Geometric documentation is one of the most important task of the Cultural Heritage (CH) conservation and management policies. 3D documentation, prior to any conservation and restoration works, is considered a basic pre-requisite for preserving, understanding, communicating and valorizing CH sites and objects (London Charter, 2009; Sevilla Principles, 2011). 3D models have become the usual way o...

The paper presents the results of a study of cultural characteristics of the strain A/equine/Otar/764/07 (H3N8) of equine influenza virus isolated from sick horse during the outbreak of equine influenza epizooty in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The studies determined the optimal culture conditions for equine influenza virus strain A/equine/Otar/764/07 (H3N8) in MDCK cell culture. The optimal infe...

Some of the most persistent health disparities in the United States occur between African Americans and European Americans. The causes of those disparities are many and their roots are deep. They are entwined with the history of slavery and discrimination, with rural and inner city neglect, with differential wealth and differential access to health care, with cultural traditions and cultural bi...

We describe the actinomycete strain IMV-70 isolated from the soils of Kazakhstan, which produces potent antibiotics with high levels of antibacterial activity. After the research of its morphological, chemotaxonomic, and cultural characteristics, the strain with potential to be developed further as a novel class of antibiotics with chemotherapeutics potential was identified as Streptomyces sp. ...

BACKGROUND School violence in early adolescence, whose frequency and status have recently changed significantly. OBJECTIVE This study attempts to detect the cyber bullying inclination of youth in early adolescence when aggressiveness reaches its peak, to identify school violence, and to develop a school violence prevention program. Method: This study was a survey research, investigating parti...

It is frequently a difficult task to differentiate Actinomyces bovis from "anaerobic diphtheroids" of questionable pathogenicity. Diphtheroids, isolated from normal and pathological tissues, resemble A. bovis morphologically and in some cultural characteristics. These similarities and lack of suitable criteria for their definitive identification have been responsible for the errors in separatin...

people over the age of 60 years. At present, around 50 million people in the world are living with dementia, and an estimated 30 million older adults are living with depression. They represent two of the world’s biggest health problems and are increasingly a major public health challenge given that the world’s population is ageing. Both disorders are associated with poorer overall health, socia...

BACKGROUND Food insecurity remains highly prevalent in developing countries and over the past two decades it has increasingly been recognized as a serious public health problem, including in Ethiopia. An emerging body of literature links food insecurity to a range of negative health outcomes and causes of a decline in productivity. The objectives of the present study were to determine the level...

Since the isolation of streptothricin by Waksman and Woodruff in 1942 from a strain of Streptomyces lavendulae, numerous reports have appeared concerning the ability of different actinomycetes to produce this antibiotic or closely related compounds. In most of the antibiotic screening programs, streptothricin and streptothricinlike substances are among the first to be commonly encountered as pr...
