Published: September 2024

El cultivo de zapallo Cucurbita moschata Duchesne ha cobrado interés por el alto valor nutricional del fruto; sin embargo, en las regiones productoras de Colombia, el riego para el zapallo es una labor empírica, dado que en el país no existen estudios que asocien el efecto del riego sobre la producción del fruto. Por lo tanto, se estudió el efecto del régimen de riego sobre la producción de tres cultivares de zapallo. Se aplicaron cinco láminas de riego con base en: Kc del cultivo (0,4; 0,6; 0,8; 1,0 y 1,2) a tres cultivares de Zapallo: UnapaL-Abanico-75 (A75), Unapal-Bolo Verde (Bv) y Unapal-Dorado (Dr), con ocho repeticiones, para un total de 96 plantas. El diseño experimental fue parcelas divididas, donde la parcela principal fue el tratamiento de riego y la subparcela, los cultivares. Los caracteres frutos por planta (FPP), peso promedio del fruto (PPF), producción por planta (PPP), materia seca (MS) y espesor de pared de pulpa (EP) presentaron diferencias altamente significativas, de acuerdo con el régimen de riego, asociadas, en modo positivo, con nivel de Kc más alto (1,2).

Shallots are a plant that is often used in human life. The waste product from shallots that can be used is shallot skins, where the shallot skins are usually just thrown away. This research uses a study of the quality of natural coloring of shallot skin on batik cloth. This research aims to determine the quality of the natural color of shallot skin on batik cloth. The process of researching the quality of shallot skin dye is that a cloth sample is attached to wax and then colored using shallot skin dye which has been extracted and fixed using an alum fixator. After that, the fabric sample is subjected to a night release process. Test samples in the laboratory through color fastness tests to wax release, color fastness tests to washing, color fastness tests to rubbing and color fastness tests to sunlight. Evaluate the resulting values ​​using gray scale and staining scale tools. The results of color fastness to waxing, washing, rubbing and sunlight are very low. This is because the anthocyanin and flaponoid compounds carried by shallot skin tend to be few or the coloring substances produced are very light.
Krise(n) in dynamischen Zeiten – Der westdeutsche Spitzenfußball in den langen 1960er-Jahren
Authors: Didion Philipp
Published: September 2024

Um das Ausmaß aktueller Krisenmomente besser einordnen zu können, erscheint es lohnend, sich Verlauf, Dimensionen und Auswirkungen früherer Krisen genauer anzusehen. In diesem Artikel geht es daher darum, die von multiplen Krisen begleitete Transformationsphase des westdeutschen Spitzenfußballs in den langen 1960er-Jahren in drei Schritten zu analysieren. Dabei stehen zunächst die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungsdynamiken und im Besonderen das sich wandelnde Freizeitverhalten in dieser Zeit im Fokus. Nach dieser Kontextualisierung widmet sich der Beitrag der Frage, welche Krisendiskurse, -wahrnehmungen und Strategien zum Umgang mit den multiplen Problemlagen im westdeutschen Spitzenfußball der langen 1960er-Jahre auszumachen sind. Denn trotz Ligareform (Einführung der Bundesliga im Jahr 1963) und eines quantitativen Mitgliederschubs im Breitensport („Sport-für-alle“-Boom) war diese Zeit von einem rapiden Zuschauerschwund, finanziellen Schwierigkeiten der Vereine sowie dem Bundesligaskandal 1970/71 geprägt. Schließlich soll mit einem Blick auf die europäische Situation, insbesondere auf Frankreich, deutlich gemacht werden, dass die Bundesrepublik hier keine Sonderstellung innehatte und es in anderen Ländern ebenfalls zu krisenhaften Zuständen im Profifußball kam.

