In a world where diplomas are often seen as mere tickets to employment, the true purpose of higher education is sometimes forgotten. But for students like me, university is not just a stepping-stone — it is a transformative experience. It’s where knowledge becomes purpose, curiosity becomes direction, and youth finds its voice.
In 2024, I was admitted to the Uzbekistan University of Journalism and Mass Communications (UzJOKU) on a state scholarship. I study English Philology and Language Teaching under the Faculty of International Relations and Social-Humanitarian Sciences. For me, this wasn’t just the fulfillment of a dream; it was the beginning of a lifelong journey in the pursuit of knowledge and meaningful communication. UzJOKU was established in 2018 by Presidential Decree No. 3737 and holds a unique place as the only specialized media university in Central Asia. In just seven years, it has evolved into a vibrant hub of journalism, international relations, media design, psychology, political science, and philology. But beyond degrees and disciplines, UzJOKU is a space where theory meets practice. Its modern facilities — from professional video studios to audio recording labs — allow students to apply what they learn in real-world settings. What sets UzJOKU apart, however, is not just its infrastructure. It’s the energy that flows between people. Here, passionate teachers transfer their knowledge — and their inspiration — to students who arrive each morning with eyes full of hope and hearts full of ambition. The university’s motto, often repeated by its rector Sherzodkhon Qudratkhoja, captures this spirit perfectly: “A university is the place where people and knowledge meet.”
At a recent Student Media Conference, Rector Qudratkhoja reflected on the institution’s rapid growth:
“These seven years were not ordinary. They were equal to many more. We’ve built the foundation of journalism and the social sciences — once scattered, now unified. The world has changed. That’s why what lies ahead is greater than what we’ve already achieved.”
Today, with nearly 5,000 students and a faculty of distinguished scholars, UzJOKU stands not only as a university but as a movement. Its rector — a renowned journalist, TV presenter, political scientist, and academic — leads with a vision grounded in national values and global thinking. He is also the chairman of the Uzbekistan National Media Association and holds the title of Doctor of Political Science and the prestigious “Mehnat Shuhrati” (Labor Glory) Order.
What I’ve found at UzJOKU is more than education — it’s connection. It’s the meeting point of experience and ambition, of heritage and innovation. It’s where I learned that energy isn’t only physical — it’s emotional, intellectual, and deeply human. And here, that energy is contagious. In a time of information overload and global complexity, institutions like UzJOKU remind us that shaping minds matters. That a university can be more than a building — it can be a living idea. I am proud to be part of this idea, to grow with it, and to contribute to a future where media is not only a profession, but a responsibility.
UzJOKU is not just where I study. It’s where I belong. It’s where people and knowledge truly meet.

