In recent years, the automotive industry has developed rapidly, and the lack of oil resources and the increasingly serious environmental pollution caused by car exhaust emissions pose serious problems for its further development. Hydrogen, as an alternative motor fuel, has its own unique advantages in improving fuel economy and reducing harmful gas emissions. However, we cannot directly use hydrogen as an alternative fuel because of its high cost. properties.

Background/Aim. Due to the dire situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, medical students from all over the world have been involved in the fight against the new virus. We aimed to study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the medical students’ quality of life in the context of altruistic behavior.Methods. In total, 437 medical students from Astana Medical University and Kazakh-Russian Medical University participated in a cross-sectional study. Altruistic behavior was assessed to what extent the participants showed certain acts of altruism. To evaluate the immediate psychological impact of COVID-19, we conducted an online survey, using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Personal Well-being Index (PWI), and Academic Motivation Scale. Results. Female students showed a lower level of PWI and a higher level of Fear of COVID-19. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 14.4%, 18.1%, and 6.6%, respectively, and was correlated with Fear of COVID-19. Students with confirmed COVID-19, students with family members or friends with confirmed COVID-19, and students who lived with high-risk people had a high risk for low personal and psychological well-being. Altruistic behavior during the COVID-19 was associated with high PWI. Volunteering and providing medical care students demonstrated a higher level of personal and psychological well-being, and satisfaction with the profession. But, working in provisional hospitals was associated with symptoms of stress.Conclusion. Despite the negative impact of the COVID-19, altruistic behavior had a positive impact on medical students ‘quality of life

The aim of the study: to assess the attitude of the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan to voluntary vaccination against COVID-19.Methods. The study is based on the results of a sociological survey conducted by the authors from March to May 2021. The survey was conducted among residents who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The total number of respondents is 252, of which 60.7% (n = 153) are women and 39.4% (n = 99) are men. The average age of the respondents was 31.7 ± 12.5.Results. In total 84.5% of respondents did not agree to receive the vaccine, and 8.3% found it difficult to answer. According to our data, 38% of respondents believe that the effectiveness of vaccination is not fully proven, and 31% are sure that vaccines against COVID-19 are harmful to human health. 17% of the respondents noted that information about the vaccine was not available, most of which were from the rural population.Conclusions. Advocacy for COVID-19 vaccination is not available to the public, especially in rural areas. We hypothesize that the main reason for the rejection of voluntary vaccination is that the majority of the population believes that the effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19 is incompletely proven and they can be harmful to health. Requires a wide range of active public awareness activities by health organizations and various public organizations to increase public confidence in COVID-19 vaccine prevention

ObjectivesTo investigate whether citizens’ adherence to health-protective non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during the COVID-19 pandemic is predicted by identity leadership, wherein leaders are perceived to create a sense of shared national identity.DesignObservational two-wave study. Hypotheses testing was conducted with structural equation modelling.SettingData collection during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, Germany, Israel and the USA in April/May 2020 and four weeks later.ParticipantsAdults in China (n=548, 66.6% women), Germany (n=182, 78% women), Israel (n=198, 51.0% women) and the USA (n=108, 58.3% women).MeasuresIdentity leadership (assessed by the four-item Identity Leadership Inventory Short-Form) at Time 1, perceived shared national identification (PSNI; assessed with four items) and adherence to health-protective NPIs (assessed with 10 items that describe different health-protective interventions; for example, wearing face masks) at Time 2.ResultsIdentity leadership was positively associated with PSNI (95% CI 0.11 to 0.30, pp≤0.017) except Israel (95% CI −0.03 to 0.27, p=0.119). In Germany, the more people saw Chancellor Merkel as engaging in identity leadership, the more they adhered to health-protective NPIs (95% CI 0.04 to 0.18, p=0.002). In the USA, in contrast, the more people perceived President Trump as engaging in identity leadership, the less they adhered to health-protective NPIs (95% CI −0.17 to −0.04, p=0.002).ConclusionsNational leaders can make a difference by promoting a sense of shared identity among their citizens because people are more inclined to follow health-protective NPIs to the extent that they feel part of a united ‘us’. However, the content of identity leadership (perceptions of what it means to be a nation’s citizen) is essential, because this can also encourage people to disregard such recommendations.

