Elam’s Bow
Elam’s bow is broken,
God knows what’s next to come,
Other wars will follow.
Hate is a raging fire,
With never ending fuel,
It burns here,
Flares up there,
Never fully quenched.
Hate is a dead man walking,
Love is a river of life.
Forsake the tomb,
Quench the fire,
Eat from the tree of life.

Abstract; Inadequate integration of Logistics Information Systems, outdated infrastructure, slow introduction of digital technologies and automation in transportation processes, disruptions in supply chains and increasing transport and logistics costs.
Also, climate change, increased environmental demands and increased energy resources have a direct impact on logistic activities.
In this article, the issue of digitization of services performed by logistic technologies is considered.
Keywords: logistics technology, Transport technology, Time-based logistics (exact time scale logistics), Value added logistics (value added logistics), Virtual logistics (virtual logistics), e-logistics (electronic logistics).
Introduction; the growing interest in modern logistic technologies is determined by the effectiveness of the approach in terms of providing transport services to systems and passengers engaged in material flows and organizing service activities on the basis of modern logistic technologies. At this point, it is necessary to emphasize the relevance of logistics in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the extreme importance of issues of its further development and integration into international levels.
Table 1.
Signs of relevance of logistics for enterprises of the Republic of Uzbekistan
| Sign of relevance | Character description |
| High cost of producing and selling local products | According to various assessments, they are 2-8 times higher than the world level, in most cases, production technologies do not correspond to the requirements of the Times |
| Periodic lag of the service sector behind the manufacturing sector | • manual labor in trade is equal to 70% ;• the level of mechanization of increase-drop work is 20-30%• • length of time from receiving an order for transportation to its completion |
| Lack of a well-thought-out strategy for developing a product distribution system, the presence of numerous intermediary structures | * intermediaries, generating transactional costs 2-2. 5 times higher than the initial cost of the product;• underdevelopment of centralized distribution systems by region |
| Lack of organized large and medium-sized wholesale markets | The number of wholesale intermediaries in Uzbekistan is 0.05 Enterprises per 1 thousand people, for comparison, in the United States this figure is 1.9, and in Japan-3.4 |
| Low level of development of modern information and electronic communication tools | Low or no internet connectivity in remote areas of the republic, lack of or high cost of satellite tracking devices |
| Transport infrastructure backlog | • The average daily rate of delivery of products in Uzbekistan is 5-6 times lower, and the share of products delivered through terminals is 5-10 times lower;* the average carrying capacity of the main highway is 15 in Uzbekistan t.ga equal, in the USA, France, Sweden, this figure is 25-30t.ni organizes |
| High level of wear and tear of transport vehicles and infrastructure facilities | • more than 1/3 of highways do not meet modern requirements;• more than 90% of vehicles employed in international freight transport do not meet European environmental standards |
| Low level of development of the production and technical base of warehouse management | * the area of ¼ part of the warehouses is less than 500 m2;• 12 percent of warehouses have 2/3 of the total warehouse space;• about 30% of the main funds of the warehouse farm are physically and spiritually outdated |
| Poor development of the industry for the production of modern packaging types | Due to insufficient supply of packaging materials and their poor quality, up to 40 percent of fruits and vegetables are lost every year. |
| Lack of highly qualified personnel working at international levels in logistics technologies | low quality of education compared to global standards, insufficient development of foreign language communication skills of specialists in remote regions of the republic |
These issues are the most pressing ones in their place. As a solution to the problems, such a priority issue as the application of modern logistic technologies in all areas, the development of the transport sector through the digitization of the economy, the radical reform of the personnel training system is laid.
Special attention is paid to digitization measures in order to further develop transport activities in Uzbekistan, increase its prestige in the international services market.
A digital economy is not some kind of different economy that must be created from scratch. This means moving the existing economy into a new system by creating new technologies, platforms and business models and introducing them into everyday life.
Signs of the digital economy:
• high degree of automation;
* Electronic Document Exchange;
* electronic integration of accounting and management systems;
* databases;
* Availability of CRM (customer interaction system;
* corporate networks.
The comforts of the digital economy:
1. Costs for payments are reduced (for example, a trip to the bank and other resources are saved).
2. More and faster information about goods and services is obtained.
3. The opportunities for goods and services in the digital world to enter the world market are great.
4. Due to the rapid acquisition of Fidbek (consumer opinion), goods and services are rapidly improved.
5. Costs for payments are reduced.
Table 2
Description of the “traditional” and modern supply chain
| Chain description | ” Traditional ” chain | Modern chain |
| Description of management decisions | Each of the participants of the chain receives within their personal interests | Focus is adopted by the company in order to increase the competitiveness of a whole chain |
| Inventory management | The individual interests of each participant are taken into account. | The entire chain is coordinated by a management entity. |
| Executable functions | Each participant’s specialization and interests are determined. | It can be redistributed among participants based on the overall task of the supply chain. |
| Costs | Each participant minimizes their own interest. | The maximum competitiveness in the last round is distributed among the participants. |
| Information | Each participant is monitored individually. | Only focus is possible for the company. |
| Risk | Focused on individual enterprises | The chain is distributed among the participants. |
| Planning | It is carried out within individual enterprises, mainly based on a strict planning scheme. | For all links in the chain, in most cases, the “rapid targeting” scheme is used. |
| Cooperation between participants | Focused on achieving their own goals by individual businesses | The final link is set to meet the interests of the supply chain. |
Conclusion
In the conditions of today’s global economic development, logistics technologies are taking the field as one of the main factors determining the effectiveness of logistics systems. However, there are also a number of pressing problems in this process: inadequate integration of Logistics Information Systems, outdated infrastructure, slow introduction of digital technologies and automation in transportation processes, disruptions in supply chains and increasing transport and logistics costs.
Also, climate change, increased environmental demands and increased energy resources have a direct impact on logistic activities.
As a solution to these problems, the following measures are important: implementation of digital logistics systems and their integration into a single information space; the use of systems based on modern technologies, including E-logistics, SCM, AI and IoT; ensuring environmental safety by implementing green logistics (Green Logistics) approaches; improving efficiency in cargo transportation through the development of multimodal transport technologies.
Thus, only when modern logistic problems are solved on the basis of a comprehensive approach and innovative technologies, the logistics system achieves high competitiveness and stability.

