Development trends of the Kazakhstani labor market in the context of economic transformation
Authors: Yeralina E. M. , Izguttiyeva K. Y.
Published: December 2024

The labor market, like any other market, is affected by the economic situation developing in the country. At the same time, its condition and the indicators characterizing it act not only as bright indicators of the general socioeconomic situation of society, but also signal the emergence, deepening and growth of various problems associated with increasing social tension. This paper summarizes various approaches to defining and characterizing the labor market, and provides a comprehensive analysis of trends, magnitude and dynamics of factors influencing the current state of the labor market, its features in the distribution of employment among the population and directions of transformation. The studied aspects and factors significantly transform traditional relations in the labor market. Changes occurring in this area affect both working conditions and the process of labor activity itself. This leads to the disappearance of some professions and the emergence of new ones, which, on the one hand, can cause fluctuations in the unemployment rate, and on the other hand, increase the requirements for the qualifications of potential employees. The current situation requires urgent measures to organize the coordinated activities of various economic agents aimed at monitoring and regulating relations in the labor market.

Published: December 2024

El síndrome de ovario poliquístico (SOP) es una alteración endocrinológica prevalente en mujeres en edad reproductiva, con impacto significativo en la salud pública y una prevalencia global estimada entre el 6% y el 20%. Su etiología es multifactorial, involucrando componentes genéticos, hormonales y ambientales. Se caracteriza por hiperandrogenismo, disfunción ovulatoria y una morfología ovárica característica en ultrasonido. Las pacientes con SOP tienen un riesgo elevado de desarrollar comorbilidades como diabetes mellitus tipo 2, síndrome metabólico y enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico (EHGNA). Esta última afecta al 40-50% de las mujeres con SOP y se considera una manifestación hepática del síndrome metabólico. El SOP y la EHGNA comparten factores fisiopatológicos como la resistencia a la insulina, el hiperandrogenismo y la inflamación crónica. Ambos trastornos incrementan el riesgo cardiovascular y requieren un enfoque multidisciplinario para su diagnóstico y tratamiento. El manejo incluye cambios en el estilo de vida, regulación hormonal mediante anticonceptivos orales combinados y manejo metabólico con metformina. Además, las terapias emergentes como el uso de probióticos y vitamina D muestran beneficios potenciales. El presente artículo revisa los criterios diagnósticos internacionales para SOP, incluyendo los establecidos por los Institutos Nacionales de Salud y las guías de Rotterdam. Se resalta la importancia de un diagnóstico temprano para prevenir complicaciones a largo plazo y mejorar la calidad de vida de las pacientes, subrayando la necesidad de investigaciones futuras para optimizar el manejo integral de estas condiciones clínicas complejas.

Authors: Nitin Tejmal Kale  , Dr. Amit Aggrawal
Published: December 2024

Virtual Net Metering (VNM) is an innovative policy initiative introduced by the Maharashtra Government through the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) to promote renewable energy adoption and enable consumers to benefit from offsite solar energy generation. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Maharashtra's VNM policy, its operational framework, potential benefits, challenges, and implications for residential, commercial, and public entities. VNM allows multiple energy users to share the benefits of a single renewable energy generation system, particularly beneficial for entities lacking the capability or space to install their own renewable energy resources. Under VNM, energy generated from a shared or offsite solar installation is allocated to multiple participants based on their energy consumption, and corresponding credits are applied to their electricity bills. The Maharashtra government has established a framework for VNM implementation, outlining key components such as registration, energy trading, tariff structure, and grid integration. VNM offers several advantages, including increased solar adoption, improved grid stability, reduced carbon footprint, and economic benefits. However, challenges exist in terms of technical infrastructure, regulatory constraints, and consumer awareness. Case studies from global examples provide valuable insights into the practical implementation and outcomes of VNM programs. Recommendations to overcome challenges and ensure successful VNM adoption in Maharashtra include public awareness campaigns, stakeholder collaboration, regulatory reforms, incentive programs, and pilot projects. VNM represents a significant advancement in Maharashtra's pursuit of a cleaner and more inclusive energy future, empowering residents to manage their energy consumption and costs while promoting sustainable energy practices. It also assesses how VNM promotes energy democratization and improves grid stability through decentralized energy systems.
Çöl Romancısı İbrahim el-Kûnî ve Edebî Kişiliği
Authors: Demir Ethem
Published: December 2024

