Relevance. Potential restrictions on wheat exports, risks of disruptions to its transportation, and increased market uncertainty highlight the need to assess regulatory measures for Kazakhstan’s wheat market.
The purpose is to find out the impact of the potential introduction of an export duty on the wheat market in Kazakhstan.
Objectives: to assess the consequences of wheat export regulation methods; to verify the feasibility of wheat export restrictions, considering availability indices and grain self-sufficiency indices in Kazakhstan.
Methodology. The paper uses the method of analyzing stakeholders who benefited or suffered from the introduction of an export duty on wheat in Kazakhstan. The paper uses a model to estimate the effects of an export duty on wheat.
Results. Under the effect of the export duty, the surplus of producers in Kazakhstan will be reduced by $163.4 million. Part of these losses, equal to the total revenue from the duty, will be transferred to the state budget. (USD 141.9 million). Domestic wheat consumers will benefit from increased purchases and lower prices, and their surplus will increase by $5.4 million. The net result of the Republic of Kazakhstan from the introduction of export duties is losses in the amount of 57.8 million US dollars.
Conclusions. Wheat exports in Kazakhstan should not be restricted. The republic has sufficient wheat supplies, with a low risk of shortages, as evidenced by high stocks-to-use ratios. Export duties on wheat are a counterproductive measure that could reduce the investment attractiveness of the sub-sector. Export duties carry the risk of losing hard-won foreign markets if reduced supplies from Kazakhstan’s exporters are replaced by products from competing countries. It is important not to hinder the increase in wheat production so that there is enough for both growing domestic demand and exports.

Relevance. In the context of increasing instability and uncertainty, characterized by the concept of the VUCA world, traditional hierarchical management models demonstrate limited efficiency, which necessitates the development and implementation of adaptive management technologies.

Objectives. To achieve the goal of the study, the following scientific tasks were solved: to analyze and systematize existing theoretical approaches to defining the concept of “flexible management technologies” in the scientific literature; to highlight the key characteristics of FMT that ensure adaptability, situational orientation and management efficiency; to develop the author's definition of FMT that integrates various aspects of management activity; to systematize existing FMT classifications.
Methodology. In the process of solving scientific problems, the authors used a set of general scientific methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis, system and comparative analysis, classification and systematization, abstraction and concretization, as well as statistical analysis of data presented in analytical reports and scientific publications.
Results. The results of the conducted research are the development of the author's definition of flexible management technologies, integrating three key aspects: adaptability, situational orientation and efficiency, as well as the multidimensional classification of flexible management technologies proposed by the authors, taking into account the state of the economic entity, management orientation and the ability to adapt to changes.
Conclusions. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the developed theoretical provisions and classification models to form effective strategies for the implementation of gas turbine units at industrial enterprises. The proposed author's definition of FMT allows to unify the terminological apparatus and provide an unambiguous understanding of the essence of FMT among management personnel. The developed classification of FMT can be used to select the most appropriate management tools and methods depending on the specifics of a particular enterprise and its development goals.

Relevance. The Russian economy is facing a wide range of challenges and threats under unprecedented sanctions pressure. It is necessary to make decisions on the further development of the Russian economy through the structural transformation of the economic system in the new realities. With the changing geopolitical situation, the problem of studying the process of alienation of foreign enterprises and their transfer to the management of the Russian state is becoming relevant.
The purpose is to analyze the management mechanisms of enterprises that have become state property of the Russian Federation from foreign capital to ensure economic security.
Objectives: identification of prerequisites for the implementation of retaliatory measures; consideration of the external administration for the management of the organization; critical analysis of the positive and negative aspects of external economic management used for foreign companies in the context of new challenges and threats to national security; systematization of regulatory support for the nationalization of enterprises; disclosure of the mechanism for the transfer of foreign capital under the Russian jurisdiction of federal authorities and the subsequent existence of in the new conditions; management analysis of companies whose assets have been temporarily managed, as well as their future development prospects.
Methodology. The research is based on system information analysis, the use of logical research methods, methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, forecasting and prediction. Results: a new management mechanism for enterprises that have been transferred to state ownership from foreign capital, which would be a kind of hybrid of the external management procedure provided for by the bankruptcy law, supplemented by an element of asset substitution.
Conclusions. The methodological basis for the effective management of foreign enterprises that have become state-owned due to various reasons (bankruptcy, liquidation, political situation, money laundering and corruption, violation of the corporate code) is formulated. The development of modern approaches to the nationalization of property of foreign investors and the improvement of the external management mechanism are proposed. The alienation of property should take into account the specifics of the economy, the goals of import substitution and ensuring national security, primarily financial security.

