Introduction

International terrorism is a broad concept. It refers to a large-scale threat aimed at disrupting inter-state political and social order by carrying out terrorist acts in various countries. Emerging in the 1960s, it developed significantly toward the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries.
International terrorism is a form of activity intended to inflict harm on one or several countries to achieve political or economic objectives. Its main goals are to destabilize government administration, cause economic and political damage, undermine the foundations of the social order, and violate human dignity, honor, and rights.
The main characteristics of international terrorism include globalization, professionalization, and reliance on extremist ideology. To achieve their goals, terrorist organizations actively use mass media and social networks.
International terrorism not only poses a threat to international legal order and political relations among states but also negatively affects the development of several countries.

The issue of combating international terrorism was first discussed at the international level in 1934 within the League of Nations. This discussion was prompted by the assassination of Yugoslav King Alexander I and French Prime Minister Louis Barthou in Marseille on October 9, 1934.
At that time, the main forms of terrorism included hostage-taking, hijacking of civilian aircraft, and political assassinations. The most powerful and dangerous international terrorist organization of that era was the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), established in 1969 under the leadership of Yasser Arafat.
In the late 1960s, the Soviet Union (USSR) recruited members of national movements worldwide who adopted terrorist tactics and trained them in special camps.
After the September 11, 2001, attacks, when Al-Qaeda terrorists targeted several facilities in the United States, international terrorism grew even stronger.
According to experts, more than 20,000 terrorist acts have been committed to date, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties and victims — most of them civilians.


Main Part

International terrorism is one of the most dangerous and serious global problems for all states. To prevent this threat, several countries have joined forces and are cooperating.
Recently, a conference was held within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), attended by representatives of SCO member states, observer countries, dialogue partners, the SCO Secretariat, and other international organizations.

During the conference, participants exchanged views on pressing issues related to countering the modern threats and dangers posed by international terrorist organizations. They shared advanced experiences in combating terrorism and extremism, emphasizing that terrorism in all its forms poses a serious threat to peace and security.

Attention was drawn to the fact that terrorist organizations are attempting to acquire new types of weapons and military equipment, geolocation and satellite communication tools, and are increasingly using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), artificial intelligence technologies, and information and communication technologies to carry out terrorist activities.
The Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization has shifted to a decentralized network-based operational model, leading to new threats and challenges — particularly in the Middle East and Afghanistan — where the security situation has deteriorated.
It was noted with concern that international terrorist groups entrenched in Afghanistan are approaching the borders of SCO member states and that their members, upon returning to their countries of origin, are reactivating dormant extremist cells.

During the discussion, the participants also emphasized the need to strengthen international cooperation to counter the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes and to prevent the spread of extremist ideologies online. [2]

On March 3–4, 2022, an international conference titled “Regional Cooperation of Central Asian Countries within the Framework of the Joint Plan of Action for the Implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy” was held in Tashkent.

In his speech at the United Nations, the President of Uzbekistan noted that effective cooperation was being carried out to ensure security in Central Asia and acknowledged the successful implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in the region.
The President stated:

“We support holding an international conference dedicated to the ten-year results and future prospects of the Regional Joint Plan within this Strategy.”

In addition, several legislative acts have been adopted in Uzbekistan, including:

  • “On Combating Extremism”,
  • “On Combating Terrorism”,
  • “On Combating the Legalization of Proceeds from Crime, the Financing of Terrorism, and the Financing of the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction”,
    as well as other regulatory and legal documents.

At the Tashkent International Conference, the unique experience of Central Asian cooperation in implementing the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy was presented. Participants also discussed international and regional efforts to combat terrorism.

Within the “Development Strategy” of the Republic of Uzbekistan, under the 6th priority area — “Developing effective mechanisms to combat extremism and terrorism” — several measures have been implemented, including:

  • Improving preventive mechanisms aimed at eliminating the root causes of terrorism, enhancing the socio-spiritual environment, preventing the influence of extremist ideologies, and addressing the problems of individuals affected by such influences;
  • Forming a strong and stable immunity among the population, especially the youth, against terrorist and extremist ideologies;
  • Improving the international legal framework for combating terrorism and expanding contractual cooperation with foreign states, regional, and international organizations;
  • Strengthening the capacity of diplomatic missions, consular offices, the External Labor Migration Agency, and other institutions working with citizens residing abroad;
  • Exchanging information and experience with foreign states and international organizations in combating extremism, terrorism, and their financing;
  • Actively participating in the work of international and regional organizations combating extremism and terrorism;
  • Coordinating joint actions within the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy implementation framework in Central Asia;
  • Expanding Uzbekistan’s role in promoting international initiatives aimed at enhancing information exchange and cooperation in counterterrorism across Central Asia;
  • Intensifying international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Afghanistan, and involving the country in regional cooperation processes, including counterterrorism initiatives.

