Ticks of the genus Hyalomma are important vectors of pathogens of a number of infectious diseases in southwestern Kazakhstan. In natural foci of the southern part of Kazakhstan circulate pathogens of such infections as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, tularemia, fever of the Syrdarya Valley, bovine teileriosis, etc., an important role in the transfer of which is played by H. asiaticum. Annual surveys conducted from March to November in Kyzylorda region in 2012-2023 were carried out. Livestock and wild small mammals were examined for the presence of ticks. It was revealed that this species has a wide distribution and inhabits everywhere in the desert zone. The main feeders of the adult ticks are camels, cattle, sheep, goats and horses. Preimaginal phases were found in rodent burrows, on the great and midday gerbil, on yellow and small gophers, hare-tolai. The study investigated the seasonal dynamics of adult tick populations It was noted that activization of adult ticks of the species and attacks on livestock is observed already in March with the maximum peak of abundance in April-May, then sharply decreases, but continues until November. The main morphological and ecological features that differentiate H. asiaticum from other species of the genus Hyalomma are described.

Authors: Sabariego Uceda Fran
Published: January 2025

El objeto de investigación de este artículo se centra en la visibilización de la identidad transfeminista andaluza y en las huidas/retornos del pueblo andaluz. Sitúo el objeto de estudio en un ámbito de la producción de conocimiento y la construcción de subjetividad, que se encuentra atravesada por cuestiones políticas y que surge desde una experiencia autetnográfica, en la que mi origen de clase obrera, andaluza y travesti, vertebra el corpus de la propia investigación. La primera parte se dedica a analizar un estudio de caso, la historia (eclipsada) de una mujer andaluza y artista, Manuela Uceda Guirao --mi madre-- a partir de una perspectiva autoetnográfica mediante su voz e imágenes de archivo familiar. En la segunda indago en las migraciones que padece la identidad transfeminista del pueblo andaluz a través de un imaginario post-travesti.
El tañer de las campanas señaló el momento justo: buscar lo pueblo entre lo urbano y lo rural.
Authors: Salcedo Mónica
Published: January 2025

Algo tan sencillo como el sonido de unas campanas en la lejanía tiene la fuerza de llegar a emociones profundas relacionadas con nuestra identidad relacional y necesidades antropológicas tales como la seguridad ante un mundo amenazante. El actual fenómeno de recuperación de folclores e identidades locales en la música popular española evidencia cómo ciertos imaginarios están cargados no sólo de una trayectoria iconográfica y simbólica, sino también de afectos y anhelos que son individuales, pero también compartidos. A través del diálogo entre distintas canciones y su representación audiovisual podremos rastrear esos ecos de otros tiempos, ritmos y relaciones que, en última instancia, revelan un malestar con los modos de vida contemporáneos.
La Carvento y la reinvención del folclore andaluz desde el drag y el andalucismo cultural.
Authors: Cortázar Meléndez Rosa
Published: January 2025

Este artículo aborda las prácticas performativas drag contemporáneas que reinterpretan y subvierten el imaginario del folclore andaluz, centrándose en la producción de Carlos Carvento. A través de entrevistas y la combinación de estudios antropológivos y culturales, se explora de manera fragmentaria cómo las drags desafían normas culturales y de género y cómo han evolucionado sus expresiones artísticas en Andalucía, dando forma a un folclore queer. Este fenómeno se desarrolla en el contexto de emergencia de una tercera ola andalucista y del andalucismo cultural, corrientes político-art´ísticas que buscan revalorizar símbolos identitarios y expresiones culturales andaluzas, rompiendo con sus usos comerciales o reaccionarios y contemporizándolos. Así, el estudio contribuye a la comprensión de un cambio  transformador en la región, revelando la capacidad reivindicativa de resistencia cultural de estas acciones, que rescatan tradiciones y narrativas ocultas de los marginados, como las de las travestis folclóricas invisibilizadas.

