Annotation: The article discusses the experience of developing a computer video game by a team of students of the Department of Information Technology of the Innovative University of Eurasia within the 48-hour competition «48h Game Making Challenge» for creating video games, held in Pavlodar on October 27-29, 2022 in the IT-Hub building of the College of Information Technologies (93 Lermontov St.). Basic information about the event and a link to the registration form were published on the Instagram @digital_drive14 social network page and on the website https://digitaldrive.kz /. 8 teams from different educational institutions of Pavlodar participated in the competition. The purpose of the article is to comprehend the practical experience of developing a computer game. The team chose the Unity game engine as the environment and the main tool for developing a computer game. The Unity program is a popular development environment for interactive 2D and 3D content. The engine is completely free for the average user. The Unity engine was also chosen because it is multifunctional and uses a component-oriented approach, in which the developer creates objects and adds various components to them. The advantage of the engine was also the presence of a huge library of assets and plugins, with which you can significantly speed up the game development process. The graphics of the game were made in Photoshop. The music and sounds were taken from free sources. InEU team developed a computer game «Conqueror of the Moon» and became the winner of the contest «48 Hour Game Making Challenge Pavlodar 2022». During the development of the game, the team first chose the engine, developed the plot and concept of the game, created an image for the level and menu. Then the programmer developed the mechanics of the game, wrote code for control, time, dialogues, messages. The designers drew the environment, background, characters, created all the animations for the game and found music for the background of the menu and the game itself.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the main types of retort packaging, as well as polymer and combined materials used for its manufacture. The authors have compiled a classification of retort packaging presented on the modern market, investigated the technological properties of packaging materials, and also determined the requirements for modern retort packaging: resistance to sterilization at a temperature of at least 120°C, steam and moisture resistance, chemical inertia to canned products, tightness, low gas permeability. It has been established that in order to give the retort packaging the required properties, it is made of multilayer polymer or combined materials, each of the layers of which performs certain functions. It is determined that due to the barrier properties of polymer and combined materials with respect to oxygen, retort packaging provides shelf life of canned products up to 5 years, which allows the use of retort packaging made of polymer and combined materials as an alternative to glass and metal packaging. In experimental studies, the composition of the outer layers of modern retort packaging was analyzed and it was concluded that polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate are most often used, since these polymer materials are thermally and chemically resistant, vapor- and moisture-proof. It is established that materials that are barriers to gases are used as the middle layer – aluminum foil, metallized films, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyamide. It is proved that polymer co-extrusion, multilayer injection molding or lamination is used for the manufacture of such materials and packaging. The data obtained indicate the high barrier properties of combined packaging materials, therefore, the thermal and chemical stability of the polymer and combined materials used makes it possible to use retort packaging for packing almost all groups of canned products.

Annotation: The present stage of development of power systems is characterized by the need to increase their intelligence, that is, the formation of an environment capable of solving the problems of effective management of all components included in the power system. One of the features of modern energy systems is an active consumer, that is, a consumer who has the opportunity to optimize the schedule of loading their capacities, planning energy consumption, intellectualization of energy consumption. In addition to the fact that there are digital systems for collecting, processing and presenting information, as well as transmitting this information via the Internet, to solve the most difficult task of managing power systems, it is necessary to develop a large number of models adequate to real processes that can describe the processes taking place in the power system under consideration. The purpose is to develop models capable of adequately describing the interrelated processes occurring in the considered elements of the power system, as well as in the aggregate of related elements; development of methods that allow solving problems of effective control of elements of energy systems on the basis of the proposed intelligent models. To solve the problem of increasing the intelligence of the power system, nonlinear adaptive models of electrical complexes of an energy-intensive enterprise included in the power system were developed on the basis of balance equations and artificial intelligence methods. The production of alumina with the properties of inertia, nonlinearity and closure is chosen as the production under consideration. This type of production was chosen as the most difficult to predict due to the unpredictability of changes in energy consumption during the transition to other modes of its operation, associated, for example, with the receipt of raw materials with a different chemical composition for processing. Static and dynamic models of energy consumption of electrotechnical complexes with continuous inertial nonlinear closed production based on artificial intelligence methods have been developed, which makes it possible to eliminate the need to use long time series of retrospective data. For the considered type of continuous energy-intensive production, dynamic characteristics of energy consumption and technological processes are obtained from the main controlled parameters, which make it possible to predict emergency situations and partly man-made disasters. On the basis of a genetic algorithm, a multiparametric optimization problem of energy management of continuous production has been solved, taking into account technological parameters and cost factors.

