Яровая мягкая пшеница одна из основных культур зерносеющих регионов Казахстана. Меняющиеся погодные условия заставляют обращать внимание не только на продуктивные и качественные свойства, но и на адаптивные способности сорта или линии. На данный момент разработаны различные методы оценки экологической стабильности и пластичности. Целью данного исследования является сравнение показателей пластичности и стабильности рассчитанных с помощью существующих методик. Определение экологической стабильности проводили в соответствии с формулами: ИС - индекса стабильности и индекса НОМ - гомеостатичности (по В.В. Хангильдину), ПУСС – показатель уровня стабильности сорта ( по Э.Д. Неттевичу), а так же коэффициент дисперсии (по S. A. Eberhart, W. A. Russell). Так для определения экологической пластичности вычислялись : устойчивость к стрессу и компенсаторная способность (по A.A. Rossielle, J. Hemblin), коэффициент вариации (по Б.А. Доспехову), коэффициент линейной регрессии урожайности сортов ( по S. A. Eberhart, W. A. Russell). В результате исследований доказано что один и тот же критерий рассчитанный по различным методикам может быть оценен по разному. Пока нет единого алгоритма расчета с доказанной достоверностью и информативностью возможно использовать ранжирование образцов по показателю и суммирование рангов для совокупной и всесторонней оценки признака.

In crop production, the usage of various microelements for seed treatment is of great importance, which have a stimulating effect on the growth and development of plants. This article presents the results of the effect of presowing treatment of soybean seeds with agrominerals based on tagan bentonite and fungicidal biostimulants. The agrominerals consist of complexes of succinic acid and ethylenediamine succinic acid with silver or copper ions in combination with a film-forming substance, as a starch, to increase economically useful qualities of the crop. Various effects of agrominerals were revealed, on the growing season of soybean, such as development, yield, weight of 1000 seeds, quantity of beans on plants, protein and fat content in seeds. It has been established that pre-sowing treatment with separate complexes ofSA-Сu, SA-Ag, and Starch-SA-Cu leads to a reduction in the vegetation period by 5-8 days. However, agromineral based onTgn-EDSA-Ag-Starch and Tgn-EDSA-Cu- Starchon the contrary, increases the duration of the vegetation period by 4-7 days. The yield increases of (Nur+) 3.1-3.5 centner/hectar (cwt/ha) and (Progress) 3.0-4.1 cwt/ha in comparison with the control.Also, the influence of agrominerals on the weight of 1000 seeds, the number of beans on plants, the content of protein and fat in seeds were noted.

Главной задачей селекционера является создание урожайного сорта, так как именно сорт является основной движущей силой и основным инструментом сельскохозяй-ственного производства. Однако посление годы различные изменения климата заставляют задуматься о необходимости повышения не только потенциала урожайности но и адаптивного потенциала сортов. Для этого необходимо обладать знаниями о стабильност и и пластичности сорта уже сейчас. В этом нелегком вопросе программа сотрудничества в рамках Казахстанско-Сибирской сети по улучшению яровой пшеницы оказалась невероятно ценной так как позволяет оценить потенциал сорта в различных регионах. В данной работе представлены результаты изучения одиннадцати образцов перспективных линий яровой мягкой пшеницы Казахстанско-Сибирского питомника за 2021-2022 гг. в девяти географических точках испытания. Экологическую стабильность и пластичность рассчитывали по методике S.A.Eberhart и W.A.Russel с вычислением коэффициентов дисперсии и линейной регрессии, а так же по методике A.A. Rossielle и J. Hemblin, где на основании данных о средней урожайности вычислялись компенсаторная способность сорта и его устойчивость к стрессу. В ходе изучения выделены линии с высоким уровнем стабильности и пластичности, образец с высокими показателями адаптивности и компенсаторной способности, а так же сделаны выводы об эффективности применяемых методик.

Оңтүстік-шығысындағы Қазақстанның тәлімі аумақтарындағы аудандардың ауыл шаруашылық дақылдарын өндірудегі мүмкіндіктері айтарлықтай жоғары. Яғни, өсіру агротехникасының жеткіліксіз зерттелуінен аймақта жекелеген ауылшаруашылық дақылдарынан жоғары өнім алуға толыққанды мүмкін болмай отыр. Яғни дақылдардың аудандастырылған сорттарының өнімділігіне және оның жекелеген көрсеткіштеріне кешенді әсер ететін қор үнемдейтін агротехникалық әдістердің жиынтық әсері туралы ғылыми жұмыстардың қажеттілігі туындап отыр. Сондықтан аймақтың топырақ-климаттық жағдайларына байланысты тәлімі жағдайда дәнді дақылдарды өсірудің агротехникасын жақсартатын (қор үнемдеуші технология) зерттеу жұмыстары жүргізілді, бұл осы еңбектің мазмұнын сипаттайтын негізгі аспект болып табылады. Оңтүстік-шығыс Қазақстанның тәлімі жерлерін игеруді ұтымды пайдалану үшін жаздық бидай мен жаздық арпаны өсірудің екі тәсілі зерттелді: топырақты 20-22 см тереңдікте жырту және нөлдік өңдеу технологиясы. Зерттеу нәтижесінде жаздық арпасының «Сымбат» сортының және жаздық бидайдың перспективті номерлерінің жоғары өнімділігі 20-22 см-де жыртқан нұсқада гектарына 38,9 және 36,2 центнер, ал нөлдік өңдеу нұсқасында сәйкесінше гектарына 36,4 және 34,7 центнер өнімділік алынды. Дән өнімділігінің қалыптасуы зерттелетін дақылдар мен сорттарға көбірек тәуелді болды, ал тәуелділік жылдар өткен сайын тек өсті, бұл зерттелетін дақылдардың маусым кезеңіндегі ауа райы жағдайларына байланысты болды.

