Title: Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions (KAP) on Point of Sale (PoS) Advertising and Promotion of Tobacco Bans Among Parents A Cross-Sectional Study in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan
Authors: Nurmasheva, Arailym
Abstract: In Kazakhstan in 2004, the percent out of all deaths that were due to smoking was
24%, twice the worldwide percent (12.0%) and about 50% higher than the
percentages in the Russian Federation and Eurasia as a whole (both 16%). Based on
the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) among those who visited a point of sale
(where products are purchased) in the past 30 days, overall 13.6% (14.3%=boys,
13.0%=girls) noticed tobacco advertisements or promotions. Studies have shown
that exposure to Point of Sale (PoS) advertising and promotion of tobacco products
is associated with increased youth smoking initiation. Nonetheless, to the best of our
knowledge, there are no studies that examine the perceptions and attitudes of the
parents of these youth towards PoS Tobacco Advertising Promotion and Sponsorship
(TAPS) ban. The study objectives include: (1) determining parents’ perceptions of
PoS advertising and promotion of tobacco bans; (2) assessing parents’ and experts’
knowledge on PoS TAPS ban definitions and regulations.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZDiurnal Temperature-Related Dynamics of Glutathione Reductase Activity in Wheat Genotypes Under Drought

Title: Diurnal Temperature-Related Dynamics of Glutathione Reductase Activity in Wheat Genotypes Under Drought
Authors: Aydinli, Lale; Aliyeva, Durna
Abstract: The strategically important wheat plant is the most cultivated of cereals. Drought is
one of the main factors adversely affecting its productivity and quality of grain.
Components of the ascorbate-glutathione cycle play an important role in the
antioxidant defence system. The diurnal dynamics of temperature-related
glutathione reductase activity (GR), one of the main components of the antioxidant
defence system, were studied in durum (Barakatli 95, Garagylchyg 2) and bread
(Gobustan, Tale 38) wheat genotypes of contrasting tolerance, when exposed to
sustained soil drought. Glutathione reductase is highly sensitive to glutathione. Leaf
samples were taken at the end of the wax ripening phase at three-hourly intervals
(800, 1100, 1400, 1700), frozen in liquid N2, and kept at -800C. The experiments
indicated that GR activity increased in stressed, tolerant, (Barakatli 95, Gobustan)
and decreased in stressed sensitive varieties (Garagylchyg 2, Tale 38) compared with
watered variants. In the samples taken at 1100, enzyme activity increased in all the
genotypes, compared with the control. However, in the Gobustan genotype the
activity of the enzyme remained almost constant. At the highest temperatures (1400)
GR activity decreased by almost 50% both in durum and bread wheat varieties
compared with the control. At 1700 GR activity increased in durum wheat genotypes
and remained at a low level in bread wheat genotypes. Thus, durum wheat genotypes
have a stronger defence system against unfavourable environmental conditions
compared with bread wheat genotypes.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZSensitivity of Primary Tripsinized Cell Systems EYQ and FEC to the Fowl Pox Virus

Title: Sensitivity of Primary Tripsinized Cell Systems EYQ and FEC to the Fowl Pox Virus
Authors: Yusifova, Kubra
Abstract: Viral diseases like fowl pox create serious problems for industrial poultry. Fowl pox
is a disease found in poultry worldwide and is caused by viruses of the family
Poxviridae and the genus Avipoxvirus. The viruses causing fowl pox are distinct
from each other but are antigenically similar. Possible hosts include chickens,
turkeys, quail, canaries, pigeons and many other species of birds. It is known that the
cultivation of a fowl pox virus in chicken embryo cell cultures is common practice
for vaccine production. Many scientists use different local strains of fowl pox virus
in attempts to improve the cultural vaccine against chicken fowl pox. The work
described below demonstrates the possibility of cultivating and grouting a "Baku"
strain of fowl pox virus in a primary cell culture of Japanese quail embryos.
It was discovered that the "Baku" bird strain of fowl pox virus has adapted to both
cell systems. An increase in the titer of fowl pox virus was observed in both Japanese
quail embryo cell culture and in that of chicken fibroblast embryos. It was found that
the culture of Japanese quail embryo cells is a more effective tissue culture for
vaccine production than chicken embryo cell culture because of its simplicity,
economy, absence of extraneous contaminants and its stable biological properties. It
was established that a cell culture of Japanese quail embryos is a promising basis for
the creation of highly immunogenic specific prophylaxis against avian fowl pox.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Dynamics of Some Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism Enzymes in Daytime in Various Wheat Genotypes during Drought

Title: The Dynamics of Some Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism Enzymes in Daytime in Various Wheat Genotypes during Drought
Authors: Gurbanova, Ulduza; Bayramov, Shahniyar; Huseynova, Irada
Abstract: PEPC plays a pivotal role in various metabolic processes in C3 plants including by
providing intermediates for the Krebs cycle, maintaining intracellular pH and
osmotic pressure, regulating the movement of stomatal guard cells, refixing CO2
formed by respiration, forming a carbon skeleton for lipid synthesis during grain
development and nitrogen assimilation. Aspartate aminotransferase is essential to
primary nitrogen assimilation, the transportation of reducing equivalents and the
exchange of carbon and nitrogen resources among cellular subcompartments. Durum
(Barakatli 95 and Garagylchyg 2) and bread wheat genotypes (Gobustan and Tale
38) cultivated in the experimental field of the Research Institute of Crop Husbandry
were used as study materials. The high level of activity of PEPC and NAD-MDH
during morning hours and a positive correlation between them in daytime suggest
that, functioning mutually, these enzymes participate in the biosynthesis of malic
acid.2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
