Abstract. A better understanding of glacial ice flow and how it is influenced by internal deformation is required to improve the projections of future sea-level rise in a warming climate. Especially large ice streams, the main contributors to solid ice discharge to the ocean, still require more observational data to be represented sufficiently in numerical ice-sheet models. The East Greenland Ice-core Project (EastGRIP) successfully drilled the first continuous deep ice core through an active ice stream, the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), focusing on investigating the dynamical processes that lead to its exceptionally high velocity. Here, we show Crystallographic Preferred Orientations (CPO) data in 5–15 m depth resolution throughout 2663 m, down to bedrock, to determine the deformation regimes in this ice stream setting complemented by grain-size and borehole temperature profiles for context. A broad single-maximum CPO pattern is present in the upper 200 m caused by overlying snow and ice layers. Below, a crossed girdle CPO is observed for the first time in a deep ice core and we discuss possible formation mechanisms. Between 500 and 1230 m of depth, we observe a vertical girdle CPO indicative of along-flow extensional deformation. A complementary simple-shear component and polygonization explain the CPO between 1230 and 2500 m, a vertical girdle with horizontal maxima of varying strength. Close to bedrock, a multi-maxima CPO originates from migration recrystallisation due to high temperatures close to the pressure melting point. Ice at this depth is characterised by centimetre-large, amoeboid-shaped grains, which, together with the conductivity data from the deepest 260 m, indicates that the core contains ice from the last Eemian. A comparison with other deep ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica shows the uniquely fast development of CPO at shallow depths in the EastGRIP ice core due to its location in an area of high strain rates while the grain-size evolution with depth remains similar to less dynamic sites confirming that it is mainly governed by the varying purity of ice deposited during varying climatic conditions. We further show that the overall plug flow of NEGIS is characterised by many small-scale variations, which remain to be considered in ice-flow models.
June 21 and 25, 2015 CMEs interaction's results on Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere
Authors: Sabri Somaiyeh , Poedts Stefaan
Published: October 2024

Abstract. This research utilizes the Gorgon-Space code to simulate the behavior of plasma in the magnetosphere due to its capacity to replicate a vast area. Having a good understanding of the solar wind's characteristics, its relationship with the Earth's magnetic field, the various plasma populations in the Earth's magnetic field, and how they are connected to the ionosphere is greatly dependent on the explanation provided by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma. Moreover, the European Heliosphere Forecasting Information Asset (EUHFORIA) serves as a mathematical tool to investigate the movement of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) within the solar wind and, more importantly, determine their estimated arrival time on Earth. To sum up, the research results indicate that the simulation programs EUHFORIA and Gorgon-Space demonstrate a strong correlation in simulating these intricate interactions between the sun and Earth. Additionally, it was observed that when CME1 interacts with Earth, it generates a significant electric potential in the ionosphere. It was discovered that the increased electric potential in the ionosphere is also responsible for accelerating particles.

Authors: Majid Mohammed Mahmood  , Sami Abed Sabreen , Sami Abd Mortadha , Mohammed Ali Al-Garawyi Abeer
Published: October 2024

Objective: Oral candidiasis infection is more prevalent in diabetic patients. There are numerous factors that can exacerbate the colonization of Candida species in the oral cavity, including salivary pH disorders and xerostomia. The study aimed to evaluate Candida spp. resistance to antifungal agents and compare their colonization levels in diabetics and nondiabetics oral cavities.
Methods: We conducted the investigation from February 2023 to April 2023. We conducted the following analyses after collecting 100 oral samples: gram stain, culture on Sabaroud dextrose agar, and direct microscopic inspection. The Vitek 2 System confirmed the yeasts through carbohydrate assimilation profiles.
Results: Out of 100 oral samples cultured, 69 yielded Candida species. Fifty-two samples were from diabetics and 17 were from nondiabetic patients. The frequencies of isolated Candida species, including C. albicans, were 28, C. tropicalis 17, C. krusei 16, C. glabrata 6, and C. dubliniensis 2. The results indicated that C. albicans exhibited higher resistance rates against clotrimazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole than the no albicans Candida species. Clotrimazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole, on the other hand, showed no effect on 11, 29, and 18 samples for all Candida species, respectively.

Conclusion: C. albicans was the most prevalent Candida species in people with diabetes; however, other Candida species were common. Fluconazole and nystatin often treat oral Candida infections.

