Authors: Gasimzade T.
Published: October 2022

31 are species of the MedicagoL. genus — alfalfa common in the Caucasus, 21 in Azerbaijan. 1 of them is cultivated, 7 are distributed directly in the Shirvan territory. As a result of the studies carried out in 10 cenopopulations in different phytocenological arrays, it was revealed that the M. caerulea species is characteristic of all CPs, and at the same time is effective. In terms of age indices and efficiency indices in 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 populations, individuals belonging to the juvenile and immature periods of ontogenesis mainly dominate (Δ=0.08–0.28; ω=0.21–0,54). In 8 and 9 fully mature populations, the spread rate of the species, as well as their indices, were high (Δ=0.39–0.55; ω=0.82–0.89). Only in 5 and 6 populations were no individuals found belonging to the senile (s) and subsenile (ss) periods, which is one of the signs confirming the constant development of plant populations. The largest reserve for the annual exploitation of the M. caerulea species falls on the Kura-Araz lowland and the Pirgulu massif of the Shamakhi district. Thus, from the results obtained, it can be concluded that the supply and use of the plant in natural resources as food can be carried out continuously.

Authors: Mammadova A. , Valiyeva N. , Mammadova S.
Published: October 2022

In the western part of Azerbaijan, tomato plants currently make up half of the open and covered fields. In recent years, the range and damage possibilities of fungi, which were rarely encountered before and were not characterized by high damage, have expanded in the tomato plant belonging to the Solanaceae family. The route and stationary observation-calculation works conducted in the western part of Azerbaijan showed that numerous pathogens are spread in tomato crops. Among these diseases, it has been determined that powdery mildew disease, which was not of economic importance before, prevails due to its spread and damage to crops. A fungicide trial was conducted against the disease.

Morphogenetic Diagnostics and Nomenclature of Alluvial-Meadow Soils in the Subtropical Semiarid Area, Floodplain of the Kur River, Azerbaijan
Authors: Hasanov V.
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study was to evaluate morphologic features, diagnostic qualifiers and enhance classification of alluvial-meadow soils in the floodplain of the Kur River within Azerbaijan. For this purpose, several soil pits were placed in the representative test areas and multiple soil samples collected within field campaigns (2014–2015). Based on the field and laboratory test data, the detailed soil maps of the test areas were compiled, and diversity of alluvial-meadow soils was classified as suborders (subtypes): alluvial-meadow primitive; alluvial-meadow layered (flaggy); alluvial-meadow dark and alluvial-meadow irrigated. It was found out that in the floodplains, local soil variability was predominantly attributed to not only alluvial sediments, but also water table, mineralization rate and salt content of underground water as well flood water play an important role. The mineralization of ground water is weak (1.40–3.70 g/l) and the concentration of hydro-carbonates (HCO3−) varies from 0.56 to 0.92 g/l. No salinization indication found in the profile of alluvial-meadow primitive and alluvial-meadow layered soils, while weak concentration (solid content = 0.40–0.54%) was found at a depth of 80–150 cm in the alluvial-meadow dark soil. Unlike other subtypes, alluvial-meadow dark soil is characterized with the higher biomass (green weight of top = 41.5 cwt/ha and green weight of underground = 142.3 cwt/ha), high mobility of humus substances with predominance of the 1st fraction of humin (20.0–28.1%) and fulvic acids (14.6–22.3%). The ratio of Cha : Cfa reaches 1.18–1.32. For the alluvial-meadow irrigated soil, the second fraction of humin acid (9.3–10.2%) and total content of humin acid ranges from 45.6 to 50.3%. The ratio of Cha : Cfa is larger (1.37–1.50). Depending on the lithology of alluvial sediments, the content of SiO2and R2O3 varies in the ranges of 53.0–57.2% and 9,6–26,0%, respectively. For the alluvial-meadow dark soil, decomposition of alum silicates in alkaline hydrolysis is typical (8.7–9.0). The content of SiO2and R2O3 varies between 47.8 and 50.6 %, and 19.7 and 21.6%, respectively. In the topsoil, of the irrigated soils in associated to washing out the content of Ca and CaO content (12.2–13.1%) increases in deeper horizons.
The Effect of Salt Solutions on the DMDH Enzyme Activity in the Hordeum vulgare Primary Incubation
Authors: Asadova B.
Published: October 2022

Plants are subjected to a wide range of environmental stresses which reduces and limits the productivity of agricultural crops. Two types of environmental stresses are encountered to plants which can be categorized as abiotic stress and biotic stress. The abiotic stress causes the loss of major crop plants worldwide and includes radiation, soil salinization, floods, drought, extremes in temperature, heavy metals, etc. Abiotic stresses such as drought (water stress), excessive watering (water logging), extreme temperatures (cold, frost and heat), soil salinization and mineral toxicity negatively impact growth, development, yield and seed quality of crop and other plants. In future it is predicted that freshwater scarcity will increase and ultimately intensity of abiotic stresses will increase.