В статье представлены результаты фитосанитарного мониторинга яблоневых садов юга и юго-востока Казахстана. В садовых агроценозах юга и юго-востока Казахстана выявлены доминирующие виды вредителей яблони. Установлено, что доминирующими видами вредителей в садовых агроценозах являются яблонная плодожорка (Cydia pomonella), клещи разных видов (Acarina), зеленая яблонная тля (Dysaphis aucupariae) и калифорнийская щитовка (Diaspidiotus perniciosus). Отмечено, что теплая и малоснежная зима предыдущего года, связанная с глобальным потеплением климата, способствовала выживанию большей части зимующего запаса вредителей, благодаря чему многие из них получили преимущество и дали вспышку численности. Для изучения видового состава и вредоносности основных вредителей яблоневых садов обследовано 25 хозяйств на юге и юго-востока Казахстана. А также в статье приведены данные поврежденности яблони вредителями в садах Алматинской, Жетысуской, Жамбылской и Туркестанской областей. Анализ собранного материала по вредителям показал, что в агроценозах яблоневых садов, где проводились исследования, в массе распространены общеизвестные фитофаги, которые ежегодно наносят вред. Установление видовой принадлежности вредителей и их вредоносности проведены по общепринятым энтомологическим методам.

Fixation is crucial for preserving tissue integrity during processing, and the most commonly used cross-linking fixative in immunohistochemistry is neutral buffered formalin, which requires antigen retrieval as a crucial step. The successful use of newer coagulant fixatives like methacarn and EMA to preserve isotopes and eliminate the need for antigen retrieval has been reported recently, but their role in decalcified osteochondral unit samples remains unknown. Limited information on the use of coagulant fixatives as formalin substitutes makes it important to comparatively evaluate their effects on osteochondral samples and the impact of antigen retrieval on different days. Osteochondral units from a patient with osteoarthritis who underwent total knee-replacement surgery were fixed with three studied fixatives (Formalin, Methacarn, EMA) and divided into four portions, for different time periods (Day 1, 3, 7, 10). Sections were decalcified, stained with Safranin O, Alcian Blue, Toluidine Blue, PicroSirius Red, Hematoxylin and Eosin, and immunohistochemical analysis of Collagen type II and type X with and without antigen retrieval was conducted. Formalin showed better hematoxylin uptake than coagulant-based fixatives, while all fixatives preserved tissue morphology without necrosis or cellular degeneration with comparable staining quality. Methacarn and EMA-fixed tissues showed higher uptake of collagen type II compared to formalin-fixed tissues, with collagen type II uptake occurring only in the cartilage region and collagen type X uptake occurring only in the bone region. The study highlights the effectiveness of methacarn and EMA as efficient alternatives to formalin, preserving tissue morphology and antigen specificity.

Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is caused due to impingement of soft tissues between the ischium and the lesser trochanter of the femur, resulting in pain and discomfort. IFI can be caused due to anatomical abnormality, previous trauma and surgery. The quadratus femoris muscle is usually affected in these cases, which can become oedematous and show fatty atrophy. Management of IFI include analgesics, physiotherapy, image-guided intervention and surgery. This study aims to provide an overview of IFI, evaluate the ischiofemoral space in a cohort of ten patients, and suggest the safest position for image-guided interventions in patients with IFI. The ischiofemoral space and distance between the sciatic nerve and the medial part of the femoral neck were measured in supine and lateral positions on 10 consecutive patients by two fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists on Computed Tomography (CT) axial sequence. There were 10 patients in the study (3 female and 7 males), with an average age of 29 years (11-70 years). A statistically significant increase in the ischiofemoral space and the distance between the sciatic nerve and the medial part of the femoral neck was found in the lateral position compared to the supine position. There was good intra- and inter-observer reliability, with a kappa value of 0.8. The increase in the ischiofemoral interval in the lateral position suggests that it is relatively safer to perform image-guided interventions and injections in the ischiofemoral interval in the lateral position with a potential reduction in the risk of incidental sciatic nerve injury.

