The Tarbagatay region in eastern Kazakhstan, encompassing the Aksuat, Ayagoz, Makanshy and Urjar districts of the present-day Abay region as well as the Semey area, represents a distinctive cultural space shaped by long-standing interactions among Kazakh, Tatar and Russian popula...

Development of Functional Lamb Pâté Enriched with Edible Lamb By-Products and Pulse Ingredients: Physicochemical, Nutritional and Safety Evaluation

The growing demand for nutritionally enriched and sustainable meat products has stimulated interest in the utilization of edible animal by-products and plant-based ingredients. The present study aimed to develop lamb pâté formulations containing lamb liver, lamb heart, mung bean,...

Integrated Remote Sensing and Geological Analysis for Delineating Prospective Gold-Mineralisation Zones at the Suzdal Deposit, Kazakhstan

Remote sensing can support mineral exploration in geologically complex terrains, but distinguishing mineralisation-associated spectral responses from lithological and surficial variability remains challenging. This study presents and evaluates an integrated workflow for delineati...

Air Quality and Emission Trends Following the 2021 Environmental Code Reform in Kazakhstan Across Regions and Industrial Sectors

The 2021 revision of the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan was introduced to align with the World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines and the national carbon neutrality strategy for 2060. The revised Code reflects a transformation of environmental gove...

Bioconversion of coffee waste via two-stage fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli

In this study, a two-stage fermentation strategy using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli was developed for spent coffee grounds (SCG) hydrolysate valorization. In the first stage, S. cerevisiae ATCC 13,007 was cultivated in thermally and acid-hydrolyzed SCG hydrolysat...

Elemental Composition, Sources, and Health Risks of Ambient PM2.5 in Ust-Kamenogorsk (Oskemen) and Pavlodar, Kazakhstan

Atmospheric pollution by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) poses a severe threat to public health in industrial regions of Kazakhstan, such as Ust-Kamenogorsk and Pavlodar, where a sharp continental climate exacerbates toxic element accumulation. This study aimed to compare the ele...

Development and Testing of an Experimental Electroslag Remelting Facility for Processing Radioactive Metal Waste

Modern nuclear energy faces the problem of the accumulation, storage, and management of radioactive waste. For radioactive metal waste (RMW), one of the main tasks is to reduce its volume, carry out partial or complete decontamination, and convert it into a compact and stable for...

Temperature-Dependent Irradiation-History Effects in Tungsten Under Sequential Helium and Hydrogen Plasma Exposure

Tungsten plasma-facing components in fusion devices may experience sequential exposure to helium and hydrogen, making irradiation history an important factor in their subsequent structural and hydrogen-release behavior. This study investigated polycrystalline tungsten exposed to...

Radiation Exposure and Cancer Mortality in Populations Living Around the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site in Kazakhstan

Introduction. Mortality rates from malignant neoplasms can be considered a key marker of adverse environmental impacts. The aim of this study was to assess the association between exposure to ionizing radiation and the risk of mortality from malignant neoplasms among the populati...
