At present, the source database expansion on medieval archaeology of the Kazakh steppe is among the priorities in science. Certain success was achieved in the study of sites of such medieval states of the ancient Turkic Khaganates as Kimak, Oghuz, Ulug Ulus, and Kazakh Khaganate on the territory of Kazakhstan.At the same time, the lack of a comprehensive study of this era led to its occasional research. The purpose of the article is to introduce early Middle Ages burial materials from the northern region of Kazakhstan into scientific circulation. Turkic mound is located in the Kenotkel-Shagalaly archaeological microdistrict.The central burial belongs to the era of the early Iron Age, later the fence was added in the early Middle Ages. Such peculiarities of the funeral rite as the eastern orientation, and the accompanying horse burial indicate that burial belongs to the Turkic time.Burial research and items as an earing, a fragment of a mirror and a spindle whorl found in the burial site suggest that it was a grave of a woman. The dating object is an earring and the time of the construction of this funerary structure was determined. That is the second half of the VIII-IX century.

Authors:   A.Baitursynov Kostanay Regional University, Zhabayeva S.
Published: January 2024

This article is devoted to semantic and pragmatic problems of translation, in particular, analysis of translation of realia of Kazakh culture into English. As a practical material of the study, a classic of Kazakh literature “Book of Words” by Abai Kunanbayev in translation into English was used. The object of the study is realia of Kazakh culture, reflecting the conceptual basis of the Kazakh picture of the world through the prism of the author’s vision of Abai. To implement the proposed problem, methods of component and semantic analysis of realia, as well as translation analysis, were used. These methods are based on comparative analysis of the original and English translation. The analysis of the practical material using the chosen methods led to the conclusion that the translator must comprehend the deep cultural semantics of realia that require special kinds of pragmatic adaptation in translation. A comparative analysis of the original and the translation showed that the English language means are not able to convey the conceptual content of the Kazakh reality, and the translation techniques used by the translator limit the receptor’s understanding of realia deep semantics.

Authors:   L.N.Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Zhazira Saiyn
Published: January 2024

In the context of globalization, millions of people belonging to different cultures and ethnic groups have been given the opportunity to move freely around the world and engage in cultural exchanges with other peoples. In the largest cities of the world, the number of migrants from foreign countries is constantly increasing, and along with this the number of problems is increasing. The number of migrants in the world amounted to 272 million people, or 3.5% of the world’s population. By 2050, this figure could reach 400 million (UN DESA Report, 2019 https://www.un.org/ru/desa). These migrations often lead to misunderstandings, and sometimes to conflict between representatives of the two cultures. According to J. Berry (1997), in the period when some countries are striving for political and economic integration, while others, on the contrary, for independence, the situation of cultural interaction becomes especially acute. Therefore, scholars and individuals who somehow come into contact with the process of intercultural communication, attach special importance to the study of these processes, one of which is acculturation. This article examines the acculturation process of Kazakhs living in the United States, gives the concept of such forms of acculturation as segregation, assimilation, integration and marginalization.

Published: January 2024

The subject matter of this research revolves around addressing the escalating global health threat posed by cardiovascular diseases, which have become a leading cause of mortality in recent times. The goal of this study was to develop a comprehensive diet recommendation system tailored explicitly for cardiac patients. The primary task of this study is to assist both medical practitioners and patients in developing effective dietary strategies to counter heart-related ailments. To achieve this goal, this study leverages the capabilities of machine learning (ML) to extract valuable insights from extensive datasets. This approach involves creating a sophisticated diet recommendation framework using diverse ML techniques. These techniques are meticulously applied to analyze data and identify optimal dietary choices for individuals with cardiac concerns. In pursuit of actionable dietary recommendations, classification algorithms are employed instead of clustering. These algorithms categorize foods as "heart-healthy" or "not heart-healthy," aligned with cardiac patients’ specific needs. In addition, this study delves into the intricate dynamics between different food items, exploring interactions such as the effects of combining protein- and carbohydrate-rich diets. This exploration serves as a focal point for in-depth data mining, offering nuanced perspectives on dietary patterns and their impact on heart health. The method used central to the diet recommendation system is the implementation of the Neural Random Forest algorithm, which serves as the cornerstone for generating tailored dietary suggestions. To ensure the system’s robustness and accuracy, a comparative assessment involving other prominent ML algorithms—namely Random Forest, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Decision Tree, was conducted. The results of this analysis underscore the superiority of the proposed -based system, demonstrating higher overall accuracy in delivering precise dietary recommendations compared with its counterparts. In conclusion, this study introduces an advanced diet recommendation system using ML, with the potential to notably reduce cardiac disease risk. By providing evidence-based dietary guidance, the system benefits both healthcare professionals and patients, showcasing the transformative capacity of ML in healthcare. This study underscores the significance of meticulous data analysis in refining dietary decisions for individuals with cardiac conditions.
Enhancing functional efficiency in information-extreme machine learning with logistic regression ensembles
Authors: Papchenko Oleksandr , Kuzikov Borys , Shovkoplias Oksana
Published: January 2024

