WE ARE AGAINST CORRUPTION

 AHMADJONOVA MUSLIM

 Student of the Faculty of Philology

 Abstract: This article discusses the fact that corruption is a powerful force that threatens the future of society and the nation and its history.

 Key words: corrumpo, “Unbiased gifts”, Holy Qur’an, Hadith-Sharif, HEMS program,

 Being is created so that it always keeps two contradictions in its bosom. For example, qualities such as good and bad, goodness and writing, justice and injustice are always alive in people. They cannot be completely destroyed, indeed, but we have the ability to prevent their occurrence.

 Corruption is a powerful force that threatens the future of society and nation. It did not appear today or a few years ago. Its roots go back to the scenes of history. First of all, if we focus on the meaning of this word, Corruption – (Latin: corrumpo – bribery) is the practice of directly abusing the rights granted by an official for the purposes of personal enrichment. . It is completely wrong to think that there was no corruption in the past centuries, because we can see various forms and traces of corruption. Although it was not formed as paper money, since ancient times, jewelry, gold and silver, or animals were “gifted” to high-ranking people in order to gain power in the tribe or to occupy a certain position in the state system. If we look at the past of ancient Rome, even people were among these gifts. “Impartial gifts” destroyed not only human dignity, but also the entire society.

Although it was not called corruption in those times, historical sources testify that this process has existed since ancient times When a person commits to this cruel and terrible vice, he destroys not only himself, but also all the people around him.  An example of corruption is like a spider’s web.  Any insect caught in its web becomes food for the spider, and it is impossible to get rid of it.  It should be noted that this harmful phenomenon occurs in all countries, regardless of whether they are big or small, rich or poor. It does not choose space or time.

 There is no turning back for a person who steps into corruption, so who doesn’t like gifts and money that come without hard work?  Only a person with faith and education can know that such things are forbidden.  This phenomenon is turning into a vice as time goes by.  This vice is the cause of impoverishment of a person not only materially, but also spiritually.  What will be the future of young people who grew up eating the dirty food!?  Aren’t these young people the future of society and nation?  So, we are really ruining our future with our own hands!!  A true Muslim who adheres to the duties and sunnahs of his religion, who has acquired manners and education, does not step into bribery, the so-called corruption.  It was also revealed in the Holy Qur’an, which was the word of God: “Do not take other people’s property unjustly and do not bribe your governors from your property to take what belongs to others.”  Even the Bible says: “Do not accept gifts, because a gift makes the blind see and changes the truth.”  In the Hadith-Sharifat, it is mentioned that the bribe giver and those who receive it are cursed, and even the person who acts as an intermediary in the bribe will be cursed by God.

 Corruption destroys the nation’s destiny and national identity.  It prevents young people from being confident about the future.  People’s trust in the state will die.  A person who has been wronged somewhere, affected by corruption, may not return to this place at all, or he may return to this place intentionally to establish justice.

 Prevention and fight against corruption today a lot of work is being done.  In particular, on October 14, 2016, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the bill “Combating Corruption” by the Oliy Majlis and entered into force on January 4, 2017.  A lot of work has been done in the education system, which is close to us and not far away.  For example, a new system has been devised in this field to prevent bribery and embezzlement of grades in the educational process.  All higher education institutions were gradually transferred to the credit-module system, and today in schools the daily.com program, and in higher education institutions, the HEMS program continues to work and provides transparency in the educational processes of many of our young people.  It is no exaggeration to say that these programs, which also ensure the effectiveness of teaching, have established justice in this field.  Such and many other effective works are spreading throughout our society and entering the soul of the people and the nation.  All methods are being used to fight corruption, as if it is not an area where corruption has not penetrated, and effective results are being obtained.

 If the movement is done from two sides, not from one side, the finish line will be reached faster.  In other words, we cannot fight corruption only through state bodies and effective laws.  Implementation of these laws is not only the responsibility of the state, but also of us.  It is the duty of every educated and moral person to eliminate corruption where we see it, not to touch it and not to step on this path, and by developing legal awareness throughout the society and acquainting each person with his personal rights.  we will have eliminated the initial stage of corruption.

 We young people are against corruption.  We will create a just and great future, and on this way, the President’s trust in us young people, as well as every action they take for our people, the decisions they make, and our Constitution, which is the source of our happiness, will be the guide.  Let’s fight corruption together.  Together we will become an invincible force!

Essay from Sitora Mamatqosimova

One day in class…

As Allah bestows great miracles on our hearts, we need to live with a sense of gratitude for this blessing. gives…

I still remember the first day I came to work at the great dargah called the school… As I entered the door of this dargah, whose threshold is the paths of the paradise of knowledge, I was very proud to be a student of my grandmother, whose places are from heaven in my heart, and my kind teacher mother.

From the door of the classroom, I heard the excited shouts of the students: “Here, a new teacher has arrived.” I was happy with this call… We started the lesson with the young generation who always honors their homeland and discovers new aspects of creativity in themselves. First of all, I got to know the students.

