Discurso de sucesso contemporâneo na capitalização dos sujeitos
Authors: Barbosa Soares Thiago
Published: October 2023

O sucesso não é um mero item lexical. O sucesso alimenta e fomenta um enorme mercado capilarizado pela grande mídia e pela literatura de autoajuda. Em cada âmbito de atuação o discurso do sucesso parece desenvolver recursos para se perpetuar. Um desses refere-se aos sentidos atribuídos ao sucesso, enquanto outro se liga a criação de condições idealizadas de produção na qual se encontraram em difusão de efeitos. Visando analisar os mecanismos de constituição da repercussão do sucesso na mídia e na literatura de autoajuda, escolhemos aleatoriamente três obras: "Além do topo: o sucesso e sua felicidade não têm limites" (2011), "O sucesso ao seu alcance" (2010) e "Manual do sucesso total" (2000). Para tanto, empregaremos o aparato conceitual e metodológico da Análise do discurso derivada dos trabalhos de Michel Pêcheux, objetivando problematizar e compreender, a partir do cotejamento dos resultados obtidos nas análises, os discursos de capitalização do sucesso. Como resultado, compreendeu-se o sucesso como um fenômeno discursivo e, consequentemente, social não restrito à mídia; vimos que o sucesso tem uma gramática mais ou menos própria que lhe vincula a um campo no qual é disseminado. A literatura de autoajuda possui características distintas da mídia do sucesso; em cada qual o sucesso é descrito de um modo, criando uma formação discursiva, ao mesmo tempo em que instaura a formação ideológica de mercado de sucesso.
O estudo dos gêneros do discurso a partir do método sociológico
Authors: Meneghete Vaz Alex , Montrezol Diniz Ana Caroline , Corrêa da Rosa Douglas
Published: October 2023

Como estudiosos da linguagem e professores de língua portuguesa, interessa-nos um trabalho com a língua viva e concreta. Isso requer que os gêneros do discurso/discursivos sejam analisados a partir de uma ordem metodológica sociológica, tal como explicitada por Volóchinov (2018). Nessa perspectiva, faz-se necessário considerar a dimensão social (extraverbal) e verbal dos gêneros, além de seus elementos constituintes indissociáveis – o conteúdo temático (tema), a construção composicional e o estilo dos textos-enunciados –, os quais, unidos, produzem os sentidos do texto. A fim de que os conceitos mencionados sejam melhor compreendidos, realizamos uma análise com base em um texto-enunciado concreto, um exemplar do gênero tira/tirinha, entrelaçando a reflexões teóricas de autores como Bakhtin (2003, 2016), Volóchinov (2018, 2019), Faraco, Castro e Tezza (2007), Brait (2018a, 2018b), Brait e Amorim (2020), Sobral (2009), entre outros, trazidos aqui para nos auxiliarem nas análises do texto-enunciado utilizado como exemplo para nossa investigação por meio do método sociológico e, principalmente, sócio-histórico, como propõe Bakhtin. Com base no estudo realizado, fica evidente que os elementos que constituem o gênero estão entrelaçados e que a significação de fato só é possível se considerada a parte não verbalizada e a verbalizada do texto-enunciado.
Representação Histórica: uma análise do registro memorial de Xica da Silva na obra documental de Joaquim Felício Dos Santos
Authors: Estevão da Silva Ester , Amorim José Edilson de
Published: October 2023

O presente artigo descreve e problematiza a representação memorialista da figura histórica Francisca da Silva de Oliveira na obra Memórias do Distrito Diamantino da Comarca de Serro Frio (1868), de Joaquim Felício dos Santos. A partir de uma revisão bibliográfica que abarca discussões sobre a veracidade histórica dos acontecimentos registrados na historiografia oficial e a formulação das representações na História, objetivamos compreender  como a representação de Xica da Silva, ao advir de construções discursivas e sociais, reflete e propaga os significados existentes no imaginário sócio-histórico brasileiro sobre mulheres negras. Para tanto, fundamentamos esta pesquisa em teóricos como Bakhtin e Voloshinov (2006), Pesavento (1995 ; 2012), Achard, Furtado (2003), Car (1996), Chartier (2002), Hall (2016), Le Goff (1990), Ricoeur (1994; 2007), Thompson (1998), entre outros.  Com esta investigação constatamos como a formulação de respectiva personagem afro-brasileira, verificada na obra, evidencia as correntes de opinião, ideologias e movimentos sociais existentes em torno da raça negra, as quais, difundidas pelo discurso autoral, são tomadas como versão oficial dos acontecimentos e, consequentemente, como “verdades históricas”.
High yielding cows metabolism peculiarities under climate change conditions with the use of feed additive with protein protected from rumen degradation
Authors: Sediuk Igor , Prusova Halyna , Tkachov Anatoliy , Petrash Victoria , Tkachova Iryna
Published: October 2023

