The proliferating public interest in conservation can be explored by monitoring what people say and what people do on social media platforms. YouTube is one of the resources for digital conservation studies as the users are allowed to archive and share content. Meanwhile, networks visualization provided by computer software is powerful to preserve vernacular languages since text(s) tagging is one of the main processes in gaining data. The present study aims to answer research questions using a transdisciplinary approach to sociology, ethnobotany, and communication science. Thus, this research enquires; (a) how might conservation of Toraja rice landraces be practiced continuously? (b) what are the current forms of conservation that are developed and accepted as Toraja socio-cultural activities? (c) how do social media platforms, YouTube, for instance, contribute to the conservation efforts in rice landraces? (d) what are the social implications of conservation education through social media? In order to answer the above questions, six different research methods, namely, observations, in-depth interview, mapping distribution of rice landrace varieties in six fields of studies, calculating Index of Cultural Significance on rice accessions for practicing conservation rice landrace. Digital conservation and conservation culturomics were also measured using NodeXL and API for visualizing the graph of YouTube videos network and calculating the frequency of words occurrence according to search string Toraja rice ritual. The outcome from the study indicates the current forms of conservation by cultivating and consuming rice landrace varieties on everyday life and ritual, as well as preserving rice and agriculture images on wood carving motifs, folk song, and folk dance. The digital conservation efforts are demonstrated by archiving and broadcasting rice rituals on YouTube videos. With an increase of frequency on word occurrences by Toraja language on hashtags on YouTube videos, the users were contributing to participatory culture for preserving vernacular language and promoting agricultural innovations in digital conservation ecosystems and environmental communication.
Erwachsen werden in pandemischen Zeiten – Herausforderungen an die zeitliche Herstellung und Gestaltung von Übergängen im Lebenslauf
Authors: Stauber Barbara
Published: September 2021

Durch die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie verändert sich für viele das Zeiterleben dramatisch: Zukunft ist aufgeschoben und Gegenwart entweder extrem verdichtet oder prekär geworden. Dies betrifft insbesondere Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, von denen viele immer weniger in der Lage sind, ihre Übergänge in Ausbildung und Arbeit planen zu können; und gleichzeitig sind sie diejenigen, die unter den Einschränkungen des Jugendlebens in der Gegenwart, im Kontext von Peerkulturen, Freundschaften und romantischen Beziehungen, besonders leiden. Der Beitrag nimmt diese Situation zum Anlass, um grundsätzlich über die Dimension der Zeitlichkeit in der Hervorbringung von Übergängen im Lebenslauf nachzudenken. Er erinnert dabei an das temporal entworfene Agency-Konzept von Mustafa Emirbayer und Ann Mische (1998), das hierfür grundsätzlich anschlussfähig ist. Gerade mit Blick auf den starken normativen Erwartungsdruck, dem die Übergangsgestaltung Jugendlicher und junger Erwachsener unterliegt, ist dieses Konzept um eine kritische Perspektive auf (Chrono-)Normativitäten zu erweitern. Denn letztere werden derzeit extrem herausgefordert – mit offenem Ende.

Published: September 2021

Background: Objectively measuring auditory functions has been proposed as an avenue in differentiating normal age-related cognitive dysfunction from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its prodromal states. Previous research has suggested auditory event-related potentials (AERPs) to be non-invasive, cost-effective, and efficient biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD. Objective: The objective of this paper is to review the published literature on AERPs measures in older adults diagnosed with AD and those at higher risk of developing AD, i.e., mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and subjective cognitive decline. Methods: The search was performed on six major electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, OVID EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL Plus). Articles identified prior to 7 May 2019 were considered for this review. A random effects meta-analysis and analysis of between study heterogeneity was conducted using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: The search identified 1,076 articles; 74 articles met the full inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review, and 47 articles were included into the analyses. Pooled analysis suggests that AD participants can be differentiated from controls due to significant delays in ABR, N100, P200, N200, and P300 latencies. P300 amplitude was significantly smaller in AD participants compared to controls. P300 latencies differed significantly between MCI participants and controls based on the pooled analysis. Conclusion: The findings of this review indicate that some AERPs may be valuable biomarkers of AD. In conjunction with currently available clinical and neuropsychological assessments, AERPs can aid in screening and diagnosis of prodromal AD.

