Abstract

This study is of an evaluative nature and is based on a retrospective analysis of data from 18 patients of the oncological office of the City Polyclinic No. 1 of the North Kazakhstan region (North Kazakhstan region). PSA levels were compared in patients with various histological diagnoses, including adenocarcinoma, microcarcinoma, benign hyperplasia and inflammatory processes.

High PSA levels (> 25 ng/mL) were expected to be a reliable indicator of malignancy, demonstrating a significant difference between gallbladder carcinoma patients and benign changes.

Moderate PSA values (4-10 ng/mL) were to include both patients with benign processes and those with precancerous conditions.

Low PSA levels (< 4 ng/mL) were expected in patients without evidence of malignancy, which could serve as an additional criterion for exclusion of oncology.

The findings confirmed the importance of PSA as a marker for gallbladder carcinoma diagnosis, but also demonstrated its limited specificity. To improve the accuracy of diagnostics, it is recommended to use additional parameters (the ratio of free and bound PSA, the density of the PSA, the rate of change in the PSA level), as well as apply modern methods of visualization and molecular diagnostics.

Abstract

The article considers the need for an individual approach in teaching a foreign language, taking into account the modalities of students’ perception. The effectiveness of the educational process increases significantly if we rely on knowledge about the leading channel of information perception for each student. The focus is on sensory systems – visual, auditory, kinesthetic –  that determine how a student receives and processes information.

The results of the study show that an individual approach to teaching a foreign language contributes to a deeper assimilation of language material, an increase in motivation, and independence of students.

Thus, taking into account the modalities of perception when teaching a foreign language makes it possible to improve the quality of education, activate the cognitive activity of students, and create conditions for more productive and conscious assimilation of language knowledge.

Abstract

Modern science increasingly turns to addressing the problems of urban studies, engaging in the search for their solutions. The formation of a unified space, in particular the similarity of a unified urban space, the standardization of national legislations, and socio-economic solutions to urban problems, still does not negate their regional specificities. Kazakhstan is no exception in this progressive movement, and the study of historical urban studies is one of the most dynamically developing areas of national historical science. The ethno-demographic history of the city, the experience of interaction between state, regional, and local authorities, development and transformation at the present stage, necessitate the study of the population structure of Kazakhstani cities, including small towns. The aim of the research is the ethno-demographic processes in Northern Kazakhstan in historical retrospect, using the city of Petropavl as an example, where all the socio-economic processes that influenced the city's population structure were accumulated. The combination of historical methods used allowed us to examine the spectrum and dynamics of the city's social and ethno-demographic development from the XIX to the beginning of the XX century, the source material used by local historians of the region is particularly noteworthy.

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of increasing the accuracy and reliability of automatic vehicle access control systems. Modern methods of license plate recognition provide high accuracy in laboratory conditions, but their efficiency decreases under unfavorable external factors (weather conditions, license plate contamination, etc.). In this regard, a method of two-factor vehicle identification is proposed, including traditional license plate recognition and additional authentication by MAC-address of the driver's mobile device using IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi network.

Research methods include analyzing the network interaction between client devices and Wi-Fi access points, using the monitoring mode of wireless adapters to intercept Probe Request packets, and applying machine learning algorithms to associate cars with the MAC addresses of their owners. A structural scheme of the system is developed in which a Wi-Fi access point captures the MAC addresses of devices in the network coverage area and checks them against a database. The system automatically opens the barrier when one or both identification factors are successfully matched.

The results show that the use of two-factor authentication significantly improves the reliability of the access control system, compensating for the shortcomings of computer vision methods.

