The article deals with the connection of family folklore with Ethnography. It is well known that ritual folklore is closely related to Ethnography. First of all, it is the common features in their origin and functions that stand out. These are, of course, visible connections. And if we go deeper, we will see a multi-faceted, very complex root system. After all, the structure of ritual works, methods of depicting reality, content, plot lines, sets of motives, so to speak, the entire system of poetic structure is inextricably linked to the study of rituals, but these relationships have their own laws of relativity. The purpose of this article is to explore these paths. Such Parallels, which in the world of folklore are called "common places", are constantly repeated in different genres in the form of formulas. This is a very important element in the study of folk poetics. This opens up wide opportunities for studying traces of the ancient worldview and mythological consciousness, especially with the help of ethnographic and folklore materials.

This article examines the philosophical debate about pity and compassion, about truth and lies, ideas about man and his essence, about his purpose in the world, presented in the drama "at the bottom". Considering the cave as a sign of primitiveness, the authors compare it with the cave from the famous dialogue of Plato. The article also discusses the motives of dirt, zoomorphic motives, similarities and differences in the views of Luke and Satine, strategies of Satine behavior, and Its evolution. The article deals with the fact that the play is dominated by social conflict. Here the very social circumstances in which the characters live, and the relations between them, become the ground for the birth of philosophical questions. These questions become the core of the philosophical dispute between the characters.

Diary entries are one of the understudied topics in the Kazakh literary science. It is known that many representatives of art, state and public figures make diary entries. However, these works can not be evaluated yet as a genre of literature; it is necessary to analyze their genre, stylistic features within the literary science. In this article the target of research is the diary entries of the talented poet M. Makatayev. The entries of the poet are studied in conjunction with his lyrical poems, and their relationship is established. Also in the article is analyzed the period in which the records were made, the author's mood, and his attitude to the phenomena in the society of that time. The diary entries of the poet are contingently distributed into the thematic groups
HISTORICAL PRINCIPLE OF COGNITION ABAYA'S CREATIVITY
Authors:   Suleyman Demirel University, Almaty, Kazakhstan, Zhumakayeva B.
Published: June 2021

The article emphasizes the importance of the historical principle of knowledge of the works of Abay, the main provisions of which are confirmed by conclusions in the field of Abay research. Although Abai’s life, work, personality, and role in Kazakh literature have been studied extensively, the need to expand the current channel for studying Abay is clearly recognized. New directions in Abay studies are correlated with the interests of an independent country. Most of the research work in the Soviet period did not allow the freedom of speech, thought and views of the poet, the study of the roots. It is not a secret that attempts were made to interpret the political and social activities of Abay in the interests of the Soviet period. It is very important to weigh the "insightful thought" expressed in the verses and words of edification of Abay, to reveal the foundations of his teachings, to follow him as the "cultural capital of our nation" and recognize him as the noble principle of humanity. Therefore, it is important to turn to a historical position to show the conceptual basis of the poet’s heritage.

Published: June 2021

The article tells about the mythical archetypes of Kazakh literature at the beginning of the 20th century, reunited with the new principles of human culture. These works are clearly demonstrated on the basis of the analysis of Abay’s poems “Iskander(Eskendir)”, “Masgut(Masғұt)”, “Conversation of Azim(Әзім әңгімесі)”. The positive influence of ancient Kazakh mythology on the works of that period is analyzed from the point of view of today and such qualities as transformations of the meaning of the word are noted. It is proved that the true novelty in the works of Abay is associated with a new content, moreover, relying on tradition, he became the beginning of a new source.Also, the authors of the article tried to convey to the public that the literary material of the diversity that connects the past of the people with today is the current events and conflicts on the basis of mythological parallels. The differences between the image of Iskander created by Abai, from other eastern dastans and from historical facts are shown. The artistic skill of creating an image from a mythological point of view is separately affected, and based on the poet’s work, results are obtained that prove that a person has good character traits from upbringing and education. Importance is given to the features of using elements of mythical symbolism in Kazakh literature at the beginning of the 20th century.

