Towards surface-wave tomography with 3D resolution and uncertainty
Authors: Latallerie Franck , Zaroli Christophe , Lambotte Sophie , Maggi Alessia , Walker Andrew , Koelemeijer Paula
Published: October 2024

Surface-wave tomography is crucial for mapping upper-mantle structure in poorly instrumented regions such as the oceans. However, data sparsity and errors lead to tomographic models with complex resolution and uncertainty, which can impede meaningful physical interpretations. Accounting for the full 3D resolution and robustly estimating model uncertainty remains challenging in surface-wave tomography. Here, we propose an approach to control and produce resolution and uncertainty in a fully three-dimensional framework by combining the Backus-Gilbert-based SOLA method with finite-frequency theory. Using a synthetic setup, we demonstrate the reliability of our approach and illustrate the artefacts arising in surface-wave tomography due to limited resolution. We also indicate how our synthetic setup enables us to assess the theoretical model uncertainty (arising due to assumptions in the forward theory), which is often overlooked due to the difficulty in assessing it. We show that in the current setup the theoretical uncertainty components may be much larger than the measurement uncertainty, thus dominating the overall uncertainty. Our study paves the way for more robust and quantitative interpretations in surface-wave tomography.
A mixed methods enquiry on student perceptions and experiences of online learning
Authors: Gonzalez Buelga Alicia , Lazar Irina , Trahar Sheila
Published: October 2024

This article reports on a small, in-depth study designed to explore qualitatively how first year Mechanical Engineering students in a UK University perceived their learning and their university experience during the academic year 2020/21, when much of the delivery was online due to the global pandemic. As we move forward to a new normal, where blended and hybrid learning will be at the centre of our education offer, it is important for us to better understand students’ experiences and perceptions of online learning. To enable this understanding, students were invited to collaborate with us in this exploration, in June 2021 following the completion of their first year at University. Two options for collaboration were offered: an online survey and an in-depth interview. In our study, the results from the online survey informed and complemented the interviews.
Interviewed students generally perceived online learning as ‘second class’, with the use of breakout rooms being especially unpopular.   Students were also particularly critical of hybrid experiences relating to groupwork (when in-person and online teaching and learning happen simultaneously). At the same time, they reported many positive experiences when using online tools, such as asynchronous videos followed by a collaborative flipped classroom.  All students affirmed the importance of the social dimensions of learning and how their learning had been heavily affected by the pandemic.  Key recommendations are that academics need to better understand group dynamics when using online and hybrid approaches and that high quality feedback on assignments is even more crucial when learning is taking place online.
People are increasingly bored in our digital age
Authors: Tam Katy Yuen Yan , Inzlicht Michael
Published: October 2024

In an era where entertainment is effortlessly at our fingertips, one would assume that people are less bored than ever. Yet, reports of boredom are higher now than compared to the past. This rising trend is concerning because chronic boredom can undermine well-being, learning, and behaviour. Understanding why this is happening is crucial to prevent further negative impacts. In this Perspective, we explore one possible reason—digital media use makes people more bored. We propose that digital media increases boredom through dividing attention, elevating desired level of engagement, reducing sense of meaning, heightening opportunity costs, and serving as an ineffective boredom coping strategy.
Do procedurally just interactions increase police legitimacy? Evidence from a representative vignette experiment in Colombia
Authors: Abril Veronica , Perez-Vincent Santiago , Tobon Santiago , Vanegas-Arias Martin
Published: October 2024

This study explores whether procedurally just interactions between police and citizens enhance perceptions of police legitimacy in high-crime environments. We conducted a representative in-person survey across five major Colombian cities, covering about 7 million residents. The survey included a vignette experiment presenting respondents with one of four scenarios that varied police officer respectfulness—characterized by clear communication of intentions—and neutrality. Our findings reveal that respectful behavior from officers significantly boosts citizens' perceptions of police legitimacy. In contrast, neutrality alone, or even combined with respect, does not affect these perceptions. This suggests that respect is an important component of procedural justice in fostering police legitimacy, while the standalone importance of neutrality is questionable. Policymakers should note that emphasizing respectful interactions in police training can foster greater trust and cooperation within communities, aiding effective crime prevention and community policing efforts. Conversely, focusing solely on neutrality without ensuring respect may be insufficient, possibly due to citizens' biases toward specific stereotypes.
Value chains of AI: Data Training Firms, Platforms and Workers
Authors: Anwar Mohammad Amir
Published: October 2024

