Dreams will definitely come true

You can always achieve your dreams. You just have to believe and act. It’s true that sometimes you get depressed, things may not seem like it, but your efforts will pay off one day. You just have to sincerely believe in dreams.

I also have many dreams and I am gradually achieving these dreams.

 You know, many years ago, when I was 6 or 7 years old, my parents used to take us to many festivals and theaters, and I was envious of those who participated in the festival or those who acted on stage. I used to say to myself that I wish I could go to the stage and take part in the celebrations. I dreamed of being like them, thinking that maybe I would be like them when I grow up. I had forgotten this dream of mine. But when I was young, I was so envious that I was able to play a role in the theater at the age of 14 and at the age of 15 to perform on the big stage at the festival. After a long time, I achieved my dream.

True, some people may say that this is both a job and a dream, but I am very happy that I have achieved my dream from my youth and I once again believed that if a person really wants something, that dream will come true. Your dream may not come true when you want it, but your dream may come true at an unexpected time.

Believe in your dreams and keep moving. Because you can’t make dreams come true.

The Topical Issues of Linguistics

Abstract: Linguistics, as the scientific study of language, is one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing fields in modern science. Today, it faces numerous topical issues connected with globalization, digital communication, multilingualism, and cultural interaction. This article explores the current problems of linguistics, focusing on the influence of technology, language policy, and the preservation of linguistic diversity.

Introduction

Language is the main means of human communication and the foundation of culture and identity. The 21st century has brought significant changes to linguistic research due to social, technological, and cultural transformations. Modern linguistics does not only study grammar and phonetics but also investigates how language functions in society, digital spaces, and intercultural communication. Understanding the current issues in linguistics helps researchers find ways to preserve and develop languages in the era of globalization

Main Part

One of the most urgent problems of linguistics today is language endangerment and preservation. Thousands of languages around the world are on the verge of extinction due to migration, urbanization, and the dominance of global languages such as English and Chinese. Linguists are working to document endangered languages and maintain their cultural heritage through digital archives and educational programs.

Another pressing issue is the impact of technology on language. The rise of the Internet, artificial intelligence, and social media has led to new forms of communication — online slang, abbreviations, and emoji-based expression. These changes have created a new field of study known as digital linguistics, which examines how technology shapes language use and development.

Additionally, multilingualism and language policy have become central concerns in linguistics. As people migrate and cultures interact, societies become more linguistically diverse. Governments must therefore develop fair language policies that support both national and minority languages, ensuring linguistic equality and access to education.

Finally, computational linguistics — the intersection of language and computer science — has gained enormous importance. It helps improve translation systems, speech recognition, and natural language processing, making human–computer interaction more effective and natural.

Conclusion

Linguistics today is not only a theoretical science but also a practical discipline that affects education, technology, and social harmony. The study of topical issues such as digital communication, language preservation, and multilingualism is essential for the sustainable development of global society. The future of linguistics lies in combining traditional knowledge with innovative approaches to better understand how language evolves and how it can continue to unite people across cultures and generations.

A Flame Kindled by Forgiveness

On the dusty southern land,

Treading the dirt roads of a small village,

With injustice and discrimination etched in his eyes,

He walked, etching words

That burned with fire upon the stone paths.

With a heart set aflame he raised the flag,

And with a silent outcry

Shook the closed walls of power,

Yet only echoes of his voice

Remained in the shadow of iron bars.

Even through twenty-seven years of long silence,

He did not yield.

Using books and dreams as his lamp,

He planted the seeds of dawn.

The world heard his silence,

And in the light of release he spoke,

“I will embrace the fallen nation

With flowers of forgiveness, not the blade.“

Nelson Mandela, his name

Now remains a flame within the soul;

The one who planted saplings shining in black earth,

Awakening the wilderness from its sleep,

Shaking the slumbering hearts of the world.

The Light on a Wet Shoulder

On life’s journey, everyone

Meets a storm that soaks them to the bone.

Some stagger in the wind,

Embracing their drenched souls,

Then collapse or sink to the ground.

Even in that rain,

Is there truly no path

To follow a single ray of light?

Some, beneath lightning-split skies,

Hear a whisper soft as breath,

Find a light gently spreading

Through cracks in gray clouds,

And in the warmth settling on wet shoulders,

They call even this storm a festival’s drumbeat

And sing a song of thanks.

I too, in my youth,

Was thrown into a dark prison by the pain of illness,

But clung to the rope called prayer,

Never letting go of the star of hope.

And so today, I

Kindle flames of poetry upon a withered heart,

Offer warm light to hungry souls,

And seek to bloom, unbroken in the storm,

As an edelweiss bearing the fragrance of heaven.

The Sun

At every dawn, tearing through the veil of darkness,

With golden feathers fluttering, the sun ascends.

The source of all things, the breath of the Creator,

Pulsates endlessly, whispering its steady rhythm.

Its fiery gaze pours upon the Earth,

An eternal lamp holding the flame of life.

The pilgrimage that dances along the invisible path

Is a perfect symphony woven by God’s hand.

Beneath that light and warmth,

Flowers quietly open their lips, fruits ripen in the light.

All offer thanks for the silver blessings

Scattered by the sun,

And offer fragrant worship to the Master of the cosmos.

Wherever I am, burning with all my being,

With a heart that drives back the darkness,

I will become a small star that brightens the world.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY: MAIN PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS

Abstract:

This article provides a detailed analysis of the main problems causing the decline in the quality of electrical energy. In particular, it examines factors such as voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, reactive power imbalance, and voltage unbalance, and their negative effects on the stability of the power grid and the operation of consumer electrical devices. The article proposes several modern technical solutions to overcome these challenges, including the reduction of harmonics through passive and active filters, methods for reactive power compensation, voltage optimization technologies, and real-time monitoring systems that allow continuous observation of the network’s condition. The research results hold significant scientific and practical value for improving power quality, enhancing energy efficiency, and ensuring the reliability of the power supply system.

