What s peculiar for many, here we educate future doctors and just recently opened the Residency in Cardiology and received ECFMG accreditation .Ualikhanov University will be happy to welcome more internationals.

Dry building mixes plant under construction

As part of the working meeting, Satbayev University Board of Directors visited DIATOMITE Scientific and production complex, a plant for producing dry building mixes, which is being built on STROYTECH Techno park territory.

The project is being implemented within the framework of “Integrated Development of Sustainable Construction Industry” program and is aimed at creating an industrial base according to the university’s scientific elaborations. It will produce dry building mixes, tiles and plaster adapted to the climatic conditions of Kazakhstan and modern construction standards.

DIATOMITE Research and production complex is one of the key projects of the university, which is already showing the first results: its own technologies have been developed, contracts for the supply of products have been signed, three spin-off companies have been created for the industrial implementation of scientific solutions, and STROYTECH techno park itself will become a center for training the specialists and scientific research in building materials field.

Risk-Oriented Approach in Pharmacy

Modern pharmaceutical education faces the task of not only transferring theoretical knowledge but also equipping students with practical tools relevant to the demands of the professional environment. At the core of this transformation is the increasing importance of risk management — a principle essential for ensuring pharmaceutical product quality and compliance with international GxP standards. Recognizing this, the School of Pharmacy at the Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University (KazNMU) has introduced a risk-oriented approach into the educational process of its “Technology of Pharmaceutical Production” program.

The adoption of a risk-based approach in pharmaceutical training represents a strategic shift toward proactive problem-solving and quality assurance. This educational model emphasizes the systematic identification, assessment, and mitigation of potential risks at each stage of pharmaceutical production and management. By training students in this way, the program aims to develop future professionals who are capable of making informed decisions even in uncertain and complex situations. The integration of risk thinking helps foster a quality culture among students and builds a strong foundation for long-term professional success.

One of the central innovations introduced in the program is the transformation of key disciplines to reflect a risk-oriented philosophy. In the course titled “Concept of Quality Assurance of Medicinal Products in the Framework of GxP,” students work with real-life case studies involving deviations identified during GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and GDP (Good Distribution Practice) inspections. By investigating the root causes of these deviations, evaluating the impact on product quality, and designing corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), students not only learn regulatory requirements but also gain practical skills in risk evaluation. This process is guided by the principles outlined in the ICH Q9 guideline on Quality Risk Management.

In another core subject, “Process Validation,” students are introduced to the practical aspects of validating manufacturing processes, with risk assessment at the forefront. For example, they may be assigned the task of developing a validation plan for capsule production. This involves identifying critical process parameters (CPP), defining critical quality attributes (CQA), and assessing the risks associated with potential deviations. During these assignments, students use industry-standard tools such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the Ishikawa diagram to explore cause-effect relationships and improve process understanding. These exercises prepare students to manage real-world validation tasks with a systematic and analytical mindset.

The risk-oriented training is further enriched by the involvement of industry partners who provide real production data for analysis. In one such task, students validate equipment cleaning procedures and assess risks of cross-contamination — a crucial aspect in pharmaceutical manufacturing. These practical tasks offer insight into the technical and safety implications of pharmaceutical operations, and emphasize the importance of protecting patient health through meticulous risk control.

A cornerstone of the program is the dedicated course “Risk Management in the Pharmaceutical Industry,” which provides students with a thorough understanding of how risks are managed throughout the lifecycle of a pharmaceutical product. Here, theoretical instruction is complemented by hands-on exercises. In one such assignment, students simulate the launch of a new production line, identify potential critical deviations, estimate their probability and impact, and develop a risk matrix with defined intervention priorities. These scenarios help students build competencies in strategic planning and decision-making under time and resource constraints.

The effectiveness of the risk-oriented model is amplified through simulation training and project-based learning. During these simulations, students are exposed to hypothetical production incidents that demand immediate analysis and resolution. This immersive format helps develop students’ ability to respond rapidly, assess situations critically, and implement effective solutions under pressure — skills that are essential in high-stakes pharmaceutical environments.

