He also provides technical support to Kazakhstan scientists through the U.S. State Department. Mikhail Ilyushchenko, Evgeny Lapshin, and Larissa Kuzmenko are with Almaty Institute of Power Engineering and Telecommunications, Almaty, Kazakhstan. E-mail: [email protected]. Another example and the subject of this article is the mercury pollution at a chemical facility near the city of Pavlodar. Pavlodar is located in the northeastern part of the republic of Kazakhstan (near Semey) and situated on the Irtysh River. It has a population of more than 330,000 people. The Pavlodar Chemical Plant is contaminated with mercury as a result of industrial activity that produced chlo- rine and alkali during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Studies have identified significant amounts of mercury pollution in the soil, water, and sediments. Organic mercury com- pounds, particularly methylmercury, are present in the sedi- ments. Methylmercury rather than inorganic mercury is bioconcentrated because organisms at various levels of the food chain better retain it. In particular, high levels of this compound were found in fish from Lake Balkyldak, which is located adjacent to the Pavlodar Chemical Plant. The mercury enters Lake Balkyldak as a result of soluble The Pavlodar Plant is Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia, contaminated with mercury bordered on the north by Russia; on the east by China; on as a result of industrial the south by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan; and activity during the 1970s, on the west by the Caspian Sea and Russia (see Figure 1).

    COVID-19 in Central Asia: Infographic Series KAZAKHSTAN Kazakhstan first announced a state of emergency and imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 16 to May 11. As cases started to climb after the lockdown lifted, and new data collection methods pointed to more 78,486 49,488 585 infections in the country than previously counted, the Total Confirmed Recovered Deaths government announced a second nationwide lockdown COVID-19 Cases from July 5 to August 2. Kazakhstan has the highest Source: JHU number of COVID-19 infections relative to population size in Central Asia. Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) Atyrau Tengiz Oil Field Almaty IMPACT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR COVID-19 is the biggest shock to Kazakhstan's economy in two decades, and has had a negative impact on economic growth. The economy is heavily reliant on foreign investment through ongoing oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The Tengiz Oil Field in the Atyrau region has reported upwards of 2,000 cases of COVID-19 among 36 shift camps and 57 companies operating in the field. Chevron-led Tengizchevroil owns the site, and has temporarily paused non-essential work activities in an attempt to slow the spread of cases. Entry restrictions may affect the movement of migrant workers staffing the project site. The capital, Nur-Sultan, and Kazakhstan's financial hub, Almaty, have led the count in confirmed cases of COVID-19. Hospitals in both major cities are reportedly nearing full capacity, and may be unavailable to new patients. In Nur-Sultan, the Presidential Hospital and City Hospital #2 recently resumed some level of surgical and other services, opening up access to acute trauma care.

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.

Selection and peer review under responsibility of Prof. Dr. Mustafa Gunduz, Cukurova University, Turkey. ©2021 Birlesik Dunya Yenilik Arastirma ve Yayincilik Merkezi, Lefkosa, Cyprus. Abstract The development years of sovereign Kazakhstan show that polylingualism in the society not only infringes on the rights and dignity of the Kazakh language but also creates necessary conditions for its development and progress. According to the state programme for language development, three languages’ priority has been approved: Kazakh, Russian and English. In addition to Kazakh as the state language and Russian as the language of inter-ethnic communication, English is an essential means of communication. The most important strategic task of education in Kazakhstan is, on the one hand, to preserve the best Kazakh educational traditions and, on the other hand, to provide school leavers with international qualifications and develop their linguistic consciousness, based on mastering the state, native and foreign languages.
