Реферат: The objectives of this paper are (1) to briefly describe the concept of self-esteem, Theory X and Theory Y assumptions, and four leadership styles based on attitudes toward self (self-esteem) and other people at work (Theory X vs. Theory Y belief system); to describe the exploratory research conducted, which was aimed toward identification of the prevailing level of self-esteem, the prevailing belief system or attitude toward others at work, and the prevailing leadership style based on attitudes toward self and other people at work of business students in Kazakhstan; and to describe the outcomes of the conducted exploratory research. One hundred and six students of a business college took part in the survey: forty two students majoring in management and sixty four students majoring in accounting. They were asked to fill-in a questionnaire on self-esteem and a questionnaire on Theory X and Theory Y assumptions. The findings indicate that all students - irrespective of their major - on average have relatively high self-esteem and moderate Theory X beliefs. The research also revealed that about fifty percent of all business students who took part in the survey will probably be bossy, pushy, impatient, inclined to criticism and autocratic style of leadership, whereas about forty percent will probably be willing to give and accept positive feedback and expect others to succeed.

Реферат: Central Asia\'s Aral Sea crisis represents a disaster of monumental proportions, a tragedy for both the region\'s ecology and its human inhabitants.

Historical nexuses will provide necessary background, and the linkages operating currently within the spheres of regional economy, human health, and political considerations will be detailed. Couching the current crisis within the framework of coupled human-environment system contexts reveals a region in which these linkages are largely inextricable. This paper concludes with a call for a reconsideration of the nature-society linkages and a greater emphasis placed on the local region\'s ecological and social sustainability.

Ключевые слова: административная реформа*иерархический идеальный тип государственного служащего*

Реферат: The battle over administrative reform is a battle between contending perspectives of who should populate and manage public organizations, or put differently, between definitions of the ideal civil servant. This article reflects upon the hierarchical civil servant ideal-type by exploring its model of man, homo hierarchicus. The article describes homo hierarchicus, examines how he understands, explains, and judges the world, then explicates his preferred governance arrangements for society and his preferred organizational and managerial arrangements for public organizations. In so doing, the article identifies the salient attributes of the hierarchical civil servant ideal-type and its place in the public sector, thereby confronting the fundamental question of whether the hierarchical civil servant ideal-type is a role model worthy of renewal.

Реферат: The term Eurasia is a contentious and illusive one and there is no consensus or agreement among authors on its meanings, implications and ramifications. President Nursultan Nazarbayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan introduced and developed his own vision, policies, perceptions and values of Eurasianism which he has been propagating and practicing on a continuous and consistent basis. In fact, the concept of Eurasianism and Eurasian policies have turned into state ideologies which are reflected in domestic, regional and foreign policies as well as in the foundation of the recent regional integration process. The purpose of the article is: to study and review the genesis of the old, popular as well as contemporary schools and thoughts of Eurasianism, their underlying goals, objectives and purposes in order to locate and understand Kazakhstan\'s views and concepts of Eurasianism in a broad historical and comparative perspectives; to review and critically analyze how President Nazarbayev\'s visions and policies of Eurasianism are reflected in the country\'s domestic, regional and foreign policies and what are their implications.

Реферат: The power-generalized Weibull probability distribution is very often used in survival analysis mainly because different values of its parameters allow for various shapes of hazard rate such as monotone increasing/ decreasing, ?-shaped, ?-shaped, or constant. Modified chi-squared tests based on maximum likelihood estimators of parameters that are shown to be ңn-consistent are proposed. Power of these tests against exponentiated Weibull, three-parameter Weibull, and generalized Weibull distributions is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. It is proposed to use the left-tailed rejection region because these tests are biased with respect to the above alternatives if one will use the righttailed rejection region. It is also shown that power of the McCulloch test investigated can be two or three times higher than that of Nikulin-Rao-Robson test with respect to the alternatives considered if expected cell frequencies are about 5.

Реферат: The objectives of this paper are (1) to briefly describe eight psychological traps that may jeopardize accuracy of decision-making; (2) to demonstrate an epistemological challenge of psychological traps presence in financial reporting; (3) to demonstrate psychological traps presence in financial reporting by referring to particular examples involving real companies; (4) and to discuss what external users can do not to be caught by the traps. The research involved a review of current accounting practice of financial statement preparation under IFRS and U.S. GAAP, its relation to psychological traps in decision-making, and a review of annual reports of different companies. This paper raises a concern about relevance and reliability of information presented in financial reports under current accounting practice and thus the accuracy of decisions made on their basis. The practical application of this paper is to make the external users of financial statements aware that they may be caught by psychological traps hidden in financial reporting, so that they could soberly assess the risks of grounding their decisions on reporting entity\'s financial statements.
