Published: February 2025

This study aims to compare consumer purchasing behaviors between fast and slow fashion, highlighting their profound market implications and providing strategic guidance for businesses to develop more effective market strategies. It focuses on consumer decision-making processes, brand loyalty, environmental responsibility, and emotional drivers. In-depth analyses of fast fashion brands Zara and slow fashion brand Patagonia reveal the links between marketing strategies and consumer responses.The findings indicate that fast fashion consumers are susceptible to price and fashion trends, showing frequent purchasing behaviors and lower brand loyalty. In contrast, slow fashion consumers prioritize product durability and brand social responsibility, demonstrating higher brand loyalty and environmental awareness. Zara’s market dominance stems from its fast supply chain and low-cost strategies, while Patagonia gains consumer trust through eco-friendly marketing and transparent production. The study primarily relies on a literature review and corporate case analysis, lacking field research and consumer interviews. Data sources may be constrained by the timeliness and regional scope of existing literature. Cross-cultural differences are also not fully addressed. The findings provide strategic insights for fashion brands. Fast fashion brands should optimize supply chain management and strengthen environmental responsibility strategies to enhance long-term competitiveness. Slow fashion brands should reinforce brand storytelling and consumer education to expand market penetration. Fashion retailers can adjust product development, marketing, and supply chain management strategies based on the findings, balancing economic profitability and social responsibility. By raising consumer awareness, companies can achieve a win-win situation in environmental protection and market competition. This study highlights the importance of sustainable fashion development by comparing consumer behavior characteristics of fast and slow fashion. It provides a theoretical foundation and practical reference for academic research and corporate practices, opening new perspectives for future research.

