THE COMPETENCY-BASED APPROACH IN A NEW MODEL OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES IN THE FIELD OF LABOR PROTECTION USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE OIL INDUSTRY OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article considers the methodological basis of the competency-based approach in a new model of training and development of professional competencies in the field of labor protection using the example of the oil industry of Kazakhstan. The largest companies in the oil industry in Kazakhstan are global public companies, which are influenced by both interested parties in the Republic of Kazakhstan, consumers of products abroad, and regulatory bodies of international, public, and financial institutions. This means that basic legislative obligations in the field of occupational health and safety need to be met well, while incorporating voluntary initiatives and international best practice. Over the past fifteen years, the scope of the H&S profession has expanded from engineering and physical sciences to psychology, human factors and ergonomics, management, and injury risk management. The focus has shifted from safety, which is a “hard”, purely technical, and practical endeavor, to “soft parameters” such as non-hazardous behavior, awareness, and responsibility. This expanding content and intellectual demand, in turn, has led to increased complexity and expanded competencies of the occupational safety professional.

Physico-chemical aspects of uranium extraction for investigation of underground well leaching control systems

This article gives the physical and chemical aspects of uranium extraction from the zones of reservoir oxidation using ultrasonic technology and the theoretical justification for the technology of in-situ borehole leaching (ISL) of uranium deposits in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has significant reserves, well-explored uranium deposits, developed uranium mining and processing capacities, as well as the current state of the world uranium market, which determine the prospects for the development of the uranium mining industry in Kazakhstan. Ore deposits of uranium deposits localized at the fronts of seam oxidation zones are largely similar in terms of the chemical composition of host rocks. Fe, Al, Mg, Ca, K, and Na are among the most widespread petrogenic elements of rock-forming minerals. Uranium is observed in association with iron, vanadium, selenium, molybdenum, rhenium, and other elements. Uranium mineralization is represented by exogenous (secondary) minerals – pitchblende and coffinite. In the general balance of uranium minerals, pitchblende is about 30%, and coffinite is about 70%. Nasturan (хUO2×yUO3×z) is represented by an association of tetravalent uranium dioxide and hexavalent uranium trioxide with a variable composition (UO2+UO3) - 65-85%, coffinite - tetravalent uranium silicate USiO4.

The study also seeks to develop and test hypotheses regarding the impact of external factors, such as time horizon, investment knowledge, and risk capacity, on the development of mutual funds in Kazakhstan. The research is based on a survey of professionals from the finance and banking industry in Kazakhstan, and the results indicate that consistent past performance, size of funds, and cost of transaction are the most important factors for mutual fund selection. The study concludes that the growth in mutual funds in Kazakhstan presents significant opportunities for investors, fund managers, and policymakers, but also highlights the need for continued research into the factors influencing mutual fund performance.

Freeze-Thaw resistance and mechanical properties of UHPC reinforced with a lower amount of hybrid fibers

Sustainable development is becoming critical in many industrial fields, including building materials. The rapid development of the construction industry in Kazakhstan requires construction materials having high-quality, low maintenance, and good durability. The main durability issue of construction material associated with Kazakhstan’s severe climate is the volume change of water in concrete caused by the freezing and thawing (F-T) cycles, which threatens the material’s strength and microstructure. Therefore, ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), a relatively new material with high compressive and tensile strength and improved microstructural properties, is suggested. Nevertheless, a limited number of researches have been done regarding the F-T resistance of UHPC. This research focuses on the effect of combining two types of fibers (steel and polypropylene (PP) fibers) on the compressive, flexural, and direct tensile strength and F-T resistance of UHPC. Test results indicated higher dosages of PP fiber in UHPC increased strength before exposure to F-T cycles. Adding PP fiber to UHPC led to more prolonged strains for each UHPC mixture. However, adding more steel fibers was beneficial for UHPC exposed to F-T cycles. Although mixtures with high steel fiber dosage presented a more brittle type of failure and lower strain values than mixtures with higher PP fiber dosage, the compressive, flexural, and tensile strength of UHPC mixtures containing higher steel fiber dosages increased after 90F-T cycles. Relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME), which is a common indicator of F-T resistance of concrete, tends to increase for all tested mixtures, with the highest values belonging to ones with higher steel fiber dosage. Hence, it is suggested that UHPC with higher steel fiber dosage is more beneficial in terms of the F-T resistance of UHPC.