From self-checkouts to self-driving cars to social media newsfeed to surveillance systems, artificial intelligence (AI) is part of our lives whether we know it or not. Recent scholarship is attempting to explore how different places and people are involved in the development of AI. This chapter builds on this scholarship to extend the debate around the hidden and opaque networks of sub- contracting practices for AI training. In particular, it examines the ways in which lead firms develop their AI systems by tapping into a complex network of suppliers, platforms, and human workers doing data work in some of the most marginalised parts of the world. The chapter shows that despite their touted nature as autonomous machines (i.e. without human control), AI is dependent on a global army of human labour performing a wide variety of data enrichment tasks. It then concludes by discussing implications of this data work on workers and places where AI gets trained.
Pre-migration capital, refugee journeys, and typical trajectories of refugee women and men in Germany: a sequence analysis approach
Authors: Gundacker Lidwina
Published: October 2024

Roughly a decade ago, the entry and admission of refugees has prominently returned to the political agendas in Europe. With that, researchers and policy-makers have shown increasing interest in factors that determine the participation of refugees in receiving societies, labor markets and education systems. The analyses in this paper address the conflicting views in sociology of migration on whether pre-migration capital benefits refugees after arrival or whether it erodes with refugee migration. On the one hand, social and economic capital is accumulated over the life course and is expected to benefit the individual also after the migration process. On the other hand, fleeing to another country represents a pivotal break with the power to eliminate advantages of pre-migration capital. This paper uses sequence analysis combined with cluster analysis to identify typical integration trajectories of refugee women and men in Germany and explores whether these trajectories vary with pre-migration socioeconomic resources. Importantly, I also account for characteristics of the individual refugee journeys in shaping post-migration biographies, to the extent that the data allows. I rely on a rich set of survey data combined with administrative employment data. Given that individual factors and migration experiences may play out differently for refugee women and men, the analyses are run separately by gender. The results imply that social and economic capital does not completely erode over the migration process. Men, however, have an easier time to capitalize on their pre-migration skills in terms of entering paid labor. More educated women are instead overrepresented in education-intense biographies. Furthermore, longer and riskier journeys are associated with lower participation profiles after arrival, at least for refugee men. Overall, the study illustrates the need to further disentangle how refugee migration processes and selection patterns shape subsequent integration trajectories.
Voicing First Nations Country, culture and community in urban policy

Published: October 2024

Current approaches to engaging First Nations peoples in urban policy and planning are placing an unreasonable and unsustainable burden, especially on Traditional Custodians, new AHURI research finds. A change of relationship with Traditional Custodians and a rethinking of current engagement approaches could create a more responsible process.The research, ‘Voicing First Nations Country, culture and community in urban policy’, undertaken for AHURI by researchers from University of Sydney, RMIT University and University of NSW, examines the relationship of First Nations peoples in Australia to urban policy, and is designed to centre First Nations sovereignty, authority, knowledge, governance and agency as the starting point toward a more responsible relationship.Urban places, from large metropolitan areas to small towns in regional areas, are sites of intensive dispossession at the same time as being dense networks of community and ongoing cultural practice and connection. Nevertheless, urbanisation and the density of population settlement, private property and the miasma of legislation, policy and regulation imposed on Country hasn’t destroyed First Nations Traditional Custodians connection to ancestral lands or their cultural obligations and rights to lands and waters.Governments are asking local planners and developers to consult with First Nation Traditional Custodians with some level of engagement. This has the effect of intensifying pressure on Custodians, with short timeframes and often unrealistic expectations imposed upon First Nations communities.Urban policy planning can be a tool for healing and repair between First Nations people and the broader Australian community. Engagement can be used to create new opportunities—but current engagement approaches require rethinking and need to include building longer term relationships, long before a project requires engagement. Building and sustaining relationships and creating new processes and models must be supported with resources structures that are secure, ongoing and transcend piecemeal project-by-project funding.
Building trust in the police: Evidence from a multi-site experiment in Colombia
Authors: Abril Veronica , Norza Ervyn , Perez-Vincent Santiago , Tobon Santiago , Weintraub Michael
Published: October 2024