Кіріспе. Зерттеудің өзектілігі Мұқан Төлебаевтың «Біржан-Сара» операсының Қазақстанның мәдени мұрасындағы маңыздылығымен анықталады. Зерттеудің мақсаты – Мұқан Төлебаевтың композициялық принциптері, интонацияға бай техникалары мен драмалық стратегиясының мазмұндық мәнерлілігі арқылы ашылатын Біржан бейнесінің музыкалық-драмалық дамуын талдау. Зерттеудің міндеттері Біржан бейнесінің музыкалық-драмалық құрамдас бөлігін қарастыру және М. Төлебаев Операсының бас кейіпкерінің вокалдық партияларының ұлттық мелосында және ерекше эмоционалды күшінде түйісетін  батыс еуропалық классикалық музыкалық дәстүріне тән музыкалық-драмалық элементтерді талдау болып табылады. Әдістері. Зерттеу тарихи және музыкалық-теориялық тәсілдердерді біріктіретін операның музыкалық-драмалық элементтерін талдаудың кешенді әдісіне негізделген. Ариялар мен речитативтерді зерттеуде музыкалық талдау, партияларды орындау ерекшеліктерін анықтауда вокалдық шеберлік пен орындаушылық техникасын талдау әдістері, сондай-ақ қарастырылып отырған феноменнің драмалық компонентін зерттеу үшін құрылымдық талдау әдісі қолданылды. Сонымен қатар, операның жасалу контекстіне тарихи-мәдени талдау жүргізіледі. Зерттеу барысында басты кейіпкер бейнесін ашуда үлкен рөл атқаратын Біржанның төрт ариясы ретімен талданды.
Нәтижелер. Зерттеу барысында Біржанның ариялары оның эмоциональды тереңдігі мен ішкі толғанысын көрсететін лирикалық сұлулығымен және мәнерлі қарқындылығымен сипатталатындығы анықталды. Біржан мінезінің түрлі қырларын бейнелейтін басты музыкалық тақырыптары айқындалды, ал олардың тоналды қарама-қайшылықтары кейіпкердің тұлғалық және эмоционалды өзгерістерін сипаттайды. Сонымен бірге Батыс Еуропа операларымен де салыстыру жүргізілді. «Біржан-Сара» операсының қазақ үшін ғана емес, әлемдік опера дәстүрі үшін де маңызы зор деген тұжырымдар жасалды. Зерттеу нәтижелері Біржанның көп қырлы музыкалық-драмалық бейнесін жасаудағы Төлебаевтың шеберлігін көрсетеді. «Біржан-Сара» операсы Қазақстанның мәдени мұрасын сақтап қана қоймай, сонымен бірге композиторлар мен орындаушылардың жаңа буын өкілдеріне де ықпалын жалғастыруда. Зерттеудің практикалық маңыздылығы композиция техникалары мен опера драмасындағы интонация тәсілдерін терең зерттеуде, сондай-ақ қазақ операсын одан әрі музыкалық зерттеу мүмкіндігінде жатыр. Зерттеудің болашағы операның кең мәдени контекстке әсерін зерттеуді және дәстүрлі және батыс еуропалық элементтерді біріктіретін басқа жұмыстармен салыстырмалы талдауды қамтиды.
“SIGNS OF NEWLYWEDS”: PECULIARITIES OF WEDDING PARAPHERNALIA DECORATION AMONG TURKIC PEOPLES
Authors: Shaigozova Zhanerke
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The complex of wedding attributes of Turkic peoples includes: yurt, carriage or riding animal, as well as the costume of newlyweds. Sufficient attention has been paid to the decoration of the wedding costume in science. However, the other attributes have not received due comprehension and illumination. We are sure that artistic and aesthetic labelling of wedding attributes in traditional culture was undoubtedly made with a special intention and carried certain information, representing the status of newlyweds. Hence, the purpose of this article is to investigate the meanings and values of the decoration of wedding paraphernalia in Turkic peoples, which is considered as visual “signs of newlyweds”. The sign nature of wedding attributes is investigated from the point of view of color symbolism, constructive features and ornamentation. The sources of different periods (pre-revolutionary and modern), as well as archival photographs and artefacts from museum collections (late 19th - early 20th centuries) served as materials for the study. The main methods of research are comparative, semantic and art history analysis. In the opinion of the author of the article, the synthesis of these approaches in the future may contribute to the analysis and reconstruction of the lost meanings of the decoration of other traditional products. The study allowed us to find out some features of the decoration of wedding paraphernalia, reflecting layers of archaic beliefs and ideas about the universe in Turkic culture, characterized by a common fundamental basis and differing in ethnic variants.
The article was prepared within the framework of the project of the Committee of Science Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan AP23488164 “Traditional and modern art of Kazakhstan in the focus of visual studies: iconography, semiotics and discourse”.
О некоторых аспектах взаимодействия этнопсихологии и музыкальной этнологии (на примере казахской традиционной музыки)
Authors: Айтуарова Ажар , Абельтаева Жанель
Published: February 2025

Взаимодействие этнопсихологии и музыкальной этнологии на примере казахской традиционной музыки, является актуальным в условиях глобализации, а также оказывает влияние на формирование этнической идентичности. Цель исследования — выявить роль традиционной музыки в поддержании психологического благополучия и этнической самобытности казахского народа. Исследование выполнено с применением комплексного подхода, включающего психологические и культурологические методы. Для анализа были изучены этнографические, философские и психологические аспекты казахской музыки, опираясь на труды казахстанских исследователей по символике и ценностям музыкальной культуры.
Результаты исследования показывают, что казахская традиционная музыка выполняет важные психологические функции. Ритуалы и обряды в казахской культуре выступают как средства психоэмоциональной регуляции, позволяющие участникам пережить сильные эмоции. Например, «Сынсу» и «Жоктау», помогают людям справляться с утратами и стрессом, айтыс, как  способ общения в момент состязания - снять внутреннее напряжение, разрешить конфликтные ситуации.  Инструментальные кюи передают скрытую информацию и поддерживают социальную гармонию, а кобызовая музыка способствует переработке трагических переживаний, выполняя психотерапевтическую роль. Казахская музыка имеет значительное этнопсихологическое значение, поддерживая духовное и психологическое благополучие сообщества. Перспективы включают дальнейшее изучение казахской традиционной музыки как ресурса для психотерапии, а также возможности использования вышеназванных музыкальных практик в современных психологических подходах.
An ontology-oriented approach to traditional dance: on the example of Kazakh dance.
Authors: Kuketov Berik , Shankibayeva Aliya
Published: February 2025

