The Restless Times

The world is moving through a restless time.
People—
instead of being friends—
have turned into each other’s fiercest enemies.

Day and night
obsessed with killing, violation, or harm
we chase one another in endless hostility

Yet, many stars still bloom in the dark—
but they are confined indoors.
They have no power to light the open sky.

Their glow dies quietly
imprisoned behind the threshold.

Meanwhile, the wicked roam the earth unchecked.
Beasts wear the sacred threads of saints
and make a mockery of virtue.

In this aggressive competition
more and more lives are erased.

We were meant to extend a hand of friendship—
yet like that old mariner,
we have all become ideal-less killers of the albatross.

So much murder, so much cruelty, so much human tyranny
that the eyes grow tired and close.
The inner world of thought begins to shrink.

How long do we even stay on this earth?!

And still—
so much of this?
Still?

Education — The Foundation of Societal Progress

Education is one of the most important factors in a person’s life. It not only provides knowledge but also shapes the individual, defining their worldview and approach to life. The level of education in a society directly reflects its degree of development. Where there are educated people, progress occurs, ideas flourish, and solutions to problems are found.

Today, the field of education is no longer limited to traditional methods. Modern approaches, technologies, and interactive methods have become an integral part of the learning process. Students are no longer mere listeners; they actively engage in acquiring knowledge. This fosters independent thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to draw conclusions.

The main purpose of education is not simply to provide information. Its most important goal is to nurture responsible and conscious individuals who can find their place in life. Knowledge gained today may become outdated tomorrow, but a person who knows how to think can adapt to any circumstance. Therefore, special attention must be given to developing logical reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving skills within the educational process.

In this process, the teacher’s role is invaluable. A teacher is not just a professional delivering lessons but also a guide, mentor, and motivator. Their attitude, patience, and approach significantly influence the student’s future. For this reason, a teacher must continuously work on themselves, update their knowledge, and stay in sync with the times.

The development of information technologies has made education more accessible and open. Online classes, electronic resources, and digital platforms have expanded opportunities for learning. Education is no longer limited by space or time. However, proper use of technology is essential, as it should serve as a supportive tool while the primary goal remains human development.

Education and upbringing are inseparable concepts. Alongside knowledge, human values, respect, responsibility, and patriotism must also be cultivated. Otherwise, a knowledgeable but unprincipled person will not benefit society. Therefore, the educational process should be enriched not only with lessons but also through real-life examples and a positive environment.

Overall, education is the most important investment in the future. It brings a person to maturity, elevates society, and paves the way for progress. The more attention is given to education, the brighter the future will be.

OLIGOFREN CHILDREN: PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT CHARACTERISTICS AND EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES

Annotation: This article provides a scientific analysis of the concept of oligofrenic children, their cognitive development characteristics, and the challenges encountered in the education and upbringing process. The study examines cognitive activity, thinking, memory, attention, and speech delays in oligofrenic children, as well as the special pedagogical methods used in their teaching and upbringing. Methodologically, the article is based on theoretical analysis, observation, and comparison. The results indicate that early identification of oligofrenic children and the implementation of individualized programs and specialized approaches effectively promote their development and social adaptation.

Keywords: oligofrenic children, special pedagogy, psychology, oligophrenopedagogy, cognitive development, correctional lessons, pedagogical methods.

Introduction: In modern society, the socio-economic development of a country places new and responsible demands on the education system. In particular, identifying children with intellectual disabilities and organizing effective educational and upbringing processes for them is one of the pressing issues. Failure to adequately consider the psychological and individual characteristics of oligofrenic children during instruction reduces educational effectiveness and prevents children from fully realizing their potential. Practical experience shows that many oligofrenic children are forced to study in general education institutions, which creates additional difficulties in their cognitive activity. Insufficient use of special pedagogical approaches and the lack of individualized educational programs exacerbate the problem, leading to decreased interest in learning and slower social adaptation.