Authors: Gopan Adwaith , BJ Binu K.
Published: January 2025

Hypertension is a major contributor to disability and mortality in India. The aim of this study was to examine the factors associated with activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) disabilities among patients with hypertension in India using secondary data from the longitudinal aging study in India (LASI) wave-1, encompassing a sample of 4,618 respondents. The disablement process model was adopted to categorize the variables into risk, intra-individual, and extra-individual factors. A zero-inflated negative binomial model was employed to identify factors associated with the absence of disabilities and those contributing to their progression. The results indicate that the risk and intra-individual factors had a larger variance in explaining disabilities than the extra-individual factor. Variables such as age, sex, depressive symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, and physical activity were significantly associated with ADL and IADL disabilities. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions addressing modifiable risk factors, promoting physical activity, managing depressive symptoms, and enhancing social support to reduce the disability burden in this population and improve the quality of life of hypertensive patients in India.

System of comprehensive evaluation of academic staff activity
Authors: Dudarev Igor , Purtov Volodymyr
Published: January 2025

Universities evaluate the activities of academic staff annually to encourage excellence in performance and to develop training programmes to enhance their professional skills. The evaluation of academic staff activities is mainly based on the results of their scientific work, but it is important to take into account other areas of their responsibilities. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to develop a system for the comprehensive evaluation of academic staff, which would consider the outcomes of their pedagogical, methodological, scientific, and organisational work. The method employed involved the analysis of university regulatory documents that define academic staff evaluation systems. Graphs were utilised to model the structure of the relationships between the criteria of the proposed evaluation system. The evaluation system determines the indices of academic staff work efficiency both for individual types of activities an comprehensively. According to the system, the outcomes of all academics are compared with the best results achieved in the current year at the university or national level. The calculations of the comprehensive index of activity efficiency for each academic enable the formation of university, faculty, and departmental rankings of academic staff, as well as the categorisation of performance levels based on the proposed scale. It was recommended that the evaluation results be presented in academic portfolios on the university website to ensure transparency. This approach also enables stakeholders to track changes in academics’ effectiveness over time. The evaluation system will enhance personnel management in universities, thereby contributing to the achievement of strategic goals for institutional development. The proposed academic staff evaluation system can be implemented at both the university and national levels. Its implementation will further foster a competitive environment among academics at the national, university, faculty, and departmental levels

STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF VARIATION OF PHASE COMPOSITION OF COMPOSITE CERAMICS ON RESISTANCE TO RADIATION DAMAGE
Authors: Kozlovskiy A. L. , Azambayev S. B. , Abshukirova A. M.
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the results of investigation of the influence of the variation of the phase composition of composite (1−x)Si3N4 – xAl2O3 ceramics on the stability of strength properties in the case of irradiation with heavy ions Xe23+ (230 MeV) at fluences1011–1014 ions/cm2 . The variation of the component concentration was chosen taking into account the possibility of obtaining composite ceramics with different phase ratio: Si3N4, Al2O3, as well as Al2(SiO4)O and SiO2, the formation of which in the composition of ceramics is associated with the processes of thermal decomposition of Si3N4 during high-temperature annealing in an oxygen-containing atmosphere and phase transformations by the type of solid solution formation. The choice of the type of ions for irradiation is conditioned by the possibilities of simulation of structural damage processes leading to unstrengthening of the damaged layer, comparable to the impact of nuclear fuel fission fragments in ceramics – materials of inert matrices of dispersed nuclear fuel. In the course of the conducted studies, it was established that at irradiation fluences of 1011–1012 ion/cm2 structural changes associated with the formation of single isolated structurally deformed inclusions do not lead to significant changes in the strength characteristics of ceramics, while small changes observed are associated with deformation distortions, the accumulation of which leads to destabilization of the damaged layer. In the case of higher irradiation fluences (above1012 ions/cm2 ), which are characterized by the formation of the effects of overlapping defect regions in the damaged layer, the ceramics of 0,4 Si3N4 – 0,6 Al2O3, in which, according to X-ray phase analysis data, the dominant phase is Al2(SiO4)O, the presence of which causes a large number of grain boundaries, which in turn leads to dislocation hardening and restraint of the disordering processes associated with deformation distortions of the damaged layer.