This article is of interest because it approaches traditional Kazakh dance using an ontological perspective. The importance of this method in studying traditional dance is clarified through the example of the Kazakh national dance "Kamyzhai." Kazakh art, which includes aitys (oral poetry contests), epic poetry, instrumental art, singing, dance, handicrafts, and sports traditions, occupies a special place in national culture. National art reflects the specific features of the people’s lifestyle and traditions. In recent years, discussions in Kazakhstan have intensified around the need to consolidate society and strengthen national identity based on the country’s historical heritage and cultural potential, which fosters connections between the past and the present. In his recent address, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the importance of preserving national heritage, considering it a relic passed down from ancestors to the new generation. This article presents a comprehensive ontologically-oriented study of the dance "Kamyzhai," which serves as an initial method for exploring traditional dance, revealing six key components of analysis: dance styles, context and symbolism, musical foundation, poses and movements, costumes and attributes, and traditional rituals and customs. These six main aspects of "Kamyzhai" reveal the connection between textual and dance content, illustrating the upbringing of a girl and her preparation for future social life. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that it is the first research of "Kamyzhai" based on newly discovered factual data. Additional methods used in the article include observation, analytical analysis, and comparison. This article will contribute to enriching the historical and theoretical significance of Kazakh dance, both in practical application and in the educational process.
МЕТОДОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ПОДХОДЫ В ИССЛЕДОВАНИИ ПРОБЛЕМ МУЗЫКАЛЬНОГО ИСКУССТВА
Authors: Елубаева Маржан , Кайсиди Иоаннис
Published: February 2025

В статье центральное место занимает анализ методологических подходов в качестве вспомогательных приемов в разработке проблем музыкального образования. В числе значимых подходов современной теории и практики научного и художественного познания выступает системно-целостный подход – значимый методологический принцип, важнейший метод процесса исследования. Содержательная направленность системно-целостного подхода включает в себя структурный анализ применительно к профессиональным проблемам музыкального образования, включая в себя: философский уровень в умении исследователя через «общее» выделять существенное «в отдельном» с учетом ее специфики; общенаучный уровень в создании методологической базы в различных художественных и научных областях знания; частнонаучный уровень в совокупности знаний, принципов и методов исследования в формировании профессиональной и личностной позиции исследователя.
Особую значимость в исследовании проблем музыкального образования имеет методологический подход принципа профессиональной направленности, главным критерием которого выступает логика использования философских, общенаучных и специальных положений, ставя исследователя перед необходимостью своеобразного «перевоплощения», то в положение «философа», то «психолога», «музыковеда», «педагога» и т.д., не упуская при этом свою основную цель – подготовку педагога-музыканта.
Заслуживает особое внимание методологический подход в соответствии с принципом диалектического единства всеобщего, общего и особенного в развитии творческой личности, согласно которому в каждом специалисте, независимо от профессии, присутствует как единичное и уникальное, так и особенное, общее.
Вызывает определенный интерес подход, основанный на интегральном принципе взаимодействия смежных видов искусств в выявлении оригинальных идей, нестандартных решений. Причем одним из влиятельных подходов к искусству является культурологический, в соответствии с которым выдвинут принцип культуросообразности, где все элементы исследования находятся в соподчинении содержания образа.
Изложенные методологические подходы в исследовании свидетельствуют о том, что каждый из них имеет свои структурно-содержательные элементы и функциональное значение с позиции реализации основной цели – формирования методологически подготовленной личности в области музыкального образования.
Impact of Trade Liberalization on Non-Oil Manufacturing Sector Output in Nigeria: 1981-2022
Authors: Abdulrahman Abubakar , Michael Akpan , Marvelous Aigbedion
Published: February 2025

