This study aims to assess a) the impact of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the growth of creative industries in Kazakhstan, b) identify key factors influencing their interaction, and c) develop a mechanism to enhance the effectiveness of this collaboration in order to elevate the share of Kazakhstan's creative sector to a global level. Currently, creative industries are a significant driver of economic development both globally and nationally, contributing around 10% to global GDP, a figure comparable to that of agriculture. The research focuses on analysing the unique characteristics of the creative sector, as well as identifying and organizing the factors that influence the interaction between SMEs and creative industries. The study found that various external and internal factors significantly impact the entrepreneurial activities of SMEs and the creative industries. These findings could inform adjustments to government policies regarding SMEs and the creative sector. Overall, the findings suggest that to advance the creative economy, it is necessary to reduce administrative burdens, provide preferential loans, and introduce additional government support measures for SMEs. This research could also serve as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of government support for SMEs and the creative industries in the future.

Данное исследование направлено на оценку влияния а) малого и среднего бизнеса (МСБ) на рост креативных отраслей в Казахстане, б) выявление основных факторов, влияющих на их взаимодействие и в) разработку механизма повышения эффективности данного сотрудничества с целью повышения доли креативного сектора Казахстана на глобальный уровень. В настоящее время креативные отрасли являются важной движущей силой экономического развития как на глобальном, так и на национальном уровне, составляя около 10% мирового ВВП, и этот показатель можно сравнить с сельским хозяйством. Исследование направлено на анализ уникальных характеристик креативного сектора, а также на выявление и организацию факторов, влияющих на взаимодействие малого и среднего бизнеса и креативных отраслей. Исследование показало, что различные внешние и внутренние факторы оказывают существенное влияние на предпринимательскую деятельность МСП и креативных отраслей. Эти результаты могут стать основой для корректировки государственной политики в отношении малого и среднего бизнеса и креативного сектора. В целом, результаты показывают, что для продвижения креативной экономики необходимо снизить административное бремя, предоставить льготные кредиты и ввести дополнительные меры государственной поддержки малого и среднего бизнеса. Это исследование может стать основой для оценки эффективности государственной поддержки малого и среднего бизнеса и креативных индустрий в будущем.

В статье рассматриваются вопросы эффективного использования бюджетов и бюджетирования, как технологии управления. Четкого и однозначного разъяснения понятиям «бюджет» и «бюджетирование» не выработано, разность толкований сути терминов зависит от цели, направления, места их использования. Система бюджетирования как инструмент управленческого учета недостаточно активно используется на предприятиях реального сектора, тогда как суть ее сделать всякую деятельность предсказуемой и управляемой. Исследование основано на изучении возможностей формирования учетной и аналитической информации в подсистеме бюджетирования «1С: ERPУправление предприятием». Применение бюджетов и бюджетных процедур позволяют осуществлять гибкие настройки бизнес-процессов в целях эффективного управления и контроля процессами и ресурсами. Подсистемы в 1С: ERP имеют много преимуществ, ориентированы на автоматизацию рутинных задач, высвобождая время для сотрудников на выполнение более важных работ и повышение эффективности. Инструменты системы позволяют настраивать отчеты в режиме реального времени, связанные с учетными данными, что помогает отслеживать важные показатели эффективности. В работе обоснован анализ преимуществ и недостатков бюджетирования, который показывает отсутствие универсальной концепции бюджетирования. В связи с чем, авторами рекомендовано компаниям формировать индивидуальную модель бюджетирования, встраиваемую в контур управления компаний, на основе инструментов бюджетирования.

The article considers the issues of efficient use of budgets and budgeting as a management technology. A clear and unambiguous explanation of the concepts of "budget" and "budgeting" has not been developed; the difference in interpretation of the essence of the terms depends on the purpose, direction, and place of their use. The budgeting system as a management accounting tool is not used actively enough at enterprises in the real sector, while its essence is to make any activity predictable and manageable. The study is based on the study of the possibilities of forming accounting and analytical information in the budgeting subsystem «1C: ERP Enterprise Management». The use of budgets and budget procedures allows for flexible settings of business processes for the purpose of efficient management and control of processes and resources. Subsystems in 1C: ERP have many advantages; they are focused on automating routine tasks, freeing up time for employees to perform more important work and increase efficiency. System tools allow you to customize real-time accounting-related reports to help you track important performance metrics. The work substantiates the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of budgeting, which shows the absence of a universal budgeting concept. In this regard, the authors recommend that companies form an individual budgeting model, integrated into the company's management framework, based on budgeting tools.

