Published: November 2021

This research is motivated by the tendency of a literal understanding of Islamic texts regarding compliance with halal tourism based on sharia economics. This study aims to analyze the text of the hadith, which is the basis for compliance with halal tourism from a sharia economic perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach through literature study by applying the takhrij hadith method, while the interpretation in the discussion of this study uses content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the hadith text, which is the basis for compliance with halal tourism from a sharia economic perspective, is of hasan quality because it can be applied as an Islamic practice. The discussion results explain that applying the text of hadith requires contextualization so that it does not narrow the concept of universal halal tourism with a sharia label, especially the necessity of sharia economics. This study concludes that Indonesia is a conducive country through moderate understanding that connects Islamic texts between universal values ​​and local values ​​ to ensure that the homeland can become a centre for halal tourism destinations in the world.

Published: November 2021

Background

Despite interest in low-grade albuminuria and poor clinical outcomes, evidence from a large-scale population is lacking. Therefore, we identified the association of low-grade albuminuria within the normal range with all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality.

Methods

After excluding individuals with urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥30 mg/g (n=6094), this cohort study analyzed 43,396 adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999–2016). Participants were divided into four quartiles of ACR. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, and the secondary outcome was CV mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used.

Results

During a median 7.9 years of follow-up, 3516 (9%) participants died. Compared with the reference group (Q1, ACR <4.171 mg/g), low-grade albuminuria groups were associated with all-cause mortality (Q3, ACR ≥6.211 to <10.010 mg/g, hazard ratio [HR], 1.25 [95% CI, 1.11 to 1.41]; Q4, ACR ≥10.010 mg/g, HR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.41 to 1.76]) in a multivariable hazards model. A similar pattern was also seen in the association of low-grade albuminuria with CV mortality. Subgroup analyses showed that low-grade albuminuria was also associated with all-cause mortality in the nondiabetic group, nonhypertensive group, and non-CKD group (eGFR ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2).

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that low-grade albuminuria is associated with all-cause and CV mortality. Low-grade albuminuria should be monitored, even for patients with low CV risk.

Published: November 2021

Mesnevî nazım şekli, her beyti kendi arasında kafiyeli olması ve beyit sınırlaması olmaması hasebiyle uzun anlatılması gereken konuların anlatımında en çok tercih edilen nazım şekli olmuştur. Müellifler ilmî, ahlâkî, tarihî eserler ile hikâye ve efsane gibi konuları mesnevî nazım şekliyle kaleme almışlar, bazı şâirler beş mesnevî yazarak “hamse sahibi şâirler” olarak isimlerini edebiyat tarihimizde ön plana çıkarmışlardır.
16. yüzyıl Klasik Türk edebiyatının önemli şahsiyetlerinden biri olan Taşlıcalı Yahyâ Bey’e bu şöhreti kazandıran husus dîvân sahibi olmasının yanında hamse sahibi de olmasıdır. Hamsesinde yer alan mesnevîleri incelediğimizde ise Yahyâ Bey’in şiire olan yeteneğini görmenin yanında özellikle sebeb-i te’lif bölümlerinde onun hayatına ve iç dünyasına dair izleri de buluruz.
Bu çalışmada Taşlıcalı Yahyâ Bey’in hamsesinde yer alan mesnevîlerin sebeb-i te’lif bölümleri mukayeseli olarak incelenmiştir. Hayatının farklı dönemlerinde kaleme aldığı mesnevîlerin yazılış sebeplerinin ortak yönleri ve ayrıştıkları hususlar tespite çalışılmıştır. Yahyâ Bey’in okuyucuyla hasbihâl ettiğini de söyleyebileceğimiz sebeb-i te’lif bölümlerinde yer alan beyitlerden hareketle biyografisine ve iç dünyasına dair hususlara da dikkat çekilmiştir.

