The results of the conducted audit revealed that the quality of primary medical services provided to patients with angina pectoris, require serious improvement:

It is necessary to increase the number of applications from the patients with arterial hypertension, that requires better develop calling system for patients, that will ensure their regular visits.

As for the research on cardio protective diet, it is reported to reach 62% among patients, indicating, that the medical personal is not taking sufficient efforts.

It is absolutenely necessary to conduct lectures and educational campains for patients, at medical facilities about modifications of each risk factor causing arterial hypertension, non-dinamic lifestyle, smoking tobacco, excess weight, etc. It is vital to repeate audit in order to confirm effectiveness of the above measures taken.

Effect of herbicides on microbiological properties of soil

2024-10-22T14:06:50+04:00

The influence of herbicides (Basultra, Zenkor, Uragan Forte) on the dynamics of microbiological processes and biological activity of the vineyard soil was studied. It was shown that the use of herbicides changes the composition and ratio of individual groups and species of microorganisms, although it does not significantly affect their total number and does not reduce soil fertility. The investigation of the potential ability of nitrate accumulation did not reveal the inhibitory effect of herbicides on the accumulation of nitrates in vineyard soil. Despite the insignificant inhibitory effect on certain groups of soil microorganisms, the studied herbicides did not have a toxic effect on the microflora of the vineyard as a whole.

Bioecology of some introduced woody plants in Kakheti region

2024-10-22T14:35:00+04:00

The lives of the plants are very changeable and happening in the impermanent dynamical environment. The regular and sudden change makes the ecological bases to definite the organization of time and space of the life of plants. In order to study the bioecological features of some woody plants introduced in the Kakheti region, a study was conducted in 2017-2023 on some introduced woody plants distributed in the territories of Telavi, Tsinandali (Tsinandali Park), Kvareli. The observations revealed that the studied plants almost completely use a vegetative period. In the spring-time they blossom, in the summer they grow, at the same time, the seeds ripen and that comes to an end in autumn-winter. The seed fullness is rarely more than 50%. Weakly bear fruit (once in 2-3 years) Abies alba Mill., Abies balsamea Mill., Pinus sibirica Ledeb. (limited by the alkaline reaction of the soil), Pinus sabiniana Dougl. (due to drying in the phase of premature senescence), Cryptomeria japonica (limited by the alkaline reaction of the soil and due to the abundant content of carbonate salts).Many of them reproduce by self-sowing, which is the main indicator of adaptation to a new environment. e.g. Ginkgo biloba L., Cedrus deodara Loud., Aesculus hippocastanum L., Aesculus carnea Haine, and others. The study revealed that relative humidity, chemistry of the soil and age of species are crucial components for high level seed development of introductory plants. Water shortage is the most limiting factor for their growth and development in Kakheti.

This degree of decay poses a significant threat to public safety. This study is pioneering, as no prior research of this nature has been conducted on eucalyptus trees in Georgia. Recommendations concerning the health status of these eucalyptus trees were submitted to the relevant authorities to prompt the implementation of necessary measures.

Vibrational stress impact on hypothalamus and potential for correcting identified disorders

2024-10-22T15:18:05+04:00

With technological advancement, the impact of numerous environmental factors on the body has become far more aggressive. One of these factors is domestic and industrial vibration, which can sometimes lead to occupational diseases. Vibration, as one of the stress factors, has a general biological effect on the body, causing specific neurohumoral disorders, disruption of trophism, and disruption of the disruption of the metabolism of the body. In these conditions, oxidation-restoring processes in tissues intensify, and the need for oxygen increases. Therefore, we studied the impact of vibrational stress on alterations of the biological amine concertation in the hypothalamus of male rats and the correction of the detected alterations with liquid oxygen. The concentration of the bioamines norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine in the hypothalamus of control and experimental animals from all three groups was measured by the high-pressure chromatography method. The study demonstrated that vibrational stress alters the release of these bioamines, while oxygen correction has a positive impact on their regulation.

Influence of climat change on human health

2024-10-21T17:19:06+04:00

Dental health isn’t sol about brushing and flossing. It’s also influenced by environmental factors that surround us every day. Practicing good oral hygiene, staying hydrated and visiting the dentist regularly can help mitigate the impact of environmental factors on dental health.

Climate Change and Oral Health

2024-10-22T10:37:39+04:00

The effects of climate change on human health, including oral health, are detectable, now making this an acute and present situation. In 2015, global mean surface air temperature (SAT) reached 1°C above pre-industrial levels1 and is predicted to increase rapidly to 1.5°C by about the 2030s and reach 2°C by the 2050s. This rate of global warming and increased global mean SAT are associated with higher risks of adverse health outcomes that are measurable today.

The recent Climate change and Clinical Practice conference aimed to demonstrate clinical implications of climate change on human health, to suggest schemes that boost clinical practice resilience in the face of climate-related events, and to urge engagement of health professionals in the climate crisis discussion. Similarly, oral healthcare providers must strategise for clinical practice resilience and consider clinical manifestations of climate change in their dental patients.

Restoration of Historical objects in Green Construction

2024-10-22T11:21:35+04:00

In the recent period, aggression against green plants in the central areas of cities has become very frequent, as a result of which historical plants are often sacrificed, including old plants, which can have a completely different load in case of reasonable actions. Such an attitude has almost halved the areas of green areas in large cities, which worsens the ecological condition of the environment even more under the conditions of global warming.

