“I used to think the goal was to be loved. Now I know it’s to be understood.”
Emma Thompson
We are kind to each other
The cooking utensil to the other
cooking utensils in the drawer
The spoon to the other spoons, yes, everything
must have its place, every trace
of prey, each invisible doorway
into the kitchen
What is courage,
what is increase? It is only a
place to start
The garden is cool,
the tree’s shade
My father’s voice
I murmur a response
The washing hangs on the line
My brother’s daughter strums
a toy guitar, we have a
butternut pizza for supper
We can’t get the boys out of the angry green sea,
nor can we get them out of the jacuzzi
The white gaze lies dormant
in the shade like our brown bodies
We put a plaster on her finger
the wound is bloodless now
I make iced matcha lattes for myself and my dad
I lick the white moustache off my upper lip
Overnight I have turned into a capitalist
My fingers into stars, my legs
into a wave, the bead of the presenter’s
tongue on the television into a fig
The current moves through me
This time it’s personal
It catches the light of the fire
inside my father, inside all of us
The smell of burning meat, drumsticks
The kitchen is time and memory
Legs are tanned, burned by the sun’s time and memory
The boys and my sister play a board game
My mother screams and screams at me
The room grows quiet
A pink geranium grows out of my mother’s throat
Something within me is crushed like a pill
Slowly the sun in my mother’s eyes
turns into a mocking face, a laugh
Its poison is killing me slowly. She is just a woman
and I am just a woman
The moment passes
The child starts to laugh too because my mother is laughing
I break, I break
A wave flows into me and I lose consciousness
It’s evening
The game continues
A woman walks by the house with her dog
The dog barks
There’s a white feather in my mouth
It tastes like snow
Going

Waiting/Relapse
“Put down the pen someone else gave you. No one drafted a life worth living on borrowed ink.”
Jack Kerouac
“Today I can’t stand myself, and I will force myself to write because you’re unhappy. So, I must mask the monster within and find the landing place. I must smile because I want to see you smile. I must count the days and remain quiet in your presence, because you are not at peace. This is what I tell my mind on bad days.”
Peace is a natural attribute Which merged with love solute Invigorates life with heavenly flute Make existence enthralling for eternal absoluteness. Peace, I want every day and every middle night Peace and harmony that spray like ray of light Peace, I feel so great to live confidently on earth With happy faces I saw a single day in good health
Love has a power for unification Satiate mind for ultimate beautification Complexes modified into normal condition Pleasure takes hierarchical steps with great passion. Love me little and I will love you more forever Lovely days coming ahead let we be together In dusk and dawn we think about our future Our future blend with great saturated picture
Peace faces struggle to establish her existence Ecstasy sprouts in negativity to realize its importance The world is lived only to taste the nectar of peace Sheltered in love branches and get divine bliss. I serve you my wisdom and thought To create things with peace & harmony that, Will enrich the satisfaction of my people And never relent and end with cripples. Love is a cosy bonfire
Which invites peace in life desire Spiritual source manifested in life situation Splendid endeavour invokes heart palpitation. One house and billions of loves flying in the top sky When felt so glad and heart flabbergasting, but shy Your heart is even purer and then clean, And with everything you do, this purity is seen.
MOVE ON Forget yesterday’s pain, There is a pain in gain.
At the end of dark tunnel, There is a light as full as the moon. But sometimes walk along With Torchlight, Because it might not be a light Cheer up and move on Buckle up and goes on Not everything ends in vain.
All the predicaments shall flit. Road shall pave like a flat And it shall be bright as light With hope higher we shall flee. As life move as the sky Many thoughts I do lie Believe has gone far away from them Opportunity comes ones to them And never think will happen to them As I begin to start my journey I stay in pains early Morning
Just to make myself feel comfortable The time we have has durable
UNDO THE PAIN I come to you in pieces Since all I need is peace Peace with my soul Since my shoe sole is down to earth And so worn out beyond repair. Help me gather the pieces of my heart I wanna make it whole again Though it’s glassed I believe it can be glued Despite the visible cracks, it’ll be whole again.
All need is for you to undo the pain The pain you caused while you walked out on me
While you lead me on as I followed blindly Not knowing you’re walking me into a ditch A ditch that would leave my limbs broken like bone chops. Lift this burden, I plead, Enough of this pain, Cracked I was but now I’m shattered, Battered and broken into pieces. Before our paths crossed I was at peace, Now you turn my once peaceful life to hell, Now I live in pains and agony, I wish we never met.
Lift the great burden now and let’s part ways peacefully, Undo my pains now, tarry not and help me, Fix me now dear, my soul is getting weak, I’m getting frail and fragile. I plead with you this day, Undo this burning pain, so I can feel my limbs, Come to my aid, my soul cries for help, My all is almost drained, Put my pieces in piece and let’s dwell peacefully once again.

