Authors: Filippova A.
Published: July 2023

The article highlights the issue of recognizing foreigners and stateless persons as missing or declaring them dead as one of the key problems facing Ukraine and the international community in connection with the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. Thus, since February 24, 2022, more than 15,000 people, including foreigners and stateless persons, have disappeared as a result of armed aggression in the country.Based on the analysis of current normative legal acts of the national legislation, the grounds and legal consequences of recognizing a natural person as missing or declaring him dead have been determined. It was established that the last of the known personal laws of a person is of key importance in the issue under consideration. Approaches for determining the personal law of an individual are given. Attention is focused on the concept of a person who went missing under special circumstances, such as military operations and the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine. The procedure for recognizing a natural person as missing or declaring him dead is outlined in detail. International treaties, in particular bilateral agreements of Ukraine, are considered, which regulate the issue under study, in particular, the Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe of June 25, 2015, which is dedicated to missing persons during the armed conflict in Ukraine. The experience of foreign countries in regulating the researched issue, namely the procedures and methods of searching for missing persons, which can become a positive experience for implementation in our country, is analyzed. Ukraine is already moving towards improving this system by introducing the Unified Register of Persons Disappeared Under Special Circumstances. It found that domestic legislation provides the basis for declaring foreigners missing, but the process could be improved through cooperation with foreign governments and organizations.

Published: July 2023

The article conducts a scientific and practical study of economic and legal aspects of foreign investment, which is one of the spheres of regulation of international private relations. International legal documents in the field of investment were analyzed, in particular, on the promotion and mutual protection of investments. The connectivity of the subject of foreign investment regulation in conditions of ambiguity and interdependence is revealed, forming an international sphere of foreign investment, which includes national and international legal regulation, which creates a complex of legal norms and principles for regulating relations between various subjects of investment, both public and private sphere. It is noted that international legal norms should reflect not only the processes of interaction between states, but also regulate the sphere of international private law relations, which are established and provided by law. The need for the creation of favorable conditions for foreign investment in the need for appropriate legal forms and methods of protection of foreign capital investments, taking into account the two-level nature of regulation, because the improvement of the investment climate requires the presence of legal prerequisites for the interaction of various types and forms of ownership and subject composition, which include national legal and international legal regulation. It is emphasized that foreign investment is an important tool for both social and economic development of countries, since a successful investment policy is a prerequisite for the growth of the level of the economic component due to an increase in the volume of powerful production and an increase in the level of product quality. It was determined that foreign investment, due to its special position in international cooperation in the field of economic development, forms a complex of relations that reflect the objective aspects of the formation and development of foreign investment as an economic and legal phenomenon in society, in which states, international financial and economic organizations, international investment organizations, international non-governmental organizations, transnational corporations, private subjects of foreign investment, both legal and natural persons. It was established that there is a specific method of legal regulation of foreign investment using a certain complex of legal means, combinations of legal influence, having its own peculiarity, it indicates a combination of public law and private-law regulation of the specified area.

Authors: Zhyliaev I.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the Ukrainian and foreign experience of legal regulation of support for young researchers, to identify the peculiarities of the regulation of the status of young scientists. Modern global challenges of scientific and technological development actualize the issue of preservation of national scientific potential, application of best practices of European integration of science and innovation, academic mobility of training of young scientific personnel. The Ukrainian state implements measures to overcome the negative situation that intensified during the 21st century, which is characterized by a decrease in the number and quality of scientific research, the departure of talented scientists abroad to continue their academic career. Solving the problem of scientific personnel is facilitated by the promotion of various forms of stimulation of research activities and measures to support researchers, updating the concept of the legal status of a researcher. The legal status of the researcher was formed by international law during the XX-XXI centuries. A standard model of the legal status of researchers was formed, including their rights and freedoms, as well as duties and responsibilities. The article analyzes the terminological features of the development of legislation on science in terms of the application of the concepts “young scientist”, “young researcher”, “researcher at the beginning of his career”; the state of personnel potential of Ukrainian science. The tools for supporting young scientists provided by national and foreign legislation and the practice of their application are studied. Conclusion: improving the status of young researchers is an urgent task for the development of legislation on science. National and foreign experience demonstrates a variety of legal tools: mechanisms and tools that provide incentives for young people to engage in research activities, first of all - financial tools.

