THE EFFECT OF TIME ZONES ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE OF THE POPULATION OF THE EAST KAZAKHSTAN REGION
Abstract
This article analyzes the effects of the official time zone (UTC+6) on the mental health of residents in East Kazakhstan. Based on surveys, interviews, and health statistics, the study identifies signs of chronobiological desynchronization, including increased anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. The misalignment between geographic location and official time is highlighted as a key factor. The study recommends a reevaluation of the current time zone and adaptation of institutional schedules to mitigate the impact.

An author should not normally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in multiple journals or publication venues. Such redundant publication is generally considered to constitute unethical publishing behavior, and if discovered may result in a manuscript under consideration being rejected, or a published article being retracted.
Authors of manuscripts reporting on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, accompanied by an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the manuscript. The manuscript should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. The fabrication of results and the making of fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and may be cause for rejection or retraction of a manuscript or published article.