Annotation: This study examines the problematic issues of improving labor legislation. At the present stage of development of market transformations in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as taking into account the entry of the Republic of Kazakhstan into the Eurasian Economic Union, the problems of reforming labor legislation are of crucial importance. This necessitated the emergence of new views on the legal regulation of public relations in the field of the realization of the right to work. In this regard, it becomes urgent to rethink many fundamental provisions of labor law, and among them, not the last place is occupied by the problems of improving labor legislation in various areas of labor relations in a market economy. At the present stage of development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, labor legislation should guarantee the implementation of a wide range of not only labor, but also other socio-economic and personal rights and freedoms. Despite the relative research, the study of issues of further improvement of labor legislation does not lose its relevance, taking into account the fact that both the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in general and labor legislation in particular are constantly developing and need further development and improvement. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive study of the current state of the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the definition of the main directions of its improvement in the light of the protection of labor rights. The methodological basis of the research is based on modern methods of cognition: dialectical, formally logical, historical, comparative legal, analytical-synthetic, system-structural, logical-legal. The article substantiates the need for new theoretical and methodological approaches to the consideration of the main directions of improving the labor legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in connection with which, there is an urgent need to study labor legislation, which is designed to ensure the labor rights of man and citizen, from the perspective of its further improvement. The concept of improving labor legislation is defined, which refers to the activities of the competent authorities of the state to support its qualitative state in accordance with the needs of the development of labor and closely related relations, which is aimed at ensuring the effectiveness of legal regulation of these relations.

Annotation: The bar as an institution of civil society ensures the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, guarantees fair justice. A lawyer has long been called a defender – who protects a person, his or her rights and legitimate interests. In the legal system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, attorney-client privilege is considered as a moral and ethical problem at the level of self-governing structures of the bar. The lack of sufficient scientific and theoretical research on the problems of attorney-client privilege, the uncertainty of the status of the bar both in the system of the Institute of defense and justice itself lead to the unsettled legal status of attorney-client privilege, which also determines the relevance of the topic of scientific research. The purpose of the study is a historical and legal analysis of the content of "attorney-client privilege"; identification of gaps in the legal regulation of the concept, content and guarantees of attorney-client privilege, taking into account the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international legal acts in the field of human rights; identification of ways to solve problematic issues of ensuring attorney-client privilege. The methodological basis is a set of general scientific and philosophical methods that made it possible to disclose the subject of research and achieve the goal. The article substantiates a number of theses: attorney-client secrecy is considered on the basis of quantitative and qualitative methods of law analysis and a broad base of moral, ethical, historical and legal problems of protecting human and civil rights and freedoms; attorney-client secrecy and the problems of advocacy are considered in the system of social and, in particular, legal institutions as a process of institutionalization in general. In other words, the need for objective knowledge of public relations is actualized, the main element of which is legal relations, and a specific area is secrecy; the system of legal relations that arise in connection with the need to observe attorney-client confidentiality, the system of legal support of attorney-client confidentiality for the successful implementation of their activities by lawyers and to increase confidence in the lawyer in the state is analyzed.

