Freedom

A word 

Who has all the meaning of…

This is happiness 

This is harmony 

This is respect 

But what we do

Humans are killing humans 

Humans are manipulating humans

Freedom,

A game between two birds without wings

Freedom,

A hope inside two hungry stomachs …

Freedom,

Elefteria

A sun waiting to rise…..

In our days 

In our century 

We are in need of second educational system 

Re write new words 

Or learn the meaning of the old one

Short story from Sardar Makhmudova


A New Year Adventure

Once upon a time, in a small, snowy village nestled between towering mountains, there was a young girl named Mia who loved New Year’s more than anything. The village was known for its magical New Year celebrations, where the streets were decorated with thousands of sparkling lights, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of fresh pine trees.

One year, Mia heard an old legend about the “Midnight Star,” a mysterious star that only appeared on New Year’s Eve, guiding those who truly believed in the magic of the season to a hidden treasure. The treasure, according to the story, was not gold or jewels but something far more precious — a magical wish that could come true.

Mia decided to find the Midnight Star and discover the treasure for herself. As the clock ticked closer to midnight on New Year’s Eve, she bundled up in her warmest coat, grabbed a small lantern, and set out into the snowy night. The village was alive with music and laughter, but Mia’s heart was set on her adventure.

She walked through the village square, past the frozen fountain, and into the dense forest that bordered the village. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting long shadows on the ground. Suddenly, Mia saw a flicker of light high above her. Could it be the Midnight Star?

Mia’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she followed the light, climbing up a steep hill. As she reached the top, she saw it — the Midnight Star, shining brightly in the sky. But just below it, there was something even more magical: a giant, glowing tree with silver leaves that shimmered like diamonds. Underneath the tree was a small wooden chest.

Mia approached the chest with awe. She had found it — the treasure! But as she opened it, she was surprised to find not gold or jewels, but a simple note written in elegant handwriting: “The true treasure is the joy and love you bring to others.”

Mia smiled, realizing that the real magic of New Year’s was not about getting something for herself, but about sharing happiness with those around her. She rushed back to the village, where she hugged her family, shared stories, and spread warmth and joy to everyone she met.

That night, as the clock struck midnight, the entire village gathered in the square, their faces glowing with joy and laughter. Mia looked up at the sky, and for a brief moment, she saw the Midnight Star twinkle brightly above the village, as if acknowledging her discovery.

From that year on, Mia carried the magic of the Midnight Star in her heart, always remembering that the greatest treasure of all was the love and kindness shared with others. And every New Year’s Eve, she would take a moment to look up at the sky, knowing that the Midnight Star would always guide her toward the true meaning of the holiday.

And so, the legend of the Midnight Star lived on, not just as a story, but as a reminder of the real magic that filled the world — the magic of love, kindness, and hope.

Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee

Home

A stately home of decorated lamps
The wall blew of homegrown facts
A limerick of two penced walls
A mark on the wall, a safeguard of rubbles
A thick mossed cottage, a writing on home
Homegrown homesickness around my gaze
The sea shore of shattered lamps a pain in my left bruise
I know not yonder thee a maverick lost canopy
Molten raindrops abound thy skin 
The flower grew among starlit bones 
It asks for home too 
A nihilist pain staking twofold grimace
A soft paced milkywave to land my moonwalled trance. 

Poem by Kalipada Ghosh

LOVE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Oh, what a joy!

What an ecstatic joy!

Christmas is knocking at the door with splendor and delight,

mirth and merriment.

Men, women and children are in Christmas spirit

The church bell ringing

Cakes are to be served…All are in high spirits

Santa Claus visits every house and fills children’s stockings with Christmas presents.

Oh, the good shepherd Jesus Christ!

The light of the world

Redeeming mankind With love and kindness.

Thou art kind and merciful

Thou art the Saviour of mankind

Thou art the messenger of Love and peace

Forgiveness is your soul’s cry.”

Love thy neighbour as thyself.”

Be kind and merciful to everyone.

Thou art the Light and Love

Embodiment of Love and Truth

Faith and Hope to be restored

Love will conquer the world

Love is worship and it’ll bring peace to humanity.