Abstract: This article discusses one of the most important systems in the human body — the circulatory system. It is well known that this system affects all other systems, meaning that when the circulatory system is impaired, cells do not receive sufficient nutrients, and organ functions weaken.
Introduction: The main function of the circulatory system in the human body is to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove carbon dioxide and other waste products. This process is carried out through the coordinated functioning of the heart and blood vessels. The heart acts as a central pumping organ, while blood vessels distribute blood throughout the body and return it to the heart. This complex system remains in constant motion and functions steadily throughout life.
Anatomical Structure of the Heart The heart is a four-chambered, muscular, cone-shaped organ located in the central part of the chest cavity between the right and left lungs. It consists of the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. Epicardium – the outer layer of the heart, covered by the pericardium. Myocardium – the main and thickest layer of the heart wall, responsible for contraction. Endocardium – a thin layer lining the inner surface of the heart chambers. The heart has four chambers: right and left atria, and right and left ventricles. Between the chambers are valves: mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary valves. Cardiac automatism is the ability of specialized cardiac cells to independently generate bioelectrical impulses that stimulate heart contractions.
Main Part The heart is located in the thoracic cavity, slightly shifted to the left. Two-thirds of the heart lies to the left of the midline, and one-third to the right. Laterally and partially anteriorly, the heart is adjacent to the lungs, while its front part touches the sternum and rib cartilages. Relative to the body’s midline, the heart is asymmetrically positioned: about two-thirds on the left and one-third on the right. Depending on the projection of the vertical axis, the heart may have transverse, oblique, or vertical positions.
A vertical position is more common in people with narrow and long chests, while a transverse position is more common in those with wide and short chests. In newborns, the heart is more vertical, rounded in shape, and located higher because the atria are larger and the ventricles are less developed. As a person approaches adulthood, the heart assumes its typical position.
The heart consists of four separate chambers: Left atrium (atrium sinistrum) Right atrium (atrium dextrum) Left ventricle (ventriculus sinister) Right ventricle (ventriculus dexter) Diseases of the Circulatory System
Diseases of the vascular system are widespread and are associated with structural and functional disorders of blood vessels. Arterial Diseases Atherosclerosis: Accumulation of cholesterol plaques in vessel walls, narrowing blood flow. It is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes. Arterial hypertension: Chronic elevation of blood pressure. Aneurysm: Weakening and ballooning of the arterial wall, with a high risk of rupture. Obliterating endarteritis: Inflammation and narrowing of leg arteries, often found in smokers. Venous Diseases Varicose veins: Dilation of veins due to valve dysfunction and blood stagnation. Thrombophlebitis: Inflammation of vein walls with clot formation. Phlebothrombosis (Deep vein thrombosis): Formation of clots in deep veins, which may cause pulmonary embolism.
Microcirculation and Other Disorders Vasculitis: Inflammation of vessel walls due to immune reactions. Raynaud’s syndrome: Sudden constriction of small blood vessels in fingers due to cold or stress. Lymphedema: Impaired lymph drainage leading to swelling.
Main Causes of Cardiovascular Diseases Physical inactivity (hypodynamia) Unhealthy diet (fatty and salty foods) Harmful habits (smoking and alcohol) Genetic predisposition Obesity and diabetes
Environmental Factors and Cardiovascular Health The cardiovascular system is highly sensitive to environmental factors. Research shows that air pollution, sudden temperature changes, noise, stress, and harmful habits are major contributors to heart disease.
Fine particles such as PM2.5 and PM10 can cause narrowing of blood vessels and heart rhythm disorders. Cold weather increases blood pressure, while excessive heat disrupts fluid balance and increases the risk of thrombosis. Noise and stress raise cortisol levels, leading to cardiac strain and heart failure.
The socio-economic consequences of cardiovascular diseases affect patients, families, healthcare systems, and overall quality of life. About 60% of cardiovascular complications are associated with major risk factors such as smoking, alcohol abuse, insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables, and sedentary lifestyles. These factors contribute to obesity, hypertension, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol levels. Studies conducted in Uzbekistan show that the prevalence of risk factors for non- communicable diseases is steadily increasing.

Cybersecurity: the visible consequences of an invisible war
In today’s digital age, humanity has achieved unprecedented convenience. With a single smartphone, we manage our bank accounts, access government services, work remotely, and even consult doctors. Yet behind these conveniences lies an invisible, silent, but dangerous battlefield — cyberspace. And on this battlefield, the struggle never stops.
Digital Trust in Crisis
Cybersecurity is no longer just a concern for programmers or IT specialists. It directly affects the daily lives of every citizen. A weak password, clicking on an unknown link, or carelessly sharing personal information can lead to serious consequences.
