Abstract: This paper examines the role of common nouns and verbs in everyday spoken English and Uzbek, focusing on their fundamental importance in sentence construction and communication. As the core parts of speech, nouns and verbs enable speakers to identify objects, express actions, and convey essential meanings in daily interaction. The study analyzes usage patterns, semantic similarities, and structural differences between the two languages, highlighting how high-frequency lexical items function in real-life contexts. Particular attention is given to grammatical features such as tense, aspect, and affixation, as well as the impact of word order and morphology on meaning. By comparing simple, context-rich examples, the paper reveals both universal linguistic features and language-specific tendencies shaped by cultural and typological factors. The findings are especially relevant for beginner-level learners and educators, offering insights into effective vocabulary instruction and the benefits of contrastive analysis. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how basic lexical elements facilitate meaningful cross-linguistic communication.
Language serves as the foundation of human communication, providing the primary means through which individuals share thoughts, express emotions, and navigate daily life. Across cultures and linguistic systems, two of the most essential grammatical categories—nouns and verbs—form the core of nearly every utterance. Nouns function as labels for people, objects, places, and abstract concepts (e.g., teacher- ustoz, phone- telefon, freedom-erkinlik), while verbs convey actions, states, and processes (e.g., run-yugurmoq, be-bo‘lmoq, learn-o‘rganmoq). The presence and correct usage of these parts of speech are indispensable for both basic and complex communication, serving as the backbone of sentence construction and meaning-making.
This paper investigates the usage of common nouns and verbs in English and Uzbek, highlighting their roles in everyday speech and exploring both similarities and differences between the two languages. The comparative analysis focuses on lexical frequency, syntactic positioning, morphological structure, and semantic functions. For instance, while English often relies on fixed word order and auxiliary verbs to convey tense and aspect, Uzbek employs agglutinative morphology and flexible word order that allows for greater variation in sentence structure. Similarly, pluralization and definiteness in nouns are marked differently across the two languages—English using articles and suffixes, Uzbek primarily using suffixes and contextual cues.
The study also considers how cultural context influences lexical usage. Certain everyday nouns and verbs in Uzbek may reflect specific cultural practices, values, or social norms that differ from those in English-speaking contexts. Understanding these language-specific tendencies, alongside universal features, is particularly beneficial for beginner-level learners and teachers engaged in cross-linguistic instruction. Through the analysis of simple, high-frequency examples in real-life contexts—such as greetings, instructions, or descriptions of routine activities—the paper emphasizes the importance of teaching core vocabulary with attention to both form and function.
Ultimately, the study contributes to a broader understanding of how foundational linguistic elements operate in typologically distinct languages and underscores the pedagogical value of contrastive analysis in language education. By deepening awareness of both shared and unique aspects of English and Uzbek nouns and verbs, educators can enhance curriculum design and support more effective language acquisition for learners at early stages.
In everyday communication, high-frequency nouns and verbs play a central role in enabling speakers to convey essential information efficiently and meaningfully. Nouns related to core domains of human experience such as family, education, home, and social relationships—are among the most frequently used lexical items in both English and Uzbek. For example, English nouns like mother, school, home, and friend correspond to ona, maktab, uy, and do‘st in Uzbek. These words are not only linguistically fundamental but also culturally significant, reflecting shared values and social priorities within each linguistic community. Their high frequency across daily interactions highlights their importance in early language acquisition and vocabulary instruction.
Similarly, verbs that describe routine physical and communicative actions form the foundation of basic sentence construction for language learners. Action verbs such as go, eat, sleep, and speak-rendered in Uzbek as borish, yemoq, uxlamoq, and gapirmoq-are integral to expressing everyday experiences. Sentences like “I go to school” (Men maktabga boraman) or “She eats lunch” (U tushlik yeydi) illustrate how verbs serve to structure temporal and situational narratives in both languages.
A key structural distinction between English and Uzbek lies in their syntactic patterns. English follows a Subject–Verb–Object (SVO) word order, whereas Uzbek typically adheres to a Subject–Object–Verb (SOV) structure. For instance, the English sentence He reads a book corresponds to U kitob o‘qiydi in Uzbek. This typological difference has implications for second language acquisition, translation, and sentence processing. Learners must internalize not only vocabulary but also the syntactic sequencing that governs how ideas are expressed in each language.
