Heartfelt Gratitude from Mother

These the words that the letters addressed to the National Leader of the Turkmen people Hero-Arkadag and respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov begin with. Their authors are the mothers whose children are under the auspices of the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Aid to Children in Need of Guardianship. Young citizens of Turkmenistan who needed complex and urgent medical care have undergone the treatment and rehabilitation courses and surgeries, including those that have never been performed in our country before. The leading foreign experts, for the most part from Germany, were engaged in providing consultations and sharing experience with their Turkmen counterparts. All the costs associated with the medical care and rehabilitation of children were covered by the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Aid to Children in Need of Guardianship.

Drip irrigation device

The Technology Centre of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan has developed an innovative drip irrigation injector that allows efficiently using water, boosts the growth of plant-associated microbes that convert the unavailable nutrients to available form and helps utilise many types of industrial emissions. The device is made of lump sulphur, activated carbon, metal shavings, river sand and fat-and-oil soapstock, or returnable industrial waste, and looks like a tube with tubules, which is buried deep to the base. The injector is connected to the water supply network and delivers moisture and nutrients directly to the root system. Thus, water does not directly come into contact with the above-ground parts of plants, which slows down decay and fungi reproduction. The Centre has also developed the composition of “eco-granules”, which to some extent contribute to land desalinization, the assimilation of necessary microelements by agricultural crops and the growth of useful soil microbes. The mixture is composed of calcined algae, trace elements of thermo-mineral water, slaked lime, zeolite and other additives, it is a waste material of cleaning reservoirs and canals and brings an additional amount of organic matter to areas under cultivation. The emulsion with the additive can be sprayed on plant stems. The authors of two inventions are scientists Meretmuhammet Hudayberdiyev an

An Old-Timer among Trees

People say about a wise, generous and kind person, “Shady like a plane tree”, drawing an analogy with the tree species of the same name. Another name, Chinar, is a popular female name in the countries of the East. On the territory of Turkmenistan, Oriental Plane – one of the 10 species found in the countries of Central Asia – grows. The tree grows along the banks of mountain rivers and streams and is part of the mixed forests of low mountains and gorges. The plane tree can be several thousand years old, because once planted a thin stem grows into a tree giant in a few centuries. The time of planting is already forgotten long ago and no one remembers the name of the planter, but the tree will give shade and coolness to people for many years to come. Out of respect for the ability of the plant to stand for centuries, people protect centuries-old plane tree groves, and individual old-timers who have reached impressive sizes are revered as sacred, they are given names associated with ancient parables or legends.

Rules of Conduct in the Hot Days of the Summer Season

In the summer, under the influence of the sun, vital microelements are produced in the body. Water-salt metabolism is activated, much fluid is excreted through the skin. For the body to function normally, it is necessary to consume 1.5-2 litres of drinking water during the day. It is useful to consume dried fruit and juices of fresh fruit and vegetables, based on the advice of a doctor. Food taken throughout the day should be nutritious and easily digestible. It must be cooked before taking. Due to the fact that the air temperature rises very much, children and the elderly are advised to stay outside from 6.00–9.00 am and from 6.00–9.00 pm, respectively, taking with them the necessary amount of drinking water and dressing according to the requirements of the summer season. Arriving in a cool room from outside, it is necessary to change wet clothes for dry ones, in no case should you put your head, face and chest under the air conditioner, as this can lead to colds of the maxillofacial part and head and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. It is also unacceptable to immediately, after coming from outside, take a cold shower and drink ice water from the fridge. This is fraught with diseases of the oral cavity, teeth, oesophagus and upper respiratory tract.

Drivers of the National Economy

The impressive achievements in the economy that Turkmenistan has gained are the natural results of the measures taken on the initiative of Arkadagly Serdar. Sustainable economic growth has been achieved primarily through the targeted implementation of deep structural market transformations in the economy, the diversification and technical re-equipment of industries and the construction of new competitive enterprises. Today, one of the priority areas for deepening the economic reforms, carried out in Turkmenistan, is the further development of small business and private entrepreneurship. An important stimulating role in the development of the business community in Turkmenistan is primarily played by tax incentives, financial support measures, concessional lending, the simplification of export-import operations, the provision of practical assistance at all stages of organisation, the implementation of entrepreneurial activities and the bringing of legislation in this area in line with the requirements of international norms and principles. A particularly powerful impetus to the development of small business was given by the National Programme of the Socioeconomic Development of Turkmenistan for 2022–2028, which provides for such main directions as the further promotion of a favourable policy for the development of this sector through the creation of stimulating legislative docum

30 Years of Cooperation

In the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State under the leadership of the respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, special attention is paid to the wide study, popularisation and preservation of the national cultural and spiritual heritage of the Turkmen people. This is evidenced by the expanding fruitful cooperation between Turkmenistan and UNESCO. It is a specialised body of the United Nations for education, science and culture. Turkmenistan became a full member of UNESCO in August 1993, after ratifying the relevant document. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan’s membership in UNESCO. Over the past years, a reliable international legal framework for cooperation between Turkmenistan and UNESCO has been formed. In 1994, our country joined the UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. A significant practical step in the implementation of the obligations assumed was the adoption of the Laws of Turkmenistan “On the Protection of Objects of National Historical and Cultural Heritage”, “On the Protection of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage”, “On the Protection, Export and Import of Movable Values of the National Historical and Cultural Heritage”, “On the Folk Art of Turkmenistan” and others.

New Method of Surgery in Practice of Turkmen Doctors

An orthopaedic surgery, a Pemberton osteotomy, was performed for the first time in Turkmenistan on 5.5-year-old Atajan Shohradov from the Lebap velayat at the Clinical Research Centre of Maternal and Child Health. The child is under the care of the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation for Aid to Children in Need of Guardianship. Turkmen specialists studied the new method a year ago.

Resin from Mountain Caves

This natural resinous mixture of organic and inorganic substances can be found in rock crevices, where it occurs and accumulates in the form of films, “plugs” and outgrowths mixed with sand and pebbles. It is called mumijo; it is the most ancient medicament of natural origin, known in oriental medicine for more than 3,000 years. Its origin has long remained a mystery, most naturalists and now cannot come to a common “denominator”, believing that it is a product of the vital activity of animals and plants. This natural medicinal material is used in animal husbandry as an immunomodulator that help prevent and treat various diseases. Let’s turn to ancient sources. Aristotle, who lived in the 4th century BC, described the medicinal properties of mumijo and how to test its quality. A Central Asian encyclopaedist Al-Biruni (973-1048) writes, “Mountain resin in some respects is identical to amber and aromatic resins. It is a gum that flows from a certain rock in the mountains, and no one knows where its source is. I was in one village and asked about it, and they told me that they go up to hard-to-reach places, look for it and there they find it stuck to stones in the same way as gum grows onto a tree.” A renowned healer Abu Ali ibn Sina (Avicenna) (980-1037) notes, “Mumijo has the same strength and the same nature as zift (asphalt) and bitumen mixed together, but it is more perfect a