LEGAL REGULATION OF THE TURNOVER OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THEIR INHERITANCE
Authors: Zhanabilova Assel Bulatkaziyevna
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the state of legal regulation of the turnover of digital assets in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the possibility of their inheritance. The legislation governing digital assets classifies them as property. At the same time, digital assets are divided into secured and unsecured. The article shows that a secured digital asset certifies the right to tangible, intellectual services and assets, with the exception of money and securities, and is accordingly associated with objects already familiar to the law. In this regard, the release of a secured digital asset is possible only after checking the availability of its collateral. In addition, the person who owns the digital asset is known according to the stipulated legal requirements. The activity of a person issuing secured digital assets is subject to licensing. There are no special restrictions for persons acquiring such assets. The article notes that an unsecured digital asset is not associated with any property that exists independently of electronic and digital technologies and digital mining is required to create it. The subject of the relationship regarding an unsecured digital asset can be a miner, as well as the owner of informatization facilities. The release of unsecured digital assets is subject to licensing. The turnover of such assets is possible only on the territory of the «Astana» International Financial Center. Thus, digital assets can be alienated by their owners during their lifetime, which means they can pass to heirs after their death. Solving practical problems of licensing unsecured digital assets, centralizing the control of their turnover will streamline the issues of legal regulation of electronic digital technologies and their inheritance at the national level. Thereby, digital assets can be alienated by their owners during their lifetime, which means they can pass to heirs after their death. Solving practical problems of licensing unsecured digital assets, centralizing the control of their turnover will streamline the issues of legal regulation of electronic digital technologies and their inheritance at the republican level.
PROBLEM ASPECTS OF ACHIEVEMENT OF CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT GOALS
Authors: Urbisinova Nurgul Erkinovna , Kaliakperova Elena Nikolaevna
Published: October 2024

The authors of the article consider the key problematic aspects affecting the achievement of the goals of criminal punishment in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main attention is paid to the issues of the effectiveness of punishment, the problems of the resocialization of convicts and the functioning of the penitentiary system. Nowadays, we are witnessing a constant increase in the crime rate, both in the world as a whole and in Kazakhstan in particular. The criminal community is becoming more organized and professional, their fields of activity are expanding, and more and more people are becoming part of the criminal environment. This trend is accompanied by the low efficiency of judicial institutions for the protection of citizens' rights and the destruction of the crime prevention system, which forces the population to conclude that it is necessary to strengthen repressive measures to counter crime. However, despite the importance of punishment in the prevention of criminal offenses, there are two main strategies in the criminal policy of Kazakhstan: tougher responsibility for serious crimes on the one hand and the use of more humane non-custodial penalties for less serious offenses on the other hand. The authors propose specific mechanisms for improving the goals of criminal punishment and designing a system of types of punishments. When determining punishment, the court should be guided by the norms of the Criminal Code, which define the system and types of punishments, as well as the principles and basic rules for its appointment. The article analyzes the current system of punishments, identifies its shortcomings, and suggests ways to eliminate them. As part of this analysis, it is proposed to amend and supplement a number of norms of the Criminal Code.

The article examines some issues of legal regulation of criminal offenses against aquatic biological resources. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problems associated with the qualification of illegal extraction of aquatic biological resources, as well as to consider effective recommendations for improving legislative and law enforcement practice based on the study of fundamental principles. The relevance of the topic is justified by the social value and significance of both the subject and the object of the studied type of environmental criminal offenses. The issue of determining the object of the offense is complicated by the possibility of competition of norms, the article examines the mass destruction of fish resources, considered by articles on illegal fishing of fish, aquatic animals and plants, and non-compliance with the rules for the protection of representatives of the animal world. The work examines some aspects of the objective side of the act with the definition of characteristics that determine the external impact on a natural resource, the environment. In addition, the complexity of the blank dispositions may make it difficult to determine the composition of the offense. Therefore, for the correct application of the articles under study in the law enforcement activities of state bodies, there is a need to consider legislative acts in the field of environmental legislation, since this is the feature manifested in the interaction of environmental tort and criminally punishable encroachment on an environmental object. Various aspects of criminal prosecution for offenses against aquatic biological resources are considered in this article with the opinions of scientists, researchers in both criminal and environmental law; statistical data showing the dynamics of offenses in the studied area compared to last year, as well as places where these offenses were registered.

