Investment Proposals INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES 2018 OF KAZAKHSTAN Niche projects Mining and smelting industry Mining and smelting industry is the basis for industrialization of the national economy. 30% of the world's chrome ore reserves, 25% of manganese ores, 10% of iron ores are concentrated in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan reserves of copper, lead and zinc amount to 10% and 13% of the world reserves, respectively. Out of the 118 elements of the periodic table, 99 were revealed in Kazakhstan, 70 elements have explored reserves, and more than 60 elements are involved in production. Mining is one of the most socially important branches of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, on which development of regions, cities and towns, growth of jobs, as well as social, industrial and transport infrastructure are dependent. Development and processing of mineral resources in long term will remain an important source of economic growth. Large mining and smelting enterprises of the republic are mainly focused on production of primary metals. Most of their products are exported, while domestic market receives about 20%. A structure of production is dominated by raw materials and semi-finished products, which are processed abroad and re-imported into Kazakhstan in the form of finished products. It should also be noted that activities of mining and smelting enterprises were included in the list of priority investment directions in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Accordingly, these projects will receive support from the state along the entire production chain. 5 Mining and smelting industry Construction of a mining and processing complex and industrial development of Aidarly copper deposit Project description: Project implementation assumptions: This investment project (“Project”) provides for the High demand.

In the course of this study, historical, musical-theoretical, comparative and other methods were used. Prior to this study, only two singing traditions were distinguished, whereas in this article the existence of three singing traditions was scientifically proven, with identification of another singing tradition in the history of music of Kazakhstan. In the musical culture of Kazakhstan, songs of the western region were known as “songs in a heroic spirit”, but this article discovers different temperament of songs. The latest songs are composed by “kayki”.

Nazarbayev Str., 100027, Karaganda, Republic of Kazakhstan 2Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University, 59a Central Ave., Severodonetsk, 93406, Ukraine Abstract. The article is devoted to the analysis and systematization of data on hydrocarbon deposits in the Republic of Kazakhstan, highlighting those aspects that will allow the use of this method. The microbiological method of exposure refers to the chemical methods of the tertiary stage of development of oil reservoirs. It has already proven its effectiveness in highly depleted, waterflooded formations with irregular, diffuse oil saturation. Its main advantages are its relative cheapness, it does not require additional equipment during injecting of the microorganisms into the reservoir, and for their nutrition, as a rule, food industry waste is used, and its implementation cannot cause harmful effects on the environment. Also, a fairly extensive database was compiled, according to which various classifications of the republic's deposits were created. 1 Introduction removed, plus gases that can be extremely hazardous to health will be released.

The article presents the methodology and results of assessing the potential of tourist and recreational development of the Aktobe oblast. The inte- grated assessment of the tourist-recreational potential in the Aktobe oblast includes a criteria basis for evaluating three groups of tourism development resources: natural and climatic, historical and cultural, and socio-economic. Taking into account the lack of statistical indicators, the article analyzes the poten- tial of tourism in the districts of Aktobe oblast on the basis of evaluation criteria selected using the Gen- eral balance method. The tourist-recreational potential of natural and cultural resources of the Aktobe oblast has features that affect the development of the territorial organization of tourism. The objects of cultural and historical heritage that have been preserved to date reflect the identity of the Aktobe oblast. A thorough analysis of the results of the assessment of tourist and recreational activities of the oblast, competent work and investment give an idea of the territories where new tourist facilities may appear. As a result of the analysis, it turned out that these resources are located unevenly, and a high level of tour- ism development in the context of natural and climatic resources of the oblast is revealed in the service of tourists.

Biological material was obtained by biopsy of the chorion and placenta, amnio- centesis and cordocentesis. For the preparation of chromosome formations, the conventional “direct” method and the classical method of cell cultivation were used. Metaphase cells were stained with GTG and FISH methods. In total, 64 (10.9%) cases of fetal karyotype abnormalities were detected. Of these, genomic abnormalities accounted for 59 (10.0%), and structural – 5 (8.5%). Among the genomic ab- normalities in 39 (66.1%) cases, the fetus had a Down syndrome karyotype. The frequency of chromo- somal abnormalities in the fetus of pregnant women in Aktobe, where industrial facilities of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy are located, was 7.9%. The frequency of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in 3 districts of Aktobe region (fetal karyotypes of 39 pregnant women were studied) without large industrial facilities was 12.8%, and with the presence of large industrial complexes in 5 districts (fetal karyotypes of 131 pregnant women were studied) – 19,8%, which is 1.5 times more.

The concept of risk assessment is based on determining the individual and collective (population) risk of a pathological condition under the influence of adverse environmental factors [1, 2]. In modern conditions, public health directly depends on the safety of the environment and the level of disease prevention. The activity of a modern person is carried out in conditions of an increase in the intensity and duration of the action of adverse environmental factors. The combination, simultaneous or sequential action of several factors leads to a mutual burdening of their influence on the human body, causing a rapid depletion of human physiological reserves. In response to the effect of a certain dose (intensity and duration) of unfavorable factors, states of extreme stress of adaptation mechanisms with reversible phenomena of maladjustment can develop [3].

However, the excess of radonconcentrationwas registered at the site of land allocation for average global construction, and the radionuclide content (226Ra, 232Th, 40Ê) in the soil of some regions was higher than the worldwide background (percentage abundance) and multi-year average data for the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan.

The article aims at presenting the steps of preparing the brucellosis questionnaire to identify infection risk factors. Methods ― A questionnaire is developed based on the Health Belief Model to arrange interviews among the adult population of the Aktobe region. Stages of the drafting process included: 1) review of relevant literature sources; 2) assessment of the target audience to calculate N (number of interviewees); 3) development of the questionnaire itself; 4) testing the tool in focus-groups; 5) validation through Cronbach’s alpha (α) calculation to reach the internal consistency of the questionnaire; 6) final editing of the survey tool. The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated using the item-analysis in the SPSS Modeler.v.25. Results ― The designed questionnaire consisted of the three domains with twenty-two questions of the semi-closed type and underwent testing in the focus-group of ninety-eight livestock owners.