Uzbekistan supports the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and has ratified 14 international conventions and protocols related to countering terrorism and religious extremism. [4]


Conclusion

In conclusion, terrorism today negatively affects sustainable development and the well-being of many countries worldwide. Its impact can be observed in political, economic, and social spheres.
A state that is not peaceful and stable can never achieve development in any area. To eliminate this threat, countries are joining forces and assisting one another in this common struggle.
For example, the international community, together with Uzbekistan, is actively helping the people of Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan plays a significant role in these humanitarian and peace-support operations.

Essay from Madina Abdisalomova

Young Central Asian girl with her hair behind her head, reading glasses, and a black coat over a white collared shirt.

Nature conservation is the duty of all of us

Nature is the basis of our life, the only home for all living beings. It has given us clean air, pure water, sweet fruits, life-giving sunlight, and green forests. Man lives in unity with nature. Without nature, there would be no life. Therefore, nature conservation is the most important and noble duty of humanity.

However, today, nature is increasingly being harmed by human activity. Forests are being cut down, rivers are being polluted, animals are disappearing. Smoke from cars pollutes the air, and waste from factories poisons the water. As a result of such problems, the environment is losing its condition, serious problems such as climate change, the greenhouse effect, and droughts are emerging. This poses a threat not only to nature, but also to our lives.

Therefore, every person should consider himself a part of nature. We must protect nature not only in words, but also in deeds. Not throwing garbage on the ground, not cutting down trees, but on the contrary, planting new ones, not wasting water – all these are the simplest, but most important steps towards protecting nature.

Every small good deed will lead to big changes. If every person plants a tree, the world will become greener. Trees give us air, coolness, and a place for birds. A person who loves nature will also be kind, clean, and kind-hearted.

We, the younger generation, must deeply feel the responsibility to protect nature. Because today’s nature is our life tomorrow. If we protect it, future generations will breathe clean air, drink clean water, and walk in green forests. But if we are careless, in the future there may be no trace of these beauties.

Love for nature is a sign of humanity in the heart. By preserving Mother Nature, we also preserve our own lives. Nature takes care of us like a mother. She feeds us, protects us, and gives us joy. But if we harm her, she will turn away from us. Therefore, we should always remember the wisdom that says, “Whoever loves nature loves life.”

Today, many organizations, schools, and students are holding various campaigns to preserve nature. Initiatives such as “Clean Air,” “Green School,” and “One Tree – a Thousand Lives” are very important. Such activities not only beautify the environment, but also strengthen people’s love for nature. We should also be active in such activities.

If each of us keeps our yard, school, and neighborhood clean, learns to sort waste, and takes care of animals, nature will be grateful to us. Because it is alive — it also feels, it also wants to live. And we are its closest children.

In short, preserving nature is not just a word, but a duty, responsibility and a sign of love. Every person leaves a mark in this world. Someone cuts down trees, someone plants trees. Which mark is better is up to us to choose. Therefore, let us love nature, let us preserve it, because nature is our life, our future.

Poetry from Eva Lianou Petropoulou

Middle aged light-skinned European woman on a beach on a sunny day. Water in the background and people and shade structures and trees on the other side.

Hearts 

Your heart tonight

Touch my heart

Like the first time…

My heart 

Close to your heart

They whisper

They talk like they know each other for years

Your heart tonight

Make love to my soul

A love full of passion

With care

Respect

Your heart tonight

Show to me

The magic moment

Exist

Your heart

Touch my heart

Like a child

Your heart

Has his own

Prophetical knowledge

You are a diamond

But i had to climb

The highest volcano

So i can find you…

Introduction

The issues of human health and longevity have intrigued scientists and physicians since ancient times. Today, the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle on a global scale, the production of functional food products, and their effective use have become pressing issues. From this perspective, chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.), which have a long history and remain the focus of scientific research today, deserve special attention. Chia seeds have been used since ancient times by the peoples of Central and South America, especially the Maya and Aztecs, as a primary food source. Historical sources describe chia seeds as a “source of strength,” valuing them as a food that supports human health and physical activity. Today, chia seeds are considered a subject of research not only in traditional medicine but also in modern science and medicine due to their unique chemical composition, biologically active components, and functional properties.