The article gives a new mathematical-logical method in linguistics. B. Sagyndykovich–the founder of a new mathematical-logical method in the study of etymology. Using a mathematical and logical method, you can establish a clear and precise etymology of the word. However, he noted that on the basis of the "theory of archetypes" we can prove not only the etymology of the word, but also the theory of "the origin of all languages from one language", using the basic vocabulary of some languages. The paper gives the etymology of some native words using this method. From the article, you can see the vulnerability of the comparative-historical method in determining the origin of the word. Moreover, when revealing the etymology of words, you can find almost all the laws and phenomena of the language. In addition, in the disclosure and research of the etymology of the word, etymologists need to know the phonetic, semantic, historical, morphological and geneological principles in a comprehensive manner.

Reviev of modern theoretical methods for the study of environmental consciousness
Authors:   Eurasian National University named after L.N. Gumilyov, Kazakhstan, Tursynbayeva B.Zh.
Published: June 2021

The term «ecological consciousness» is a relatively new concept in modern sociology, social ecology and environmental psychology, as well as in all science. The need to study environmental consciousness arose only in the twentieth century, when the society began the process of understanding the destructive consequences of its life, leading to environmental problems, crises and eventually to a global environmental catastrophe. At this time, there were philosophical, ecological, psychological and sociological studies that sought to understand and explain the interaction in the system «man-society-nature», which led to the formulation of the problem of the formation of ecological consciousness.

Rarefied particle motions on hillslopes – Part 3: Entropy
Authors: Furbish David Jon , Williams Sarah G. W. , Doane Tyler H.
Published: June 2021

Abstract. Theoretical and experimental work (Furbish et al., 2021a, b) indicates that the travel distances of rarefied particle motions on rough hillslope surfaces are described by a generalized Pareto distribution. The form of this distribution varies with the balance between gravitational heating, due to conversion of potential to kinetic energy, and frictional cooling, due to particle–surface collisions; it varies from a bounded form associated with rapid thermal collapse to an exponential form representing isothermal conditions to a heavy-tailed form associated with net heating of particles. The generalized Pareto distribution in this problem is a maximum entropy distribution constrained by a fixed energetic “cost” – the total cumulative energy extracted by collisional friction per unit kinetic energy available during particle motions. That is, among all possible accessible microstates – the many different ways to arrange a great number of particles into distance states where each arrangement satisfies the same fixed total energetic cost – the generalized Pareto distribution represents the most probable arrangement. Because this idea applies equally to the accessible microstates associated with net cooling, isothermal conditions and net heating, the fixed energetic cost provides a unifying interpretation for these distinctive behaviors, including the abrupt transition in the form of the generalized Pareto distribution in crossing isothermal conditions. The analysis therefore represents a novel generalization of an energy-based constraint in using the maximum entropy method to infer non-exponential distributions of particle motions. Moreover, the energetic costs of individual particle motions follow an extreme-value distribution that is heavy-tailed for net cooling and light-tailed for net heating. The relative contribution of different travel distances to the total energetic cost is reflected by the product of the travel distance distribution and the cost of individual particle motions – effectively a frequency–magnitude product.
Effect of carbon on the corrosion behavior of thermally hardened rolled products
Authors: Razdobreev V.G.
Published: June 2021

In this work, we studied the corrosion behavior of hot-rolled and heat-hardened rolled products made of carbon steel with different carbon content in order to select the optimal conditions for its heat treatment to obtain a satisfactory combination of strength and corrosion resistance during the development of processes of general corrosion with hydrogen depolarization. The studies were carried out on samples of carbon steel (0.14-0.8% C) in hot-rolled and heat-hardened states. It has been established that the corrosion rate (K) in specimens made of steels in the quenched state is lower than in the hot-rolled state; however, even in this state, with an increase in the carbon content within the studied limits, it increases 40 times. An increase in the corrosion rate with an increase in the carbon content in hot-rolled steel is explained by an increase in the amount of pearlite and an increase in the length of the ferite-cementite interphase boundaries. It was determined that in quenched hardened steel in the carbon content range from 0.14 to 0.80 % C, an increase in the corrosion rate is apparently due to an increase in microstresses (accumulation of excess internal energy) associated with an increase in the tetragonality of the martensite lattice and the appearance of concentration inhomogeneity in the solid solution. It was found that during the course of corrosion with hydrogen depolarization, the dependences of the general corrosion rate of thermally hardened structural steels on the tempering temperatures are described by extreme dependences with a maximum corrosivity in the temperature range of 350-500 oC, while, with an increase in the carbon content in steel, rental increases. It was determined that at the tempering temperature corresponding to the maximum K, the corrosion rate is 1,5-3,6 times higher than in the quenched state, and 1,4-2,6 times higher than in hot-rolled, and with an increase in the carbon content this difference is growing. An increase in the rate of corrosion with hydrogen depolarization in the tempering temperature range of 350-450 oC is apparently associated with the process of carbide formation and the appearance of coherent stresses during the release of dispersed particles. An increase in corrosion losses in this interval with an increase in carbon content is due to an increase in the volume fraction of fine particles of the carbide phase and an increase in the level of elastic microdistortions of the crystal lattice (Δa/a).
Determination of the maximum permissible cooling rate of railway wheel rims to form a homogeneous structure

