Grid integration of renewables: challenges and solutions
Authors: Vidyanandan K. V. , Kamath Balkrishn
Published: September 2022

Exponential growth in the energy demand on account of rising population and economic growth, increasing apprehensions of energy security coupled with climate change and global warming concerns are some of the major drivers for pushing the renewable energy (RE) to the top of the energy portfolio. Among various renewable energy resources, wind and solar PV systems are experiencing rapid growth since 2010. By the end of 2016, the world total capacity of wind power generation was 487 GW and that of solar PV was 303 GW, aggregating to a penetration level of 4.0% and 1.5% respectively. Global renewable energy penetration till December 2016, excluding conventional hydro share (of 16.6%) was only around 8.0%. However, many countries have set target of 30% RE based electricity generation by 2030. India has an ambitious target of achieving 175 GW of RE power by 2022, with 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from biomass and 5 GW from small hydro. Power generation from renewables often takes place through distributed generation (DG). These units, mostly located in remote locations, are not centrally planned or dispatched, and are usually connected to distribution grids at LV or MV levels. In few cases, large capacity RE generation are also connected to transmission networks. As a result, the power generation structure is moving from the large, centralized plants to a mixed generation pool consisting of traditional large plants and many smaller DG units. Most of the RE generators have electrical characteristics that are different from the synchronous machines. Since a large group of DG technologies use power electronics converters for grid connectivity, they introduce many technical issues related to the operation, control and protection of the power system, impacting generators, transmission system and consumer devices. This paper presents some of the technical issues and challenges that need to be addressed for the effective grid integration of RE based power generators so that eventually our reliance on polluting and expensive fossil based hydrocarbon driven power generation can be reduced substantially.

Diagnosis and Treatment of an Incomplete Crown-Root Fracture with Intentional Replantation: A Case Report
Authors: Niavarzi Soheil , Sheikhrezaei Mohammad Saeid , Ghabraei Sholeh
Published: September 2022

Acute traumatic injuries to the maxillary incisors may lead to a crown-root fracture. If the fracture is left untreated, the fracture line will propagate and extend apically, resulting in microbial contamination of the attachment apparatus and subsequent bone loss. In cases with extensive periodontal involvement, extraction has been suggested. However, bonding and sealing the fracture line with a biocompatible material seems to be an effective alternative treatment option. In this case report, management of a central incisor with an incomplete crown-root fracture that showed signs and symptoms of vertical root fracture is discussed. As the extension of the fracture line was not clear, intentional replantation and sealing the fracture line with a glass ionomer was performed. The tooth showed no signs and symptoms at six-month follow up, and the radiographic examination exhibited substantial bone repair.
Relevance of Teledentistry: Brief Report and Future Perspectives
Authors: Fornaini Carlo , Rocca Jean-Paul
Published: September 2022

Teledentistry is a type of telemedicine and telehealth that aims to make all major specialties of the discipline easier through a remote approach to prevention and treatment of oral and dental issues. This new method enables distant access to individuals instead of direct, face-to-face, doctor-patient contact and has been made possible thanks to developments in information technology. Teledentistry was described in 1997 as “… the practice of using video-conferencing technologies to diagnose and provide advice about treatment over a distance”, and today it represents a modern way to practice dentistry by integrating digital imaging, electronics, health records, and telecommunications technology via an internet connection. This approach facilitates patients’ access to care in remote settings and also enables specialists at distant locations to arrive at a correct diagnosis as well as to propose proper therapy or refer patients, where warranted. The current brief report aims to describe the present and future of this modern approach in dentistry and its advantages in patient management from prevention to diagnosis to treatment.
Combining Circumvestibular Corticotomy with Maxillary Protraction as a Conservative Approach to Treatment in an Adolescent with Maxillary Deficiency: A Case Report with Long Term Follow-up
Authors: Piroozmand Farzad , Shirazi Mohsen , Salari Behzad , Zarnegar Hooman
Published: September 2022

Maxillary protraction with a face mask is an effective treatment for class III children with maxillary hypoplasia. However, in late adolescence, orthopedic approaches are not very effective for treatment of maxillary deficiency. The aim of this study was to report a minimally invasive technique to orthopedically treat a 16-year-old female adolescent with mild to moderate maxillary deficiency, before the cessation of growth. A circumvestibular corticotomy technique was performed followed by a regimen of rapid maxillary expansion and application of heavy extra-oral forces. After termination of the orthopedic and orthodontic phases, the patient was monitored for ten years. The dental and skeletal results immediately after treatment were compared with the results ten years after termination of treatment. A noticeable anterior displacement of “A” point was observed after the orthopedic phase and this remained unchanged for ten years.