Krise? Welche Krise? Eine Analyse von Krisenwahrnehmung und -verhalten von Fans des deutschen Fußballsports
Authors: Kaden Martin , Faix Axel , Bauers Sebastian Björn , Hovemann Gregor
Published: September 2024

In jüngerer Zeit mehren sich Stimmen, die den deutschen Fußball in einer Krise sehen. Fraglich ist bisher allerdings, ob die Krisenwahrnehmung aus Sicht der Fans breitere Gültigkeit beanspruchen kann und welche Entwicklungen hierfür ursächlich sind. Offen ist auch, welche Reaktionen der Fans aus einer Krisenwahrnehmung folgen. Im Rahmen einer Online-Erhebung unter 1.697 Fußballfans in Deutschland nimmt sich der vorliegende Beitrag diesen Fragestellungen an. Hierbei werden mögliche Ursachen für eine Krisenwahrnehmung (starke Kommerzialisierung, geringe Integrität des sportlichen Wettbewerbs und der Interessenberücksichtigung bzw. Partizipationsmöglichkeiten von Fans) sowie Verhaltensweisen der Fans (Widerspruch und Bereitschaft zu einer Abwanderung) in ihren empirischen Zusammenhängen untersucht. Im Ergebnis liegt aus Fansicht eine recht starke Krise vor, wobei diese Wahrnehmung durch die angeführten Fehlentwicklungen nicht (Integrität) oder lediglich mittelbar (Kommerzialisierung und Partizipation) beeinflusst wird. Weiterhin fördert die Wahrnehmung einer Krise systematisch sowohl das empfundene Erfordernis zu Widerstand wie auch die Tendenz zum Exit vom Fußball.

Improved Procedure Related to the UAV Methods for X-Y-Z Coordinates in Surface Imaging
Authors: Masnicki Romuald , Mindykowski Janusz
Published: September 2024

A paper deals with the use of UAV-based aerial photography in surface imaging. The main limitation of this photogrammetry is the problem of the insufficient accuracy of determining the Z coordinates of terrain points. The aim of this article is to highlight the problems related to the accuracy of the Z coordinates in the created terrain models based on UAV images and to propose simple techniques to overcome these problems. A proposed solution is based on the idea to use an unnamed aerial vehicle equipped with a digital camera and a GPS system, and additionally a laser rangefinder mounted on it, equipped with a results recording system. Due to application of this solution it is possible to eliminate the need to use reference points in the field and to ensure good coordinates accuracy from specific points in the captured image, associated with a group of pixels in the camera matrix. The article presents a description of the novel configuration of the system used and the method of data collection and processing as well as the analysis of the initial tests obtained. Finally the future research directions are shortly appointed.

Invisibles: A New Frontier in Vital Signs Monitoring
Authors: Silva Aline S. , Correia Miguel V. , Plácido da Silva Hugo
Published: September 2024

In the field of vital signs monitoring, there is a growing trend towards transposing monitoring technologies into people’s daily lives. Currently, the work revolves around wearables. However, wearables have known limitations, mainly the need for voluntary actions to acquire the signals of interest, low battery life, and abandonment, which leads to the search for new solutions. An evolution is the integration of sensors into the environment or everyday objects through invisible devices (also known as “off the person” sensing). Properly assessing and matching the patient and their caregiver to the appropriate monitoring technology, while considering the suitability of the home environment for device operation and maintenance is a challenge that depends on sound human factors principles. This article reviews the current key features and technologies to provide an overview of the existing invisibles landscape.
Exploring the Knowledge and Use of Standardised Nursing Terminology Across Australia
Authors: Jedwab Rebecca , Holzhauser Kerri , Gogler Janette , Duncan Sally , Garwood Tat , Linton Sophie , Sinnott Helen , Almond Helen , Hovenga Evelyn
Published: September 2024

Standardised nursing terminologies (SNTs) support the visibility of nursing work and documentation, enabling data sharing and comparison. An online survey assessed the knowledge and use of SNTs and revealed barriers and enablers to their use by Australian nurses. Just over half of the respondents were familiar with SNTs before the survey, a quarter reported a reasonable understanding of SNTs, just under half reported previous use of a SNT, and less than 14% indicated a current use of a SNT in their workplace. Perceived benefits to SNTs identified by respondents included a reduction in variation and the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing care by measuring outcomes. Both barriers and enablers to the use of SNTs included education and training, standardisation and contextualisation across Australia, and integration into any electronic medical record system. Nurses are poorly informed on what SNTs are and how they can be leveraged to support their work and documentation. There is a need for an Australia-wide strategic approach to ensure the future of nurses’ work is visible, and SNTs are purposefully and correctly implemented across the country.
Machine Translation Technology in Health: A Scoping Review
Authors: Merx Raphaël , Phillips Christine , Suominen Hanna
Published: September 2024