In the context of increasing industrial pollution and insufficient efficiency of traditional wastewater treatment methods, the issue of finding environmentally friendly and effective sorbents is particularly acute. Industrial dyes entering reservoirs change their color, are toxic and can pose a serious threat to human health and the ecosystem. The main difficulty lies in the fact that many dyes are resistant to biodegradation, which complicates their removal by standard cleaning methods. One of the promising materials that can solve this problem is nanocellulose, which has unique properties: high specific surface area, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Obtained from renewable sources, nanocellulose can become the basis for environmentally friendly water treatment systems. This study is aimed at studying the adsorption characteristics of nanocellulose synthesized from microcrystalline cellulose in relation to two stable water – soluble dyes – methylene blue and bengal rose. The results showed that nanocellulose effectively adsorbs methylene blue, reaching a sorption capacity of 35.87 mg/g, whereas for Bengal rose the adsorption capacity was 26.11 mg/g, which is explained by the difference in the types of interactions: chemical and physical adsorption. The methods of IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry confirmed the structural changes that occurred during the synthesis of nanocellulose, which had a positive effect on its sorption characteristics. Morphological studies using optical and scanning electron microscopes have also demonstrated a high degree of dispersion and a developed porous structure of nanocellulose, which is important for improving its adsorption properties.
ASSESSMENT OF RARE EARTH METALS POLLUTION IN THE SNOW COVER-SOIL COVERVEGETATION SYSTEM IN THE TERRITORY OF THE CITY OF PAVLODAR AND ITS SUBURBS
Authors: Faurat A. A. , Azhayev G. S.
Published: January 2025

The article studies the level of rare earth metal pollution in urban and suburban garden plots of the city of Pavlodar. The main attention is paid to lanthanide pollution in the system “precipitation (snow) – soil – vegetables”: accumulation of metals in snow, their migration to soil and accumulation in plants. Pavlodar, as an industrially developed city, is exposed to emissions from industrial enterprises, transport and stove heating, which makes it vulnerable to rare earth metal pollution. The results show that the concentrations of the investigated elements in the solid phase of snow decrease in the following order (mg/kg) Ce (54.1) > La (27.9) > Nd (26.9) > Gd (5.8) > Dy (5) > Eu (1.4) > Ho (0.8) > Lu (0.3). In soils, metal concentrations decreased in the following order (mg/kg) Ce (33.28) > La (15.41) > Nd (14.72) > Gd (3.74) > Lu (1.3) > Ho (1.01) > Eu (0.82) > Dy (0.39). It was found that the content of metals in snow significantly exceeds their concentrations in soil, except for holmium and lutetium, whose concentrations are higher in soil. Background concentrations in the snow cover are on average 1.3 times lower than urban concentrations. The metals La and Ce have very low accumulation values for both potato and tomato, although there is a slight excess of the bioaccumulation factor for potato. These data are important for the development of measures to reduce pollution and protect public health.

В статье отражены результаты исследования пористого кремния, в качестве мембраны для топливных элементов, где сам пористый кремний является матрицей, а гелевый протонпроводящий электролит является наполнителем. Проведены работы по химическому вытравливанию пор на исходных пластинах кремния. Сформированные структуры демонстрируют относительно равномерное распределение пор со смесью больших и малых пустот. Проведены исследования пористого Si методом адсорбционной порометрией. Общий объем пор и распределение по размерам определяли методом Барретта-Джойнера-Халенды (BJH) по кривые изотермы десорбции. Анализ распределения пор по объему показал, что данные сегментируются на микропоры (0,35–2 нм), мезопоры (2– 10 нм) и большие поры (10–50 нм, 50–200 нм). Рентгенофазовый анализ показал, что существует значительная разница в межплоскостных расстояниях линий дифрактограммы. Также приведена зависимость протонной проводимости от образца пористого кремния от влагопоглощения.