Globally, cybercrime is becoming increasingly sophisticated. It is no secret that hacker groups have brought even large corporations to their knees. For example, in 2017, the WannaCry virus shook the world by crippling the systems of thousands of organizations across hundreds of countries. This incident clearly demonstrated how costly negligence in cybersecurity can be.
Cyberwars: a new geopolitical front
Today, competition between states is no longer confined to land, water, or air — it also unfolds in virtual space. Cyberattacks have become tools of political pressure and weapons of economic sabotage.
For instance, the Stuxnet computer worm, discovered in 2010, entered history as one of the first large-scale cyberweapons targeting industrial infrastructure. It proved that a single command typed behind a keyboard can paralyze a factory, a power plant, or even an entire system in the real world.
This raises a simple yet profound question: if no war is officially declared, yet the electricity goes out, banking systems collapse, or data is stolen — what does that signify?
Social Media and Information Security
Cybersecurity is not only a technical issue. It is closely linked to information security. Fake news, manipulation, and data breaches influence public consciousness.
On social media, a single false report can reach millions of users within hours. As a result, trust erodes and social tension rises. Therefore, cybersecurity is not only about protecting servers — it is also about protecting society.
Uzbekistan and the Responsibility of a Digital Future
The digitalization process is rapidly advancing in Uzbekistan as well. E-government services, online payments, and distance learning systems are expanding. This elevates cybersecurity to the level of national security.
Today, from school students to entrepreneurs, everyone must know basic cyber hygiene principles:
Use strong and complex passwords
Enable two-factor authentication
Be cautious of suspicious links and files
Regularly update software and systems
Without a culture of cybersecurity, technological progress itself may become a source of risk.
Conclusion: The Choice Is Ours
Cyberspace is a field of opportunity. But with opportunities come risks. Carelessness in the digital world can cause real-life problems.
So the question is simple: do we use technology consciously, or do we become completely dependent on it?
Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue — it is a matter of collective awareness, culture, and responsibility in modern society. The invisible war has already begun. Victory in it depends on the awareness and responsibility of each of us.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION
Abstract
This article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the essence and content of pedagogical competence in the teaching profession, its structural components, and its role in ensuring the effectiveness of the educational process. It also highlights the factors influencing the formation and development of pedagogical competence. According to the research findings, pedagogical competence is substantiated as a key factor that ensures a teacher’s professional success and the quality of education.
Keywords: pedagogical competence, professional competence, teacher mastery, quality of education, methodological training, communicative competence.
Introduction
The reforms being implemented in the modern education system are placing new demands on the professional activities of teachers. Globalization, the development of digital technologies, and the introduction of a competency-based approach into the education system require teachers to possess a high level of pedagogical competence. This is because the quality of education directly depends on the professional training and mastery of the teacher [1]. In scientific literature, the concept of pedagogical competence is interpreted as an integrative unity of a teacher’s professional knowledge, skills, personal qualities, and the ability to effectively organize pedagogical activity [2].
Theoretical Foundations of Pedagogical Competence
The concept of “competence” originates from the Latin word competens, meaning “appropriate” or “capable.” In scientific sources, competence is explained as an individual’s readiness and ability to effectively carry out a specific activity [3]. Pedagogical competence represents a set of professional qualities that enable a teacher to scientifically organize and manage the educational process and achieve effective outcomes.
A.K. Markova defines pedagogical competence as the harmony of a teacher’s professional knowledge, pedagogical thinking, reflection, and personal position [4]. Likewise, in the works of Sh.A. Amonashvili and V.A. Slastenin, pedagogical competence is interpreted in connection with the teacher’s ability to implement a personality-oriented approach [5].
Components of Pedagogical Competence
Professional (subject) competence — possession of deep theoretical and practical knowledge in the subject being taught.
Methodological competence — ability to apply modern pedagogical technologies and methods.
Psychological-pedagogical competence — consideration of students’ age and individual characteristics.
Communicative competence — ability to establish effective communication and pedagogical cooperation.
Information and communication competence — rational use of digital technologies.
The Role of Pedagogical Competence in Education Quality and Social Development
The quality of education is closely linked to the professional mastery of the teacher. A competent teacher develops students’ independent thinking, applies innovative methods in the educational process, increases student motivation, and implements personality-oriented education. Therefore, pedagogical competence is not only an individual professional quality but also an important factor in shaping the intellectual potential of society [7].
Factors in Developing Pedagogical Competence
Continuous professional education and advanced training;
Participation in research activities;
Pedagogical reflection and self-analysis;
Studying innovative experiences and implementing them in practice.
Conclusion
Pedagogical competence is an integral and priority component of the teaching profession. It ensures the effectiveness of the educational process, contributes to the personal and intellectual development of students, and serves as an important factor in the sustainable development of society. Therefore, in the modern education system, the formation and development of pedagogical competence must be recognized as one of the priority tasks.