Published: September 2021

Background: The coexistence of magnetite within protein aggregates in the brain is a typical pathologic feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and the formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques induces critical impairment of cognitive function. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of proton stimulation (PS) targeting plaque magnetite in the transgenic AD mouse brain. Methods: A proton transmission beam was applied to the whole mouse brain at a single entrance dose of 2 or 4 Gy to test the effect of disruption of magnetite-containing Aβ plaques by electron emission from magnetite. The reduction in Aβ plaque burden and the cognitive function of the PS-treated mouse group were assayed by histochemical analysis and memory tests, respectively. Aβ-magnetite and Aβ fibrils were treated with PS to investigate the breakdown of the amyloid protein matrix. Results: Single PS induced a 48–87%reduction in both the amyloid plaque burden and ferrous-containing magnetite level in the early-onset AD mouse brain while saving normal tissue. The overall Aβ plaque burden (68–82%) and (94–97%) hippocampal magnetite levels were reduced in late onset AD mice that showed improvements in cognitive function after PS compared with untreated AD mice (p < 0.001). Analysis of amyloid fibrils after exposure to a single 2 or 4 Gy proton transmission beam demonstrated that the protein matrix was broken down only in magnetite-associated Aβ fibrils. Conclusion: Single PS targeting plaque magnetite effectively decreases the amyloid plaque burden and the ferrous-containing magnetite level, and this effect is useful for memory recovery.

Authors: Mackay Christopher P. , Brauer Sandra G. , Kuys Suzanne S. , Schaumberg Mia A. , Leow Li-Ann
Published: September 2021

Background:

Sensorimotor adaptation, or the capacity to adapt movement to changes in the moving body or environment, is a form of motor learning that is important for functional independence (e.g., regaining stability after slips or trips). Aerobic exercise can acutely improve many forms of motor learning in healthy adults. It is not known, however, whether acute aerobic exercise has similar positive effects on sensorimotor adaptation in stroke survivors as it does in healthy individuals.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to determine whether acute aerobic exercise promotes sensorimotor adaptation in people post stroke.

Methods:

A single-blinded crossover study. Participants attended two separate sessions, completing an aerobic exercise intervention in one session and a resting control condition in the other session. Sensorimotor adaptation was assessed before and after each session, as was brain derived neurotrophic factor. Twenty participants with chronic stroke completed treadmill exercise at moderate to high intensity for 30 minutes.

Results:

Acute aerobic exercise in chronic stroke survivors significantly increased sensorimotor adaptation from pre to post treadmill intervention. The 30-minute treadmill intervention resulted in an averaged 2.99 ng/ml increase in BDNF levels (BDNF pre-treadmill = 22.31 + /–2.85 ng/ml, post-treadmill was = 25.31 + /–2.46 pg/ml; t(16) = 2.146, p = 0.048, cohen’s d = 0.521, moderate effect size).

Conclusions:

These results indicate a potential role for aerobic exercise to promote the recovery of sensorimotor function in chronic stroke survivors.
Towards Interpretable Machine Learning in EEG Analysis
Authors: Mortaga Maged , Brenner Alexander , Kutafina Ekaterina
Published: September 2021

In this paper a machine learning model for automatic detection of abnormalities in electroencephalography (EEG) is dissected into parts, so that the influence of each part on the classification accuracy score can be examined. The most successful setup of several shallow artificial neural networks aggregated via voting results in accuracy of 81%. Stepwise simplification of the model shows the expected decrease in accuracy, but a naive model with thresholding of a single extracted feature (relative wavelet energy) is still able to achieve 75%, which remains strongly above the random guess baseline of 54%. These results suggest the feasibility of building a simple classification model ensuring accuracy scores close to the state-of-the-art research but remaining fully interpretable.
Reaction Time-Based Cognitive Assessments in Virtual Reality – A Feasibility Study with an Age Diverse Sample
Authors: Vahle Nils M. , Unger Sebastian , Tomasik Martin J.
Published: September 2021