The non-oil sector's contribution to the Nigerian economy has raised
concerns about whether or not the country has actually benefited from
trade liberalization over the years, especially when considering the
country's major non-oil manufacturing sector. It is against this background that,
this paper used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique to
investigate the short-run and long-run impacts of trade liberalization on the
output of Nigeria's non-oil manufacturing sector. The analysis utilized a unit
root test to integrate the data in a distinct sequence, and the ARDL Bounds tests
validate the co-integration, indicating a long-term equilibrium among the
variables. Non-oil manufacturing sector output is strongly stimulated by positive
changes in trade liberalization. The ARDL result shows that foreign direct
investment and export had a negative and insignificant impact of -654.5800 and
-0.000757 respectively. In a similar manner, import and exchange rate were
positive and statistically significant for non-oil manufacturing sector output in
Nigeria with value of 0.002375 and 73.74094 respectively. The findings suggest
that the Federal Ministries of Finance and that of Trade and Investments should
prioritize initiatives aimed at strengthening and expanding trade liberalization
policies. This involves reducing trade barriers, streamlining customs procedures,
and actively participating in regional and international trade agreements.
Health Expenditure and Industrial Productivity in Nigeria
Authors: Ugbaka Malachy , Ihuoma Mercy
Published: February 2025

The research investigated the relationship between health outcomes and
industrial productivity in Nigeria for the period 1990 through 2022 with
the use of the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methodology. The
study found that in both long run and short run period, changes in mortality rate,
morbidity rate, infant mortality, literacy rate and life expectancy significantly
affect the level of industrial productivity in Nigeria. However, in the long run,
while economic growth and labour productivity positively affect industrial
productivity, their impact on the dependent variable were abysmal. This
contradicts the short run significant relationship established between the
explanatory variables and the explained variable. Given the outcome of the
estimations in both long and short run periods, the study concludes that health
outcomes significantly affect industrial productivity in Nigeria. The study
submits that industrial productivity should be stimulated by providing better
healthcare services/facilities that will ensure reduction in mortality rate,
morbidity rate and infant mortality.

Authors: Ramli Suriana , Najwa Wan , Tan Azhari
Published: February 2025

The widespread COVID-19 epidemic has had a profound impact on
businesses all around the world by hastening their digitalization. The
operations of the airport are also being transformed to ensure business
continuity. The Malaysian government's mobility control order (MCO) requires
workers to work from home on alternate days. This working structure
necessitated requirements for active knowledge exchange behavior. This study
examines Airport Terminal Services (ATS) employees' knowledge sharing
attitudes, subjective standards, and perceived control behaviors using
quantitative method. The findings show that the associations between attitude
and perceived control behavior in knowledge sharing are moderate. The
respondents demonstrate weak relationships between subjective norms and
knowledge sharing. As a result, it is suggested that ATS should invest in
improving the subjective norm by developing a knowledge sharing culture
within the firm. A comprehensive knowledge management system that includes
data and information access, storage, and retrieval would allow the corporation
to continue operations regardless of the situation. Knowledge sharing is
accelerated via constant communication, staff engagement, and training.
Airport operations are vulnerable to a variety of unforeseen events, including
pandemics, natural disasters, and accidents. As a result, ensuring a resilient
design of work processes and workers' desire to embark on the change endeavor
is critical to corporate sustainability.
Impact of Selected Macroeconomic Variables on Per Capita Income in Nigeria (1990-2022)
Authors: Nwuju Oliver , John Aiyedogbon , Aigbedion Marvelous
Published: February 2025