Authors: Turchak O.V. , Burakov Yu.V. , Posohova A.V.
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the analysis of the legal principles of international military cooperation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Russian Ukrainian war. Its origins date back to the early 2000s.With the beginning of Russian aggression in 2014, a new stage of cooperation with NATO member countries was opened. It is connected with the decisions of the Wales, Warsaw and Brussels summits.International military cooperation with the institutions of the European Union was carried out in accordance with the Association Agreement with the European Union and related international regulations.In 2014, the Armed Forces of Ukraine joined the Partner Interoperability Initiative.The Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding Ukraine’s Refusal to Implement the Non-Alignment Policy” of December 23, 2014 became a landmark in the development of such cooperation.The main form of international cooperation was the participation of the Armed Forces in international military trainings. For this purpose, normative legal acts approving plans and participation in them were adopted annually.Cooperation with the defense departments of the Republic of Poland, the Baltic States, Great Britain, Canada, Turkey and a number of other countries was actively developed.Multilateral cooperation was carried out within the framework of the Charter on a special partnership, the annual Work Plan for the cooperation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Secretariat of the Council of the EU.The National Security Strategy of Ukraine (2015) and the Sustainable Development Strategy “Ukraine-2020” were important program documents.A significant achievement in the development of relations with NATO was the granting of enhanced partner status to Ukraine on June 12, 2020.Further international normative acts and domestic legislation developed the foundations of military cooperation between Ukraine, the member countries of NATO and the European Union.Thus, it should be stated that Ukraine and its partners have established effective legal foundations for international military cooperation.

"Sándor Weöres was a significant experimental artist in Hungarian poetry, who often perceived the tonal elements of the Hungarian language as melodies. The musicality of his texts, the rhythmic play of his words finds artistic form in his verses. Zoltán Kodály followed the poet’s poems with 4 4 and literary theory and Sándor Weöres’s affinity for music encouraged a creative-artistic dialogue between the two, which provided the space for a number of masterpieces for both children and adult audience. In our paper, we will look for language-music (text-melody) analogies in Kodály’s works composed to Weöres’ poems. Keywords: Analogical thinking, text and melody, vocal compositions, Sándor Weöres, Zoltán Kodály"

The problem of education in Vonggo Village is a crucial matter that needs to be resolved immediately. The presence of the Vonggo Communal School is expected to be a beacon for the Vonggo people so that they can pursue education like other children in general. This paper aims to look at how the Vonggo Village community responds to the inclusion of education through the Vonggo Communal School and see how the Vonggo Communal School's management strategy is in habituating community school practices. The method used in this research is qualitative research with a participatory action research (PAR) approach. The problems in this study were analyzed using the Habituation theory by Pierre Bourdieu. The results showed that at the beginning of SKV's presence, there were negative responses, including 1) people's attitude which tended to be closed; 2) there is public opinion that education is not a priority; and 3) concerns about the entry of Islamization through schools. However, over time, the community began to show a positive response by starting to participate in the development of school implementation and the emergence of enthusiasm to send their children to SKV. SKV, which is still relatively new, has been running quite well, but in its implementation, there are still many problems that require various alternative solutions so that this school can run continuously.

SHIFTING THE FOCUS TO ABILITY, NOT DISABILITY
Authors: DOĞRUEL Fulya
Published: July 2023

This study examines the dynamics of social inclusion and exclusion of people with disabilities while also interrogating the changing meanings of normality, subjectivity, and equality with a focus on the concepts of capability and accessibility. The study, sheds light on the expectations of and challenges faced by disabled people trying to achieve a content life while examining the conditions for a more egalitarian society that embraces disabled people. According to current estimates, there are more than a billion disabled people around the globe. In this sense, many people with disability face multiple barriers, exclusion and stigmatization while accessing social, physical and economic fields throughout their lives. Disability is a human rights concern because people with disabilities experience violations while exercising their fundamental rights. This qualitative study was conducted in Izmir, in 2015 through in-depth interviews with 12 participants with orthopedic disabilities. The study, in line with the contemporary paradigm of disability, reveals that disability is a relational issue that requires a holistic approach as it is not only a physical issue but also a sociocultural phenomenon that people experience due to their interactions as well as social and institutional perceptions of disability.