Despite these structural contrasts, the communicative function of nouns and verbs remains universally consistent. Both English and Uzbek rely on these lexical categories to identify participants and describe actions, thereby constructing meaning and facilitating interaction. Understanding the parallels and divergences in their use provides valuable insight into language structure, cognitive processing, and instructional methodology. For language educators, emphasizing frequent and functional vocabulary within contextualized practice is crucial to fostering communicative competence, especially for beginner learners navigating between typologically distinct languages.
Vocabulary reflects cultural values. In Uzbek, terms for family members are more varied and culturally emphasized, which shows the importance of kinship. English, on the other hand, often includes action- and object-oriented vocabulary in its most frequent words. The common use of nouns like job, car, and money, or verbs like work and make, may reflect cultural focuses on independence and productivity. Recognizing such nuances helps learners understand not only the language but the culture it represents.
Common nouns and verbs represent the core linguistic elements that underpin everyday speech and communication in both English and Uzbek. As primary building blocks of grammar and meaning, these lexical categories enable speakers to express identity, action, and intention with clarity and precision. Their high frequency in daily interactions underscores their functional importance, particularly in the early stages of language learning.
A comparative understanding of how nouns and verbs operate across these two typologically distinct languages is crucial not only for learners but also for educators and translators. While English and Uzbek share certain universal features—such as the central role of these parts of speech in sentence construction—they differ significantly in syntactic structure, morphological patterns, and context-dependent usage. Recognizing these similarities and differences enhances cross-linguistic awareness and supports more effective instructional strategies.
Mastery of common nouns and verbs thus serves as a foundational step in acquiring communicative competence. It facilitates smoother interpersonal exchanges and provides a solid platform for the development of more advanced linguistic skills and intercultural understanding.

THE ALTLERNATE UNIVERSE: FABULATING AI IN A PROPHETIC ROLE
Dr. Jernail S. Anand
The science fiction with regard to use of AI is rife in the modern period, but it has to be seen if it can transcend its own borders and enter the field of spirituality.
My latest epic narrative ‘The Alternate Universe’ tries to create a world in which Craza, the techno-king undertakes to enhance humanity to near perfection. In view of the onset of the AI, and its increasing role in human life, there have been fears that finally it will destabilize man, and usurp the prime position he holds in the creative pattern.
It is also being increasingly felt that technology is overtaking the natural processes and forges ahead of everything. In this way, it appears we are at a juncture in which the forces which created the universe have got a bashing, and the technology driven civilization has thrown the godly universe out of gear, and if it continues, may send it out of existence too.
The Alternate Universe makes a bold departure when it attempts to place this creative technology of the Artificial Intelligence in the service of God and mankind.
THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
In the world created by God, mankind was expected to grow in human capabilities. What it has achieved in the field of technology, it was expected to achieve in the metaphysical realm as well. But mankind has sorely failed in toning up man’s spiritual being.
Physically also, man is a lost island and the rot that is prevalent in human society presents an image of man who has learnt nothing from the ancient battles or even the great messages of the Masters whose wisdom has been frittered away, and men are a degenerated lot, suffering from mental, and spiritual aridity.
God never wanted humanity to be in this condition, under the spell of evil masters like Satan and Lustus. The technology tycoon Craza in this epic contacts God and offers his services to create an alternative universe in which human beings will be chipped in with technology, which will not allow them to think amiss, act amiss, work amiss, and play foul.
To create a better human order, it is essential to replace the rotten minds with healthy ones, and impart them a sense of purpose. Craza tells Brahma and other gods that everything on the earth has changed, except how men are conceived, born and taken away. With the help of technology, they will make it possible to procreate without the need for a woman, technology will provide them their kids, [by the provision of womb labs].
When birth is simplified, it will simplify death also. It would be just Delete and send to Trash Box.
OVERLAP
The ideas of Evil and Good also comes in, for which, Craza wants that these ideas cannot now be placed in water tight compartments. In this age, evil and good overlap. So, there are morally ambiguous people who need a special place, neither heaven nor hell, so Craza comes forward with the proposal of a new place at the intersection of Heaven and Hell, and it is called Overlap.
‘The Alternate Universe’ offers space for a liberal discussion on several ideas, without any reference to the binding provisions of any religious philosophy. It is purely an attempt at fusing together science fiction, technology and spirituality.
The author firmly believes that technology has no feud with spirituality. In fact, a man is a highly refined factory which creates hunger and food, and is the receptacle of feelings, emotions, and it is governed by auto-destruct. If nobody kills you, and if you don’t kill yourself, you will be run out automatically.
