Note on Transliteration and Translation Note on Transliteration and Translation In transliterating foreign words, I use the standard Library of Congress system for Rus sian and the modified one (lacking diacritics) for Hebrew. The YIVO transliteration system is employed for Yiddish. Proper names of people and of places introduce some additional challenges. I have en- deavored to transliterate people’s names according to the language in which they wrote. Thus, the biblical name Rachel might appear as Rokhl in a Yid- dish document, Rahel in Hebrew, and Rachela in Polish. With people who published in more than one language, I have chosen the language they were most associated with or the most common spelling of their name. When appropriate, I have relied upon the YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Eu rope for the proper spelling of the names of prominent East Euo r pean Jews. However, at times a less consistent form of the name has been employed b ecause it is more widely known: thus, Peretz Markish in- stead of Perets Markish. In an attempt to avoid both politics and anachronism, I spell place names according to their chronological appearance in the narrative. Thus, if someone was born in a Polish city before the war, it will be spelled as it was then (Kowel, Białystok). However, if someone e lse traveled through that same city while it was u nder Soviet rule, a transliteration of the Rus sian name will be used (Kovel, Bialystok). Parenthetical notations list previous and current names in alphabetical order. The Yiddish alternative is offered only when it differs significantly from the others. The only exceptions are names given in direct quotations or when dealing with cities with an ac- cepted En glish form (Warsaw, Kiev). ix x • NOTE on TRANSLITERATION and TRANSLATION Although t hese same standards apply to cities and regions within the old borders of the USSR, I have often followed the lead of the Polish Jewish refugees in referring to Central Asian areas. The Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was not an in de pen dent country at the time of study. Yet, t hose who passed through there invariably describe having lived in Uzbekistan. For clarity, I will use the standard name of Soviet regions rather than the Rus sian adjectival forms (i.e., Altai and not Altaiskaia). Translations are my own, except when cited from English- language or translated sources.

Firstly, this is due to the fact that modern society is concerned about the health state and its improvement, and secondly, there is a worsening of the population health state, an increase in the incidence rate, the spread of socially dangerous and chronic diseases, which lead to the widespread use of resort therapy and the health tourism development. Many works of modern scientists, such as B.I. Aksentiychuk, M.M. Baranovsky, H.A. Barkova, V.M. Boholyubova, V.O. Jaman, S.I. Nikitenko, K.A. Nemets, L.M. Nemets, S.V. Leonov, O.O. Lyubitseva, M.P. Malska, N.P. Melnyk, O.Ya. Romaniv, M.Yu. Rutynsky, N.V. Chernenko, L.T. Shevchuk and others, are devoted to the problems of health tourism organization. Health tourism is a travel to the resort areas for the purpose of treatment. Health tourism is divided into therapeutic, which aims at its own treatment, therapy, rehabilitation after illness, and preventive (wellness tourism), focused on maintaining the body in a healthy state and keeping the balance between human physical and psychological health [4]. Currently, traditional health resorts are no longer a place of treatment and recreation for older people, and they become a multifunctional wellness center for a wider range of consumers. The choice is made between resorts that specialize in the treatment of a particular disease and resorts of mixed type, which generally promote health and contribute to recovery and stress relief [2].

  • Water Conflict and Cooperation in Central Asia
    Human Development Report 2006 Human Development Report Office OCCASIONAL PAPER Water Conflict and Cooperation in Central Asia Erika Weinthal 2006/32 2 Water Conflict and Cooperation in Central Asia Prepared as Background Paper for the UN Human Development Report 2006 By Erika Weinthal Associate Professor of Environmental Policy Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, Duke University ([email protected]) The numerous rivers that meander through Central Asia’s rugged terrain of mountains, steppe and desert have for centuries shaped its socio-political and economic landscape. As different rulers have sought to demarcate political borders and establish varied systems of governance, water continues to link the diverse populations that now inhabit the newly independent Central Asian states of the former Soviet Union -- Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.1 Water also physically connects the Soviet successor states with their neighbors to the South, East and North. The Amu Darya or what once was referred to as the Oxus provides a vivid illustration. After originating in the mountains of northern Afghanistan and Tajikistan, the Amu Darya traverses the territory of Tajikistan before flowing downstream through Khorazm province in Uzbekistan and Dashhowuz province in Turkmenistan on its long journey toward the autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan before ultimately emptying into the Aral Sea. Historically, the intersection of rivers in Central Asia, such as the point where the Surkhan Darya