Authors: Wang Hainan , Su Chun , Zhang Ming , Liu Peng , Chen Wei
Published: July 2023

Background: General movements assessment (GMA) is a non-invasive tool for early assessment of neonatal spontaneous movements. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of GMA in predicting the neuromotor development outcomes of high-risk infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). Methods: The results of GMA at different phases in 80 children with NRDS expected to be born between September 2020 and July 2021 were collected, and the neuromotor development outcomes were verified by Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) follow-up from March 2022 to May 2022. The study used the screening method and the Chi-square test to analyze the predictive value of different phases of GMA. Results: The GMA writhing movements phase showed an accuracy of 70.00%, a sensitivity of 82.76%, a specificity of 62.75%, a positive predictive value of 55.81%, a negative predictive value of 86.49%, a Youden index of 0.46, and a positive likelihood ratio of 2.22. The GMA fidgety movements phase showed an accuracy of 95.00%, a sensitivity of 96.55%, a specificity of 94.12%, a positive predictive value of 90.32%, a negative predictive value of 97.96%, a Youden index of 0.91, and a positive likelihood ratio of 16.42. The differences between the specificity, accuracy and negative predictive values of GMA were statistically different (χ22 = 9.600, p2 < 0.005; χ23 = 17.316, p3 < 0.005; χ25 = 10.268, p5 = 0.001), while no statistically significant differences were found in the comparison of sensitivity and positive predictive values (p1 = 1.000; χ24 = 2.690, p4 = 0.101). Conclusions: GMA has a favorable predictive value for neuromotor development outcomes in children with NRDS. Clinical Trial Registration: ChiCTR2200061223.
Controllable Stress Increases Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in Rats: Regulation by the Central Nucleus of the Amygdala
Authors: Wellman Laurie L. , Adkins Austin M. , Yang Linghui , Tang Xiangdong , Sanford Larry D.
Published: July 2023

Background: Training with inescapable shock (IS; uncontrollable stressor) is followed by significant decreases in rapid eye movement sleep (REM). However, controllability is important in the effects of stress. We examined the effects of escapable shock (ES; controllable stressor) on sleep and whether the central nucleus of the amygdala (CNA) plays a role in regulating these effects. Methods: Six Wistar rats implanted with a cannula located in CNA underwent two days of ES training (20 shock presentations; 0.5 mA; 5.0 s maximum duration; 1.0 min interstimulus interval). Five days later, they were re-exposed to the shock context. Results: Following shock training, REM was significantly increased in both light and dark periods. Non-REM (NREM) and total sleep (TS) duration were decreased during the light period. Similar effects on REM and NREM were observed following re-exposure to the training context alone. Microinjections of saline into CNA immediately following ES also produced similar increases in REM, whereas microinjections of muscimol (MUS; GABAA (γ-aminobutyric acid) antagonist) subsequent to ES blocked the increases in REM. Conclusions: These data, along with previous work with ES and IS, demonstrate that stressor controllability is important in determining how stress impacts sleep. Moreover, the results of the microinjection study indicate that the effects of ES on REM are regulated through the CNA.

Published: July 2023

Background: Anaemia (low haemoglobin [Hb]) is well known to be associated with high mortality and adverse cardiac events following surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, little is known about the relationship of AAA volume and Hb level alterations with endovascular repair of AAA. This study aimed to examine the changes in the Hb level and aneurysm volume before and after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for AAA and determine the relationship between the post-operative Hb level and the volume loss of AAA. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patients with AAA who underwent EVAR between January 2020 and February 2021 at a tertiary medical centre. The clinical features and medical history of the patients were analysed. Alterations in the Hb level were recorded, and the AAA volume was calculated from computed tomography angiography images before and after EVAR to infer the association between the post-operative Hb level and alterations in AAA volume. Moreover, AAA volume, pre-operative Hb level and medical history were studied to identify the risk factors for anaemia 24 h after EVAR. Results: A total of 74 patients (mean age, 67 ± 7.9 years) were included in this study. The Hb level decreased significantly 24 h after EVAR, and the post-operative Hb level was negatively correlated with AAA volume loss (r = –0.252, p = 0.041). No relationship was observed between AAA volume loss and decrease in the Hb level (r = 0.072, p = 0.571) or between pre-operative AAA volume and decrease in the Hb level (r = 0.072, p = 0.566). Furthermore, 59.5% of the patients (n = 44) developed anaemia 24 h after EVAR. The odds ratio (OR) of anaemia 24 h after EVAR was 5.3 times higher in those with hypertension (OR, 5.304; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.024–27.424) than in those without the condition. The pre-operative Hb level (or normal Hb level) was a protective factor (OR = 0.909; 95% CI, 0.853–0.969). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.840. The post-operative Hb level declined significantly, and AAA volume loss contributed to it. Moreover, hypertension was identified to be a risk factor for anaemia 24 h after EVAR, and pre-operative Hb level was discerned to be a protective factor. Conclusions: The findings suggest that decrease in the Hb level in the early post-EVAR stage warrants the attention of surgeons, especially in patients with a history of hypertension or a low pre-operative Hb level.
Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Therapy: Evolution and Growing Evidence
Authors: Han Xinqiang , Benditt David G.
Published: July 2023

