In recent decades, the government of Kazakhstan has been actively addressing the problems of single-industry towns, paying significant attention to this area and continuously developing support measures. Out of 89 cities in Kazakhstan, 27 are single-industry towns, home to approximately 1.4 million people, with over 30 town-forming enterprises. The development program for single-industry towns was implemented in several key directions, which remain relevant today. These include economic diversification, developing small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), increasing employment levels, and developing engineering infrastructure. Within the program, single-industry towns were categorized into three groups: towns with high, medium, and low development potential. Towns with low development potential include Arkalyk in the Kostanay region and Zhanatas in the Talas district of the Zhambyl region. Single-industry towns with high development potential include Zhanaozen, Zhezkazgan, and Aksay, as well as Khromtau in the Aktobe region and Balkhash, Temirtau in the Karaganda region. Single-industry towns continue to face unresolved issues, such as population decline, depletion of natural resources, industrial production downturn, deteriorating infrastructure, and weak economic diversification.
Research objective: To assess the effectiveness of support measures for entrepreneurs in the single-industry town of Khromtau and their impact on improving the quality of life. This research provides insights into how entrepreneurship support measures affect the development of Khromtau, a town dependent on natural resources. Additionally, it offers a deep understanding of the social and economic consequences of entrepreneurship support measures, which is crucial for the sustainable community development of single-industry towns.

The country's innovative development guarantees the trustworthy capacity of future periods. In Kazakhstan, spatial development of regional territories is relevant for academic circles and the business community. The basis of this study is whether Kazakhstan has the potential to form a scientific and technical direction of development in the presence of existing opportunities for the dynamic development of regions. In this study, such scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, generalization, as well as an integrated approach, analytical review, abstraction, and logical analysis were used. The analysis showed that not all regions of Kazakhstan have positive changes: the number of research institutes is decreasing, and the number of research specialists performing R&D does not increase. However, we can note a sharp growth rate in the number of enterprises, as well as the implementation of R&D in terms of high investment activity in the country. In this regard, we note that the preparation of Kazakhstan to become one of the best states in terms of competitiveness is based on long-term planning to increase the position of innovation vitality of organizations, upgrade the innovation climate in the country, increase the share of investments in scientific modernization and convergence of business and science. Thus, the main outcomes of this research show that regional differences in economic development illustrate the uniqueness of conditions for each of them, the development of which shows positive dynamics and changes. The innovative trail of development of Kazakhstan is at an early stage. However, the accumulated experience of this country can rightfully be considered an example for many other countries.

Een spontaan pneumomediastinum bij een fitnessbeoefenaar: casusbespreking
Authors: Steyaert A. , Verhoeven I.
Published: January 2025

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum in a fitness enthusiast: a case report

Case: An 18-year-old young man presents with sudden pain in the neck and recent onset hoarseness. The patient reports a palpable subcutaneous sensation in the shoulders and neck region. He recently started fitness training (weightlifting). Clinical examination reveals a mild tachycardia and bilateral subcutaneous emphysema in the thoracic region. No other significant findings are noted. A chest CT-scan reveals significant pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium accompanied by subcutaneous emphysema in the cervical base, prepectoral, and axillary regions. The patient is admitted for 24-hour observation after which he was discharged from the hospital.

Discussion: Spontaneous pneumomediastinum (SPM) is a rare condition characterized by free air in the mediastinum. This can occur due to a sudden increase in intrathoracic pressure, which causes alveolar rupture, allowing air to enter the interstitial space. Potential complications include pneumopericardium, tension pneumothorax, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumorrhachis. Symptoms may include dyspnoea, chest pain, neck pain, cough, odynophagia, and dysphagia. A clinical examination may reveal subcutaneous emphysema and crepitus with each heartbeat. Nevertheless, 30% of patients with uncomplicated SPM are asymptomatic, necessitating the use of imaging studies for diagnosis. While chest X-ray is the gold standard, CT-scans may be useful to exclude other diagnoses. Conservative therapy is usually sufficient (symptomatic management), although any potential complication should be identified and treated appropriately.

Conclusion: SPM is a rare condition primarily encountered by emergency physicians, but also by general practitioners and sports physicians. While it may not be the most likely diagnosis for thoracic pain, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Once complications are ruled out, conservative treatment can be pursued.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the role of trust(TR)in mediating the impact of electronic word of mouth (EW) and security(SE)on cryptocurrency purchase decisions(PD). A cross-sectional survey design was employed, and data were collected through 330 distributed questionnaires, of which 320 valid responses were retained after validation steps that included confirming prior cryptocurrency usage. The sample consisted of active cryptocurrency users in Indonesia, aiming to explore the relationships between EW, SE, attitudes(AT), perceived behavioral control(PB), TR, and PD. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data and test the hypothesized relationships. The findings highlighted that TRsignificantly mediated the effects of both EWand SEon PD, underscoring TRas a crucial factor in the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, the study revealed that PBplayed a significant role, particularly in mediating the relationship between SEand PD, suggesting that consumers' confidence in managing transactions greatly influences their purchasing behavior. The results contribute to the literature by validating an integrated model that combines key factors influencing cryptocurrency PDand extending the Theory of Planned Behavior by incorporating EWand SEas antecedents. The study provides practical implications for cryptocurrency platforms and marketers, emphasizing the need forrobust security measures, positive EWmanagement, and user-friendly interfaces to foster TRand enhance consumer engagement in the cryptocurrency market.