The Erosion Process Effect on the Physical-Chemical Properties of Grey-Brown Soils in Mountain Shirvan
Authors: Gadieva U.
Published: October 2022

In the article, the influence of the process of erosion on the physical and chemical properties of soil in Nagorny Shirvan is shown. In non-eroded soils, the main place among cations is occupied by Ca2+cation, Mg2+ cation is much smaller than it, and Na+ is very insignificant. As the degree of erosion increased, the amount of Ca2+cation decreased. No drastic changes were observed in the Mg2+cation. The Na+ cation increased as erosion increased, which in turn leads to soil compaction. The value of pH shows that the alkalinity of the soil actually increased without the development of erosion. This led to some weakening of soil fertility.

Concepts and Potential Future Developments for Treatment of Periprotethic Proximal Femoral Fractures
Authors: Dzhumabekov S. , Karmyshbekov M. , Izabekov Ch. , Subanbekov E.
Published: October 2022

Periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures are a major challenge for the orthopedic surgeon, with a continuously increasing incidence due to aging populations and concordantly increasing numbers of total hip replacements. Surgical decision-making mainly depends on the stability of the arthroplasty, and the quality of bone stock. As patients final outcomes mainly depend on early mobilization, a high primary stability of the construct is of particular relevance. Osteosynthetic procedures are usually applied for fractures with a stable arthroplasty, while fractures with a loosened endoprosthesis commonly require revision arthroplasty. Osteoporotic bone with insufficient anchoring substance for screws poses one major concern for cases with well-fixed arthroplasties. Complication rates and perioperative mortality have remained unacceptably high, emphasizing the need for new innovations in the treatment of periprosthetic fractures. Taking into account the presence of an intraosseous implant, we chose the tactics of surgical intervention using techniques that allow rigid fixation of the fragments of a periprosthetic fracture, which creates uniform compression around the stem of the endoprosthesis, which reduces the risk of loosening of the joint components in the interoperative and postoperative period: a technique with the use of a special plate.

Legal Status of Migrants From Kyrgyzstan in Russia
Authors: Abytov B. , Osmonov S.
Published: October 2022

A study by the International Labor Organization has confirmed that 10-20% of migrants from the CIS countries working illegally in Russia are subjected to such forms of exploitation and slave labor as seizure of documents, isolation and violation of the right to free movement, psychological abuse, threats, deceit, debt dependence, the impossibility of dismissal, and so on. To eliminate these risk factors, it is necessary that citizens of Kyrgyzstan leaving for work should at least know the internal migration legislation of Russia, the rules for carrying out labor and entrepreneurial activities, legalization, crossing borders, money transfer operations and others issues of life of migrants. Given that external migration is the most important social process that affects all aspects of public life, the Kyrgyz Republic has formed a legislative framework for regulating migration processes.

The Tip of the Iceberg Theory (Based on a Very Short Story by Ernest Hemingway)
Authors: Naimanova Ch. , Iliyaz k.N.
Published: October 2022

There is always something that distinguishes one author from another one. That something might be the genre, choice of the words, theme of the literary work, attitude of the author toward the characters, moral that can be extracted by the readers, and so on. Along with these distinctions Ernest Hemingway’s “iceberg” style of writing also has tremendous significance because it is mostly the style of writing that makes the author stand out from the rest. The main aim of the article is to reveal the “iceberg” of Hemingway through his short story “A Very Short Story”. In order to achieve this goal, we used discourse analysis which includes lexical and grammatical cohesion, deixis (person deixis, place deixis, time deixis, social deixis), presupposition, entailment, implicature, locution, illocution, and perlocution. Aforementioned elements also comprise sub-elements which we demonstrate in this article.
Economic Analysis of Prawn (Penaeus monodon) Culture in the Philippines, II: Grow-out Operations
Authors: HATCH U.
Published: October 2022