Abstract

The article presents the materials of the development of a model for classification and recognition of UAVs and birds based on the neural network of the YOLOv9 architecture in the optoelectronic channels of Anti-drone systems. To train the neural network, a dataset was prepared in the form of annotated images of UAVs and birds. The total number, taking into account augmentation, was 5265 images. The authors implemented training, verification and testing of neural networks in the Windows 11 operating system, in the Python 3.10.8 runtime environment and the Pycharm 2024 development environment. The training process was carried out on the basis of the AD103 graphics processor of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 video card with support for CUDA Toolkit 12.1. As a result of training the neural network, the following metrics were obtained: mAP50-95: 0.59; mAP50: 0.95; Recall: 0.89; Precision: 0.95. According to these indicators, the trained model outperforms the UAV and bird recognition and classification models trained on the basis of YOLOv2, YOLOv4, YOLOv5, YOLOv7 and YOLOX. The inference results on two videos with DJI Inspire 2 and DJI Mini 3 UAV flights showed FPS values of 131 and 119, respectively. It was found that, due to the obtained accuracy and FPS metrics, the trained YOLOv9 model can be used as a module for recognizing and classifying UAVs and birds in real time in the optoelectronic surveillance channels of Anti-drone systems.

Abstract

Instant object detection is a critical capability in modern applications where timely decision-making is essential, such as in emergency medicine, autonomous systems, and intelligent surveillance. Efficiently handling high-throughput image streams with minimal delay presents significant challenges, particularly under demanding conditions. This study presents a scalable object detection pipeline that integrates YOLO models with Apache Kafka, a distributed streaming platform, to support just-in-time inference. The proposed architecture leverages Kafka’s partitioning and consumer group mechanisms to enable parallel processing, ensuring high throughput without requiring complex load-balancing logic. The system is deployed on a Virtual Private Server to demonstrate practical implementation. Two configurations are presented to illustrate Kafka’s native scalability: one with a single partition and a single consumer, and another with five partitions and five consumers. These setups visually demonstrate how Kafka efficiently distributes workloads across multiple consumers. Although specific latency or throughput metrics are not reported, the architecture effectively showcases how Kafka’s design enables prompt responses to high-volume input. This pipeline is well-suited for time-sensitive object detection tasks and can be extended to a wide range of instant analytics applications where rapid feedback is critical.

Abstract

This study examines the translation of culturally specific vocabulary, particularly culture-bound words and expressions, in Ilyas Yessenberlin’s trilogy The Nomads from Kazakh to English. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing a descriptive methodology to analyze military terminology, kinship terms unique to the Kazakh culture, culture-bound expressions, and Kazakh proverbs.

The paper is structured into several sections, including an introduction, methodology, findings, discussion, and conclusion. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the challenges associated with conveying the meaning of culture-bound words and expressions in translation, and to examine the strategies employed to render them accurately in English. The study aims to address the following research questions: “How were culture-bound words and expressions translated into English?” and “To what extent did the translator preserve the meaning of these culture-bound expressions”?

Findings indicate that military and kinship terms were primarily transliterated, with some instances of descriptive translation. Certain proverbs and metaphors were omitted, while others were translated literally. Given the novel’s extensive use of metaphorical language, the study provides valuable insights for translators, interpreters, and educators, offering additional knowledge on effective strategies for rendering culturally embedded terms in translation.

Abstract

The biggest problem for linguists teaching in higher education is that students study in the same group, regardless of their language competence, which is at different levels. In this case, completing tasks and assessing knowledge on the basis of an educational and methodological complex prepared on the basis of an established standard program creates significant difficulties. Because if the level of some students is low, then certain students in the group may have much higher knowledge of the kazakh language. The program task is easy for some, but difficult for others. While maintaining the average level of tasks, it will become more and more difficult with each stage. The activities of the teacher, in the teaching procedure, are considered an integral part of the pedagogical process, since the linguistic results of students are directly related to the quality of teaching.

It is no secret that modern society needs highly qualified graduates who are able to independently solve complex problems in various situations. To meet such public demand, the teacher must master the best teaching methods in his professional activity. The article discusses the issues of teaching the kazakh language depending on the language competence of the student, the choice of effective methods and real assessment.