Research of prototype fuel elements and fuel assemblies in in-pile tests are an integral part in substantiating the safety and operability of installations being designed, and are also necessary for validating the calculation codes. Despite the long service life and a large number of studies conducted in the IGR reactor, the capabilities of this reactor under conditions of implementing long-term experiments at minimum power are still not fully clear. This paper presents a substantiation of the possibility of implementing an experiment with power reactor fuel during the implementation of the long-term operation mode of the IGR reactor. Neutronic and thermal-hydraulic calculations were performed to determine the energy release in the fuel and structural materials of the experimental device, the time to achieve steady-state heat exchange between the fuel element and the cooling gas at a steady-state fuel element power level, and the temperature distribution in the test section at specified energy parameters.

Published: January 2025

The primary source for production in straw cereals (wheat, triticale and barley) is the accumulation of carbohydrates in the photosynthetic organs, mainly in the leaves. From this point of view, the flag leaf plays a vital role in the development of the grain and therefore it must benefit from protection throughout the growing season. Keeping the flag leaf green is a trait that allows cereals to maintain their photosynthetic capacity for a longer period of time after anthesis, especially under drought and heat stress conditions.This study presents some partial experimental results from the SCDA Caracal (Dolj County, Romania) regarding the influence of the flag leaf on the potential production of straw cereals (wheat, triticale and barley). Thus, the potential production was greatly influenced by the area of the flag leaf and the ear, both the half-cut flag leaf, the fully cut flag leaf and the ½ cut ear resulted in very significant production reductions. Much more significant was the influence of precocity, regardless of the species and the surface of the flag leaf and ear. Medium early and late cultivars showed very significant increases in potential production compared to early cultivars.

Published: January 2025

The current climatic changes require the farmers to optimize nitrogen fertilization according to the specific growing conditions of their crops. Choosing the right fertilizer product, rate, time and method of application are essential decisions for farmers. In this context, the aim of this paper is to present the obtained results regarding the maize grain yields at different application method of the nitrogen fraction applied in the vegetation period of the maize plants and at different nitrogen rate split variants under the specific growing conditions of South Romania. The research was carried out in field experiments located in South Romania (44o22’ N latitude and 26o89’ E longitude), under rainfed conditions in the years 2022 and 2023. The experimental factors were the following: Factor A – application method of the nitrogen fraction applied in the vegetation period of the maize plants (incorporated with the mechanical weeding and surface broadcast); Factor B – nitrogen rate split in two applications with 6 ratios. The obtained results brought attention to the positive effects of the nitrogen rate split between the crop establishment and vegetation period of the maize plants compared to the application of the entire rate at the crop establishment, the split ratio being according to the year climatic conditions.

Background. Otitis media is a prevalent paediatric condition. While complications are infrequent, intracranial complications, such as lateral or transverse sinus thrombosis (LST), can be serious. LST, which is often challenging to diagnose, remains a subject of debate regarding optimal management. Case Report. The paper reports the case of a 6-year-old boy presenting with headache, intermittent esotropia and right-sided hemiparesis. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral blurred optic disc margins. Following a recent course of antibiotics for bilateral otitis media, imaging studies confirmed bilateral transverse-sigmoid sinus thrombosis. The patient received triple antibiotic therapy and anticoagulants; surgical intervention included bilateral mastoidectomy with trans tympanic drainage tube placement. Discussion. The diagnosis and management of this rare condition in paediatric age remain complex. While MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis, the optimal therapeutic approach is debated. Antibiotic therapy is universally accepted, but the role of anticoagulants is controversial. Recent guidelines support the use of heparin for at least two months, with direct oral anticoagulants as an alternative. Surgical intervention, such as mastoidectomy, may be considered in specific cases.