We study how improving police-citizen interactions increases public trust by experimentally evaluating a police training program in Colombia. The National Police retrained officers in procedural justice principles—such as fairness and respect—while instructing them to intensify citizen interactions. The intervention improved policing frequency, perceptions of fair treatment, and public trust. Our analysis points to strong complementarities between more and better policing: more interactions that lack good behavior or good behavior without increased interactions do not improve trust. We find no impacts on officers’ trust in citizens or beliefs about public trust, implying that institutional change may require more profound efforts.
Is the sandpit methodology a solution for disparities in research funding? Considerations regarding inclusion, diversity, equity, and access
Authors: Tibboel Helen , Pijpers Kevin , de Bruin Gwen , Denktas Semiha
Published: October 2024

The distribution of research funding in academia is not equitable. There is a disproportionate allocation of funding benefitting an academic elite, whereas researchers from different marginalized groups have fewer opportunities to obtain funding. This can be changed by exploring alternative ways to allocate research funding. One way in which funding agencies have tried to stimulate research based on more equitable principles is the sandpit model. A sandpit is an intensive, multi-day brainstorming event during which different consortia are formed. These consortia are subsequently required to compete to obtain research funding. Very little research is done on how and whether such models work. There is some evidence that, under the right circumstances, models such as the sandpit can stimulate multidisciplinary research with societal impact. However, no attention has been given to the question whether these models contribute to equity within the academic world, or whether they sustain the inequities that are prominent. Within this paper, we critically examine possible mechanisms of exclusion through an in-depth study of a sandpit event, and we discuss which groups are disadvantaged by these events. Furthermore, we suggest ways in which sandpits and other funding initiatives can be made more equitable.
Agriculture in Ancient Sanskrit Texts: Relevance in Modern Nepal
Authors: Adhikari Sudhir Kumar
Published: October 2024

There are large numbers of ancient Sanskrit texts that include agricultural science in them.  Manuscripts like Vedas, Krishi-Parashara, Kautilya’s Arthashastra consist of valuable information about agronomy. Selections of seeds, land preparation, water management and irrigation, pest control, storage, crop rotation and so on are the topics described in them. There is a treasure of knowledge on agriculture in ancient Sanskrit text. Nepal, as an agricultural country, is lagging behind to fulfill the basic needs of general people along with economic depletion. Agro-economics can be benefited from the principles described in above mentioned ancient Sanskrit texts. Therefore, this paper seeks to preview a brief arm-chaired survey of our ancient literatures. The effort especially focuses on Vedas, Krishi-Parashara and Kautilya’s Arthashastra with special reference to agriculture focusing relevance in contemporary Nepal.The Economic Journal of Nepal, Vol. 35, No. 1, January-March 2012 (Issue N0. 137)
Cryptocurrency: Concept, Global Scenario and Nepal – A Short Essay
Authors: Ghimire Abhishek
Published: October 2024

In a world, witnessing an explosion of financial technology (fintech) innovations competing with traditional financial methods, cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology underpinning them have made it difficult for the relevant socio-economic and legal modifications to keep pace with the needs of time. The legal rules that apply to cryptocurrency remain unclear and unsettled even after fifteen years of its emergence. Due to the fear that cryptocurrencies would hamper the traditional market infrastructures and break off the control of the government over the monetary system, countries like Nepal have out rightly banned them without any proper research. However, their adoption seems to be accelerating in the global economies to harness the potentialities of this baffling technology. This research employs qualitative research techniques to examine the regulatory frameworks adopted worldwide to address the concerns so that strategies may be designed that will improve the management of these financial innovations and establish a more secure environment in which it can persist because, in the end, the global economy is going to be digital.
Knowledge and Practice of Junk Foods in Secondary Level Students
Authors: Kafle Bishnumani
Published: October 2024

Consumption of junk foods by adolescents has become a serious public health problem. Although they are aware of the adverse health consequences, most adolescents have limited information and hence change their eating behavior minimally. Socio-economic factors, influence of peers, and availability at cheaper prices stimulate the consumption of more junk food. Cultural changes due to urbanization and adoption of Western type of food habits have enhanced this problem by shifting the food preference toward junk food consumption. Some serious physical and academic consequences of junk foods consumption include obesity, diabetes, and poor academic performance. Major challenges to improvement in eating have included a lack of access to affordable healthy food and nutrition education. To promote better eating, efforts should include school-based nutrition education along with supporting policies and community involvement. These will reduce the health risks long-term by promoting efforts in knowledge gaps and socio-economic and cultural factors. Efforts to encourage healthier food environments and policy advocacy can boost adolescent health outcome.
Students’ Mathematical Errors: A Responsibility of the Teachers
Authors: Kshetree Mukunda Prakash
Published: October 2024