The research relevance is determined by the problem of thermal load on the body of dairy cows by increasing the content of protein protected from breakdown in the rumen. The research aims to determine the metabolism and level of delivery of various forms of protein and energy to the body of highly productive cows in the diets of cows in the second half of lactation under conditions of climate change. Research methods include zootechnical (assessment of feed intake, rationing, selection of groups, organisation of the experiment, determination of milk production), biochemical (determination of the content of basic nutrients in feed, milk quality indicators), statistical, and mathematical. The compensation of protein in the diet of high-yielding cows under climate change conditions was carried out using the protein feed additive TEP-mix with protein protected from rumen breakdown. It has been proven that its inclusion in the cow’s diet can increase average daily milk production by 9.1% in the cold season (0-10°C) and by 28.0% in the summer (21-36.4°C). In addition, the fat and protein content in milk increased in cows receiving the high-protein feed additive TEP mix. It was found that the increase in protein nutrition of cows from 23.18% to 33.53% with the use of the feed additive TEP-mix with protein protected from scar breakdown ensures a reduction in the impact of climate change on the metabolism of dairy cows. Thus, it has been proved that the use of specific protein feed sources that regulate the level of non-cutting protein in the diet can be considered a factor in combating heat stress and increasing milk production of dairy cows throughout the physiological cycle of lactation, including in extreme conditions of high temperatures

Published: October 2023

Violation of the main technological parameters of keeping and feeding poultry is the main factor in reducing egg productivity and health in the industrial production system. Therefore, the research aims to determine biochemical markers in acute technological stress caused by factors of various etiologies. In this study, serum biochemical parameters were evaluated for the effects of stimuli in egg-laying chickens. The study was conducted on several Hy-Line W-36 cross chickens in the conditions of a production line. Four groups of chickens (101 heads each) aged 52 weeks were formed to conduct the study. The control group was formed from 10 representatives of each of the groups. Further, each group was exposed to a corresponding technological stimulus. Birds of group 2 were not fed for 24 hours, those of group 3 were kept in a darkened place, and 60 additional birds were placed in a cage with the chickens of group 4. The highest effect on the dynamics of biochemical parameters was an increase in their concentration by 1 m2 cage space. The studies identified a substantial increase in the concentration of glucose and creatinine in the blood serum of chickens during over-compaction – by 24-28% (p<0.05) compared to the control group, regardless of the cause of the stressful situation, all birds exposed to acute stress had an increase in these indicators in the blood serum. The main part of the examined enzymes, such as aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase, tended to increase their activity depending on the strength of the influence of the technological factor on the body of birds. Dynamic characteristics of glucose and creatinine levels were distinguished among the examined biochemical parameters by rapid and differentiated reactions within the physiological norm, and considering the simplicity of their determination, they may have prospects of becoming the main markers of early diagnosis of stress in industrial poultry farming

Traditional and Social Media Metrics
Authors: Zheng So Wei , Yee Tiong Ho , Gauhar Vineet , Castellani Daniele , Teoh Jeremy Yuen-Chun
Published: October 2023