The integration of a risk-oriented approach at KazNMU demonstrates how educational institutions can align academic content with real-world industry expectations. This method not only equips students with technical knowledge but also develops the soft skills necessary for leadership and accountability in the workplace. It fosters a generation of professionals who are not only competent in pharmaceutical science but also deeply committed to quality and safety.

Looking ahead, KazNMU plans to further enhance this educational model through the use of digital platforms for interactive risk assessment and expanded collaboration with pharmaceutical companies. Joint case studies, guest lectures, and structured internships will allow students to deepen their understanding of risk management in actual industrial contexts. By continuously evolving and modernizing its approach, the university aims to remain at the forefront of pharmaceutical education in the region.

In conclusion, the implementation of a risk-oriented approach in the educational process at KazNMU is a forward-looking initiative that prepares students to meet the complex challenges of the pharmaceutical industry. It empowers them to think critically, act responsibly, and uphold the highest standards of quality and patient safety — ensuring their readiness for professional success in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

Foundation: A Reliable Starting Point

Over the past ten years, our brothers of Kazakh nationality have come from Uzbekistan, Mongolia, China, Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan. In the preparatory department, they learned to read and write Kazakh. They entered and graduated from higher education institutions. Currently, they are working in various fields.

The National Kazakh provides high-quality educational services in the field of improving the educational level of applicants by in-depth study of UNT subjects for admission to higher educational institutions in pedagogical directions (training of physics teachers, training of computer science teachers, training of biology teachers, training of chemistry teachers);

Along with the educational process, students of the Foundation faculty actively participate in sports competitions, KVN, Nauryz holidays, conferences, thematic seminars and various Republican, regional, city events of the university.

Adaptation measures to the new environment, a favorable psychological climate, a developed infrastructure of the university, its convenient location – all this makes it possible to choose to study at the preparatory courses of the Foundation faculty.

Onomastic studies of Northern Kazakhstan

For many years, scholars Sabieva E. V. and Kakimova M. E. at the Institute of Language and Literature of the non-profit joint-stock company “M. Kozybayev North Kazakhstan University” have been engaged in research in the field of onomastics within a regional context. At present, the main focus of their work is directed towards interdisciplinary research in this field, taking into account the ethnocultural characteristics of the region. Their research is devoted to the investigation of the toponymic landscape of the border territories of Northern Kazakhstan. The scholars have developed an extensive database of toponymic materials, which enables them to trace the historical settlement areas of the Kazakh population in the border regions through the prism of place names. They also propose a multilevel model that integrates linguistic, socio-psychological, and cultural approaches in order to identify migrants’ historical memory, ethnic perception, and language behavior.

In addition, they collect the place names of their region and trace them on the basis of analyzing their development over time. The results of the study demonstrate that place names are not only the elements of the linguistic worldview but also the essential components of cultural and historical heritage. Quantitative analysis of these objects has allowed the scientists to identify characteristic features of each North Kazakhstan Region district and to determine their cultural-historical and ethnographic significance.

Sabieva E.V. and Kakimova M.E. consider that the obtained toponymic data may serve as a new informational basis for the study of cultural heritage and for the teaching process in conducting some academic disciplines in this particular research field. The methodological guidelines that have been developed are aimed at the socio-cultural adaptation of young people, constituting a significant outcome for applied sociology, the field of education, and linguodidactics.

Their research also extends to the toponymic landscape of the border regions of Northern Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, revealing a distinctive ethno-linguistic picture shaped by centuries of migration and intercultural contact. To identify geographical names, the scholars employ methods of linguistic attribution, inventorying, and systematization, as well as historical-comparative and descriptive analytical approaches.

The results obtained by Sabieva E. V. and Kakimova M. E. have been published in highly indexed international journals, including:

1. ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF USING SACRED SITES AND THE NATURAL AND RECREATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THE NORTH KAZAKHSTAN REGION FOR THE FORMATION OF TOURIST ROUTES// GEOJOURNAL OF TOURISM AND GEOSITES, vol. 54, pp. 821–830, 2024.