Authors: Adams Edy C. , Varkey Thomas C. , Aijaz Afaf , Taboada Jorge , Nguyen Anne M.
Published: September 2022

Objective: The transgender male body is often considered a “black box” by even the most senior of attending physicians. Because of the stigma and fear associated with the utilization of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and the lack of clinical knowledge surrounding the subject, many transgender men will experience unnecessary testing for endometrial cancers.
Materials and methods: This narrative review looked through publicly available PubMed and GoogleScholar articles on the topic of the use of pelvic ultrasounds in gynecological screening in transgendered males. 18,000 articles were filtered by relevance, date, clarity of the topic, and clinical recommendations. Of these articles 37 were included for discussion.
Results: Of these 18,000 articles, only 37 were included for discussion. The resulting table, diagnostic tree, and discussion section are included within.
Conclusion: Herein, the authors discuss the current understanding of the role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological cancers in transgendered men and how unnecessary imaging studies can be curbed for the benefit of the patient and the medical system at large.

Authors: Algeri Paola , Munné-Collado Jessica , Algeri Maurizio
Published: September 2022

Objective: Primary malignant urethral melanoma is a rare condition, concerning less than 1% of melanomas and 4% of all urethral cancers. The early treatment of urethral melanoma is extremely important due to the tendency to early metastasis.
Case report: 88-year-old Caucasian lady presented vaginal bleeding. At first Gynaecological examination an urethral caruncle with otherwise normal trans-vaginal ultrasound was diagnosed. The patient not reassured asked for a second consultation opting to remove the reddish fleshy polypoid lesion protruding from the urethra. Histology revealed a urethral amelanotic melanoma. The patient underwent an excission of the urethral lesion. Urologist, oncologist and gynaecologist at tumor board meeting, considering patient’s age and negative PET, decided for conservative management with close clinical and imaging follow-up.7 months after, vaginal bleeding recurred and a nodule on the anterior vaginal wall was detected and biopsied and resulted a pigmented melanoma. The patient underwent a wide margin excision. At 10 months follow-up there were no evidence of recurrence nor distant metastasis. She started a prophylactic immunotherapy with Nivolumab; at her third administration she presented only asthenia as side effect.
Conclusion: It is importanto to keep in mind the urethral amelanotic melanoma to allow an early removal or biopsy, preventing diagnostic delay/misdiagnosis and aiding either in better patient management or outcome.

Two forced convective fish rotary dryers of different geometries (cube and cylindrical) with modelled fish were simulated using ANSYS commercial software to determine the geometry that gives an optimal inlet temperature distribution profile, which ultimately leads to faster drying of fish. The geometries were constructed using CATIA V5 modelling software such that they both have the same volume, so they can be compared appropriately. The simulation was carried out for different inlet temperatures and at different time intervals. From the simulations carried out, it was discovered that the cylindrical rotary dryer possesses the maximum mean dryer temperatures in most of the time intervals considered. The temperature distribution obtained thus reveals that the cylindrical d duration of thermal action on the products. Therefore, the cylindrical rotary dryer gives an increased drying rate and an improved quality of product.

Authors: Chen Chih-Chia (JJ) , Hodges Kulinna Pamela , Spring Katherine E. , Ryuh Yonjoong , Holmes Megan E.
Published: September 2022

The term “physical literacy” has been integrated into national physical education standards. This study was designed to better understand how preservice physical educators put physical literacy into practice and prepare to be role models within the school context. Sixty preservice physical educators (46 males, 14 females, aged 19 to 25) participated and performed multiple tests in accordance with the second edition of the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy testing battery, as well a questionnaire about their perceived physical competence. Participants had significantly poorer performance than the standard for a 12-year-old child in cardiorespiratory endurance, motor performance, and overall physical activity level. In addition, waist circumference was significantly negatively related to physical competence and physical activity level. A significant positive relationship was found between perceived physical competence and physical activity level among participants. Waist circumference size and low cardiorespiratory endurance were the areas of greatest difficulty and concern for preservice teachers. Also, there was not a significant relationship between actual competence and perceived competence. Our findings suggest a need for a review of the current teacher education curriculum to draw attention to the benefits of physical fitness and motor skills competence for physical education teachers as possible role models.
Tracking Student Outcomes Through Instructional Choices in Physical Education
Authors: Kleitsch Brianna , Hodges Kulinna Pamela
Published: September 2022