Machine Translation (MT) has emerged as a crucial tool in bridging language barriers. In health settings, MT is increasingly relevant due to the diversity of patient populations, the dominance of English in medical research, and the limited availability of human translation services. Improvements in MT accuracy have prompted a re-evaluation of its suitability in contexts where it was once deemed impractical. This scoping review with meta-analysis delved into the appropriateness and limitations of MT in health, including in medical education, literature translation, and patient-provider communication. A keyword search in PubMed, PubMed Central, and IEEE Xplore produced peer-reviewed literature that focused on MT in a health context, published from 2018 to 2023. Analysis and mapping of full-text articles revealed 33 studies among 2,589 returned abstracts, indicating that MT is still unsuitable for direct use in patient interactions, due to clinical risks linked to insufficient accuracy. However, MT was showing promise further away from patients, for translation of medical articles, terminology, and educational content. Further research in improving MT performance in these contexts, coverage of under-studied languages, and study of the existing usages of MT are recommended.

Published: September 2024

An urgent global imperative is to ensure health workforces have a solid digital health capability to deliver consumer-centred services now and into the future. To address a lack of formal recognition of health informatics knowledge and skills in Australia, the Certified Health Informatician Australasian (CHIA) was launched ten years ago. In that time, 3125 CHIA candidates registered to have their capabilities assessed using a core set of health informatics competencies. This paper presents the demographic profile of people undertaking the examination and trend data of the pass rate over the decade, and identifies possible factors that may lead to higher achievement. Certifications such as CHIA are critical in the professionalisation of digital health specialists and health informatics.

Published: September 2024

Wearable sensors, among other informatics solutions, are readily accessible to enable noninvasive remote monitoring in healthcare. While providing a wealth of data, the wide variety of such sensing systems and the differing implementations of the same or similar sensors by different developers complicate comparisons of collected data. An online application as a platform technology that provides uniform methods for analysing balance data is presented as a case study. The development of balance problems is common in neurodegenerative conditions, leading to falls and a reduced quality of life. While balance can be assessed using, for example, perturbation tests, sensors offer a more quantitative and scalable way. Researchers can adjust the platform to integrate the sensors of their choice or upload data and then preprocess, featurise, analyse, and visualise them. This eases performing comparative analyses across the sensors and datasets through a reduction of heterogeneity and facilitates easy integration of machine learning and other advanced data analytics, thereby targeting personalising medical insights.

Published: September 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, resulting in 4.96 million deaths in 2019, with projections reaching 10 million by 2050. This resistance, primarily due to the overuse of antibiotics, complicates the treatment of infections caused by various microorganisms, including the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. Traditional culture-based methods for detecting AMR are slow and imprecise, hindering timely clinical decision-making. In contrast, whole genome sequencing offers a faster, more accurate alternative for AMR detection. A novel machine learning study leveraging whole genomic sequencing data to predict the phenotypic susceptibility of Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin is presented. Using a novel dataset of 256 bacterial genomes and related susceptibility data, features were generated based on AMRFinderPlus findings and k-mer frequencies. The machine learning models, Random Forest and XGBoost, were evaluated using a five-fold cross-validation approach. Results showed that combining AMRFinderPlus and k-mer frequency features could achieve more than 90% accuracy using the XGBoost gradient boosting model. These findings suggest that the best results may be achieved using reference-free features combined with known gene markers.

This research hoped to determine the use of health services, health literacy, self-efficacy, and social adaptation among over 60-year-old people in China. Results showed that 48% of participants used mHealth services, and its use correlated with self-efficacy and social adaptation. Developing targeted interventions, including online health education programs, is crucial to address the digital divide and support ageing well.
ESPIRITUALIDADE NA (TRANS) FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES
Authors: Reverendo Anton Neto Florencio , Incontri Dora , Saba Pereira Cardoso Hugo
Published: September 2024