Published: October 2024

This article examines the issues of the content of the institution of the presidency in national legislation, while studying the legislative experience of foreign countries on this issue. The implementation of the principle of separation of powers on the basis of the political regime and form of government established in the state can have an impact on the formation of a model of presidency peculiar to a certain state. The development of the institution of the presidency has determined the emergence of a classification of its models used by foreign countries in accordance with their customs and traditions. The paper examines the features of the institution of the presidency in its various models, including in relation to a semi-presidential, presidential, parliamentary republic, as well as in countries with an authoritarian political regime. Special attention is paid to the concept of super-presidency, which has been developed in the CIS countries. The article examines the characteristics of the super-presidential form of government in relation to Kazakhstan, analyzing the causes and features of its implementation. Based on the consideration of the normative and actual status of the first person of the state, the peculiarities of the presidency in the Republic of Kazakhstan are determined. In addition, the question of the responsibility of the head of state to the people is raised. The definition of the degree of responsibility of the president becomes relevant in the light of constitutional innovations regarding the restriction of holding this position, joining political parties and the occupation by close relatives of the president of the positions of political civil servants, heads of quasi-public sector entities. Therefore, the work highlights some aspects of regulating the responsibility of the head of state and possible ways to resolve them.
THE CONCEPT OF THE SYSTEM OF LEGAL PROTECTION OF OBJECTS WILDLIFE AS A RESULT OF INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Bessarab Natalia Sergeevna
Published: October 2024

The problems of the legal regime of the results of creative activity related to wildlife and humans have acquired special scientific significance and practical value in many countries, including Russia and Kazakhstan. Therefore, research on the development of concepts for the adaptation of the intellectual property law system as a sub-branch of civil law, the definition of the legal regime of new wildlife objects resulting from intellectual activity, and their integration into the already existing legal system, have a strategic level of state tasks aimed at achieving a balance of public and private interests, especially in the field of biomedical technologies and genomic experiments that create very significant risks not only for the living humanity, but also for future generations. Taking into account the above, this article presents the results of a scientific analysis conducted in order to develop a theoretical concept for building a system of legal protection of wildlife objects as the results of intellectual activity and to make proposals for improving legislation in the field of intellectual property law. Based on the results of the study, it is proposed to modernize the system of law in the field of intellectual property in terms of objects of wildlife, including new objects in addition to existing breeding achievements, namely: strains of microorganisms, genetically modified organisms, biomedical cell products, genomes, and other results of intellectual activity created using human and animal biomaterials, including birds, fish and other representatives of fauna, and provide them with an independent legal regime. The revision of the last object "other results ..." allows you to leave the list of wildlife objects open in order, if necessary, to introduce another innovative object into the intellectual property system, providing it with an appropriate legal regime, without additional changes to the law.
INTERNATIONAL LEGAL REGULATION OF THE TERRITORY OF STATES AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY

Published: October 2024

This article analyzes the actions of international documents establishing the principles of territorial integrity and inviolability of states in modern conditions. Despite the fact that relations between the countries have international legal regulation, military conflicts in the world do not cease due to territorial claims. Most conflicts originate in the depths of centuries, in which it is difficult to recreate the true historical circumstances and assess the validity of the claim of one or another disputing party. The article analyzes conflicts arising from territorial disputes from the perspective of international law. Based on international legal norms, there are legitimate ways to change state borders. For example, the most common of them, in order to achieve a peace agreement that satisfies the disputing parties on the establishment of state borders, is a treaty. In addition, through purchase, lease, artificial increment, by secession from the country, or on the contrary, reunification, states can increase or decrease the borders of their territories. In the 90s, in connection with the collapse of the USSR, the so-called "parade of independent countries" began, which led to the formation of new states and related procedures for the delimitation and demarcation of borders. The establishment of borders took place in various conditions. If in some cases an agreement was reached without difficulty, in others, the arrival of a general consensus was delayed for decades, as in the example of the division of the Caspian Sea between five states. This procedure lasted 22 years and ended in 2018 with the adoption of the Convention on the Status of the Caspian Sea.

