Knowing English and being able to teach it are not the same thing

conception that knowing English automatically qualifies one to teach it, while effective language instruction requires a distinct and well-developed set of pedagogical competencies. This study holds significance. Many wrongly assume that simply knowing English automatically makes...

Intelligent Radio Planning and Connectivity Optimization for Underground Public Transportation Systems Using Distributed Antenna Networks

Reliable wireless connectivity in underground public transportation can vary with train position because rolling stock modifies propagation paths and local interference conditions. This study proposes a transport-state-aware radio-planning framework for a three-node distributed a...

Antiflammable, Transparent, Toughened, and Low Dielectric Epoxy Thermosets Modified with Siloxane-Bridged Phosphonates

Abstract Epoxy resin is widely used as a thermosetting material, but its inherent flammability, brittleness, and high dielectric loss limit its applications. In this work, three P/Si-containing flame retardants, namely, DEDP, DEDO, and TMDO, were synthesized via addition reaction...

Electrochemical Pretreatment of Chrysocolla for Enhanced Sulfidization and Flotation: Mechanism and Process Optimization

The flotation of oxidized copper minerals is limited by poor surface reactivity and the insufficient effectiveness of conventional sulfidization. This study investigated 50 Hz alternating current electrochemical pretreatment to enhance the sulfidization and flotation of chrysocol...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Kazakhstan: Phenotypes, Disease Activity, and Treatment Patterns from a National Registry

Background/Objectives: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are an increasingly important global health problem, yet Central Asia remains underrepresented in international IBD data. To evaluate the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients included in the national multic...

Towards Sustainable Bioleaching of Platinum Group Metals from Spent Automotive Catalysts

Spent automotive catalysts represent an important secondary resource for platinum group metals, offering environmental and economic advantages over primary mining. This review evaluates bioleaching-based recovery strategies of these metals as sustainable alternatives to conventio...

Seroprevalence of Lumpy Skin Disease and Livestock Owners’ Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Selected Districts of Kazakhstan

BACKGROUND: Lumpy skin disease is a transboundary viral disease of cattle associated with substantial economic losses and increasing geographic spread. Although Kazakhstan is currently considered free from active LSD outbreaks, the presence of transboundary risk necessitates cont...

Comparative Technological Routes for Processing Chromo-Magnesian Ore Materials into Chemical and Metallurgical Products: A Systematic Review

Chromo-magnesian ore materials constitute a complex resource base for producing both metallurgical and chemical products, yet existing research remains fragmented across beneficiation, smelting, chemical extraction, waste valorization, and refractory applications. This systematic...

Exploratory SSR-Based Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Differentiation Among Four Wild Almond Populations in Kazakhstan

Wild almond relatives are valuable reservoirs of allelic variation for crop improvement and conservation, yet Kazakhstan’s wild-almond genetic resources remain poorly characterised. We conducted an exploratory SSR assessment of 80 putative individuals from four taxon-locality gro...
