Abstract: In this article, the types of crime and their territorial aspects specific to the Kokand city, one of the largest cities of the Republic of Uzbekistan, are studied. An analysis of the last 5 years (2018-2022) of serious bodily injury, theft, and drug-related crimes among the types of crimes committed in the city was conducted. 1:50,000 scale maps of property, person and drug crimes were created using Arc GIS software.

Abstract:  The Indian Himalayan region has a rich diversity of medicinal plants which are widely used in traditional medicinal systems. The present paper concludes the diversity, vernacular names, associated authorship, ethno-medicinal uses, and use pattern, life form; plant part used and accession number of the medicinal flora together of Bageshwar district of Uttarakhand. The paper describes distribution and local/traditional uses of the 144 medicinal plants representing 64 families (62- Angiospermic families, 2-Gymnospermic families), in which trees 15% were, shrubs were 22%, herbs were 56% and climbers were 7% in total. Various plant parts used in formulations, such as: root- 27%, rhizomes- 5%, tuber/ bulb- 4%, leaves- 29%, whole plant- 9%, bark- 11%, seeds- 4%, resin /latex/oil-2%, flowers and inflorescences-3%, Heart wood- 1% and fruits - 5% were used in the treatment of different ailments.

Abstract: Candidatus  portiera is an obligate primary endosymbiont harboured by white flies  including the cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci. A survey of C. portiera endosymbionts was conducted by using polymerase chain reaction with universal primers for 16SrDNA within Pakistani whitefly population collected from different cotton growing areas of the Punjab further analysed by cloning of the PCR products, RFLP analysis, finally sequences were obtained from commercial labs  and phylogenetic analysis were done of all the detected C. portiera clone.  This is the first report regarding the identification of C. protiera from the Pakistan. The C. portiera  was detected almost in all samples of whitefly from 16 different location of Punjab Pakistan  This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the Primary endosymbionts, their host specificity and their diversity across the world.

Abstract: Field experiments were carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal University of Technology Akure to evaluate the comparative effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on soil physicochemical properties and the quality of yam.  Six treatments were applied including NPK at 450Kg/ha (NPK), poultry manure at 2000 Kg/ha (PM), wood ash at 2000Kg/ha (WA), NPK + poultry manure at 225 and 1000 kg/ha (NPK + PM) poultry manure + wood ash at 1,000 Kg/ha each (PM + WA) and control (no fertilizer). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) having 3 replications. The result revealed that organic manures significantly (P=0.05) improved the quality of yam compared to the inorganic fertilizers and control. PM + WA had a significant higher % crude protein (4.729), % dry matter (39.966), % Ash (1.2983) compared to other treatments. WA recorded a more significant higher value for carbohydrate (59.24%) compared to the other treatments. The % fibre was significantly higher in PM tubers. The soil pH increased more in areas where wood ash was applied compared to the other plots. No significant increase was observed in the % silt, clay, sand and gravel contents of the soil. Organic fertilizers in both single and mixed forms highly increased yam quality and soil pH.

Abstract: Gallus sonneratti Temminck, 1813 (Galliformes: Phasianida) reportedly carries four species of Phthiraptera (two amblyceran louse, Menacanthus pallidulus, Neumann, 1912; Menopon gallinae Linnaeus, 1758 and two ischnoceran louse, Goniodes dissimilis Denny, 1842;  Lipeurus caponis Linnaeus, 1758).  During the present studies, one more ischnoceran louse, Goniocotes gallinae (De Geer, 1778) was recorded for the first time from the aforesaid host. As a result, the presence of G. gallinae (De Geer, 1778) on G. sonneratti Temminck, 1813 represents a new host record.

Annotation. The article Fergana Valley soils were protected lands until the beginning of our century, and were developed at a high speed by digging the Big Fergana, Southern Fergana, Okhunboboev and other canals. The construction of large inter-farm reservoirs has reduced the level of water. The salinity of large salt marshes and highly saline lands has decreased to moderate or low salinity. However, the development of Fergana hills and desert massifs leads to the expansion of the area of saline lands in Central Fergana.

Abstract： The increasing prevalence of hypertension and malaria in Nigeria will pose a higher economic and health burden, the association between malaria and hypertension could increase the prevalence of hypertension in Nigeria. This study aimed at presenting the possible association of hypertension and malaria in malaria patients attending General Hospital Ile-Oluji, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, Nigeria. All the 317 patients with detail record were studied in this period (1st January 2015 to 31st December, 2018, A 4-year retrospective study). This includes in-patients and outpatients. The medical records of all patients diagnosed with malaria over the same period were extracted for an in-depth analysis of the prevalence of hypertension within the study group. Records of all patients who visited the hospital within the stipulated 4-year time period were examined. The overall prevalence of malaria is 47.95% (152/317), it was noted that there was higher prevalence among female 50.22% (115/229) than male 42.05% (37/88) however, the differences in prevalence was not significant (p=0.192, x² =1.701, df= 1). Based on age group, the prevalence was higher among those that are under the age of 31 years 57.14% (4/7) and closely followed by age range 51-60 and 41-50 years 49.44% (44/89) and 49.32% (36/73) respectively and there was no difference in age prevalence statistically (p= 0.904, x² = 1.035, df= 4). Among the 152 people infected with malaria during the period considered in this study, the overall prevalence of hypertension is 35.52% (54/152) and statistically, there was no significant (p = 0.172, x² = 1.865, df = 1) association between hypertension and malaria in the study area. More female 37.39% (43/115) were hypertensive compared with male 29.73% (11/37) however, there was higher prevalence of hypertension among Christian 38.76% (50/129) infected with malaria than Muslim 17.39% (4/23) and a significant (p = 0.049, x² = 3.891, df = 1) association between hypertension and malaria among the religious groups. Since there was no significant association between malaria and hypertension in the study area, further surveillance with larger population should be considered for the study.