Doğuş evresini Muhammed Huseyn Heykel’in kırsal yaşam temalı Zeyneb adındaki romanıyla tamamlayan Arap romanı, tarih temalı Necib Mahfûz’un romanlarıyla önemli bir merhale katetmiştir. Birçok farklı temayla kaleme alındığı görülen Arap romanının önemli bir temayı eksik bıraktığı görülmüştür. Eksik bırakılan söz konusu tema ise çöl izleği olmuştur. Bu eksiği çok iyi fark eden İbrahim el-Kûnî ise kollarını sıvayıp bu manada onlarca roman kaleme almıştır. Çöl temalı birçok romanında çölün zannedildiği gibi ıssız, çorak ve izole edilmiş verimsiz bir coğrafya olmadığını aksine çölün temiz havasıyla, vefalı insanıyla ve sakin ortamıyla müthiş bir coğrafya olduğunu anlatmıştır. Okurları çöl temalı romanlarla tanıştıran Kûnî, söz konusu romanlarında insanın çöl ve doğa ile ilişkisinde hayatın anlamına ve varlığın özüne inmeye çalışmıştır. Çöl temalı yazdığı onlarca romanı sebebiyle çöl romancısı olarak isimlendirilen Kûnî, on iki yaşında Arapçayı öğrenmesine rağmen Arapça yazdığı romanlarında müthiş mitolojik ve felsefi bir dil kullanmıştır. Söz konusu dili hikâye, edebiyat araştırmaları, eleştiri, dil, tarih ve siyaset ile ilgili eserlerinde de kullanan Kûnî, bu anlamda önemli bir kültürel mirası geride bırakmıştır.
Mâlikîlerin Necâsetler ve Kadınların Özel Halleriyle İlgili Cumhura Muhalefet Ettiği Bazı Fıkhî Meseleler
Authors: Tekin Abdülkadir , Şahin Osman
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada İmam Mâlik’in/Mâlikîlerin necasetler ve kadınların özel halleriyle ilgili üç sünni mezhep başta olmak üzere cumhura muhalefet ettiği ve bu mezhebin karakteristiği haline gelen bazı temel meselelerden yola çıkılarak onların Hicaz bölgesi kaynaklı bir mezhep olarak eser çizgisinde mi rey çizgisinde mi yahut bu iki arasında olup esere mi daha yakın olduğu ihtimallerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu noktada Mâlikîlerin ve diğer mezheplerin muteber klasik kaynakları ile “ihtilâfu’l-fukahâ” türünden eserlere müracaat edilmiştir. Ele alınan örneklerde Mâlikîlerin görüşleri şöyledir: Suların pislenmesi konusunda Mâlikîler suyun azlık ya da çokluk ölçüsünü değil suyun rengi, tadı ve kokusu gibi temel vasıflarından birinin değişip değişmediğini esas alarak hüküm vermişlerdir. Eti yenen hayvanların idrar ve dışkıları konusunda eti yenen hayvan necis bir şeyler yeyip içmemişse bunların hem idrarları hem de dışkılarının temiz olup, namaza engel olmadığı görüşünü benimsemişlerdir. Köpeğin kendisinin ve yaladığı kabın temiz olup olmadığı konusunda Mâlikîler köpek ve domuz dahil canlı olan her hayvan -necis bir şey yemiş olsa bile- temiz olduğu görüşünü savunmuşlardır. Hayzın herhangi bir alt sınırının olup-olmadığı noktasında bunun alt bir sınırının olmadığı ve bir defalık kanama yani kısa bir müddet kanın gelmesinin âdetin sübutu için yeterli olduğunu görüşünü benimsemişlerdir. Âdetli kadının Kur’an okuması meselesinde ise bu durumda olan kadının Kur’an’a dokunmasının yasak olduğu, fakat onu dokunmadan okuyabileceği görüşünde olmuşlardır. Hatta öğretici veya öğrenci olanlar zaruret miktarınca eğitim amacıyla ruhsat hükümden faydalanarak Kur’ân’a hem dokunabilir hem de onu okuyabilir. Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde İmam Mâlik’in/Mâlikîlerin maslahat ve istihsanı kullanmada öne çıkan bir mezhep olarak reyi kullanmakla birlikte, genel olarak nasların umumundan veya mutlaklığından hareket ettikleri, görüşlerine aykırı özel nasları mutlaka usule ait bir yöntemle te’vil ettikleri yahut cerh ve ta’dil yoluna başvurdukları veya meşru gerekçeleri olan istihsan yoluyla terk ettikleri, dolayısıyla esere daha yakın oldukları ve Hicaz fıkhını temsil ettikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Sosyal Kelâm Açısından Mu’tezile’ye Dair Bir Değerlendirme:Vâsıl B. Atâ Örneği
Authors: Altay Saadet
Published: December 2024