The paper discusses the decisions taken regarding the historical objects of green construction, the definition of the historical garden, how the aged plants in it should be protected, including the damaged ones. It lists all the activities that can be carried out on ancient landscape objects, from preservation, conservation, restoration and even reconstruction. It is indicated on the basis of which these works can be carried out and in what sequence.

A Historical Perspective of Global Warming and its Influence on Ecosystems

2024-10-22T11:29:42+04:00

This process is due to the intensive emission of greenhouse gases.

Investigation of atmospheric air pollution of Kutaisi with microaerosols

2024-10-22T11:36:24+04:00

Air pollution of Kutaisi with PM2.5 and PM10 was studied. The data obtained from operational observations and special experimental measurements conducted within the framework of atmospheric air pollution monitoring are used for the research. The maximum, minimum and average area of the annual, monthly and daily changes in the concentration of microaerosols, as well as their spatial distribution in the city and its surrounding area, have been determined. It is determined that the concentration of PM particles during the day is almost always characterized by an increasing trend and reaches its maximum after 20 hours. The study of Kutaisi atmospheric air pollution with PM10 is carried out by the joint integration of the 3D regional model of the evolution of atmospheric processes and the transfer-diffusion equation of impurities. Images of PM10 concentration change over time and spatial distribution were obtained. It is shown that the topography of the city and the surrounding area determines the generation of landward anticyclonic eddies of wind speed. The formed wind speed field contributes to the removal of PM10 from the city, the process of "self-cleaning" of the atmosphere. Calculations show that the process of spreading aerosols takes place in four stages and depends on the intensity of traffic, the location of highways and the terrain of the city. From 4 to 7 a.m. there is a rapid increase in concentration, from 7 to 3 p.m. - a weak decrease or constancy of concentration, in the interval from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. there is an increase in concentration, and from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. - city air self-cleaning. Areas of relatively high pollution are defined.

Impact of Micromycetes Phytotoxicity on the Germination of Economically Important Legumes

2024-10-22T13:05:33+04:00

The investigation of phytotoxic substances produced by micromycetes has become increasingly vital due to their ability to hinder seed germination and reduce the yield of crucial agricultural crops. These secondary metabolites, such as mycotoxins, allergens, and enzymes produced by various micromycetes, not only contribute to plant diseases but also pose significant health risks to humans and animals due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. In developing countries, these phytotoxins cause extensive damage to crops, leading to substantial agricultural losses.

Fungal contamination is typically evaluated by isolating fungi that colonize plants and analyzing their impact on seed quality, germination rates, seedling vigor, and the growth of roots and coleoptiles. This study aimed to assess the phytotoxic activity of toxin-producing fungi, specifically Alternaria and Fusarium, on cereal seeds' germination and early growth.

Bioassay techniques examined the toxicity of fungal cultures from Fusarium and Alternaria, isolated from the roots and seedlings of infected kiwi, raspberry, blueberry, tomato, and potato plants. The study focused on the wheat variety 'Bezostaya 1' and the corn variety 'Ajameti Tetri', which were treated with culture fluids derived from fungal mycelium grown on Chapek's synthetic liquid nutrient medium. The effects of these filtrates on seed germination, seedling growth, and root development in wheat and maize were measured. Additionally, the protective efficacy of the biofungicide 'Fitosporin-M' against fungal and bacterial diseases in plants was evaluated. The study results indicate that Alternaria and Fusarium fungi exhibit significant phytotoxic activity, leading to high levels of contamination in cereal seeds, while "Fitosporin-M" demonstrates strong biofungicidal properties and promotes plant growth effectively.

Ecological and social aspects of sustainable management of mountainous Adjara forest

2024-10-22T13:10:51+04:00

Forests, encompassing 38.5% of Georgia’s territory, represent a significant natural wealth due to their multifunctional and aesthetic values. These ecosystems are vital for producing oxygen, maintaining biomes and ecological balances, preventing soil erosion, regulating water flows, and ensuring the availability of clean drinking water. In Georgia, particularly in the mountainous region of Adjara, the sustainable management of forests presents a critical challenge necessitated by the need to balance ecological integrity with socio-economic demands. This paper explores the ecological and social dimensions of sustainable forest management in Adjara, aiming to identify and assess current forest management practices that integrate biodiversity conservation with the socio-economic needs of local communities. By highlighting the essential role forests play in both ecological balance and human livelihood, the study underscores the imperative for integrated management strategies designed to preserve these natural resources for future generations. The findings of this research are intended to contribute to the development of informed policies and community-driven conservation efforts in Adjara.

Macrophytes of freshwater ponds of the Kolkheti lowland, phytoremediation and prospects for water drainage systems

2024-10-22T13:16:20+04:00

There are many different physico-chemical methods of water purification, however, phytoremediation is one of the most effective means, which Georgia has abundant resources for. Phytoremediation, i.e. water purification with algae, is about 10 times cheaper and more effective method compared to other physico-chemical technologies. A living organism absorbs, collects, and removes pollutants from water. Phytoremediation is a technique used in the environmental restoration process where macrophytes can absorb pollutants from a polluted environment and make the environment less toxic.

The best macrophytes as bio-cleaners in this case are Phragmites australi and Typha angustifolia species. Communal infrastructure of modern standards should be organized in the municipalities of Adjara within the framework of the "Water Supply and Drainage Program of Adjara Townships and Villages", which also includes the construction of treatment facilities. In Khulo, Shuakhevi and Ochkhamuri, artificial swamps will be built to clean sewage water. Decontamination of sewage water in such "swamps" will mainly depend on specially selected plants. However, the polluted water will be cleaned mechanically before being discharged into the "swamp".
