Carried out assessment of mechanisms of innovative activity regulation in Kazakhstan in global system of competitiveness allowed fully assess effectiveness of regulation innovative activity mechanisms in economy. Researching subindices of International rating of World Economic Forum for 2017-2018 in relation to 2013-2014 authors noted that in Kazakhstan today there is decrease in all subindices of rating and factors (“Basic requirements”, “Business sophistication”), except for “Innovation” subindex. This subindex was significantly decreased due to sharp deterioration in macroeconomic environment, which is directly related, in opinion of authors, to significant losses in revenues from oil export. This in turn affected deterioration of budget’s indicators. There is special attention to place and role of innovative activity regulation in country’s socio-economic policy. Organizational-methodological problems during realization of innovative policy in Kazakhstan are also in details investigated, which makes it necessary to solve them in order to achieve innovative policy’s efficiency at regional and national levels.

The sharp deterioration of the environmental situation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, associated with human activity and the impact of harmful factors on the environment, affected the quality of food consumed by insufficient consumption of domestic fruit and vegetable products containing vitamins, minerals of an alkaline nature, carbohydrates, vegetable proteins, pectin substances and active fiber. The problem of improving the quality of growing and processing fruits and vegetables is one of the main tasks of the food independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Currently, the share of large vegetable farms in the Republic of Kazakhstan is only 10%. The volume of industrial processing of fruit and vegetable crops in Kazakhstan is insignificant. The demand for domestic fruit and vegetable products in the country is met only by 35-40%, most of it is imported from countries such as Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and China. There is a need for the development of organic vegetable growing in Kazakhstan and the creation of new types of domestic fruit and vegetable products containing a sufficient amount of useful and active substances that can bind and remove toxic substances and radioactive elements from the human body. The purpose of the work is to improve the technology of fruit and vegetable semi-finished products with natural spicy and aromatic additives, to develop a multi-component recipe for vegetable mixtures and a method for producing quick-frozen vegetable mixtures with high quality indicators. These studies were aimed at studying the chemical composition and functional and technological properties of vegetables and spicy - aromatic plants for the content of biogenic compounds: carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, essential oils, minerals and other substances. The structure of plant tissues was studied and the mass fraction of moisture, dry matter, fiber, mono - and disaccharides, pectin substances, vitamin C was determined, the formulation and production technology of Assorted vegetable mixtures were developed, and quality indicators were determined.

Main problem: The article analyzes water quality assurance as the main goal of preserving human health. The study of chemical and microbiological parameters of wastewater and drinking water was carried out using generally accepted standards. The number of deaths associated with the use of contaminated drinking water, according to WHO, tripled in 2021 and reached almost 19 thousand against 6 thousand in 2020. In addition, the number of neoplasms, diseases of the genitourinary system, digestive organs and skin increased by 2 %, to 1.486 million. The reasons for the increase in the level of harmful chemicals and microbiological pollutants in the water are outdated sewage treatment plants, old pipes and disinfection with chlorine. Purpose: Study of the quality of wastewater and drinking water in Pavlodar, study of the quality of wastewater and drinking water in Pavlodar. Methods: Sampling of wastewater, chemical and bacteriological analysis of wastewater and drinking water, statistical method, correlation analysis of experimentally obtained results and calculated characteristics, etc. Results and their significance: In the field of public health risk, pollution of reservoirs that are sources of household drinking water supply and recreational water use, the continuing necessary high deterioration of water supply networks, their accident rate, as a result of low level of operation, failures in the operation of treatment facilities. Hygienic assessment of reservoirs according to complex indicators indicates the continuing high degree of water pollution in places of water use. The water quality indicators of the surface reservoirs of the region remain low in terms of sanitary and chemical (primarily organoleptic and general sanitary), as well as microbiological indicators. According to toxicological indicators, the level of water pollution in places of water use is estimated as moderate. The main pollutants of the Irtysh River in Pavlodar are industrial enterprises and housing and communal facilities that discharge untreated or insufficiently treated wastewater into reservoirs. A complex of causes of drinking water pollution has been identified: high deterioration of water supply networks, their accident rate, because of a low level of operation, failures in the operation of treatment facilities, unfair treatment of industrial wastewater by industrial enterprises of Pavlodar, etc. Priority preventive directions for improving the quality of water as a source of life are the implementation of long-term targeted planning of measures for the modernization of water supply and sewerage networks and facilities in Pavlodar. The state of water supply necessary and measures to improve it should be constantly monitored and considered at meetings of sanitary and anti-epidemic commissions.

Main problem: recently, much attention has been paid to energy saving in production, especially when it comes to industrial units that burn fuel. There are several ways to maximize the use of the heat released during the combustion process, for example, to reduce the temperature of the flue gases at the outlet of the unit, by maximizing its use, both in the technological process itself and by installing additional heat-receiving units, for example, air heaters or other heaters. Another way to save money is to reduce heat losses through the lining of these high-temperature units. Metallurgical units that consume a large amount of energy and fuel require an analysis of their consumption, and ways to save their consumption based on the results of the analysis. Purpose: this article considers the possibility of replacing the existing inner insulation layer of the second and third sections of a high-temperature unit - a metallurgical furnace, with a new one with better technical and economic indicators. Methods: the possibility of replacing the existing inner insulation layer of the second and third sections of the high-temperature unit with a new one, with the best technical and economic indicators, was considered. The calculation of heat losses by thermal conductivity through the side surfaces and the roof with new insulation was performed, and the economic efficiency of the proposed solution was proved. Results and their significance: replacing the existing inner layer of insulation - refractory concrete PHLOCAST M30 (thermal conductivity coefficient from 1,4 to 1,45) with the proposed CERALIT GUN HK 70070 (thermal conductivity coefficient from 1,03 to 1,12) will reduce heat loss to the environment, and thus to reduce fuel consumption for the furnace.

In this article, comprehensive studies have been conducted on the effective use of natural pastures in conditions of vertical zonality in the project territory of Batyr Korday district (Zhambyl region). The data presented shows how important it is to comply with the norms and loads of pastures for further preservation of pasture yields and prevention of degradation. Consequently, there is a need to develop effective and scientifically-based systems of pasture turnover and the introduction of measures to restore pasture lands in the Zhambyl region, taking into account the peculiarities of the climate and geo-botanical indicators. Pasture lands make up about seventy percent of the entire territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The potential productivity of these lands reaches twenty-five and more million tons of fodder units. Pasture is the main renewable forage plant resource. It should be emphasized that haphazard use has led to the fact that land degradation processes occur on 27.5 million hectares of pastures, feed capacity decreases, biological diversity decreases, erosion processes manifest themselves, etc. All this requires the development of science-based approaches to the exploitation of pasture resources, compliance with the basic elements of rational grazing. The current situation may have a twofold path of development. The first way is the absence of strategic initiatives for the effective use of pastures for small producers will lead to a final reduction in the feed capacity of the pastures used. And the second way is small and large-scale use of the huge forage potential of the restored pastures.