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and if untreated, significantly increases both the risk of intracardiac thrombus formation and ischemic stroke. In patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF), the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been estimated to be the source of thrombus development in 91% to 99% of cases. Consequently, oral anticoagulation (OAC) to provide stroke prevention has become the standard of care for most AF patients; however, OACs are associated with a risk of bleeding and their efficacy depends on optimal patient compliance. In terms of alternative approaches to preventing embolic events, surgical LAA excision was attempted as early as in the late 1940s in patients with valvular AF; LAA excision remains a recommendation in surgical guidelines for NVAF patients who need open-heart coronary bypass or valvular replacement/repair surgeries. However, due to its invasive nature surgical LAA intervention has limited clinical application in present cardiology practice. Percutaneous LAA occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly being performed as an alternative to OAC for stroke prevention; this is particularly the case in patients at increased bleeding risk. Substantial progress has been made in percutaneous LAAO therapy since its inception some twenty years ago. Herein we systematically review both the critical literature that led to the development of LAAO, and the increasing clinical evidence supporting the application of this treatment strategy in NVAF. To this end we focus on recently published critical evaluations of United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and Conformité Européenne (Commercial Sale of Licensed Product in the EU) (CE-Mark) approved LAAO devices, summarize the current status of LAAO therapy, and discuss the future perspectives regarding the knowledge and technology gaps in this area by recognizing the potential contributions of many ongoing but likely transformative clinical trials.
Evidence Can Change Partisan Minds but Less So in Hostile Contexts
Authors: Kim Jin Woo
Published: July 2023

A large body of literature indicates that partisan motivated reasoning drives resistance to political persuasion. But recent scholarship has challenged this view, suggesting that people don’t always resist uncongenial information, and even when they do, it is not clear why. In this article, I present two survey experiments that examine when and why partisans selectively dismiss uncongenial information. The findings show that, in the absence of affective triggers, partisans were persuaded by both congenial and uncongenial information. But when randomly induced to feel adversarial, they became more dismissive of uncongenial information and ultimately disagreed more, not less, after considering the same information. These results (1) identify a crucial condition that provokes resistance to political persuasion; (2) demonstrate partisan motivated reasoning more clearly than previous studies; (3) underscore the importance of the quality of elite-level political discourse in determining the quality of citizen-level opinion formation.
Feature learning both shapes and is shaped by spatial object-similarity representations
Authors: Doyon Jonathan K , Shomstein Sarah , Rosenblau Gabriela
Published: July 2023

Our knowledge of objects is bound together in semantic networks that can be spatially represented and reduced to simple binary category memberships or expanded to multi-dimensional feature maps. How these knowledge representations shape and are in turn shaped by learning remains unclear. Here, we examined how object similarity representations influence implicit learning of a feature dimension and how in turn learning alters this similarity representation. In Experiment 1, we establish the spatial similarity representation of everyday objects belonging to three discrete categories: activity, fashion, and foods with various subcategories. Participants (N=287) spatially arranged subsets of 120 object-pictures using the multi arrangement task (MAT). Their arrangement revealed a configuration that broadly reflected the predefined (sub)categories. In Experiment 2, we investigated whether spatial similarity representations from Experiment 1 were applied when implicitly learning about specific object features and whether learning in turn altered these object representations. A separate group of participants (N=87) were asked to rate how much two pseudo-words (‘ation’ and ‘soaf’) applied to a subset of objects from Experiment 1. Unbeknown to participants, pseudo-words meant either colorful or large. Despite items not being repeated, participants inferred the meaning of the pseudo-words through trial-by-trial feedback as evidenced by significant reductions in prediction errors over time in both colorful and large conditions. Participants relied on a reinforcement learning model scaled by fine granularity item-level relationships established with the MAT in Experiment 1 to deduce the meaning of the nonwords in question. Finally, the features in question were reflected in participants’ object configurations in the post-learning MAT task in Experiment 2.Overall, our results point to the spatial organization of item similarity, its employment during implicit learning and reorganization as a result of learning. This carryover of implicit learning to longer-term knowledge representation elucidates the mechanism of how we integrate new concepts into our existing knowledge representations.
An evidence-based model of job rotation
Authors: Coyne Patrick
Published: July 2023