The significance of chia seeds is not only in their use in the food industry, but also in their potential for practical application in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. This article highlights the chemical composition of chia seeds, the differences between white and black chia seeds, and their effects on the cardiovascular system, digestion, bone strength, and blood sugar levels, based on scientific evidence. This demonstrates that chia seeds are a promising source that can be widely used internationally as a functional food and biological supplement.

In recent years, the development of the concept of healthy eating worldwide has increased scientific and practical interest in chia seeds. The unique feature of chia seeds is that they are not only high in energy value, but also rich in various biologically active substances essential for the human body, such as proteins, unsaturated fatty acids (especially omega-3), fibre, vitamins and minerals, confirming its high value as a functional food product. As a result, chia seeds are considered an effective means of preventing many diseases, boosting the body’s defences and regulating metabolic processes.

Furthermore, the chemical composition of black and white chia seeds requires a deeper understanding of their mechanisms of action on the human body.

The importance of studying this topic lies in the fact that modern biology and medicine are increasingly recognising the importance of healthy eating. Through in-depth study of the chemical composition of chia seeds, opportunities are opening up for their wider use in the food industry, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Therefore, this research is not only theoretically but also practically significant.

Main section

The chemical composition of chia seeds has been thoroughly studied through scientific research, and it is clear that they contain components with high biological value. The composition of chia seeds includes 20-22% of carbohydrates, 30-35% of proteins, and 25-30% of fats, with a particularly high content of unsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6. The mineral content of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron is significantly high, and vitamins A, E, C, and B group vitamins have been identified. The combination of these components makes chia seeds a functional food product.

One of the main biologically important components of chia seeds is their balanced amino acid composition. This plays an important role in the growth of muscle tissue, metabolism at the cellular level, and meeting the body’s energy needs. Yogurt acids have a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, regulating cholesterol levels and preventing atherosclerosis. For this reason, chia seeds are considered a natural preventive measure for maintaining heart health.

Certain differences are also observed between white and black varieties of Chia seeds. For example, white chia seeds have relatively higher levels of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids, while black varieties have higher levels of fiber and iron. This allows them to be used for various physiological needs and health support purposes. These properties further expand the prospects of chia seeds in the production of pharmaceutical and dietary products.

Dietary fibers occupy a special place in chia seeds. They regulate the digestive process, develop beneficial intestinal microflora and help stabilize blood glucose levels. For this reason, chia seeds can be used as an effective biologically active additive in the Prevention of diabetes and obesity. Antioxidant substances, on the other hand, reduce the harmful effects of free radicals, slow down the aging process of cells and strengthen the immune system.

Scientific research in recent years shows that regular consumption of chia seeds produces a number of positive changes in the human body. In particular, it has been found to be effective in lowering blood pressure, improving brain function, increasing bone mineral density, raising overall energy levels, and reducing inflammatory processes. However, studies also emphasize the need to moderate its consumption, as despite the fact that chia seeds are considered a “superfood,” they also have some negative aspects. The main problem is high amounts of cutlets, especially insoluble cutlets. It can cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract, especially in people with a sensitive Ham making system, or if consumed in large quantities, such as resting on the abdomen and causing metiorism.

This scientific evidence shows the possibility of widespread use of chia seeds in modern nutrition, in the pharmaceutical industry, and in medical practice. Also, its naturalness and richness in biologically active substances form the basis for the recognition of chia seeds as a promising resource for the preservation and strengthening of human health.

Conclusion

The scientific evidence presented above is that of the chia seed (Salvia hispanica L.) confirm that it is a unique nutrient source with high biological value. Its proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fat kilotas, dietary fibers, vitamins and minerals support important physiological processes in the human body. Chia seeds are distinguished as an effective tool for improving the functioning of the cardiovascular system, normalizing digestive processes, increasing bone strength and stabilizing blood glucose levels.

Differences in the chemical composition of white and black varieties make it possible to adapt and apply them in order to support various needs and health. At the same time, it is important to maintain moderation in the consumption of chia seeds, since a high content of fibers can cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal system.

