In the city of working professions, students of the Almaty Construction College presented an innovative "Smart House" model developed using Arduino technology. The automation system includes intelligent light sensors that control the switching on and off of the lamp depending on the time, as well as an advanced security system. There are PIR motion sensors, gas and smoke sensors that prevent possible emergencies. And temperature and humidity sensors automatically regulate the operation of the ventilation and heating system, providing a comfortable microclimate. All functions of the "Smart House" can be controlled remotely from a smartphone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In case of danger, for example, when gas or smoke leaks, the system immediately sends a message, and buzzers and LCD displays warn about the danger. “Our project shows how modern technologies can make housing more comfortable and safe. For example, the system immediately detects a gas leak and sends a message to the owner,” says college student Gabbas Bayazitov. All elements of the system were designed and programmed by the students themselves. The mobile application for managing the “smart home” is available in the Play Market and App Store. This project shows real prospects for installing such technologies in residential buildings, increasing their energy efficiency and safety.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/edu/press/news/details/936261

Students of the Almaty College of Energy and Electronic Technologies launched the production of the first solar panels in the training workshop. They presented their projects at the City of Working Professions. “We make solar panels entirely with our own hands. First, we connect the photocells to each other and weld them to a special base. Then we make a lamination to protect the panel from external influences and fasten it to an aluminum case. At the final stage, we turn on the system and check how efficiently it converts solar energy into electricity,” shared Madi Zhanbolat, a 3rd-year student at the college. This project will not only help students master modern technologies in the field of renewable energy, but also open up prospects for developing their own production of solar panels in Kazakhstan. In addition, senior college students will have the opportunity to undergo paid internships at leading companies.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/edu/press/news/details/936876

Currently, there are more than 2.3 million livestock in the region, of which about 500 thousand are cattle, 1.6 million. heads of small cattle, and more than 200 thousand horses. All of them are registered in the state information system "Database for Identification of Agricultural Animals". In general, much attention is paid to the veterinary sector in the region. For example, over the past two and a half years, 49 veterinary points and 1 veterinary station have been built in the region. This year, 20 more such facilities are planned to be built. In addition, digitalization is being widely introduced and used in this sector, - reports the press service of the Zhetysu region akim.According to the regional veterinary department, in the process of digitizing veterinary processes, the "VetLab" and "ISZH-Mobile" modules for diagnosing highly dangerous diseases, which are included in the iszh.gov.kz web portal of the state information system "Database for Identification of Agricultural Animals", are widely used in the region. Similarly, all 34,763 livestock owners registered in the identification database in the region are now fully using the “TortTulik” mobile application.In this regard, special attention is being paid to strengthening the material and technical base to improve the quality and efficiency of the work of veterinary specialists. For example, since the establishment of the region, 45 special vehicles, 217 computers, as well as 238 tablets have been purchased.- Now, after the launch of the “ISZH-Mobile” mobile application of the agricultural animal identification database, tablets have been purchased and delivered to veterinarians. Working with a tablet has significantly simplified and accelerated our work. The work done during visits to large farms and private yards, i.e., registration of livestock, preventive measures, vaccinations, is immediately entered into the database using a tablet. Even in places without Internet access, the data entered on the tablet is automatically sent to the appropriate database immediately in places with Internet access, - says Aigerim Bekbosynova, a veterinarian at the Taldykorgan city veterinary station with veterinary stations, who has been working in this field for almost thirteen years. In addition, the Department of Digital Technologies of the Zhetysu region has included anthrax burial grounds and cattle burial grounds and veterinary stations in the electronic map of the "Zhetysu region Situation Center". Currently, based on the conclusions of the interdepartmental commission, sanitary protection zones of cattle burial grounds are being included in the electronic map.

As part of discussions with business representatives on the development of the industry, the Minister of Agriculture A. Saparov met with representatives of the meat livestock industry. During the meeting, the advantages and disadvantages of simplified financing, fiscal instruments for the development of the industry, as well as the regulation of the live livestock market were discussed. The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan is carrying out planned work to increase the effectiveness and transparency of state support. In this regard, it is planned to replace subsidies for selection and breeding work with other support instruments. In particular, the issues of changing the subsidy standards for the sale of livestock to meat processing plants and feedlots and providing the industry with simplified financing are being considered. Meat livestock, like other sectors of the agricultural sector, needs affordable working capital. Therefore, this year the ministry plans to launch a 5% soft loan program for a period of 15 months. In addition, the possibility of financing investment loans at a preferential rate is being discussed. Another important issue is fiscal measures.“In addition to the issue of VAT (Value Added Tax), which is currently being actively discussed, it is necessary to take into account that fiscal instruments contribute to the “coming out of the shadows” of the agricultural products market. In particular, tax incentives can become an advantage for processing enterprises and give an impetus to the collection and processing of wool, leather, fruit and vegetable products,” explained Azamat Shalmagambetov, director of MB4 LLP. The minister noted the need for a comprehensive discussion of tax changes with government agencies and business representatives. In addition, he noted that stimulating measures to “bring out of the shadows” of agricultural products trade is one of the priority areas.One of the important topics of discussion was the increase in prices for meat, especially beef.“The administrative bans and restrictions introduced earlier have had a negative impact on the industry. "As a result of bans and quotas, the profitability of livestock farming has decreased, and some farmers are stopping livestock breeding," said Dauren Salykov, director of the Angus Kazakhstan Republican Chamber. "The increase in meat prices is primarily due to the activity of speculators. They are exporting livestock in various ways. We understand that administrative bans hinder the development of the industry. But in order to open the cattle market, it is important to ensure the stability of the domestic market. We will discuss solutions together, and your suggestions will be considered," said A. Saparov. Following the meeting, expanded discussions will be held with business representatives within the framework of the working group on the development of beef cattle breeding established under the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/936933

As part of the large-scale screening program, more than 3.2 million citizens were examined in Kazakhstan in 2024.The results showed that more than 120 thousand cases of the disease were detected at an early stage, which confirms the effectiveness of current measures to improve the early diagnosis system.The following were identified during the screening:118,497 cases of arterial hypertension - one of the most common diseases that, if not detected and controlled in a timely manner, can lead to stroke and heart attack.•24 cases of diabetes mellitus 901 diagnosis — this is a disease that has become a pressing issue in the country in recent years.* 6265 cases of glaucoma - a disease that can lead to blindness if left untreated.What has changed in the screening system?Some outdated and uninformative laboratory and instrumental methods have been replaced by modern and highly effective methods with proven accuracy.- glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the diagnosis of diabetes (previously blood glucose was determined);- glomerular filtration rate for the early detection of kidney disease;- low-density lipoproteins in serum for assessing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.- liquid PAP test for the early detection of cervical cancer.These approaches:- reduce the number of complications, prevent complications that can lead to disability or death;- make screening accessible (expand target groups).In addition, by 2025 Starting from 2018, screening for early detection of the risk of developing cerebrovascular disorders (CVD) will be introduced for men over 50-70 years of age once every 2 years.Molecular genetic testing for the transmission of spinal muscular atrophy will be introduced for girls aged 15-17.Screening studies are being conducted in Kazakhstan for the early detection of the following 8 most common diseases:✅Arterial hypertension (once every 2 years)✅Ischemic heart disease (once every 2 years)✅Diabetes mellitus (once every 2 years)✅Glaucoma (once every 2 years)Cervical cancer (once every 4 years)✅Breast cancer (once every 2 years)✅Colorectal cancer (once every 2 years)✅Viral hepatitis (no more than once every 3-6 months).The Ministry of Health urges all citizens to take care of their health and regularly invites you to undergo free screenings.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/936851