Introduction: While virtual reality (VR) is an emerging paradigm in a variety of research contexts, VR-based embodiment effects on behavior and performance still lack in sufficient evidence regarding to bias in cognitive performance assessment. Methods: In this methodological observational study, we compare the VR measurement of cognitive performance with a conventional computer-based testing approach in real life (RL) in younger and older adults. The differences between VR and RL scenarios are investigated using the background of two theoretical models from cognitive psychology. Furthermore, data assessment reliability and validity are analyzed, concerning the feasibility of technological and ergonomic aspects. Results: A within-group comparison showed no change in information processing speed in either one of the two age groups, i.e., both groups perform equally well in RL and in a VR testing environment. Conclusion: The use of lifelike VR environments for cognitive performance tests seems not to lead to any performance changes compared to RL computer-based assessments, making VR suitable for similar applications. On technical concerns, we recommend the careful use of reaction time paradigms regarding to input hardware and stimuli presentation.
Comparison of Instruments for Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life and Their Applicability to Ehealth Applications
Authors: Schmidt Marlene , Staemmler Martin
Published: September 2021

Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessment has proven as a good means for assessing treatment options or impact of applications supporting the patient in adherence, monitoring and better understanding of health issues. While most of the HRQoL instruments were designed several years ago, their capability to assess the impact of ehealth application is in question. The objective of this paper is to assess HRQoL instruments including a focus on the ehealth domain. Methods: Generic and specific instruments are selected based on their widespread use. Published criteria for assessing HRQoL instruments are used for a baseline, which are amended by criteria covering both the ehealth domain and the conditions of use of instruments and structured in groups. Results: Seven instruments have been selected and assessed using the established criteria. The instruments scored differently regarding the ehealth domain, however overall rather low. Applying weighting per group allows highlighting specific aspects. Based on the assessment, further research should consider the development of a ehealth domain module as part of the specific instruments.
Stationary auditory white noise improves postural control in healthy adults: A novel study on head-shaking
Authors: Mohammadi Midya , Enayati Zakaria , Shaabani Moslem , Vahedi Mohsen
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Auditory cues might play a role in postural control. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between white noise and head-shake (HS) related changes in postural sway. METHODS: Fifty healthy adults underwent Synapsys Posturography System (SPS) evaluation. The posturography (PG) evaluation consisted of two protocols: sensory organization test (SOT) and SOT with head-shake (HS) (HS-SOT). The standard SOT protocol of SPS involves a battery of six postural conditions. In the current study, participants underwent only four SOT conditions. The participants were asked to stand barefoot on the SPS platform (static platform and foam). The SOT standing conditions were as follow: (1) firm surface (force platform only) with eyes open (SOT1); (2) firm surface with eyes closed (SOT2); (3) foam surface (which was positioned on the force platform) with eyes open (SOT4); and (4) foam surface with eyes closed (SOT5). For the HS-SOT protocol, we asked the participants to move their heads left and right (i.e., yaw head rotation) in the mentioned SOT conditions. Each postural condition was 10 seconds long. Both SOT and HS-SOT postural conditions were conducted across the two hearing modes of silence and noise. To achieve our aims, comparison of sway parameters between SOT and HS-SOT, and between hearing modes were considered. RESULTS: White noise was associated with a reduction in postural sway. The reduction observed in sway area, sway amplitude, and sway frequency. Moreover, HS significantly increased postural sway in all HS-SOT conditions compared to their SOT equivalents (i.e., HS-SOT1 compared to SOT1, etc.). The presence of white noise was associated with a decrease in the HS-related increase in postural sway. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the results, this study adds to the body of literature suggesting that white noise contributes to postural control, and the implications of this for rehabilitation need to be further investigated.

Published: September 2021

OBJECTIVE:

To assess clinical application of applying deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm to contrast-enhanced portal venous phase liver computed tomography (CT) for improving image quality and lesions detection rate compared with using adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR-V) algorithm under routine dose.

METHODS:

The raw data from 42 consecutive patients who underwent contrast-enhanced portal venous phase liver CT were reconstructed using three strength levels of DLIRs (low [DL-L]; medium [DL-M]; high [DL-H]) and two levels of ASIR-V (30%[AV-30]; 70%[AV-70]). Objective image parameters, including noise, signal-to-noise (SNR), and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) relative to muscle, as well as subjective parameters, including noise, artifact, hepatic vein-clarity, index lesion-clarity, and overall scores were compared pairwise. For the lesions detection rate, the five reconstructions in patients who underwent subsequent contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations were compared.