IntroductionThe growing adoption of social media (SoMe) by the scientific
community has cemented the role of SoMe in information dissemination and engagement of
academic work. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between
traditional and alternative SoMe metrics of urology journals.MethodsUrology journals
listed on the SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR) electronic portal were selected
and data pertaining to traditional metrics were collected. Official SoMe platforms of
eligible journals were identified and indicators of online activity were recorded.
Correlations between traditional metrics (SJR, h-index, and Scopus CiteScore) and social
metrics were performed via Spearman rank-order correlation.ResultsOf 107 journals, 54.2%
of journals had at least one form of SoMe presence. The median SJR (0.535 versus 0.334,
P = 0.005), h-index (34 versus 20, P = 0.001), and Scopus CiteScore (3.25 versus 2.20, P
= 0.014) were significantly higher among journals with SoMe networks. All 3 traditional
indicators demonstrated strong global correlations with various Twitter-based metrics
(rs = 0.428 to 0.571). In particular, SoMe journals with more than 3000 citations in the
previous 3 years also displayed very strong correlations between all 3 traditional
metrics and alternative social metrics (rs = 0.714 to 0.821).ConclusionsJournals with
SoMe presence had significantly higher traditional metric values (SJR, h-index, and
CiteScore) compared to journals without SoMe presence. Strong, positive correlations
between citation-based and alternative social metrics were also observed. Alternative
social metrics may be harnessed as supplemental indicators of a journal’s scientific
impact.

Tips and Pitfalls in Using Social Media Platforms for Survey Dissemination
Authors: Ong William Lay Keat , Gauhar Vineet , Castellani Daniele , Teoh Jeremy Y.C.
Published: October 2023

IntroductionSocial media has become a prevalent platform for survey dissemination,
despite the paucity of literature on this topic. The purpose of this paper is to outline
the benefits and drawbacks of and best practices for social media-based
surveys.MethodsWe performed a scoping review of this topic and explored different
strategies commonly employed for conducting efficient health care surveys via social
media platforms.ResultsThe main advantages of social media-based surveys are the
convenience and flexibility of survey design, their relatively low cost, the anonymity
of responders, and the ability to reach a broader population of responders across
geographical boundaries. Several measures can be adopted to avoid issues inherent in
this approach, such as data disruption and response duplication, as well as to enhance
ethical behaviors and consent compliance. We discuss limitations associated with unclear
distribution of survey respondents and outline survey fraud as a major impediment to the
online propagation of surveys on various social media platforms.DiscussionThe use of
social media to disseminate surveys on various medical specialty topics has garnered
global participation, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethical codes of
conduct emphasize the need for professionalism and truthfulness, and disclosure of
potential conflicts of interest on the part of respondents, and high-quality survey
research on the part of researchers.ConclusionWe advocate for the novel use of social
media to promote large and diverse health care surveys. Additional studies should
further explore the use of emerging social media platforms for survey dissemination and
their impact on health care research.

Published: October 2023

Social media can improve patient education but may pose risks due to
misinformation. There is no consensus on categorizing types of misinformation and harm.
This study aimed to categorize and quantify misinformation and resultant harm from posts
on YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram on pelvic organ prolapse (POP), a prevalent benign
condition that impacts quality of life. We conducted a descriptive study of 300 posts
presented in these platforms in 2019. Using Fisher exact test, we show a significant
difference in the distribution of misinformation between social media platforms. Harmful
posts were most frequently present on Pinterest, leading to harmful inaction and
economic harm.

Published: October 2023

Crowdfunding involves obtaining financial support for a project through public
engagement. It is a form of crowdsourcing, where monetary and non-monetary contributions
from the public are obtained for a common aim. Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular
way of gaining additional monetary support for medical research projects and may act as
a supplement to conventional funding. Social media can influence which projects are
likely to be successful. Engagement on social media can increase the funding obtained.
In this brief communication, we introduce the concept of crowdfunding, give practical
applications, and describe the characteristics of successful campaigns.
Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews for Questions of Therapy and
Prevention Published in the Urological Literature (2016–2021) Fails to Improve
Authors: Ding Maylynn , Johnson Jared , Ergun Onuralp , Alvez Gustavo Ariel , Dahm Philipp
Published: October 2023