Authors: Aguinaga Villegas Maricielo , Asensio Muñoz Isabel Inmaculada
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN Como vía de mejora de los sistemas educativos, resulta necesario que los docentes reciban una formación de calidad en materia de investigación, con el fin de que puedan consumir eficazmente la producción científica que se realiza en su ámbito de competencia y para que ellos mismos lleguen a ser investigadores sociales e innovadores. Este trabajo se centra en el análisis del currículo de la formación inicial docente de las carreras de Educación Primaria en cuanto al desarrollo de competencias de investigación, con el fin de complementar la investigación que sobre el tema se está desarrollando en España e Iberoamérica. El objetivo es caracterizar los planes de estudio según su orientación y organización curricular y evaluar su funcionalidad, como una dimensión de calidad educativa. MÉTODO Se analiza el contenido de los currículos de tres universidades peruanas, seleccionadas por muestreo no probabilístico de casos homogéneos y por conveniencia, mediante un enfoque cualitativo de codificación abierta con Atlas.ti 9. RESULTADOS Se obtiene mayor prevalencia de los desarrollos procedimentales y se evidencia coherencia entre la organización de los contenidos y el perfil profesional, que a su vez refleja una respuesta favorable a las exigencias y expectativas sociales, lo que constituye un indicador de calidad de los programas. Se detectan espacios de mejora, como que las tres universidades dedican un bajo porcentaje de asignaturas al desarrollo de competencias de investigación, pese a ser este un eje orientador de su estructura e incluirse en el perfil del egresado como opción de desempeño profesional. DISCUSIÓN En consonancia con lo aportado por la investigación en este contexto, se sugieren estrategias de mejora como trazar vínculos con otras asignaturas, de recursos estadísticos o informáticos, que podrían aumentar el impacto de estas competencias en los currículos.
Perspectivas de investigadoras y profesoras no universitarias en la divulgación y el acceso a la ciencia en España

Published: October 2024

Las redes sociales se han convertido en herramientas clave para la divulgación de las investigaciones y el acceso a la ciencia de las investigadoras y profesoras no universitarias. Sin embargo, existe una brecha digital y de género entre los hombres y las mujeres de este colectivo. El objetivo de esta investigación cuantitativa con perspectiva de género es comprender cómo las investigadoras y profesoras perciben y usan las redes sociales para transmitir un conocimiento que generan. Para ello, se administró una encuestra validada a 486 personas investigadoras y 463 profesorado no universitario (256 y 277 mujres respectivamente). Los resultados muestran que no existe una percepción positiva de la utilidad de las redes sociales para la diseminación, divulgación y acceso al conocimiento científico debido a que prevalecen los formatos tradicionales, son empleadas en mayor medida para la diseminación que para la divulgación y no se hace un uso extendido de las mismas. Este hecho favorece la invisibilización y trayectoria académico-profesional de  las investigadoras y la pérdida de acceso al conocimiento son empleadas en mayor medida para la diseminación que para la divulgación y no se hace un uso intensivo ni extendido de las mismas. Este hecho favorece la invisibilidad y trayectoria académico-profesional de las investigadoras y la pérdida de acceso al conocimiento por parte de las profesoras no universitarias. Por tanto, se recomienda aumentar la formación de ambos grupos, así como promover una transformación cultural y organizativa de las instituciones educativas para garantizar que las mujeres usen las redes sociales de manera más intensa y continua para la divulgación y acceso a la ciencia.

Published: October 2024

Las transiciones durante educación secundaria son momentos clave, ya que las decisiones académico-profesionales adoptadas por los jóvenes, supeditadas por diversos factores, condicionan su futuro. Identificar las principales influencias posibilitará que la práctica orientadora pueda atenderlas, asegurando, en los jóvenes, el máximo provecho de sus oportunidades reales. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar, desde la perspectiva de adolescentes y familias, qué factores influyen en la toma de decisiones académico-profesionales de los jóvenes atendiendo a variables como género y país de residencia. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de encuesta, en el seno de una investigación más amplia, empleando un cuestionario para la recogida de datos y utilizando técnicas estadísticas de tipo descriptivo y contrastes de hipótesis. La muestra está conformada por 487 adolescentes y 283 padres/madres, tutores/as o representantes legales de cinco países europeos. Los resultados revelan similitudes y diferencias entre la percepción de familias y jóvenes sobre los factores influyentes en la toma de decisiones, así como entre países y género. Destaca el núcleo familiar como influencia central en las decisiones adoptadas, constituyendo, entre otros, un referente profesional. Desde el punto de vista de las familias, se constata su influencia en las labores de asesoramiento sobre el futuro académico-profesional de sus hijos/as. Se manifiesta la importancia de reforzar la orientación en educación secundaria, implicando a todos los agentes educativos, fundamentalmente, a las familias, con el propósito de que los adolescentes afronten satisfactoriamente los procesos de toma de decisiones y respondan críticamente a las influencias existentes.
Escuela y familia: por una alianza necesaria para la prevención de los estereotipos de género en la adolescencia
Authors: Villar Varela Milena , Barreiro Fernández Felicidad , García Sánchez Alba María
Published: October 2024