Published: June 2021

Compliance with the new more stringent requirements for railway wheels is possible only with an integrated approach to improving their production technology with a reasonable choice of heat treatment modes, taking into account the chemical composition of steel. The purpose of the study is the experimental and analytical determination of the maximum permissible cooling rate of the rolling surface and the minimum required cooling rate of the central sections of the rim of a railway wheel to achieve a high level of hardness of the ferrite-pearlite structure. The studies were carried out on steels of grades ER8 and ER7 according to EN 13262, grade 2 according to GOST 10791: 2016, steel of class C according to AAR M-107 / M-208. Based on the hardenability test (GOST 5657) by the end hardening method (according to the Jomeni method), the distance from the surface from which one-sided cooling was performed, where the hardness met the requirements of the normative documentation for wheels made of the steel under study, the distance where the formation of needle-like structures did not occur, was determined, including bainite and widmanstatt according to the results of metallographic studies and determination of hardness. Based on the results of temperature changes during the cooling process, the cooling rates were determined in places that met the specified conditions. In the work, modeling was applied in the QForm VX 8.2 software package, as a result, a model was developed for the adaptation of which the results of the experiment were used. The high convergence of the results of calculation and experiment was confirmed. At the same time, the model made it possible to obtain the instantaneous cooling rate in a form that is more consistent with the physical meaning of the process and to avoid the scatter of actual values associated with the discreteness of data recording. It was found that the instantaneous cooling rate changes during the continuous uniform supply of the coolant. In some cases, a significant slowdown in cooling was recorded, or even negative values of the instantaneous cooling rate. This is due to the release of the heat of phase transformation, which occurs during the decomposition of austenite by the diffusion mechanism. The developed model can be used to construct thermokinetic diagrams during continuous cooling and to develop recommendations for heat treatment modes to achieve the specified mechanical properties at a certain structural state.
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF FERROUS METALLURGY OF UKRAINE IN THE MEDIUM-TERM AND LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Babachenko A.I. , Tuboltsev L.G.
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the study is to identify current trends in metallurgical technologies, taking into account environmental problems. The world is undergoing major changes in environmental policy, which has become an integral part of industrial policy and international trade. The analysis shows a certain connection between the increase in Earth's temperature and the growth of steel production in the world. Therefore, the Paris Climate Agreement, which was supported by most industrialized countries, is based on the idea of limiting and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by industrial enterprises. On the one hand, industrial emissions undoubtedly affect the ecological state of the environment. On the other hand, a sharp reduction in production emissions significantly increases financial costs. In the world, environmental requirements for metallurgical processes are gaining such a level that threatens the prospects for the development of metallurgy. It is shown that the choice of the optimal path of ecological development requires the search for new solutions to increase the level of implementation of ecological innovations by Ukrainian enterprises. To identify the impact of production technologies of different types of metallurgical products, the method of expert-mathematical evaluation using the Harrington desirability function was used. It is shown that for rolled products the rating means «satisfactory» or «good». The situation with the production of iron ore, pig iron and steel is worse - here a comprehensive assessment shows the value of «unsatisfactory» and «satisfactory». This thesis is confirmed by the fact that investments of ecological orientation of the Ukrainian metallurgical enterprises are now directed on improvement of ecological indicators in the specified directions. Prospects for the development of metallurgy in Ukraine should be associated with the implementation of new technical solutions, in particular those developments that are in the stage of exploratory research and experimental samples. Scientific developments of the Iron and Steel Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving the environmental performance of metallurgical production