During the lesson, only one student caught my attention. Congratulations, as you can see, there are always students who are not interested in class and do not complete their homework on time. And, I have come to a decision. As I got to know him better, I made sure that he also has interests and dreams. My student is interested in mother tongue, science, English. In his free time, he likes to draw and read art books. While he was talking to me, sweat covered his forehead, I felt that he was thinking about his words and talking shyly.

So, I found out that my student is shy and shy, he doesn’t even have a close friend. My classmates also confirmed my opinion. From that day on, I started helping my student with his homework, under the pretext of trying to get to know him better. And I always told him that he is not inferior to his friends, that he should always strive forward, believe in his own strength and knowledge. I dealt with the student. If you believe now, this student has become the most active student of the school. In particular, I was able to awaken in his heart a feeling of interest in special creativity. Nowadays, this student does not like to write wonderful poems and stories from each other. These are the words…

PROSPECTS OF USING GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SOURCES IN UZBEKISTAN 

Student of Tashkent State Agrarian University
Kadyrova Arofat Abdukarimovna

This article talks about the importance of using geothermal energy sources in the conditions of Uzbekistan. Information is given about the basis of the widespread use of alternative energy sources, not traditional energy sources, their current state, and the reforms and news that are being carried out in this regard in our country.Today, we are living in a time where modern new age generations and innovative and digital technologies that require almost no manual labor are progressing and growing. It can be seen from this that the machines that make our heavy work light, our complex work easy and even our long journey closer now require energy. They now run on electricity instead of gasoline. 

First of all, one thing should be emphasized: "We cannot imagine our life without electricity."

Today, no matter what the field is, electricity is needed. Due to the many actions being carried out now, our development is developing day by day, and the lifestyle of our people is improving more and more. It is worth noting that the adoption of the strategy of supplying the country with electricity until 2030 in our Republic is of great importance for further development, efficient use of alternative energy sources and development of technologies. According to the strategy, it is planned to increase the production capacity of electricity from 5900MW to 29200MW by 2030 and to reduce the consumption of natural gas and reduce the losses in electricity transmission as much as possible.

According to the concept, the consumption of natural gas in the production of electricity will be reduced from 16.5 billion cubic meters to 12.1 billion cubic meters. This plan includes reduction of losses in electricity transmission by 2.35% and in distribution by 6.5%.
Now we will talk about where and how we get electricity. 

We know that we receive electricity in a traditional way, that is, through TPPs. TPP stands for Thermal Power Plant. In thermal power plants, thermal energy is converted into electrical energy and transmitted to us through power transformers. And this borad will suffer many losses until it reaches our home. In particular, this happens in a large unit at the station itself. Thermal power plants operate mainly by burning coal, natural gas and fuel oil. These fuels are sources of energy that are running out. One of the harmful aspects of thermal power plants is large energy losses, and another is a very negative impact on the environment. The toxic gases emitted from it go up into the sky and poison our ecology, harming the natural air, and there is also the problem of disposal of the waste from it. 

However, its advantage is that it is much cheaper than other types of energy production, which is why we have electricity at the expense of TPPs. However, by now, traditional methods are being abandoned in the developed countries of the world. Therefore, the use of renewable energy sources remains very effective.
The use of alternative energy sources can be a little expensive, but it is not harmful. That is, it can be obtained without harming the environment. In this regard, many innovations and reforms are being carried out in this regard in our country. In particular, the verdict of our honorable president Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev "On measures to accelerate the introduction of renewable energy sources and energy-saving technologies in 2023" can be cited. 

The effect of the words said in the verdict can be seen in the example of Bukhara region. 

In accordance with the verdict, the first turbine with a height of 100 meters and a blade length of 84 meters was erected in Bukhara region this year as part of the construction of a wind power plant. There are 157 more installations from this device. The first capacities of the stations are expected to be put into operation in 2024.

Now, let's talk about geothermal energy. This type of energy is an alternative and renewable energy. Geothermal energy is heat energy in the earth's crust, which comes from the earth's crust and radioactive decay. That is, simply put, artesian water or hot spring. We know that from somewhere in the mountainous regions of our republic, when water comes out, it turns into a sanatorium and it is said that there is a hot spring. 

So, how promising is the use of geothermal energy sources in our country? Of course, it is promising, because Uzbekistan is a country with huge reserves of water, which is a source of geothermal energy. It has been determined that there are geothermal waters in every part of its regions. Scientific research shows that the average gradient of geothermal waters in our country is 40C/km. The heat vapor flow is equal to 0.06 W/m2. Compared to annual indicators, the gross potential of geothermal waters in our country is estimated at 160.8 thousand tons of oil energy. 