Among the roles and responsibilities of numerous factors for the formation of students’ errors, the specific objective of this research was to explore mathematics teachers’ insight with reference to their own teaching role that how far it was responsible to evolve and develop students’ mathematical errors. So, the study collected, analyzed and theorized the views and experiences of mathematics teachers regarding students’ mathematical errors which could be formed because of teachers’ different teaching styles and processes. There were four main areas of investigation to explore that how teaching/learning (T/L) process lead by the teachers is accountable for seeding mathematical errors in students’ learning progression. The study has basically followed a qualitative research design though it has processed some simple factual data. Thus, the perceptual information was supplemented and strengthened by the factual data gathered from the survey task. As a data collection procedure, it adapted interview, focus group discussion (FGD) and survey. For this, the required research tools developed were interview and FGD guidelines along with a set of surveying questionnaire. The qualitative information was coded as per the main themes of investigation of four areas and then they were critically judged, analyzed, and interpreted. At the end, the findings of the study were strengthened by a triangulation process with reference to relevant theories and previous research studies of the same field.
Socio-Demographic Determinants of Premature Child Mortality among Kumal Women in Gandaki Province, Nepal
Authors: Khanal Tantrika Raj , Devkota Govinda Prasad
Published: October 2024

Premature child mortality remains a pressing public health issue in rural, economically disadvantaged areas of Nepal. This study explores socio-demographic determinants of child mortality in the Kumal community of Gandaki Province. A cross-sectional survey of 322 mothers aged 15-49 analyzed key factors such as maternal age, family size, parental education, food security, and father’s employment status. Findings indicate that older maternal age (34-49 years) correlates with higher mortality rates (χ2 = 18.96, p = 0.021). Larger family size, particularly with three or more children, increases mortality (χ2 = 6.68, p = 0.033). Lower paternal education levels are also linked to higher mortality (χ2 = 15.37, p = 0.002). Food insecurity exacerbates risk, with insufficient food increasing death rates (χ2 = 4.319, p = 0.028). Additionally, the absence of fathers due to migration further raises mortality risks (χ2 = 12.719, p = 0.049). However, the sex of the last child and the household head did not significantly impact mortality. Qualitative data support these findings, emphasizing the need for improved prenatal care, educational programs, food security initiatives, and support for families affected by migration.
Nexus Between Tax Revenue and Economic Growth in Nepal
Authors: Bhattarai Toya Nath
Published: October 2024

This study examines the relationship between Nepal's economic growth and tax revenue from the country's fiscal years 2002–2003 to 2022–2023. Relevant time series secondary data were gathered from the World Bank, Nepal Rastra Bank, Ministry of Finance, Inland Revenue Department, and other sources in order to achieve the objectives. Scholarly publications from the past were also consulted. The linear regression model has been used to examine the gathered data. The outcome demonstrates that overall revenue, including tax revenue, significantly increases GDP. Although tax collection has shown encouraging trends, it is still insufficient to cover Nepal's government's expenses.