Keywords: power quality, voltage fluctuations, harmonics, reactive power, filters, voltage optimization, monitoring system, energy efficiency, reliability

Introduction

In recent years, the rapid development of industry, transport, information technologies, and services, along with the introduction of new technologies and global economic growth, has led to a sharp increase in the demand for electrical energy. Consequently, there is a growing need to ensure the stable and uninterrupted operation of power supply systems, maintain high energy quality, and use existing resources efficiently.

Power quality has become a crucial factor in providing continuous energy supply to both industrial and domestic consumers. A decline in power quality is mainly manifested through voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, excessive reactive power consumption, and voltage asymmetry. These negative factors seriously threaten the stability and efficiency of the electrical network. For instance, voltage fluctuations and harmonic distortions can lead to improper operation of industrial equipment, accelerated wear, energy loss, and reduced production efficiency. Similarly, excessive reactive power and voltage asymmetry cause uneven distribution of voltage and current across the network, potentially damaging consumer equipment.

Therefore, technical and technological solutions aimed at maintaining and improving power quality are essential. This article analyzes these issues in depth and presents a number of modern methods and technologies to address them. These include passive and active filters, reactive power compensation systems, voltage optimization technologies, and real-time monitoring systems. Applying such methods can improve power quality, ensure the reliability of power supply systems, and enhance energy efficiency. The article also provides practical recommendations for the application of these solutions.

Main Part

Power quality refers to the degree to which the supplied electrical energy meets established standards (such as GOST, IEC, and PQ norms). The demand for high-quality power is increasing, as it is essential for the smooth operation of technological processes across different sectors.

The main indicators of power quality include voltage level and stability, frequency stability, harmonic content, temporary voltage changes (such as dips or surges), voltage asymmetry, and reactive power. Each of these indicators must be maintained within optimal limits to ensure reliable and efficient operation of electrical equipment.

Voltage stability in the power grid is crucial for ensuring continuous and quality power supply. Sudden voltage drops, rises, or interruptions can cause industrial machinery shutdowns and failures of information systems, leading to significant economic losses—especially in high-tech industries and critical sectors such as healthcare and banking.

Nonlinear loads such as digital devices, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and computer systems generate harmonics in the system. These harmonics lead to overheating of transformers, electric motors, and cables, thereby reducing overall system efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and shortening equipment lifespan. Harmonics are assessed according to IEC 61000-4-7 and IEEE 519 standards, and corrective measures are applied accordingly.

Excessive reactive power reduces the ability of the power system to transmit useful (active) power, leading to overloads at power stations and decreased energy efficiency. To mitigate this, technologies such as Static VAR Compensators (SVCs), automatic capacitor banks, and shunt reactors are used to improve system efficiency.

In three-phase systems, uneven load distribution results in voltage asymmetry, which causes motors to overheat, vibrate, and operate less efficiently. Maintaining voltage balance is therefore essential.

To eliminate harmonics, passive LC filters and active power filters (APFs) are widely used today. Active filters detect harmonic currents in real time and inject counter-phase currents to cancel them out. This method provides high precision and fast dynamic response, allowing the system to adapt to varying loads.

Voltage stabilization is achieved through Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. AVRs control voltage fluctuations to maintain stable output, while UPS systems ensure continuous power supply—especially vital in fields like medicine, IT, and finance.

Smart grid technologies, Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring systems, and power quality analyzers enable continuous observation of network parameters in real time. They help identify disturbances early and take corrective action promptly. By collecting and analyzing real-time data, potential problems can be detected and addressed before they cause major issues.

Power quality analyzers measure voltage, frequency, reactive power, and harmonics, providing accurate diagnostics of network conditions. These tools are crucial for maintaining stable, reliable, and high-quality power supply.

Conclusion

The article has analyzed the key factors that degrade power quality—voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortions, reactive power imbalance, and voltage asymmetry. These issues negatively affect the stability of power systems and the efficiency of electrical equipment, leading to production interruptions, increased energy losses, and reduced overall system performance.

Modern technical solutions are proposed to address these challenges, such as reducing harmonics using passive and active filters, compensating reactive power, optimizing voltage, and employing real-time monitoring systems. The use of active filters, reactive power compensators, and smart monitoring technologies (such as IoT-based systems and power quality analyzers) significantly enhances system reliability and efficiency.

Improving power quality leads to higher energy efficiency, reduced losses, and extended equipment lifespan in industrial and domestic systems. Moreover, the adoption of modernized technologies ensures a stable and reliable power supply. Such technological approaches contribute to the sustainable use of global energy resources, reduction of environmental impact, and overall economic growth, promoting the implementation of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient technologies.

Ramona

She looks at me like this…

as if her pupils could pierce flesh

as if I were a little transparent

through her eyes, her tin gaze is laid bare,

and the rust on her hands

dissolves in pure surrender

She looks at me like this…

as if to touch my heart she didn’t ask permission

She looks at me like this…

from the depths, with her sweet gaze

as if her composure were made of air

and at each point of the weld

among sparks, one had set fire

to her scrap metal life.

She looks at me like this…

Bending her tired back

Drawing her smile between teeth like screws

Searching among the cold figure of her body

for the wandering lines of her bones

She doesn’t need flesh to live

nor blood nor organs

she has a feverish soul of sheet metal and silence

A loneliness of hugs and kisses

She looks at me like this…

Exhausted from so much falling and getting up

leaving between her twisted bends

a heart shining in her wire-like figure.
