TL;DR: In this paper, the trajectories of e-government implementation for public sector service delivery in Kazakhstan are examined and available evidence suggests that even the partial implementation of eGovernment accrues benefits, while the operational challenges, such as the lack of political support and consensus, the digital divide, the lack qualified human resources, language, and infrastructure development, need to be addressed to ensure a cost-efficient, cost-effective, accountable, and transparent service delivery to Kazakhstanis.
Abstract: The impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on public sector service delivery is immense as evidenced in Kazakhstan, a post-Soviet republic, and beyond. This article critically examines the trajectories of e-government implementation for public sector service delivery in Kazakhstan. Available evidence suggests that even the partial implementation of e-government accrues benefits, while the operational challenges, such as the lack of political support and consensus, the digital divide, the lack of qualified human resources, language, and infrastructure development, need to be addressed to ensure a cost-efficient, cost-effective, accountable, and transparent service delivery to Kazakhstanis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between personality traits, learning strategies and academic performance among undergraduate students in the post-Soviet transition country of Kazakhstan and found that students with different personality characteristics have different motivations and priorities in their pursuit of university degrees.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between personality traits, learning strategies and academic performance among undergraduate students in the post-Soviet transition country of Kazakhstan. Design/methodology/approach – The authors used a quantitative survey method to assess individual personality, learning strategies and academic motivations. Statistical software (SPSS) was used to conduct correlations, linear regressions and multiple regressions as a means of testing the hypotheses and making inferences. Findings – The results suggest that students with different personality characteristics have different motivations and priorities in their pursuit of university degrees. However, some of these differences seem to be related to their fields of academic study and biographical backgrounds. Practical implications – The research emphasises the importance of managing individuals by focusing on their individual differences in learning strategies, rather than by relying on the p...

TL;DR: It is shown that power of test statistic essentially depends on the quantity of Fisher's sample information this statistic uses, and some recommendations on implementing modified chi-squared type tests are given.
Abstract: Some recent results in the theory and applications of modified chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests are briefly discussed. It seems that for the first time power of modified chi-squared type tests for the logistic and three-parameter Weibull distributions based on moment type estimators is studied. Power of different modified tests against some alternatives for equiprobable fixed or random grouping intervals, and for Neyman–Pearson classes is investigated. It is shown that power of test statistic essentially depends on the quantity of Fisher's sample information this statistic uses. Some recommendations on implementing modified chi-squared type tests are given.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the bi-lingual and multicultural constellation and cultural and language policy pathways in Kazakhstan, as analyzed through the lenses of several models available in the respective literature on post-communist nation-building.
Abstract: Kazakhstan, the last emerging independent state from the former Soviet Union, inherited multiple challenges of having to build a new state and nation, while engaged in the painful economic and political transformation. Since independence was declared in 1991, diversity and tolerance have been officially at the heart of Kazakhstan’s national identity. Nevertheless, building a single nation in the country of two large ethnic groups (Russians and Kazakhs), with the reversed proportion of the language proficiency – as there are more ethnic Kazakhs but more Russian-speakers in the country – has been an ambivalent and controversial process. Constructing a nation in a primordial sense in this multi-ethnic country might well prove to be a mission impossible. Another option is promotion of the idea of a civic nation based on carefully drafted and consciously adapted multicultural policies. The existence, implementation, and success of such policies are contingent on several factors, including historical, demographic, and social ones. Some are linked to expedient political and economic strategies, however, and their further development would entail democratization of the political system in Kazakhstan. It seems that in Kazakhstan, inter-ethnic tensions have been alleviated by the fact that two major ethnic groups have not been, by and large, in direct confrontation and are balancing each other in the managed tradeoffs. So far, the dynamically developing society might be able to accommodate the interests of major ethnic groups but all the proposed solutions are inconclusive. The focus of this paper is on the bi-lingual and multicultural constellation and cultural and language policy pathways in Kazakhstan, as analyzed through the lenses of several models available in the respective literature on post-communist nation-building. The paper’s the methodology explores systematic historical and cultural interpretations and comparative intercultural-institutional analysis.
