Introduction : In our rapidly evolving world, many things have changed since the beginning of time, including changes in the environment, changes in air quality, the rise of modern buildings, the proliferation of modern technologies, and other innovations. However, not every change is 100% safe and effective. They can sometimes affect individuals, communities, regions, and the entire human world in our daily lives. One of these changes is “Atmospheric pollution,” which is now a major global problem. The atmosphere (from ancient Greek: ἀτμός – atmos – vapor and σφαῖρα – sphere) is the air envelope surrounding the Earth and rotating with it. The mass of the atmosphere is 5.15-1015 tons, which is approximately one millionth of the weight of the Earth (5.977-1021 tons).

Air is a natural mixture of gases, mainly nitrogen and oxygen, that make up the Earth’s atmosphere. Under the influence of air and water, important geological processes occur on the Earth’s surface, weather and climate are formed. Air is a source of oxygen necessary for the survival of almost all living organisms (see: Aerobes, Breath). From the combustion of fuel in the air, people get their It has long been used to obtain the necessary heat for living and production needs. In the past, scientists considered air to be one of the elements that make up the basis of existence. The concept of air as an independent substance persisted until the end of the 18th century. Atmospheric air is a layer of air surrounding the Earth, consisting of several different gases, a source that ensures the balance of living beings and other natural resources.

Atmospheric air gives life to humanity, as well as all living beings. Therefore, it is distinguished from other natural objects by its properties. Atmospheric air contains a number of gases, the main of which are nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.9%), carbon dioxide (0.03%), neon, helium, methane, krypton, hydrogen and other gases. Atmospheric air pollution is a violation of the rules for releasing pollutants into the atmosphere, as a result of which the maximum permissible concentration of a toxic substance in the air is exceeded. is increasing. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is one of the main components of the Earth’s atmosphere and plays an important role in the biosphere and climate processes. In recent decades, problems related to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere have been observed, such as climate change, an increase in the composition of the atmosphere and its negative impact.

The atmosphere is our shell of life because it contains air, and air contains oxygen, which is an important source of nutrition for all living beings that breathe. Why do we lose this precious gift for every second of our lives? Of course, these are also reasons arising from human needs, that is, for every benefit there is a loss. What do we mean by this? A person strives for innovation as long as he lives, and as a result, he can gain a lot and lose a lot. We will give examples of modern technologies that lead to negative changes in the air layer and we can see how much this affects our lives. will be.

1. Chemical industry and toxic gases

The release of substances used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries into the air – for example, toxic substances such as dioxins, benzene, and formaldehyde – poses a serious threat not only to the air, but also to human health.

2. Photochemical smog

When exposed to sunlight, automotive and industrial emissions (especially nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons) react with each other to form ozone. This lower-level ozone creates smog, which is harmful to human lungs.

3. Greenhouse gases

Gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) are increasing due to human activities. These gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, causing global warming – climate change.

4. Changes in land resource use:

Urbanization and infrastructure construction change the appearance of the Earth’s surface, affecting how heat is absorbed and released. Such changes often lead to an increase in ambient temperatures.

5. Radiation pollution

Radioactive isotopes produced by accidents at nuclear power plants or nuclear tests.

6. Bioaerosols:

These are living organisms or their parts (e.g. mold spores, bacteria, viruses) that are suspended in the air. Changes in agriculture and the environment are increasing these bioaerosols.

7. Deforestation:

Deforestation, whether for farming or grazing, or for other reasons, creates emissions because when trees are cut down, they release the carbon dioxide they have stored into the atmosphere. Since forests are carbon sinks, their destruction limits nature’s ability to reduce harmful gases in the air.

8. Use of vehicles:

The burning of fossil fuels for transportation (cars, trucks, airplanes) is a major source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.

9. Agricultural practices:

Large amounts of methane and nitrous oxide are produced, especially from livestock farming and the use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers. These gases are powerful greenhouse gases.

10. Burning fossil fuels: Burning coal, oil and gas releases carbon dioxide (CO₂). This gas is an important greenhouse gas, trapping heat and contributing to the warming of our planet. These are just a few examples from our lives, but there are many more and more dangerous ones that we need to prevent, which is important for us humans and, of course, for all living things.