Esse artigo teve como objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre os direcionamentos epistemológicos de uma tese de doutorado que versa sobre a espiritualidade na formação de professores a partir de uma abordagem da autobiografia de Rudolf Steiner. Considerando que nenhum trabalho científico  prescinde de uma orientação epistemológica, o artigo tratou de justificar a opção pelos paradigma e epistemologia da complexidade e da multirreferencialidade, respectivamente, pela via da bricolagem científica. Por aí, articulou autores e argumentos que deixaram evidente uma espécie de insurgência com relação aos fundamentos e olhares epistemológicos de cunho positivista. Ao defender um rigor outro na ciência, se opôs aos mecanismos e modelos tecnicista-linear, disjuntivo-redutor, sem, contudo, invalidá-los, por entender que são insuficientes para darem conta do sustento de uma pesquisa qualitativa no campo das categorias metafísicas como o é a espiritualidade. Explicou que a espiritualidade vem sendo referida como um conhecimento, uma dimensão da vida e uma variável psicosocioantropológica que capilariza todas as estancias do ser humano e suas práticas. Ponderou que, se a educação é uma das mais importantes práticas sociais na qual o professor tem papel absolutamente central com claros objetivos de (auto) formação humana constituídos historicamente, a espiritualidade, por isso, os atravessa. No que diz respeito ao professor, defendeu que as suas narrativas e análises decorrentes, revelariam  uma sequência de interrogações epistêmicas que este profissional faz em torno do cotidiano em que vive, fato que compõe por si só, um quadro de conhecimentos e saberes das suas formações o qual, de outro modo,  não poderia ser apreendido. Por esse motivo, a escolha do professor Rudolf Steiner em função da sua declarada experiência e posição de defesa da espiritualidade na educação. Por fim depreendeu que refletir sobre a espiritualidade como conhecimento pertinente da formação de professores é tarefa de essencial importância no contexto da crise paradigmática que atravessa a sociedade e a ciência contemporâneas ,de cujas revoluções é possível antever o despontar de uma Educação Transformadora.
EDUCAÇÃO E ANCESTRALIDADE:
Authors: Rubino dos Santos Otávio Augusto Chaves
Published: September 2024

Pensar em educação e ancestralidade é algo importante nos dias atuais, visto que há muitas perspectivas neoliberais que colocam a educação enquanto uma prática mercadológica, voltada para os interesses do mercado em uma lógica competitiva e meritocrática; assim, a ancestralidade é uma maneira de resistência e insurgência contra perspectivas educativas neoliberais. Nesse sentido, nessa artigo, o objetivo é de trazer reflexões iniciais sobre o conceito de uma pedagogia ancestral enquanto práxis que possa trazer perspectivas ecológicas e ancestrais enquanto uma pedagogia, trazendo diversos aspectos de formação humana em uma perspectiva de educação e ancestralidade aonde há saberes outros que se voltam para a espiritualidade, a insurgência contra desigualdade, a valorização da cultura popular, que podem ser alternativas potentes contra a lógica individualista neoliberal. Penso em uma perspectiva, a partir de Krenak (2022), de que o futuro é ancestral. Como fundamentos e lentes interpretativas para a construção dessa perspectiva de educação e ancestralidade, trago duas categorias: educação popular e decolonialidade/interculturalidade. Faço uma análise trazendo aspectos que permitem constructos de uma pedagogia ancestral e, enquanto considerações finais, destaco que que essa partilha de saberes é um bom instrumento para, como salienta Freire (2000), mudar o mundo para a melhor, para fazê-lo menos injusto.
AÇÃO CULTURAL PARA LIBERTAÇÃO: OS ERROS METODOLÓGICOS EVIDENCIADOS PELO FILME “O POÇO”
Authors: Orso da Fonseca Marcos , Corci Batista Michel
Published: September 2024

Paulo Freire pode ser considerado uma referência no pensamento libertador da contemporaneidade. Sua construção teórica foi capaz de sistematizar uma teoria das ações coletivas dialéticas, pensando não somente em compreender a sociedade da época e seus mecanismos de práxis, mas também um contraponto a esta práxis, pensando não na perpetuação social, mas na mudança da realidade concreta. Entretanto, ainda que existam subsídios teórico-metodológicos da ação cultural para libertação, seja nos movimentos sociais, seja na escola enquanto esfera social responsável pela formação humana, frequentemente pode ser observado práticas libertadoras que utilizam de metodologias dos grupos dominantes em seu desenvolvimento. Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a educação para libertação contida no filme “O Poço” buscando clarificar os processos coerentes de emancipação dos oprimidos, conforme a ótica de Paulo Freire. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, utiliza-se dos pressupostos da pesquisa documental para a constituição dos dados. A análise dos dados constituídos se dá de maneira dedutiva e, sustenta-se na teoria da Educação Libertadora de Paulo Freire. Por meio da arte, é possível tomar distância epistemológica da realidade concreta para admirá-la, desta forma, analisar o filme “O Poço” como um documento histórico revela fatos corriqueiramente esquecidos pelo quefazer da ação cultural para a libertação. Com isso, é cada vez mais urgente revisitar as teorias críticas da ação cultural para libertação, sejam elas gerais ou aplicadas diretamente à escola, pois o realismo capitalista impossibilita uma ação autenticamente transgressora.
Vládnutí nestátních ozbrojených aktérů v selhávajících státech: Případ Hizballáhu
Authors: Jan Daniel
Published: September 2024

