The article is devoted to solving the problem of reducing the number of young specialists in the civil service system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Currently, the task of attracting talented and young specialists to the civil service is one of the priority and strategic in the framework of the ongoing professionalization of the state apparatus. This is due, firstly, to the growing shortage of qualified specialists in many areas of public service activities, and secondly, to the increased competition in the labor market for young and talented staff. In these conditions, public bodies have to compete with organizations of private and quasi-public sectors, which often offer more attractive financial conditions when hiring employees. In this regard, in order to overcome the possible negative consequences of these trends, as well as to effectively attract and retain talented personnel in the civil service, it is necessary to work comprehensively, providing not only for the introduction of advanced approaches to entering the civil service, but also for the creation of attractive conditions for being in it. The purpose of this study is to analyze the domestic practice of stimulating the attraction of young people to the civil service, as well as to develop recommendations aimed at increasing the attractiveness of civil service for talented young people. This study reviews domestic and foreign literature on the subject, analyzes the current model of attracting young people to the civil service, identifies the problems of staffing the civil service and career preferences of young people, as well as recommendations to improve the attractiveness of public service and prevent the outflow of talented young personnel.

Data were collected using a training motivation questionnaire and the Scott motor ability test, which consisted of basketball throw, 4-second run, wall pass, and long jump. Data were analyzed using a two-way factorial ANOVA test. The research results show that the kasiti ball training model is more effective than fortification training. Furthermore, there is an interaction between the form of training and motivation: the basic movements performed in the kasiti ball training are superior to the strengthening ones for children with high training motivation, while the baseball training is better than the of strength for those with low motivation. This finding is important as it informs children's basic movement skills through specific exercises.

: Injury or wound is damage to the structure or function of the body due to physical force or pressure. This study aims to analyze the risk of injury in young footballers in terms of the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) based on static balance scores. This study used a descriptive observational research method. The subjects were 31 young footballers (age 13.6±0.5 years, BMI 19.5±2.2 kg/m², TD 15.5±10 months). The data collection instrument involved FMS and Stand Stork Test (SST). The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. This study found that the FMS score with a high injury risk category was 6.45% in the SST poor category. Meanwhile, FMS scores in the moderate injury risk category were 19.35% in the SST moderate category, 32.25% in the SST poor category, and 3.25% in the SST very poor category. FMS scores in the low injury risk category were 6.45% in the moderate SST category and 32.25% in the poor SST category. The conclusion is that SPSS soccer academy students have a potential risk of injury in the moderate category and a static balance level in the less category. In addition, after reviewing the results of FMS scores based on SST scores, it can be concluded that FMS scores in the moderate category are found in samples with poor category SST, which is 32.25%. This study suggests improving static balance to prevent the risk of sports injuries in young footballers. Similar research in the future is also recommended, especially the one that uses other physical component variables and different research sample characteristics.

This paper analyses the effect of the tax rate on industrial profits on industrial production in sub-Saharan Africa. A Seo and Shin dynamic threshold panel model was specified and estimated for this purpose. Using data from the World Bank (WDI) over the period 2005–2021, the results from the estimation of the dynamic threshold model show that there is a threshold from which the effect of the tax rate on profits of industries becomes negative on industrial value added. This is a threshold of 20,47% of the tax rate on industrial profits. Beyond this threshold, the effect of the rate of this type of tax becomes negative on industrial production in Sub-Saharan Africa, precisely in the 25 countries taken into account in this study. The study therefore recommends the implementation of policies favourable to broadening the tax base and moderate tax rates.

The main target of the new coronavirus infection (COVID19), spread by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, is the respiratory system. SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause kidney damage, and severe renal dysfunction is more common in patients with chronic comorbid/multimorbid disease, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. A search was made for literature on the association of major diseases (pathological conditions) of the kidneys and urinary tract with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in electronic search engines PubMed, Scopus, eLIBRARY. The found literary sources indicate that the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 certainly has a specific effect on the urinary system in general, and in particular, on certain diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.
Common variable immunodeficiency: difficulties in timely diagnosis (clinical case)

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) belongs to the group of primary immunodeficiencies with a predominant deficiency in antibody synthesis and the most common diagnosis among clinically significant cases of primary immunodeficiency in adults. The main laboratory criterion for this disease is considered to be hypogammaglobulinemia (a decrease in the level of IgG less than 4.5 g/l with a decrease in the level of IgA, with/without a decrease in the level of IgM). Clinical manifestations of CVID are diverse: infectious syndrome (chronic infections of the lower respiratory tract, sinusitis, otitis, infectious diarrhea, septic arthritis), autoimmune syndrome (cytopenias, systemic rheumatic diseases), non-infectious pathology of the gastrointestinal tract (celiac-like or IBD-like syndromes , nodular hyperplasia of the mucosa), interstitial lung diseases, pathological non-malignant lymphoproliferation (lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly), oncological diseases, the formation of non-caseating granulomas in the internal organs). Due to the lack of a typical clinical picture, the diagnosis of CVID in adults is often made many years late, especially if the clinical picture is dominated by non-infectious manifestations. The article presents a clinical case when the patient had recurrent lymphadenopathy as the main symptom for several years. After examination by various specialists, she was referred to an immunologist because hypoproteinemia and a sharp decrease in the gamma fraction of globulins have been revealed. An immunological study revealed agammaglobulinemia and a pronounced imbalance of T-lymphocyte subpopulations (a significant decrease in the number of CD4+ cells and an increase in CD8+ cells). The clinical significance of T-lymphocyte disorders in CVID, the need for treatment with adequate doses of intravenous immunoglobulins are discussed.
Psychosomatic patients at a gastroenterologist appointment

Digestive diseases are closely associated with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, studies have shown that symptoms of mood disorders in most patients with digestive tract diseases often cannot be recognized by doctors by gastroenterologists, and 40–90% of patients with psychological problems do not receive proper medical services and treatment. Functional gastro-intestinal disorders (FSID) have a significant impact on daily activities and quality of life, and cause great economic hardship due to direct medical costs and loss of productivity. FGID are psychosomatic diseases that are divided into esophageal, gastroduodenal, intestinal, functional abdominal pain syndrome, biliary and anorectal disorders. The article provides various pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of psychosomatic FGID. The article also presents several typical clinical cases of FGID. The principles of treating these disorders with an emphasis on psychotropic therapy are described.