Annotation: The main thesis of the proposed research is that in modern conditions of globalization and the development of the information society, approaches in civil law turnover to goods and, accordingly, to the protection of human rights are radically changing. As part of the development of electronic commerce, information has also become a commodity, which causes many different disputes in science. Perhaps this is due to the fact that information is a relatively new object for the science of civil law, compared with objects of law that have been known for more than two thousand years, such as a thing and are considered classical. Information, confidential information (trade secrets and know-how) belong to the so-called objects of law, and civilists, relatively speaking, call them atypical, since they have become known to civil law not so long ago. The development of economic relations, as a rule, requires the development of a new, appropriate array of legal norms, which in the future may form a separate civil law institution that does not contradict the Constitution of the Republic. The purpose of the study is to develop its own conclusions based on a comprehensive civil law analysis of the legal nature of e-commerce relations, its essential features of civil law regulation of relations in the field of e-commerce and information; to provide suggestions and recommendations for improving legislation in this area. In addition, the article pays attention to the protection of the rights of consumers of e-commerce services. When conducting the research, the author was guided by the following methods: general scientific (historical, formal-logical, system-structural, system-comparative, etc.) and special legal (formal-legal, comparative-legal and others). The article substantiates that the evolution of the carrier of the written form does not lead to the emergence of a new form next to the written one: the peculiarity of the very fixation of the will in electronic data transmission means is not only the creation of a text document, but also the possibility of fixing the will with the help of sound, video files, graphic files. The doctrine of civil law has formulated a conceptual approach, according to which the possibility of the emergence and existence of the right of ownership of information is denied. In the civil sense, information as such cannot be exploited as a thing, or used as a result of intellectual, creative activity. The article concludes that the relations of an individual entrepreneur arising from contracts aimed at purchasing, ordering goods (works, services) for the purpose of satisfying personal, family, household, cultural and other personal household needs not related to the implementation of their entrepreneurial activities should be subject to legislation about consumer protection.

Annotation: The sphere of taxation, ensuring the implementation by the state of the first stage of public financial activity is the mobilization of public funds, is the subject of close attention of scientists and increased public interest. The processes of tax reform taking place in the Republic of Kazakhstan show the dynamics of tax and legal regulation, implement a number of international standards in the field of tax relations, which cause an urgent need for theoretical understanding and thorough generalization, analysis and evaluation of new or significantly changed institutions of tax law. Tax administration has a procedural nature, which reflects the dynamics and statics of tax legal relations. From the standpoint of statics, tax administration is a set of all tax procedures provided for by tax legislation aimed at ensuring the receipt of tax payments to the relevant budgets. The purpose of the study is to determine the legal regulation of the procedures for fulfilling the obligation to pay taxes and fees by individuals and legal entities in the Republic of Kazakhstan by clarifying their legal nature, and bringing to administrative responsibility for non-fulfillment of this obligation. The methodological basis of the research is based on modern methods of cognition: dialectical, formal-logical, historical, comparative-legal, analytical-synthetic, system-structural, logical-legal. The article describes the legal regulation of the fulfillment of the obligation to pay taxes and fees in the Republic of Kazakhstan from the standpoint of statics (as a set of all tax procedures provided for by tax legislation, aimed at ensuring the receipt of tax payments to the relevant budgets) and dynamics (as the activities of relevant entities for the implementation of tax procedures). A distinction has been made between tax administration in a broad and narrow sense as: tax administration, which includes the whole set of procedures, including bringing to administrative responsibility for non–payment of taxes, as well as procedures for resolving tax conflicts in the mode of administrative coordination and in court; administration of tax payment - procedures for the payment of taxes and fees, the result of the implementation of which is aimed at all tax activities of the state, which ensures the actual receipt of funds to the budgets. The article also discusses a number of features of bringing legal entities to administrative responsibility for non-payment of taxes, within the framework of administrative proceedings.