The dramatic fall in prawn prices coupled with environmental concerns has resulted in a relative stagnation of prawn grow-out operations in the Philippines. Leaders of the Philippine aquaculture sector are concerned that their cost of production is higher than that of their close competitors in Indonesia and Thailand. Also, the environmental and production "crash" experienced in Taiwan has led to a general perception that intensive culture cannot be sustained. The sector recently experienced a lack of direction and growth, combined with crowded watersheds, excessive use of water bodies, overuse of groundwater and continued destruction of mangrove. A field survey of prawn growers was conducted in August-October 1992 using a standardized economic questionnaire that included costs, returns and growers' perceptions of constraints. Economic estimates were developed for representative production systems: intensive, semi-intensive, extensive and prawn-milkfish rotation. The incentive to expand the prawn pond area is not strong. Existing intensive facilities can be operated efficiently and profitably, but new intensive operations will most likely need to include water treatment capabilities for water entering and exiting grow-out ponds. Canals, reservoirs or ponds used for water quality improvement may be able to concurrently produce a profitable crop, such as milkfish-prawn rotation. Internal rate of return for semi-intensive ponds using earthen ponds was higher than for other culture systems. If, over time, water quality and conservation constraints are sufficiently addressed, stocking densities might be increased. Research and extension programs targeting equity should focus on integrated systems.

Authors: AL-HARBI A.H.
Published: October 2022

Streptococcus sp. was isolated from dead and moribund hybrid tilapia, (Oreochromis niloticus x 0. aureus) in Saudi Arabia. Hybrid tilapia (0. niloticus x 0. aureus), Taiwanese red tilapia (0. mossambicus x 0. niloticus), Nile tilapia (0. niloticus), blue tilapia (0. aureus) and Mossambique tilapia ( 0. mossambicus) were tested for susceptibility to Streptococcus sp. at concentrations of 104 -108 cells per 0.1 ml. Total mortalities at termination of the experiment were significantly different among the five species with Nile tilapia demonstrating slightly less susceptibility to the pathogen than the other four species. The LD50 of Streptococcus sp. was 2.8 x 105 cells for Mossambique tilapia, 3.5 x 105 cells for red tilapia, 1.8 x 106 cells for hybrid tilapia, 2 x 107 cells for blue tilapia and 9.2 x 107 cells for Nile tilapia. Streptococcus sp. was not isolated from the peritoneal cavity, liver or kidney from any of the five tilapia species that survived challenge (12-d post-infection). Moribund fish of all five species displayed similar clinical symptoms, i.e., erratic swimming, exophthalmia, melanosis (with exception in red tilapia), hemorrhagic areas around the jaws and at the base of the pectoral and dorsal fins, and on the tail, and the presence of ascitic fluid in the abdominal cavity.

Authors: JAYAPRAKAS V. , SAMBHU C.
Published: October 2022

Juveniles of Penaeus indicus were fed a biosynthetic product, L-camitine, at concentrations of 100 ppm (Tl), 250 ppm (T2), 500 ppm (T3), 750 ppm (T4) and 1,000 ppm (TS) in a fish meal-based supplementary feed having 40% protein. A diet without L-camitine supplement served as control (TO). The growth study was conducted for 120 d in nylon hapas, arranged in a brackishwater pond. AH diets with L-camitine produced significantly higher growth than the control (P<O.Ol). The diet containing 500 ppm camitine promoted maximum growth (14.82 ± 2.86 g) compared with the control (9.07 ± I.67 g). Feed conversion efficiency, assimilation efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were high in carnitine-fed prawns; optimum values were recorded for the 500 ppm treatment. Digestive enzyme (amylase, protease and lipase) activities were high in the mid-gut of prawns fed carnitine diets. RNNDNA ratios in the muscle and hepatopancreas of prawns under carnitine treatments were higher than the control. Total dry matter and protein contents of the body increased in prawns fed L-camitine. Lipid content decreased in all carnitine-fed groups with maximum value in the control (2.69%), indicating enhanced lipid catabolism, thereby sparing energy and protein for growth and anabolic processes.
Effects of Incubation and Spawning Water Temperature, and Salinity on Egg Development of the Orange-Spotted Grouper (Epinephelus coioides, Serranidae)
Authors: KAWAHARA S.
Published: October 2022

