Annotation: In the modern world, the problems of criminalization and decriminalization remain one of the main aspects of Criminal Policy. The main problem is that criminal legislation should promptly react to changes in society, excluding actions that have lost public danger from the field of crime, and vice versa, be criminalized for new, socially harmful phenomena. To analyze modern trends in the field of criminalization and decriminalization, identify their consequences for law enforcement practice and give recommendations for improving legislation. In the course of the study, an analysis of criminal legal norms was carried out, domestic and foreign practices related to the processes of criminalization and decriminalization were considered in comparison. In addition, data and statistical data were used to assess the effectiveness of Legal Regulation. The study showed that it is important to take into account international experience. Decriminalization policies were positive in some countries and negative in others. For Kazakhstan, this study showed the need to adapt to modern challenges in the reform of criminal legislation, while maintaining national characteristics. The balanced conduct of criminalization and decriminalization not only increases the effectiveness of the law enforcement system, but also contributes to the strengthening of trust between the state and society. When implementing these processes, legislative decisions will have a positive effect only if they take into account public opinion, socio-economic factors and the capabilities of the legal system.

Annotation: The main issue faced by the labor market of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the mismatch between the quality and professional-qualification structure of the workforce and the needs of employers. This leads to a shortage of skilled workers despite the insufficient demand for labor, as well as low labor mobility. In the context of economic transformations and changing employer requirements, it is necessary to effectively regulate labor relations and create conditions for improving workers' legal protection in order to overcome this imbalance and establish an effective system of labor rights protection. The objective of the study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the factors affecting the functioning of the labor market in Kazakhstan and to identify effective regulatory mechanisms for protecting workers' labor rights. It is also important to study the impact of socio-economic programs aimed at improving the quality of life of the population, maintaining employment, and increasing income on the labor market. To achieve the research objectives, methods such as theoretical analysis of scientific sources and legal acts regulating labor relations in Kazakhstan, empirical study of statistical data and practical cases, comparative analysis of Kazakhstan's labor legislation with international practices, and modeling the impact of socio-economic programs on the labor market and legal protection of workers were used. These methods enabled a comprehensive examination of labor market issues and the identification of effective ways to improve legal regulation and labor rights protection. The study results revealed the need to enhance the interaction between government, private, and educational institutions to improve labor market functioning and workers' legal protection. In particular, it is important to strengthen the system of professional training and retraining of personnel that meet market demands. Additionally, it is necessary to develop labor mobility by improving conditions for retraining and upskilling workers. Special attention is given to the development and improvement of domestic mechanisms for protecting labor rights, including improving legal regulation to increase workers' legal protection from violations such as unlawful dismissal or lack of proper working conditions. The significance of these results lies in their contribution to solving issues related to the mismatch between employers' needs and the qualifications of the workforce, improving employment levels, and enhancing social stability. This also contributes to the better social protection of workers and more equitable income distribution, which directly impacts Kazakhstan's economic stability and development.

Annotation: Modern education requires the development of new approaches to teaching aimed at the formation of a holistic scientific worldview in students. One such approach is to combine academic subjects such as physics and biology. These subjects, despite their indifference to each other, have many common foundations, which makes them ideal for conducting joint classes. This article provides methodological guidelines for the organization and conduct of integrated classes, and also shows the possibilities of interdisciplinary integration through the study of physical processes in biological systems. The main tasks of testing the model program of the elective academic discipline “fundamentals of biophysics” at the stage of general education at the profile level were determined by the authors: to demonstrate the possibility of interdisciplinary integration of two disciplines of the Natural Science cycle: physics and biology, to show students the unity of the laws of nature, the application of the laws of physics to a living organism. The methodological basis for teaching law at the General stage of education is considered to be a systematic-active approach that ensures the achievement of individual, subject-based educational results through the organization of active cognitive activity of students.