Annotation: In recent years, the Republic of Kazakhstan has maintained an ambiguous criminal situation, and there is an increase in certain types of crimes, against the background of the overall positive dynamics of decline. Special attention of criminologists has recently been attracted to the study of crimes in the family and household sphere, and crimes committed in the sphere of religious and spiritual relations, since both of these types are showing increasing prevalence. Therefore, considering such an important institution as a «voluntary refusal», it would be advisable to consider them from the perspective of the offenses we have named, especially since countering them is one of the main directions of state criminal policy. In general, the study of the institution of voluntary refusal to commit an offense is based not only on coercive measures, but also on incentive measures, which means the opportunity to correct the behavior of the offender until the end of the illegal act. The purpose of this scientific article is to study the features of voluntary refusal to commit a criminal offense in crimes committed in the sphere of religious, spiritual and family-household relations, taking into account practice and making recommendations for improving regulations of a criminal nature. The leading methodological tools of the scientific article are dialectical, phenomenological, synergetic and systematic approaches of scientific cognition. Before proceeding to the analysis of the concept of voluntary refusal, it should be noted that the norms about it are far from perfect. There is no unambiguous understanding of the signs of voluntary refusal among scientists, which complicates law enforcement practice. One of the most important tasks of any scientific research is the development of scientific concepts. The consolidation of such concepts in legislation is an effective way to establish a uniform understanding of the norms, a clear idea of their content and, as a result, an increase in the effectiveness of the impact of criminal law in the process of legal regulation. However, these concepts themselves do not reflect reality like contemplation or representation, they are closer to the essence of the phenomenon. The article concludes that the essential features of the concept itself somewhat narrow the objective reality. But, at the same time, the correct identification of the main features in the concept is an important task of scientific research.

Annotation: Main problem: achievement of socio-economic sustainability in each locality depends on coordinated actions of executive and representative authorities, which should be focused on creating appropriate conditions for ensuring social standards and improving quality of life of rural population, as well as the development of main economic basis – agricultural production. In this context, in today’s reality, the urgent problem of sustainable development of rural settlements is provision of appropriate industrial and social infrastructure, because systemic development of rural regions depends on this rural infrastructure, which acts as an element of territorial socio-economic subsystem. Purpose: identification and studying of key factors that determines and contributes to balanced development of industrial and social infrastructure of rural regions of country in context of sustainable development goals and objectives. According to the results of the study, the main distinctive features of sustainable development of rural areas are determined due to the provision of industrial and social infrastructure of rural regions, which has a correlation with the level and quality of life of the rural population, as well as the final results of agricultural production. Methods: general methodological principles, systematic approach and empirical methods of economic cognition act as methodological basis for implementation of this study: economic and statistical models, forecasting and modeling, methods of induction and deduction, synthesis, and also logical methods. Results and their significance: results of research can be used as a practical basis in activity of local executive bodies and local self-government bodies. Their use is possible for scientific substantiation of development and implementation of comprehensive plans for development of industrial and social infrastructure of rural areas of region within framework of Regional Development Plan, focused on qualitative improvement of economic basis of villages and the well-being of all segments of rural population.

Annotation: Main problem: rapidly changing trends in development of economies of countries require a rational approach to state regulation of innovative activity and investments directed to organization of real sector of the economy. At the same time, for analysis of modern state policy in the system of innovative development, it is necessary to assess the effectiveness of state regulation mechanisms of innovative activity in the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Purpose: to assess mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan in the global competitiveness system. Methods: synthesis, content analysis, accommodation, monographic method, factor analysis, economic and statistical research method. Results and their significance: the assessment of the mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the Republic of Kazakhstan in the global competitiveness system allowed to fully assessing effectiveness of mechanisms of state regulation of innovative activity in the economy. Examining the sub-indices of international rating of the World Economic Forum for 2021-2022 in relation to 2017-2018, the authors came to conclusion that in Kazakhstan today there is the decrease in all the sub-indices of rating and their factors (“basic requirements” and “business complexity”), with exception of “innovation” sub-index. This sub-index was significantly reduced due to a sharp deterioration in macroeconomic environment, which is directly related, according to the authors, to significant losses in oil export revenues. This, in turn, affected the deterioration of the state budget indicators. The article pays special attention to place and role of state regulation of innovative activity in the socio-economic policy of the country. Organizational and methodological problems in development and implementation of innovative policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan are researched in detail, which makes it necessary to solve them in order to achieve the effectiveness of innovative policy at the regional and national levels.