При цьому бачимо суттєвіші відмінності між показниками студентів гуманітарних та природничих спеціальностей, що свідчить про те, що для гуманітаріїв потрібно збільшити кількість годин на вивчення зазначеного модуля або впровадити нову навчальну дисципліну.
ФЕНОМЕН МЕДІАОСВІТИ В ПРОФЕСІЙНО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНОМУ ДИСКУРСІ
Authors: Хижняк І. А. , Ішутіна О. Є.
Published: November 2021

Глобалізаційні процеси в суспільстві, а також швидкі темпи цифровізації актуалізують ролі освіти в умовах сьогодення. Сучасний освітній процес нерозривно пов’язаний із інформаційно-комунікаційними технологіями та засобами масової комунікації, що підкреслює актуальність досліджень у галузі медіаосвіти. Наявні розбіжності у трактуванні феномену медіаосвіти зумовили мету дослідження. Зауважено, що в нормативних документах медіаосвіта в Україні тлумачиться як складова освітнього процесу, спрямована на формування медіакультури, підготовку особистості до безпечної та ефективної взаємодії із сучасною системою традиційних (друковані видання, радіо, кіно, телебачення) і новітніх (комп’ютерно-опосередковане спілкування, Інтернет, мобільна телефонія) засобів масової комунікації. Автори проаналізували різні визначення медіаосвіти українських і зарубіжних науковців у контексті професійно-педагогічного дискурсу і дійшли висновку, що в науковому полі України паралельно функціонують розуміня медіаосвіти як вивчення медіа і навчання за допомогою медіа. Автори пояснюють цей факт взаємонакладанням двох запозичених із зарубіжної наукової термінології понять – медіаосвіта (media education) і вивчення медіа (media studies), які обидва спрямовані на формування і розвиток медіаграмотності (media literacy) особистості. Зважаючи на багатогранність феномену медіаосвіти, автори зауважують розбіжності у трактуванні цього поняття зарубіжними і вітчизняними науковцями: у зарубіжних дослідження наголошено на формуванні особистості автономної від медіа, здатної критично мислити і аналізувати медіатексти. У вітчизняних дослідженнях медіаосвіта більше спрямована на підготовку особистості до життя і ефективної взаємодії в інформаційному суспільстві, а також на формування готовності працювати з медіаобладнанням та використовувати можливості медіа в освітньому процесі.

Authors: Лобачова І. М. , Помирча С. В.
Published: November 2021

У статті розглянуто функціонування гендерних стереотипів у романі О. Ільченка «Козацькому роду нема переводу…» як творі художньої літератури, у якому висвітлено етнолінгвістичні норми гендерної культури українського народу. Проаналізовано гендерні стереотипи на позначення віку, зовнішності, соціальних ролей і психологічних особливостей, що вможливило зробити висновок про схожість гендерних стереотипів минулого й сучасності. Виокремлено стереотипізовані риси зовнішності та вікові характеристики чоловіків і жінок. З’ясовано, що соціальні стереотипи виражені передусім сімейними ролями. Виокремлені психологічні стереотипи вказують на позитивну оцінку чоловіка й часто негативну жінки.

Unit Commitment Problem with Emission Cost Constraints by Using Genetic Algorithm
Authors: YILDIRIM Mehmet , ÖZCAN Mustafa
Published: November 2021

A power system’s operating cost needs to be minimized by satisfying varying load demand while taking into account the prevailing constraints in a multiple unit electrical power system. In this study, by using genetic algorithms (GA), a short-term thermal unit commitment problem was solved and an economical generating unit schedule was made with the solution obtained. Taking into account the negative effects of emissions due to the use of fossil fuels, emission costs were added to the objective function together with fuel and start-up costs. The GA chromosome structure was formed by binary encoding, new generations were selected by roulette wheel selection mechanism and single point crossover was applied. The representation, formulation and the simulation results of the problem for a 5-unit test system during the scheduling hours of the period are presented. The number and the operating hours of the generating units to be committed were determined by satisfying the prevailing constraints. During the planning period, 13360 MW of power demand was met by 755 MW of spinning reserve. Total operating cost was calculated as $430330. Of the total operating cost, 32% consists of emission costs.
Web-mapping of solar energy potential in Yakutia
Authors: Titov German , Prasolova Anna , Kargashin Pavel
Published: November 2021

It is cost effective and environmentally rational to develop renewable energy source in sthe territories of decentralized energy supply, since it allows replacing diesel power generation. Yakutia has a high potential for the development of solar energy and 64 % of its area is in the zone of decentralized energy supply. The features of web mapping—interactivity, multiscale and availability—are useful for assessment of big multi-temporal data on solar resources at the regional scale.