水心詩篇
言葉がささやく
スコールの音に混じって、
タイ語が空気を切り裂く前に
既にそこに存在している、と。
市場のドリアンの香りを超えて、
言葉は染みついた足跡を残していく。
言葉がささやく
聞け、雨宿りの軒下で、と。
ここにあったものは
オーブン並みの暑さの残響だ。
静寂を得よ、
托鉢の時間に静かにあれ。
言葉を受け取り、「サワディー・クラップ」と言ってみよ。
言葉を超えて、言葉はひとつの傷
そこからチャオプラヤーが流れ続ける。
言葉がささやく
アロイ、マイ・アロイ、アロイ、 マイ・アロイ。
言葉がささやく
ナムチャイ。
言葉がささやく
来て、一緒に話そう、 触れ合おう、来て。
言葉がささやく
「プート・タイ・マイ・ダイ」と。
2.ここにも
スントーンプーに捧げる
この胸の奥で震えるものは何なのか、
あなたという名前のない存在に
どのような言葉を捧げればよいのか？
タイの夕暮れ、甘い喜びの記憶
マンゴスチンの香りが風に舞い
エメラルドの海が永遠を歌う――
かすかな霊的な予感が
蝶のように心に舞い降りて
あなたの面影の前で
私は静寂の祈りとなる。
私の瞳に映る黄昏の光
唇に残る塩の味わい
股間に宿る生命の熱
手のひらに宿る大地の温もり…
そして心は、愛しい人よ
心はどこに隠れているのか？
ここにも、そこにも、あそこにも
あなたの存在が波紋のように広がり
すべての場所に、すべての瞬間に
あなたの唇の記憶が
やわらかく触れてくる。
バンコクの朝の詩篇（スコールの祝福）
i) 既にここに
朝、そしてバンコクは 既にここにある。
私たちは一緒に到着した アソーク駅に
日本の少女たち
その名は「ナムチャイ」と「カムホーン」。
ii) スコールの歌
疲れることなく
朝の混沌を讃え、
スコールの音が
都市の眠りを引き裂く
天然のエアコンの祝福として。
iii) ただ
ただ菩提樹のたてがみが
光と闇の間に引かれた線をぼかす
ただ心がその境界を曖昧にする
マンゴスチンとドリアンの間を。
iv) 顔
静かで熱い風が肌を撫で、
夜明けの光が葉に優しく横たわる
バンコクは
ゆっくりと、目覚めていく。
至る所で
人々の姿が現れる。
v) 通して
窓辺のバナナの木、
ノート、ペン、光の火花。
花と緑のカーテンを通して、
トゥクトゥクの音、
街の人々の「アロイ！」という声。
1. Whispers of Words (Resonance with the Squall)
Words whisper—
blending into the sound of the squall,
already existing
before Thai slices through the air.
Beyond the durian scent of the market,
words leave behind a trace,
a stain of footsteps.
Words whisper—
“Listen, beneath the eaves of shelter.”
What was here
was the lingering echo
of oven-like heat.
Seek silence,
be still at the hour of alms.
Receive the word and try saying:
“Sawasdee krap.”
Beyond words,
words are a wound
from which the Chao Phraya keeps flowing.
Words whisper—
“Aroi, mai aroi, aroi, mai aroi.”
Words whisper—
“Namjai.”
Words whisper—
“Come, let’s speak,
let’s touch,
come.”
Words whisper—
“Puut Thai mai dai.”

