  • Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences
    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Population Studies of Hedysarum theinum Krasnob. At the Ivanovsky Mountain Range of The Kazakh Altai Mountains. Alevtina Nikolaevna Danilova*, Yuri Andreevich Kotukhov, Olga Alexandrovna Anufrieva, and Serik Argynbekovich Kubentayev. Republican state enterprise "Altai Botanical Garden" of the Committee of Science, Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan 071300, Republic of Kazakhstan, East Kazakhstan Region, Ridder, Ermakova str., 1 ABSTRACT The current paper represents ecological, biological, and resource studies of Hedysarum theinum Krasnob. at the Ivanovsky Mountain Range of the Kazakh Altai Mountains. We have provided a phytocoenotic description of the species’ habitat, and determined the ontogenesis, age composition of the coenopopulations, numbers, presence of pests and pathogenic organisms, as well as the seasonal rhythm of development of sweetvetch. We have found that Hedysarum theinum inhabits large territories of the Ivanovsky Mountain Range and undergoes excessive anthropogenic impact. The species does not form industrial reserves and may serve as a source of raw materials for the local pharmacy chain. Within the coenopopulations, the species acts as dominant or subdominant. The sweetvetch coenopopulations from different sites of the Ivanovsky Mountain Range have similar age composition with uniform age spectra: in all cases the absolute maxima account for mature reproductive individuals. The populations of this species have normal age distributions lacking certain stages, they are dominated by mature generative plants, the numbers of juvenile and premature individuals are low, whereas senile plants are completely absent. Seed productivity undergoes substantial fluctuations over the years, also depending on the altitude of the species’ habitat and climatic conditions during the vegetative period, while almost all altitudinal belts are marked by relatively high seed productivity.

  • Изменение Размеров И Состояния Ледников Казахстана За 60 Лет (1955–2015 Гг.) © 2018 Г
    Лёд и Снег · 2018 · Т. 58 · № 2 Ушёл из жизни Евгений Николаевич Вилесов – один из старейших гляциологов Республики Казахстан, активный член Гляциологической ассоциации. В последние годы он преподавал в Казахском Национальном университете им. аль-Фараби (Алматы), но продолжал гляциологические исследования и опубликовал несколько монографий о ледниках Казахстана. Совсем недавно Евгений Николаевич прислал для публикации нашего журнала свою статью, которая оказалась последней в его творчестве. Мы публикуем эту статью, доработанную Г.А. Носенко. УДК 551.324 (035.3) doi: 10.15356/2076-6734-2018-2-159-170 Изменение размеров и состояния ледников Казахстана за 60 лет (1955–2015 гг.) © 2018 г. Е.Н. Вилесов Казахский национальный университет им . альФараби, Алматы, Республика Казахстан Changes in the size and condition of the glaciers in Kazakhstan for the last 60 years (1955–2015) Е.N. Vilesov AlFarabi Kazakh National University, Almaty, Republic of Kazakhstan Received August 15, 2017 Accepted December 20, 2017 Keywords: ablation, accumulation, glacial runoff, glacier dynamics, inventory of glaciers, Kazakhstan, mass balance. Summary In 1960–70s, a complete Inventory of the Kazakhstan glaciers had been prepared in the framework of the All‑Union Glacier Inventory Program. All the morphometric parameters of the glaciers together with area and linear dimensions of them, and the absolute heights of characteristic points were determined from the 1:100 000 scale topographic maps and aerial photography of 1955–1956. In the late 1970‑s and in 1990, new inventories of glaciers of the Zailiysky and Dzungarian Alatau were prepared by the same procedure from the 1:25 000 scale topographic maps and aerial photography. Since the beginning of the 20th century, satel‑ lite images and GIS technologies were used for this purpose.

    6. Current Status of the Environment 6.1. Natural Environment 6.1.1. Desertification Kazakhstan has more deserts within its territory than any other Central Asian country, and approximately 66% of the national land is vulnerable to desertification in various degrees. Desertification is expanding under the influence of natural and artificial factors, and some people, called “environmental refugees,” are obliged to leave their settlements due to worsened living environments. In addition, the Government of RK (Republic of Kazakhstan) issued an alarm in the “Environmental Security Concept of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2004-2015” that the crisis of desertification is not only confined to Kazakhstan but could raise problems such as border-crossing emigration caused by the rise of sandstorms as well as the transfer of pollutants to distant locations driven by large air masses. (1) Major factors for desertification Desertification is taking place due to the artificial factors listed below as well as climate, topographic and other natural factors. • Accumulated industrial wastes after extraction of mineral resources and construction of roads, pipelines and other structures • Intensive grazing of livestock (overgrazing) • Lack of farming technology • Regulated runoff to rivers • Destruction of forests 1) Extraction of mineral resources Wastes accumulated after extraction of mineral resources have serious effects on the land. Exploration for oil and natural gas requires vast areas of land reaching as much as 17 million hectares for construction of transportation systems, approximately 10 million hectares of which is reportedly suffering ecosystem degradation. 2) Overgrazing Overgrazing is the abuse of pastures by increasing numbers of livestock. In the grazing lands in mountainous areas for example, the area allocated to each sheep for grazing is 0.5 hectares, compared to the typical grazing space of 2 to 4 hectares per sheep.

  • Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age
    Open Archaeology 2021; 7: 3–36 Review Stanislav Grigoriev* Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0123 received June 8, 2020; accepted November 28, 2020. Abstract: Andronovo culture is the largest Eurasian formation in the Bronze Age, and it had a significant impact on neighboring regions. It is the important culture for understanding many historical processes, in particular, the origins and migration of Indo-Europeans. However, in most works there is a very simplified understanding of the scientific problems associated with this culture. The history of its study is full of opposing opinions, and all these opinions were based on reliable grounds. For a long time, the existence of the Andronovo problem was caused by the fact that researchers supposed they might explain general processes by local situations. In fact, the term “Andronovo culture” is incorrect. Another term “Andronovo cultural-historical commonality” also has no signs of scientific terminology. Under these terms a large number of cultures are combined, many of which were not related to each other. In the most simplified form, they can be combined into two blocks that existed during the Bronze Age: the steppe (Sintashta, Petrovka, Alakul, Sargari) and the forest-steppe (Fyodorovka, Cherkaskul, Mezhovka). Often these cultures are placed in vertical lines with genetic continuity. However, the problems of their chronology and interaction are very complicated. By Andronovo cultures we may understand only Fyodorovka and Alakul cultures (except for its early stage); however, it is better to avoid the use of this term. Keywords: Andronovo culture, history of study, Eurasia 1 Introduction The Andronovo culture of the Bronze Age is the largest archaeological formation in the world, except for the cultures of the Scytho-Sarmatian world of the Early Iron Age.
