“…Venting holes are arranged in the transverse walls separating the pools, which are located alternately at the right, then at the left walls (for sturgeon -at the bottom; for carp -near the surface). And also, to increase the efficiency of attracting fish, additionally, on both sides of the stepped trays, a transit part is made in the form of a rapid flow for large fish that are accustomed to independently climbing up on a smooth surface [24][25][26]. Figure 5 shows the diagram of the fishpassing facility in the form of stepped trays and the 2-2 transverse section of the stepped tray.…”

Fisheries are an important economic component of the Republic of Kazakhstan, covering an area of 25.475 hectares throughout the country. However, fish are threatened by natural and artificial obstacles such as heavy rains, droughts, floods, and electricity consumption. Although fish enclosure structures can offer protection, designing new, more efficient fish-passing facilities is crucial. This study aimed to develop a model for a fish-passing facility, with experiments conducted at the Dulati Taraz Regional University in the laboratory of hydraulic structures and land reclamation. Researchers built a laboratory model of the facility and compiled an analytical model of the proposed technical solution. The study calculated the optimal values of the additional pressure and axial velocity of the total flow based on the required attracting flow. The practical significance of this research is in the ability to create a controlled high-speed flow regime in the fish-passing tract, which would provide favourable conditions for the passage of different types of passing and semi-passing fish through the hydroelectric facility dam, despite significant fluctuations in the headwater levels. The scientific nature of this research is evident in its contribution to the broader knowledge base in the field of fisheries and ecological engineering. The study expands our understanding of fish behaviour and provides new insights into the design of fish-passing facilities.

Climate change, urbanisation and population growth are creating the necessity in urban systems to integrate the management of water resources which volume been significantly declined. Several cities are already feeling water stress. The solution is to conceptualise Smart Cities that are considering aspects of effective water resources management. Countries like Slovakia have not been adequately considering these issues as much as they should. Responding to the opportunity to fill a research gap, primary research has been conducted that seeks i) to update data from the Arcadis Sustainable Cities Water Index in selected cities and for Slovakia; ii) to identify the current situation in integrated water resources management both globally and in Slovakia; and iii) to propose a process for integrated management of limited water resources based on our own research findings. Research data were collected through sociological interrogation that was processed and subsequently evaluated. The findings point to the need to build resilience, efficiency and quality in water resources both in urban environments and in water management institutions. The main output from this paper is a proposed process for managing water resources within the Smart Cities concept. It can be utilised for strategic city management, water management institutions, fellow researchers and residents of any city implementing it in their own practices. Part of planned future research is to verify the process in practice.

Humanitarian NGOs work on social security and health security at local, regional and global levels. Natural and artificial disasters have increased worldwide in the past, and our future will not be immune. The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) is seen in mixed light, as local, regional and global CSOs exist and operate worldwide. The local group includes those active and valuable only in a single city or town; the regional group consists of those with a national or continental presence; and the global group includes those active locally, regionally and visibly on several continents. One such international organization is the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta. Understanding the NGOs activity management philosophy and the existence of humanitarian NGOs in the global security arena, and understanding the global activity management of the Order of Malta’s Organisation, The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta, requires an analysis of international security, the structure of European security and the security issues in Hungary, and the interconnections between them.
