The article presents materials on the study of the cicadas Laodelphax striatellus Fall. and Muirodelphax aubei Perr.in the Fergana Valley, their morphological and biological characteristics, systematic position, distribution, harmfulness, food connections and peculiarities of their diagnosis. As I.D. Mityaev points out [1], the useful value of cicadas for humans is very insignificant. There is evidence that some peoples eat large singing cicadas, considering them medicinal, or keep cicadas in cages for the sake of their peculiar singing. It is proved that some species of cicadas, in places of their mass reproduction, play a significant role in the permeability of moisture and aeration of the soil, the underground work of their larvae. Larvae and imago of cicadas are a source of food for many animals and they play a certain role in biocenoses. Some species, due to their low abundance and low harmfulness, are not of great practical importance for humans. Most of the cicadas are pests of various agricultural plants [2, pp. 146-150]. As noted by D.A. Azimov, without deep knowledge of the fauna and development of the taxonomy of insects, as well as other groups of fauna and vegetation, it is impossible to solve further problems of protection and rational use of useful forms, as well as organization of plant protection [3, pp. 54-55]. Therefore, the study of cicadas and their diagnosis is not only theoretical, but also practical.

This work is devoted to the speech impact of advertising texts, in other words, the language of advertising, the purpose of which is to attract the attention of a potential consumer by making the message as memorable and unusual as possible, lively and catchy, colorful and attractive to a potential listener / buyer. The significance of the work lies in the fact that the author, in the process of analyzing the basic structural elements of the advertising message (slogan and main body), determines the main speech techniques for the influence of advertising texts: expressive means, including metaphors, epithets metonymy, speech turns, paths, various grammatical forms and other forms of influence: nominative, one-part, verb sentences, comparative and superlative adjectives, rhymes, imperative verbs, adverbs, lexical repetition. On specific examples of advertising slogans, evidence is given that the above speech means contribute to increased demand for the advertised product or service. During the study, the author confirms the hypothesis put forward at the beginning of the study: if you skillfully use speech exposure, i.e. to choose words whose harmonious combination lays in the subconscious of a person the information transmitted to him by the manufacturer through high-quality advertising, then such an advertising text can become the key to the success of trade. The work is of great practical importance: the material presented in it can be used by students to improve the culture of speech, improve stylistically differentiated speech, as well as school teachers as methodological material in the Russian language when studying the section «Vocabulary», «Stylistics».

One of the urgent problems of modern dermatology, which are of deep scientific interest and are of extremely great practical importance, is the complex and controversial issue of the etiology of eczema. However, despite the colossal literature, despite a number of detailed experimental studies, the main and deep contradictions of representatives of the main dermatological schools on the nature of eczema remain unresolved.

Skin temperature depends mainly on the amount of incoming blood and is of great practical importance. In limb artery embolism the skin temperature reveals a large difference on the healthy and diseased limb. In doubtful cases this symptom allows a diagnosis to be made after 1-2 hours and a timely operation to be undertaken.

The experimental use of “geologic radar” to explore through coal from mined passages underground has already been reported elsewhere (Cook, 1973, 1974). Low‐resolution borehole radar work in salt, a much more favorable medium, has also been reported (Holzer et al., 1972). The purpose of this paper is to report the first known results of borehole radar tests in coal. The exploration of coal seams via boreholes from the surface is potentially a technique of great practical importance. The borehole experiment was performed in conjunction with a month‐long program of radar tests in Australian collieries and quarries performed under the sponsorship of the third ICOGEO and supported by several Australian mining and research organizations. A report on that program is expected to appear in the Bulletin of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists some time during 1977.

The topic of human attitudes about computers has been dealt with extensively in both the academic and popular literature, but it remains an issue of importance. The continued relevance was well illustrated by the Soviet chess grandmaster, Karpov, who recently remarked that he was not afraid to lose a chess game to a computer, but that people who worked with such computers could lose their soul to the machines (Hooper, 1990). The beliefs which people hold toward computers will affect their computer interaction and their willingness to adapt to automated systems: therefore the issue is of great practical importance. This paper reports on a replication of an early IBM study with the intent of assessing contemporary attitudes towards computers and the changes in attitudes over the last 25 years.

This review focuses on the enzymatic breakdown of chitin, taking into account the latest scientific reports on the activity of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO). Chitin is a natural, abundant polysaccharide of great practical importance in the environment. However, the insolubility in water and the tightly packed crystalline structure of chitin pose a serious obstacle to enzymatic degradation. This substrate can be converted into soluble sugars by the action of glycosidic hydrolases (GH), also known as chitinases. LPMO could prove to be helpful in enzymatic processes that increase the rate of chitin depolymerisation by improving the availability of substrates for chitinases. The unique action of LPMO is based on the ability to catalyse the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic chains present in complex, resistant crystal networks of chitin, and this cleavage facilitates the subsequent action of glycolytic hydrolases.

The value of fluoride treatment in dental caries prevention was again well emphasized by Ripa1 and the Leskes2 in the August issue of Pediatrics. One problem not discussed and of great practical importance to patient and physician is the child living in an area with a fluoridated public water supply who neither drinks water nor ingests it via tap water used for cooking, mixed frozen juices, etc. In our area and among our private patients, most infants are on preprepared formulas or on breast milk and take little or no tap water.

The article is devoted to the work of the committees and commissions that worked in the Terek region in the 40-70s of 19th century. The article analyzes the reasons for the creation, composition, tasks and main activities of the committees. The study examines the attempts of these committees and commissions to resolve the agrarian issue in the Central Caucasus. The conclusion shows the importance of their activities for the study of agrarian and class relations in the region. The author comes to the conclusion that the activities of the committees and commissions were of great practical importance. Thanks to their work, it was possible to ease the severity of social conflicts in the region. They laid the foundation for the settlement of the land issue, which continued in the following decades. Thanks to the painstaking work of the committees and commissions, a huge amount of materials was collected. They are of great importance for studying the history of that time. The materials of these committees and commissions in most cases were the main source of information, which formed the basis for the research of historians and ethnographers of different generations.