This study used self-determination theory to provide a better understanding of learner motivation in a physical education program. Students participated in a sports unit with choice in activities, equipment, partners, and competition as opposed to a traditional teacher-led activity unit. The objective was to determine differences in motivation and perceptions of physical education in grade school children. An alternating treatment design was used in which students experienced both a teacher-led unit and a student choice–driven sports unit. Fifty fifth-grade students from a suburban school in the Western United States participated in this study. Students were assessed through a number of parameters: physical activity enjoyment, situational motivation, fourth- and fifth-grade student attitudes toward physical education, pedometer readings, and interviews. This study used t tests and repeated-measures analyses of variance to explore differences based on condition (i.e., choices and/or teacher led) and gender, as well as common comparisons (i.e., trustworthiness measures) for the interview data. Students displayed significantly higher enjoyment ratings when they had the choice condition second (from the alternating treatment design), immediately before posttests, and boys rated enjoyment of physical education significantly higher than did girls. In another measure, the group with choices of the hockey unit was predominantly more active in the sport than those participating in the teacher-led activity. The interview themes elicited the following responses: (a) students expressed a desire for instructional choices, but not in team selections; (b) students loved sports, but they also wanted more fitness; and (c) students identified and valued instructional choices. The findings suggest that competence plays a critical role in physical education, and when students can choose the level of competition and play in small group games, they feel more competent, play more, and have higher enjoyment ratings within the physical education program.

The author of the report focuses on shaping and streamlining of the costs of work, enhancing the possibilities of using the public resources. She examines the impact of the cost leader choice on the model of personnel function of the firm. She states that although applying a marginal cost strategy with reference to the workers may contribute to a short-term competitiveness, it proves damaging for the firm development in long-term perspective. She fosters a far-sighted personnel policy based on the support and development of the company’s potential, rather than on the reduction of costs.

Electrospinning Pullulan to Nanoencapsulate Milk Derived Peptides
Authors: Devaraju R. , Kalla Adarsh M. , Manjunatha H.
Published: September 2022

Background: Milk proteins are a source of bioactive peptides, which are concealed until released and activated. There is a growing interest and necessity for the use of biologically active milk protein-derived peptides with health-promoting properties in food. Despite several health benefits and functionalities, consumption of bioactive peptides through foods is poor due to their unfavorable flavour or bitter taste, low solubility, poor stability during processing and poor oral bioavailability. Electrospinning is an adaptable process for encapsulation since it does not involve severe temperature and requirement of chemicals for the preparation of encapsulate in the form of nanofibres. Methods: The peptide-loaded electrospun nanofibres are characterized for its surface morphology, encapsulation efficiency, zeta potential and interaction between wall material and peptides. In vitro release studies by dialysis bag technique and antioxidant property by DPPH method. Result: Pullulan at 10, 12 and 14% (w/w) concentrations was used for electrospinning of peptides. Scanning electron micrograph revealed the formation of clean beadfree peptides-loaded pullulan nanofibres at 12 and 14% concentrations. Encapsulation efficiency ranged from 73.00-86.00%. FTIR spectrum and XRD diffractograms showed the nonappearance of interactions between the functional groups of biopolymer pullulan and peptides in the electrospun nanofibres. The peptides from electrospun nanofibres showed sustained release. The antioxidant activity of peptides and those which are in the nanofibres was comparable. The physico-chemical and sensory analysis of milk fortified with peptide loaded nanofibres did not show noticeable difference.
An analysis of compounding in English
Authors: Bérešová Jana
Published: September 2022

Word formation processes contain compounding as one of the principal processes. In English, forming new words by compounding has been recognised since the language of Anglo-Saxons started to develop. The study aims to search for examples of compounds used in contemporary literary prose, focusing on the conceptualisation of reality. Our study will be based on an analysis of excerpted examples that will be sorted according to common features of the way the language users perceive and capture reality. To create and transfer new meanings effectively, compounding seems to be productive as two or more words are combined and function as a single word. The meaning of the compound is influenced by the meanings of its constituents and the relationship between them. Different combinations of meanings are determined by the way extralinguistic reality is classified by the language community.