Web mapping shows one parameter for Yakutia—all sky insolation incident on a horizontal surface per day per square meter. The parameter is used to assess the potential of solar energy resources in the territory. Initial data comes from the Surface meteorology and Solar Energy archive of the NASA Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource—SSE NASA POWER project. It includes monthly and annual average global grids for each year from 1984 to 2018. The web application allows users to map the data by grid points, by administrative units and by watersheds. Users can interactively set a period with an accuracy of a month and a territorial division for drawing up a map. The web-based mapping application allows users to create about 50,000 web maps in total. The number based on query combinations available to the user.

A large amount of data used for web mapping requires the development of an information system for the dynamic delivery of data at the user’s request. Data preprocessing algorithm helps efficiently aggregate data “on-the-fly” for various territorial units. The DeckGL cartographic library gives high-performance visualization of big spatial data in the browser. We use PostgreSQL and Flask software to develop the information system.

Web mapping is useful for the assessment of solar energy resources specifically at the regional level. Interactive tools provided by the web-based mapping applications deepen the analytical content of the cartographic work. There are notable changes in the data preparation through the design of web-based mapping applications in comparison with regular maps.
A case-study of tree inventory and mapping of public green spaces
Authors: Vasilieva Ekaterina , Nikolaeva Olga , Trubina Lyudmila
Published: November 2021

The article presents the results of research in the field of mapping the ecological state of city trees. Public green spaces are subject to constant and intense anthropogenic impact, which necessitates prompt and thorough monitoring and control of their state. However, the current methodology for the inventory of public green spaces is methodologically outdated long ago and does not take into account the modern techniques of remote sensing and GIS technologies in the field of obtaining information about natural objects. The article substantiates a new approach, which consists in using freely distributed remote sensing data to obtain information about the location and main ecological characteristics of trees that are part of urban public greening. A schematic diagram of the inventory of public green spaces using Earth remote sensing materials is presented. Requirements for map symbols used on digital maps of public green spaces are formulated. The symbols developed taking into account the existing system of symbols for large-scale topographic maps are given. The advantages and disadvantages of the developed system, and the corrections made to it, are noted. Fragments of created digital maps of public green spaces are presented. The landscaping of streets and highways in Novosibisk and Yakutsk and a park in Novosibirsk were assessed and mapped. The spatial position of city trees and the main types of disturbance in their condition (the presence of multi-stems, dead stems and branches, damaged crowns, etc.) were determined. The results showed the consistency of the proposed approach for operational environmental assessment and mapping of linear green spaces. When studying and mapping areal urban plantings, it is advisable to provide for an additional survey with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles to control thickened tall vegetation. Thus, the proposed approach minimizes field surveys of the territory, which significantly saves time and costs for an inventory of public green spaces.
Ecological and economic values mapping of Tunkinsky national park ecosystems of the Republic of Buryatia
Authors: Vorobyevskaya Elena , Kirillov Sergey , Slipenchuk Mikhail , Zhuravlev Viktor
Published: November 2021

The underestimation of ecosystem services that exists today is explained by the complexity of the value expression of its various functions and interrelationships. Naturally, it is impossible to fully determine the economic value of nature, since the value of goods irreplaceable for life tends to infinity. At the same time, the value indicator of these benefits in a market economy is a determining condition for financial support for the preservation and self-reproduction of natural ecosystems. In the context of the formation of global markets for ecosystem services, the prospects for the ecological and economic assessment of specially protected natural areas are great. Such assessments should become mandatory for the regions and be taken into account in their development strategies. This also applies to the territory of Tunkinsky National Park, located in the Republic of Buryatia, which has become an object of mapping. Based on the concept of total economic value, the component and aggregate values of the cost of direct use of a number of services of the national park were calculated. The information on the nature and use of natural resources in the study area served as the basis for ecological and economic calculations. A map of the natural-territorial complexes of Tunkinsky National Park was compiled, the analysis of which made it possible to get an idea of the distribution of the main natural-territorial complexes within the study area, as well as to determine their areas. The assessment of direct ecosystem services was carried out based on the productivity of biological resources for a number of species of animals, fish, wild plants, as well as recreational and pasture resources. The assessment of indirect services is calculated on the basis of carbon sequestration by forests and swamps, filtration capacity of swamps. The conducted ecological and economic assessment and its visual display on the maps of the studied territory can help in the development of ways to optimize nature management, which will contribute to the careful use of natural resources, diversification of its structure in order to preserve the ecological framework of the territory, ethnocultural and landscape diversity.
Como será o torcedor de futebol pós-pandemia?
Authors: Koch Rodrigo
Published: November 2021