RESULTS:

For objective parameters, DL-H exhibited superior image quality of lower noise and higher SNR than AV-30 and AV-70 (all P < 0.05). CNR was not statistically different between AV-70, DL-M, and DL-H (all P > 0.05). In both objective and subjective parameters, only image noise was statistically reduced as the strength of DLIR increased compared with ASIR-V (all P < 0.05). Regarding the lesions detection rate, a total of 45 lesions were detected by MRI examination and all five reconstructions exhibited similar lesion-detection rate (25/45, 55.6%).

CONCLUSION:

Compared with AV-30 and AV 70, DLIR leads to better image quality with equal lesion detection rate for liver CT imaging under routine dose.

Published: September 2021

Metal processing in ladle by calcium-containing cored wires is one of the most spread methods of ladle treatment and modifying. Results of analysis of efficiency induces of existing cored wires application depending on their diameter, wall thickness and filling coefficient presented. It was shown that the basic efficiency index of a cored wire application – recovery coefficient – depending on wire quality (homogeneity of filling by calcium along the wire length), wire grade, conditions of its injection into liquid steel and other parameters can vary within a range from 50 to 95%. Reasons of unsatisfactory calcium recovery at usage of calcium-containing wires of 14–15 mm diameter with steel shell 0.4 mm thick and filling of mechanical mixture of steel shots and metallic calcium in various proportions was considered. Advantages of the modern calcium-containing cored wire with thicker wall were highlighted, including their higher wire rigidity and stability of its supply by a wire feeder into liquid steel. It was established that calcium content in a cored wire at the level of 100 g/m was the most effective composition. It was noted that increase of speed of cored wire feeding into steel will result in an increase of calcium recovery and in a decrease of probability of metal splashing out the steel ladle.

Published: September 2021

The incipient low-carbon transformation of the world economy requires elaboration of market mechanisms, based on determination and comparison of carbon intensity of products (benchmarking), separate facilities, enterprises, countries, regions and the world as a whole. Description of foreign benchmarking systems for specific energy consumption and specific greenhouse gases (GHG) in steel industry given. Results of benchmarking of energy efficiency of steel production in the countries of G20 presented, which was accomplished by International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2021. Russian experience of selective benchmarking by ecological parameters (in information and technical reference books on best available technologies) considered as well as experience of Russian metallurgical companies on evaluation specific emissions of GHG. Comparison of IEA data and those of Russian companies showed that result of benchmarking substantially depends on chosen calculation system and reliability of the initial information, as well as highlighted necessity of harmonization of benchmarking systems and provision of possibility to obtain results in various benchmarking systems based on the same initial information. Actuality and necessity substantiated to create a Russian benchmarking system for specific emissions of GHG first of all to keep ability of exporting Russian products of steel industry into EC, where from 2023 a system of boundary carbon control will come into force, as well as to keep and expand market niches at other markets, including the internal Russian one. The list of products of steel industry and limits of technological processes of their production in the Russian benchmarking system being created, must provide a possibility of comparison with foreign systems and comparison with benchmarking for products which can be covered by CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) system. Basic items of CBAM concept being discussed by European parliament presented. It was noted that in view of plans to introduce CBAM, the provision of correspondence of Russian system to the system of trade by EC quotas or to other scheme, due to which the CBAM mechanism will be launched becomes a matter of particular actuality. The list of products of steel industry, covered by benchmarking within European system of trade by quotas for GHG emissions, limits of a product production system and significance of benchmarkers presented. It was noted that for Russian exporters of steel industry products, the benchmarking for specific GHG emissions should become a routine procedure. It was proposed to elaborate a calculator “Benchmarking of carbon intensity of products of steel industry of Russia”, which could provide comparison of the results obtained with benchmarkers of other international systems.