Relevance. According to J. Barney, strategic management seeks to address the central research question: "Why do some firms consistently outperform others?" By outperformance, J. Barney refers to sustained differences in firm efficiency across companies. The authors of this article align with Barney’s position but offer one refinement: strategic management examines these differences in firm efficiency over the long term. Nevertheless, the question of what precisely constitutes "efficiency" and how this concept has been interpreted by various schools of strategic management theories across different periods remains under-researched.
The purpose is to examine the evolution of strategic management theories and identify which type of efficiency is key to a firm’s success in each of the considered concepts.
Objectives: to analyze the concepts of strategic management at different stages of the "Strategic Management" discipline’s formation and to systematize the types of efficiency that were central to these concepts.
Methodology. The study employs the historical-logical method to identify interconnections between theories, as well as a comparative analysis of their approaches to efficiency.
Results. Key strategic management concepts are examined in the order of their evolution. An analysis is conducted to determine which type of efficiency is central to these concepts.
Conclusions. It is established that early schools of strategic management (design, planning, positioning) emphasize allocative efficiency. Several second-wave schools (learning, power, culture) consider adaptive efficiency as primary. The resource-based view incorporates both types of efficiency. The dynamic capabilities framework shifts the focus to systemic (synergistic) efficiency.

Relevance. Food quality is a pledge of society’s health and longevity, as it most directly affects the physiological potential of humanity and its future generations. Poor product quality not only leads to falling sales in the future, but also damages business reputation and financial well-being in the long run. The state has already actively engaged in the process of quality control of products, but there remain challenges for businesses to upgrade and adapt their own production to innovative standards.
Purpose. The main objective of this study was the need to study and control the quality of food production in the context of the emergence of a data economy.
Objectives. The article sets and consistently solves the following tasks: to evaluate the system of state monitoring of control of public and organized catering of the population of different age and social groups, to identify the main problems of declining quality of food production in the industrial sector, to determine the importance of innovative digital technologies for labeling and quality control of food products; to develop recommendations for improving the digital monitoring system.
Methodology. The work used general scientific methods of generalization, analysis of information resources, systematization, analogy and comparison.
Results. High-quality nutrition of the population is impossible without the production of sufficient and balanced quantities of food products in accordance with physiological norms of human consumption. Reducing the turnover of counterfeit products on the food market and increasing the responsibility of producers and sellers is possible under the conditions of using digital tracking methods.
Conclusions. Nutrition of the population acts as an important direction of balanced development of labor resources, so the problem of low-quality food products found reflection in the emergence of digital monitoring methods of product turnover traceability. The development and implementation of digital product traceability tools will not only bring credibility to product turnover, but also enhance the accountability of manufacturers and suppliers of a given product to end users.

Relevance. The development of digital technologies is radically gradually changing the face of modern agricultural production, which is reflected in the grain industry, where precision farming systems and artificial intelligence are already being introduced. On the one hand, such rapid development of technologies contributes to an increase in the economic efficiency of grain production and a decrease in the impact of external negative factors, and on the other hand, it leads to the emergence of new types of risks for the industry, the impact of which can also have serious consequences.
The purpose is to systematize the risks of digitalization of grain production..
Objectives: on the basis of the classification of risks of digitalization of grain production proposed by the author, to systematize them; develop a scheme for identifying the risks of digitalization of grain production.
Methodology. Based on a critical analysis of a number of scientific studies, using systematization methods (classification and grouping), the risks of digitalization of grain production were systematized, and a scheme for identifying these risks was proposed.
Results. The study suggests such risk groups for the digitalization of grain production as the technological complexity of implementation, management and use of data, socio-economic risks and the speed of adaptation. These risks are proposed to be identified by the place of occurrence, by the degree of influence on the production process and by the scope of impact, for which an appropriate scheme is proposed.
Conclusions. The results obtained have practical significance. The prospect of further research is to develop methodological recommendations for managing digital technologies in grain production at the level of specific farms, as well as methods for their implementation, which should take into account the specifics and problems of industry development.