They say that nothing is impossible for a person, and indeed, he can prevent this danger that he himself has created, but this also requires a lot of work, and it starts with a small step. Let’s look at some approaches to prevent the increase in toxic substances in the air:

1. Save energy at home. To reduce energy consumption, it is recommended to reduce heating and cooling, use LED bulbs and energy-efficient electrical appliances.

2. Changing the source of home energy. Changing the source of energy in the home, for example, switching to renewable energy sources (solar, wind) instead of gas or coal, helps reduce the impact on the environment.

3. Walk, cycle or use public transport. Walking or cycling instead of driving reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves your health. Take the train or bus for long journeys.

4. Switch to an electric vehicle.

If you are planning to buy a new car, consider choosing an electric car as it is more environmentally friendly and causes less pollution.

5. Increase green vegetation: increase the number of trees and flowers, preserve and expand existing forests.

6. Electronics, clothing, and other things we buy produce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process. Buy fewer things, buy second-hand, repair, and recycle what you have.

7. Eat more vegetables. Eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and reducing meat and dairy products can significantly reduce your impact on the environment.

8. Throw away less food. When you throw away food, you also waste the resources and energy that went into growing, manufacturing, packaging, and transporting it. When food is lost to landfill, it releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

Preventing global air pollution requires global cooperation from countries. Global cooperation is the process of working together between countries, organizations, and communities on a global scale, pooling resources to achieve common goals, and finding joint solutions to problems. Global cooperation is very important in preventing negative changes in the atmosphere, because this issue is not limited to one country or region, but must be implemented on a global scale. Therefore, many measures are being taken to improve atmospheric changes, and these reforms are important steps to solve environmental problems. These steps include switching to renewable energy sources, reducing pollution in industry and transport, reducing greenhouse gases through international agreements, and strengthening environmental education. These measures serve to improve the quality of the atmosphere and prevent climate change. It has also been noted that great progress can be made in environmental protection through global cooperation and the introduction of innovative technologies, and reforms have been initiated.

Every person is responsible for the negative change in the composition of the air on Earth, so the solution requires joint and individual action. The real negative situations that occur in our lives are increasing day by day, for example, it has been proven that environmental pollution in developed countries is caused by toxic substances emitted by car engines. In some capitalist countries, for example, in Japan, due to the large number of cars, a police officer directing traffic is forced to change his oxygen mask every 2 hours. That is why experts call cars “chemical factories on wheels.” The gas emitted by a car engine contains carbon oxides, carbon dioxide, aldehydes, nitrogen oxides, carbohydrates, and lead compounds, which have a negative impact on human health. Carbon oxides combine with hemoglobin in the blood, reducing its oxygen-carrying function. Lead compounds, passing through the respiratory tract, damage the heart and blood vessels of people.

Conclusion: Every person and society must be responsible for preventing negative changes in the atmosphere. Measures such as the development of green technologies, reducing industrial emissions, making transport environmentally friendly, and preserving forests can help prevent and reduce atmospheric changes. These measures are important not only for saving natural resources, but also for the future of humanity. Thus, the most effective way to preserve the atmosphere and prevent its negative changes is global cooperation and a responsible approach.

Should All Lawbreakers Be Imprisoned, or Are There Better Alternatives?

It is widely acknowledged that the issue of whether all lawbreakers should be imprisoned or whether alternative forms of punishment may be more effective has sparked considerable debate in recent years. While perspectives on this matter differ, it remains a significant concern that affects both individuals and societies. This essay will explore the key aspects of this topic before presenting a final conclusion.

On the one hand, a common argument in favor of imprisoning all offenders is that it ensures public safety. Supporters of this view argue that strict punishments act as a deterrent to crime, thereby protecting innocent citizens. This is particularly relevant in cases involving violent criminals, regardless of their age. For instance, a study conducted by Eliot in 2018 revealed that the number of crimes significantly decreased in regions where strict enforcement policies were in place.

On the other hand, lenient punishments may encourage further criminal behavior. If criminals are not held accountable through fair and appropriate measures, the number of offenses may continue to grow. Simply imposing fines might not be sufficient, especially in serious cases. A just and balanced system is essential. Governments must also consider the broader needs of society. For example, a 2023 BBC report highlighted a case in which two offenders repeatedly committed crimes despite receiving lenient penalties in the past.