Psychometric Properties of the Korean Version of the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool
Authors: Jung Mi Sook , Kim Mijung , Cha Kyeongin , Cui Xirong , Lee Ji Wan
Published: September 2022

Background and Purpose:Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a multidimensional symptom cluster induced by neurotoxic chemotherapy agents among patients with cancer. A well-developed tool for assessing CIPN can help with the early detection and timely management of patients. This study assessed the reliability and validity of the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Assessment Tool (CIPNAT) in Korean women with breast cancer who were treated with chemotherapy.Methods:A psychometric analysis of the Korean version of CIPNAT was conducted with 207 patients with breast cancer who were treated with chemotherapy. Patients were assessed using the CIPNAT and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy-20 (CIPN-20). Analyses of internal consistency reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity (based on structural and discriminant validity testing) were performed to evaluate the psychometric properties.Results:The Korean version of the CIPNAT had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.95; the item-total correlation coefficients ranged 0.34–0.76). The CIPNAT and CIPN-20 were moderately correlated (r= .67). Confirmatory factor analyses showed a four-factor structural model with acceptable model fit indices. Discriminant validity was supported by differences between individuals treated with and without taxane-based chemotherapy (p< .001).Implications for Practice:The Korean version of the CIPNAT was a valid and reliable screening tool for identification of CIPN symptoms and functional interference in Korean women who received chemotherapy for breast cancer. The instrument can be useful for the timely and routine assessment of CIPN symptoms and functional limitations of patients with cancer by oncology nurses.
Kontekstualisasi Fiqh Budgeting di Indonesia: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Soleh Hasan Wahid  , M. Muhsin
Published: September 2022

Korupsi dalam bentuk mark-up anggaran menjadi salah satu kasus yang cukup sering terjadi di Indonesia. Model penganggaran yang kurang transparan menjadi salah satu faktornya. Dalam kaitan ini, beberapa peneliti mengusulkan konsep integrasi penganggaran dengan menyuntikkan teori fiqh budgeting namun tataran aplikatif masih sangat minim. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat riset-riset mengenai fiqh budgeting, dalam jurnal-jurnal ilmiah di Indonesia, menilai relevansi dan keterbatasannya. Metodologi yang diadopsi dalam artikel ini adalah tinjauan pustaka sistematis. Pencarian artikel dilakukan secara sistematis melalui Google Scholar dan Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) dengan memilih literatur dari publikasi ilmiah di jurnal dan mengecualikan literatur yang berasal dari selain jurnal. Periode artikel yang dipilih adalah artikel jurnal terbitan 2010-2020. Penelitian penganggaran fikih di Indonesia masih minim pada tataran praktis. Selain itu, riset mengenai fiqh budgeting telah menghubungkan dengan konsep fiskal negara, namun temuan riset masih berupa konsep dan belum menyentuh aspek yang lebih aplikatif (terapan). Temuan penelitian saat ini menekankan pada dua aspek: pertama, perlu dilakukan kontekstualisasi penganggaran fikih berbasis Maqashid Syariah dan kontekstualisasi dan penganggaran Fiqh berbasis integrasi pajak dan zakat. (Corruption in budget mark-ups is a reasonably frequent case in Indonesia. The less transparent budget model is one of the factors. In this regard, several researchers have proposed the concept of budgeting integration by injecting fiqh budgeting theory, but the applicative level is still very minimal. Therefore, this study aims to examine research on fiqh budgeting in scientific journals in Indonesia to assess their relevance and limitations. The methodology adopted in this article is a systematic literature review. Article searches were carried out systematically through Google Scholar and Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) by selecting literature from scientific publications in journals and excluding literature from other than journals. The selected article period is journal articles published from 2010-2020. Jurisprudence budgeting research in Indonesia is still minimal at a practical level. In addition, research on fiqh budgeting has connected with the concept of state fiscal, but the research findings are still in the form of concepts and have not touched on more applicable (applied) aspects. The current study's findings emphasize two aspects: first, it is necessary to contextualize fiqh budgeting based on Maqashid Syariah and contextualization and Fiqh budgeting based on the integration of taxes and zakat.)
Revisiting India’s Amended Citizenship Act 2019 in Light of Constitutional Ethos
Authors: Jain Shilpa , Srivastava Ankit , Tiwary Aditi Richa
Published: September 2022

The Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 and the National Register of Citizens in India are perceived as reflective of a religious classification in grant and continuance of Indian citizenship. The study aimed to discuss the future effects of the amended Citizenship Act 2019 and suggest alternatives to accommodate India's constitutional ethos. A considerable fraction of the Indian citizenry was discorded with this Act because Article 14 of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination based on religion, among other grounds. On the other hand, the state's stance asserted that the law aims to protect the persecuted religious minorities from other states. This study dealt with the nuances and intricacies of the problem to explicate viable solutions by an in-depth analysis of the issue in an unprejudiced manner where it used a combined doctrinal and empirical research to assess the perspectives on the policy in the Global South from the Indian experience. The findings reflected that while a majority of the provisions in the Act can be justified based on constitutional parameters, its few provisions are unconstitutional. In summary, even after juxtaposing all the justifications of the Act against the allegations, a considerable portion of the Act remains unconstitutional, and it needs to be revisited based on constitutional parameters.
Peacebuilding as a New Form of Colonialism: A Case Study of Liberia and Sierra Leone
Authors: Gadkari Ahan Mohit
Published: September 2022

Around two decades ago, legal anthropologist Merry posed the question, "what can we learn about law and globalization today from revisiting the law and colonization literature?" She emphasized how colonial arrangements transformed and affected the fundamental character of contemporary and international law. While peacebuilders, development experts, and human rights activists embrace law as a tool for social change, others have looked back on the history of legal development in the Global South to warn that the rule of law served as a framework for social control. It preserved authority and punished rebellious acts that threatened order while promoting development and social progress. As a result of this reminder, the critical peacebuilding literature has begun to pay attention to how the rule of law and transitional justice frameworks may serve as conceptual, lexical, and discursive foundations for post/neo-colonial control. This article used a historical, empirical, and comparative study of post-war Sierra Leone and Liberia to argue that the transplantation of legal norms and technologies has become more professionalized. In contrast, international efforts to rebuild the rule of law have reinforced social domination by legitimizing external actors as peacebuilders and reconstituting the relationship between the domestic political class and global capital. Social domination refers to the attempt to build an unequal playing field, wherein the country's political and economic elites can leverage and reproduce earlier forms of power relations and domination to consolidate their security within the state apparatus and benefit disproportionately from the security created by a large external presence.

No contexto da pandemia, vivemos a incerteza de quando a vida tornará a sua normalidade. Esse momento de incerteza nos impulsiona a reflexão sobre o atual cenário, os desafios e possibilidades dessa nova forma de viver. Pensando nisso, o presente estudo de cunho bibliográfico hermenêutico busca refletir acerca da prática pedagógica e do ensino de filosofia no atual contexto, atendo-se aos seguintes problemas: é possível uma prática pedagógica de qualidade em meio a esse cenário? De que modo o ensino de filosofia pautado na reflexão pode ser possível na modalidade à distância? Para dar conta de tais questões, buscamos nas reflexões de Antunes Neto (2020) e Barreto; Rocha (2020), o diálogo acerca da possibilidade da prática pedagógica em tempos de pandemia, assim como a possibilidade do ensino de filosofia por meio da reflexão presente nos escritos de Trombetta (2013).
Detecting multiple-equilibria and chaos in oil prices and global commodity markets
Authors: Ozkaya Ata
Published: September 2022

In the past 20 years, commodity markets have been examined under the hypothesis of whether the prices exhibit recurrent patterns or follow the stochastic processes. In this study, we analyze both global energy markets and food markets to detect the presence of multiple equilibria, which may lead to higher spikes in prices and to the occurrence of intermittency. This study focuses on daily prices in Brent petrol and Natural gas markets from 23 May 2017 to 23 May 2022. This time interval covers the period where extraordinary economic and financial policies have been preferred in countries worldwide amid the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. On the other hand, the study investigates global Food index monthly data from 2007M11 to 2022M4. Similarly, the time interval under examination points out the effects of the 2008 global crisis where expansionary monetary policies have been implemented both by the Federal Reserve of the U.S and the European Central Bank. We employed the phase-space reconstruction method for the Crude oil Brent Europe and spot Natural gas prices series, and global Food index data respectively. The main findings of the study demonstrate that commodity markets do not converge to a unique equilibrium level, instead multiple equilibria persist and chaotic behavior occurs. The presence of multiple equilibria leads to an increase in complexity and recurrently causes volatility in commodity markets, which may have spillover effects on other financial markets. Our results suggest that these effects simultaneously increase global inflationary pressures. From the perspective of policy making, it is crucial to establish a strategy to eliminate multiple equilibria and prevent high price spikes. Our findings have important implications for Central bank policies in emerging markets and portfolio and risk management.

