Lexicology of Uzbek Language and its Source of Enrichment Training Methodology
Only a small fraction of the Arabic lexicons in the Uzbek dictionary are directly derived from Arabic itself. This assimilation is largely due to the introduction of Islam in Central Asia, the promotion of Arabic as a religious language in schools and madrassas, and most importantly, the acceptance of Arabic as the language of science in the Eastern world. So, the direct derivations from Arabic are mostly from the lexicons of science and religion. Persian has played a major role in the assimilation of many Arabic lexemes into Uzbek. In fact, such lexemes were first translated into Persian and then into Uzbek. Lexemes, which are identified in this way, are mostly names of objects and events that occur in everyday life. Arabic words are often borrowed into Uzbek, to a certain extent, not exactly, but Uzbekised, often adapted to the sounds of the Uzbek language.
Molly Fisk's Poetry: An Ecocritical Study of Selected Poems

THE TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON 21ST-CENTURY LEARNING
The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the educational landscape marks a fundamental paradigm shift, moving beyond mere digitization toward a systemic redefinition of instructional roles. This paper explores the transition from traditional, teacher-centric models to a "Triadic Collaborative Framework" involving the educator, the learner, and AI. Through a qualitative meta-synthesis of literature from 2019–2026, the study evaluates shifts in cognitive load, student agency, and assessment efficacy. While AI offers a scalable solution to the "Two-Sigma Problem" of personalized instruction, it introduces significant risks regarding cognitive atrophy and algorithmic bias. The article concludes that the "Redefined Classroom" requires institutional reform in assessment design and a shift in the teacher’s role toward socio-emotional orchestration.

Preschool Aged the Children's Aesthetic Education Methods: An Integrative Approach and Practical Assessment
This article discusses the theoretical foundations, principles, and practical methods of aesthetic education of preschool children based on an integrative approach. Aesthetic education forms the child's skills in perceiving, feeling, evaluating, and creatively expressing beauty, and serves the development of emotional stability, speech, thinking, and fine motor skills. The methods used were the analysis of normative documents and pedagogical sources, observation of classes, and the modeling of a practical model consisting of the components 'environment-activity-communication evaluation'. As a result, systematic recommendations for the organization of aesthetic education in preschool conditions and an observation-based assessment rubric were proposed.
Opportunities For Developing the Physical Fitness of Students with Disabilities Based on an Individual Approach
This article discusses the possibilities of developing the physical fitness of students with disabilities (students of higher education institutions) based on an individual approach. An individual approach involves adapting physical activity taking into account the student's functional capabilities, health, psychological state, motivation, and study/living conditions. The research methods used were the analysis of regulatory and scientific sources, modeling of physical fitness assessment criteria, and the development of the “screening - functional assessment - SMART goal - program design (FITT) - adaptation - monitoring - replanning” algorithm for higher education conditions. As a result, stages for drawing up an individual plan, organizational and pedagogical conditions for creating an inclusive environment, as well as rubrics and observation sheets for safe dynamic monitoring of physical fitness were proposed. The discussion justified the importance of cooperation with a medical professional, rehabilitation specialist or sports doctor, safety protocols, motivational support, and the use of digital aids in implementing this approach.
Social and Psychological Characteristics of the Worldview of Modern Youth
The article analyzes the socio-psychological characteristics of the worldview of modern youth, its formation factors and diagnostic indicators. The worldview is interpreted as an integrative mental structure consisting of such components as the value system of a young person, social identity, civic position, attitude to the future, and self-awareness in the digital environment. The research methods used were the analysis of scientific literature and normative and strategic documents, conceptual modeling, design of questionnaires and monitoring tools, and expert assessment. As a result, a 5-component model for assessing the worldview of young people (cognitive, value-normative, social-identifying, emotional-evaluative, behavioral-attitudinal) and a set of practical indicators for them were proposed. Also, recommendations were developed for planning prevention and development work in educational institutions, taking into account individual psychological differences, family-community influence, and media-socialization features. The discussion argues that factors such as digitization, globalization, the speed of information flow, and social unrest are intensifying the processes of polarization (conflict of values) and hybridity (harmony of tradition and modernity) in the worldview of young people.
The Role of Tribal Affiliation in Shaping Language Use and Identity Among Southern Iraqi Community
The tribal belonging in southern Iraq is a strong determinant of social organization, relations between people, as well as forming identity. Despite the fact that tribes are also well researched on the anthropology and political sociology field, they have not received much sociolinguistic attention on how they have contributed towards the development of linguistic activities and identity. The paper will discuss how tribal identification affects the language use, dialects, and identity performance among the communities in Basra, Maysan, and Dhi Qar. A mixed ethnographic and variationist sociolinguistic methodology was used, where sociolinguistic interviews, participant observation and language attitude questionnaires were used to collect data on 72 participants of six leading tribes. The results indicate that tribal belonging is an important determinant of phonological, lexical and pragmatic aspects of speech and that speakers are being sensible in their application of the aspects as their identity, solidarity and social differentiation markers. The paper reveals that tribal speech is a symbolic source of identity negotiation and adds to the general debate of language, social identity and community in sociolinguistics.

Moral Disengagement and Engagement in Internet Fraud among Undergraduates in Ignatius Ajuru University of Education
This study examines the relationship between moral disengagement and engagement in internet fraud among undergraduates of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education. The study specifically focused on two subvariables of moral disengagement: moral justification and euphemistic labelling. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, and a sample of 400 undergraduates was selected using stratified random sampling from the university population of 11,500 students. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The reliability of the instrument was confirmed through a pilot study, yielding Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of 0.82, 0.79, and 0.85 for moral disengagement, moral engagement, and internet fraud sections, respectively. Findings revealed that both moral justification (r = 0.612, p < 0.05) and euphemistic labelling (r = 0.534, p < 0.05) were positively and significantly related to engagement in internet fraud. This indicates that undergraduates who rationalize or soften the perception of fraudulent acts are more likely to participate in online fraud. The study concluded that moral disengagement mechanisms play a crucial role in shaping students’ engagement in internet fraud, highlighting the need for interventions that enhance moral awareness and accountability. Based on the findings, it was recommended that ethics education, digital literacy programs, workshops, peer mentoring, and parental involvement be strengthened to mitigate fraudulent online behaviours among undergraduates. The study contributes to understanding the psychological processes underlying cybercrime among Nigerian tertiary students and provides insights for policy and educational strategies aimed at promoting ethical online conduct.

Linguistic Analysis of Hyponymic And Radiation Relations in The System of Archaeological Terminology
This article examines the lexical-semantic system of archaeological terminology from a systemic and structural linguistic perspective. The study focuses on hyponymic, hyperonymic, and radiation-based relations that organize the hierarchical structure of archaeological concepts. It is argued that archaeological terminology forms multi-level semantic microsystems characterized by differential features and taxonomic classification. The research demonstrates that terminological units function not only as nominative means but also as conceptual mechanisms modeling scientific knowledge within the discipline. The findings highlight the interaction between thematic classification and logical hierarchy in the organization of archaeological terminology.
