Developing balance stability in young taekwondo athletes using vestibulosomatic exercises Soyib Tajibaev, Bektosh Rakhmatov, Makhmud Akhmatov, Dilshodbek Mamajonov, Ganisher Ismoilov, et al. Slobozhanskyi Herald of Science and Sport, 2025 Background and Study Aim. Balance plays a crucial role in enhancing technical skills and strike accuracy in combat sports, particularly in taekwondo. Sustaining static balance in the "yopchagi" (side kick) and "apchagi" (front kick) positions, as well as maintaining dynamic balance during rapid movements with sharp directional changes (rotational and torsional accelerations), is fundamental for executing accurate strikes in taekwondo competitions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a vestibulosomatic exercise program in improving static and dynamic balance stability, as well as strike accuracy, in adolescent taekwondo athletes during the execution of "yopchagi" (side kick) and "apchagi" (front kick) under visual and non-visual conditions. Materials and methods. The experiment included a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG), each composed of 12 taekwondo athletes aged 15–16. Both groups trained 12 times per week following a set schedule: from 8:30 to 10:45 in the mor
Climate-Induced Extreme Weather Events and their Effects on the Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Diseases Nargiza Nurillaeva, Manzura Ashurova, Nigina Khalikova, Khulkar Kasimova, Mamajonov Dilshodbek Adxamovich, et al. Journal of Animal Environment, 2025 Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is a developing global health epidemic that becomes more severe, and its consequences are disproportionately borne by vulnerable subpopulations. The most susceptible group of these is the elderly population, which is highly prone to cardiovascular (CV) outcomes of extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves and harsh cold. To devise effective adaptation mechanisms, it is essential to understand the pathogenesis behind the development of the climate-induced CV disease. The main processes connecting severe temperatures with the CV pathology are complicated and many-sided. There are a number of regulatory pathways that are initiated by exposure to non-optimal temperatures. These consist of increased temperature-sympathetic reactivity and cold-activated renin-angiotensin system. Heat exposure may result in dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, and cause systemic inflammatory responses by heat stroke, whereas cold exposure provokes peripheral vasoconstriction, thereby affecting the myocardial oxygen supply-demand relationship. The worsening of risk is also caused by high temperature, which increases the platelet volume and blood viscosity. Furthermore, air pollution caused by climate change is a cofactor, and the delicate particulate matter is associated with pro-arrhythmic effects, e.g., atrial fibrillation, and systemic whole-body inflammation. High mortality and morbidity rates of the elderly in the net clinical outcome include increased incidences of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure (HF), and cardiac arrhythmias. Extreme weather also disrupts animal ecosystems, with heatwaves and cold stress causing mass wildlife mortality, altered migration patterns, and changes in disease-carrying animal behavior. These ecological disturbances reflect the broader biological impact of temperature extremes and reinforce how environmental instability compounds cardiovascular risk in elderly populations. As an example, in literature, the variability of temperature, the extent of which is the diurnal temperature range (DTR), was identified as having a significant impact on HF admission rates in older patients during cold seasons. This residual CV risk needs to be reduced with an urgent requirement for a cross-disciplinary approach that cuts across individual care through systemic interventions in the form of improving early warning mechanisms and policy interventions in health education.
THE FACULTYMAX MODEL FOR ENHANCING FACULTY PERFORMANCE AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Abdusamiev Dilmurod Abdugani Ugli, Mamajonov Dilshodbek Adxamovich, Ortikov Elyor Abdumajidovich, Bekmirzayev Mirjalol Xusanboy Ugli, Abdullayeva Shakhnoza Anvarovna Archives for Technical Sciences, 2025 Academic excellence is highly valued by faculty performance. The conventional faculty review systems tend to fail to give a holistic evaluation of faculty input in teaching, research, and service. FacultyMax Model is a multidimensional framework presented in this paper to improve the performance of the faculty based on the data analysis, incessant feedback, and professional growth. The main objective of this research is to investigate how well and how the FacultyMax Model can be implemented to enhance the faculty performance in a mid-sized university. In particular, the research examines its effects on the quality of teaching, the output of research, and the involvement of faculty in service activities. The mixed-method research design was used, which involved the integration of both quantitative and qualitative indicators (teaching evaluations, research output, and service contribution), and the qualitative data (peer reviews, self-assessment, and stakeholder reviews) were observed. Data was gathered with 320 members of the faculty in three academic departments during one academic year. The use of the FacultyMax Model led to a 15 % improvement in the teaching evaluation scores, 22 % growth in research publications, and improved faculty involvement in service activities. These results indicate that the model is an effective measure of creating changes in faculty performance that can be measured. FacultyMax Model is a comprehensive, evidence-based faculty performance review system that leads to the achievement of academic excellence and institutional development. This also has to be studied in the future to determine its long-term effects and its usability in various institutional settings.