Essay from Mahammadjonov Saidjahon Shokirjon ogli and Mirzamansurova Robiya Ahmadjon qizi

COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF MECHANICAL AND BIOPROSTHETIC HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT

Mahammadjonov Saidjahon Shokirjon ogli

Mirzamansurova Robiya Ahmadjon qiz

iKokand University, Andijan BranchFaculty of General MedicineAbstractHeart valves are essential anatomical structures that ensure unidirectional blood flow within the heart. In cases of valve insufficiency or stenosis, replacement surgery becomes a crucial intervention in modern cardiac surgery. Two primary types of prosthetic valves are used today: mechanical valves and bioprosthetic valves. Both types have distinct advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on factors such as patient age, health status, risk of thrombosis, and quality-of-life considerations.

Introduction to Heart Valves

Heart valves are vital anatomical and physiological structures responsible for maintaining the unidirectional flow of blood. Located between the chambers of the heart, they prevent backflow and ensure smooth circulatory function.

Main functions of heart valves:Maintaining one-way blood flowPreventing regurgitationSupporting efficient and coordinated heart functionCommon heart valve disorders:1. Stenosis — narrowing of the valve opening (e.g., aortic stenosis)2. Regurgitation — incomplete closure leading to backwar blood flow (e.g., mitral regurgitation)These conditions may lead to cardiac overload, impaired hemodynamics, and heart failure, often requiring valve replacement surgery.Indications for Valve ReplacementMitral stenosisAortic regurgitationSevere valve prolapseCongenital valve defectsInfective endocarditis with structural destructionBioprosthetic Heart ValvesBioprosthetic valves are typically manufactured from animal-derived tissues (e.g., bovine pericardium) and are widely used in cardiovascular surgery. They are associated with lower thrombotic risk compared to mechanical valves and therefore require minimal anticoagulation therapy.

Advantages:

Lower risk of thromboembolismReduced need for long-term anticoagulationImproved physiological compatibilityBetter quality of life in many patientsDisadvantages:Limited durability (typically 10–20 years)Higher risk of degeneration in younger patientsPossible need for reoperationEffectiveness of Bioprosthetic Valves

Clinical Effectiveness

Provide adequate hemodynamics and restore normal blood flow

Reduce symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue

Improve long-term quality of life

Statistical Data:Average durability: 10–20 years

Reoperation risk increases afte 10 years, especially in younger patients

Physiology of the Human Heart

Heart activity is based on rhythmic myocardial contractions. Systole refers to contraction, whereas diastole refers to relaxation. Cardiac impulses originate from the sinoatrial node (60–80 impulses per minute), then spread through the atria, AV node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers, leading to coordinated contraction of ventricles.

The cardiac cycle includes: Atrial systoleVentricular systole Diastole (joint relaxation phase)During atrial contraction, blood moves into the ventricles; during ventricular systole, semilunar valves open to eject blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery.

Comparison Between Mechanical and Bioprosthetic Valves

Research Findings: Studies show that mechanical valves have a lower reoperation rate, but require lifelong anticoagulation therapy, increasing the risk of bleeding.Meta-analysis indicates that in patients aged 50–70 years, survival is higher with mechanical valves.In patients above 70 years, bioprosthetic valves are preferred due to reduced anticoagulation requirements and lower bleeding risk.Postoperative outcomes (stroke, bleeding, infection) show no significant difference between the two groups immediately after surgery.Reoperation is significantly more common in the bioprosthetic group due to structural valve deterioration.

Summary of Key Differences: Feature Mechanical Valves Bioprosthetic Valves Durability Very long (20–30+ years) Moderate (10–20 years) Anticoagulation Lifelong Short-term or none Thrombosis Risk Higher Lower Reoperation Risk Low HigherBest for Younger patients Older (>70 years) or anticoagulation-intolerant patients

Conclusion Heart valves are crucial structures maintaining unidirectional blood flow and supporting efficient cardiac function. Disorders such as stenosis and regurgitation can severely impair heart performance, necessitating valve replacement surgery.Both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves play an essential role in modern cardiac surgery.Mechanical valves provide long-term durability but require lifelong anticoagulation.Bioprosthetic valves offer better physiological compatibility and lower thrombotic risk but have a limited lifespan.Current research supports the use of bioprosthetic valves in elderly patients, while mechanical valves remain preferable for younger individuals requiring long-term durability.Valve replacement significantly improves cardiac function, reduces symptoms of heart failure, and enhances overall quality of life, making it one of the most important and progressive fields in cardiovascular surgery.