İslâm düşünce tarihine dair yazılanlar, çoğu zaman tarihsel ve toplumsal gerçekliklerden ziyade, tarihin bize aktardıkları yanlı ve yanıltıcı bilgiler üzerinden şekillenmektedir. Doğal olarak tarihsel ve toplumsal gerçekliklerle birlikte sosyolojinin ve hatta iktisadın genel geçer kuralları dikkate alınmaksızın yapılan değerlendirmeler, ilmî olmaktan uzak olduğu için doğru bir sonuç ve ona uygun bir etki de yaratamamıştır. Özellikle inanç formuna büründürülerek mezheplerin düşüncelerini değerlendiren yaklaşımlar, mensubu olduğu ve zaman zaman da ötekileştirdiği diğer mezhep mensuplarının düşüncelerini doğru bir şekilde anlama yerine, onu reddetmek üzere ve yanlışlamak amacıyla okumaktadır. Eş‘arî sonrası ve Eş‘arîlik sistemi içinde biçimlenmiş kelâmî yaklaşım, Mu‘tezile’ye reddiye olarak ifade edilebilecek bir temelde konumlanmıştır. Doğal olarak olgudan ziyade, Ehl-i hadîs olarak nitelendirilebilecek ve bütün sorunların cevaplarının, tarihin belli bir dönemine ait değerlendirmeler üzerinden bulmaya çalışan bir yapı biçiminde şekillenmiştir. Dinamik olan toplumun, her döneme ait sorunlarının da dinamik bir yapı oluşturduğu muhakkaktır. Kelâm ilminin teşekkül sürecine bakıldığında toplumsal sorunları göz önünde bulunduran ve çözüm önerilerini bu minvalde üreten bir bakış mevcuttur. Uzun süre varlığını böyle devam ettiren kelâm ilmi, tarihsel süreç içerisinde neredeyse tamamen teoriye sıkışan bir disiplin haline gelmiştir. Modern dönem ile birlikte yeni sorunlar, yeni tartışma alanları hâsıl olmuş ve yeni bir bilgi yöntemi ve metodu ile tartışmalar yapılmıştır. Kelâm ilminin de yeniden asli hüviyetine kavuşabilmesi adına yeni bir yöntem ve metodun geliştirilmesi gerekliliği dile getirilmiş ve Yeni ilm-i kelâm, sosyal kelâm gibi kavramlar ortaya atılmıştır. İlk çıkış sürecinde kelâmın hayat ile iç içe olduğu, sosyal ve siyasal olana göre şekillendiği, çözümlerin de toplumun gerçekliği göz önünde bulundurularak üretildiğini söyleyebiliriz. Bu anlamda her ne kadar isimlendirme bu şekilde olmasa da uygulamanın sosyal kelâma denk gelecek biçimde olduğunu ifade edebiliriz. Vâsıl b. Atâ özelinde Mu‘tezile’nin temel beş temel ilkesinin aslında sosyal kelâm olarak nitelenebilecek bir perspektifle oluşturulduğunu göstermeyi hedefledik.

Quantile Time-Frequency Connectedness between Carbon Emissions, Traditional and New Energy: Evidence from COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Authors: Jiang Wei , Guo Xiaoliang , Bi Sifeng
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the spillover effects associated with diverse market conditions in energy and carbon markets, encompassing both new and traditional energy sectors. Using a quantile vector autoregression approach, this research explores the dynamic interactions among carbon emissions, traditional energy, and new energy from January 1, 2019, to July 28, 2023. Firstly, the research findings presented in this article reveal a significant spillover effect under extreme conditions, whether the change is highly positive or negative, with increases observed from 26.67% to 76.15% and 74.19%, respectively. Secondly, during the Russia-Ukraine conflict and COVID-19 pandemic, the interaction among carbon emissions, traditional energy, and new energy intensified, transforming their roles in the context of spillover effects. The negative spillover effects in the new energy and carbon markets position them as effective hedging tools. Finally, the pandemic and conflicts have underscored the increasing importance of new energy, particularly in the long run, as evidenced by the significant expansion of spillover effects in the new energy market. These findings inform policymakers and ecological investors in developing effective policies and tailored investment strategies across various frequency ranges.

