Authors: Kasbayeva Gulnaz , Mamyrbekova Assiya , Tairova Bagila
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The object of this research is the managerial culture in the museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study considers a management culture in museums on a large scale, as museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan are a part of the world culture and their development occurs not in self-isolation from the world, but in this world, though in time of experiencing economic and political crises, and in time of a pandemic.

Purpose. The paper examines the general history of museum development in Kazakhstan, management culture, and management itself. The management culture is shown from ethical and practical sides. The study demonstrates management as a new strategy of museum management in the modern world. The basic work of museums and their reaction to challenges of the modern world is also briefly shown, i.e., the new role of museums in the modern world is considered.

Methodology. The desk research method was used: analysis of modern research of the last three years on the museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan, management culture and management in museums.

Results/Conclusions. The article concludes that museums, despite their conservatism, can respond to the challenges of the time and adapt to the needs of society. Moreover, the culture of management in museums is changing in order to dictate to society what is relevant and interesting, rather than passively fulfilling its demands. The management culture dictates to museum workers new approaches to effective museum management, and the museum has become not only a centre of history and culture preservation but also an active centre of public education.

Authors: Jarylkapova Sandugash , Aidarbayeva Doktorkhan , Zhumagulova Kalampyr
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The relevance of the research is conditioned upon the active use of personal experience of students in the implementation of the process of teaching local history work in biology lessons, based on the development of methods of research activity in a secondary school.

Purpose. The value of scientific knowledge, the need to increase the role of science in the education of schoolchildren are associated with the need to achieve cognitive independence of the individual and the organisation of a personality-oriented learning system.

Methodology. There is a fact that the methodology of teaching biology, to date, does not sufficiently reflect the ways of developing research skills in the independent local history work of students. It is also necessary to develop a scientific and methodological approach to the development of research skills and skills acquired in biology lessons. This article describes an experiment in which a survey of biology teachers of grades 5-7 was carried out using a questionnaire. Among the theoretical research methods were used: analysis and synthesis of historical and cultural, psychological and pedagogical, methodological literature, abstraction and generalisation, study of normative documents on the problem of research.

Results. The results of the experiment in this article showed that for this the teacher needs free time, where he will be able to independently solve the issues of interest to him for creative development. Such a process of introducing new educational standards into the education system is of particular relevance for the development of students' research skills in organising independent local history work in biology, which in turn requires teachers to have a high level of training.

Authors: Smagulova Aigerm , Tusupova Alma , Orazbekova Zeine , Kongyrbayeva Gulnaz , Issayeva Aigul
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The relevance of the study is that the subject of Kazakhstan can be traced in the history of minor literary genres through the prism of the relationship between English and Kazakh literature, which is most often manifested in the genres of ideological enlightenment and travel. English researchers have published numerous reference books and encyclopedias on the geography, anthropology, and ethnography of the peoples of Asia. The English works of the 19th century contain a large amount of information about the Kazakhs, who at that time lived in Germany, France, England, and other countries. One of the important sources of the subject of Kazakhstan is the corresponding essays and diaries presented in the journals of English literary critics.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to consider artistic materials that reflect the subject of Kazakhstan in English interpretation.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study consisted of the following approaches: historical, retrospective, and systemic.

Results. Foreign travellers who visited the steppe lands often wrote travel notes and letters under the impressions, in which they characterised the spiritual, traditional, and everyday creativity of the peoples of those areas, introducing the inhabitants of Europe to the preserved way of life of a distant land located on the territory of the modern Republic of Kazakhstan. Since with the advancement of maritime and economic aspects, the activity in the discovery and development of unexplored countries for the purpose of trade has increased. English merchants of that time actively used the routes through Asia for expeditions, which further expanded trade relations. Kazakh-Anglo-American literary ties in the last century are one of the important facets of the spiritual culture of the people of Kazakhstan.

Conclusions. The practical value lies in highlighting the main subjects and materials of the Kazakh people in English minor literary genres.

Published: May 2024

Hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is a rare photodermatoses with the most frequent onset in childhood. The exact pathogenesis of HV is still not known. This disease is a spectrum with almost similar clinical symptoms, but with a very different prognosis. Classic HV has the best prognosis, but affects the quality of life due to scar formation, while hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoma (HVLL) is the variant with the worst prognosis. HV needs to be considered as a differential diagnosis, especially in childhood-onset photodermatoses. Classical HV must be distinguishes from hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoproliferative disorders (HVLPD) because it is related to prognosis. There is still no consensus or guidelines on diagnosis and management for HV.
Factors influencing consumer willingness to pay for rabbit meat in the Daveyton and Etwatwa areas of Gauteng province, South Africa
Authors: Noinoi Lekgau Jenifer , Leonah Mthombeni Danisile , Akwasi Antwi Michael
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study was to determine the price point at which customers in the study locations are willing to pay for rabbit meat. The data was gathered by administering a semi-structured questionnaire through face-to-face interviews with a randomly selected sample of 382 respondents. The acquired data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), specifically version 28.0. The researchers utilized the contingent valuation approach to ascertain the consumers' willingness to pay (WTP). The results showed that 83% of the respondents were prepared to pay for rabbit meat if their local meat outlet introduced it. About 43.7% of the respondents rejected the initial bid of R45/kg but accepted the discounted bids; 21% of the respondents accepted both the initial and discounted bids; 16.5% of the respondents only accepted the initial bid; and 18.6% of the respondents rejected both the initial and discounted bids. Furthermore, the results revealed that as monthly income increases, so does the respondents’ willingness to pay for rabbit meat. Although respondents showed interest in the purchasing and consumption of rabbit meat, they were not willing to buy the meat at a price of more than R40/kg. This indicates that when the seller introduces the meat to the local meat market in the study areas, they should be price-conscious.