The subject matter of the article is the application of supervised machine learning for the task of object class recognition. The goal is enhancing functional efficiency in information-extreme technology (IET) for object class recognition. The tasks to be solved are: to analyse possible ways of increasing the functional efficiency IET approach; implement an ensemble of models that include logistic regression for prioritizing recognition features and an IEI learning algorithm; compare the functional efficiency of the resulting ensemble of models on well-known dataset with classic approach and results of other researchers. The methods: The method is developed within the framework of the functional approach to modelling natural intelligence applied to the problem of object classification. The following results were obtained: The study tries to augment existing IET to support feature prioritization as part of the object class recognition algorithm. The classical information-extreme algorithm treats all input features equivalently important in forming the decisive rule. As a result, the object features with strong correlation are not prioritized by the algorithm's decisive mechanism – resulting in decreasing functional efficiency in exam mode. The proposed approach is solving this problem by applying a two-stage approach. In the first stage the multiclass logistic regression applied to the input training features vectors of objects to be classified – formed the normalized training matrix. To prevent overfitting of the logistic regression, a model the L2(ridge) regularization method was used. On the second stage, the information-extreme method as input takes the result of the first stage. The geometrical parameters of class containers and the control tolerances on the recognition features were considered as the optimization parameters. Conclusions. The proposed approach increases MNIST (Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology) dataset classification accuracy compared with the classic information-extreme method by 26,44%. The proposed approach has a 3.77% lower accuracy compared to neural-like approaches but uses fewer resources in the training phase and allows retraining the model, as well as expanding the dictionary of recognition classes without model retraining.

Published: January 2024

Online hate speech has flourished on social networking sites due to the widespread availability of mobile computers and other Web knowledge. Extensive research has shown that online exposure to hate speech has real-world effects on marginalized communities. Research into methods of automatically identifying hate speech has garnered significant attention. Hate speech can affect any demographic, while some populations are more vulnerable than others. Relying solely on progressive learning is insufficient for achieving the goal of automatic hate speech identification. It need access to large amounts of labelled data to train a model. Inaccurate statistics on hate speech and preconceived notions have been the biggest obstacles in the field of hate speech research for a long time. This research provides a novel strategy for meeting these needs by combining a transfer-learning attitude-based BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) with a coral reef optimization-based approach (CROA). A feature selection (FC) optimization strategy for coral reefs, a coral reefs optimization method mimics coral behaviours for reef location and development. We might think of each potential answer to the problem as a coral trying to establish itself in the reefs. The results are refined at each stage by applying specialized operators from the coral reefs optimization algorithm. When everything is said and done, the optimal solution is chosen. We also use a cutting-edge fine-tuning method based on transfer learning to assess BERT’s ability to recognize hostile contexts in social media communications. The paper evaluates the proposed approach using Twitter datasets tagged for racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive content. The numbers show that our strategy achieves 5%–10% higher precision and recall compared to other approaches.