Dairy industry in Kazakhstan: trends in increasing efficiency

Providing the population of Kazakhstan with dairy products is the main task of the dairy subcomplex. The existing potential and experience in the development of the industry not only make it possible to satisfy domestic needs, but also contribute to the implementation of export-oriented production. The goal is to review the market for milk and dairy products in the republic, study the current situation, and identify the main problems. Methods – abstract-logical, analysis and synthesis, comparison. Official data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan was used as an information base. Results – the main directions of development of agri-food segment are shown. The main indicators of the dairy sector are analyzed: assortment, per capita consumption in the regional reserve, consumer and retail price index. The authors note a number of specific features inherent in food markets in general, which depend on natural and climatic conditions, the relationship of production and economic processes with biological ones, the seasonality of production and sales, which causes uneven use of labor and equipment, material resources, as well as fluctuations in receipt of income, high share of labor costs in the pricing structure, limited supply of raw materials for obtaining finished dairy products, correlation of the quality of the final product, terms and conditions of storage, and transportation. The dynamics of production of the main types of products over the past five years is considered. Emphasis is placed on the reasons hindering the development of the dairy market: a reduction in the number of cows in agricultural enterprises and private farms in the village, a high level of wear and tear on equipment, and the lack of effective connections between commodity producers of raw materials and their processors, which leads to rising prices in the food market. Conclusions the increase in the cost of dairy products over the past three years leads to a decrease in consumption and production in the traditional dairy processing industry.

Fuel and Energy Complex of Kazakhstan: Geological and Economic Assessment of Enterprises in the Context of Digital Transformation

The relevance of the study is dictated by the growing role of the fuel and energy complex of developing countries in the decarbonization of the economy. The article discusses the digital transformation of mining enterprises in Kazakhstan, taking into account the transition to CRIRSCO international standards and growing competition in the global mineral market. The purpose of the study is to assess the current level of digitalization of the mining industry in Kazakhstan and to deepen the methodological apparatus of the geological and economic assessment of the enterprise based on the factual base of deposits. The role of the transformation of the mining sector in achieving the sustainability of the poorly diversified economy of Kazakhstan is shown. The importance of digitalization of the industry to complete the transition to CRIRSCO international standards and improve the assessment of the digital provision of enterprises in order to optimize their financial and economic policies is argued. It has been established that, at present, most of the enterprises in the investment-attractive mining sector have a low potential for the transition to a new technological paradigm. A methodological approach to the geological and economic assessment of these enterprises has been developed. To maintain high standards of management transparency through the digitalization of key business processes, along with well-known practices of economic analysis, the IDEF1 methodology was used. In order to expand the software ecosystem, the formats of electronic geological and economic databases are integrated into the digital infrastructure of the enterprise. It is substantiated that the introduction of high technologies in the mining industry requires institutional changes and coordinated interaction between the state, business, and universities as equal partners.

Realizing the benefits of a hydrogen industry in Kazakhstan

The prospects of hydrogen energy in Kazakhstan are mainly seen from an export-oriented perspective. There has been limited progress toward developing hydrogen-end use in Kazakhstan. This work presents a long-term vision on hydrogen end-use in the industry, transport and power sectors of Kazakhstan. The vision is fully aligned with the recently released Carbon-Neutrality Strategy of Kazakhstan and considers the experience of several countries which have developed a hydrogen strategy. Owing to the existing use of hydrogen in the chemical sector and refineries, these two were categorized as near-term end-use areas. The steel sector, heavy-duty transport (buses, trucks and railway) and hydrogen-fueled gas turbines are identified as mid-term end-use areas, as these options have fully matured to commercial use. Industrial heating, ships, aviation, power backup power and energy storage systems are long-term options. Developing hydrogen end-use requires dealing with technologies that have just entered the market and development stage technologies that are yet to reach commercial use. Both types rely on Kazakhstan's R&D and innovation capacity to make their economy cost-competitive. The analysis of R&D support in the country revealed systematic underfunding over the years compared with countries that have higher R&D capacity. The work also presents general approaches to hydrogen R&D in Kazakhstan for industry and academia, which are the main drivers of innovation.