The results obtained indicate that chia seeds are a promising resource that can be widely used as a functional food and biologically active supplement in modern nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and medical practice.

Poetry from Mirta Liliana Ramirez

Older middle aged Latina woman with short reddish brown hair, light brown eyes, and a grey blouse.
Mirta Liliana Ramirez

When I Stop Being Myself

When I stop being myself

I’m always myself

But there are people determined

To find flaws in the milk…

I’m kind, empathetic, and charismatic

But there are people

who, with words or actions

overcome my desire to distance myself…

They are people who love

To poke at the wound

And continue to widen the wound…

And yes, I’m human and I react

And I stop being myself for a moment…

To endure until I’m sick of it

It’s not right

Because the explosion

can leave relationships mortally

wounded and the dead don’t rise…

Poetry from Alan Catlin

The Savage Muse

There is no experience quite like sitting alone in a totally darkened barroom at 5 AM on a Sunday morning staring at the upturned legs of the barstools, drinking pints of Bass Ale, listening to the leaking faucet drip into the stainless-steel sink.

The second hand scans the face of the clock, smoke rings dissipate in the antique, hand engraved Harp Lager mirror behind the bar.

The barman considers the room; the beer puddles on the peeling linoleum floor, the  mud-streaked foot sliding prints, the broken glass shards, the spent matches, the blackened cigarette ends, the twisted plastic drink sticks, the wadded paper napkins strewn everywhere amidst the general rubble.

The barman considers these details of his life quietly as he drinks his Bass.

The clock hands move, the water drips, this is chaos revealed, this is the silent hour, the quiet hour when all that remains are the smoking ruins after The Fall.  

Ordering Details:

In the heat of the night the barman consolidates his orders.

Pours beers from chrome plated taps, shakes drinks one handed over his shoulder, cracks ice in the palm of his left hand with a mallet wielded by his right hand.

Considers his world.

Finds Poems:

Music Men

They heard

tunes in

their heads

no one else

hear

They were

so whacked

out on

where they

            had come

from and

they didn’t

have any

time for

and the now

They were

the ozone

and their

plane was

coming down

so fast

you could

see the

spirals

in their

eyes

More quarters fall into the jukebox.  The pin ball machines in the background are ringing, automatically totaling unknowable scores.

Working Details:

The barman is an extremely precise, particular man of habit.

All the tools of his trade: his bottles, glasses, fruit mixes, and the like must be exactly where  they are meant to be all the time.

Whenever he assumes a shift, he scrupulously examines the subject and orders his material; creates an environment in which he may comfortably function.

saloon

Creation Details:

In the heat of the night, the barman considers his room as if it were a blank sheet of paper; every crowd as a mass of unknowns which must be ordered and controlled.

It is the barman’s role to assign meaning to every detail, to every person, to everything that he sees

Thought maybe

he carried

a gun

and knew

how to use

it

thought

maybe he

was after

my ass

just for

the hell

of it

As an artist, the barman has no time for motivations; his only concern is the effect of the cause.

Escaping Details:

Watching me

in case

he didn’t

show

The barman is an escape artist.

He lives out on the street unprotected, confronting his material head on, directly engaging in a vicious, psychic tug of war with his savage muse.

At the end of his nightly struggle, the barman watches the sun rise outside the darkened barroom drinking Bass Ale as the water drips in the stainless-steel sink.

He is always too numb and too tired to look for or to find poems.

In today’s era of globalization, the introduction of innovative technologies into the education system has become the main task of every teacher. Especially at the stage of primary education, the use of game-based innovative technologies in accordance with the age characteristics of students makes their learning process interesting, active, and effective. Because learning through play is a natural process for a child, in which independent thinking, communication, cooperation, and a creative approach are formed.

Innovative game technologies are understood as teaching methods in the form of a game, including interactive, digital, and creative elements in the educational process. They attract students to the lesson, increase learning motivation, and play an important role in consolidating knowledge. Play is the most important way for a child to express themselves, and for their further formation and improvement.

Games have an important place and special significance in children’s lives. Games mainly occupy a leading place in labor and educational activities. This is constantly and inextricably linked with these activities. Games, which constitute the main content of preschool children’s lives, activate all existing characteristics and opportunities in the child. The child moves, communicates, thinks, and at the same time perceives, satisfies needs, and understands the consequences of their actions.