A new luminescent material based on complex borate NaBaY(BO3)2 doped with Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions was obtained by high-temperature solid-state synthesis. Using X-ray diffraction analysis it was shown that NaBaY(BO3)2:0.07Tb3+:0.1Eu3+ crystallizes in trigonal system with the space group R-3m and isotypic with the mineral buetschliit K2Ca(CO3)2. The crystal structure of the phosphor is layered, formed from [BO3] triangles, [YO6] octahedra, [BaO9] and [NaO9] polyhedra. The calculated unit cell parameters for NaBaY(BO3)2:0.07Tb3+:0.1Eu3+ are: a=5.3510(6) Å, c=17.9338(3) Å, V=444.71(2) Å3. The luminescent properties of NaBaY(BO3)2:0.07Tb3+:0.1Eu3+ were studied.

Although global warming is an indisputable fact, there is still uncertainty about how climate change will occur at regional levels. Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world. To best manage this country’s limited water resources, socio-economic development and environmental protection, a solid understanding of regional climate change impacts is needed. In this study, tree-ring width and δ13C chronologies were established based on 99 tree-ring samples of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey.) collected in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Climate response analysis between the tree-ring chronologies and climate data indicates that summer mean temperature is the strongest climate signal recorded by tree-ring δ13C. We reconstructed temperature change in southern Kazakhstan since 1850 C.E. using the tree-ring δ13Ccorr chronology. The results show that the temperatures in southern Kazakhstan have risen at a rate of about 0.27 °C per decade over the past 166 years. However, the rate has increased by as much as 0.44 °C per decade over the past 30 years. Analyses of temperature and precipitation data show that the climate has alternated between warm-dry and cold-humid periods over the past 166 years. The extreme droughts of 1879, 1917 and 1945 were caused by the combination of continuously high temperatures and reduced precipitation.

This research was supported by a grant from the German Research Foundation awarded to RvD, NMJ, and JAH (DI 848/15-1 and HA 6455/4-1). The data collection for this study was supported by a grant from the association of friends and supporters (Freunde & Förderer) at Goethe University. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered health-related anxiety in ways that undermine peoples’ mental and physical health. Contextual factors such as living in a high-risk area might further increase the risk of health deterioration. Based on the Social Identity Approach, we argue that social identities can not only be local that are characterized by social interactions, but also be global that are characterized by a symbolic sense of togetherness and that both of these can be a basis for health. In line with these ideas, we tested how identification with one’s family and with humankind relates to stress and physical symptoms while experiencing health-related anxiety and being exposed to contextual risk factors. We tested our assumptions in a representative sample (N = 974) two-wave survey study with a 4-week time lag. The results show that anxiety at Time 1 was positively related to stress and physical symptoms at Time 2. Feeling exposed to risk factors related to lower physical health, but was unrelated to stress. Family identification and identification with humankind were both negatively associated with subsequent stress and family identification was negatively associated with subsequent physical symptoms. These findings suggest that for social identities to be beneficial for mental health, they can be embodied as well as symbolic. Publisher PDF

Background Burnout is a serious problem in the training and professional development of medical students. However, there is no known data on the prevalence of burnout among medical students in Kazakhstan. This study aims at investigating burnout and associated factors in a sample of students from Astana Medical University. Methods The study included socio-demographic and personal questions, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory for college students (OLBI-S) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory-Students survey (CBI-S) to measure burnout. Statistical analyses included measures of descriptive statistics and regression analysis for evaluating burnout-associated factors. Results In total, 736 medical students responded. The prevalence of burnout syndrome was 28% (CBI-S) and 31% (OLBI-S). There was a significant association between the prevalence and the level of burnout and student’s gender, year of study, thoughts of dropping out, suicidal ideation, satisfaction with the chosen profession and academic performance, interpersonal relationship problems, the decision to study in medical school, smoking, accommodation, parental expectations, alcohol use, extracurricular activities, part-time job, somatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety. Conclusions The factors associated with burnout were identified, which complements and expands the existing data on academic burnout. The data obtained can help in organizing psychological assistance for medical students in Kazakhstan.