Authors:   Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs, Denysov Serhiy , Tymchuk Oleksiy ,   Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University
Published: September 2021

The article analyzes the methodological aspects of the use of synergetics in criminology. The essence of the synergetic paradigm in natural and social sciences is characterized, the main approaches of scientists regarding the prospects and directions of application of synergetic ideas and concepts for solving key problems of criminology are given. Predominantly synergetics is considered as the science of self-organization and self-organizing systems, the theory of evolution of open-type systems with nonlinear feedbacks. The focus of synergetics is on the processes of selforganization in complex systems. From the use of synergetics in the social sciences (including criminology), its proponents expect significant positive effects in the form of new scientific theories. Over the past 20 years, synergetic ideas have gained significant popularity in Ukrainian criminology, however, until now, it is mainly about posing the problem in general terms, stating the importance / timeliness / prospects of using synergetics to solve traditional criminological issues, for example, the determination of crime, the mechanism of criminal behavior, study of organized crime, crime prevention. In some cases, criminological concepts and problems are artificially “adjusted” to synergistic categories. The views of some scientists on synergetics as the only or universal method, the application of which will allow to solve all traditional criminological issues in a new way, are critically assessed. It is emphasized that there are few concrete examples of the actual application of synergetics in criminological research, allowing us to see its real advantages over other “traditional” methods. At the same time, synergetics has prospects, since over time, as other social sciences (primarily sociology) develop, provided that synergetic ideas are effectively used in them, this method will be able to find its application in the field of criminology.

Published: September 2021

Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is one the most widespread drugs in the world. It is used for secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with cardiovascular disease. Accordingly, the problem of the effectiveness of aspirin treatment is among the crucial issues of cardiology. The issue of personalization of antiplatelet therapy remains relevant, since there is no convincing evidence in favor of using aspirin for primary prevention in the general population. In this review, recent data on aspirin resistance are considered. Potential mechanisms of non-responsiveness to aspirin, the role of genetic factors, standardization of tests and diagnostic criteria for aspirin resistance, and the treatment options are discussed. The data on the clinical and prognostic value of 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 as a promising marker of thromboxane-dependent platelet activation are analyzed.

Published: September 2021

The live BCG vaccine, causing a complex response of both innate and cellular as well as humoral adaptive immunity, is a biological adjuvant. It serves as a trigger for a "trained" immune system response, characterized by the activation of monocytes, macrophages, natural killer cells, and lymphoid elements of inborn populations, all contribute to the early activation of non-antigen-specific protective programmes of the body fight against a number of viral, fungal, protozoan infections and neoplastic clones. One of the infections, altered by BCG vaccination, may be COVID-19. The pathogenesis of the development of acute interstitial pneumonia/respiratory distress syndrome caused by COVID-19 is characterized by the triggering of excessive systemic action of inflammatory mediators, in particular, cytokines, due to violation of the focal inflammatory barriers. Gamma-interferon, produced by lymphocytes after BCG vaccination, modulates the activity of a number of interleukins, which in turn may attenuate course of COVID-19 by reducing the activity of IL-12 and IL-18 -dependent reactions. There is an antigenic cross-reaction between the peptides from causative agents of mycobacterioses and SARS-CoV2 because of their proteins' homology. Unlike many adjuvants, BCG decreases the incidence of lymphoid malignancies and its effect on various autoimmunopathies is different, not necessarily harmful. The peculiar character of BCG vaccination effect may be related to its very early impact on immature immune system and symbiotic character of host-BCG interactions. Geo-epidemiological data on the relationship between the historical practice of using BCG vaccination in different countries and the current incidence of new coronavirus infection and mortality from it are presented. Historically, the medical and social reasons for the different national policies of health authorities regarding the use of the BCG vaccine are considered.

Abstract. The purpose of the work is to study the influence of the growth regulator “Regoplant” and microfertilizer “Ultramag Kombi” on the photosynthetic productivity of the potatoes of the Barna variety based on the results of field experiments in the forest-steppe zone Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. Methods. Studies on the tasks were carried out in 2018–2020. at the experimental site of the NCRIMFA branch of the VSC of RAS in the conditions of the forest-steppe zone Republic of North Ossetia-Alania according to generally accepted methods. The soil of the experimental plot is medium-power heavy loamy leached chernozem, lined with pebbles. Results. It is established, that biological products under identical soil and weather conditions assisted different progress of plants and approach of phases of vegetation. For all variants of the experiment, the number of stems increased by 0,3–0,7 pcs., the height of the stems of potato plants – by 3,8–4,9 cm in comparison with the control. An intense increase in the mass of tops occurred when using a tank mixture (growth regulator “Regoplant” (25 ml/ha) + microfertilizer “Ultramag Combi” (0,75 l/ha)) – by 74 g/bush, or 15.5 % compared with the control variant. During the growing season, the sum of the photosynthetic potential (FP) was 1,070 thousand m2 •days/ha in the control, and on average 1198–1406 thousand m2•days/ha in the experimental variants. The greatest accumulation of dry matter was noted when using a tank mixture – 917 g/m2. The maximum pure photosynthetic productivity was observed in experimental variant IV – 6,52 g/m2•day compared to the control option. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the forest-steppe zone Republic of North Ossetia-Alania the effect of the growth regulator “Regoplant” and microfertilizer “Ultramag Kombi” on photosynthetic activity of potatoes was studied. Practical significance. The studies carried out make it possible to recommend in potato production the use of a tank mixture of an effective growth regulator “Regoplant” at a dose of 25 ml/ha and microfertilizer “Ultramag Combi” at a dose of 0,75 l/ha, as an ecologically safe and low-cost agricultural method when processing vegetative plants, providing an increase in yield and quality of tubers.

