The increasing prices of energy and the drive to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere observed in the recent years have contributed to the intensive development of research on how to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. The confirmations of the current trends are the formal and legal regulations of the European Union that require the buildings to be passive and “zero-energy” in the near future. The introduction of new elements helping one to save energy in the structure of a building requires their formal verification and the confirmation of their safety, effectiveness, and parameters crucial from the point of their application in residential buildings and offices. The authors present an original prototype of an innovative device and a methodology of conducting studies on air-handling units with heat recuperation used in passive and energy-saving buildings. They also discuss the structure and the modus operandi of the system that reconstructs the actual operating conditions of a tested object. The system was used for tests on the tightness of several air-handling units, which also aimed at the verification of their thermal efficiency and the effectiveness of the recuperation of humidity. Air-handling unit tests came from different manufacturers, and they all had the function of heat recuperation. The authors present the results of their investigations that enabled the assessment of the safety of the objects tested, and they also facilitated the comparison of their performance parameters deciding on the energy effect. The tests also formed the foundation for the verification of the developed research system.

Games For Learning

Persuasive games are an interdisciplinary area covering a range of fields. This article examines persuasive games through current trends in research as potential agents of social action. The implications of persuasive games for learning are analyzed through education and communication theories, suggesting that persuasive techniques are of primary importance and that procedures and ethos connect learners to experiences. The article first provides a historical overview of persuasive games, highlighting key background and influences. It then defines persuasive games through learning and communication theories, and discusses the implications of persuasive games as social action agents in research, policy, and practice.

The purpose of the study based on the analysis of current trends in the development of housing construction and the assessment of the role of the state in this process, to identify existing problems and propose promising ways to solve them in the Republic of Kazakhstan.Methodology. The article uses such research methods as comparison, generalization, analysis and synthesis, modeling (making a trend forecast).Originality / value of the research. The results of the assessment of the development of the housing market in the Republic of Kazakhstan over the past 18 years allowed us to identify current limitations and problems in its development, including on the basis of the forecast of the development of the housing market until 2025 in order to develop appropriate recommendations for their solution.Findings. According to the results of the study, the process of housing construction development from 2003 to 2020 in Kazakhstan was carried out mainly thanks to state financial support. The results of the trend analysis for the period from 2020 to 2025 showed that the peak of commissioning of residential buildings put into operation will be observed in 2023, and housing prices will increase. In this regard, the authors have proposed recommendations for solving such problems as reducing the level of corruption in the system of distribution of tender purchases, in the process of adoption and commissioning of the housing stock, as well as in the distribution of housing, the closedness of general plans of settlements to the population, insufficient quality of housing and others.

Chimneys are structures designed to convey exhaust gases from heating devices to the outside of buildings. The materials from which they are made have a great impact on their fire safety, as well as on the safety of the whole building. As current trends in the construction industry are moving towards improving the environmental impact and fire safety, changes to building materials are constantly being introduced. This also applies to the development of chimney technology, as there is still a recognised need for new solutions when it comes to materials used in the production of chimney systems. This article presents the findings of tests carried out on a chimney made from innovative perlite concrete blocks. Four different perlite concrete blocks that differed in bulk densities were analysed. The obtained results were then compared with widely used leca (lightweight expanded clay aggregate) concrete blocks. The test results confirmed high insulation properties of the perlite concrete block, from which the innovative chimney casing was made. The fire safety level was maintained even in high temperatures that occur during soot fire (1000 °C). These properties were retained despite there being no additional insulation of the flue duct. Even though the thermal load decreased the compressive strength of the chimney blocks, they still displayed sufficient average strength of 4.03 MPa. Additionally, the test results confirmed the possibility of recovering heat from the chimney with the efficiency of 23–30%, which constitutes a considerable increase compared to chimneys made from leca concrete blocks.

Criminal Legislation

The article analyzes the criminal legislation in terms of regulating the imposition of punishment in the form of forced labor as an alternative to imprisonment for a certain period. A brief historical overview is presented, illustrating the initial ambiguity of the legislative approach to the introduction of this punishment. The article considers the imperfect procedure for assigning forced labor, which deprives it of independence and presentability and hinders its practical application. In view of the current trends in liberalizing sentencing, that do not involve isolation from society, forced labor needs to be clarified in order to expand its use. In addition, the text introduces problems associated with the re-profiling of correctional institutions that function as correctional centers, located near correctional colonies where convicts serve their sentences. The authors suppose this situation may cause the emergence of criminal groups, and it will not fully contribute to the goals of correction. The paper reveals formal approach of the legislator to the reform of the penal system in terms of introducing alternative punishments to imprisonment, which does not meet modern realities and expectations of the society.

the article presents modern foreign and domestic trends in architectural-spatial and functional-planning solutions for economy-class apartments and the prospects for the development of typical design in Russia. It is becoming increasingly clear that mass construction in Russia does not require significant development since Soviet times, when construction should be carried out for the sole purpose of providing citizens with affordable housing with minimally acceptable parameters in shortened terms. The most significant differences of modern Russian housing from foreign is the reduced range of functional premises and smaller areas. The modern consumer has other ideas about comfortable living. In addition, modern domestic and foreign experts in the field of architecture and construction confirm the need for an innovative approach to the design of urban buildings. It is assumed, that the use of existing trends in the housing project will significantly increase the level of comfort of apartments without a significant increase in the cost per square meter. Comparison of domestic and foreign experience in the construction of residential buildings brought a number of common features and significant differences, which are analyzed in the article. They include: the tendency to individual design, the tendency to a change in living space, the tendency of vertical functional zoning, the tendency of zoning, the trend of expanding the functional-planning composition of the standard layout of ancillary rooms, sanitary and household zones.