A partir de estudos recentes sobre hábitos dos torcedores de futebol contemporâneos que dão indicativos sobre mudanças em curso ou que se aproximam – e que talvez tenham sido aceleradas pela pandemia – este artigo faz breves análises sobre possíveis transformações na configuração dos aficionados. Foram utilizados como base referencial estudos acadêmicos e pesquisas de opinião dos últimos anos, além de palestras realizadas em formatos online e material disponível na mídia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica documental, que se vale também de imagens e sons, com posterior análise de discurso. São lançadas algumas hipóteses que poderão ou não se confirmar num futuro próximo, assim que o público retornar aos estádios pós-pandemia. Percebe-se que há um crescimento e aceleramento de categorias que apresentam torcedores com vínculos líquidos e fugazes, ou sem vínculos; fato que poderá alterar consideravelmente o cenário futuro dos torcedores ou aficionados do futebol.

In this essay, we center hip-hop culture and Black cultural legacies.  We envision and offer a two-fold framework which illuminates the intersection between the two. We explore ways that the Black cultural experience (or better yet Black cultural praxis) has always brilliantly and organically demonstrated the shape and form of a scholarship of consequence.  Black cultural praxis, or reflective action with a Black emancipatory influence, has always allowed freedom of movement, freedom of body, freedom of tongue, and freedom of voice. We translate what this cultural praxis teaches and urges regarding the transformation, unbinding, and freeing of both educators and educational spaces. We demonstrate how the intersection of hip-hop culture and Black cultural legacies can be instructive and transformative to educators. We invite educators to reimagine their classroom spaces by not only focusing on learning about hip hop but from it as well.

diabetic patients.
CHANGING TRENDS IN AETIOLOGY OF LIVER DISEASES IN IMMIGRANTS IN SOUTHERN ITALY: FATTY LIVER, AN OBSERVATIONAL RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Scotto Gaetano , Fazio Vincenzina
Published: November 2021

The rate of migration in Italy is constantly growing with immigrants
making up about 8.7% of the country's population and 4.8% in our
district (Foggia-Puglia, Southern Italy) (1). These are people who are
both already resident in Italy for one or more generations, and new
arrivals. Migrants in our geographical area mainly come from Eastern
Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle-East and South Asia. Such a high
number of immigrants result in a minor change in the epidemiological
pattern of diseases with an increase in certain infections, which are
imported or contracted in our country such as HIV, TB and viral
hepatitis (2), but can also include cancers, cardio-cerebrovascular and
autoimmune diseases (3-4). Other major health concerns mainly
include metabolic syndrome (5), as well as problems related to social
discomfort such as alcoholism (6). The incidences of hyperlipidaemia,
obesity and diabetes mellitus amongst immigrants, has increased
signicantly over the years due to social and economic progression,
and lifestyle changes, which in some cases are due to high-fat and highsugar diets and a lack of physical exercise (5-7). One of the most
common clinical problems is fatty liver (FL): a metabolic disorder
characterized by an excessive accumulation of triglycerides in
hepatocytes that can be induced by multiple causes. Chronic alcohol
intake is certainly one of the main causes (ALD), while another
important reason is NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease),
which represents the hepatic component of metabolic syndrome (8).
FL has now become a major cause of liver related morbidity and
mortality, with an incidence of around 20-25% worldwide. It is present
mainly in native populations of developed countries, but its prevalence
is also increasing amongst immigrants (8-10).