Ecotourism is the fastest growing and most sought after type of tourism in the world today. In turn, agritourism is a priority direction of ecological tourism. The demand for agritourism is constantly growing, so there is a need to develop this type of tourism in Kazakhstan. In recent years, active urbanization has led to the fact that urban residents are increasingly drawn to nature. The Republic of Kazakhstan has a huge number of prerequisites for the development of agritourism in its vast territory. Throughout Kazakhstan there are many villages with a rich cultural and historical heritage, in which people have been leading a traditional way of life since ancient times. The original culture, traditional way of life, local rural flavor combined with natural nature, picturesque landscapes, as well as diverse flora and fauna can be of interest to both foreign and Kazakhstani tourists. The development of rural tourism can benefit the countryside by protecting weak untouched landscapes, elevate the status of poor villages, increase the importance of nature and instill an ecological culture in the population. Resources for the development of agritourism in the Republic of Kazakhstan are available in all regions of the country, so the prospects for the development of this type of tourism in Kazakhstan are great. In the very near future, agritourism in Kazakhstan may become a sector of economic activity that creates conditions for the inflow of new funds into the rural economy, as well as become a tool for sustainable development.

Целью статьи является оценка действующей в Казахстане модели обусловленных денежных трансфертов с позиций направленности условий получения помощи на конечные результаты. Методология исследования представлена сравнительным анализом параметров обусловленной денежной помощи в Казахстане в среднесрочном периоде на основе статистических показателей структуры и динамики показателей официальной статистической базы Министерства труда и социальной защиты Казахстана. Проведен анализ результатов социологического опроса экспертов, курирующих в городских Центрах трудовой мобильности граждан вопросы определения права входа в систему, наблюдающих ошибки включения и исключения соискателей социальной помощи. Было выявлено, что соблюдение условий трудовой активности, с одной стороны, является недостаточно жестким, а, с другой стороны, ограничено возможностями экономики, особенно малых городов и сельской местности. Предлагается рассмотреть два вектора совершенствования программы ОДТ: сократить число отказов от предложения работы / повышения квалификации / профессионального обучения или переобучения до 1 раза и ввести в систему обязательство обеспечения развития человеческого капитала детей.

Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) provide assistance subject to predetermined conditions regarding the behavior of household members. The purpose of the article is to assess the current model of conditional cash transfers in Kazakhstan from the point of view of the focus of the conditions for receiving assistance on the final results. The research methodology is presented by a comparative analysis of the parameters of conditional cash assistance in Kazakhstan in the medium term based on statistical indicators of the structure and dynamics of indicators of the official statistical base of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Kazakhstan. An analysis of the results of a sociological survey of experts supervising the issues of determining the right to enter the system at the city Labor Mobility Centers of citizens, observing errors in the inclusion and exclusion of applicants, was carried out. It was revealed that compliance with the conditions of labor activity, on the one hand, is not strict enough, and on the other hand, it is limited by the capabilities of the economy, especially small towns and rural areas. It is proposed to consider two vectors for improving the CCT program: reduce the number of refusals of job offers/advanced training/vocational training to 1 time and introduce into the system an obligation to ensure the development of children’s human capital.

Authors: Vaithyanathan, A. Narasima Venkatesh
Published: November 2024

This study seeks to examine the effect of adopting remote work in the period of “COVID-19 on the talent management and employee retention of IT firms in Bangalore”. Given the shift towards remote work, there was a new set of issues when it comes to human capital management and employee retention. This paper also focuses on how approved remote working policies such as flexible working arrangements, communication technology and performance appraisal systems; combined with talent management initiatives; impacted the rate of attrition among employees at this period of volatility. Exclusively survey research method for the study and data was gathered using a structured questionnaire administered only on the IT professionals in Bangalore. Analytical utilization of SPSS was employed in order to assess correlations between employment of remote work policies as well as Talent management strategies and Employee retention rates. As the result, it indicates that organization with proper remote work policies experienced considerably positive effect on retaining the employees by focusing their needs on flexibility and work-life balance. Moreover, other talent management methods, like virtual training, performance management, and engagement activities became important contributors to the workforce satisfaction. Although both practices were important, it was identified that remote work policies had a slightly more significant impact on retention. This evidence implies that organisations that have put into practice remote working policies and adjusted their talent management practices were able to retain their workforce. This research will be relevant for understanding the best practices and prospects for retaining employees in the IT businesses in Bangalore as well as other global organizations functioning within the new format of work. Considering ongoing changes that are taking place as organisations transition to and establish post-pandemic working environments, these insights can help organisations understand how to effectively manage their people and organise remote work to retain and enhance employees’ commitment and satisfaction.