Relevance. In modern conditions, the problem of digitalization of the Russian economy has been relevant for many years. Both the government and the private sector pay increased attention to the development of digitalization.
The purpose of the study is to quantify the relationship between the level of digital inequality and the socioeconomic development of Russian regions.
Objectives: to select three different indicators of digitalization of regions; to identify the first five and last five regions, sorted by the level of GRP per capita, relative to digitalization indicators; to calculate the correlation coefficients between GRP by year and digitalization indicators by year; to check the relationship between GRP and digitalization indicators for the four studied years, to measure the correlation coefficients for four present the correlation coefficients between GRP per capita in Russia and the three indicators of digitalization for 2020-2023.; to identify the relationship between GRP and digitalization indicators; to present a linear and log-linear model of the relationship between GRP and digitalization indicators.
Methodology. The research used such general scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, classification, grouping, as well as economic and statistical methods, correlation and regression analysis.
Results. The analysis of the relationship of digital inequality on the socio-economic development of Russian regions for 2020-2023 is carried out. It was found that there is a weak correlation between GRP per capita and the indicator "the proportion of households with broadband Internet access in the total number of households". There is practically no connection for other selected indicators. The level of digital development (inequality) is far from the most important factor in the development of Russian regions. It is noted that there is a problem of measuring the impact due to the bidirectional relationship between economic development and digitalization.
Conclusions. A quantitative analysis of the relationship between the economic development of Russian regions and digital inequality has been carried out. There is a connection, but it is weak. It is necessary to develop one common aggregated indicator, which will take into account the diversity of digital inequality between regions.

The relevance of studying the problem of telephone fraud is determined by the rapid digitalization of society and the emergence of new technologically sophisticated schemes of financial deception targeting the population. In the context of intensive growth of cybercrime, representatives of older age groups demonstrate particular vulnerability, which requires a multidisciplinary analysis of both economic consequences and socio-psychological mechanisms of victimization.
The purpose of the study is a comprehensive sociological analysis of the phenomenon of telephone fraud, with particular emphasis on assessing the economic and socio-psychological damage inflicted on crime victims.
The objectives of the study are to identify and characterize group risks, economic effects, study psychological consequences for victims, characterize modern high-tech fraud schemes, and consider ways to form sociopsychological resilience brought by victims to highly skilled manipulations.
Methodology. The empirical and informational basis of the study consists of a mass questionnaire survey of the population using a quota sample, in-depth interviews with experts from among law enforcement officers, and a secondary analysis of VTsIOM data.
Results. In the case of telephone fraud, older people, firstly, lose financial resources, secondly, experience a significant deterioration in their overall emotional state and well-being, and thirdly, chronic diseases are exacerbated.
Conclusions. The formation of socio-psychological resistance of potential elderly victims to manipulation seems possible through: firstly, cognitive restructuring of basic social attitudes; secondly, weakening of hypertrophied behavioral reactions; thirdly, by reducing strict self-control due to seeking advice from relatives and friends; thirdly, by reducing the readiness for mandatory and quick cooperation with representatives of official bodies (which the calling scammers are not in reality)

Relevance. In today's world, where information technology is developing rapidly, the study of the digital divide is becoming particularly relevant, especially in the context of generational theory. People born at different times have different values, attitudes, and skills, which is related to. They grew up and formed in different socio-cultural conditions.