ObjectivesPrior studies have suggested that few systematic reviews (SRs) published
in the urological literature provide reliable evidence. We performed this study to
provide a longitudinal analysis of the methodological quality of SRs published in 5
major urology journals over a 6-year period (2016–2021).MethodsAs an extension of a
prior study with a written a priori protocol, we systematically searched and analyzed
all SRs related to questions of therapy or prevention published in the 5 major urology
journals. Three independent reviewers working in pairs selected eligible studies and
abstracted the data in duplicate. We used the updated Assessment of Multiple Systematic
Reviews (AMSTAR-2) instrument to assess SR quality. We performed pre-planned statistical
hypothesis testing by time period and journal of publication in SPSS Version
27.0.ResultsOur updated search (2019–2021) identified 563 references of which 114
ultimately met inclusion criteria, which we added to the database of the prior 144
studies (2016–2018). Overall, among 258 SRs, only 6 (2.3%) and 9 SRs (3.5%), achieved a
“high” (no critical weakness; up to one non-critical weakness) or “moderate” (no
critical weakness; more than one non-critical weakness) confidence rating, respectively.
Most SRs published had very low confidence rating (195; 75.6%). The proportion of
studies with a high or moderate rating (6.1% versus 4.9%; P = 0.481) did not increase
over time.ConclusionsMost SRs published in the urological literature continue to have
serious methodological limitations and should not be relied upon. There is a critical
need for greater awareness for established methodological standards.
The Clinical Frailty Scale as a Predictor of Trial of Void Outcomes in Men
Undergoing Transurethral Resection of Prostate Surgery
Authors: Zhuo Kevin Yinkit , Quah Samantha Li Wen , Garcia Cindy , Leung Ki Ying , Chung Amanda
Published: October 2023

BackgroundWith the growing elderly population, there is an increasing prevalence
of frail patients undergoing surgeries. A common operation in this group is the
transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic
hyperplasia. Whilst there is a demonstrable link between frailty and general adverse
postoperative outcomes, there is limited research on frailty and trial of void (TOV)
outcomes post TURP.This study aims to investigate possible associations between frailty,
TOV outcomes, and postoperative complications following a TURP.MethodsA retrospective
review was conducted of adult patients treated with TURP at 2 hospitals from January
2018 to December 2019, inclusive. Patient demographic data, preoperative Clinical
Frailty Scale scores, trial of void outcomes, and complications were recorded and
analysed. Clinical frailty scores (CFS) were recorded in accordance with the Dalhousie
University Clinical Frailty Scale, ranging from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally
ill).ResultsA total of 226 patients (median age 70.5 years) were identified for this
study. Of these patients, 59 were identified as having a CFS of 1 to 2 (Group A), 140
patients had a CFS of 3 to 4 (Group B), and 27 patients had a CFS of 5 to 7 (Group C).
Within the initial TOV, Group C had a statistically significant difference in failure
rates compared with the other 2 groups, with Group C having the highest failure rate of
33.3% (9/27), followed by Group B with 14.3% (20/140), and then Group A with 13.6 %
(8/59) (P = 0.04).ConclusionIn conclusion, greater preoperative frailty is associated
with higher rates of initial TOV failure in post-TURP patients. Early objective
identification of elderly patients with increased frailty is useful to help preoperative
counselling and decision-making, to manage patient postoperative expectations, and to
optimise patient care.
Circuito cerrado con llave de tres vías para la infiltración de anestesia y tumescencia en cirugía capilar
Authors: Guerrero Roldán María José , Arencibia Pérez Ney
Published: October 2023

Introducción. El uso de cubetas médicas en cirugía capilar destinado a preparar la anestesia y tumescencia es una práctica habitual realizada en España. La recarga de jeringas desde la cubeta puede ser realizada por el propio cirujano o por un técnico capilar; en ambos casos parece haber un elevado riesgo de pinchazo accidental debido a la manipulación de la aguja. En nuestra práctica habitual hemos implementado un método alternativo de infiltración de anestesia y tumescencia mediante un circuito cerrado con llave de tres vías (IATCC3V), que evita la manipulación de la aguja. El objetivo es presentar y demostrar que esta técnica es más segura que el empleo de cubetas para cargar el anestésico. Material y método. Se ha realizado una encuesta a 21 técnicos capilares en España para constatar si el uso de cubetas médicas es una práctica existente actualmente, y si esta va asociada a pinchazos accidentales. Resultados. El 71,4% de los que respondieron la encuesta tenían 5 o más años de experiencia en trasplante capilar; el 95,2% realizaban recargas de jeringas desde una cubeta durante el proceso de infiltración de anestesia o tumescencia. El 71,4% refirieron haber sufrido al menos un accidente laboral por pinchazo de aguja usando cubetas médicas; de estos, el 53,3% sufrieron dos o más pinchazos. Conclusiones. La IATCC3V es una técnica más segura que el uso de cubetas para evitar pinchazos accidentales. Por este motivo, no recomendamos el uso de cubetas médicas para la administración de anestesia y tumescencia durante la cirugía capilar.

