For the Sake of the Country’s Progress and for the Good of Every Citizen

In the period of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State, the socioeconomic policy of Turkmenistan, pursued under the leadership of the respected President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, is aimed at the increase in the welfare and quality of the life of the population, the ensuring of sustainable economic growth, the diversification and competitiveness of the national economy, industrial and innovative development, the strengthening of market and institutional reforms, the growth in investment activity, the strengthening of foreign economic positions, the expansion of international cooperation and the integration of the country into the world economic system and environment protection. The priority factor in the development of the national economy at the present stage is the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by all UN member states, as a guideline for the long term.

New Frontiers of Agricultural Complex

The most important priority of the state policy pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov is the intensive development of the agroindustrial complex, the ensuring of food abundance in the country, the expansion of the export opportunities of the national economy and the strengthening of the economic power of Turkmenistan. Large-scale transformations, aimed at raising the efficiency of agriculture and increasing the volume of the production of various agricultural goods, are being successfully implemented in the agroindustrial complex. As world experience shows, no other product will give the country and its people such wellbeing and the country prosperity, economic activity and progress as agricultural crops. Only the transition of the agricultural economy to market relations can solve all the socioeconomic problems facing any country. And it is not accidental that the most important priority of the economic strategy, pursued by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, is the active implementation of agricultural reforms, aimed at the diversification of production, the creation of favourable conditions for the agricultural industry, the widespread introduction of market mechanisms and the effective use of scientific achievements in this sphere.

How to Prevent Seasonal Diseases

The air temperature drops, the days become shorter, sleep and eating patterns change – the body goes into acclimatisation mode and becomes more vulnerable. Autumn is the time when the personal health problems, physical and mental, become more acute. According to statistics, the largest number of exacerbations of chronic diseases occur during this period. Even healthy people experience stress during the transition period, not to mention those with health problems. Climate has a direct and indirect effect on humans. The direct influence is very diverse and is due to the direct effect of climatic factors on the human body, particularly on the conditions of heat exchange with the environment: on the blood supply to the skin, the respiratory and cardiovascular system and sweating. Many people find it very difficult to adjust to autumn weather due to the sudden change in temperature, dampness and coolness.