Per capita, income is a crucial factor in determining economic growth and
productivity. However, statistics from 2015 to 2022 indicated that Nigeria has a low
and declining per capita income even in the class of developing countries in Sub-
Saharan Africa such as South Africa and a developing country of a similar population such
as Brazil. Arguably, effective management of macroeconomic variables such as broad
money supply, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and interest rate can lead to higher per
capita income. This study investigated the influence of selected macroeconomic factors on
the per capita income in Nigeria from 1990 to 2022. The study utilised time series data and
Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares technique to analyse the influence of selected
macroeconomic variables on per capita income in Nigeria. The results indicated among
others that broad money supply in Nigeria has a substantial and positive effect on per capita
income. This makes it a crucial variable among the macroeconomic factors that contribute
to the growth of per capita income in Nigeria. Conversely, the unemployment rate,
inflation rate, and interest rate impede per capita income. This is due to the adverse effect
that the rise in these three macroeconomic variables has on per capita income in the
country. The paper therefore, suggested that the Federal Government, through the Central
Bank of Nigeria, should regulate the quantity of broad money supply to ensure its
favourable influence on the enhancement of human capital in Nigeria. This could be done
by allocating more resources towards education and healthcare services, thereby fostering
human capital development. Also, lowering unemployment by implementing policies that
stimulate aggregate demand and promote a conducive environment for private sector
investors will enhance productivity and raise per capita income. Thus, the management of
these significant macroeconomic variables is key to the growth of per capita income in
Nigeria, hence, the paper also recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria in
collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, and the Federal
Ministry of Finance should effectively manage these selected macroeconomic variables to
enhance the growth of per capita income in Nigeria.

V.F. Ern’s judgments about the logos tradition of Russian thought which determines the unity of its leaders’ approaches to indigenous worldview problems, open up the prospect of reconstructing ideas about the sense and tasks of culture in the line of Russian philosophy that is connected with the idea of justifying history. The author of the present study proves that, opposing historiosophical pessimism and catastrophism, Russian Christian thinkers put forward the task of Churchification all spheres and plans of life, understanding culture as an instrument for transforming the world. Philosophers contrast the processes of its secularization with the liturgization of cultural doing, which is considered in the context of the “possession of the earth” commandment.
In this regard, N.F. Fedorov’s doctrine, who called for the transition from culture (as a symbolic resurrection) to recreature, i.e. the actual restoration of life, is of particular importance.

How the Russian Idea Can Get out of the Captivity of Intellectual Irrationalism
Authors: Bakshutova Ekaterina V. , Rulina Tatyana K.
Published: February 2025

The authors consider the problem of the cultural heritage of the Russian idea from the standpoint of mental structures that have historically developed and are currently relevant for the Russian society.
The Russian model of cognition is shown to be irrational and go back to Plato’s model of eidos, i.e. cognition as moral ascension rather than rationalization and abstraction. Striving for Alethea (the spirit of truth and sincerity), which acts as one of the markers of Russian culture, the spiritual self-determination of the people is still based on idealized mythologemes of a unique path, which devalues both its own rational and borrowed ideal.

Marshall-Olkin Power Hazard Rate Distribution with Associated Minification Process and Application
Authors: Elem-Uche O. , Okereke E. W. , Omekara C. O.
Published: February 2025

In this paper, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution of Marshall-Olkin family of distributions with the baseline model as power hazard rate distribution called the Marshall-Olkin Power Hazard rate distribution is introduced and its various structural properties are discussed. We examined different statistical properties like hazard rate function, quantile function, raw moment, incomplete moment and related measures, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, order statistics, Renyi’s entropy, stress-strength reliability, stochastic ordering, and compounding and geometric extreme stability. The model parameter estimation is carried out using maximum likelihood estimation method. The model’s flexibility is evaluated by two real datasets by comparing it with different related models, and its application in time series is studied by the Markovian first-order autoregressive minification process.