Authors: Onakpa M.M.
Published: November 2021

Inflammation is a pervasive phenomenon elicited by the body in response to obnoxious stimuli as a protective measure. However, a sustained inflammation lead to several diseases including cancer therefore the necessity to neutralize inflammation is paramount. Mitragyna inermis is a medicinal plant traditionally used as a medicine in Ayurveda and other folk systems of medicine. It is commonly used to treat inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. Despite this fact its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects have not been evaluated scientifically. Therefore, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of M. inermis were studied in Wistar rats by different methods. The hot plate, acetic acid, and tail immersion tests were used to evaluate the analgesic activity whereas paw edema model for acute inflammation using egg albumin were used to study the anti-inflammatory activity. The administration of 250 and 300 mg/kg to rats reduced pain and inflammation indicating that M. inermis possesses analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The maximum analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities were observed in rats receiving 300 mg/kg of M. inermis extract. This study indicates that methanolic extract of M. inermis possess both anti-inflammatory and analgesic activiti

Authors: Salami O. S
Published: November 2021

Ascariasis is a neglected tropical disease prevalent in areas with poor hygiene and low standard of living in tropical countries. Hyptis suaveolens is been used traditionally around the world for various ailments. The aim of the study was to evaluate the anthelminthic activity of the methanolic leaf extract of the plant on the three life cycle stages of Ascaris suum synonymous to Ascaris lumbricoides. The phytochemical analysis of the extract was evaluated. The in-vitro anthelminthic activity of the methanolic leaf extract of Hyptis suaveolens on the egg hatchability and larva inhibition of Ascaris suum were assessed using Bizimenyara inhibition method, where 100 eggs were counted and incubated in 5 different plate-wells containing positive control, negative control and 3 concentrations (50, 70 and 100 mg/ml) of extract. The plate wells were brought out after incubation and content examined under the microscope. The effect of the methanolic leaf extract and pyrantel pamoate on cuticle peeling, motility and mortality were evaluated using adult worms. The egg hatchability and larval development after incubation for 48 h and 21 days significantly (p<0.05 for both) inhibited with 98% unhatched eggs and 95% undeveloped larva of A. suum respectively. There was significant (p<0.05) visible peeling of cuticles, reduced motility and mortality of the adult worms after 30, 12 and 80 minutes respectively. It can be concluded that H. suaveolens has anthelminthic activity on A. suum which may be attributed to some of the phytochemical constituents.

Authors: Umaru B
Published: November 2021

Turmeric (curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family and the order Zingerberales. It is widely cultivated and used in the treatment of various ailments. In this study, the effect of aqueous extract of C. longa on isolated rabbit jejunum was investigated in vitro using Physiograph (Meditech, India). The rhizome of Curcumin was extracted using Soxhlet extraction method and distilled water was used as a solvent. The elemental analysis was determined using AAS and the result revealed the presence of Potassium, Magnesium, Iron and Nitrogen. The percentage concentrations of trace elements in the aqueous Curcumin rhizome were within the WHO standard limit. The aqueous extract at concentration tested (100 mg/ml) significantly decreased (p<0.05) jejunum smooth muscle contraction. Addition of Atropine (1mM) or Propranolol (1mM) further decreased the amplitude of jejunum smooth muscle contraction. Curcumin rhizome (100 mg/ml) blocked contraction induced by Ach (0.001μg/ml). The result of this work has shown that rhizome of C. longa produced jejunum smooth muscle relaxation, plant extract with antispasmodic activity may reduce gastrointestinal motility thereby delay gastric emptying and may be important in treatment of disease ailments like diarrhoea and colic.