Methodology. The following methods were used to solve the research problems: process-functional, methods of analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization, as well as methods of graphical representation.
Results. The study showed that each generation has a unique approach to communication in a digital environment. Generation X values meaningful text and keeps in touch with the real world, Generation Y prefers visual content and superficial communication, and generation Z strives for brief and secure virtual interaction, where visual prevails over textual.
Conclusions. To bridge this gap, it is necessary not only to provide technical access to digital technologies, but also to develop digital literacy among the population. Digital literacy includes not only technical skills, but also an understanding of the ethical aspects of interacting in a digital environment, such as data privacy, respectful communication, and cybersecurity.

Relevance. Currently, despite the emerging positive trends, the prestige of the municipal service is low. Young professionals who come to municipalities do not stay there to work, a characteristic feature is the high staff turnover. Under the current conditions, it is necessary to develop a unified, effective mechanism for the selection, adaptation and maintenance of the municipal service contingent.
The purpose of the study was to understand the key areas for improving the system of working with the contingent of the municipal service, as necessary conditions for increasing its prestige.
Objectives: to analyze the existing scientific, practical and regulatory approaches to working with the contingent in the municipal service system and identify areas of improvement that can ensure the prestige of the municipal service. The methodology consisted in analyzing and summarizing scientific approaches to the personnel policy of the municipal service, analyzing the regulatory framework governing the municipal service, and analyzing the websites of municipalities.
Results. The article analyzes the problems characterizing the state of personnel policy in the municipal service system. The directions of improving the municipal service, ensuring an increase in its attractiveness, are identified and systematized, and it is determined that the prestige of the municipal service primarily depends on personnel policy.
Conclusions. The key areas for increasing the prestige of the municipal service are: reviewing the existing personnel policy, forming an effective system of motivation for municipal employees to work with the public in a highquality manner, which will create a positive field of interaction with the entrusted population and qualitatively change the professional environment, targeted work with students studying in specialized training areas, and preventing professional burnout of municipal employees.

Relevance. In framework of the goals for technological leadership of Russian organizations a contradiction arises between the mismatch the educational results and the nature of their work, for the implementation of which it's necessary to master innovations continuously by studying and ensuring the continuity in previous developments.
The purpose is to analyze the difficulties encountered by the young people with higher education in the process of finding for a job and implementing work.
Objectives: to assess the reasons for unemployment, student satisfaction as well as the nature of work among employed; to identify strategies for professional self-determination.
Methodology. Basic provisions are revealed through a critical analysis of the self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan), their substantive aspects are supplemented by domestic sociological studies in the last 5-10 years. The empirical base was a study of young specialists’ employment in six months after university graduation from a large Russian university in 2017-2023 (n=8939).
Results. A typology of professional self-determination strategies is proposed: maladaptive, adaptive, anticipatory. An adaptive strategy is common, but those who are satisfied with their university education (43%) also feel insecure about their demand in the labor market (28%), lack of skills (24%), and lack interest in the content of their post-university work (15%).
Conclusions. The research results can be used by university management to improve the quality of their ecosystems based on solving problem tasks in the learning and aimed at revealing their abilities for specific work.

Relevance. In this article, the authors reveal the concept of "freedom" from the point of view of the philosophy of law and its projection into the cultural field. Individual freedom cannot be absolute and can only be associated with an individual, it is always invariably associated with the freedom of other members of society and is formalized by law in the modern world.
The purpose is interpretation of the phenomenon of freedom as a fundamental concept of the philosophy of law in the context of socio-cultural development.
Оbjectives are: to reveal the phenomenon of freedom, its philosophical and legal aspects; to explicate the main provisions of the socio-cultural development of ideas about the phenomenon of freedom; to identify the relationship and difference between the dichotomous connectives "freedom and necessity", "freedom and responsibility", "freedom and law"; to determine the relationship of the concept of freedom with related concepts will, justice, equality.
Methodology. Historical and comparative methods and critical analysis were used as a methodological basis.
Results. The problem of freedom is distinguished by its multidimensional nature, becoming entrenched both in the field of philosophy and in the field of law, while filling the conceptual "framework" of a person's personal freedom. The evolution of legal understanding has led to changes in assessments of the role and scope of individual freedom, the duties of the state to ensure the adoption and application of legal norms, when people are able to act independently, guided by their own will. Diving into the history of studying the phenomenon of freedom reveals its correlation with such concepts as "equality", "justice", "will", etc.
Conclusions. Today we are trying to restore the intrinsic value of freedom. This means that the very category of freedom requires a fairly serious analysis. This article is devoted to the analysis of this category, carried out at the junction of ethics and philosophy of law.

