Интеллектуальный и научный потенциал ППС Kozybayev University растёт! Старшему преподавателю кафедры «Продовольственная безопасность» Елене Иль присвоена учёная степень кандидата ветеринарных наук. Елена Николаевна успешно защитила диссертацию в Чувашском государственном аграрном университете (РФ). В своей работе она провела исследование по ветеринарно-санитарной оценке качества и безопасности молока при субклиническом кетозе у высокопродуктивных коров. Впервые в производственных условиях была апробирована и внедрена схема применения комплекса кормовых добавок для профилактики данного состояния у КРС. Выявлена взаимосвязь влияния обмена веществ на органолептические и физико-химические показатели, химический состав молока. Во всем мире с ростом потребления молочной продукции и повышением требований к её качеству важность сохранения здоровья и продуктивности скота становится ключевым фактором для устойчивого развития животноводства. Высокопродуктивные коровы часто подвержены метаболическим расстройствам, таким как субклинический кетоз, что существенно снижает их продуктивность и увеличивает риск заболеваний. Установление связи между кетозом и качеством молока помогает в разработке стратегий профилактики и лечения этого состояния у коров, а также повышает качество и безопасность продукции молочного скотоводства. В ходе исследований получен Евразийский патент на изобретение (состав кормовой добавки «Премикс для молочного скота» и установлена эффективность ее применения для профилактики субклинического кетоза), а также авторское свидетельство РК. По материалам диссертационной работы опубликовано 16 научных статей (в том числе в изданиях, индексируемых Web of Science и Scopus). Для нашего региона, где аграрный сектор имеет стратегическое значение, данные исследования являются особенно актуальными и позволяют повысить производственную эффективность и экономическую устойчивость животноводческих предприятий. Искренне поздравляем Елену Николаевну, желаем ей крепкого здоровья, вдохновения, профессионального роста, успешного воплощения научных и образовательных инициатив, новых значимых успехов в научно-педагогической деятельности!

The course “Artificial Intelligence in the Transformation of the Modern University” is designed for 72 hours. The School is organized to develop and enhance professional competencies in the practical application of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), which are necessary for modernizing the educational process, increasing the productivity of research activities, and optimizing management decisions in the context of the university’s digital transformation. Participation in the professional development course is free of charge for all attendees. “We have included additional modules in the program: science, the social sector, and pedagogy. We are working on these together with the National Center for Professional Development ‘Orleu’. Last year, together with colleagues, we also traveled to Almaty, where we studied a course on the use of AI in higher education at ALT University. Now, based on the results of that training, we would like to share the knowledge and competencies we have gained with our colleagues at the Winter School,” noted Aigul Nurpeissova, Member of the Board for Academic Affairs. From January 12 to 23, teaching staff, administrative and managerial personnel, heads of educational programs, and employees of Kozybayev University will be able to attend workshops, interactive lectures, and practical sessions. They will explore digital transformation strategies; no-code tools for creating simple chatbots to support students; NotebookLM as an AI analytics tool for the university; the principles and tools of the new standard of the Academic Integrity League; and will enhance their hard skills in creating lectures, tests, and audio reviews based on raw data in NotebookLM, and much more. Upon completion, participants will receive relevant certificates.

For more than 12 years, the Faculty of History, Economics and Law of our university was headed by Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor Zaure Kenesovna Kartova. Today, the university community saw her off to a new position in the city of Karaganda. The ceremonial evening was attended by the university leadership and teaching staff, as well as colleagues from organizations of the North Kazakhstan region with whom the Faculty of History, Economics and Law has maintained long-term and fruitful cooperation: the Departments of Education, Culture, Language Development and Archival Affairs, the Regional Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, the State Archive, the Regional Museum of History and Local Lore, the North Kazakhstan Branch of the A.Kh. Margulan Institute of Archaeology, and others. Zaure Kenesovna has worked at Non-profit limited company "Manash Kozybayev North Kazakhstan University" since 2008, and since 2014 she has headed the Faculty of History, Economics and Law. She is the author of 5 monographs, 3 collective scholarly publications, 16 textbooks and teaching aids, and about 100 scientific articles. She has realized her vast academic potential, among other things, as part of research teams and as the head of grant-funded projects of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the history of Kazakhstan and the source studies analysis of historical documents, as well as on the history of North Kazakhstan from ancient times to the present. She also led the working group of the Regional Commission for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Political Repressions of the North Kazakhstan region. Chairman of the Board – Rector Yerbol Isakayev thanked Zaure Kartova for her contribution to the development of the university’s teaching staff, her support of young specialists, and her attentive attitude toward students, and presented her with letters of appreciation from the Akim of the North Kazakhstan region and the university. “For us, an important indicator is the share of women in the university’s management. A woman is associated with warmth and motherhood. And when a woman leads an educational team - in this case, a faculty - it is different: more gentle and caring, yet sometimes more demanding and ambitious than men. Zaure Kenesovna embodies all these qualities. At the same time, she is a highly respected historian in our region. Major projects are associated with her name: Kyzyl-Oba, archaeological excavations, and so on,” Rector Yerbol Isakayev noted. On this day, many warm words were addressed to Zaure Kartova by colleagues, associates, and grateful students. We thank Zaure Kenesovna for her work at our university and wish her every success in her new position.

Teachers of schools in the North Kazakhstan Region, heads of educational institutions, as well as university and college lecturers gathered at the university for the international scientific and methodological seminar “Digital Transformation in Teaching Natural Science Disciplines.” The participants discussed current trends in education, technologies for teaching natural sciences, as well as the prospects and opportunities for using digital and GIS technologies in educational practice. “Today, within the framework of the seminar, we came to exchange experience with fellow teachers. The topic of my presentation is ‘GeoSTEAM: Science Learned Through Practice.’ At present, it is important to introduce and use artificial intelligence in the educational process. Therefore, in the context of digital transformation, school and university students should acquire knowledge that meets the demands of the time,” shared Zhibek Zhamuldinova, a geography teacher at Z. Tashenov Secondary School No. 20. Following the results of the seminar, participants will be awarded certificates.