Essay from To’raqulova Pokiza Sanjarovna

Termiz University of Economics and Service

Student: To‘raqulova Pokiza

Abstract: Sustainability-oriented green transformation is considered an important concept in the development of modern society. It aims to integrate ecological, social, and economic systems, ensure the rational use of natural resources, and reduce negative environmental impacts.

Uzbekistan is implementing significant measures to align with global sustainability goals. The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan pays special attention to ecological rights, ensuring that citizens not only have the right to a favorable environment but also to access reliable information about its condition. It was emphasized that the efforts of the Parliament and Government of Uzbekistan to ensure sustainable development—particularly environmental security—are being carried out with the active involvement of the public, and that innovative ideas and initiatives in this area play a significant role in combating climate change.

In 2008, the United Nations introduced the Green Economy Initiative (GEI) to strengthen the efforts of countries to increase investment in the environment. Priority is being given to modernizing the environmental monitoring system, which allows comprehensive solutions to existing problems. Clusters for the integrated management of solid household waste have been created by introducing technologies for recycling and utilization through public-private partnerships.It should be noted that the perception of sustainable development and the “green” economy, as well as ways of shaping it, varies across countries.

Although many nations are implementing programs based on the principles of the green economy, methodological approaches—including indicators and metrics—differ significantly among the European Union, North America, the Asia-Pacific region, and CIS countries. Achieving success in implementing sustainability based on the green economy largely depends on analyzing and generalizing global experiences in sustainable development, as well as designing measures tailored to each country’s unique characteristics.

Generalizing the experiences of various countries in sustainable development implies adapting the principles of the green economy and their implementation to national contexts. The main goal is to strengthen three key integrated approaches to sustainable development: economic growth, social development, and environmental protection.International experience demonstrates that the green economy stimulates regional development, supports social stability, and contributes to increased economic potential by creating new jobs in green sectors. The green economy helps promote economic progress, ensures GDP growth, increases national income, provides employment, and lowers the unemployment rate.

Today, the green economy is studied as a new branch of the economy that helps improve the natural environment of the country. In scientific literature, it is viewed as new technologies and ecosystems that support nature and generate economic benefits. The green economy represents a transition to a new stage of development aimed at producing environmentally friendly products, with the foundation built on clean or green technologies.Industrial enterprises in Uzbekistan are striving to introduce technologies aimed at energy efficiency and the effective use of resources. This process helps ensure environmental safety in industry and increases economic efficiency.

Moreover, industrial enterprises are implementing projects focused on recycling waste and producing goods from recycled materials. These efforts help reduce environmental impact and promote resource efficiency.

Uzbekistan is actively studying the experience of many foreign countries in the field of the green economy, and numerous measures are being taken within the framework of “greening” as part of national environmental policy. In particular, the shrinking of major river basins and the decline of biodiversity in the region raise serious concerns. Increased emissions of greenhouse gases and large-scale atmospheric pollution continue to exacerbate problems.

Today, no one doubts that achieving the goals of green development requires more active and effective action by countries.The green economy is an economic system whose main purpose is to preserve the planet’s ecology while developing all sectors of the economy. The green economy increases national welfare, ensures the rational use of energy resources, reduces harmful emissions, and decreases environmental costs. It is emphasized that the green economy represents a vector of sustainable development based on innovative green technologies. These technologies focus on energy and resource efficiency, as well as reducing carbon-based energy sources.

Under the initiative to ensure the transition to a green economy and establish a mechanism for assessing green growth, it is important to determine the level and coherence of activities being implemented, identify the scope and boundaries of their impact, and assess potential risks and possible negative consequences (such as pollution and ecosystem degradation).

Several indices have been developed globally to evaluate the effectiveness of countries’ efforts in the green economy. One of them is the Global Green Economy Index (GGEI), which assesses the participation of nations based on several indicators.The issue of sustainable development exists in two main directions.The first direction involves determining the development goals of society and identifying conditions necessary to achieve them.

According to the hierarchy of sustainable development goals, economic goals are positioned below societal development goals, meaning they are viewed as tools for ensuring overall sustainability.The second direction involves studying the conditions and factors that ensure sustainable economic development: determining its parameters and factors, assessing its balance, conditions, and criteria of optimality, and studying growth opportunities.

Unlike the green economy, the traditional “brown” economy is based on energy-intensive and resource-consuming production models. The transition from the traditional model of economic growth to the green economy is a global trend, determining the sustainability not only of individual national economies but also of the entire world economy. Promoting the green economy is the main path toward development.
