Prevalence of Atrophic Gastritis in Kazakhstan and the Accuracy of Pepsinogen Tests to Detect Gastric Mucosal Atrophy

2019

Background Atrophic gastritis is considered precursor condition for gastric cancer. There is so far limited evidence on the performance of pepsinogens for atrophy detection in Central Asia. The aim of our study was to detect the prevalence of atrophic gastritis in the asymptomatic adult population in Kazakhstan as well as address the accuracy of pepsinogen testing in atrophy detection. Methods Healthy individuals aged 40-64 were included. Upper endoscopy and pepsinogens (PG) evaluation were performed. PG were analysed in plasma by latex agglutination. Cut off values were used to define decreased PG values (PGR ≤ 3 and PG I ≤ 70 ng/mL); severely decreased PG values (PGR ≤ 2 and PG I ≤ 30 ng/…

2019

Maģistra darbā apskatītas ES un Kazahstānas divpusējās attiecības, uzsverot attiecību virzitājmotīvus un veicinošos apstākļus. Darba autore secina, ka sadarbība ar ES Kazahstānai ir kā iespēja paaugstināt tās ekonomisko modernizāciju un palielināt tās politisko leģitimitāti pasaules politikā, kas ļoti labi atbilst Kazahstānas daudzvirzienu politiskajam diskursam. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka šī partnerība ir nozīmīga, tā kā ES saglabā vienlaicīgi pozitīvu virzienu uz Kazahstānu, neatkarīgi no tā, ka valsts turpina lēni virzīties uz ES vērtību sasniegšanu. Autore analizējusi šīs divpusējās attiecības, balstoties uz „pragmatisko modernizācijas” modeli. Maģistra darbā analizēts, vai būtu jāp…

Ancestry and demography and descendants of Iron Age nomads of the Eurasian Steppe

2017

During the 1st millennium before the Common Era (BCE), nomadic tribes associated with the Iron Age Scythian culture spread over the Eurasian Steppe, covering a territory of more than 3,500 km in breadth. To understand the demographic processes behind the spread of the Scythian culture, we analysed genomic data from eight individuals and a mitochondrial dataset of 96 individuals originating in eastern and western parts of the Eurasian Steppe. Genomic inference reveals that Scythians in the east and the west of the steppe zone can best be described as a mixture of Yamnaya-related ancestry and an East Asian component. Demographic modelling suggests independent origins for eastern and western g…

Astana's architecture as a representation of the new Kazakhstan : political reading of Astana's built environment

2015

In my Master’s thesis I explore the political reasons behind Kazakhstan’s Almaty Astana capital relocation and the creation of the new capital Astana with new and futuristic architecture. The strategy is to analyse Kazakhstan’s capital relocation and Astana’s creation and beautification by applying Kenneth Burke’s concepts of the Dramatistic Pentad and the Idea of the Negative. Through Astana’s three most prominent new pieces of architecture, the Baiterek Tower, the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation and Khan Shatyr shopping and entertainment centre, I analyse Kazakhstan’s political aspirations and new representational practises. Through Astana’s architecture and Burke’s Dramatistic Pentad …

Cultural risk factors of suicidal behavior among adolescents in Kazakhstan

2020

Youth suicide is becoming a serious problem in Kazakhstan. According to UNICEF reports, the risk of suicidal behavior among adolescents (15-19 years) in Kazakhstan is three times higher than in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Despite the urgency of the problem, there are currently no psychological studies of the causes of suicide. In this article, we identify several cultural and historical factors and associated risks that, in our opinion, should be considered in the study of the growth of adolescent suicide in Kazakhstan.