नेपाल विभिन्न सास्कृतिक र सामाजिक मूल्य मान्यताले भरिपूर्ण देश हो । वि.सं. १९०३ देखि २००७ सालसम्म राणाको शासन र त्यसपछिको अवधिमा शाह वंशीय राजाको शासन शैली निकै संघर्ष र उतारका कारण २०४६ सालको जनआन्दोलनले सम्बैधानिक राजतन्त्रमा स्थापित ग¥यो । यो आन्दोलनमा महिला वर्गको प्रत्यक्ष सहभागिताले राज्यका नागरिकमा लोकतान्त्रिक अधिकारको विजारोपण भयो । महिलाको राजनीतिक सहभागिता र संलग्नताले २०४६ सालको आन्दोलन निष्कर्षमामात्र पुग्न सकेन यसले महिला सशक्तिको प्रभावलाई विश्वव्यापी बनाउन सफल भयो । महिलाको राजनीतिक सहभागिताले लोकतान्त्रिक प्रकृयामा समावेशिकरणलाई बढाउने काम ग¥यो । नेपाली महिलाले समाज परिवर्तन र विकासका लागि विभिन्न क्षेत्रबाट विशेष गरी महिलाको समानता र अधिकार लागि रगरेका साहसिक कार्य जनता सामु प्रष्ट नै छन् । साहसी र संघर्षशिल महिलाका कारण नेपाली महिलाले सम्मनपूर्वक बाँच्न पाउने र स्वतन्त्रताको प्रत्याभूति गर्न पाउने वातावरण सिर्जना भएको हो । एकतन्त्रीय राणाशासनको विरुद्ध र महिलामाथि भएको विभिन्न प्रकारको शोषण, अन्याय र अत्याचारको विरुद्धमा थुप्रै महिलाले आफ्नो जीवनको आहुती समेत दिए । प्रजातान्त्रको स्थापना पछि नेपाली महिला राजनीतिक, सामाजिक, आर्थिक, शैक्षिक, साहित्य लगायतका क्षेत्रमा सकृय बने र २००७ सालको क्रान्ती होस वा २०४६ र २०६२ को महिला वर्गको सकृय सहभागिता नरहेको भए नेपालमा लोकतन्त्रको स्थापना हुन सक्ने थिएन । महिलाको अथक प्रयास र समाजको विभिन्न क्षेत्रमा र सुधार भएकाले लोकतान्त्रिक आन्दोलनमा महिला सहभागिताको परिणामको रुपमा लिन सकिन्छ । नेपालको प्रत्येक लोकतान्त्रिक आन्दोलनमा महिला वर्गको भूमिका उच्च रुपमा लिन सकिन्छ । यस अध्ययनको उद्देश्य नेपालको प्रजातान्त्रिक आन्दोलनबाट प्राप्त उपलब्धिको विश्लेषण गर्नु हो । आन्दोलनका यी सबै अवस्था र अभियानलाई नियाल्दा महिलाहरु संगठन निर्माण र आन्दोलनको हरेक मोर्चामा अग्रणी भूमिका निर्वाह गर्दै आउनु भएको हो ।
Parents’ perceptions towards free and compulsory education
Authors: Basnet Mahendra
Published: October 2024

This article is the study of school-going age children which is now a fundamental right in Nepal as described in article-31 in the constitution of Nepal in 2015 and the Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2018. On the same foundation, this article aims to study the view of parents towards the national policy of free and compulsory education. The research is based on the qualitative research design, which includes an in-depth study and document review of different national policies and field studies. Furthermore, the field study was conducted among the parents using a questionnaire interview to determine the real and exact situation of parents towards free and compulsory education. The research findings depicted no real feeling of free and compulsory education at the grassroots level. Parents have to pay some amount of money even in the community school for the education of their children. The scholarships provided by the nation are not sufficient for the poor, indigenous, backward and physically and mentally disabled students. The three-tier government has to work at its best to bring free and compulsory education into real practice in our everyday lives. The stakeholders are responsible for bringing this into practice as education is the only way to a prosperous and happy society and nation.

Policy versus Reality: Challenges of Implementing ICT in Higher Education in Nepal
Authors: Joshi Bishnu Maya , Acharya Umesh , Khatiwada Shambhu Prasad
Published: October 2024

This paper discusses the challenges of implementing information and communication technology (ICT) in higher education, comparing policy with reality in Nepal. Education is a socially oriented activity traditionally associated with strong teachers and personal contact with learners. ICT has become an integral part of today’s teaching and learning process. The efficient utilization of ICT can enhance student motivation, enhance class dynamics, and boost teacher enthusiasm as they acquire new skills and techniques. ICT in education significantly enhance teaching, learning, and research, preparing future generations for future careers and lives. However, the policy and reality of ICT use in higher education are increasingly crucial in the 1st century for enhancing teaching and learning by incorporating digital environment. This paper, based on reviews of secondary data from government and UGC sources, reveals disparities in the practical implementation of these policies. The findings revealed that the government of Nepal has implemented various ICT policies since the 1990s, including the ICT in education Master Plan, Higher Education Policy, Digital Nepal Framework, and NEHEP. All these policies initiatives aim to improve educational quality by integrating ICT into teaching, learning and administrative processes. Despite the implementation of comprehensive policies, significant challenges persist, including inadequate funding, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of teacher training. This paper concludes that there is a need for a coordinated strategy, continuous investment, and robust monitoring to maximize the potential of ICT in higher education in Nepal.
Migration and Education in Ghorahi-12, Dang: A Path to Rural Property Revitalization
Authors: Pokhrel Rajendra Kumar
Published: October 2024

