    A FEW GLOBAL TRENDS AND POINTS OF COMMONALITY IN QUALITY ASSURANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION
    (2012-08) Ruby, Alan
    In this brief paper author offers a public policy perspective on quality assurance in higher education. Author begins by arguing that there is a growing public interest in quality assurance and offers some reasons for this increased attention. He suggests that the forces and factors that have fostered this greater interest are common to many countries and that this commonality has led to a convergence of the fundamental principles underlying quality assurance in different jurisdictions. He concludes by suggesting how these principles might apply at higher education institutions in new nations and emerging systems of higher education in the region.

The Internet provides easy access to any source of information, which adversely affects the learning process. And one of the most important aspects of concern to the world community is the problem of academic integrity. It analyzes the experience of implementing and applying the policy of academic integrity in the United States of America. Some preventive measures taken by the administration of universities to prevent and eliminate the facts of violation of academic integrity are considered. Cases on violations of the “Code of Honor” and the possible consequences of such a violation are cited. In addition, work is being carried out to ensure academic integrity in some universities of Kazakhstan in order to further adopt some of the provisions that can be used by domestic universities in order to prevent academic irregularities

    Adapting Statistics and Query-Tracking Tools for Reference Services: Nazarbayev University Library Case Study
    (7th International Conference on Emerging Global Trends in University Library Development (Library Connect 2018), 2018-05-23) Terzi, Paschalia; Kamilova, Yelizaveta
    The purpose of this paper is to show how Nazarbayev University Library (NUL), a small-sized academic library located in Central Asia and operating in a nonwestern, post-Soviet environment uses software tools, specifically Gimlet, Reference Analytics and Query Spy, to gather statistics on reference interactions, both virtual and face-to-face, to drive decision making. The specific objectives are as follows: to describe how the above mentioned tools adapted to the local environment and needs of the Nazarbayev University Library; and, discuss if and how decision making in NUL can be improved using these tools as well as providing suggestions and recommendations for libraries in Central Asia thinking of adapting these tools to their needs. The authors believe that the topic of this article, specifically adapting technologies in libraries, is closely related to the themes of the conference, especially to trends and tools in academic library services.

    An experience with teaching squares
    (Nazarbayev University, 2014) Clementi, A.; Goodman, Bridget; Kovanis, V.; Rizvi, M.
    Teaching Squares is a technique which was developed in 2001, is now used at numerous universities worldwide, and is aimed at informing and improving teaching [1]. It uses a process of classroom observation combined with personal and group reflection, while being free from the pressure of peer observations typically performed for the purpose of evaluation. For the initial trial of this technique at Nazarbayev University, three groups of four professors each (3 squares) were selected from across the university. We report the experience of our square.

    An optimization-based framework for the scheduling of operations of compressed natural gas fuelling stations: a case study of municipal bus fleet in south Kazakhstan
    (Nazarbayev University, 2014) Seiilova, L.; Kopanos, G. M.
    This work introduces an optimization-based framework for the scheduling of operations of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuelling stations for municipal bus fleets. The problem under study considers technical characteristics of the bus engines as well as the distance of their routes. This allows the planning of operations of the compressor network of the CNG fuelling station in accordance with the electricity price, storage capacity and time.

    (Nazarbayev University Library, 2020-09) Shubina, Irina
    Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to describe the efforts of the library to enrich the fund and to find the ways to develop library collection free of charge. This paper will describe how libraries can supply library users with the materials they need, offering students the chances to be better prepared for their research and lessons and to improve the educational process at the university. Methodology. The assessment used the quantity of the books received by the library free of charge and quantity of the partners, with whom are established good relationships. Findings. It is necessary to underline that the search of book donors is a very important direction in library activities and can be very fruitful for library users. Good library collection gives students an opportunity to receive better education, which would ultimately improve their lives and ensure a brighter future. However, it is not easy to find the book donors, also there are problems with ship customs and it needed to resolve them. Research limitations/implications. While one of the goals of the academic library is to support and enrich the resources and services the library provides to students and professors it is necessary to find novel ways of library collection development.

    Brain growth in chimpanzees: wild vs.captive, mass vs. volume
    (Nazarbayev University, 2014) Cofran, Z.
    This study compares postnatal brain size change in two important samples of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): brain masses of captive apes from the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and endocranial volumes (ECVs) of wild-collected individuals from the Ta'i Forest, Cote d'Ivoire. Unlike for other skeletal collections, age at death is known for every individual in these samples. These cross-sectional datasets therefore allow inferences of patterns and rates of brain growth in these populations. Previous studies have revealed differences in growth, development and health between wild and captive animals, but such habitat effects have yet to be investigated for brain growth. It has also been hypothesized that brain mass and endocranial volume follow different growth curves.