The study aimed to investigate the influence of psychological well-being and different study format on the academic motivation of 1st-year medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Repeated cross-sectional study carried out in November 2020 (time 1) and March 2021 (time 2). During time 1 (N = 273), all students studied online. In time 2 (N = 159), both students who learned online only (N = 86) and students who were taking (N = 33) or passed offline classes (N = 40) were trained. The mental state of the students was stable overtime of observation. The effect of the level of psychological destruction and quality of life affecting by the COVID-19 pandemic on academic motivation was minimal. The level of academic motivation was higher in time 2; this was especially noticeable among students who underwent blended learning. The mediating role of satisfaction with academic life and college belongingness in the relationship between the learning format and motivation was found. Blended type of education during a pandemic is more favorable for students in terms of their motivation to study. Further epidemiological studies are needed to assess the safety of blended learning. However, we would like to emphasize that no cases of COVID-19 in the blended learning format have been reported.

Non-centrosymmetric borates K 7 CaR 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 have been synthesized by solid state reaction and successfully grown by the top seeded solution growth method using K 2 O-B 2 O 3 -CaF 2 flux. IR, Raman, absorption spectra as well as data on melting temperature for the crystals were obtained. Optical properties like UV absorption edge and SHG intensity were compared with KH 2 PO 4 (KDP)and K 7 CaY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 .

Fluctuations in glacier mass and volume are indicative of changes in the climate system. They also strongly affect regional climate and hydrology. In this paper, we explore possible relationships between the radial growth of Schrenk spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey) and the mass balance of the Tsentralniy Tuyuksuyskiy (TS. Tuyuksuyskiy) Glacier, which is located on the northern slopes of the Tianshan Mountains in arid central Asia. We attempt to reconstruct the historical mass balance variability of the TS. Tuyuksuyskiy glacier using tree-ring widths and stable carbon isotope chronologies. The reconstruction is able to explain 62.1% of the variance in the annual glacier mass balance record over the 1965–2014 calibration period. We also analyzed centennial mass balance variability and its linkages to climate change. The TS.Tuyuksuyskiy glacier has a negative annual mass balance in most years and, since 1968, has undergone the most rapid and longest melting process in the past 166 years. The mass balance change of the glacier is controlled by the combination of temperature and precipitation conditions. This study could be useful for more detailed glaciological, hydrological, and climatological assessments in this portion of the Tianshan Mountains.

With the development of information technology, other industries are also developing, completely new and unfamiliar ways of communication, creation, and learning are becoming popular. Thus, the modern world makes new demands on the learning process. However, despite the development of distance and inclusive education, the natural sciences due to their peculiarities lag behind other fields of science. This is due to the fact that in order to effectively acquire skills in working with equipment and the ability to analyze experimental data, physics, chemistry, and other exact sciences require executing laboratory works. However, this requires specially equipped laboratories that are not always staffed in educational institutions. Then, new technologies, such as computer graphics, augmented reality, computational dynamics and others come to the rescue. This article discusses the use of modern technologies in the field of education. The analysis of the introduction of various innovative developments with the virtual reality into some spheres of modern life was also conducted. The work introduces the advantages and possibilities of using educational resources based on the virtual reality in education and, in particular, for studying physics. The authors present the software that allows studying physics with the help of virtual reality. Such approach made the interaction with the application more interesting and memorable, and learning more effective. As development platform the cross platform Unity 3D environment was chosen. The main functionality was written in C#. Graphic models were created using Substance Painter. Additionally, in the article the development process of the application was considered along with its functionality and user interface. The work done allowed the authors to identify the advantages of using new technologies in the study of physics and showed that they open new prospects for their wide application at different stages of education in educational institutions of various levels. This approach in addition to the advantages mentioned above makes the learning process safe, interesting and more accessible. As a result, not only software was developed, but new experience was gained, which will be used for further development and research.