Abstract:
The study identified multiple dynamics of rural to urban migration and aims to analyze the impacts of migration on rural property. Mixed-methods approach is employed to achieve the defined goals. Quantitative data collection and analysis is given priority and then, qualitative data is collected and analyzed to offer comprehensive understanding. The study population of 1470 households comprise total migration from Hapur to Ghorahi has a significant impact on mode of rural property use. Among the migrants, (30.61%) have reported low supply of agricultural work force in rural areas. This results in either selling rural property or leaving it barren. As reported by 6.87 % of respondents, high connectivity among the relatives, friends and local government is well entertained due to migration. A high majority of the migrants, 61.43%, expressed that quality education remained the reason behind migration from Hapur to Ghorahi but the property in Hapur remained neglected due to distance management. Not the expansion of the urban areas, but the transformation of rural to urban accelerates overall development. Education, in this context, can be the comprehensive tool for rural urbanization with strong socio-economic foundation.

O efeito da imagem do endossante na intenção de compra: via mediação da congruência e moderação do produto
Authors:   , Antunes Danilo das Graças Alves
Published: October 2024

This research examines the influence of endorser image language in product advertising on purchase intention. Through an experimental method, manipulation of an endorser's photograph was conducted, transitioning from a portrait language approach to an augmented reality language using MidJourney artificial intelligence and Photoshop software. An online survey with 379 respondents was conducted via the Survey Monkey platform. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS software with Hayes Process Macro Model 7, which incorporates the concept of moderated mediation. Results highlight that the relationship between endorser language and purchase intention is mediated by congruence between the product and the endorser in the advertising announcement. Additionally, this relationship is moderated by the technological nature of the product. We found that the effect of using an endorser with portrait language influences the purchase intention of non-technological products, while for technological products, there is no statistical significance when using an endorser with portrait or augmented reality language

تتناول هذه الدراسة أهمية تعزيز الروح النقدية البناءة لدى المتعلمين من خلال مختلف المرجعيات التربوية والبيداغوجية، التي تتفق عمومًا على ضرورة تمكينهم من بناء شخصياتهم ليصبحوا قادرين على مساءلة المعارف والمعلومات واتخاذ مواقف واعية تجاه الوقائع والأحداث والآراء التي يواجهونها في حياتهم. ومع ذلك، فإن تحقيق هذا الهدف ليس سهلًا، حيث يتطلب التغلب على العديد من التحديات داخل النظام التعليمي، وخاصة في المواد الدراسية مثل مادة الفلسفة.

وتكمن أهمية الفلسفة في قدرتها على تحفيز النشاط الذاتي للمتعلمين وتشجيعهم على ممارسة حرية التأمل والتساؤل النقدي. هذا يتم عبر تفاعل المتعلمين مع مراحل المفهمة، الأشكلة، والمحاجة، وهي اللحظات الأساسية التي تشكل سيرورة التفكير الفلسفي.

This article analyzes the historiography of the ethnopolitical history of the ancient Turkic tribes based on the data of “Shezhire-i Tarakime” by Abulgazi. The works of the outstanding historian of the 17th century Abulgazi are used as the main source: “Shezhire-i Tarakime” and “Shezhire-i Turk”. In his works, Abulgazi describes the history, ethnography, life and economy, culture, and the system of public administration of the Turkic tribes of the Great Steppe from their origin to the 17th century. The proposed study, based on the works of Abulgazi, examines the historiography of the ethnopolitical history of the Turkic tribes, starting from ancient times. It should be taken into account that the formation of the ethnogenesis of the Turkic tribes of the Great Steppe, their first homeland and place of residence, occurs on Kazakh territory. This conclusion undoubtedly increases the importance of studying the history of Kazakhstan in conjunction with the history of the Turkic tribes. Particular attention is paid to the problem of determining the significance of Abilgazi's written data on historical events of the ancient and middle ages. The study allows us to analyze the relationships and interrelations of Turkic tribes, their ethnopolitical processes and assess the influence of these processes on the subsequent development of the history of Kazakhstan