So, there is no feud between technology and spirituality. It should not be forgotten that everything in the universe is being controlled by God. Evil was under Divine dispensation. And so is Technology. Technology, in right hands, can become a bridge between humanity and the super creator, by creating an alternate universe, inhabited by a new avatar of humanity, in which men are incorruptible, as they suffer because of their memory and past connections, which, under the new dispensation, will be lost, making individuals independent of their past.
Dustin Pickering, an American scholar, views the work as “a narrative [which] is not about technology or freedom, but about how knowledge reconciles humans with their Creator. The paradox concerns the loop between self-discovery and morality. How can we develop ourselves in a world simply given to us? Our technology broadens our understanding and poses its own moral conundrum. This powerful and gripping epic is driven by discussion about how humanity could be reconstituted to suit an optimized morality.
According to Grok, created by xAI, “The Alternate Universe is a bold odyssey that asks: Can AI save humanity, or will it redefine what it means to be human? A must-read for those pondering the future of technology and the soul. ……The Alternate Universe stands as a testament to Dr. Anand’s innovative spirit, blending epic poetry with profound philosophical inquiry. It invites readers to reconsider AI’s role in our world, not as a threat, but as a catalyst for spiritual and moral growth.
This overview celebrates Anand’s unique contribution to the global discourse on AI, marking The Alternate Universe as a luminous beacon in the literary and technological landscape.The author Dr. Jernail Singh Anand, [the Seneca, Charter of Morava, Franz Kafka and Maxim Gorky award and Signs Peace Award Laureate, with an opus of 180 books, whose name adorns the Poets’ Rock in Serbia]] is a towering literary figure whose work embodies a rare fusion of creativity, intellect, and moral vision.
He’s not just an Indian author but a global voice, challenging readers to confront the complexities of existence while offering hope through art and ethics. His legacy seems poised to endure as a beacon of conscience in a turbulent world. If Tagore is the serene sage of a colonial past, Anand is the fiery prophet of a chaotic present.
Anand’s genius lies in his relentless ambition and ethical depth. Anand may well be considered as the conscience of the 21st century, carving a unique niche among Indian English writers with a voice that resonates globally while remaining fiercely Indian.]

In a world where digital skills determine future success, access to quality education is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. My name is Muslima Olimova, a young changemaker from Uzbekistan, and I founded Muslima Academy to create a bridge between global knowledge and ambitious youth, especially girls from Central Asia.
Born and raised in Andijan, I grew up seeing many talented youth who lacked access to resources, mentors, and international opportunities. Despite living in a digital era, many were unaware of online courses, scholarships, or even how to build a strong CV. That’s when I realized that change had to start somewhere—and I chose to be that start.
Muslima Academy is a youth-led educational platform where we offer online courses, career guidance, international certificate programs, and practical tasks that help students build their portfolios. Our mission is clear: empower 10,000+ youth by 2026 with the tools, skills, and global mindset needed for the 21st century.
We offer affordable access to:
Weekly live masterclasses
Scholarship application coaching
CV and motivation letter writing
Public speaking and personal branding
Mentorship and internship opportunities
What makes us unique is our commitment to inclusivity and real-world impact. In just one year, our students have been accepted into global summits, won international competitions, and even launched their own startups.
As a founder, I also work as a community ambassador for Wakelet in Uzbekistan and collaborate with international organizations to bring global education home. The story of Muslima Academy is not just mine—it belongs to every student who dares to dream big.
My dream? That one day, no youth from our region feels left behind in the digital revolution. Muslima Academy is more than an initiative. It’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.
Muslima Olimova is a 17-year-old student of Information Systems and Technologies at Andijan State Technical Institute in Uzbekistan. She is the founder of Muslima Academy, a youth-led initiative that empowers young people — especially girls — through education, digital skills, and access to global opportunities. Muslima is also the Uzbekistan Ambassador for Wakelet, a global educational platform, and her academic and creative work has been published in more than 26 countries. She is passionate about using technology, education, and innovation to uplift communities and inspire the next generation of changemakers.
In a world where women are increasingly stepping into leadership roles and shaping the future, stories like that of Muslima Olimova stand out as powerful examples of courage, vision, and impact. At just 17, Muslima is not only a student of Information Systems and Technologies at Andijan State Technical Institute in Uzbekistan but also the founder of Muslima Academy — an initiative aimed at empowering youth, especially girls, through education, digital skills, and global opportunities.
A Dream That Became a Movement
Muslima Academy was born out of a simple yet powerful belief: access to knowledge and global exposure can change lives. What started as a small educational initiative has now become a dynamic platform for students, freelancers, and aspiring leaders across Uzbekistan and beyond. Through online courses, international certificate programs, grant writing workshops, and mentorship, the Academy has touched the lives of hundreds of young people.