Published: September 2021

It is known that the Turkic peoples have been engaged in horse breeding since ancient times. A huge layer of horse-breeding lexemes was passed down from generation to generation, from people to people, and preserved in the language and dialects of the Turkic peoples. This article examines phonetic variation horse tokens, considers the semantic features and transformation of equestrian dialects, reveals the integration of horse-breeding vocabulary in the culture of the turkic peoples. Despite the study of the comparative historical vocabulary of the turkic languages, the research of their dialectological connections, the development of passive and active dialectological dictionaries in the historical and etymological aspect has not yet been sufficiently studied. In the context of the above, the article reveals horse-breeding lexemes in the dialects of the oghuz and kipchak languages as the basic basis for the development of dialectological dictionaries of the oghuz and kipchak languages

The tamga signs and titles engraved on coins represent symbols of ruling dynasties and the states they had founded and were associated both with the territory where they ruled, as well as with their origin (ethnicity). In this regard of particular interest are Old Turkic tamgas and titles (“Qaghan”, “Yabghu” (?), “Tegin”, “Tarkhan”) available on the pre-Islamic Turkic coins of Tokharistan region (South-ern Uzbekistan – Southern Tadjikistan – Northern Afghanistan) with Sogdian scripts. On the early medie-val coins of Chach related to the Western Turkic Qaghanate (568-740), there are four types of tamgas – a lyre-shaped one with its varieties, a tamga in the form of two crossed swords, an anchor-form tamga and the diamond-form one, and the fact comes under notice that similar tamgas were engraved on the coins of the Northern Tokharistan of the epoch. Appearance of these tamgas and titles in the territory of Chach and Tokharistan in the Early Middle Ages is directly related to political activities of the Western Turkic Qaghanate and ethno-cultural processes which were taking place in Central Asia.

С Булатом Ешмухамбетовичем Кумековым я лично знаком давно, еще со времен уче-бы в аспирантуре при Ленинградском отделении института востоковедения АН СССР (ЛО ИВ АН) и по совместной затем работе в Институте истории, археологии и этнографии АН КазССР в Алма-Ате, и в течение всех этих лет имею приятную возможность близко знако-миться с его работами в области средневековой истории Центральной Евразии. Сразу же хочу отметить, что его вклад в историографию народов, которые ныне населяют центр Ев-разии, и прежде всего казахского народа, столь заметен, что он заслужил среди сообщества востоковедов общее признание. Но начну сначала.Начало пути в науке доктора исторических наук, академика Б.Е. Кумекова самым тесным образом связано с начальным периодом становления в Казахстане востоковедной науки. В 50-60-х годах прошлого столетия в системе Академии наук КазССР работали не-сколько востоковедов разных специальностей, оказавшиеся в Алма- Ате по случаю. Ими были В.П. Юдин, Н.Н. Мингулов, К.А. Пищулина. В середине 60-х в эту группу влились китаисты Ю.А. Зуев, В.С. Кузнецов и арабист Б.Е. Кумеков. Однако в организационной структуре Института истории КазССР отсутствовало востоковедное звено, объединявшее востоковедов. К концу 60-х годов руководством института – директором А.Н. Нусупбеко-вым, зам. директором – Г.Ф. Дахшлейгером – это упущение было осознано и признано. И в самом начале 70-х годов в Институте истории был официально учрежден Отдел древней и средневековой истории Казахстана (в сущности, отдел востоковедения, где успешно рабо-тали арабисты, иранисты, тюркологи и китаисты).