Proper inclusion of oligofrenic children in educational processes is not only pedagogically but also socially important. Scientific, systematic, and goal-oriented approaches are necessary to prepare them for independent life and societal integration. Therefore, it is crucial to study the cognitive development characteristics of oligofrenic children, identify challenges in education, and develop solutions. This article examines the concept of oligofrenic children, their levels of intellectual development, psychological characteristics, and educational challenges from a scientific perspective.

Methodology: The study used theoretical and practical research methods to explore issues related to oligofrenic children, based on scientific perspectives from special pedagogy, psychology, and oligophrenopedagogy. The analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature was employed to examine the concept of oligofrenia, its causes, levels of cognitive development, and psychological characteristics of oligofrenic children. Comparative analysis and generalization of sources were used to draw key conclusions. Observational methods were applied to identify difficulties in cognitive activity, speech, behavior, and learning. Data were analyzed using synthesis methods to ensure scientific validity. Pedagogical approaches were also assessed to evaluate their effectiveness in teaching and upbringing oligofrenic children. This methodology ensured achievement of research objectives, scientific substantiation of the topic, and practical conclusions.

Discussion and Results: Theoretical analysis and pedagogical observations indicate that the unique characteristics of cognitive development in oligofrenic children require special approaches in the educational process. Cognitive processes—thinking, memory, attention, and speech—develop slowly, making it difficult to assimilate learning materials. Therefore, traditional teaching methods alone do not yield sufficient results and may cause excessive stress and discouragement. Visual aids, repetition, and activity-rich lessons demonstrate high effectiveness. Individualized lessons increase students’ engagement, strengthen self-confidence, and positively influence social adaptation.

Early identification and referral to specialized educational institutions significantly enhance educational effectiveness. Special methods, including individualized programs, correctional lessons, labor activities, and daily life skill tasks, play a crucial role in developing independent functioning. Additionally, teachers’ knowledge, preparation, and empathetic approach directly impact the social and psychological development of children. Family and social support further contribute to personal development, facilitate social integration, and enhance self-awareness.

Conclusion: Research and analysis confirm that scientific, systematic, and individualized approaches are essential in working with oligofrenic children. Cognitive delays in thinking, memory, attention, and speech determine challenges in education. Specialized pedagogical methods—visualization, practical activities, repetition, individual approaches, and labor-based tasks—ensure high effectiveness. These methods enhance engagement, independent functioning, and social adaptation. Teacher expertise, family support, and societal conditions directly influence children’s development. Early identification, referral to special educational institutions, and individualized programs maximize developmental potential. Applying scientifically-based, individualized pedagogical methodologies not only improves educational outcomes but also ensures social adaptation and preparation for independent life. Continued research and development of effective methods in special pedagogy remain critical both scientifically and socially.

Bradbury Among Us: Why a Great Science Fiction Writer Understood Our Future Better Than We Do

Tradition and Algorithms

Recently, while watching my robot vacuum cleaner, I found myself thinking about our mahallas, where residents rise early in the morning and sweep their courtyards and streets with a broom. Here, cleanliness is not merely the absence of dust — it is a sign of respect for neighbors and a readiness to open one’s gates to a guest at any moment.

At home, meanwhile, my robot vacuum was stubbornly trying to “negotiate” with a chair leg. In that moment, I caught myself thinking that I had read about something like this before.

I took an old volume of Ray Bradbury from the shelf and was struck: he had looked straight into our present world — with all its gadgets and, more importantly, with our loneliness among them.

Smart Homes and Empty Rooms

In his famous short story There Will Come Soft Rains, Bradbury described a house that prepares breakfast, cleans up, and reminds its owners of their daily tasks. In the 1950s, this seemed like pure fantasy. Today, we refer to it as a “smart home” and control it from our smartphones.

But Bradbury looked deeper. Technology may be flawless, yet it remains only a set of microchips. Surrounded by sensors and voice assistants, we often forget that comfort is created not by automatic curtains but by the people who live behind them.