Published: October 2023

Information and communication technology in agriculture provides solutions to agricultural challenges. The study was conducted in Athani taluk of Belagavi District in Karnataka state during 2020-21. ‘Before-After’ without control group experimental design was used to determine the effectiveness of video on knowledge gain regarding sugarcane cultivation practices among farmers. Video developed on “Sugarcane cultivation practices” was the subject matter selected for the study and tested for their effectiveness and acted as treatment for the study. 50 Sugarcane growers were selected for the treatment randomly. The results revealed that highest mean difference 3.72 was observed in case of integrated disease management, followed by integrated pest management (3.62) and weed management (2.38). The farming experience, land holding, achievement motivation, risk orientation, scientific orientation and cosmopoliteness were found to be positive and significantly related with knowledge gain. Therefore, efforts should be taken up to disseminate knowledge about recommended scientific farming practices by using information and communication technology tools especially video to educate farmers and thereby maximizing their benefits. Hence “Video” might be helpful for making the ‘sugarcane grower’ into ‘resource rich farmers’

Published: October 2023

The study was conducted during 2022-23 to assess the level of food insecurity and income status among farm households. Data from 474 farmers through personal interview method were collected. Agriculture was the primary occupation for most households followed by off-farm activities. Average per capita annual income (Rs. 1,00,073) was lower than the national average. The per capita annual income was Rs. 73,303, Rs. 93,256 and Rs. 1,44,456 for marginal, small, and medium farmers, respectively. About 47 per cent of the expenditure was made on consumption. A comparison of calorie intake to recommended calorie intake indicated that food insecurity was prevailing among 26 percent of the farmers. The major contribution to calorie intake was from cereals, the consumption of vegetables and fruits was low. A decision tree model using machine learning algorithms was used to identify the factors influencing food security. Per capita income, family size, consumption expenditure, social participation, and land holdings had significant importance in classifying the households as food secure and insecure. Diversifying farm activities and creating additional opportunities in rural areas, teaching households about balanced diets, promoting home gardening, and institutional policies to improve food security may be the strategic points.

Published: October 2023

An assessment of Household Food and Nutritional Security (HFNS) is important to understand the nutritional state of a household. There are various techniques available for measuring it but they are all in scattered form, making the study tedious. Present research carried out during 2022-23 was aimed at constructing a composite HFNS index that would aid in amalgamating the different techniques to holistically study the HFNS. Initially, four dimensions and 48 indicators were identified and subjected to relevancy testing through judges’ opinions which resulted in the selection of 32 indicators. A questionnaire with finalized indicators was administered to 60 households in the non-sampling area. The test retest and split-half method was followed for testing the reliability of the tool and the reliability co-efficient was 0.84 and 0.87, respectively. Content validity and statistical validity were used to confirm the validity of the tool which was 0.96. The developed tool finally consisted of four dimensions and 32 indicators which are reliable and can produce consistent results while assessing the food and nutritional security of rural households.

A study was conducted to determine the propensity of livestock farmers to adopt ICTs in the Barnala district of Punjab, India. The convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 livestock farmers from all three blocks of the Barnala district and the data was collected from respondent livestock farmers via direct interview using a pre-formulated schedule. Livestock farmers were using ICT (GADVASU apps) to enhance their farm income. The commonly used ICT tools were mobile phones, Internet browsing, newspapers, and television. The use of ICT (GADVASU apps) by livestock farmers was effective as it contributed to enhancing livestock productivity. Socio-economic and institutional factors significantly influenced the use and adoption of ICTs by livestock farmers. Tobit analysis results indicated that age, education level, herd size, and participation in extension activities were significant (p<0.1) determining factors influencing the adoption of ICTs. Farmers have small herd sizes, little experience using ICT, and higher education levels. Adoption of ICTs (GADVASU apps) may be sustainable among livestock farmers if the extension agencies prioritise developing strategies and programmes to educate farmers. The government also subsidises farmers so that they can purchase data and ICT tools.
Diseño robusto de un observador de perturbaciones con saturaciones: Aplicación al control de regulación de la glucosa en pacientes con diabetes tipo 1
Authors: Alazki Hussain , Cortés-Vega David , García Pedro
Published: October 2023