Systematic Review of the Relationship between Vitamin D Deficiency and Delayed Teething in Children and Infants
Authors: Saida Saleem Abdalqader Albaradie
Published: November 2024

Background: In oral health, there has been an increasing focus on vitamin D (VD) levels. VD deficiency (VDD) is linked to a broad range of oral health issues during growth and maturity, and reduced VD synthesis may hasten the onset of some of these illnesses. Severe VDD in children can lead to poor tooth mineralization, which can lead to dentin and enamel abnormalities. Consequently, there's a chance that these flaws will raise the chance of dental caries developing and spreading.
Objectives: This study's main goal was to determine how vitamin D insufficiency affects children's and newborns' delayed teething. 
Methodology: We conducted a thorough search of PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Science Direct to find pertinent literature. The Rayyan QRCI was utilized during the whole operation.
Results: The timing of the eruption and the amounts of vitamin D were shown to be significantly correlated (P < 0.001). Compared to infants with sufficient-to-optimal values of 25(OH)D (≥50.0 nmol/L) at birth, children with vitamin D deficiency at birth showed greater dental ages, higher developmental stages of the mandibular second premolar, and higher developmental stages of the mandibular second molar. Furthermore, compared to children with appropriate levels of vitamin D, those with a deficiency were 2.5 times more likely to have delayed teething. Additionally, the usual teething group had a mean blood vitamin D level of 26.8 ng/mL, whereas the delayed teething group had a mean level of 20.3 ng/mL.
Conclusion: Studies from Saudi Arabia, India, Brazil, the United States, and Egypt have all underlined the effect that vitamin D insufficiency has on delayed teething in newborns and children. These findings emphasize the significance of maintaining appropriate vitamin D levels for healthy dental development by showing a continuous link between low levels of the vitamin and delayed teething eruption. Moreover, studies indicate that vitamin D concentrations in mothers and newborns may also influence how children's teeth develop. Promoting children's oral health outcomes requires addressing vitamin D insufficiency through suitable therapies and public health policies.

The article presents the results of the field studies of one of the buildings of the complex of the former «Grand Hotel» hotel, carried out during the construction work. This object is located in the center of the historical part of Polotsk. We assumed the presence of the earlier monumental structures of the XVII–XVIII centuries and related movable arti-facts as the part of the building. During the study of the existing building, we identified two buildings of the second half of the XVIII century, and collected artifacts related to them. Their outlines are known from the plans of Polotsk of the end of the XVIII–XIX centuries, but archaeological research helped us to reveal their structural features.
Walking the Streets: Psychogeography and the Politics of Exclusion in Selected Works of Ruskin Bond
Authors: Ms. Abhinanda Chakraborty
Published: November 2024

Psychogeography involves the study of the interrelationship between the human psyche and the surrounding physical environment. Both as a theory and as a methodological tool, psychogeography can be utilized to understand and analyze how space – especially urban space as the centres of capitalism, consumerism, and authoritative control by capitalist forces – impacts our lives and our attitudes and becomes an integral factor in the formation of our sense of self and identity. Integral to psychogeography is the concept of walking, often referred to as the ‘dérive’, which signifies a sort of aimless drifting through the city streets with the objective of resisting the lure of capitalist consumerism while simultaneously re-centering the gaze to the street level to draw attention to those who populate the fringes and the margins of society and whose lives and stories have mostly slipped through the fissures of history. The article provides psychogeographical analysis of selected works by Ruskin Bond to show how his writings document not only the changing landscape of many of India’s cities and small towns due to the impact of modern capitalist urbanity but also how the development and evolution of the hill stations from the time of the British Raj have, time and again, reconstituted the dynamics of power and position based on notions of race, culture and other socio-political factors. Through Bond’s fictional and non-fictional accounts, it is thus possible to examine the politics of social exclusion and marginalization which characterizes not just urban spaces but human spaces in general, thereby bringing to the foreground issues of identity and belonging which are essentially intertwined with the spaces that surround us and which we inhabit.
Metropolitan Mosaics: A Study of Literary Representations of Children Amidst Urban Diversity
Authors: Ms. Ananya Dasghosh  , Dr. Shafayat Hussain
Published: November 2024

Urban centers, often touted as melting pots of diversity, present a complex and dynamic backdrop where the voices and experiences of children are both moulded and reflected. This study explores how children’s multifaceted narratives in urban settings challenge preconceived notions of urban life and diversity. Utilizing Louis Wirth’s urban sociology, this research examines how urbanization influences social behaviour and community formation amidst historical and contemporary diversities. Furthermore, Cathy Caruth’s trauma theory elucidates the profound psychological impacts of Partition, revealing how trauma and memory shape the individual and collective identities of children. The childhood studies framework of Chris Jenks and Alan Prout highlights the active agency of children as they navigate these complex urban landscapes, transforming them into resilient actors.