A szemszerkezet hatása a nyírási vasalás nélküli vasbetongerendák teherbírására, és tönkremeneteli módjára
Authors: Sajtos István , Ther Péter Pál , Vajk Rita
Published: January 2024

Vasbetonszerkezetek esetében egyforma teherbírásra és tönkremeneteli módra számítunk, ha a betonok szilárdsága, szilárdsági osztálya, ugyanaz, függetlenül a betonkészítéshez használt adalékanyag szemszerkezetétől, maximális szemnagyságától. Kísérleti tapasztalat, hogy a nyírási vasalás nélküli vasbeton gerendák teherbírását nagyon sok paraméter, többek között a beton szilárdsága, törési energiája, a hosszvasalás mennyisége és a gerendák mérete is változatosan, adott gerenda kialakításától függő módon, befolyásolja. Nem véletlen, hogy máig nincs matematikai (a jelenséget minden részletében egyenletekkel leíró) modell, és teljes, tiszta kép a vasbeton gerendák nyírási viselkedéséről. Cikkünkben a mérethatás modell segítségével értelmezzük és magyarázzuk a nyírási vasalás nélküli vasbeton gerendák kísérleteiben megfigyelhető jelenségeket, és a teherbírást befolyásoló paraméterek hatását. Az elemzésünkben, magyarázatunkban fontos szerepe van a beton törési energiájának és az ezt befolyásoló, meghatározó maximális adalékanyag szemnagyságnak, dmax. A bemutatott mérethatásmodell hatékonyságát kisméretű vasbeton gerendák kísérleti eredményeivel történő összehasonlításával vizsgáltuk. Megmutattuk, hogy még ilyen kicsi kísérleti gerendaméretnél is, a maximális szemnagyság, főként a törési energián keresztül, befolyásolja a nyírási vasalás nélküli vasbetongerendák nyírási teherbírását. A modell ugyancsak alátámasztja azt az építési gyakorlatban is használható elvet, hogy nagyméretű vasbeton szerkezethez nagyobb maximális szemnagyságú adalékanyagot használunk.

Sustainable Concrete: Exploring Fresh, Mechanical, Durability, and Microstructural Properties with Recycled Fine Aggregates
Authors: Panghal Harish , Kumar Awadhesh
Published: January 2024

The growing construction industry and global population have led to increased demand for concrete, resulting in increased waste production. Recycling construction and demolition (C&D) waste as recycled fine aggregates (RFA) in concrete could help reduce waste and conserve natural resources. This research delves into the meticulous examination of particle packing density within specific cylindrical volumes under standard compacting efforts, elucidating an order of compressive strength. The study comprehensively explores various concrete properties, including workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, drying shrinkage, electrical resistivity, rapid chloride penetration, and microstructural characteristics (analyzed through XRD, SEM, and EDAX). RFA particles, ranging from 0.15 to 4.75 mm, were employed as partial replacements for fine aggregates, with replacement percentages varying from 0% to 100% in increments of 25%. The empirical findings underscore that the incorporation of RFA significantly enhances concrete properties. However, it was observed that surpassing the optimum replacement percentage of 25% (RFA 25) adversely impacts the concrete’s strength and microstructure. Specifically, RFA 25 exhibited remarkable improvements, with a 14.75% increase in compressive strength, a 6.61% boost in flexural strength, and a 13.14% enhancement in split tensile strength compared to conventional concrete (RC). Furthermore, RFA 25 demonstrated a 4.16% increment in drying shrinkage, 17.65% higher electrical resistivity, and an 18.83% superior resistance to chloride penetration compared to RC. The analysis of XRD, SEM, and EDAX results elucidated that at lower replacement percentages, the pozzolanic reaction enhances strength by forming additional hydration products. Conversely, at higher replacement levels, strength diminishes.
Heat Recovery Variable Refrigerant Volume System Installation and Experiences from its Summer Operation