Los estereotipos de género permean el imaginario colectivo de la sociedad, en general, y de la adolescencia, en particular, debido, en parte, a la socialización diferenciada ejercida por la familia y el sistema educativo. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, el trabajo que se presenta tiene como objetivos fundamentales examinar la presencia de estereotipos sexistas, en el ámbito familiar y en el ámbito académico, en el alumnado que cursa Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia y analizar la posible existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en función del sexo, en dichos estereotipos. Para ello, se ha utilizado un diseño no experimental de carácter transversal, de corte descriptivo, a través de un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc y aplicado a una muestra de 379 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (50,7% chicos y 49,3% chicas). Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que, si bien el alumnado presenta una buena disposición hacia la igualdad de género, esta es mucho más acentuada en las alumnas que en los alumnos, en los dos ámbitos objeto de estudio (familiar y académico). Estos resultados permitirán establecer pautas de actuación, tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde el ámbito familiar, de forma que ambos agentes de socialización puedan actuar de forma cooperativa en la erradicación de los estereotipos de género.

Published: October 2024

The role of verbal encouraging phrases (VEP) in education has garnered significant attention in recent years, as educators and researchers alike seek to understand the factors that enhance student motivation and academic performance. The researchers designed two research objectives to execute the study were as; to find out the difference based on gender perceptions in the role of verbal encouraging phrases and the academic achievement of students in secondary level; to examine the relationship between the scores of verbal encouraging phrases and students' academic achievement. The current study was a descriptive research that was designed to investigate the role of verbal encouraging phrases in students' academic achievement at secondary school level. The researchers selected the sample of 350 secondary school students from the population. A research questionnaire was developed to collect data from the respondents. The evaluation of academic performance was based on task completion time and accuracy. Preliminary findings suggest a significant positive correlation between the use of verbal encouraging phrases by educators and heightened academic motivation among students. Further analysis reveals that the used of verbal encouraging phrases (VEP) is strongly associated with improved academic achievement, underscoring the importance of verbal reinforcement in educational settings. The study's outcomes highlight the critical of verbal encouragement in fostering a motivating learning environment, thereby contributing to enhanced academic performance. These insights provide valuable implications for educational practices, suggesting that educators should strategically employ verbal encouraging phrases to boost students' motivation and academic success.

Published: October 2024

This paper, based on the findings of the research project sponsored by Sindh Higher Education Commission, attempts to study the impact of BISP on the voting behaviour of women in district Sanghar, Pakistan. Sanghar is one of the largest districts of Rural Sindh in terms of population and area, which is comprised of 6 talukas. The population of district is more than 2 million and around half of the population of district is female. There are mainly two large political parties in district Sanghar which secure most of the seats of national as well as provincial assemblies. However, after the launching of Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) in 2008, the results of elections have turned in favour of one party. In last general elections 2018 Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) bagged 6 out of 9 seats as compared to 0 seats out of 9 in 2002. Thus, the study has selected the Sanghar district as model to assess the impact of BISP on voting behavior. Mixed method research approach was employed to collect data for this study. Total of 1079 face-to-face structured questionnaires were administered and 12 focus group discussion (FGDs) were conducted in six talukas of the district.  The results demonstrate major change in the voting behavior of voters in district Sanghar. The findings of the study suggest the significant impact of BISP on the voting behavior of women in Sanghar district.

Published: October 2024

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a major health concern in tropical and subtropical countries. Indonesia has DHF cases perennially every year. On the other hand, Indonesia is abundant with seaweed (Sargassum duplicatum), which can be found across its seashore. The macroalgae contains secondary metabolites with ovicidal activity; hence, it has the potential to be utilized in suppressing the Aedes aegypti. The aim of this study was to determine the ovicidal activity of S. duplicatum against the Ae. aegypti eggs. The algae were macerated with ethanol 70% before being subjected to qualitative phytochemical screenings. The ovicidal tests were conducted with an extract concentration of 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm, 1000 ppm, and 1500 ppm, while distilled water was used as the control. The hatchability of Ae. aegypti was observed 24 hours a day for 4 days and the larval development was investigated under a microscope. Phytochemical screenings revealed that the extract was positive containing alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, and phenols. The hatchability of Ae. aegypti eggs were significantly reduced following the S. duplicatum extract exposure for four days (p=0.000). The extract had LC50 of 828.653 ppm and LC50 of 1786.09 ppm for the ovicidal activity against Ae. aegypti eggs. The concentration of ethanol extract of S. duplicatum did not affect the mosquito development from larvae to adult stage (p=0.263). Further research is needed to explore the effect of specific compounds contained in the S. duplicatum and investigate their ovicidal potential.