In conclusion, the question of how to deal with lawbreakers presents both challenges and opportunities that require thoughtful consideration. While opinions may differ, it is crucial to adopt a balanced approach that combines justice with rehabilitation. Collaboration among policymakers, educators, and the general public is vital in order to implement effective strategies. Without such efforts, lasting progress will remain out of reach.

LIFE’S GENTLE REFLECTIONS

(Võ Thị Như Mai)

The greatest enemy in life

is none other than ourselves

The whirlpool of lies and ignorance

is a blind road

leading us into dreams with no way out

Arrogance only brings failure

pulling us into deep suffering

Jealousy, a quiet sorrow

is like a sharp thorn

silently piercing the heart

Mistakes make us lose who we are

turning life into a dark, starless night

Neglecting our parents is a heavy sin

as burdensome as a thousand mountains

weighing on the soul

Self-doubt is painful and sad

like a bird with broken wings, unable to fly

But from every fall

we can rise again

like trees growing through rock

like light breaking through the darkness

Despair may feel endless

but hope is a steady star

always shining in the sky

Health and wisdom

are treasures more valuable than gold

Feelings are life’s debts

sometimes as light as a passing breeze

sometimes as heavy as unforgettable memories

Forgiveness is the greatest gift

bringing calm in the middle of the noise of life

Knowledge alone isn’t enough

A kind heart

and a gentle soul

are what truly define us

Giving and comforting

are like drops of honey

soothing the pain of the world

V.T.N.M.

THE BOOK OF SEASONS

(Võ Thị Như Mai)

A book lies open

its pages alive with blossoms

their hues shifting from black and white to radiant colour

each stroke of ink, colour of an era

Here, seasons reveals in cycles of brush and verse

cherry blossoms scatter as hopes for renewal

fallen leaves turn retreats into solitude

and the moon rises, a serene witness

to centuries of longing

The weight of tradition presses gently

layered meanings drift like petals in the wind

plum for passing beauty, pine for the everlasting

The borderlands between village and forest blur

where foxes haunt the edges of knowing

mystical, in-between

To look upon a garden

is to see history tell stories

a pine’s shadow carries the chill of distant winters

while lanterns reflect moons in memory

yet present still in gleaming silk

This is not nature untouched

but nature shaped, revered

held both close and cautiously distant

a mirror for the human soul

seasonal cycles

woven into the fabric of living

And in the end

the cherry blossom

is never just a cherry blossom

it is a thousand years of seeing

a transient note

the happiness of eternity

V.T.N.M.

Technology of Artificial Tooth Implantation and Post-Treatment Care

Alfraganus University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Dentistry, 3rd-year student O‘ktamova Shakxnozabonu

Annotation: Artificial tooth implantation (implantation), X-ray and 3D scan to evaluate jawbone condition, avoiding hard or sticky foods, visiting the dentist every 6 months, cleaning with a soft toothbrush, the success rate of artificial tooth implantation

Keywords: Artificial tooth, psychological condition, preparatory stage, implantation, prosthetics, diabetes, osteoporosis, inflammation, osseointegration, laser implantation, computed tomography.Artificial tooth implantation (implantation) is one of the most important and widely used fields in modern dentistry. This technology helps restore the patient’s aesthetic appearance and chewing function in cases of tooth loss. Artificial tooth implantation not only restores external appearance but also improves psychological well-being. This article analyzes implantation technologies, their success rates, and post-treatment care.

Technology of Artificial Tooth Implantation Artificial teeth are implanted into the jawbone using titanium-based implants. This process includes several stages: Preparatory stage: The patient undergoes a general examination. The condition of the jawbone is assessed using X-ray and 3D scan. Implantation: The implant is placed into the jawbone using special instruments. Local anesthesia is used during this stage. Integration: The implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration). This process takes 3–6 months. Prosthetics: In the final stage, the artificial tooth is placed on top of the implant. Today, the process is carried out with much more precision due to computer-assisted planning, navigation surgery, and laser technologies. The success rate of artificial tooth implantation is around 90–98%.

