in the human and animal body, when there is a lack of oxygen in its cells, the glycolysis process (anaerobic decomposition of glucose) is carried out even faster, is an indicator of metabolic and functional importance that allows us to make judgments about its end products and at the same time its intensity and duration. As a final product of glycolysis, lactate accumulated in cells and tissues causes a change in the buffer systems there, an increase in the activity of the acidic range of pH (acidosis) and other negative reactions. An increase in the amount of lactate in the blood is considered a relatively weak toxic factor for the body. From this point of view, lactate is one of the harmful metabolites of the body. But studies have shown that the lactate formed as a result of glycolysis and other carbohydrate exchange processes is also used for the resynthesis (resynthesis) of sugars that are energetically useful for the body, that is, the body uses it as an energetic substrate. Therefore, the pronounced change in the level of lactate in the blood can also be considered as a kind of adaptive-defense reaction.

House plants are mainly tropical and subtropical plants that grow in tropical and subtropical forests of Asia, Africa, America, and Australia. Therefore, in our conditions it is cultivated as a houseplant. Zantedeschia aethiopica (L.) Spreng. is one of the cultivated and favorite crescent plants of the Autonomous Republic. The species belongs to the genus ZantedeschiaSpreng. and the family Araceae. Zantedeschia aethiopica is native to South Africa. Used as a flower, green, indoor and outdoor ornamental plant. The genus is divided into 7 species and two subspecies. Fertilizer feeding is given to indoor plants 2-3 times a month from spring to autumn, provided that mineral fertilizers are alternated with organic ones. It is necessary to supply the solution mixed with fertilizer to indoor plants in such a way that it is applied to the soil in the pot, without spraying it on the leaves.

Published: April 2024

Immunological aspects of respiratory diseases due to altitude can have a significant impact on the pathogenesis and clinical course of the disease. Research objectives: to study changes in cellular and humoral immunity in children with respiratory diseases living in areas of Kyrgyzstan located at different altitudes above sea level. This study used methods to assess cellular and humoral immunity in 209 children living at various altitudes above sea level in Kyrgyzstan. Research results contribute to a deeper understanding of the immunological mechanisms underlying respiratory diseases in children at high altitudes, which may be of practical importance for the development of more effective methods for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such diseases. It is assumed that at high altitude the number of allergens in the body decreases, in particular, the number of dust mites, which often act as a provoking factor in allergic respiratory diseases.
Research of the Wear Rate of Elements of the Flow Part of Centrifugal and Axial Pumping Units

Published: April 2024

The paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental study of the wear rate of the elements of the flow part of centrifugal and axial pumps. Theoretical formulas recommended by various authors, obtained for models with flat samples based on energy theory, do not take into account the features of hydraulic machines. Considering the movement of solid particles in the inter-blade channels of the impellers of centrifugal and axial pumps, calculation schemes were chosen that correspond to the hydraulic and physical wear processes. The analysis shows that the influence of centrifugal and inertial forces in the inter-blade channel of the impellers of centrifugal and axial pumps causes separation and redistribution of solid particles in the flow. As a result, in centrifugal pumps in the end part of the blade and axial pumps in the end gap of the impeller, the local concentration of solid particles increases compared to the average. The work also provides dependencies for calculating the intensity of water-abrasive wear of pump working parts.