Published: January 2024

Variable refrigerant volume (VRV) systems operate on the principle of a cooling machine. They extract heat from one side and return it on the other, enabling them to function as a source of heat for both heating and hot water preparation, as well as a source of cold for cooling within a single building. These systems efficiently remove unnecessary excess heat outside and only introduce the required amount of heat from the outside into the building. With an appropriate configuration and setting, a VRV system can transfer heat in both directions within one system, eliminating the requirement for waste heat to be removed without use in the building. Instead, it is transferred to the desired locations where it is needed. This principle necessitates the adjustment of not only the refrigerant temperature but also its flow rate. Consequently, the VRV system can fulfil tasks that are otherwise handled by several individual systems in a building.A heat recovery VRV system was installed in a small retail store to extract waste heat generated by baking ovens during the baking process. This report provides a brief summary of electricity and energy consumption measurements taken during the summer period for cooling purposes. Sequential logic is observed and coherence is ensured, with active voice predominating for clearer and more direct communication. The parameters of interest include cooling setpoints, cooling outside of working hours, and capacity assessment.

Published: January 2024

Anomaly detection in a piece of data is a challenging task. Researchers use different approaches to classify data as anomalous. These include traditional, supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised techniques. A more recently introduced technique is Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), which is a deep learning-based technique. However, it is difficult to choose one anomaly detection algorithm over another because each algorithm stands out with its own performance. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a structured and comprehensive understanding of machine-learning based anomaly detection techniques. This paper carries out a survey of the existing literature on machine learning-based algorithms for anomaly detection. This paper places a special emphasis on Generative Adversarial Network-based algorithms for anomaly detection, since it is the most widely used machine-learning based algorithm for anomaly detection.

Ulceration colitis (UC) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory disorder in the gastro-intestinal tract. The purpose of our study is to explore the potential mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg1 (GS Rg1) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Acute colitis was induced in male C57BL/6 mice. In vitro model of LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells to simulate enteritis model. The disease activity index (DAI), colon length, body weight and histopathological analysis were performed in vivo. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers for oxidative and anti-oxidative stress, MPO level were measured in vivo and in vitro. Nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and NF-κB p65 protein levels were analyzed using western blotting. Our results indicated that the UC models were established successfully by drinking DSS water. GS Rg1 significantly attenuated UC-related symptoms, including preventing weight loss, decreasing DAI scores, and increasing colon length. GS Rg1 ameliorated the DSS-induced oxidative stress. IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels were significantly increased in serum and cell supernatant effectively, while treatment with the GS Rg1 significantly reduced these factors. GS Rg1 reduced MPO content in the colon. GS Rg1 treatment increased SOD and decreased MDA levels in the serum, colon, and cell supernatant. GS Rg1 restored the Nrf-2/HO-1/NF-κB pathway in RAW 264.7 cells and UC mice, and these changes were blocked by Nrf-2 siRNA. Overall, GS Rg1 ameliorated inflammation and oxidative stress in colitis via Nrf-2/HO-1/NF-κB pathway. Thus, GS Rg1 could serve as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of UC.

Cyberspace, an expanding and boundless platform created by a vast network of interconnected devices, has caused a fundamental change in communication, work, and information accessibility. The unprecedented potential of this platform, however, also poses major challenges in terms of privacy and security. Due to its multinational nature, cyberspace transcends the sovereignty of any one government and therefore evades exclusive ownership by a nation-state. Although the growth of digitalization has simplified many processes and increased productivity in daily life, this exponential growth has rendered the digital ecosystem more vulnerable to a wide range of cybersecurity threats. The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks and operations carried out by both state and non-state actors highlight the need for better international cooperation to help protect critical infrastructure from malicious actors. Collective action in response to global cyber threats requires consistency and adherence to ethical principles within the international community. Ethical approaches to leadership and international cooperation can play an important part in resolving global cybersecurity issues by paving the way for the development and adoption of better and more effective cybersecurity policies that can help mitigate the risk more optimally. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibilities of bolstering global solidarity via the use of ethical methods to combat the challenges posed by digital technology. The intricate and interconnected nature of cyber issues underscores the cruciality of ethical governance in the identification and implementation of practical solutions. The present study seeks to examine and assess the practicality, applicability, and efficiency of various ethical frameworks in addressing issues pertaining to digital platforms, thereby contributing to a better understanding of the interplay between ethics and cybersecurity. This study would contribute to the development of strategies for inspiring ethical and responsible behavior from public and private sectors regarding cybersecurity, and to the promotion of international solidarity and cooperation in addressing global cyber threats.