El desafío del lenguaje privado. Wittgenstein, la comunidad lingüística y la crítica de Kripke
Authors: Rodríguez Garat Cintia Daniela
Published: December 2024

En este breve ensayo me interesa analizar el concepto de lenguaje privado desarrollado por Ludwig Wittgenstein. La importancia radica en el desafío que plantea esta noción cuando nos ponemos a pensar sobre las posibilidades reales de un lenguaje puramente privado. En este sentido, el argumento del enfoque wittgensteiniano sostiene que el significado de las palabras no se origina en experiencias subjetivas individuales, sino en la interacción social dentro de una comunidad de hablantes. De modo que, si cada persona tuviera un lenguaje exclusivamente privado, la comunicación sería imposible. Por ello, el objetivo de este escrito se centra en debatir si efectivamente el lenguaje es un fenómeno colectivo, arraigado en prácticas compartidas y acuerdos tácitos, o bien, puede tratarse de una construcción personal subjetiva. En síntesis, para examinar este planteo me centraré en el argumento propuesto por Kripke contra el lenguaje privado, y desde allí, analizaré la paradoja escéptica de Wittgenstein.
Use of digital learning materials for inclusive education
Authors: Itagaki Shizuka
Published: December 2024

This paper introduces a case study of the effects of a digital textbook called “Multimedia DAISY textbook” for a student with learning difficulty. A multisensory material called “DAISY” is considered to be ideal for educating students with learning difficulties. In Japan, DAISY has been helpful for students with learning difficulties, especially when they study in regular classes, trying to keep up with their classmates. The number of DAISY users has been increasing. According to the survey, in 2023, 24,560 students used DAISY in Japan. DAISY is expected to become more prevalent among and familiar to students with learning difficulties, their parents, and the schools they attend. In this case study, a junior high school student with reading difficulties studied English via DAISY for about a year. Through the interview, it was found that DAISY helped the student not only increase his test scores but also his self-esteem and motivation to study English. The results of the case study suggest that to achieve a truly inclusive education system, it is essential to help students with learning difficulties to keep up with classes, gain confidence in their learning and improve their self-esteem by providing them with individualized support they need.
Designing pedagogically cured interface of the CAPTinI system for practising pronunciation in L2 Icelandic
Authors: Bédi Branislav , Friðriksdóttir Kolbrún , Richter Caitlin L. , Guðnason Jón
Published: December 2024

We are presenting a methodological approach in designing a pedagogically curated user interface of the computer-assisted pronunciation training in Icelandic (CAPTinI)[1] system, an online tool for practising pronunciation in Icelandic as a second or foreign (L2) language. This online tool provides learners with examples of segmental features, e.g., vowels and consonants, in letters of the alphabet, words, phrases, and sentences, that are pre-recorded by first-language (L1) speakers of Icelandic. Learners can listen to these recordings and practise pronunciation by repeating out loud. With the recording functionality, the system captures learners’ utterances and provides instant feedback. Although this online tool is still in development, we focus on applying a twofold approach in its design: (a) theoretical underpinnings in pedagogy for teaching L2 Icelandic pronunciation in a traditional teaching environment, and (b) an analysis of existing online tools for training pronunciation in various languages online, to inform its design. Thus, this paper presents the process of designing the CAPTinI tool and presents the features that we found useful for learning and practicing pronunciation in L2 Icelandic online.[1] https://captini.tullius.dev/login
Chinese Easy Corpus: An effective tool for teaching Chinese as a second language
Authors: Chang Li-ping , Chou Chun-Ting
Published: December 2024

The Chinese Easy Corpus (CEC) is a resource developed to support teaching Chinese as a second language (CSL). CEC simplifies the use of corpus tools to promote the widespread use of corpora and the implementation of data-driven learning (DDL) in CSL classrooms. DDL engages learners with authentic language examples from corpora, enhancing vocabulary acquisition, grammatical mastery, and long-term memory retention. However, when corpora are applied in teaching environments, large general corpora are often criticized for their less intuitive interfaces and for providing sentences that are not well-suited for learners’ needs, which can overwhelm both teachers and learners. To address these issues, CEC draws insights from effective corpus tools like SkELL and Learner’s Sõnaveeb, creating a more user-friendly and pedagogically appropriate resource. It incorporates Good Dictionary Examples (GDEX), which selects suitable example sentences based on metrics such as sentence length and word difficulty. Additionally, CEC improves Chinese word segmentation, enhancing the reliability and ease of sentence retrieval. With its streamlined interface and refined data retrieval, CEC caters to the specific needs of CSL teachers and learners, reducing technical obstacles and encouraging the use of DDL. Future efforts will focus on refining CEC’s functions, user interface, and GDEX algorithms, guided by feedback from practical applications in DDL courses.
AI-powered tools in English pronunciation classroom: An action research report
Authors: Vančová Hana
Published: December 2024