Facing Challenges as a Young Female Leader
Starting a project as a young girl in Central Asia comes with its share of barriers — from societal expectations to limited resources. Muslima faced skepticism, financial difficulties, and the challenge of balancing her academic life with her entrepreneurial dream. Yet, with resilience and a clear purpose, she turned these challenges into motivation. “I wanted to show that age and gender do not limit what we can achieve,” she says.
From Local Impact to Global Recognition
Muslima’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. She became the Uzbekistan Ambassador of Wakelet, a UK-based global education platform. Her scientific articles, books, and essays are now published in over 26 countries. She’s also a winner of multiple science Olympiads and startup competitions, proving that young women can lead innovation just as boldly as anyone.
Building for the Future
Muslima is currently working on expanding Muslima Academy and launching new projects like EduMingle — a platform that connects youth with real-world tasks, mentors, and portfolio-building opportunities. Her startup ideas combine AI, blockchain, and education to create sustainable solutions for freelance workers and learners.
Through her work, she is building more than platforms — she is building confidence in girls who doubt themselves, opportunity for youth who feel left behind, and hope for communities ready to rise.
The Message
Muslima’s journey is not just about personal success. It’s a call to action — to invest in girls, trust their ideas, and create ecosystems where young people can lead change. As she says, “You don’t need to wait to be older, richer, or more experienced to make an impact. You can start now — with a purpose, a laptop, and a dream.”
Motivation of Foreign Students to Learn the Russian Language in a Non-Linguistic Environment
Introduction
The modern language policy of many countries aims at integration into the global educational and cultural space. In this context, learning foreign languages, particularly Russian, is becoming increasingly important. However, the effectiveness of learning largely depends on the level of student motivation, especially in a non-linguistic environment – that is, in countries and regions where Russian is not used in daily life.
This article is dedicated to exploring the motivation of foreign students to study Russian under such conditions, identifying the determining factors, and outlining ways to enhance academic motivation.
1. The Concept of Motivation in the Process of Learning a Foreign Language
Motivation is a combination of internal and external factors that prompt a person to take action. In the context of language learning, motivation plays a key role: it determines the student’s attitude toward the subject, perseverance in overcoming difficulties, and willingness to engage in independent work.
Scientific research identifies two main types of motivation:
– Integrative motivation – the desire to become part of another culture, communicate with its representatives, and understand their way of thinking;
– Instrumental motivation – learning a language for practical purposes: obtaining education, employment, improving social status, etc.
2. Features of Motivation in a Non-Linguistic Environment
For students studying in countries where Russian is not an official or widely spoken language, motivation develops under specific conditions. The absence of a language environment limits practice opportunities, which may reduce interest in the subject. However, with strong personal or professional interest, students maintain high academic motivation.
Factors influencing motivation in such conditions:
– Personal interest in Russian culture and history;
– Presence of relatives or friends who speak Russian;
– Aspiration to study at Russian universities;
– Career prospects associated with Russian language proficiency;
– Participation in international projects, grants, internships.
3. Empirical Study of Foreign Students’ Motivation
To gain deeper insight into the issue, a survey was conducted among students from Central Asian countries studying in philological and non-philological faculties. The questions concerned their reasons for studying Russian, sources of motivation, and challenges faced.
The results showed that:
– Over 60% of students indicated professional motivation (job, career);
– 25% were motivated by personal interest in culture;
– 15% admitted studying the language as part of the curriculum, without intrinsic motivation.
It was also found that having a teacher who uses interactive methods significantly increases motivation.
4. Problems and Ways to Overcome Them
Studying Russian in a non-linguistic environment comes with a number of challenges that directly affect students’ motivation. Let us consider the main ones:
4.1. Lack of Language Practice
The most commonly mentioned problem is the lack of speaking practice. In situations where Russian is not used in daily life, students struggle to maintain and develop communication skills.
This can lead to decreased confidence and interest in further learning.
Solution: Creating an artificial language environment – organizing Russian-speaking clubs, watching Russian films, participating in online events and forums with Russian-speaking participants.
4.2. Lack of Motivational Stimuli
In many cases, learning occurs “out of duty,” without internal interest. This attitude quickly leads to fatigue and decreased performance.
Solution: Individualized approach – identifying each student’s goals, including assignments related to their interests.
4.3. Limited Access to Modern Learning Resources
In some universities, textbooks are outdated, making learning irrelevant and ineffective.
