The article analyzes the current state of small and medium-sized businesses in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author reveals the essence of business through the prism of public administration and defines its role in the economy of Kazakhstan. As a result of the study, the features and systemic problems in the functioning of small and mediumsized businesses in the Republic of Kazakhstan were studied. When analyzing the current state and development of SMEs in the Republic, the method of collecting information and, in part, the method of abstraction were used for effective search, grouping, processing and generalization of the necessary material. The study of the economic dynamics of indicators by means of a comparative method to establish cause –and-effect relationships and identify systemic problems of state regulation and development of small business. Through the application of appropriate general and private economic methods, promising directions for further development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Republic of Kazakhstan were developed, which include: improving the strategy and tactics of interaction between representatives of SME and the authorities; improving legislation (tax, financial and innovation) in the field of SME support; improving mechanisms that ensure access to financial resources for SME; creation of Centers financed by state for the training specialized personnel and intensification of the development of modern forms of business integration.

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to elaborate on the metaphysical distinction between ideal signs and physical signs in terms of the method of abstraction. Ideal signs are derived from physical signs by eliminating certain kinds of properties as theoretically superfluous. Ideal signs are claimed to be instructions that prescribe how physical signs are to be produced in their graphic form, acoustic form or any other suitable form. It is examined which level of abstraction is permitted in the case of ideal signs, i.e., which properties can be eliminated while admitting that the resulting abstract object can be still considered a sign. It is argued that one cannot eliminate the properties that are connected with the syntactic and semantic aspects of signs.

The basic objective of this research is to explore the contribution of development of motorway networks to minimization of accident costs. Results of the study are based on Croatian experience. The possibility of a statistically negative correlation between gradation in the total motorway length and traffic accident costs will be investigated through observation of variations in the total length of motorway and the number and type of accidents that occured. Different scientific methods were applied in the research, including the method of induction and deduction, the method of abstraction and the method of correlation and regression analysis. The resulting knowlegde may be of help to traffic authorities, both on micro and macro levels.

The article discusses three ways of applying the method of abstraction in philosophical research. The first is related to classical philosophy and Aristotle’s method, the second to early modern philosophy referring to mathematics and natural sciences as a model, and the third one to broadly understood transcen-dental philosophy, using a specific type of insight into the structure of the subject.

Introduction. The article considers the Agile methodology, its conceptual principless and studies the main accounting aspects of its implementation in realizing the projects of software development. Purpose. The aim of the research consists in studying accounting and control within the framework of Agile-methodology. Method (methodology). The methodological basis of the study is a set of general and specific methods of knowledge of economic phenomena on the basis of systematic approach. In order to ground theoretical and methodological approaches to accounting and analysis of processes which are associated with the formation of production costs we have used method of induction and deduction, method of analysis and synthesis, method of abstraction and analogy. Results. The article analyzes the popularity of practical use of Agile approach and determines the advantages from its use as well as defines the accounting related problems. The ways of eliminating the complications of using the flexible approach in project management in financial accounting are defined.

The paper deals with the issues of control of court experts in civil proceedings by the court as well as the question of how much the civil court really manages the expertise. The analysis of the judicatures points to practical problems arising from expertise in civil proceedings, in parallel detecting the reasons for such problems in expert proceedings both in the Republic of Croatia and in the European Union. Individual characteristic cases from practice are the subject of qualitative research because the intention of the analysis was twofold. On the one hand, identify concrete examples of unethical behaviour, and on the other hand, use the method of abstraction and indicative method of establishing facts to point out to systematic gaps that may pose a risk of unethical behaviour in the justice sector, regardless of existing mechanisms to strengthen judicial integrity. For the purpose of the analysis, telephone interviews were conducted among judges, lawyers and court experts. The conducted interviews of targeted respondents serve to further verify the credibility of the results of this analysis. The collected data indicate practical problems in the implementation of certain legal solutions. The perspective of the interviewed interlocutors is based on the knowledge and experience gained in practice, which is certainly an important factor in assessing the improvement, but also the degree of optimization of the existing legal framework of the subject-matter complex of problems.

In this article, the authors consider the modern legislation system on consumer crediting. The authors dwell on the problems of the correlation of certain legal acts in this sphere and focus on the Federal Law "On Consumer Credit (Loan)". Also they note the role of departmental and local acts regulating consumer crediting. The authors state the idea that the special mechanism for the implementation of the rights of borrowers, laid by the legislator, contains additional duties and restrictions for banks and other credit organizations that sell credit products to citizens, as much as is necessary to protect public interests. Such regulation of the legal status of borrowers correlates with the general ideas about the convergence of private and public law. Establishing a special legal status of the consumer citizen, the legislator reflects the interests of citizens, the interests of their counterparties, as well as public interests related to the need to ensure balanced interests of the individual, society and the state. In the process of research, the authors used analytical, formal-legal methods, the method of abstraction, which allowed to formulate conclusions on the conducted research. The authors come to the conclusion that the legislation on consumer crediting is designed not only to protect the rights of a particular borrower, but also to ensure the stability of banking relations, avoiding abuses both on the part of borrowers and banks. At the same time, the legislation on consumer creditng is oriented not only to perform protective functions, but also regulatory.

Advances in science and technology have made many human activities easier. Such as convenience in transportation, communication, industry, and security. However, it cannot be denied that many negative impacts are also caused by science and technology, including the environment. The problem that originally wanted to be solved by science and technology turned out to be even more complicated. This study will examine how the characteristics and implications of modern Western science on the environment in a Theological review. This research uses the method of abstraction, holistica, and hermeneutical circles. characteristics of modern Western science are based on rationalists, empiricists, and anthropocentric. So that it has bad implications for the environment, the pattern of human interaction with the environment becomes destructive and exploitative of nature.

When designing the database structure oriented to the contents of indicators presented in the documents and communications subject area. First, the method of abstraction is applied by expansion of the indices of new, artificially constructed abstract concepts. The use of abstract concepts allows to avoid registration of relations many-to-many. For this reason, when built using abstract concepts, demonstrate greater stability in the processes. The example abstract concepts to address structure – a unique house number. Second, the method of abstraction can be used in the transformation of concepts by omitting some attributes that are unnecessary for solving certain classes of problems. Data processing associated with the amended concepts is more simple without losing the possibility of solving the considered classes of problems. For example, the concept "street" loses the binding to the land. The content of the modified concept of "street" are only the relations of the houses to the declared name. For most accounting tasks and ensure communication is enough.