Of course, we cannot get electricity directly through this energy, but it is being done in other countries, why can't we do it now? Our exact location may not be rich in active volcanic zones, but that doesn't mean it's just accessible. After all, it is possible to find a solution if you do as much research as possible. If water at a certain depth, i.e. 300 or more depth, is brought to the surface of the earth and heated through specially insulated turbines, it will certainly be possible to obtain electricity from it, and this will certainly become one of the major changes in the field of green energy in our country. 

Of course, environmentally safe and most importantly clean renewable energy.

In conclusion, it can be said that in the current developing period, I think we should not get tired of working on new scientific researches and new discoveries. Because no matter what we do, we find easy ways and implement them in order to satisfy our needs and our own comfortable life and safety, and all this is only for ourselves, for the comfortable and healthy lifestyle of the new generation. Therefore, we should not stop searching. 



Poetry from Michael Joseph

THE LONG SIDEWALK

The sidewalk is long. 

You can’t see to the end of it. 

At first, you figure it’s just perspective, 

but as you move along it, 

the sidewalk physically narrows. 

Soon you find there is no room 

for you to turn around. 

So you keep walking forward, 

the only way you can go. 

The sidewalk borders  

a dark woods to one side; 

a swift river to the other. 

A misstep could plunge you helplessly into either. 

The narrowing continues until

you have to take your steps single file, 

one foot directly in front of the other. 

Further on, the sidewalk turns sideways, 

merging into the horizon, 

a line you must tread like a tightrope, 

lest you plunge helplessly 

into the future or the past.

Poetry from Ahmad Al-Khatat

Espresso and Tequila 


Like espresso and tequila our
love is a warm thirst to the spirit.
You make me remember all of 
the blessings and memories we have.

Dreaming of you is as a lover 
flying above a sky made of water.
Your scent is the air of lusty touch,
and the breathe for the thirsty tongue.

The world is made from a beautiful star,
so your heart must be my homeland.
We kissed and cuddled on the longest 
night of the year, we didn’t open wounds. 

Don’t measure, just break my boundaries.
This pack of cigarettes heals me from my 
my long glowing silence and rusty misery.
Take a sip of my liquor and smile on my aches.



In The Midst Of My Sorrows 

When I write about freedom, it’s not 
not a statement against any civilian.
Bullets and gravestones made me laugh 
about how my grandpa judge life as a joke. 

My friend tells me that I should learn to 
say no, does that mean I should under_
_line every drunken moments of loneliness,
and turn them into a thick hanging cords.  

My name never appears on your readings,
Some soft hands have become more dusty 
I wonder if I should leave and let them inhale
all the leftover breathes of this mad universe.

There is no hope from the past, but why do
I need to feel optimistic about today’s battles?
With both of my hands, I’m writing day and night 
of how relaxing I am not in the midst of my sorrows.

Poetry from Annie Johnson

Light skinned woman with curly white hair and a floral top.

Kiss of the Morning Wind 

The timelessness of the horizon 
And the endless joy of becoming 
Part of humanity’s quiet overtures; 
Ringing in the quiet mornings 
Like bells in life’s carillon towers. 
All the depth of love and caring 
Steps forth on the balcony of life; 
Singing in the voice of ageless beauty 
Sending arias of love to far off stars; 
And walking among the lilies in gardens, 
Wild with nature’s indescribable beauty 
Caressing the souls of callous dreamers 
Who hum to the birds of first light. 
Awaken now, sweet youth of dawn 
Hold the day like a newborn child, 
Tenderly aware of its fragile beauty; 
Treasure every hour; every moment 
Life smiles on your ageless face; 
Savor the warmth of love’s sweetness 
When the morning wind kisses your lips. 


Beyond Now 

Night enfolds me like your arms in my dreams. 
Shadows whisper with the echoes of your voice
 Nearly asleep in heavens far from reaching; 
But waiting; waiting; searching the brightness 
Of distant stars singing past me in night’s stillness. 
Heaven is but a word – silent and deep, beautiful 
Beyond earthly hopes and cares, a place 
Of lovelight shining from your eyes, touching 
The core of life with the fingertips of desire 
To be with you in mists spanning time; 
Spanning thought; being bound to you 
In ways of the soul and the timelessness 
Of an ever-expanding completeness 
Of infinity’s ways to conquer time 
And be with you beyond this vale of now.

Diyora Kholmatjonova


I am not a person who is easily forgotten

One day I will go, I will go to the sky
The distant sky is calling me.
But you will write my name in your heart
I am not a person who is easy to forget.

I will never leave you alone without disappearing in your dreams
You heart is broken, there is no cure.
But you won't find it, then it's too late
I am not a person who is easy to forget 

When those you trust leave you
When your heart is broken by the unfaithful.
You still remember a lot when your heart beats
I am not a person who is easy to forget

One day they will pierce your heart like a blade,
Missing hurts your heart every day.
But it will be late now, I won't be there that day
I am not a person who is easy to forget.

You can't let it go now,
You can't take your eyes off of me.
It's never too late, you can't forget.
I am not a person who is easy to forget