The study aimed to investigate the relationships between academic motivation and the psychological well-being of 1st-year medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of respondents in the cross-sectional study was 273. Intrinsic motivation was positively correlated with fear of COVID-19 and negatively correlated with psychological collapse and negative changes in quality of life due to the COVID-19. Extrinsic motivation positively associated with fear of COVID-19. Amotivation positively correlated with psychological collapse and negative changes in quality of life. In conclusion, COVID-19-related changes in quality of life and psychological destruction were predictors of academic motivation among 1st-year medical students.

This study aims at investigating burnout and associated factors in a sample of medical students from Astana Medical University (AMU), using the Russian version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory - Student Survey (R-CBI-S), which was validated in the current study. 771 medical students responded. The study included socio-demographic and personal questions, and a tool to measure burnout. Statistical analyses included test-retest reliability, internal consistency, item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis for validation and measures of descriptive statistics, and logistic regression analysis for evaluating burnout. The R-CBI-S demonstrated good reliability and validity. The test-retest reliability showed an ICC of 0.81. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.94. R-CBI-S achieved good levels of goodness-of-fit indices (RMSEA = 0.0611; CFI = 0.940; TLI = 0.933). Overall, 28% of medical students reported burnout; R-CBI-S mean score was 40. There is no significant gender difference in burnout. On regression analysis, to be a 2nd year student, compare to dormitory students live at home or rented a house, having suicidal ideation, having thoughts of dropping out, having interpersonal relationship problems with family or friends, smoking, using alcohol were independently associated with increased risk for burnout. Enrolling in a medical university by its own decision and having satisfaction with academic performance associated with a decreasing of developing burnout syndrome. In conclusion, the test results indicated the R-CBI-S scale appears to be a reliable and valid instrument. Factors associated with burnout were identified.

In the article devoted to the study of the phenomenon of intertextuality, an attempt is made to characterize various approaches to the definition of the concepts of "intertextuality" and "intertext", as well as to consider the most common classifications of intertextual relations in the scientific literature. The authors point out the absence of clear boundaries between the concepts of "intertextuality" and "intertext", recognized by a number of researchers. Based on a review of theoretical literature and analysis of existing points of view, it is concluded that intertextuality is a fundamental property of any text. The authors also point out the presence of significant diversity in approaches to the definition and typology of this phenomenon, which is due to its complexity and versatility..

Low temperature C2/c and high temperature P321 modifications of SmxSc4-x (BO3)4 solid solutions were grown from LiBO2–LiF flux. These borates have typical luminescence for Sm3+ containing crystals with the two strongest peaks at 602 and 645 nm, which correspond to 4G5∕2 → 6H7∕2, 6H5∕2 electron transitions. In addition, the compounds were characterized by IR and Raman spectroscopy. SHG intensity for trigonal modification was found to be three times higher than that of KDP revealing its high potential for various NLO applications.

Introduction: The coronavirus infection COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread rapidly around the world. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared an outbreak of coronavirus infection a pandemic. The first case in Kazakhstan was registered on March 13, 2020. On March 16, a state of emergency was declared in Kazakhstan. Since March 19, quarantine has been introduced in Nur-Sultan and Almaty. From March 20, confirmed cases of COVID-19 began to be registered in other regions of the country. Since March 30, quarantine has been introduced in other cities of the country. Therefore, the maintenance of nursing documentation on coronavirus infection at the nursing level plays an important role. Aim: Increase the level of care at the nursing level in the context of the global coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic by introducing nursing documentation. Methods: Within the framework of this study, international and domestic experience in the fight against COVID-19 was studied. The incidence and mortality of COVID-19 in the world and in Kazakhstan has been studied. The nursing documentation form (checklist) was developed using the adapted Clinical Care Classification of the International Nursing Practice Classifier. Results: As of January 18, 2021, a total of 171,232 cases were detected in the Republic of Kazakhstan, of which 155,397 patients recovered, 2,403 cases with a lethal outcome were registered. To improve the provision of care to patients at the nursing level, a form for nursing documentation has been developed "Nursing reception and nursing care during the initial visit of the patient to the out-patient department/filter with signs of SARS, including COVID-19". According to the survey on a 10-point scale, 70.7% of the survey participants rated this form at 6-10 points, including 37.6% at 10 points. Conclusion: The analysis made it possible to identify the nature of the epidemiological situation for coronavirus infection COVID-19 in the world, which served as the basis for the development of nursing documentation to improve preventive measures to combat coronavirus infection at the nursing process level., Введение: Коронавирусная инфекция COVID-19 вызванная SARS-CoV-2 продолжает быстро распространяться по всему миру. 11 марта 2020 года Всемирной организацией здравоохранения вспышка коронавирусной инфекцией объявлена пандемией.