In the article archival statistical data illustrating the mortality of children of female prisoners, as well as chil-dren of civilian workers who were in Karlag in 1941 were analyzed. For a comparative vision of the problem of child mortality in the Gulag in 1941, indicators were presented for two other camps of the Gulag system: Vyatlag and Bureilagu. The general trends and differences in the mortality rate of children of prisoner moth-ers from the mortality rate of civilian children receiving medical care in the structures of the GULAG sanitary service are analyzed. It was concluded that the number of children in the Karlag agricultural camp in 1941 was significantly higher than in the forestry and railway industry camps of the Gulag, while the overall mor-tality rate for children of prisoner mothers was generally lower on average. It was concluded that almost two thirds of the children who died in Karlag in 1941 were children of prisoner mothers. The morbidity rate of children of prisoner mothers in infant homes was significantly higher than the morbidity rate of civilian chil-dren in kindergartens and kindergartens. The peak of morbidity and mortality occurred in Karlag in April 1941.

The study of the consequences of nuclear tests on the territory of Kazakhstan is one of the actual problems of the state. Most of all nuclear tests of the USSR were conducted at the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS). However, the territory of the SNTS is not the only territory of modern Kazakhstan that suffered from nuclear testing during the arms race. Nuclear weapons tests were also conducted in Western Kazakhstan on behalf of the USSR leadership, which led to catastrophic environmental and humanitarian consequences in the region. However, the issue of studying the consequences of the tests in Western Kazakhstan is not widely studied and requires further research. The article explores the history of test sites in Kazakhstan and provides a comparative analysis of the consequences of nuclear tests in Semey and West Kazakhstan based on archival materials. The authors highlight the characteristic features of the consequences of nuclear tests on the territory of the test sites under study. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using its results in foreign and Kazakhstani studies devoted to the study of nuclear testing in Kazakhstan

This paper examines the photographic image analysis methods used in historical research through the lens of two art historical approaches: Abi Warburg's iconological method and Erwin Panofsky's Iconograph-ic/Iconological Analysis. Aby Warburg's iconological method involves analyzing images in context, includ-ing historical, cultural, and emotional aspects. It analyses the symbolic language of images in a broader cul-tural and historical context, beyond stylistic analysis. Erwin Panofsky's Iconographic/Iconological Analysis is an approach that aims to uncover cultural, historical, and symbolic meanings represented in works of art. The method consists of two combined processes: iconography and iconology. Visual data provides a tool to ex-plore the visual aspects of social structures, cultural practices, and historical representations in historical re-search. Have you ever wondered how visual data is analyzed in the humanities? It's not just about the tech-nical aspects of images, but also about their interpretation and contextual significance. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective analysis. Images are complex pieces of visual communication that require a thorough analysis. To achieve this, it is essential to take into account the place of production, intended audi-ence, and location

In the modern world, interest in health products has increased due to increased attention to a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet. However, there is a need to master technologies for the production of health products to preserve the maximum amount of useful substances and use innovative methods of processing raw materials. That is why the purpose of this study was to review and analyse existing technologies for the production of health-improving food products, in particular, with the use of plant raw materials. Scientific and technical literature and regulatory documentation served as materials and methods. A sample of individual periods was created and analysed according to selected indicators, namely the volume of food production, the dynamics of vegetable, fruit, and berry crops, the commodity structure of the wholesale turnover of processed fruits and vegetables, the volume of baby food and dietary food production, the volume of cocoa, chocolate, and sugar confectionery production, and the average daily consumption of basic microand macro-nutrients in certain food products by the population. It was determined that the volume of the health food market for the period 2015-2020 increased by 1.3 trillion USD in value terms, while the range of traditional food products expanded by an average of 2-3% per year. The production of vegetable crops by households in 2021 exceeded the production of enterprises by 6.2 times, in 2020 – 5.5 times and in 2019 – 5.2 times. The production of fruit and berry crops in Ukraine in 2021 was 6.3% more than in 2020, and in 2020 – 8.7% more than in 2019. The dynamics of the average daily intake of protein, fat, iron, niacin, ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, retinol, β-carotene equivalents, retinol and β-carotene (RET+ 1/6 B-CARQ) in food products help to determine the deficit and surplus of macro- and micro-nutrients in the diet of consumers. In general, the use of health food products, including children's and dietary nutrition, is promising and competitive, and the feasibility of using plant-based raw materials in health nutrition and the development of new health products is also confirmed