In Uzbekistan, a home has always been a place where the guest, not the interior, stands at the center. Bradbury’s “smart house” is functional, but it lacks baraka — the blessing that comes from living conversation over a cup of tea.

Artificial Intelligence: A Friend or an Imitation?

Bradbury often wrote about robots replacing loved ones. Today, we discuss chatbots capable of holding conversations as well as an old friend. It seems convenient.

Yet the writer warned us: by replacing living communication with a perfect algorithm, we risk forgetting how to understand real, “imperfect” people. His stories remind us that no program can replace the warmth of human sincerity.

Teahouse Versus Algorithm

In Fahrenheit 451, a mechanical hound hunts those who think differently. It is unsettlingly similar to modern social media algorithms that decide what we see and what we do not, creating an invisible digital cage.

Bradbury feared the isolation of people in their “seashells” — their headphones. He foresaw a world in which people would be locked inside digital cocoons.

In Uzbekistan, the tradition of the teahouse is still alive — a place where news is learned not from an algorithmic feed but from living conversation. Watching elders and young people spend hours in unhurried discussion over hot tea, one realizes that this is the antidote to the mechanical hound Bradbury imagined. Here, the algorithm is powerless before a sincere “Assalomu alaykum.”

AI Art and Traditional Craft

A neural network can generate a portrait in seconds, yet it lacks the soul that a master from Rishtan puts into every ornament on a ceramic plate.

Bradbury taught us to value imperfection, because within it — like in hand-embroidered suzani — lies the uniqueness of human destiny.

A machine can imitate style.
But it cannot live a life.

The Human Being as the Main Instrument

Ray Bradbury did not seek to frighten us. He urged us not to lose our heads in excitement over new technologies. His books are not merely science fiction; they are, in a sense, a manual for living in the future.

He teaches us the essential lesson: in a world of endless code and perfect machines, we must remain human — vulnerable, mistaken, alive.

Robots, artificial intelligence, and digital systems are all creations of human hands. Therefore, it is up to us to guide technology and to build a real world of lived experience.

For us in Uzbekistan, Bradbury’s challenge sounds especially urgent: how to build IT parks and implement artificial intelligence without losing the warmth of neighborly support and the value of a large family. We must make technology a tool for strengthening our bonds — not a wall dividing us.

ONE MORNING

One morning, quite suddenly

Someone will announce to me

that the water carried away my crib

winds swept away my park

The rain washed away my tracks

One morning, somebody would tell me

that my memories are covered with white

Someone will tell me

Someone third in me

that I lost myself

one morning

It will ask what happened to the boys

And why not their rate on Starry sky

And where is the sky

This will be a great morning if I wake up

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.

Keywords: Epicardium, myocardium, endocardium, carbon dioxide, automatism, rib, clinical, atherosclerosis, hypertension, aneurysm, phlebothrombosis, varicose veins, thrombophlebitis.

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.

This article examines the devastating impact of the totalitarian regime on human personality and destiny through the example of Shukrullo’s work “Buried Without a Shroud”. The main issue of the work is interpreted from a literary and psychological perspective, focusing on the spiritual resilience of the lyrical protagonist (the author himself) and his struggle to preserve inner freedom amid the horrors of the 1937 repression period. The conducted research proves that the work is not merely a historical document, but a true tragedy demonstrating that personal courage and universal human values are capable of surviving even under totalitarianism.

Keywords:

Buried Without a Shroud, Repression Period, Autobiographical Prose, Victims of Stalinism, Totalitarianism, Forced Labor Camp System, Psychological Analysis, Personal Tragedy.