Responses of orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) eggs to various incubation water temperatures and salinities were measured in terms of incubation period and hatchability. Eggs spawned naturally by the grouper in captivity were used for this study. Time from spawning to hatching was inversely related to incubation temperature. Time to hatching was 32.4, 24.0, 19.5, 16.5 and 15.8 h at 23, 26, 29, 32 and 35°C, respectively. Egg development at each incubation temperature proceeded at a uniform rate. The lower limiting incubation temperature for 50% viable hatching of the fertilized eggs spawned at 23-27°C was estimated at 22.l-23.2°C. The upper range was estimated to be 30.1- 31.00C. No eggs hatched at the incubation temperature of 20°C, and the few eggs hatched at 34°C resulted in 100% abnormal larvae. The viable hatching rate was high in incubation salinities of 17-47 ppt No egg hatched at 0 ppt salinity. The rate of abnormal larvae was high in 7 and 57 ppt incubation salinity. Differ­ences in hatching time at incubation salinities of 17-47 ppt were insignificant.

Authors: RASEM B.M.
Published: October 2022

Successful natural spawning of the camouflage grouper Epinephelus polyphekadion (Bleeker) in captivity, during a 1992-95 culture period, under hypersaline water conditions and environment (salinity 43%o and temperature 29-30°C) of the Red Sea coast in the Middle East is described for the first time. Until the 1994 culture period, the fish spawned naturally once or twice a year during May or June. Continuous natural spawning of the grouper during the 1995 culture period was observed only after incorporation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the broodstock diet. Each spawning occurred immediately after the new moon phase, exhibiting a typical lunar rhythm. Egg diameter varied from 710.0±27.8 µm to 788.0±22.4 µm. There was a linear relation between egg size and egg hatching rate. The increase in hatching rate relevant to egg size was statistically significant (P<0.01). Compared to previous spawning records, the fertilization and hatching rates increased significantly (P<0.05) from the 1992 to the 1995 spawning period. Egg fertilization rate was 90-100% with a mean of 96.5±3.38%. Egg hatching rate was 70-95% with a mean of 83.14±10.12%. Mean egg fertilization as well as the hatching rates observed during this investigation were higher than in previous records obtained during natural spawnings of other grouper species. Egg development lasted for 19 h. Newly hatched larvae were 1.713+0. l 19 mm in total length carrying a large yolk sac of 766 µm.

Authors: KIBRIA G.
Published: October 2022

The native silver perch Bidyanus bidyanus has good potential as an aquaculture species in Australia. Juveniles of this species (1.14-2.13 g) were reared in glass aquaria at room temperatures (!8-20°CJ with aeration. Fish were kept individually in separate aquaria for the study of growth and solid waste production. In the first experiment, three commercial diets referred to as diet I, diet 2 and diet 3 were offered to fish for four weeks in order to study the gain in weight and food conversion ratio. The gain in weight decreased in the order of fish fed diet 2 > diet I > diet 3 (P>0.05). In the second experiment, diets 2 and I were fed to fish for four weeks in order to study the relationship between growth of fish and production of solid wastes (suspended and dissolved) in the culture system. Diet 2 resulted in slightly better gain in weight (P>0.05) and less solids production in comparison to diet I.
Traditional Practices for Resource Sharing in an Artisanal Fishery of a Sri Lankan Estuary
Authors: AMARASINGHE U.S.
Published: October 2022

In the Negombo estuary or Sri Lanka, there is an artisanal fishery for penaeid shrimp lo­cally known as stake-seine fishery. Stake-seine nets, which can be fixed in specific sites close to the sea mouth, are used for catching shrimp that migrate from the estuary to the sea. According to regulations imposed by the fishing communities, use-rights in the fishery are granted to de­scendants of certain fishing families in four villages. Among the stake-seine fishers who are or­ganized into four rural societies, an effective mechanism has been evolved for resource sharing in the fishery over a period or several hundred years. For equity sharing or the resource, differ­ent fishing dates are assigned to the four rural societies, and fishing sites are allocated to indi­vidual fishers in each society using a lottery system. Sustenance of this traditional practice is due to the fact that the returns from the fishery are significant. Community-based management strategies for the fisheries in developing countries can therefore be defined by adopting relevant mechanisms found in these types of artisanal fisheries.