Relevance. As the psychopathology of religious experience developed in the second half of the 20th – early 21st century, a noticeable trend was the transition to a paradigm that orients psychiatric science toward a differentiated approach to religious-mystical experience. The change of paradigms requires the implementation of philosophical reflection through the prism of interdisciplinary interaction.
The purpose is to reveal the prerequisites and first results of the paradigm shift in psychiatric science in the field of studying religious-mystical experience.
Objectives: to explicate the disciplinary matrix of the psychiatric approach to the study of the phenomenon of religious mysticism; to demonstrate the limits of reductionism in the psychotopathological approach to religiousmystical experience; to explore the directions of integration of psychiatry of religious-mystical experience into the interdisciplinary space and the implementation of new approaches as prerequisites for paradigmatic changes in its discourse.
Methodology. When considering the approaches of representatives of psychiatric science regarding the nature and essence of religious and mystical, a comparative analysis was used. The study of the diversity of psychiatric approaches to religious and mystical experience was carried out based on the application of the principle of systematicity. The principle of historicism was used to identify the logic of the development of the psychiatric approach to mystical experiences in the space of interdisciplinary dialogue and interaction.
Results. The main directions of development of the approach of domestic and foreign psychiatric science to religious and mystical experiences are systematized. The position is substantiated that, unlike the psychology of religion, the psychiatric approach, from the very beginning of its emergence in the late 19th - early 20th centuries, adhered to the implementation of a scientific program aimed at studying these experiences as pathological phenomena (religious psychoses). Over time, there was a rejection of the complete reduction of religious and mystical experiences to madness.
Conclusions. As a result of paradigm shifts in psychiatric science, a new research program emerged that examined the array of religious-mystical experience through the prism of “normal – pathological.” Thanks to paradigm shifts, certain layers of religious-mystical experience began to be viewed as an integral part of spiritual culture and a component of mental health.

Relevance. Modern conditions of economic development and digital transformation of society necessitate a rethink of approaches to human resource management. One of the significant directions is the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in the field of recruitment and personnel management. AI has the potential to change traditional employee recruitment, evaluation, training, and retention processes, making them more efficient, objective, and adaptive. Despite the obvious potential of AI, the implementation of such solutions involves a number of challenges: ethical, legal, organizational and technological. This requires a scientific understanding, systematization and evaluation of the effectiveness of existing AI solutions, the development of methodological approaches to their integration into the personnel policy of organizations.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of artificial intelligence technologies in automating recruitment and personnel management processes.
The objectives involve conducting research in the field of using artificial intelligence technologies to automate recruitment and personnel management processes; identifying the main barriers preventing the introduction of AI tools.
Methodology. The following methods were used to solve the research problems: process-functional, methods of analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization, data systematization, methods of graphical representation.
Results. The main aspects of using AI to improve recruitment processes, identify individual training and development needs, develop personalized learning trajectories, and retain staff are highlighted. It is noted that companies have a need for automated personnel management processes to simplify administrative processes, increase productivity, speed and quality of decisions, which is possible through the introduction of AI technologies.
Conclusions. The study found that artificial intelligence technologies have significant potential to transform traditional approaches to recruitment and personnel management. An analysis of modern AI solutions used in the HR field indicates the possibility of increasing the efficiency of recruitment processes, optimizing costs, and improving the quality of candidate evaluation.

Conclusions. Currently, the infrastructural spatial system of the regions is rapidly developing. The demands on the quality and safety of transportation are growing. The requirements for increased throughput are increasing. All these factors confirm the need to use and implement new technologies. Among the main problems, it is necessary to note: the high cost of initial investments, the low cost base for the maintenance of existing equipment, and the lack of financing for the maintenance of new equipment. The state should provide financial support to the communication infrastructure spatial system of the regions.