This submission is the major project for Doctor of Professional Studies. It describes increases in my professional capabilities as a leader and researcher by innovative use and development of job rotation as a means to enhance nurse recruitment, retention and development in north west London. It includes an up-to-date and unique critical review of the broad literature on job rotation.As part of an ongoing emancipatory action research study, it is a formative evaluation of five previous local studies (see supplemental materials). The formative evaluation was undertaken by two expert panels and myself, using nominal group technique, with a view to identifying key factors from the literature and our own experience to develop an evidence-based model of job rotation. By the use of template analysis and hermeneutic dialectic process an evidence-based model of job rotation has been produced.In addition to the model that has been produced around an a priori template of structure, process and outcome, the research process, using a critical realism and emancipatory approach, has also led to increased learning amongst the many participants plus a variety of other benefits identified by them.Our research reports and this model will contribute to the local action research community or community of practice. They are currently contributing to a feasibility study sponsored by the local Primary Care Trust to explore the use of job rotation to enable Incapacity Benefit Claimants to return to work. Further dissemination of the work will be targeted at sharing the knowledge widely amongst my own profession of nursing and my own area of health care work. It will also be disseminated beyond these fields to include general business and other professions.It is expected that the work will continue to influence human resources policy, as it has in the past, to promote the appropriate, effective and efficient use of job rotation, and the ongoing systematic development of an evidence-base in this area of knowledge.

Authors: Sah Sanjay Kumar , Gupta Suprita , Jha Amit Chandra , Marasini Surendra , Yadav Tapeshwar , Shrestha Brijesh
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, a prevalent global health problem, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Metformin, the most widely used hypoglycemic agent can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B12. Very less information is available regarding the relationship between metformin therapy and vitamin B12 deficiency in the Nepalese population.
Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the level of vitamin B12 in cases of diabetes mellitus under metformin therapy and to access the relationship of serum vitamin B12 level with the duration of metformin therapy.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study with 300 diagnosed diabetes mellitus cases under metformin therapy were enrolled in the study after the consent was taken. The prior ethical clearance was taken and the duration of the study was from December 2021 to June 2022.
Results: The study showed 78% (n=234) of the total diabetic cases under metformin therapy had lower vitamin B12. In 50-60 years, age group, 91% of them were vitamin B12 deficient. Vitamin B12 deficient cases were more with the increase in duration and dose of metformin therapy. All the diabetics who were under medication for 16-20 years had lower vitamin levels. About 94% (n=200) of the diabetics taking more than 1000 mg/day were vitamin B12 deficient whereas only 39% (n=34) of diabetics taking less than 1000mg/day were found to be deficient.
Conclusions: Vitamin B12 is deficient in diabetics under long-term and higher doses of metformin therapy. Diabetic patients who are undergoing metformin treatment should monitor their vitamin B12 status as they are more prone to vitamin B12 deficiency.

Әдісі: Зерттеу жүргізу кезінде жұмыста әртүрлі әдістер мен тәсілдер қолданылды: талдау, салыстыру, деректерді салыстырмалы бағалау, шолу жасау, сипаттау, берілген деректерді суреттеу. Деректерді талдау барасында Қазақстан Республикасының әр жылдардағы бюджет көлемі алынды, сондай-ақ жалпы бюджет қаражатының пайдалану тиімділігі мен нәтижелігіне талдау жүргізілді.

Қорытынды: Мақалада жалпы мәселелер қарастырылды. Негізгі ұғымдар айқындалды, мемлекеттік бюджеттің статистикалық түрде тапшылығы көрсетілді және мемлекеттік бюджетті тиімді жұмсалуын бағалау мақсатында сурет түрінде әдістеме ұсынылды.