In reference to the announcement of the pandemic of the new coronavirus 2019-(nCoV), all educational institutions in the Republic of Kazakhstan have switched to online learning (OL). The purpose of this study was to investigate the mental state of the medical students switching to OL in comparison with the mental state of the students who had traditional learning (TL). A repeated questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students ranging from 1st year to 5th year at Astana Medical University in the 2019–2020 academic year. The first study was conducted during the TL (October–November 2019, N = 619), and the second study was conducted during the OL period (April 2020, N = 798). Burnout syndrome, depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms, and satisfaction with academic performance have been studied. The findings revealed that prevalence of the burnout syndrome, depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms decreased after transitioning from TL to OL. However, during the OL period, the prevalence of colleague-related burnout increased, which tells us about the negative impact of OL on students’ communication and interpersonal relationships. The most common depression and anxiety symptoms, dissatisfaction with academic performance were among students who indicated a decrease in academic performance during OL. Students who lived alone during the quarantine were more prone to depression during OL. In conclusion, during the quarantine period after the transition from TL to OL, the mental health state of medical students improved, despite the severe conditions of the pandemic.

Кристаллическая структура люминофора является слоистой, сформированной из [BO3] треугольников, [YO6] октаэдров, [BaO9] и [NaO9] полиэдров. Рассчитанные значения параметров элементарной ячейки составляют для NaBaY(BO3)2:0,07Tb3+:0,1Eu3+: a=5,3510(6) Å, c=17,9338(3) Å, V=444,71(2) Å3. Исследованы люминесцентные свойства NaBaY(BO3)2:0,07Tb3+:0,1Eu3+.

This paper considers the possibilities of assimilation of FEWS NET (Famine early Warning System Network) products in natural resource monitoring of the territory of Kazakhstan in the cold period. With an area of 2.7 million km2, Kazakhstan is located in the center of Eurasia in the arid zone, and snow is one of the most important water sources in the first half of the vegetation season. The products “Snow Depth”, “Temperature” and “Precipitation” developed for Central Asia are based on model meteorological data, including short-term weather forecasts. This information, presented in the form of regular matrices, has several advantages in efficiency and spatial detailing over direct ground (remote) measurements of meteorological parameters. The use of FEWS NET products for the environmental monitoring of the entire territory of Kazakhstan or its separate parts is of benefit for assessing the current situation on snow reserves, weather regimes and prospects for spring snowmelt.

The paper describes the project on physics learning. It was implemented using the Unity game engine, Leap Motion package to provide controlling within the laboratory works, and C# programming language in order to define logic between objects of the app. Also, the survey on the efficiency of similar projects and applications is presented. It was conducted among students of the high school. The observations on using of virtual reality technology are also given. The main purpose of the article is to demonstrate and evaluate use of the application in subject’s learning and its efficiency. The paper also raises question on educational tools relevance and modernity.

Objective: Anogenital warts (condyloma acuminatum or veneral warts) are a common sexually transmitted disease among males and females. The causal role of human papilloma virus in anogenital wart formation has been firmly established. Case presentation: We report a case of a giant condyloma acuminata involving the penis, inguinoscrotal area and extending to the pubic region in a 30-year-old male patient. It was treated by wide surgical excision. Excision defect was extensive and required cover with fascio-cutaneous flap. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. Histological examination confirmed giant condyloma acuminata without evidence of malignancy. Conclusion: While there is no standard treatment for giant condyloma acuminate due to its biological behavior, surgical excision remains the method of choice to achieve local control of the disease. This case report confirms previous observation that extensive giant condyloma acuminate involving the penis or groin areas rarely become malignant compared to that involving the anorectal area of the body.