The constant development of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has been recently enriched by implementing artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The ability of the AI to process the learner’s input and interactively move it forward towards accomplishing a communicative goal distinguishes it from automatic speech recognition (ASR) used thus far. In this way, AI-powered tools help develop learners’ foreign language proficiency across all language layers, including pronunciation. The presented study aims to report recent experiences implementing AI-powered tools in a pronunciation classroom EFL context gained through action research. The study participants were first-year English students who were asked to explore the potential of AI-powered tools in improving their pronunciation through tasks imitating real-life communication and accuracy-aimed tasks. At the end, the participants were invited to complete a questionnaire focusing on their perceptions and experience with the tools. Their answers provide insight into their attitudes and allow for formulating recommendations for their implementation in English pronunciation classrooms. In particular, the less proficient participants appreciated conversation with a chatbot because it allowed them to practice communication in different scenarios. On the other hand, more advanced participants preferred tools providing explicit and guided feedback.
Effective use of foreign languages as a prerequisite for Erasmus+ mobility – a study among secondary school students
Authors: Gajek Elżbieta
Published: December 2024

Studying abroad requires a specific set of social competences, psychological predispositions, educational and intercultural skills, including the ability to function in the digital academic environment. A candidate needs to have functional proficiency in a foreign language (multilingual and plurilingual) at least at the B2 level (preferably C1), even to start practicing digital skills as a prerequisite for application. The better prepared they are, the more they can achieve. The earlier they start thinking about studying abroad, the easier it will be for them to take advantage of the opportunity. The study examines secondary school learners’ readiness for Erasmus+ mobility in terms of their attitudes, intentions and confidence in their own linguistic and social abilities. An online self-report survey was conducted among 243 learners aged 16-17 in three secondary schools in Warsaw, Poland. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results show that most of them are well prepared in terms of language skills, but they lack institutional support to overcome uncertainties related to the use of language in academic and digital environments as well as some aspects of their well-being during their stay abroad. Some recommendations for schools on how to prepare young people for future challenges have been drawn from the findings.

Background

Kadoma City has experienced repeated cholera outbreaks. The latest occurred in 2024 and affected all 17 administrative wards. In March 2024, a Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) survey was conducted to inform planning and implementation of cholera preventive interventions.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted employing a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. A sample size of 609 was calculated, and stratified sampling method was used to select households from which one member aged 18 years or above was interviewed. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire and analyzed using Epi Info 7.2.5™. Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data analysis.

Results

We recruited 611 respondents with a median age of 31 years and majority, 399 (65.3%) were females. Three hundred and ninety-three (64.3%) respondents had completed secondary education, and 273 (44.7%) were self-employed. Drinking contaminated water was reported by 497 (81.3%) as a mode of cholera transmission while 525 (86.9%) reported handwashing with soap after visiting the toilet as a critical preventive measure. Overall, 356 (58.3%) had high knowledge of cholera. Attitudes were positive, 399 (65.3%) respondents agreed that cholera could be fatal if untreated, while 367 (60.1%) agreed that oral cholera vaccine (OCV) was an effective protective measure. Three hundred and thirty-seven (55.2%) reported disposing waste in refuse pits, 288 (47.1%) used plastic bins for collection by the council, and 127 (21%) reported disposing waste in neighborhood heaps. When asked about the preferred methods of receiving health related information, 413 (67.7%) preferred door-to-door campaigns and 345 (56.5%) preferred short message services (SMS).

Conclusion

Respondents demonstrated good cholera knowledge and positive attitudes, though gaps in sanitation were noted. We recommended improving waste collection in the city and incorporating health promotion messages in council utility bills and SMS sent to residents.

The Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God in Kitay-gorod, erected "by the vow" by the Queen Natalia Kirillovna in 1691-1694 and destroyed in 1934, is the most famous temple building of this queen, her patron saint's day coincided with the day of celebration of the Presentation of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God (August 26, old style). The newly revealed graphic materials (dimensional drawings) allow us to more accurately imagine the architecture of the lost temple, which belonged to a certain typological direction of the Naryshkin style. The main single-domed tiered volume of the church with a rectangular altar was erected in 1691-1692, and the refectory was added two years later. The temple had a separate bell tower with cells of the clergy. The materials presented in the article allow us to more fully imagine the appearance of the lost monument, identify the sources of compositional and decorative solutions, as well as assess the role of the royal order in the spread of the Naryshkin style both in the Moscow region and in the provinces.