Proposed Risk Management Framework for the Development Waqf Asset Portfolio in Malaysia
Authors: Wan Ab Rahaman Wan Mohd Al Faizee , Ishak Suhada
Published: January 2025

The lack of a focused risk management division within the waqf organisation of The State Islamic Religious Council (SIRCs) in Malaysia has resulted in financing limitations owing to exposure to unmanaged risks. Moreover, the lack of this division indirectly impacts the overall waqf operational activities, particularly the development of the waqf asset portfolio. Consequently, it is imperative to establish a risk management section inside the SIRCs waqf organisation to enhance the performance and reputation of the endowment, which is perceived to be deteriorating. This study will analysis the challenges and issues that lead to risk exposure, as well as the causes contributing to the absence of a risk management division inside the waqf organisation. The analysis of suitable risk management strategies will thereafter be included in the primary findings of this study. This study employed semi structured interview and content analysis, which will then be analysed descriptively. This study identifies the absence of a systematic risk management strategy in waqf operations, highlighting a lack of initiatives to address risk exposure effectively within waqf organizations. To overcome this gap, an integrated risk management mechanism, based on the COSO Enterprise Risk Management framework, is proposed. The findings underscore the framework’s potential to mitigate risks, enhance governance, and support the development of a sustainable waqf asset portfolio, ultimately ensuring better accountability and long-term benefits for stakeholders.
Institutional Coordination Challenges in Service Delivery the Case of Water Supply in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
Authors: Y. E Kachenje
Published: January 2025

This paper presents challenges related to institutional coordination of actors across systems of municipal services delivery, using the case of water supply in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Towards the end of the 20th century, municipal services delivery in the country and other developing countries underwent myriads of institutional reforms, which led to increased participation of private and community-based actors, along with the conventional public actors. Such dynamisms influenced the coordination processes and the rules that determined how such actors related and pursued their respective roles. Despite a number of studies in this subject, a knowledge gap still existed on the challenges that affected coordination of multiple actors. The paper therefore discusses the factors against effective coordination of actors in municipal services delivery, and recommends how such factors could be overcome. The instruments of data collection included key informant interviews, focus group discussions, household interviews and document analysis. The study found out that the challenges that hindered effective institutional coordination in municipal services delivery included multiplicity of competing actors; insufficient responsiveness of actors; and lack of clear collaboration mechanisms for actors of different institutions. As such, poorly enforced institutional reforms contribute to poor accountability in the coordination processes, and subsequently poor performance of the water supply sub-sector. Although studies have indicated the importance of water vending in many cities of developing countries, this study did not involve it, as the researcher considered water vending to be a wide sub-system that requires more time and attention as a separate entity.

Protecting the safety of children is paramount, especially during their school hours and commutes. However, awareness regarding child protection through Islamic financial practices like takaful and waqf remains limited. This paper proposes the development of an integrated School Takaful Smartwatch with real-time location monitoring and a value-added Waqf platform. In this regard, the Waqf platform will be featured on the School Takaful Smartwatch subscriber’s Mobile Application as an additional value to facilitate donations to fund the underprivileged school children (B40 students) for the School Takaful Smartwatch Policy. The assistance to the B40 students will be implemented using a takaful waqf-based approach, departing from the traditional takaful model with waqf principles that contribute to a charitable endowment fund. This product aims to bridge the gap between child safety, technological advancements, and the underutilized potential of waqf. Data gathered from interviews with parents, takaful agents, and schoolteachers from diverse communities ensure that the product is designed to meet the specific needs and explore perceptions of its users. Representing a novel approach to child safety, financial security, and charitable giving in Malaysia, this solution has the potential to revolutionize school children’s safety, promote financial inclusion, and contribute significantly to the takaful landscape. Collaboration with the parent-teacher association will ensure active involvement in school safety initiatives and keep parents informed about the positive impact of waqf contributions, ensuring the device becomes an integral and valued tool in promoting the safety and well-being of their children.

Zakat is one of the basic obligatory acts of worship which is carried out by giving some of a person's assets to people who are entitled to receive them with the aim of realizing social justice in society in general. With its form of giving, zakat is often considered to only provide momentary benefits and tends to be consumptive in nature. However, zakat can also take the form of gifts that can provide long-term benefits that tend to be productive. This study explains how mustahik use zakat funds with the final result being a solution that can be implemented by Baitul Mal Lhokseumawe City in increasing the use of productive zakat to improve the welfare of street vendors (mustahik) in their area. The research method used is empirical juridical through observations and interviews with Baitul Mal related to zakat. Based on the results of research that has been carried out, the management of productive zakat in Baitul Mal Lhokseumawe City needs to be improved, especially when carrying out the controlling or supervising function of zakat that has been given to street vendors (mustahiq).