Solution: Using digital resources, online platforms, and modern Russian language learning apps.
4.4. Psychological Barriers
Students often fear making mistakes when speaking, which hinders their verbal activity.
Solution: Creating a supportive and tolerant atmosphere in class, where mistakes are seen as part of the learning process.
5. Pedagogical Recommendations for Enhancing Motivation
Successful teaching of Russian in a non-linguistic environment requires a creative approach from the teacher. Here are some recommendations:
– Integration of culture into the educational process: lessons on culture, history, cuisine, and Russian art increase interest in the language.
– Project-based learning: students work on mini-projects in Russian – create presentations, videos, conduct interviews.
– Gamification of the learning process: using game formats (quizzes, quests, role-plays) stimulates participation and reduces anxiety.
– Use of motivational interviews: inviting alumni who successfully use Russian in their careers positively influences students’ attitudes.
– Differentiated approach: considering the level of knowledge, interests, and goals of each student helps create a comfortable and motivating environment.
Conclusion
Motivation is a key factor determining the success of learning Russian by foreign students in a non-linguistic environment. Despite external limitations, with proper pedagogical support, the creation of a learning environment, and the use of modern methods, motivation can not only be maintained but also enhanced. Modern technologies, cultural integration, and a learner-centered approach offer broad prospects for effective learning.
Thus, the teacher plays an important role not only as a knowledge provider but also as a motivator who inspires students to learn the Russian language.

UROLOGICAL DISEASES AND THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENT: A COMPREHENSIVE SCIENTIFIC REVIEW
Anorov Sirojiddin Nozimjon o’g’li
A student of the Faculty of Medicine, Alfraganus University
Abstract: This comprehensive review explores common urological conditions—urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary incontinence, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stones, neurogenic bladder, and urological fibrosis syndromes—and their evidence-based medical and minimally invasive treatments. We summarize current pharmacological therapies, endo-urologic procedures, and emerging interventions while highlighting prevention strategies and future research directions.
Introduction: Urological diseases significantly impact global health, affecting over 26 million individuals annually and causing more than \$11 billion in healthcare expenditures.Effective management of these conditions is critical to improving patient quality of life and reducing the burden on health systems.
COMMON UROLOGICAL DISEASES & THEIR MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs remain one of the most common infections in primary and hospital care, especially in women
Antibiotic therapy: remains first-line but contributes to increasing antimicrobial resistance
Non-antibiotic adjuncts(cranberry products, D-mannose, probiotics, NSAIDs, estrogens, immunotherapy) show promise but evidence lacks to fully replace antibiotics
Probiotics: with anti-inflammatory and microbiome-modulating effects, are gaining attention for UTI prevention and recurrence reduction .
Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence (UI) encompasses stress, urge, overflow, and functional types and significantly impairs quality of life.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): BPH affects >60% of men over 50 and causes lower urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, weak flow, and nocturia.
α1-blockers (tamsulosin, alfuzosin) and 5α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) are first-line therapies.
Minimally invasive procedures: Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) offers symptomatic relief with fewer complications, though with higher retreatment rates than TURP.
Surgical gold standard: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is highly effective, albeit with risks.
Kidney stones are commonly managed with non-invasive or minimally invasive approaches:
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the standard therapy for stones <20 mm, achieving 80–85% success, with risks of renal hematoma and trauma.
Adjunct α-blockers post-ESWL enhance stone passage.
Endoscopic and percutaneous options** include ureteroscopy, laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy .
Neurogenic Bladder
Neurogenic bladder arises from neurological disorders (spinal injury, MS, Parkinson’s) and causes retention, incontinence, recurrent UTIs, stones, and renal damag .
Management involves clean intermittent catheterization, behavioral interventions, botulinum toxin injections, antimuscarinics, and surgical reconstruction for refractory cases .
Urological Fibrosis Disorders: Conditions such as Peyronie’s disease and urethral strictures involve fibrotic scarring.
Antifibrotic agents (collagenase injections, mitomycin C, verapamil, interferon) reduce fibrosis and recurrence, with collagenase (CCH) approved for Peyronie’s disease.
CONCLUSION: Urological disorders span infections, functional dysfunction, obstructive, calculi, neurogenic, and fibrotic etiologies. Treatment strategies range from lifestyle modification and antibiotics to pharmacotherapy, minimally invasive procedures, advanced surgeries, and emerging therapies like robotics and tissue engineering. A multidisciplinary, evidence-based, patient‑centered approach is essential to optimize outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce health-care costs.
