Such linguistic units become the nucleus in expressing the particular concept. But nonlinguistic expressioners also influence the linguistic core nature. According to the conclusion of the author, the study of the synchronous and diachronic nature of the concepts which exist in the linguistic mind of the particular people, must be an integral part of the study of the history of this nation. Consequently, analyzing the respect and disrespect concept in the Uzbek communication custom illuminates not only the anthropolinguistic description of this nation, but also historical description
The impact of uncertainty on smallholder farmers' income in Kyrgyzstan
The farming systems in the mountain areas of Kyrgyzstan are primarily characterised by small-scale crop and livestock activities. Farmers are faced with several environmental, socio-economic and political challenges and constraints that result in significant uncertainties affecting their operations. This paper attempts to model how various sources of uncertainty collectively affected the smallholders’ farm incomes during a mid-term horizon using Monte Carlo simulation. The analyses were based on data collected through a survey of 235 smallholder farms in the medium and high-elevation mountains ranges and expert interviews. We defined a static and a dynamic scenario, the latter of which incorporating likely adjustments in land use and production methods by farmers in response to changing prices and factor costs. Our results suggest that to benefit from improving market opportunities, farmers should adjust and modify their farm management by expanding cash crops in the medium-elevation ranges or increasing herd sizes and fodder cultivation in high-altitude ranges. Results also indicate that farmers in the medium elevations benefit more from these opportunities than farmers in higher altitudes. The paper concludes with some practical recommendations for agricultural policy making in Kyrgyzstan

A Sand Cone Model of Lean Implementation
Over the past 20 years Lean Production system has been a focus of researches by different academicians. A numerous works have been written in the field of Lean implementation in manufacturing companies. However, as shown, most of the academic topics relate to the issues of implementing Lean tools and techniques. Critical Success Factors have been also described widely; however, no efforts in systematization have been made. Only several works have a focus on integration of Lean implementation and organizational change process. Nevertheless, even those researches are found to be lacking of practical applicability. The main drawback of presented approaches is inability to capture relationship between different tools and soft dimensions of Lean during implementation process.
This paper takes focus on balanced approach during Lean implementation. Through utilization of Critical Success Factors, author identifies the relationship between Lean tools, Performance-management system, and Mind-set of employees. Moreover, the research suggests the cumulative of way in relationship between these elements. The paper elaborates on similarity of Lean implementation actions and Sand Cone model of performance improvement. Further, the suitability of this approach is tested with case study in Air CA. A case study was conducted in service environment in order to fill the gap in literature on Lean implementation in service. As the result show, the relationships between organizational changes areas indeed follow the suggested principle. However, a more in-depth study in multiple cases is required.