Political Micro-Targeting in Kenya: An Analysis of the Legality of Data-Driven Campaign Strategies under the Data Protection Act
Authors: Mude Hashim
Published: June 2021

The 2013 general election marked the entry of data-driven campaigning into Kenyan politics as political parties begun collecting and storing voter data. More sophisticated techniques were deployed in 2017 as politicians retained the services of data analytics firms such as Cambridge Analytica, accused of digital colonialism and undermining democracies. It is alleged that political parties engaged in regular targeting and more intrusive micro-targeting, facilitated by the absence of a data protection legal framework.The promulgation of the Data Protection Act, 2019, ostensibly remedied this gap. This paper analyses whether, and to what extent, political parties can rely on the same–or similar– regular targeting and micro-targeting techniques in subsequent elections. While regular targeting differs from micro-targeting as the latter operates at a more granular level, both comprise of three steps- collecting a voter’s personal data, profiling them, and sending out targeted messages.

This paper considers the legality of each of these steps in turn. It finds that going forward, such practices will likely require the consent of the data subject. However, the Act provides for several exceptions which political parties could abuse to circumvent this requirement. There are also considerable loopholes that allow open access to voter data in the electoral list as well as the personal data of the members of a rival political party. The efficacy of the Data Protection Act will largely rest on whether the Data Protection Commissioner will interpret it progressively and hold political parties to account.

The alarming rate of corporate failures as seen universally has necessitated this study apparently; the failures have known no boundary as it cuts across both the very big organizations and the very small corporate entities especially financial industries. The objective of this study is to align corporate governance (CG) with Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) adoption in the Nigeria Deposit Money banks (DMBs). The study adopted cross-sectional research design, survey method and questionnaire technique to collect data in 21 Nigerian DMBs. A total of 722 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 435 were found usable for further analysis. The research adopted Structural Equation Modeling in Stata for the data analysis. Empirical evidence suggests that internal audit effectiveness, human resource competency and top management commitment were positively significant. This implies that there is a significant positive relationship between CG and ERM adoption. Conclusively, the study has provided insightful results for the banking industry, regulators, practitioners and academia that will potentially assist in policy formulation, implementation and evaluation. Thus, a clarion calls for all the stakeholders in the industry to guarantee broad implementation of ERM in all the banks in compliance with the CBN Code of corporate governance.

This paper focuses on environmental disclosure on the Internet and empirically examines whether ownership structure and company characteristics have a significant association with the level of Internet environmental disclosure (IED) amongst Malaysian companies. Six variables – management ownership, government ownership, firm size, level of technology, industry type, and profitability – have been chosen to be examined in this study. Multiple regression analysis is used to examine these relationships by analysing the data of 201 online annual reports on the websites of Malaysian companies. The results indicate that government ownership, firm size, level of technology and industry type are positively and significantly associated with IED; management ownership is negatively and significantly associated with IED, and profitability did not show a significant relationship. The results of this paper can be used by regulators to enhance and regulate online environmental reports as it is still voluntary based.
Accounting Regulation and Financial Reporting Quality: Pre-and-Post IFRS Nigeria Evidence
Authors: Jehu Philip , Ibrahim Mohammad Azhar
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine whether accounting regulation is associated with financial reporting quality in Nigeria. Using accrual-based earnings management construct – abnormal accruals as a proxy for financial reporting quality, the study found some significant variation in abnormal accruals with the implementation of International financial reporting standards (IFRS) to regulate accounting practice. Similarly, the research found that the control variables - firm size, leverage, and return on asset have significant effects on financial reporting quality. This study is found to be consistent with previous studies indicating the effectiveness of IFRS adoption in improving financial reporting quality. The study also contributes to the discussion on IFRS adoption across reporting environments. Regulatory agencies in Nigeria might need to consider the combined effect of other corporate governance laws to ensure quality reporting. The study is limited by our sample (2009 - 2014), and by the proxies for both accounting regulation and financial reporting quality, the data of which was in most part handpicked. Future research might consider testing the combined effect of other corporate governance variables like audit committees and board characteristics.
Examining AIS Software and Co-operative Performance in Malaysia
Authors: Harun Rasit Mohd Hadzrami , Ibrahim Mohammad Azhar
Published: June 2021