THE CURRENT STATE OF THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The scientific article is devoted to the management of the current state of the oil and gas industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main calculations in the work were carried out on the data of one of the largest companies in the oil and gas industry of Kazakhstan, on the example of the national joint-stock company Exploration Production KazMunayGas. The activity of an oil and gas company is one of the most capital-intensive. Investments in exploration and technology are needed to sustainably operate and maintain and grow production volumes. In the context of volatility in world oil prices and exchange rates, as well as a decrease in production rates at some existing fields, it is necessary to constantly monitor the financial and economic condition of oil and gas companies. The effectiveness of enterprise management is mainly determined by the quality of its organization. Of great importance is the monitoring of the current state, its analysis and evaluation, as well as the adoption of timely and adequate measures to improve it. In carrying out monitoring and further analysis, the main information support is the data of the financial statements of the enterprise, i.e. balance sheet and income statement. In the process of managing an enterprise, in order to take adequate measures, it is extremely important to correctly assess the situation, determine the causes, and also develop a development strategy for the future period. The analysis of the financial and economic state implies not only a statement of facts on the state of the enterprise, not only formal assessments, but also includes identifying the causes of the current situation and finding ways and means to eliminate them, identifying new development opportunities.

The relevance of the scientific article is that the meat industry is considered a strategic direction of the agricultural sector of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is part of the food security system. One of the main tasks set before the researcher was to choose the best proportion of soy texturate in the minced meat semi-finished product. The article provides an organoleptic evaluation of the control and experimental samples, on the basis of which a choice was made regarding the percentage of replacement of minced meat with soy texturate.

Comparation Test on High-Quality Flax Resources for Oil and Fiber Production in Kazakhstan

ABSTRACT Oil flax stems are often burnt because of the low fiber content; this issue is especially serious in Kazakhstan. To solve this problem, this study aimed to determine which flax resources could exhibit a significant increase in stem yield without a decrease in seed yield. In a previous study in 2019, we tested seven types of flax stems at the research site of the S. Seifullin KATU campus. Here, a further investigation of the same resources, which was conducted in 2020, is described. According to the results, the UF03, UF05, and UF06 showed higher dynamics of plant height in the budding and blooming stages compared to a local Kazakhstani variety; this result greatly differed compared with the data from 2019. UF03 yielded the best oil quality, especially in terms of the linolenic acid and linoleic acid contents. UF02 had good performance in terms of yield and the largest fat content of all resources. More foreign flax resources should be introduced to improve the development of the flax industry in Kazakhstan.

Introduction of digital technologies in the food industry of Kazakhstan

The food industry can be attributed to one of the most popular industries for attracting investments. One of the most important tasks facing the country in matters of digitalization and control of the country's food security are the task of introducing digital technologies into the food industry. If we look at the results of the general marketing analysis, we can see that the food retail market in Kazakhstan is insufficiently developed. In case of attracting investments necessary for the modernization of production and the use of new technologies, food production will also improve. Due to the incomplete development of production and processing of agricultural products in the country, the share of imports far exceeds the share of exports. Even in the food industry, despite the presence of an export-oriented movement, there is a predominance. Innovations leading to digitalization achievements in the direction of transition to an electronic platform, information exchange data using a scanning code that allows you to find out food prices and all relevant information in the country are also considered. Therefore, at present, recommendations and studies have been given that domestic food consumption is not sufficiently provided with domestic products to consider their priority areas.
