AIM To present results of a rapid assessment of cataract in Turkmenistan. METHODS 6120 eligible people of 50 years and older were selected by systematic random sampling from the whole of Turkmenistan. A total of 6011 people were examined (coverage 98.2%). RESULTS Cataract is the major cause of bilateral blindness (54%), followed by glaucoma (25%). The age and sex adjusted prevalence of bila...

Medicinal plants are a reservoir of biologically active compounds with therapeutic properties that over time have been discovered and used by diverse groups of people for treatment of various ailments. In this regard, Uzbekistan has an excellent historic research base of herbal medicines with about 70% of Uzbek households using medicinal plants to meet their health needs for several centuries. ...

The overall economic performance is summarised in the growth. It occurs when resources are combined technically an effective way. While advanced countries have no reliance on natural resources, they experience steady growth compared to resource-abundant countries. Caspian Sea basin (Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan) Central Asia states (Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekis...

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. Let L(M, τ) be the algebra of all τ -measurable operators affiliated with M. We prove that any Z-linear derivation on L(M, τ) is inner and hence automatically continuous in the measure topology. If the lattice of projections from Z is atomic then any derivation on L(M, τ) is Z-linear. This implies...

The idea of healthcare quality improvement (QI) and disseminating evidence-based practice has been attractive for local health policy makers in Uzbekistan since the early 2000s. One aspect in need of discussion is the degree to which the country's healthcare system is open for the proposed QI activities. Funding of health care resulted in building and equipping rural primary care practices, tra...

After independence in 1991, Uzbekistan became the master of its own way of economic and social development and had the task to construct a democratic state and open civil society, a socially-oriented market economy. All this entailed a radical reform of the education system in Uzbekistan. Education had to be reoriented towards meeting the common national interest and ensuring competitiveness in...

Let M be a type I von Neumann algebra with the center Z, a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. Let L(M, τ) be the algebra of all τ -measurable operators affiliated with M and let S0(M, τ) be the subalgebra in L(M, τ) consisting of all operators x such that given any ε > 0 there is a projection p ∈ P(M) with τ(p) < ∞, xp ∈ M and ‖xp‖ < ε. We prove that any Z-linear derivation of S0(M, τ) is spa...