La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 requiere de un estricto control en la administración de insulina para evitar consecuencias graves derivadas de la hiperglucemia y la hipoglucemia. El concepto de páncreas artificial permite la automatización en el tratamiento de pacientes con esta enfermedad, sin embargo, requiere de algoritmos de control capaces de operar eficientemente para mantener la concentración de glucosa en la sangre en niveles apropiados. Estos niveles apropiados en conjunto con el hecho de que el controlador no puede eliminar insulina del sistema nos indican que la salida y la entrada se encuentran acotadas, lo cual es considerado en el diseño del controlador para mejorar su desempeño. Debido a la presencia de incertidumbres y perturbaciones externas se propone el uso de un controlador robusto basado en un observador de estados extendidos generalizado (EGESO) que asegure una operación eficiente que evite episodios de hiperglucemia e hipoglucemia. Con el uso del EGESO se pueden estimar tanto los estados del sistema como las perturbaciones, lo cual elimina la necesidad de conocer información sobre las horas de ingesta, así como las cantidades a ingerir. La estabilidad del sistema de control propuesto es asegurada mediante el método del elipsoide atractivo y la solución de un problema de optimización basado en desigualdades matriciales bilineales (BMI).

The electrochemical behavior of an AA7050-316SS galvanic couple in chromate-containing NaCl environments under relatively constant thick electrolyte films and wet-dry cycling was investigated utilizing the coupled microelectrode array (CMEA) approach. The CMEA approach provided a means to analyze the in situ electrochemical kinetics as a function of spatial location and time. In inhibitor-free environments, the total net anodic charge associated with galvanic current increased with increasing conductivity and aggressiveness of the environment. The AA7050 electrodes supplied more than half of the total net cathodic charge in relation to the 316SS (316 stainless steel) electrodes in the more aggressive environments. Under thick electrolyte films, chromate became less effective at suppressing cathodic kinetics on the 316SS and AA7050 net cathodes as the chloride concentration increased. Under wet-dry cycling conditions, the effectiveness of chromate was diminished when compared to thick electrolyte film conditions, due to the cycling of the equilibrium chloride concentration as electrolyte thickness changed upon onset of drying and wetting while the loading density of the salt remained constant. Furthermore, chromate exhibited a diminished ability to suppress cathodic currents on the AA7050 net cathodes in comparison to the 316SS electrodes. This study highlighted the importance of Cu-rich intermetallic particles and replated Cu on precipitation-strengthened Al alloys when considering the driving force of cathodes in sustaining anodic dissolution in typical Al alloy macro-galvanic systems exposed to atmospheric conditions.

Choosing appropriate bypass conduits is important in the consideration of long-term outcomes after surgical revascularization. When deciding on a grafting strategy, attention should be given to technical, anatomic, and angiographic determinants of conduit properties, as well as the clinical characteristics of the patient. The aim of the study was to present a current review of available choices of conduits in coronary artery bypass surgery. To date, only 4 conduits have proven to be effective: the saphenous vein (SVG), the internal mammary arteries (IMAs), the radial artery (RA), and the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA). The IMA has unique biological properties that confer protection to intimal growth and atherosclerotic plaque formation, making it the conduit of choice for coronary artery bypass grafting. SVG exhibits a lower patency rate than those of IMAs. The RGEA allows revascularization of the inferior wall but is less commonly used, given that it is more prone to spasms.

The purpose of this work is to study the impact of demographic and socio-economic factors affecting the level of poverty in the regions of Kazakhstan. The research examined the regions of Atyrau, Turkestan, Mangystau, and Akmola regions, where the poverty rate is higher than the average for Kazakhstan. The main factors influencing poverty are divided into four groups: economic, demographic, social and geographical. The current study focuses on the analysis of the general dynamics of poverty in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Accordingly, the study aims to examine the impact of three factors (economic, demographic and social) on absolute poverty. The period under review included ten years, 2011-2021. Five hypotheses were put forward. The SPSS program was used for data analysis, and a correlation-regression analysis was carried out. The results of the study showed that average monthly salary, gross regional product, living wage, number of students at higher educational institutions, number of people who receive state pension payments, number of people who receive assigned state social payments have a significant influence on the poverty rate in Turkestan region. Poverty eradication is one of the biggest and most important tasks of society. This is the main mission of the World Bank and the primary goal in the field of sustainable development, which reflects the agreement of 193 countries on key socio-economic priorities. The results of the study can be used both at the state and local levels to develop programs and strategies to combat poverty in the regions of Kazakhstan.

