Anti-colonial aspirations in Arab entrepreneurship education: The RACES framework for negotiating epistemic and institutional constraints

Entrepreneurship education in the Arab world has expanded alongside national development and diversification agendas, while educators describe many programmes as shaped by imported curricula, English-language hierarchies, accreditation regimes and audit-based measures of legitima...

GIS-Based Spatial Assessment of Urban Engineering Geological Conditions Using Borehole and Laboratory Data: A Case Study of Pavlodar, Kazakhstan

Assessment of urban engineering geological conditions is often constrained by the uneven distribution and variable completeness of site-investigation data. This study presents a GIS-based spatial assessment of ground conditions in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, using archival borehole rec...

Energy and spatial spillovers: How renewable and non-renewable energy impact the environment?

Atmospheric emissions in one location can significantly affect adjacent regions, creating spatial dependencies. If ignored, it may biased empirical estimates of environmental degradation. This study employs spatial econometric techniques to measure the indirect (spillover) effect...

Jugaad as a decolonising cultural logic in entrepreneurship education: pluralising entrepreneurial learning in the United Arab Emirates

Purpose This study examines how Jugaad, a culturally-embedded South Asian entrepreneurial logic, remains meaningful beyond its place of origin and what its comparison with curriculum-mediated student reasoning reveals about pluralising entrepreneurship education (EE). Design/meth...

Eleven-Year Trends in Stillbirth, Neonatal and Infant Mortality and Birthweight-Specific Risk: A BABIES Matrix Analysis from a Tertiary Maternity Center in Kazakhstan, 2015–2025

Background/Objectives: Long-run facility-level perinatal data from Central Asia are scarce. We described eleven years of stillbirth, neonatal, infant and perinatal mortality at one tertiary maternity center in Kazakhstan, and used the Birthweight and Age-at-death Boxes for Interv...

Subsurface temperature anomalies reveal blind geothermal systems: A case study from the Aryskum Depression, South Torgai Basin, Kazakhstan

The petroliferous Aryskum Depression, located within the South Torgai Basin, Kazakhstan, comprises several grabens up to 6 km deep, separated by horsts with more than 4 km of structural relief. Spatial analysis of reported reservoir and measured bottomhole temperatures from oil a...

Oil Revenue Absorption and Macroeconomic Vulnerability: Evidence from a DSGE Model of a Small Open Oil-Exporting Economy

Oil-exporting economies are notoriously sensitive to external shocks, but the importance of current oil revenue absorption for macroeconomic shock transmission has not been explored thoroughly. This paper constructs a stylized DSGE model to analyze how macroeconomic shock propaga...

Genome-Wide SNP Characterisation of Three Kazakh Sheep Breeds: Kazakh Fat-Tailed Coarse-Wool, Degeres, and Etti Merino

Kazakhstan’s sheep portfolio underpins much of the country’s mutton and wool production, yet several of its principal breeds remain genomically uncharacterised. The aim of this study was to characterise the genomic diversity, population structure, and global phylogenetic placemen...

Strategic Optimization of Agricultural Supply Chains Based on the Integration of GIS and Multimodal Infrastructure Capacity in Kazakhstan

Background: Managing agrologistics supply chains under infrastructure scarcity requires integrative, spatially explicit decision-support tools. This study develops a macro-level digital twin of the multimodal agricultural supply chain in Kazakhstan’s Almaty region to optimize fre...

Integrating Cosmological Concepts into School Physics: Teaching Dark Energy and the Cosmological Constant through Metaphysical Inquiry

Contemporary cosmology assigns roughly 68.5% of the universe's energy density to dark energy, most simply described by the cosmological constant, Λ — yet this concept is almost entirely absent from secondary-school physics curricula. This paper proposes that carefully structured...

A Comprehensive Review of SLR Systems: Challenges, Datasets, and Unresolved Gaps

With the rapid advancement of sensor technologies, automated sign language recognition (SLR) has emerged as a critical enabler of inclusive communication systems for individuals with hearing and speech impairments. Although substantial research effort has been directed toward thi...