The research was carried out in the administrative area of Yernjatap settlement, Aragatsotn marz, Aparan region, RA. This was at an altitude of 1850 m above sea level. Soil studies were conducted on about 1 hectare of arable land. The area is located in the steppe land zone. It was planned to investigate the shallow tillage (disking) in preventing degradation processes and increasing the efficiency of cultivated land in the investigated land area. For this purpose, field and laboratory analyses were carried out to study the soil quality characteristics. Soil sections were placed at the experimental sites. The percentage of humus content, mechanical composition, amount of water-soluble salts, soil reaction (pH), and provision of macronutrients in the soil samples were given according to the depth of each soil section. As a result of using traditional and shallow soil tillage methods, the agrophysical and agrochemical properties of the studied soils were revealed.

Bu çalışma, istihdamda eğitimde veya öğretimde olmayan (NEET) gençlerin, istihdam ve eğitiminden kopma nedenlerine, karşılaştıkları engellere, yaşadıkları sosyal kırılganlıklara, psiko-sosyal durumlarına ve beklentilerine ilişkin nitel bir araştırma sunmaktadır. Çalışma, yaşları 15 ile 24 yaş arasında ve tamamı NEET olan 17 gençle yapılan derinlemesine görüşmelere dayanarak, gençlerin deneyimlerini kendi anlatılarıyla yorumlamaktadır. Bulgular, eğitimden istihdama geçişteki zorluklar, kötü çalışma koşulları, eğitimin niteliği ve süresi gibi yapısal faktörlerin gençlerin eğitim veya istihdam dışında kalmalarının neden olduğunu gösteriyor. NEET gençler, kendilerini geçindirememe ve başkalarına yük olma gibi maddi kaygılar yanında gelecek hakkında belirsizlik endişesi, huzursuzluk, özsaygıda azalma, sosyal çekilme ve izolasyon, depresyon, duygusal boşluk gibi psiko-sosyal sorunlar yaşamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amprik temelli kavramsal sonuçlarına dayanarak, sosyal açıdan hassas olan NEET gençlere yönelik genel ve müdahaleci yaklaşımın aşılması ve kişiselleştirilmiş bir yaklaşımın benimsenmesinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
Do Global Excellence Initiatives Lead to an Increase in Research Productivity: The Case of Kazakhstan’s World-Class University
Authors:   University of Calgary, Kuzhabekova Aliya , Karibzhanov Iskander ,   Bank of Canada
Published: October 2024

Global excellence initiatives have been widely implemented across various regions to elevate the quality and standing of higher education institutions. The establishment of world-class universities have been one of the most frequent approaches within the global excellence initiatives. A notable example of the successful establishment of a novel world-class university is Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, which is expected to transform Kazakhstani society by training high-qualified cadre, stimulating research and innovative activity in the country, and serving the larger society in terms of intellectual leadership and global citizenship initiatives. Despite the great promise, the university has been greatly scrutinized for the financial burden associated with its creation and maintenance. The public attention, however, has not resulted in a sufficient number of studies evaluating the various impacts of the university on Kazakhstani society and the Central Asian region at large. This study attempts to fill the gap by analyzing bibliometric data from the Web of Science to estimate the effect of the creation of Nazarbayev University on research productivity measures in Kazakhstan. More specifically, interrupted time series is applied to the data panel from 2000 to 2010 to determine whether trends in research productivity measured in terms of the number of publications, number of citations, and the size of the scholarly community (as a proxy for research capacity strengthening effect) have been affected by the establishment of the world-class university in the country. The study fills the existing gap in prior research on global academic excellence initiatives and world-class universities by suggesting quantitative insights on the research productivity effects of the initiatives.

Published: October 2024

The expected increase in the number of people suffering from dementia is intertwined with the ageing Nordic population. More and more older adults will live with dementia diseases impacting their everyday lives.The Nordic societies are trying to adjust to this challenge and to the rising needs of good dementia care. In parallel, mounting evidence on the efficacy of dementia prevention encourages the Nordic countries to upgrade their preventive work, and to mitigate the effects of cognitive decline in the population.This report explores dementia prevention in the Nordics and provides examples of preventive policies and practices. It also reviews these measures in relation to current evidence on dementia prevention, striving to strengthen Nordic co-operation in the field.The report describes the current policy and practice of dementia prevention in Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland with Åland Islands. Methodologically, the knowledge base for this report rests on a descriptive analysis extracting, systematising, and presenting data from literature and documents, individual interviews, and information and discussion from a reference group.