Text se na příkladu libanonského hnutí Hizballáh zabývá fenoménem vládnutí nestátních ozbrojených aktérů v prostředích selhávajících států a podmínkami jeho vzniku. Argumentuje, že jedním z klíčových předpokladů vzniku a dlouhodobějšího udržení autority nestátního ozbrojeného aktéra je plnění funkcí obvykle asociovaných primárně se státem (tedy zajištění bezpečnosti, veřejných služeb a statků a legitimity své autority), jež selhávající stát není schopen vykonávat. Studie konkrétně ukazuje, jak Hizballáh dokáže nahrazovat či doplňovat libanonský stát v jednotlivých jeho funkcích a následně využít širokou síť institucí k posilování své politické autority. Díky specifickým praktikám a strategiím vládnutí Hizballáhu postupně dochází k významné proměně způsobů politické kontroly teritoria a jejich hybridizaci.

Amnesty International- podoba, vývoj a postavení organizace v mezinárodních vztazích
Authors: Černá Lucie
Published: September 2024

Amnesty International (AI), nositelka Nobelovy ceny za mír z roku 1977, je jednou z nejznámějších nevládních organizací působících na mezinárodní scéně v oblasti lidských práv. Vznikla v roce 1961 z iniciativy britského právníka Petera Benensona. Jeho snaha upozornit veřejnost na problematiku politických vězňů ve světě vedla ke vzniku širokého hnutí, které se stalo mezinárodním a které postupně získalo podobu organizované instituce. Původní zaměření organizace zahrnovalo především snahu o ochranu lidí vězněných pro svůj názor, snahu o rozšíření práva na azyl, pomoc politickým uprchlíkům a konečně úsilí o vytvoření účinného mezinárodního mechanismu, který by zajistil svobodu názoru. Toto užší zaměření se postupem času stalo neudržitelné a mandát organizace se začal přizpůsobovat měnícím se trendům v oblasti porušování lidských práv, na něž se AI snažila reagovat také novými metodami své práce. Dnes tedy můžeme v mandátu organizace nalézt např. ustanovení o boji proti vojenským, bezpečnostním a policejním transferům vedoucím k porušování lidských práv, ustanovení o e tnických čistkách či problematiku lidských práv osob postižených HIV/AIDS. Organizace při své činnosti, tvorbě a úpravách svého mandátu vychází ze tří zdrojů. Jde o jednotlivé humanitární normy (např. o Všeobecnou deklaraci lidských práv či o Mezinárodní pakty OSN o lidských právech). Kromě toho čerpá z humanitárního práva válečného (ustanovení Ženevských úmluv) a konečně z kolektivního morálního přesvědčení svých členů, které je do značné míry určující pro její rozvoj. Svých cílů se AI snaží dosáhnout pomocí metod, jakými jsou např. adoptivní skupiny, regionální akční sítě, urgentní akce, kampaně, sítě odborníků, mise a v poslední době také monitorování krizových situací. K nejvýznamnějším metodám patří též již tradiční zveřejňování porušování lidských práv formou pravidelných výročních zpráv i speciálně zaměřených studií. V poslední době se AI věnuje také výchově k lidským právům. Klíčová je pro organizaci i spolupráce s jinými organizacemi. AI spolupracuje nejen s mezinárodními mezivládními organizacemi, jakými jsou OSN či Rada Evropy, ale též s nevládními organizacemi, a to jak s mezinárodními (Human Rights Watch či International Federation of Human Rights), tak s lokálními. Od roku 1991 je AI aktivně přítomna i v České republice.