2. Here, Too
*Dedicated to Sunthorn Phu*
What trembles deep within this chest—
what words can I offer
to your nameless presence?
A Thai twilight,
memories of sweet joy.
The scent of mangosteen dances in the wind,
an emerald sea sings of forever—
A faint spiritual premonition
descends like a butterfly into my heart.
Before the trace of you,
I become a prayer of silence.
The twilight reflected in my eyes,
the taste of salt lingering on my lips,
the heat of life dwelling at my loins,
the warmth of earth resting in my palms…
And still, my heart—
my dear,
where does the heart hide?
Here, there, and beyond,
your presence ripples out like rings on water.
In every place, in every moment,
the memory of your lips
gently touches me.

**Morning Psalms of Bangkok (Blessings of the Squall)**
i) Already Here
Morning—
and Bangkok is already here.
We arrived together
at Asoke Station.
Two Japanese girls:
Namjai and Khamhon by name.
—
ii) Song of the Squall
Tirelessly,
it praises the morning’s chaos—
the squall’s sound
tears through the city’s sleep
as a blessing,
nature’s air conditioner.
—
iii)Simply
Simply,
the mane of the bodhi tree
softens the line between light and shadow.
Simply,
the heart blurs the boundary
between mangosteen and durian.
—
iv) Faces
A quiet, hot wind brushes the skin.
Dawn’s light gently lies on the leaves.
Bangkok
slowly,
begins to awaken.
Everywhere—
faces begin to appear.
v) Through
By the window,
a banana tree,
a notebook, a pen,
and sparks of light.
Through curtains
of flowers and green,
the sound of tuk-tuks,
and voices in the street
shouting, “Aroi!”
My Mother, My Mother…
My mother, my mother — my paradise,
My dearest one, my precious prize.
You are my greatest strength and grace,
My flower, my blossom — my warm embrace.
You are the one, my only guide,
With endless love you’re by my side.
Your face — a glimpse of heaven’s light,
Your words — they make my world so bright.
My mother, my mother, may smiles stay,
May joy surround you every day.
Your prayers — my shield, my dawn,
My mother, my mother — my forever sun!

A TRUE FRIEND – THE MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE IN THE HEART
Shomurotova Sevinchoy

4th-year student
Who is a friend? Every person thinks about this question at least once in their lifetime. For some, a friend is a companion in joy; for others – a shoulder in sorrow. In fact, friendship is an invisible yet strong bond between two hearts. This bond is not tied by interest, but by loyalty, trust, and affection.
Every person meets many acquaintances, peers, and colleagues throughout life. But not all of them can be called friends. Because friendship is a feeling that finds its way from heart to heart and is strengthened by loyalty, trust, and love. The value of friendship becomes especially clear in difficult times and during trials. A true friend cannot be bought with money – such a friend is found only through life’s challenges. A true friend is one of the rarest and most priceless gifts Allah grants to the human heart.
I can proudly say: I too have such a priceless gift – a true friend! Along with granting me the blessing of studying at a higher education institution, Allah also placed in my path a faithful, sincere, kind-hearted friend who is close to my heart. Throughout my life, I have met many people who claimed to be “friends.” Unfortunately, among them were many who wore the mask of friendship only for their own benefit – they were near in times of joy, but far away in sorrow. They stayed with me only until they reached their own goals and then moved on with their lives. However, when my student life began, a new chapter opened for me – in that chapter, I understood the true meaning of genuine friendship. Being a friend does not only mean walking beside someone – it means living in their heart, leaving a sincere and lasting mark on their soul. No matter how many definitions I give, it still doesn’t seem enough – because my dear friend Gulshoda is worthy of each and every one of them.
Gulshoda is one of the greatest blessings Allah has given me. She has always been by my side in any situation – rejoicing in my happiness, sharing in my sorrow, and even being happier than me in my successes. Every day spent with her is one of the brightest pages in my life. Always reminding me of Allah, bringing light into my heart, lifting my spirit with patience and faith in every difficult moment – this is my advisor, my beloved, my kind support: Gulshoda. She is not just a friend – she is Allah’s mercy gifted to me, one of the most beautiful human feelings that fills my heart.
True friendship is the greatest blessing and the biggest treasure in life. Such a friend doesn’t always have to be physically near – they live in your heart and are present in your prayers. If a person finds even one true friend in their lifetime, they are indeed very fortunate. And I consider myself one of those lucky people – because Allah gifted me with a friend like Gulshoda. I will cherish this friendship in my heart with love until the end of my life.
Stay healthy and happy always, my dear person – Gulshoda!
