Published: July 2024

Relevance. The relevance of the conducted study is due to the rather low level of development of the healthcare system in Kazakhstan, in connection with which problematic aspects arise in the segment of labour relations in this industry. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyse the regulatory legal acts of Kazakhstan on the legal regulation of the labour of medical and pharmaceutical workers. Methodology. Such methods as logical analysis, functional analysis, deduction, dogmatic, formal-legal were used. Results. It was identified that at this stage Kazakhstan ranks last in terms of financing the health sector among 63 countries according to the World Health Organisation. It was also noted that salaries of medical and pharmaceutical workers are declining. The consequence of this is that most of the latter can emigrate to countries with more acceptable socio-economic conditions. An analysis of the legislative doctrines of foreign countries, namely France, Germany, and Sweden, was conducted. This provided an opportunity to identify the most acceptable factors and norms of labour law that allow ensuring a high level of functioning of the healthcare system in general and conditions for medical and pharmaceutical workers. Collisions of the fixed norms of Kazakhstan were also noted. Conclusions. The obtained results provided an opportunity to highlight problematic aspects of labour law in the examined industry, which helped to identify several recommendations that will improve the current legislation and increase the level of functioning of the healthcare system in general and allow Kazakhstan to reach a higher level in the international arena.

Authors: Issimova Ainash
Published: July 2024

Relevance. The article discusses the influence of military personnel participation in peacekeeping missions on the psychological state of their family members. This topic is particularly relevant amid growing global militarization and the need for effective regulation by peacekeepers. Purpose. The purpose of the empirical study is to identify the relationship between family identification and the ability of military personnel's family members to consciously overcome stress associated with peacekeeping missions. Methodology. The study involved family members of military personnel undergoing training and those who have already participated in a peacekeeping mission. Three questionnaires were used to collect data, focusing on perceived stress levels, conscious controllability, and family identification features. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that family identification significantly influences the ability of military family members to manage stress caused by participation in peacekeeping missions. The analysis identified four types of subjects differentiated by their levels of family identification and stress management capabilities. Family members with high family identification exhibited better stress management and adaptability. Conversely, those with low family identification struggled more with stress and showed lower adaptability. The study found a positive correlation between strong family bonds and effective stress management, highlighting the importance of family support in coping with the challenges posed by peacekeeping missions. Conclusions. The findings indicate that family identification is crucial in helping military families cope with stress from peacekeeping missions. This typology provides a basis for developing socio-psychological support methods, identifying risk groups, and offering targeted psychological assistance to different types of military family members. By understanding the specific needs and stress management capabilities of military families, it becomes possible to design more effective support programs that enhance resilience and well-being among the families of peacekeepers.

The purpose of this article is to promote an increased awareness of the processes for setting cut-scores for complex performance assessments by (a) describing the Analytic Judgment Method (AJM) for setting cut-scores, and (b) critically evaluating the technical adequacy and practicability of the AJM by focusing on one investigation where the AJM was used by Plake and Hambleton (2001) for setting standards on the Pennsylvania Grade 8 Mathematics Achievement Test. Although Plake and Hambleton (1998, 2001) demonstrate that the AJM is an attractive iterative procedure that uses independent judgments of actual student work, more research is necessary to replicate the results and determine whether the AJM would produce high interrater reliability with more traditionally sized panels of 20 or more representatives.
Setting Cut-Scores: A Critical Review of the Angoff and Modified Angoff Methods
Authors: Ricker Kathryn L.
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article is to review critically the Angoff (1971) and modified Angoff methods for setting cut-scores. The criteria used in this review were originally proposed by Berk (1986). The assumptions of the Angoff method and other current issues surrounding this method are also discussed. Recommendations are made for using the Angoff method. In addition, several issues that are relevant to cut-score setting that are not addressed by Berk’s criteria arose while reviewing the Angoff method. These issues are addressed separately.

The purpose of this study was to examine critically how family literacy is promoted and represented through the images and written texts on Web sites developed by providers of family literacy programs. Naturalistic research over the last 20 years or so demonstrates that the family is a rich site for supporting children’s literacy development across socioeconomic and cultural contexts. This research suggests that families engage children in a wide array of literacy activities in their daily experience. Furthermore, many significant others in addition to parents play important roles in children’s literacy development. In this study we examined a representative sample of family literacy Web sites from across Canada. Findings suggest that literacy tends to be narrowly defined; responsibility for children’s literacy is usually ascribed to mothers; and troubling assumptions about families as being deficient still persist.
Community Capacity-Building in Schools: Parents’ and Teachers’ Reflections From an Eating Disorder Prevention Program

A pilot research study to examine the effect of a wellness-based intervention on improving students’ body image, personal attitudes, and eating behaviors highlighted the importance of a healthy school environment. Parent and teacher focus groups were conducted to explore the perceived influences of wellness-based interventions designed for parents, teachers, and students. Results support movement toward wellness-based programming and suggest that school-community capacity-building may be a worthwhile framework for continued study in relation to programming to prevent eating disorders. Excerpts from focus group data illustrate key themes in relation to change and demonstrate the importance of capturing both the content of the wellness-based interventions and the process of interaction in the schools. This pilot study found that interventions in schools that focus on wellness and target parents, teachers, and students are effective in terms of building capacity for promoting positive change in students’ attitudes and behaviors.

Several techniques exist to measure the carrier and dispersed phases in multi-phase flows. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) analyzes the carrier phase by cross-correlating particle images, but its resolution is limited by the size of the interrogation window, making it difficult to resolve fine-scale turbulent structures. Particle tracking algorithms capture translational motion of dispersed particles well, but struggle with rotational motion, especially for irregular and aspherical particles. Currently, there is no method that universally measures both the carrier phase velocity field and the translational and rotational motions of dispersed particles. This study evaluates wavelet-based optical flow velocimetry (wOFV) for motion estimation in multi-phase flows, focusing on dispersed ellipsoidal particles and their surrounding turbulent carrier flow using synthetic image data. The research proceeds in two phases: first, the rigid motion of ellipses, including translational and rotational components, is analyzed using wOFV-generated dense motion fields. The results highlight the critical role of the regularization weighting parameter λ. Higher λ values improve translational motion estimation, while an optimal λ avoids under-regularization and non-physical structures in rotational motion. wOFV maintains accuracy in combined motion scenarios with optimal λ values. In the second phase, wOFV captures the turbulent carrier flow around an aspherical particle, benchmarked against DNS data and compared to PIV. wOFV outperforms PIV in resolving finer structures near the particle surface and in accurately representing the wake region. Error analyses confirm wOFV’s superior performance, with optimal results within a specific λ range. In conclusion, wOFV is a highly effective tool for the analysis of multi-phase flow dynamics, providing greater resolution and accuracy than PIV, especially in complex scenarios involving aspherical particles.