Parahiatal hernias are rare. They are difficult to diagnose preoperatively, as the clinical symptoms may be similar to hiatal and paraoesophageal hernias. Here, we report two cases of parahiatal hernia that were preoperatively diagnosed and successfully repaired laparoscopically; using the particular anatomic characteristics of this hernia, we also review the controversial oesophageal hiatal anatomy, as the surgical community often refers to the left bundle of the right crus as the left crus. There is no consensus on the indication or surgical technique to repair them. The first case is a 59-year-old woman with non-specific abdominal symptoms, in whom the preoperative gastroscopy and computed tomography (CT) raised the suspicion for parahiatal hernia. The second case is a 68-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with abdominal distention and nausea, but no vomiting. Preoperative CT raised the suspicion of an incarcerated parahiatal hernia. Both patients underwent laparoscopic repair of the parahiatal hernia and a Toupet fundoplication. They had an uneventful postoperative course. After more than 4 years of follow-up, they are both asymptomatic. Parahiatal hernias are a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia that occur through a diaphragmatic defect lateral to an anatomically normal oesophageal hiatus, with herniation of contents between the left portion of the right crus and the left crus. Up to five different anatomical variations have been described. The knowledge of these anatomical variations has an impact on the type of surgical repair that will need to be performed if a parahiatal hernia is found.

Morton’s toe results in an uneven distribution of pressure across the feet. Awareness about Morton’s toe and its associated risk factors is clinically important. Although studies have reported the prevalence of Morton’s toe, not many studies appear in literature discussing its impact on the associated risk factors such as hammertoe, bunion deformity, overpronation and plantar fasciitis, respectively. Hence, we have undertaken this study to analyze the prevalence of Morton’s toe in the Gulf region to assess its impact on the foot. A cross-sectional descriptive epidemiological study was carried out between November 2021 and December 2022 on the feet of 100 individuals (male=50; female=50) with ages ranging from 17 to 75 years. The study included the Bahraini & non-Bahraini residents. Individuals with severe foot injuries and deformities resulting from surgery were excluded. A total of 56 Morton’s toe cases (male=18; female=38) were noted in the study sample. The overall prevalence of Morton’s toe was 28% and majority of the participants with Morton’s toe were females (67.9%). Of 56 Morton’s toe cases, the majority were seen in the age group from 30 to 40 years, particularly in females. Our findings clearly showed a significant association between Morton’s toe and hammertoe (p=0.044), bunion and usage of high heels (p<0.001), respectively. However, the association between Morton’s toe and other risk factors such as plantar fasciitis and overpronation of the foot were found to be statistically nonsignificant (p>0.05). Our study provides baseline data for the first time on the prevalence of Morton’s toe and associated risk factors.

Authors: AlShibli Aaisha S. , AlSariri Arwa K.
Published: October 2023

In this research paper, we applied experiments using virtual reality technology to teach young students with the participation of their teachers and parents. This technology was applied to second-grade students, approximately 39 male and female students, and they were distributed into groups containing a certain number of students studying one common topic among them, using virtual reality glasses to watch a video explaining the required topic. All selected topics were mathematics only to achieve satisfactory results. After that, the teacher distributed activities to the students without any prior explanation of what was seen, and the parents also discussed with the students to determine the amount of comprehension and understanding of what was accomplished using this technology. The results showed correct and rapid responses for most students, up to 89.74%, compared to 10.25% of the students who did not complete their performance. We hope to apply some of the modern technologies to teach students and provide them with the desired experiences for the future of the country.

Ethnic Representation in Malaysian Year Five English Language Textbooks from 1968- 2016: from Erasure, to Proliferation, towards a “Malaysian” Narrative?
Authors:   Methodist College Kuala Lumpur, Tan Claire , Tiong Ngee Derk ,   Sunway University
Published: October 2023

The question of ethnic representation has been a topic of concern for analysts and users of Malaysian textbooks. In this paper, we present a study analysing Malaysian Year Five English language textbooks published from 1968 to 2016, focussing specifically on ethnic representation and its changes over time in these texts. We conducted content analyses of the seven national textbooks published over the period, revealing mixed messages in ethnic representation: although on the surface there were celebrations of diverse ethnic and religious practices, these coexisted with problematic erasures and marginalisations of various groups. The problematic MCI (Malay, Chinese, Indian) formulation was favoured despite mapping poorly onto East Malaysia and rendering non-MCI groups invisible. Portrayals of Malays were particularly dominant, in some editions the only ethnic group with role model characters in the text. Chronologically, we identify three distinct phases that project different models of ethnic representation: ethnic erasure (1968, 1973, 1979), a proliferation of ethnic-ness (1997, 1999, 2012), and finally the apparent beginnings of a “Malaysian” narrative (2016), marking a shift towards greater inclusion despite the residue of the problematic patterns from earlier phases. The study offers an empirical contribution to debates on ethnic representation in Malaysian education, as encoded in locally-produced English-language textbooks. It also highlights that alongside the instrumental purpose of second/foreign language instruction, textbooks also project ideologies and narratives of nationhood.