Тұжырымдама: Бюджет ― бұл тек ғана қаражат емес, бұл елдің тіреуі деп атауға болады. Бюджетке түсетін түсімдердің толық түсуі мен шығындарын реттеу арқылы ғана жыл сайынға тапшылық мөлшерін реттеуге болады. Бюджетке түсетін салық түсімдері де толық дәрежеде түспеуінен де тапшылыққа әсер етеді. Сондықтанда түсімдер мен шығындардың дұрыс болуы үшін бюджет жүйесін қайта қарастыру керек.

Мақсаты: Мақаланың мақсаты ― Халықаралық теміржол тасымалын ұйымдастырудың мәнін және рөлін белгілеу, оны жетілдіру жолдарын анықтау. Мақсатқа жету үшін келесі міндеттер қойылды және шешілді: көлік жүйесінің халықаралық тасымалды жетілдірудегі орны мен рөлі; Қазақстан Республикасындағы халықаралық теміржол тасымалын ұйымдастыруды зерттеу және тиімділігін бағалау; «Қазақстан темір жолы» ҰК ЖАҚ жүзеге асыратын Қазақстан Республикасындағы халықаралық тасымалдаулардың көрсеткіштерін талдау; сыртқы экономикалық қызметте көліктік қолдауды жетілдіру мақсатында көліктік индустрияны дамытудың негізгі басымдықтарын айқындау.

Әдісі: Әдіснамалық негізді экономика классиктерінің негізгі теориялары, Қазақстан Республикасында халықаралық теміржол тасымалын ұйымдастыру мәселелері бойынша шетелдік және отандық ғалымдар мен мамандардың жұмыстары, сондай-ақ әдебиеттерді жүйелі талдау, құжаттарды контенттік талдау, сарапшылармен сұхбат, синтетикалық талдау әдісі және салыстырмалы талдау құрайды.

Қорытынды:Қазақстанның темір жол секторын дамыту стратегиясы сауданың қолайлы жағдайларын ұсынатын халықаралық темір жол көлік жүйесін көздейді. 2030 жылға қарай бұл жүйені бүкіл аймақта жылдам, тиімді, қол жетімді және пайдалану оңай болады. Осы мақсатқа жету үшін негізгі міндеттер теміржол және мультимодальды инфрақұрылымды жетілдіру, теміржол қызметін коммерцияландыру және реформалау болып табылады. Осы үш компонентті коммерцияландыру реформалары мен саясатының кешенді пакетіне біріктіру теміржол көлігін тартымды етуге және оның жалпы көлік желісіндегі үлесін арттыруға бағытталған.

Тұжырымдама: Қазақстанның дамуы үшін аса маңызды мәселе, Қазақстанның Еуропа мен Азияны жалғайтын жерүсті халықаралық дәліздеріне белсенді қатысуы. Бұл тек қана, өнімдерді халықаралық нарықтарға тиімді жеткізу емес, сонымен қатар транзиттік тасымалдаудан түсетін төлемдердің ел пайдасына түсетіндігінде. Көлік инфрақұрылымы ― индустриялық экономика мен қоғамның тамырына қан жүгіртетін жүйе. Сапалы заманауи магистральдарсыз дамыған ел болмайды. Теміржол көлігі ― республиканың көлік кешеніндегі маңызды қатынас құралы, көлік инфрақұрылымындағы басты буын. Қазақстанның географиялық жағдайы, оның ұлан-байтақ аумақты алып жатуы, өндірістің шикізаттық құрылымы, өндіргіш күштердің орналасуы, автожол инфрақұрылымының жеткілікті дамымағандығы себепті темір жол көлігінің ел экономикасындағы рөлі айрықша маңызды

Object: to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industrial production level in Kazakhstan.

Methods: to pursue this objective, we’ve used statistical data analysis methods, including comparison of output indicators and industrial production indices for the period from 2017 to 2021.

Findings: the results of the research have showed that overall industrial production in Kazakhstan decreased during the pandemic. However, the effects of the pandemic on individual sectors varied. Mining and quarrying as well as crude oil and natural gas production experienced significant declines in production due to the shutdown of production capacity for lack of demand in the global energy market. At the same time, other industries, such as food production and agriculture, increased their production capacity amidst increased demand for food.

Conclusions: the results of the research have confirmed the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the industrial production level in Kazakhstan, causing reduced output and deteriorated financial performance of enterprises. However, we’ve also confirmed the hypothesis that the pandemic spurred development of certain industries in Kazakhstan. Thus, this research allows us to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy of Kazakhstan and develop recommendations for its improvement in the future.
