On a Uniformly Accelerated Point Charge moving along a Cusp

A uniformly accelerated point charge which moves neither in a straight line nor in a circle, but in a cusp, is investigated. We find the angular distribution of the Larmor radiation, the constant power, and the intensity in the maximal direction. It is found that the intensity of uniformly accelerated cusp motion scales like non-uniformly accelerated synchrotron radiation. We confirm the exact vacuum excitation spectra of quantized field detectors on the world line.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure

On particle production, negative energy flux and acceleration horizons

In the moving mirror model, removal of acceleration horizons gives rise to negative energy flux. The total emitted energy is positive and finite, in agreement with quantum inequalities and the second law of thermodynamics [1]. Exact solutions to the moving mirror model have been found which demonstrate this rare effect

Pre-service Teachers’ Awareness of Communicative Behavior Variations in Translated Film Discourse

AbstractThe issue of national communicative behavior research became urgent with the rapid development of international relations. Interest to the representatives of another lingua cultural community grows together with the development of the latter. The films provide the audience an opportunity not only to embrace the atmosphere of modern life of that or another country but also to get acquainted with its cultural features and traditions. The present paper discusses the study conducted in one of Kazakhstani universities (Suleyman Demirel University) aiming at investigating awareness of pre-service teachers of the variations in verbal and nonverbal communicative behaviors of Kazakhs and Americans through the means of original and translated film discourse on an example of one of the latest movies The Amazing Spider Man. The results of the study showed that the majority of the pre-service teachers are aware of the differences in communicative culture, both verbal and nonverbal of Kazakhs and Americans

Scientific Program "Discovery Kazakhstan”: Overcoming Break-up in Intercultural Communication

The article is aimed at analyzing a short-term experiment held on the basis of Suleyman Demirel University (Almaty, Kazakhstan) in the frame of the program “Discovery Kazakhstan”. The program included language courses (Turkish, Russian, Kazakh and English) in combination with tourist and scientific components and popular science information, mainly related to cultural studies. The program also included the course “Modern Kazakhstan: its social, economic and cultural potential”, which details the features of the Kazakhstani economy, Kazakh and Russian cultures, milestones of Kazakh history and peculiarities of education system in Kazakhstan. Participants of the program “Discovery Kazakhstan” were students from Turkey, USA and Malaysia. The experiment showed that a combination of language courses with tourist and scientific programs, as well as with some elements of entertainment, provides opportunities for improving and optimizing the educational process as a whole and for growing rapport between nations through the implementation of a soft power policy and intercultural contacts, in particular. Keywords: Kazakh culture, Russian culture, soft power policy, summer school, language courses, scientific touris

Причины возникновения и способы преодоления коллизий в праве с позиции позитивистского правопонимания (легистский и социологический подходы)

The article describes the history of occurrence of positivism as a scientific course, its main ideas, the nature of the positivist school, as well as the problem of the causes and ways to overcome collisions in the law in modern legal literature, mainly from the perspective of the positivist understanding of law. Observed synthesis legistic and sociological approaches to the law on this subject. In the given work achievements of domestic authoritative scientists on the subject are shown. According to the research, the author concludes that the legistical approach to the collisions in law can not provide answers to many topical issues. To conduct the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis, it is necessary to consider the problem of the causes and ways to overcome legal collisions from the point of view of a sociological understanding of law.В статье описывается история возникновения позитивизма как научного течения, его основные идеи, природа позитивистской школы, а также рассматривается проблема причин возникновения и способов преодоления коллизий в праве в современной юридической литературе, преимущественно с позиции позитивистского правопонимания. Наблюдается синтез легистского и социологического подходов к праву по данному вопросу. В работе приводятся наработки авторитетных отечественных ученных по рассматриваемому вопросу. По результатам исследования автор делает вывод, что легистский подход к проблемам коллизий в праве уже не может дать ответы на многие актуальные вопросы. Чтобы провести наиболее полный и всесторонний анализ, необходимо рассматривать проблему причин возникновения и способы преодоления юридических коллизий с позиции социологического понимания права