Accounting information systems (AIS) is essential to process business data into useful information. Indeed, empirical evidence suggested that the use of AIS has a positive impact on firm performance. Previous studies were concentrating on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and public listed companies leaving a gap in the co-operative literature. Furthermore, the users of different types of AIS software that contribute towards improving the firm performance were not adequately explored. As such, this paper draws on the resource-based view (RBV) to examine the gap issue. Using mail questionnaire survey, data were collected from 120 co-operatives. Findings from this study suggest that commercial and developed-in-house AIS software are mostly used by co-operatives. Also, the findings suggest that co-operatives performance is not associated with the types of AIS software used by the co-operatives. This study provides valuable insights into the implementation of AIS among Malaysian co-operatives, which has received little attention thus far from academic, governmental and professional bodies.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between market liquidity and the determinants of Sukuk in Malaysia’s perspective. This study is also to determine whether the Sukuk market is also reacting as similar to the bond market regarding market liquidity. A sample of 933 issued Sukuk in Malaysia is collected from secondary data of Bond Pricing of Agency Malaysia (BPAM) and Bond Info hub of Bank Negara Malaysia from the period of 2005 to 2015. The sample of issued Sukuk is based on Malaysian Ringgit denominated currency and these Sukuk are actively traded in the secondary market of Malaysia. The sample comprises five (5) sectors inclusive government, quasi-government, finance; Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) and corporates. Market Microstructure Theory is using on the impact of numerous market frictions in the market structure and individual behaviour during the price determination process in this study. The empirical results of this study show that age and maturity have a positive relationship with Sukuk market liquidity and they are significantly correlated. The findings of this study could assist investors in the making decision by choosing the right type of Sukuk structure and by utilising the suitable Sukuk determinants at the right time. From the analysis, the researcher concludes that investors prefer to hold their securities until meeting its maturity rather than traded it in the secondary market. Further research should be done by incorporating other liquidity factors such as the liquidity risk, yield spread and price in order to have more input to the study on liquidity since the Sukuk market is increasing in demand and becomes more sophisticated as the financial market is moving towards digitalisation and electrification.

The role of Islamic financial intuitions is essential in providing Islamic financing specifically to investors and stakeholders to invest in real estate. Therefore, understanding the link of the real estate cycle to the financial institutions is crucial. This is because the real estate cycle is one of the critical elements that will affect financing decisions and strategies of the banking sectors. Hence, this paper employed meta-analysis which aims (1) to systematically review survey the growing literature on real estate cycle and its links to the financial institutions; (2) to highlight possible cross-country trend analysis financial strategy among investors in dealing in with the real estate cycle. The results of the study suggest that during the peak cycle or period of crisis, most investors are risk-averse and increase the risk to the financing of real estate as well. This real estate cycle that occurs almost every 10 years in conventional real estate sectors also give some consequences to the Islamic financial institutions. This paper suggests to investors to understand the real estate cycle and its impact on Islamic financial institutions.

Authors: Dembo Abubakar M.
Published: June 2021

This study centres on the investigation of the level of compliance with the Nigerian Corporate Governance Code's recommendations by the six selected oil companies from 2004 to 2012. Two stages of compliance level with the Corporate Governance Disclosure Index (CGDI) were developed from 43 specific corporate governance issues based on the Nigerian Code's provisions and analysed. Firstly, the study demonstrates the degree of compliance with the CGDI for the selected companies over the survey period (2004-2012). This allows the testing of the continuous progress of the level of conformity with the Nigerian Code's provisions. Second, it measures the level of compliance with the CGDI that existed over the 2004-2009 and 2010-2012 periods respectively. The motive is to find out whether the level of compliance with corporate governance has increased over the two periods since the creation of the Nigerian Code in late 2003. The findings indicate a remarkable improvement with the compliance with the Nigerian Code over the periods by the selected companies.