My impressions from Erkin Vohidov’s epic poem “Rebellion of Souls”
“Rebellion of Spirits” is a work written by Erkin Vahidov, a prominent representative of modern Uzbek literature. It is an epic poem about the Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam. The work is composed of several legends and parts, which narrate the lives of characters who lived in different historical periods.
The poem is dedicated to the heroic and tragic fate of the fiery Bengali poet Nazrul Islam, who lived and worked in the first half of the last century. Nazrul Islam’s bitter fate served as a means for the poet to express the pain in his own heart. The poem “Rebellion of Spirits” is based on the life of this rebellious Bengali poet. The following lines by Nazrul Islam are used as an epigraph to the epic:
You were born free, forever
Be free!
Regarding the creation of this work, the poet himself says:
“If the task of a writer or poet were simply to narrate the life and adventures of a person, then there would be no easier craft in the world than writing. After all, a creator must artistically analyze the life and fate of their protagonist, and use that opportunity to present their own observations and reflections about life! The fate of my hero, Nazrul Islam, offered rich material in this regard. A difficult period of creative searching began. I had to abandon the initial draft of the epic, and after many attempts, the current version—presented to readers—emerged.”
Formally, the epic consists of an Introduction, a Tale about Eternity, five chapters, and a Conclusion. Each of the five chapters is divided into different stories and narratives:
In the first chapter: “The Poet’s Heart,” “The Song of Rebellion,” “The Tale of Selflessness”
In the second chapter: “Rebellion,” “The Tale of Ignorance”
In the third chapter: “In Captivity,” “The Tale of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb”
In the fourth chapter: “Shadows,” “A Tale about Higher Spirits”
The fifth chapter includes: “Freedom,” and “The Tale of Ascetics and Mystics”
When analyzing the parts of the epic in terms of content, the following conclusions can be drawn: In the “Introduction” (Muqaddima), the poet describes human behavior and the turning points in their way of life. He emphasizes that each path has an entrance and an exit. Even life’s hardships can be avoided—but there is one feeling that is impossible to escape.
In the section “The Poet’s Heart,” the writer emphasizes: “The nature of your talent is rebellion.” The “Tale of Selflessness” highlights the bravery of those who did not accept injustice and violence on earth. It presents, for example, the ancient Indian custom of burning a wife along with her deceased husband. At the end of the tale, the poet calls people to fight for truth and emphasizes that one should not fear death on the path of justice.
At the beginning of the “Rebellion” part of the second chapter, the poet introduces it with the words: “Calcutta, 1926.” It depicts a conflict between Hindus and Muslims in Calcutta. Nazrul Islam was wrongly accused of inciting religious hatred, even though it was the invaders who had sparked the conflict. Nazrul’s only “fault” was that he openly spoke the truth to the people and tried to prevent the bloodshed. As a result, he was arrested. This part of the work teaches readers many lessons and encourages them to live with gratitude for the present.
Since the entire poem is dedicated to the memory of Nazrul Islam, the poet does not want to remain a silent observer of the injustices in Nazrul’s homeland. He remembers many others who have also been victims of injustice across the world. He repeatedly emphasizes that it is the ordinary person who suffers the most from the injustice and oppression present in society.

As a visual artist, photographer and painter and also a drawer, I have for very long in my life taken interest in the sacred geometry matter and issues…
Relatively recently, about ten years ago, I took back my geometry studies whilst trying to figure out how can be drawn a close surfaced square after a given circle.
I rapidly found out that if you derive from the unscripted square inside a circle, with your ruler and a compass, to find the two tangent lines in prolongation of this first unscripted square, that are tangent to the circle and form a new square at their intersection : well you have just drawn here very easily a second square, as marked on my figures, which surface is very, very close to the surface of the given circle considered.
Starting from this very interesting new finding, and encouraged by the good acceptance of my drawings by the Parisian mathematics community (Institut Poincaré, CNRS site Curie, etc.) then I went through other reflections about notably the duplication of the cube, the trisection of the angles and the unscripted regular heptagon. With – may I say that – some interesting results, as I was told.
Then I also worked on the various concepts of the « prosperous isosceles triangle » in shapes and relations… And presently I am trying to get back some better algebra notions, in order to get for myself a better understanding and culture of these endless fields of interest that are the mathematical models.
All I did of modest good through my life of work was as a humble and obedient servant of Jesus Christ, Saint Mary, and for my country France.
Some wars are fought without weapons, Without cries of pain or roars of rage. Emotions silently reveal What words fail to express.
Blood-tinged tears that melt on the eyelids Etch the chronicles of such battles. Sometimes, a few words fall like thunderbolts, Shattering the silence. Nightmares, in their chaos, Strike sleep like lightning. Sleepless nights Stand vigil for stone-hearted souls.
Days pass like trains on forgotten tracks. Yet, memories that refuse to leave Wait like lonely stations. Sleepless nights keep rolling by, And hopes — like unreachable grapes — Toss and turn in disturbed dreams.
A sudden tremor Shakes her awake. With courage anew for yet another battle, She sets out again.

Abstract; Inadequate integration of Logistics Information Systems, outdated infrastructure, slow introduction of digital technologies and automation in transportation processes, disruptions in supply chains and increasing transport and logistics costs.
Also, climate change, increased environmental demands and increased energy resources have a direct impact on logistic activities.
In this article, the issue of digitization of services performed by logistic technologies is considered.
Keywords: logistics technology, Transport technology, Time-based logistics (exact time scale logistics), Value added logistics (value added logistics), Virtual logistics (virtual logistics), e-logistics (electronic logistics).
Introduction; the growing interest in modern logistic technologies is determined by the effectiveness of the approach in terms of providing transport services to systems and passengers engaged in material flows and organizing service activities on the basis of modern logistic technologies. At this point, it is necessary to emphasize the relevance of logistics in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the extreme importance of issues of its further development and integration into international levels.