This study examines the strengths and limitations of 22 published journal articles by conducting a systematic literature review. The review revealed that the qualitative approach was flexible, offered in-depth and detailed information, allowed the use of multiple data collection methods and minimised the chance of having missing data. The approach was found (i) to integrate human touch, was cost-effective and was indeed the only option in some cases of research problems; (ii) to be prone to researchers’ subjectivity, involves complex data analysis, makes anonymity difficult and has limited scope in its generalizability, and (iii) to make replication of findings challenging, and the findings may be influenced by the researcher’s bias. It is concluded, therefore, that researchers should take necessary precautions when using the approach to ensure that the weaknesses of qualitative research do not bar them from achieving research objectives.

This paper investigated interaction and discourse during teacher classroom practices in the Senior Phase Natural Sciences in some rural schools positioned in the Vhembe District of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. The research method employed was a qualitative interpretative multiple case study design. Two schools were selected, and one Natural Science teacher from each school participated in this study. Classroom observations and interviews were used to collect data from Senior phase Natural Sciences teachers. Natural sciences teachers were interviewed in their schools and observed during classroom practice. The findings of the study show that the type of discourse observed from Natural Sciences teachers was authoritative discourse and the pattern of discourse employed was Initiation Response Evaluation. Teacher questioning was used to develop the lesson and evaluate learner understanding. Teachers used an interactive-authoritative communicative approach during their lesson presentations. The consequences of the approaches the teachers use limit the opportunities for learners to interact amongst themselves and the subject content. It is recommended that besides focusing on subject matter knowledge during continuous development programs, there is a need to focus on interactions and discourse. Furthermore, there is a need to conduct further studies on a large scale so that a suitable intervention program can be designed for in-service teachers.

This study aims to re-examine the issues that involve outreaching the urgency of labor law for informal sector workers in the concept of the welfare state in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative juridical approach or a study of documents or literature that only focuses on labor laws currently in force in Indonesia. The qualitative method approach that is descriptive-analytic is used to describe the relationship of a phenomenon, idea, data, or fact that is found objectively. This study found that the rights, dignity, standard of living, and even the working environment of informal sector workers are still neglected by labor law in Indonesia today. The national labor law has not accommodated legal protection, guarantees, and social security, so there is a legal vacuum for informal sector workers. This condition contradicts the philosophy of Pancasila and the constitution, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Thus, efforts to develop labor laws are expected to be carried out by the government together with the legislature to make all parties have the same position in the production process for the achievement of the company's progress. will have implications for national economic growth. On the other hand, this effort is expected to create legal harmonization in the field of employment in general and especially for informal sector workers in the welfare state in Indonesia.

Published: September 2022

Inter-ethnic marriages are relevant markers of the blurring of ethnic boundaries, and they show the degree of integration of the society. Mixed marriages between Russians and Kazakhs were previously rare, despite the continuance of side-by-side residence and tolerant relationships. Among the impediments were the concerns of the Kazakhs about the loss of ethno-cultural traditions and subsequent assimilation. The situation changed since the mid-1990s, when the accelerated urbanization and modernization led to the increase in the number of mixed marriages among the Kazakh population. In this article, main trends in the development of marriages between the Russians and Kazakhs are shown with the example of urban residents of Petropavlovsk from the mid-1990s to 2020. The aim of the work is to study the factors contributing to the intensification or blocking of inter-ethnic mar-riage and to analyze the impact of inter-ethnic marriages on ethno-cultural attitudes and identity. The source base of the study comprised the materials of the act books of the state registration of the civil status acts from the city department of the Civil Registry Office of the Department of Justice of the North Kazakhstan region. The trends identified in the materials of the Civil Registry Office were verified by conducting ethno-sociological studies. The research showed a steady increase in the number of marriages between the Kazakhs and Russians and a change in the attitude of the Kazakhs on the mixed marriages in a positive direction. The analysis of the socio-logical surveys indicates a positive or neutral attitude of the majority of the respondents to the very fact of mixed marriage and its further consequences. Quantitative data on the city of Petropavlovsk confirm the long-term trend of increase in the number of marriages between the Russians and Kazakhs. Qualitative changes are represented by the involvement of Kazakh women in marriages with Russians, since previously such marriages were a rare exception. Inter-ethnic marriages between the Kazakhs and Russians has a profound effect on preservation of ethno-cultural traditions, shifting them towards a «European» family with such characteristics as gender equality and individual choice. However, mixed marriages between the Russians and Kazakhs do not lead to the formation of hybrid and panethnic groups, there is no construction of new ethnic borders. The choice of identity is made primarily by the father. The increase in the proportion of the urban Kazakhs leads to the intensification of inter-ethnic marriage and formation of a two-part local community due to the assimilation of ethnic minorities.