INTRODUCTION

In the history of Uzbek literature, Shukrullo’s work “Buried Without a Shroud” is recognized as one of the most significant and courageous examples of prose from the independence period. This work is a literary and historical document that reflects the cruel reality of the political repressions that affected the intellectuals of Uzbekistan during the 1930s–1950s, conveyed through personal experiences. The autobiographical nature of the work and the author’s depiction of the severe trials within the system of forced labor camps further intensify its emotional impact on the reader.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the pressure of the totalitarian regime on the individual as portrayed in “Buried Without a Shroud”, as well as the protagonist’s inner spiritual struggle against this oppression and the motives behind his moral choices. The work also depicts how many innocent Uzbek young men were falsely accused, brutally executed, and thrown into the soil without shrouds. The main thesis of the article is that Shukrullo presents the forced labor settlements not merely as physical prisons, but as a system aimed at destroying the human spirit; however, through the lyrical protagonist’s inner monologues and moral resistance, the narrative demonstrates a spiritual victory over the regime.

MAIN PART

1. The Psychology of the Repression Period and Inner Loneliness

The psychological state of the protagonist becomes an object of analysis from the very beginning of the work. The scenes of interrogation and arrest reveal the complete helplessness of the individual in the face of totalitarianism. By depicting the protagonist’s extremely delicate inner experiences, the author demonstrates that spiritual suffering is deeper and more devastating than physical torture.

The protagonist’s first experiences in prison are particularly significant for psychological analysis. He describes himself as “a soul crying between invisible walls” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 32]. This image signifies the individual’s isolation from society and confinement within a spiritual cage. A direct example reflecting the protagonist’s sense of loneliness and despair is expressed in the following lines: “It was not an iron cage that surrounded me, but walls of facelessness and conscience-lessness. I felt completely cut off from the world” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 45].

2. The Struggle for Human Dignity in the Life of Totalitarian Labor Camps

The central part of the work — the detailed depiction of life in repression camps — is presented as a field of moral choices. Despite hunger, cold, and constant threats in the лагер conditions, the author shows through his protagonist that supreme human values such as compassion, friendship, and conscience can still be preserved. This struggle forms the core idea of the work. The cruelty inflicted upon prisoners and the harsh treatment they endured are clearly portrayed.

Scenes depicting the author’s spiritual closeness with other prisoners strengthen the motif of preserving inner freedom. He writes: “To share a piece of bread, to look at one another in silence — this had become the highest expression of human life” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 115]. Their monologues about “seeking light within the darkness” demonstrate spiritual resilience and unbreakable will [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 128].

3. “Buried Without a Shroud” – Interpretation of Its Symbolic Meaning

The title of the work — “Buried Without a Shroud” — carries a powerful symbolic meaning that reveals the inhuman essence of the totalitarian regime. A shroud is not only a material object, but also a spiritual ritual and a sign of respect. To be buried without a shroud signifies not only physical death, but also the erasure of a person from social memory and the loss of human dignity.

The term is used by the author to represent the spiritual death of repression victims and the attempt to erase their names from history. In the work, the forced labor settlements themselves are depicted as vast graves: “Here they do not shroud us; they simply kill our memory and bury it” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 210]. One of the most powerful expressions of the author’s lyrical voice appears in the following line: “It was not the road to death itself, but the loss of dignity that was the most terrible tragedy” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 230].

4. The Literary Value of Memory and Resistance

The value of this work also lies in the fact that it was created years after the tragic events it describes. It is not merely a journalistic account, but a spiritual victory of memory over tragedy. The author’s later reflections further enhance the literary significance of the work.

As an example of autobiographical prose, its scientific and historical value is strengthened, presenting it as an important source for preserving historical memory for future generations. Memory itself becomes a weapon of resistance, as the author writes: “I was compelled to write this work so that the horror of those past days might continue to flow in the blood of the next generation” [Shukrullo, 2015, p. 255].

CONCLUSION

Through “Buried Without a Shroud,” Shukrullo introduced a new dimension to the tradition of psychological realism in Uzbek literature within the context of the repression period. The findings of this study confirm that despite the overwhelming pressure of the totalitarian regime on the individual, the lyrical protagonist preserves his inner moral independence and spiritual freedom.

This article strengthens the theoretical approach to “Buried Without a Shroud” and presents it as a valuable source for studying the prose of forced labor camps in post-Soviet literature.