The following factors influence it: Patient’s age: Usually applied to patients older than 18 with fully developed jawbones. Health condition: Conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, and smoking can negatively affect the success of implantation. Oral hygiene: If hygiene is not maintained, inflammation and infection may occur. Surgical expertise and technology: It is important for the surgery to be performed by an experienced specialist using modern technologies. According to statistical data, the success rate has increased in the last 10 years. Especially, the use of laser implantation and computer tomography reduces the chance of error.

Post-Treatment Care Proper care after implantation is very important. The following steps should be followed: Brush teeth twice a day and use dental floss; Visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up; Avoid hard or sticky foods; Quitting smoking – this reduces inflammation around the implant; Clean with a soft toothbrush. In addition, patients may be advised to use special antiseptic mouth rinses and antibiotics. — Conclusion: The technology of artificial tooth implantation is a great achievement in modern dentistry. To achieve successful results, not only the technological process but also the patient’s health and post-treatment care play an important role.

TO MY MOTHER

My mother – a mountain of strength so high,

What are mountains, compared to her blooming sky?

No, I was wrong — she’s my golden crown,

May she walk beside us, healthy and sound.

We are three daughters and one precious son,

To us, she’s a gem, brighter than the sun.

So many storms she has weathered as a woman,

May she stay strong — our prayers are human.

When I wept, calling myself unlucky and weak,

You asked, “Who dared make you feel so bleak?”

You never let your name be dragged through mud,

You said, “If you’re my child, then know only my love.”

Forgive me, mother, for every time I complained,

Wrap me in your love, in your warmth unchained.

You are both my father and mother — my soul’s gleam,

May I walk beside you in Heaven’s dream.

You are my treasure, the crown of my fate,

The sun in my sky, life’s dearest state.

Surrounded by grandchildren, joy never parts,

You are every child’s strength, the queen of hearts.

Between 2021 and 2025, more than 50 of her literary works—both in prose and poetry—have been published in national and international press. Her works have appeared in publications such as “Fergana Haqiqati”, “Dono Word”, “Tong Yulduzi”, “Smile”, “Yangiyer Tongi”, and “Ijodkor”, as well as international journals like “Kenya Times”, “Raven Cage”, “Page 3 News”, and “Thotem” in Argentina. Farzona’s writings have also been featured in collective anthologies, including “Girls Nation – Daughters of the Nation”, published by Amazon.com (USA), as well as collections printed in Khiva, Jizzakh, and Sirdarya.

Her first book was published in 2021 in Great Britain and Europe.

Competitions and Achievements

To date, Farzona has been awarded over 95 diplomas, certificates, and memorable gifts for her active participation and success in various contests.

“Tong Yulduzi” – A Source of Inspiration

The newspaper “Tong Yulduzi” (Morning Star) holds a special place in Farzona’s creative journey. A poem dedicated to the paper by children’s poet Ro‘zimurod Bolqiyev continues to inspire her. According to Farzona, the newspaper, now 96 years old, was known as “Lenin Uchquni” (Lenin’s Spark) during her grandmother’s school years. She has had nearly 30 of her works published in the paper to date.

Farzona expresses deep gratitude to the editorial team of “Tong Yulduzi”—including Feruza Adilova, Nodira Nazarova, Nurbek aka, and all staff members—for their continuous support and warm attitude toward students across the country.

She is also an active member of the “Creative Children” club under the Republican Children’s Library, where the creativity of over 234 young authors is showcased. On average, 4 to 5 children report daily that their works have been published in “Tong Yulduzi”.

A Memorable Victory in Bukhara

Since the 5th grade, Farzona has participated in many creative competitions. She fondly recalls her first victory when newspaper representatives visited her school to award her in person. Later, she received awards by post. In a recent contest jointly organized by “Tong Yulduzi” and the family of the great Bukhara poet G‘ulom Shomurod, she proudly won first place.

Accompanied by her two grandmothers, aunt, and uncle, she traveled from Fergana to Bukhara, crossing seven provinces in 15 hours. Throughout the journey, she received frequent phone calls from the newspaper staff, asking about their well-being. Upon arrival, G‘ulom Shomurod’s children warmly welcomed them and accommodated them in a prestigious hotel. The staff treated them with great respect, offering warm food and tea.

