Dulatov, Republic of Kazakhstan, 110000, Kostanay, Chernyshevsky street, 59 Abstract. The investigated region is characterized by a diversity of landscapes: from forest-steppe to semi-desert. Lands of various areas, farms, fields and even sites vary in their properties and suitability for agricultural use. The lands have different effects not only on crop yields, but also on production costs, labor productivity and amount of gross and net income per unit of crops. These differences condition specialization of enterprises and cropping areas of the region, combination of crop and livestock sectors significantly. [Dambaulova G.K., Gorelova N.S., Dambaulov A.M.

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
    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.

  • Online Temptations: Divorce and Extramarital Affairs in Kazakhstan
    religions Article Online Temptations: Divorce and Extramarital Affairs in Kazakhstan Jasmin Dall’Agnola 1 and Hélène Thibault 2,* 1 Department of Social Science, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford OX3 0BP, UK; [email protected] 2 Department of Political Science and International Relations, School of Sciences and Humanities, Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan 01000, Kazakhstan * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In recent years, the institution of marriage in Muslim Central Asia has undergone profound transformations in terms of religious dynamics, migration patterns, and the impact of globalization. In Kazakhstan between 2014 and 2019, every third marriage ended in divorce. By examining how Muslim Kazakhs’ support for divorce and casual sex is related to their consumption of information obtained on the Internet, mobile phone, and social media, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on the transformative forces of information and communication technology (ICT) in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. It uses a mixed-method approach that contrasts wider statistical trends from the World Values Survey Wave 7 country dataset on Kazakhstan with empirical data from focus groups conducted in five different regions of the country in 2019, involving a total of 96 respondents. The findings from the statistical and non-statistical analysis show that frequent exposure to information online influences Muslim Kazakhs’ support for extramarital affairs and divorce. Yet, frequent use of ICTs does not necessarily weaken the institution of marriage. Apart from its effect on university-educated female Kazakh youth, it seems to reinforce traditional understanding of marriage obligations among older generations and young men.