Authors: Adam M.
Published: November 2021

Tiger nut is a small tuberous rhizome with medicinal and antioxidant properties. The present study was conducted to investigate the ameliorative effect of the methanol extract of tiger nut against the oxidative stress induced by lead acetate poisoning in Red Sokoto goat (RSG). Twelve adults Red Sokoto goat (16.50 ± 1.41 to 21.92 ± 0.97 kg) were grouped into four. Group I was administered with equivalent volume of distilled water. Group II was administered with lead acetate (200 mg/kg) only. Group III was administered with methanol extract of tiger nut (METN) (150 mg/kg) and lead acetate (200 mg/kg). Group IV was administered METN (200 mg/kg) only. The serum oxidative stress changes in the different experimental groups were determined by commercial kits. The distilled water group showed no toxic response. The lead acetate (200 mg/kg) group showed decreased activity levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The co-treatment groups with lead acetate and METN showed an increase in serum glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, CAT and SOD. Additionally, there was a decreased MDA concentration in the same group. The group administered with METN only showed slight changes in the activities of oxidative stress makers. In conclusion, Oxidative stress biomarkers such as glutathione peroxidases, superoxide dismutase, catalase and malondialdehyde were altered in a manner indicative of oxidative stress following lead acetate exposure and ameliorated to some extent by methanolic extract of tiger nut.

Published: November 2021

In this work we present the creation, annihilation and dynamics of a topologically protected magnetic structure, a skyrmion, for neuromorphic computing application. We study the effect of Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction (DMI) and surface anisotropy on the skyrmion density. The relation between skyrmion annihilation threshold anisotropy Kth and DMI coefficient is evaluated. Furthermore, the skyrmion diameter dependence on these two parameters is studied. Using MOKE analysis we study the effect of external magnetic field on the skyrmion density and predict the threshold magnetic field for the transition of magnetic texture from Labriynth domains to skyrmions. These results are further supported by the MuMax simulations. The spin orbit torque SOT manipulation of skyrmion size and density is also presented for skyrmion applications in the race-track memory and neuromorphic computing. Motivated by the results, we propose a Skyrmionic neuromorphic device and using SOT switching mechanism, show its applicability as spintronic synapse and neuron. The MuMax simulations are coupled to the Non- Equilibrium Green’s Function formalism to model the neuron and synapse behavior. Finally, we conclude with the possibility of using these devices for pattern recognition and other unconventional computing paradigms.

Published: November 2021

In this article, we present CarLink, a new simulation platform with hardware-in-the-loop (HiL), designed and implemented to reduce the time spent on field tests through the emulation of a complex vehicular scenario in a controlled laboratory environment. Specifically, CarLink can simulate a generic traffic scenario and let each vehicle in it communicate with a vehicle under test (VUT), which is actually physically available HiL and equipped with long- and short-range wireless communication capabilities. Communication between simulated vehicles and the VUT is provided by an external management unit (EMU) that integrates the virtual world with the physical one. The architecture is also designed to allow the integration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) testing for the validation of future connected and automated vehicles.

Introduction. Acute febrile diseases kill more than 250,000 people annually in West Africa. Malaria and typhoid fever traditionally occupy most of the total structure of registered fevers. However, these data do not fully reflect the true overall disease patterns in the West African region. This is due to the fact that diagnosis is mainly based on the clinical signs of the infectious process, suggesting that a certain number of diseases may be caused by arboviruses. The detection of specific antibodies (ABs) to infectious pathogens in the blood sera of residents of a particular area is a reliable indicator of the circulation of these pathogens in a particular territory.The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of antibodies to a number of arboviruses: Dengue (DENV), West Nile (WNV) (family Flaviviridae), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (orthonairo)virus (CCHFV), Batai (Batai virus), Bhanja (BHAV) (order Bunyavirales), Chikungunya (CHIKV), and Sindbis (SINV) (family Togaviridae) in the population of the Republic of Guinea.Material and methods. In total, a panel of 2,620 blood serum samples from people living in all landscape and geographical areas of Guinea was collected for the study. Detection of IgG antibodies was performed using an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA).Results. In total, ABs to Batai virus were detected in 144 samples (5.5%), BHAV in 58 (2.2%), WNV in 892 (34.0 %), DENV in 659 (25.2 %), CCHFV in 58 (2.2 %), CHIKV in 339 (12.9 %), and SINV in 52 samples (2.0 %).Discussion. The obtained results indicate serological evidence of the spectrum of arboviruses in the population of all landscape and geographical zones of the Republic of Guinea, confirming their active circulation in this territory.Conclusion. Given the high epidemiological significance of arbovirus infectious diseases, it is an urgent task to continue studying its share in the structure of febrile diseases in the territory of the Republic of Guinea.