Le rouge, le noir, et l'inégalité: tax policy and inequality in the European Union
Authors: Chen James Ming , Šimurina Nika , Solenički Martina
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the impact of tax policy on income inequality in the European Union (EU). Each EU member-state has adopted a distinct set of fiscal policies. Although most member-states have coordinated their tax systems to promote economic growth, EU countries hold politically divergent views about income inequality and the power of taxation to redress inequality. This research applies linear regression methods incorporating regularization as well as fixed and random effects. Stacking generalization produces a composite model that dramatically improves predictive accuracy while aggregating causal inferences from simpler models. Social contributions, income taxes, and consumption taxes ameliorate inequality. Government spending, however, exacerbates inequality.
Identifying epigenetic aging moderators using the epigenetic pacemaker

Published: January 2024

Epigenetic clocks are DNA methylation-based chronological age prediction models that are commonly employed to study age-related biology. The difference between the predicted and observed age is often interpreted as a form of biological age acceleration, and many studies have measured the impact of environmental and disease-associated factors on epigenetic age. Most epigenetic clocks are fit using approaches that minimize the error between the predicted and observed chronological age, and as a result, they may not accurately model the impact of factors that moderate the relationship between the actual and epigenetic age. Here, we compare epigenetic clocks that are constructed using penalized regression methods to an evolutionary framework of epigenetic aging with the epigenetic pacemaker (EPM), which directly models DNA methylation as a function of a time-dependent epigenetic state. In simulations, we show that the value of the epigenetic state is impacted by factors such as age, sex, and cell-type composition. Next, in a dataset aggregated from previous studies, we show that the epigenetic state is also moderated by sex and the cell type. Finally, we demonstrate that the epigenetic state is also moderated by toxins in a study on polybrominated biphenyl exposure. Thus, we find that the pacemaker provides a robust framework for the study of factors that impact epigenetic age acceleration and that the effect of these factors may be obscured in traditional clocks based on linear regression models.

Background

Tularemia is caused by the intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis (Ft). It was weaponized historically due to low infectious aerosol dose, high morbidity, and mortality rates for pneumonic disease. The US Army developed the attenuated Live Vaccine Strain (LVS) from stocks provided by the former Soviet Union in the 1950s. The vaccine has been safe and immunogenic over the ensuing decades in multiple clinical trials including human challenge studies.

Methods

Two sequential FDA-regulated, non-randomized, single-arm LVS trials enrolled at-risk laboratory personnel working on tularemia in bio-containment laboratories under IND#157. Volunteers received a single dose of LVS manufactured in 1962 by scarification. Positive immunization was based on local scarification site “take reaction,” and either a >1:20 tularemia antigen microagglutination (MA) titer (protocol FY03-24; 2004-8) or >4-fold rise in MA titer (protocol FY07-15; 2009-2017). Those still negative by week 4 were offered a second dose.

Results

The LVS vaccine was safe, well tolerated, and highly immunogenic. Between the two studies, all recipients (100%) had positive “take reactions,” with 95.5% of those in study FY03-24 having a positive response following initial vaccination. All but three subjects (98%) in protocol FY03-24 had positive MA titer results defined as >1:20, most within 28–35 days. In protocol FY07-15, 95% of subjects had a 4-fold or greater rise in MA titer, the primary immunogenicity endpoint for that study.

Discussion

LVS vaccine administered to laboratory workers at risk for tularemia exposure over 12 years was safe and highly immunogenic. Response rates remained robust despite the vaccine lots employed having been manufactured 42–55 years prior to vaccination. The results and historical comparator data presented here serve as a benchmark for future studies. LVS remains unlicensed due to instability in culture and the potential for reversion to the wild-type pathogen. Despite the threat, there are no FDA-approved vaccines. In the absence of a clinical-stage commercial development effort, an ongoing LVS vaccine protocol under investigational new drug (IND) application for at-risk laboratory workers to prevent occupationally acquired disease should be considered based on extensive favorable data for this vaccine.
