  • The Analysis of Women's Marital Rights in Kazakhstan
    The Analysis of Women’s Marital Rights in Kazakhstan: Challenges of Gender Equality. Aizhan Kapysheva. Nazarbayev University. 2014. In spite of numerous legal agreements, women in Kazakhstan are faced with discrimination and inequality both at work and at home. The following research will focus particularly on the problems such as involuntary marriage of underage girls and denial of husbands of paying alimony when divorced. It can be suggested that women’s rights (the dependent variable) have a relationship with the level of country’s development, including urbanization, education, female unemployment and mortality rates. It is important to highlight the impact of culture and history of the nature of marriages in Kazakhstan. Negative relationship between the variables could further result in decreasing women’s participation in the political and social life of Kazakhstan. With this paper I would like to analyze the situation of women’s rights in the society in the Republic of Kazakhstan and, in particular, to highlight the problems that young women face. According to the experts from the United Nations, gender issues are the third most important global issue after threats to peace and the environment, and a large body of scholarship suggests that these other two issues are actually closely associated with gender as well. By improving the role of women in the society, it is possible to address the issues of equality, non-discrimination and tolerance, which may consequently lead to the development of the state. In spite of numerous agreements and ratification of internationally accepted frameworks, such as Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action of the World Conference on Human Rights (ratified on the 25th of June 1993), European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), women in Kazakhstan are often faced with discrimination and inequality both at work and at home.

The first data about algal and cyanobacteria species diversity was represented for the Arys River basin and compared it to freshwater algae patterns of the related mountain regions. Altogether 82 species were found in 28 samples of phytoperiphyton on 13 sampling stations of the Arys River and its tributaries. Diatoms prevail in studied algal flora. Bioindication characterize the Arys River waters as temperate, moderately oxygenated, fresh, neutral water affected by a low to moderate level of organic pollution, Class II-III of water quality. The pattern of algae and cyanobacteria diversity distribution depends on altitude and local climatic and environmental conditions. Bacillariophyta species was richest in high mountain habitats, green algae, cyanobacteria and charophytes avoid high mountain habitats and have negative correlation with altitude. These results can be used as indicator of environmental changes in the mountainous areas. Three floristic groups were recognized in the studied river communities corresponding to the upper, middle and lower parts of the watershed.

    www.odfoundation.eu The year 2016 marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the largest opposition movement in the history of Kazakhstan The report was published on: 29 January 2016 www.odfoundation.eu The Open Dialog Foundation was established in Poland, in 2009, on the initiative of Lyudmyla Kozlovska (who is currently the President of the Foundation). The statutory objectives of the Foundation include the protection of human rights, democracy and rule of law in the post-Soviet area. Particular attention of the Foundation is focused on the region’s largest countries: Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. The Foundation pursues its goals through the organisation of observation missions, including election observation and monitoring of the human rights situation in the post-Soviet area. Based on these activities, the Foundation creates its reports and distributes them among the institutions of the EU, the OSCE and other international organisations, foreign ministries and parliaments of EU countries, analytical centres and media. In addition to observational and analytical activities, the Foundation is actively engaged in cooperation with members of parliaments involved in foreign affairs, human rights and relationships with the post-Soviet countries, in order to support the process of democratisation and liberalisation of their internal policies. Significant areas of the Foundation's activities also include support programmes for political prisoners and refugees. The Foundation has its permanent representative offices in Warsaw, Kiev

The study of endangered relict woody plants is a key component of biodiversity conservation strategies. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to compare anatomical features of the vegetative organs of relict Sogdian ash (Fraxinus sogdiana Bunge) growing in river valleys of the Sharyn State National Park in the Almaty region. In 2020-2021 young individuals of Sogdian ash were sampled, in the valleys of the Sharyn and Temirlik rivers to study, their root, stem, and leaf anatomical features for the first time. The lower and upper epidermis of F. sogdiana leaves were thicker in individuals growing at the Sharyn site than at the Temirlik site. In contrast to that, the thickness of the mesophyll was thicker in leaves from the Temirlik site. The cross-sectional area of the conductive bundles of plants were larger in trees from the Sharyn site. The morphometric parameters of the stem also had different results. The diameter of the roots were twice as large in Sogdian ash trees growing at the Sharyn site, likely due to the growing conditions, since the soil of the Sharyn River valley is meadow, stony and pebbly, compared to the Temirlik River, which is a deposit of red clay mixed with crushed stone and rock remnants.

On 09.04.2019, Tokayev announced snap presidential elections to take place on 09.06.2019. Campaigning officially started on 11.05.2019 and will end on 07.06.2019. B. Having left the post of President, Nazarbayev is counting on retaining power through his constitutionally enshrined status as “First President – Leader of the Nation”1. In 2018 Nazarbayev became lifelong chairman of the Security Council.2 The decisions of the Security Council and of the Chairman of the Security Council are binding for state organs, organisations and official persons of Kazakhstan.3 Nazarbayev remains chairman of the Nur Otan political party. Through Nur Otan, Nazarbayev controls the Maslikhats (local councils) and the Majilis (lower chamber of Parliament). In the 47-strong Senate, when President, Nazarbayev appointed 15 senators.4 The Maslikhats elect the remaining 32 senators. In March 2019, Nazarbayev’s daughter, Dariga Nazarbayeva, was appointed as chairwoman of the Senate.5 Nazarbayev is also member-for-life of the Constitutional Council.6 Nazarbayev has likewise retained control over the massive state holding fund ”Samruk-Kazyna” 7 , and the National Fund of Kazakhstan.