Clear Skin – Clear Emotions

Sustainable development in Kazakhstan increasingly emphasizes not only economic growth and environmental responsibility but also the social and psychological well-being of the population. Among young people, one of the most overlooked yet impactful health issues is facial acne—a chronic inflammatory condition that most commonly affects individuals between the ages of 12 and 25. While acne is not life-threatening, its effects extend far beyond the surface of the skin. It can influence self-esteem, emotional resilience, social adaptation, and even academic motivation. Because of this, addressing acne in youth can be regarded as a component of broader sustainable development efforts: improving public health, reducing social inequality, and strengthening human capital.

Acne remains one of the most frequent dermatological problems among adolescents, students, and young adults, including those studying in medical universities. Despite its prevalence, the severity of the condition is often underestimated, and treatment is postponed until the appearance of painful inflammatory lesions, subcutaneous nodules, or cysts. These manifestations discourage social interaction, heighten stress, and contribute to negative body image. Acne’s causes are multifactorial and reflect the complex interaction of lifestyle, biology, and environmental conditions. Diet plays a notable role: foods with a high glycemic index, excessive dairy intake, and frequent consumption of oily or fried meals can stimulate inflammatory responses and sebum production. A deficiency of essential micronutrients—zinc, vitamins A, D, and E, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids—can further exacerbate acne. Hormonal fluctuations, especially elevated androgen levels, represent one of the primary internal triggers. External factors also contribute, such as the use of comedogenic cosmetics, mechanical friction on the skin, and exposure to pollutants. Psychological stress and poor sleep aggravate inflammation by disrupting the sebaceous glands’ natural functions, making acne more persistent and more severe.

Recognizing the combined medical, psychological, and social implications of acne, researchers at the Department of Pharmacognosy with a course in Botany at S.D. Asfendiyarov Kazakh National Medical University have developed an innovative topical spray aimed at reducing inflammation, normalizing sebum production, and accelerating skin healing. Under the scientific supervision of Professor G.M. Sayakova, the team created a formulation that integrates dermatologically active ingredients with proven therapeutic effects. The spray is designed not only to treat visible skin symptoms but also to ease the emotional burden associated with acne, thereby supporting both physical and mental well-being.

The formula includes herbal extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Aloe vera, which soothe irritation and provide antioxidant protection. Azelaic acid—present at a therapeutic concentration of 15%—serves as one of the primary active agents, offering antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits while preventing pore blockages. Niacinamide at 5% strengthens the skin barrier and reduces redness, while Zinc PCA reinforces antibacterial protection and helps balance sebum secretion. Panthenol promotes skin repair and reduces sensitivity, and vitamin E offers additional antioxidant stability. Glycerin supports hydration, ensuring that the formulation remains gentle despite containing potent therapeutic ingredients. Purified water serves as the base, ensuring a clean, stable, and easy-to-use spray.

The product is intended for application once or twice daily on cleansed skin. It can be sprayed directly onto the face or applied with a cotton pad to targeted inflamed areas. For safety, it is recommended for external use only, avoiding the eye area, with discontinuation advised if irritation occurs. The spray should be stored at room temperature and kept away from direct light to preserve its stability.

One of the key strengths of this development is its balanced approach: while azelaic acid performs the heavy therapeutic work, the inclusion of aloe, panthenol, and glycerin ensures that the formulation remains suitable even for sensitive skin. The combined anti-inflammatory and antibacterial elements—niacinamide, Zinc PCA, and Glycyrrhiza glabra extract—provide a comprehensive effect aimed at reducing pustules, painful nodules, and overall inflammation. Over time, users can expect improvements in skin texture, tone, and comfort, with reduced sensitivity and fewer episodes of irritation.

Although standardization studies of the final dosage form are ongoing, early results are promising. Preliminary testing conducted in several cosmetic clinics in Almaty has demonstrated noticeable improvements in skin condition and tolerance among users, motivating further research and refinement of the product.

Acne is more than a cosmetic concern—it is a condition that affects confidence, social participation, and emotional stability. The newly developed spray represents not only a dermatological innovation but also a step toward supporting the psychological well-being of young people. By helping individuals achieve clearer skin, it may also help them gain clearer emotions, greater confidence, and healthier social integration, contributing to the long-term sustainable development of Kazakhstan’s youth.