Signs of relevance of logistics for enterprises of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Sign of relevance
Character description
High cost of producing and selling local products
According to various assessments, they are 2-8 times higher than the world level, in most cases, production technologies do not correspond to the requirements of the Times
Periodic lag of the service sector behind the manufacturing sector
• manual labor in trade is equal to 70% ;• the level of mechanization of increase-drop work is 20-30%• • length of time from receiving an order for transportation to its completion
Lack of a well-thought-out strategy for developing a product distribution system, the presence of numerous intermediary structures
* intermediaries, generating transactional costs 2-2. 5 times higher than the initial cost of the product;• underdevelopment of centralized distribution systems by region
Lack of organized large and medium-sized wholesale markets
The number of wholesale intermediaries in Uzbekistan is 0.05 Enterprises per 1 thousand people, for comparison, in the United States this figure is 1.9, and in Japan-3.4
Low level of development of modern information and electronic communication tools
Low or no internet connectivity in remote areas of the republic, lack of or high cost of satellite tracking devices
Transport infrastructure backlog
• The average daily rate of delivery of products in Uzbekistan is 5-6 times lower, and the share of products delivered through terminals is 5-10 times lower;* the average carrying capacity of the main highway is 15 in Uzbekistan t.ga equal, in the USA, France, Sweden, this figure is 25-30t.ni organizes
High level of wear and tear of transport vehicles and infrastructure facilities
• more than 1/3 of highways do not meet modern requirements;• more than 90% of vehicles employed in international freight transport do not meet European environmental standards
Low level of development of the production and technical base of warehouse management
* the area of ¼ part of the warehouses is less than 500 m2;• 12 percent of warehouses have 2/3 of the total warehouse space;• about 30% of the main funds of the warehouse farm are physically and spiritually outdated
Poor development of the industry for the production of modern packaging types
Due to insufficient supply of packaging materials and their poor quality, up to 40 percent of fruits and vegetables are lost every year.
Lack of highly qualified personnel working at international levels in logistics technologies
low quality of education compared to global standards, insufficient development of foreign language communication skills of specialists in remote regions of the republic
These issues are the most pressing ones in their place. As a solution to the problems, such a priority issue as the application of modern logistic technologies in all areas, the development of the transport sector through the digitization of the economy, the radical reform of the personnel training system is laid.
Special attention is paid to digitization measures in order to further develop transport activities in Uzbekistan, increase its prestige in the international services market.
A digital economy is not some kind of different economy that must be created from scratch. This means moving the existing economy into a new system by creating new technologies, platforms and business models and introducing them into everyday life.
Signs of the digital economy:
• high degree of automation;
* Electronic Document Exchange;
* electronic integration of accounting and management systems;
* databases;
* Availability of CRM (customer interaction system;
* corporate networks.
The comforts of the digital economy:
1. Costs for payments are reduced (for example, a trip to the bank and other resources are saved).
2. More and faster information about goods and services is obtained.
3. The opportunities for goods and services in the digital world to enter the world market are great.
4. Due to the rapid acquisition of Fidbek (consumer opinion), goods and services are rapidly improved.
5. Costs for payments are reduced.

Conclusion
In the conditions of today’s global economic development, logistics technologies are taking the field as one of the main factors determining the effectiveness of logistics systems. However, there are also a number of pressing problems in this process: inadequate integration of Logistics Information Systems, outdated infrastructure, slow introduction of digital technologies and automation in transportation processes, disruptions in supply chains and increasing transport and logistics costs.
Also, climate change, increased environmental demands and increased energy resources have a direct impact on logistic activities.
As a solution to these problems, the following measures are important: implementation of digital logistics systems and their integration into a single information space; the use of systems based on modern technologies, including E-logistics, SCM, AI and IoT; ensuring environmental safety by implementing green logistics (Green Logistics) approaches; improving efficiency in cargo transportation through the development of multimodal transport technologies.
Thus, only when modern logistic problems are solved on the basis of a comprehensive approach and innovative technologies, the logistics system achieves high competitiveness and stability.