Published: October 2023

This article gives an overview of the economics disciplines publications in Kazakhstan indexed in the Scopus database in the period from 1997 to 2022. The literature provides an outlook on scientometrics research that can be used for the analysis of specific research fields. Scientometrics methods used in this article identify the state of the research in economics disciplines in Kazakhstan, explicitly focusing on descriptive analysis such as distribution by number of articles, number of journals, number of authors per article, number of citations, number of citations per article and distribution of articles across journals. By using the network analysis and VosViewer software, links and connections within economics discipline publications were identified. Descriptive results of the study identify that across all economics disciplines “Economics, Econometrics, and Finance” has the largest number of publications. In contrast “Business, Management, and Accounting” has the most significant number of authors. The network analysis demonstrated weaker links in “Decision sciences” while in “Economics, Econometrics, and Finance” and “Business, Management, and Accounting” the relationship is closer and more interconnected in the subject areas. The analysis of scientific journals identified the quality of publications and type of journals where papers are published as well as the highest cited papers in the economic disciplines affiliated with Kazakhstan. Conclusions and recommendations suggest that internal processes and scientific infrastructure at universities aimed to improve the quality of publications will increase the interest in research published in Kazakhstan in the global scientific community and have practical implications for the economy.

R&D is seen as crucial to achieving sustainable development, as it promotes innovation and drives economic growth. The aim of this work is to identify primary indicators of research and development and conduct an analysis of the research and development situation in Kazakhstan. The methodology consists of a systematic literature review (13 articles) and statistical analysis of research and innovation development in Kazakhstan for the period between 2014 and 2020 and included indicators of R&D development in Kazakhstan: R&D Costs Total/ Internal/ External and Sources of funding. Results show that research and development investments have a positive impact on productivity, innovation, and economic growth. The results showed that the highest level of internal costs for innovative research and development is formed in the cities of Almaty and Astana and in the Mangystau region. However, the level of internal research costs in Almaty c. decreased by 22% in 2018. Positive dynamics were in Astana, East Kazakhstan, Atyrau, Mangystau, Pavlodar and Zhambyl regions. There was also observed a clear upward trend in the own funds of enterprises allocated to finance these costs. The findings suggest that policymakers should prioritize supporting research and development and innovation investments in both the public and private sectors. Analysis of research and development expenses shows that internal costs are the most crucial, as they reflect the innovation demand and potential of enterprises. Further analysis is necessary to examine the distribution of internal costs based on the types of activities carried out by companies.

Published: October 2023

As a result of the implementation and use of ICT, the pedagogical conditions of education, training and management are undergoing revolutionary changes. Both their functions and content are changing.
The introduction of ICT changes not only the "material-spatial" environment of education, but also the reflective environment, which is an important condition for the implementation of any educational process.
Taking into account the psychological aspect of the pedagogical conditions of educational work and management, the task is to continuously increase the degree of involvement of the subjects of education. ICT contribute to increasing the efficiency of the process of developing an individual educational trajectory of students, as well as personalizing the educational process, increasing the level of training of students, the speed of mastering new material, consolidating students' knowledge, enhancing their educational and cognitive activity, provides feedback from subjects and objects involved in educational work.
At the didactic level, the possibilities of monitoring and evaluating classes, the consistent use of frontal, group, individual teaching methods and the use of games in the learning process.
At the methodological level, they ensure the availability of the proposed material, the transparency of assessment, expand the possibilities for including interdisciplinary exercises in the educational process, and strengthen interdisciplinary connections in education.
Acting as the most important technological component of improving pedagogical conditions, ICT contribute to the formation of unique interactive educational environment. Traditional blackboards are being replaced by interactive whiteboards, traditional lectures are turning into interactive conferences, and the “gaps” of the traditional library are being filled by the media library.
ICT also creates fertile ground at the highest reflexive levels of control and regulation of the process of improving pedagogical conditions.