Tragame tierra : El Caribe centroamericano en la ruta hacia el Old West
Authors:   , Jaentschke Marcel
Published: September 2024

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] El estudio titulado "Tragame tierra: El Caribe centroamericano en la ruta hacia el Old West" propone una lectura de la novela de Lizandro Chavez Alfaro en clave western, con miras a analizar el entrelazamiento de discursos en el texto. A traves del reconocimiento de la colonizacion interna de la costa caribena de Nicaragua, puesta de relieve en Tragame tierra (1969), se problematiza la incorporacion de los sujetos etnicos del Caribe; y se identifica el lugar que tuvo la Mosquitia en la conquista del viejo oeste estadounidense en plena fiebre del oro, cuando la ruta hacia el 'Old West' pasaba por la cuenca del Caribe de Nicaragua. La lectura de la novela como un western nos conduce a identificar una serie de ansiedades culturales, entre las que es posible distinguir una contradictoria afiliacion al Caribe afrodescendiente realizada desde los codigos del Pacifico hegemonico. Asi se demuestra que Chavez Alfaro reafirma la homogeneidad nacional a partir de la subordinacion de la diferencia etnica y cultural de los personajes afrocaribenos.

Қазіргі таңда кедейлік проблемасы еліміздің ең өткір, шешімін әлі таппаған мәселесінің біріне айналуда, соңғы жылдардағы геосаяси көші-қон, табиғи апаттар, табыс теңсіздігінің алшақтығы салдарынан сұрақ одан сайын ушығуда. Кедейлікпен күрес жолында әртүрлі көмектер мен әдістер пайдаланылады. Соның бірі – ол атаулы әлеуметтік көмек. Дегенмен бұл көмек түрінің кедейлік мәселесін шешуіне, кедей халықтың табысына қаншалықты дәрежеде әсер етіп жатқандығына аса назар аударылмайды. Сондықтан бұл жұмыстың мақсаты – халықтың өмір сүру деңгейіне әлеуметтік көмек, оның ішінде атаулы әлеуметтік көмектің ықпалын талдау болып табылады. Мақалада кедей және табысы төмен халыққа тағайындалатын әлеуметтік көмектің бір түрі – атаулы әлеуметтік көмек (бұдан ары қарай АӘК) зерттеледі. Негізінен атаулы әлеуметтік көмек табысы төмен отбасының азық-түлік кәрзеңкесін қамтамасыз етуге, ең бірінші базалық қажеттіліктерін өтеуге көмектесуі тиіс. Зерттеу нәтижелері бойынша АӘК-тің кедей отбасыларына өте аз деңгейде әсер ететіні дәлелденді. Бұндай өте төмен әсердің себебін АӘК-тің орташа айлық мөлшерінің аздығымен және осындай әлеуметтік көмектерді алу принципінің дұрыс сақталмауымен түсіндіреміз. Сонымен қатар мақалада кедей үй шаруашылығының табысындағы АӘК-тің үлесі өте төмен екендігі анықталды. Атаулы әлеуметтік көмекке қол жеткізудегі кедергілердің 50%-ы ретінде кедей халыққа арналған атаулы әлеуметтік көмек туралы халықтың ақпаратпен қамтамасыз етілмеуін жатқызамыз.

The main objective of the study is to determine the degree of influence of labor and investment in fixed capital on the total volume of output in Kazakhstan. The paper uses the multiple regression analysis method based on the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results of the empirical analysis showed that with a change in investment in fixed capital by 1%, the volume of production will increase by an average of 0.747%. Accordingly, with a change in the number of employed people by 1%, the volume of production will increase by an average of 2.589%. The study revealed a low contribution of technological progress to the development of the manufacturing industry. Based on the analysis, a conclusion was made about the presence of increasing returns to the scale of production, since the sum of the elasticity coefficients of production for capital and labor is greater than one. The high rate of contribution to labor costs (2.589%) indicates that the growth of labor intensity in the manufacturing industry of Kazakhstan has a stimulating effect on the economic growth of production, and also brings a positive economic effect to production.

