One of the aspects of gender equality in society is also the language policy. Authors also suggest discussing this subject, involving experience of feministic linguistics of other countries, and first of all, of Germany. Gender and sensitive use of the language in oral and written communication is especially urgent for Kazakhstan as culturally determined features of the language policy in this cultural space have a gap due to the low level of special attention paid to gender democracy in the language. But at the same time, it creates a vast platform for further researches in this direction.

  • Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age

    Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age

    Open Archaeology 2021; 7: 3–36 Review Stanislav Grigoriev* Andronovo Problem: Studies of Cultural Genesis in the Eurasian Bronze Age https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2020-0123 received June 8, 2020; accepted November 28, 2020. Abstract: Andronovo culture is the largest Eurasian formation in the Bronze Age, and it had a significant impact on neighboring regions. It is the important culture for understanding many historical processes, in particular, the origins and migration of Indo-Europeans. However, in most works there is a very simplified understanding of the scientific problems associated with this culture. The history of its study is full of opposing opinions, and all these opinions were based on reliable grounds. For a long time, the existence of the Andronovo problem was caused by the fact that researchers supposed they might explain general processes by local situations. In fact, the term “Andronovo culture” is incorrect. Another term “Andronovo cultural-historical commonality” also has no signs of scientific terminology. Under these terms a large number of cultures are combined, many of which were not related to each other. In the most simplified form, they can be combined into two blocks that existed during the Bronze Age: the steppe (Sintashta, Petrovka, Alakul, Sargari) and the forest-steppe (Fyodorovka, Cherkaskul, Mezhovka). Often these cultures are placed in vertical lines with genetic continuity. However, the problems of their chronology and interaction are very complicated. By Andronovo cultures we may understand only Fyodorovka and Alakul cultures (except for its early stage); however, it is better to avoid the use of this term. Keywords: Andronovo culture, history of study, Eurasia 1 Introduction The Andronovo culture of the Bronze Age is the largest archaeological formation in the world, except for the cultures of the Scytho-Sarmatian world of the Early Iron Age.

    Executive Summary

    MERCURY SITUATION REPORT IN KAZAKHSTAN 2017 Public Fund «The Center «Cooperation for Sustainable Development» Republic of Kazakhstan 06 July, 2018 1 Executive summary 1. Introduction The problem of mercury pollution is very relevant for Kazakhstan. There are historical foci of mercury pollution on the territory of Kazakhstan. Mercury reaches the environment as a result of industrial processes and active usage in products in the country. The population living in areas of historical pollution, workers of industrial enterprises, as well as the population that widely uses mercury-containing products, belongs to the most vulnerable groups. These groups need prompt measures by the state to minimize the impact of mercury, including restoring contaminated areas, reducing mercury emissions from production, introducing a mercury-containing waste collection system, and raising awareness of the hazardous effects of mercury and methods for the safe handling of mercury-containing products and waste. Currently, Kazakhstan has not ratified or signed the Minamata Convention on Mercury. In this regard, the preparation of this review on the mercury situation in the country is very important for the government bodies, enterprises, non-governmental organizations to assess the current situation and develop recommendations for solving the mercury pollution problems in Kazakhstan. This report was prepared by the Public Fund "The Center" Cooperation for Sustainable Development" on the basis of its own research, data of authorized bodies and agencies of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the results of previously implemented projects. “The Center” Cooperation for Sustainable Development is an NGO, which actively works in the field of chemical safety in Kazakhstan, including the direction of mercury pollution.

    Assessing the Competitiveness of Kazakhstan Regions: Creating an Index

    E3S Web of Conferences 159, 05002 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202015905002 BTSES-2020 Assessing the competitiveness of Kazakhstan regions: creating an index Aknur Zhidebekkyzy1,*, Rimma Sagiyeva1, Zhansaya Temerbulatova1 1Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, al-Farabi Ave. 71, 050040 Almaty, Kazakhstan Abstract. Today there is no single universally accepted method for assessing the competitiveness of the country's regions. For this reason, the research created a methodology for assessing competitiveness at the regional level for Kazakhstan. The three-factor model of Huggins for ranking the regions of Great Britain by the level of competitiveness was used as the basis, and then the model was expanded on the example of a study assessing the competitiveness of the regions of the European Union countries. All data for assessing the competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan were collected from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the article, 14 regions and 2 cities of republican significance were ranked in terms of competitiveness. As a result, the most competitive regions of Kazakhstan were Almaty city, Atyrau region and Nur-Sultan city, the worst indicator was found for the North Kazakhstan and Zhambyl regions. 1 Introduction Today, one of the highest priorities facing each state is increasing national competitiveness. National competitiveness reflects the country's ability to achieve high rates of economic growth and maintain it in the long run, control the efficient use of resources and compete in the international arena. For increasing the level of national competitiveness, it is important to understand its formation structure.

Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan; 2 Faculty of Architecture and Construction, S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University, Kazakhstan *Corresponding Author, Received: 13 July 2019, Revised: 12 Aug. 2019, Accepted:29 Aug. 2019 ABSTRACT: Before building the storm sewer networks the analysis of precipitation is very important. The issues of assessing the reliability of the information on the annual amounts of precipitation in the meteorological monitoring system of the KazHydroMet State Hydrometeorological Service of Kazakhstan are considered. An assessment is made of the homogeneity of the spatial correlation function, as the basis of the cartographic modeling of the statistical parameters of annual precipitation amounts. A special study aimed at studying the processes of cyclical fluctuations in the temporal variability of annual and summer precipitation amounts for stations representing all regions of the country. The data of daily precipitation of Kazakhstan in the period 1936-2017 were processed. When processing data, an open-source computer program R was used. The results will be useful for designers and researchers. A statistically significant increase in the maximum daily precipitation of 2–4 mm per 10 years was recorded at the Arkalyk, Aksay, Atyrau, Ushtobe, Bektauat and Karabalyk meteorological stations. At some stations in the Akmola and Pavlodar regions, as well as in the south and southeast of the republic, a statistically significant reduction of 2-6 days per 10 years was observed for the maximum duration of the period without precipitation.