At the event, Farzona’s heart beat differently—filled with excitement and pride. She listened attentively to heartfelt words about the late poet G‘ulom Shomurod, and was deeply inspired to learn more about his works. When she was announced as the first-place winner, her joy was beyond words. She was awarded with a diploma, memorable gifts, and books, including a poetry book by G‘ulom Shomurod himself. She also received a book from Obid Qo‘ldosh, a renowned poet and journalist from Bukhara.

After the ceremony, guests gathered for a special lunch. Though the organizers wanted to give them a city tour, limited time meant the participants had to bid farewell to the “Tong Yulduzi” team and the Shomurod family.

Farzona sincerely thanks the family of G‘ulom Shomurod, especially G‘ayrat Shomurod, the editorial staff of “Tong Yulduzi”, and the administration of Jondor District, Bukhara, for organizing such a meaningful event. She was particularly happy to learn that G‘ulom Shomurod’s poetry has now been included in school textbooks, giving future generations the chance to get to know his legacy from an early age.

Conclusion

Farzona believes that finding her place and rising in the creative world would not have been possible without the guidance of her mentors—especially the devoted team of “Tong Yulduzi”.

Thank you, “Tong Yulduzi”!

 My RESURRECTION  

              (Jesus shows me the way)

                       July 16th, 2025

Truly I say to you all: I have been Resurrected over the last year and half through all the medical issues. Truly, I was legally dead for six minutes doing open heart surgery a year or so earlier. My rapid heartbeats have sent me to the emergency room several times.

The many hospital stays. Finally, the rehab center at Solaris in Apopka Fla on 5-27-2025 till 6-13-2025 was a living nightmare.  Looking back over the last year and half I prayed with intensely to God this year and half. Praying, as I laid in bed. Praying day and into the wee hours of the morning. 

I had focus and purpose to seek God like in childhood in the inner-city. I was created to be with the Holy Father for all eternity on earth or Heaven. Now that I fully understand Jesus total obedience to the Lord. Now I am coming to understand more fully what it means to live in total obedience to Jesus as Lord. 

The walk to Calvary and Golgotha was at the place of the skull. The Cross was not only a symbol to wear, but rather a way of life taught by Jesus himself. Jesus taught me through my illness that I had to die to the physical world of man. 

Jesus taught illness to my understanding was to die to the physical world of man. Man has many desires to be the creator and that man’s selfish needs and wants and desires are opposed to God’s purpose for man. In my recent experiences, I came to understand God, Jesus Christ, and the true purpose of salvation and redemption for us all, starting with First, trust that God cares for you no matter what, simply because you are His child. A child must grow into a man. A man of God’s creation or a man of the world? Man’s world is a world of deception and greed and ultimately death.

This is not Jesus’ death, because he was Resurrected into spirit, joining God presence among the angels. When Jesus died, his death was for the sake of resurrection and to re-join God in the third heaven.

The Cross was my walk the last year and half.  Faith and trust and belief beyond your intentions to save yourself. I learned that you must have faith and trust beyond your intentions to save yourself. You will not save yourself but lose who you were created to be. Once knowing that Jesus lived beyond the physical death and was Resurrected to love and be one with the Father. Once you realize that Jesus lived beyond the physical death and was resurrected, you learn to love and to be one with the Father.

Beyond the symbol of the Cross to the reality that one must die to that which he loves. Jesus focused on His purpose to be crucified even through Jesus knew that he was to show us the path to the light of life and not the darkness of death. 

God offers life.

Man offers death. 

God offers love. 

Man offers hate.

God offers truth.

Man offers lies.

Jesus revealed God’s truth and showed man’s deceit. Jesus walks to Calvary showed man nature for cruelty to man. Nothing could be crueler than the Crucifixion.

What kind of evil had to reside in men to do this to anyone? All of man’s inhumanity was exposed on that walk to Calvary. How about the events leading to the walk with the Cross? The lies and false accusations and the use of these accusations to have a man (the Son of God) crucified. How many of us have experienced these moments?

However, there’s a way out of the darkness and Jesus shines that light in our hearts with God.