Достижение повсеместного гендерного баланса, включая сферу науки, все шире признается неотъемлемым условием обеспечения устойчивого развития стран. Казахстан, обозначивший построение экономики знаний, в качестве одного из приоритетов, предпринимает комплекс мер для искоренения гендерных разрывов. Целью данной статьи является анализ развития институтов, способствующих гендерному балансу в области науки. Для этого было изучено современное состояние гендерного паритета в науке и образовании на основе ведомственных и статистических данных, была проанализирована деятельность формальных и неформальных институтов, а также был проведен сравнительный анализ развития гендерных институтов в Казахстане и зарубежных странах. Несмотря на достижение гендерного паритета, сохраняется стереотипность в выборе специализации женщинами и их недопредставленность в руководстве высшими учебными заведениями. Результаты также показывают, что институциональные механизмы в сфере гендерной политики в стране имеют ряд слабых сторон по сравнению со странами, преуспевшими в этой сфере. Авторами даются рекомендации об усилении гендерного просвещения, активизации работы институтов в продвижении гендерной повестки, внедрении новых механизмов реализации данной политики. Выводы статьи могут быть полезны для дальнейшего совершенствования механизмов и институтов гендерного равенства, в особенности в науке.

Экономикалық дамудың қазіргі жағдайында салық салу мәселелерінің өзектілігі экономикалық одаққа біріктірілген елдер үшін барған сайын маңызды бола түсуде. Осы тұрғыда ұқсас экономикалық мүдделер елдерін біріктіретін интеграциялық блок болып табылатын Еуразиялық экономикалық одақта жанама салықтарды салықтық әкімшілендіруге ерекше назар аударылады. ҚҚС және акциздер сияқты жанама салықтар қатысушы мемлекеттердің қаржысын реттеудің және бюджеттерінің тұрақтылығын қамтамасыз етудің маңызды құралы болып табылады. Авторлар акциздер мен ҚҚС түсімдерінің тенденцияларын анықтайды, сондай-ақ әрбір қатысушы елдің ерекшеліктерін ескере отырып, салық жүйесін оңтайландырудың ықтимал жолдарын ұсынады. Бұл зерттеуде ЕАЭО шеңберінде жанама салық салу контекстінде салық әкімшіліктері кездесетін сын-қатерлер қарастырылады, сондай-ақ Одақтың экономикалық интеграциясы мен орнықты дамуын нығайту үшін осы жүйені жетілдіру перспективалары талданады. Зерттеу нысаны кедендік төлемдер жүйесіндегі қосылған құн салығы және акциздер болып табылады. Жұмыстың ғылыми-практикалық маңыздылығы Еуразиялық экономикалық одақ елдерінде ҚҚС және акциздерді қолданудың рөлі мен маңыздылығымен, сондай-ақ жаңа материалдарды тарта отырып зерттеу жүргізумен және аталған проблеманы одан әрі ғылыми зерттеу кезінде алынған нәтижелерді пайдалану мүмкіндігімен айқындалады.

В нестабильных геополитических и экономических условиях научный интерес к проблеме инвестиции значительно возрастает. Гипотеза научного исследования исходит из предположения о том, что уровень экономического развития региона зависит от объема инвестиции. Цель научного исследования – выявить на основе корреляционного анализа взаимосвязь между инвестициями в основной капитал и валовым региональным продуктом. В статье на основе данных бюро национальной статистики Агентства по стратегическому планированию и реформам Республики Казахстан проанализированы экономические показатели, характеризующие динамику инвестиций в основной капитал и валового регионального продукта по Актюбинской, Атырауской, Западно-Казахстанской и Мангистауской областям западного региона Казахстана. Коэффициенты корреляции свидетельствуют о наличии высокой взаимосвязи между анализируемыми показателями. Для роста валового регионального продукта и инвестиции в основной капитал необходимо активизировать инвестиционную деятельность, воздействовать на инвестиционный процесс с помощью методов прямого и косвенного государственного регулирования. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при разработке планов развития, а также при составлении прогнозов объемов инвестиции и валового регионального продукта в западном регионе Казахстана.

The primary goal of the study is to examine trends in the research of applying the living lab (LL) approach in the studies relating to sustainable tourism development. In this paper, 796 scientific papers published between 2001 and 2022 were chosen from the Les.org aggregative database and analyzed using bibliographic parameters. For data analysis, the tools of Lens.org, VOSviewer, and Harzing’s Publish or Perish software have been used. We sorted out the data by authors, journals, authors' institutions, countries, and cited ranks. We also looked at the network of keywords and terms from abstracts and structured them into groups to find out how research is organized in this field. LLs as methodology for co-creation user-centered open innovations in the real environment demonstrated a positive impact for sustainable development. Although still not widely utilized its potential in tourism sustainable development.