Ontology engineering of automatic text processing methods

Currently, ontologies are recognized as the most effective means of formalizing and systematizing knowledge and data in scientific subject area (SSA). Practice has shown that using ontology design patterns is effective in developing the ontology of scientific subject areas. This is due to the fact that scientific subject areas ontology, as a rule, contains a large number of typical fragments that are well described by patterns of ontology design. In the paper, we present an approach to ontology engineering of automatic text processing methods based on ontology design patterns. In order to get an ontology that would describe automatic text processing sufficiently fully, it is required to process a large number of scientific publications and information resources containing information from modeling area. It is possible to facilitate and speed up the process of updating ontology with information from such sources by using lexical and syntactic patterns of ontology design. Our ontology of automatic text processing will become the conceptual basis of an intelligent information resource on modern methods of automatic text processing, which will provide systematization of all information on these methods, its integration into a single information space, convenient navigation through it, as well as meaningful access to it

Comparative-typological Analysis of Kazakh Historical Songs

Historical songs are an integral part of the fund of Kazakh folk songs. There were objective and subjective reasons that to this day they have not been the object of special scientific monographic study. The main purpose of the work is an attempt to create a thematic classification of Kazakh historical songs, definitions of genre features of historical songs, their poetic identity and place in the oral folk art. There is an idea of freethinking, independence and protection of native land, a reflection of people's dreams at the heart of historical songs. Hence appears the difference of historical songs from historical epics. If in historical epics heroism and courage are widely praised, the image of the hero is described; in historical songs the sadness and sorrow of all people are reflected.

Kazakhstan Realities in the Perception of Representatives of American Ethnolinguoculture

The purpose of the article is to describe the axiological characteristics of the realities of modern Kazakhstan society and the ethnic character in the perception of representatives of American ethnolinguoculture by using experimental data. Based on the analysis and description of associates obtained as a result of the associative experiment and sociocultural questionnaire survey, conclusions were drawn about the national-cultural markedness of a linguistic sign. The use of the method of the free-associative test helped to obtain objective and subjective characteristics for each stimulus word. The analysis of associates of American informants determined the novelty of the approach to the problem of intercultural communication in multicultural Kazakhstan society. The generalisation and analysis of associates and answers to questions on the sociocultural topic made it possible to construct a conceptual structure of the image of Kazakhstan and its realities in the consciousness of a linguistic personality of another culture. Also, in the article, an attempt was made to conduct a sociocultural questionnaire survey as an alternative research method. The answers and comments of respondents made it possible to comprehend and describe the respondents’ attitudes and opinion on the national-cultural values of the Kazakh people, to determine a range of discussion problems in different worldviews and to counter sociocultural realities in intercultural communication

Association of Insomnia with Anxiety and Depression in Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with sleep disorders, which in turn may lead to anxiety and depression. Sleep deprivation impairs glucose metabolism causing a decrease in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. The present study aimed to determine the association of insomnia with anxiety and depression in patients with T2DM.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 at the Endocrinological Department of City Clinical Hospital №1, affiliated with Astana Medical University (Astana, Kazakhstan). A total of 376 patients with decompensated T2DM were included in the study. Insomnia was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of insomnia with anxiety and depression.Results: All patients showed signs of sleep disturbances. Based on the HADS cutoff score >8, anxiety and depression were observed in 48 (12.80%) and 46 (12.20%) patients, respectively. PSQI, ISI, and HADS indicators were associated with an increased risk of anxiety and depression symptoms. In terms of anxiety, the adjusted odds ratio for PSQI and ISI scores were 1.09 (P=0.08) and 1.07 (P=0.01), respectively. These for depression were 1.10 (P=0.06) and 1.07 (P=0.01), respectively.Conclusion: Sleep quality is an important indicator of psychological health in patients with T2DM, especially those who exhibit signs of anxiety and depression
