MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURAL FEATURES HEARTS IN MINERAL METABOLISM DISORDERS
type: item
description: Disturbances in mineral metabolism (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and sodium) play a key role in the formation of structural and functional changes in the myocardium. Deficiency or excess of certain macro- and microelements leads to disruption of cardiomyocyte ion homeostasis, imbalance in calcium channel activity, and alterations in depolarization and repolarization processes. This is accompanied by morphological changes in cardiac tissue, including cardiomyocyte dystrophy and necrosis, interstitial edema, stromal sclerosis, and myocardial remodeling. Prolonged mineral metabolism disorders contribute to myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, microcirculatory disturbances, and accelerated development of heart failure. Of particular importance are changes in calcium-phosphorus metabolism, which are closely associated with endocrine regulation (parathyroid hormones, vitamin D), as well as potassium-magnesium imbalance, which directly affects the contractile function of the heart. Studying the morphological mechanisms of cardiac structural damage in mineral imbalance provides prospects for pathogenetically based prevention and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF GASOLINE FUEL EVAPORATION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES WITHIN TANK TRUCKS
type: item
description: This study provides an experimental simulation of the evaporation from the gasoline fuel in truck-tanks, which are subjected to high-temperature summer weather-like conditions, such as those found in Iraq. A 50 L capacity stainless-steel tank of controlled environment with 20 L commercial RON 95 gasoline content was used to analyze the thermal loading impact on fuel vapor pressure, mass loss and volumetric changes in three different temperatures (30, 50 and 70 °C). Mission measurements recorded over a 6 h period have shown a strong positive relationship between temperature and evaporative losses; vapor pressure increased from 30 to 80 kPa and mass loss, for example, rose from 50 g to 225 g and volume loss increased from approximately.062 L to.27 L. These results illustrate the exponential effect of thermal stresses on gasoline, indicating that it is possible for tank-truck fuel to become dangerously pressurized and experience considerable financial loss when exposed to high temperatures. The results emphasize the importance for enhanced thermal management, insulation and safety facilities in fuel transfer systems where hot climates are prevailing.

NATIONAL-CULTURAL AND PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF EUPHEMISMS AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN REPRESENTING SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED GROUPS IN UZBEK
type: item
description: This study examines the national-cultural and pragmatic features of euphemisms and politically correct expressions used to represent socially disadvantaged groups in the Uzbek language. Drawing on a corpus of media texts, governmental documents, and public discourse, the research explores how lexical choices, politeness strategies, and cultural norms influence the way sensitive social categories-such as people with disabilities, low-income communities, and marginalized minorities-are described. The findings demonstrate that Uzbek employs a rich set of culturally embedded euphemisms that reflect traditional values of respect, collectivism, and social harmony. Pragmatically, the discourse reveals strong tendencies toward face-saving strategies, indirectness, and the avoidance of explicit negative labeling. These linguistic patterns not only soften socially sensitive references but also reinforce cultural ideals of dignity and inclusivity. The study concludes that euphemisms and political correctness in Uzbek are shaped by both evolving global norms and deeply rooted national-cultural frameworks, highlighting the need for greater linguistic transparency and sensitivity in public communication.

STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEW ON THE INFLUENCE OF FIN GEOMETRY ON AIR-SIDE HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP IN COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGERS
type: item
description: This review comprehensively examines the influence of fin geometry on the thermo-hydraulic performance of compact heat exchangers (CHEs), emphasizing both plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHEs) and printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs). The study integrates findings from experimental investigations, numerical simulations, and analytical correlations to elucidate the relationship between fin configuration, heat transfer enhancement, and pressure loss. For PFHEs, louvered fins demonstrated superior heat transfer augmentation but incurred high pressure penalties, while perforated and wavy fins provided balanced performance with moderate hydraulic losses. In PCHEs, channel topology—ranging from straight and zigzag to wavy, S-shaped, and airfoil fins—significantly influenced flow distribution and overall efficiency. Straight channels offered minimal pressure drop yet limited enhancement, whereas zigzag and wavy geometries improved convective mixing and thermal uniformity. S-shaped fins effectively mitigated reverse flow and reduced pressure loss by up to fivefold, and airfoil fins achieved optimal thermal–hydraulic synergy with superior flow stability. Empirical and semi-empirical correlations for Nusselt number, friction factor, and Colburn j-factor were reviewed and compared across various Reynolds number regimes. The findings underscore that optimal fin geometry selection is critical to balancing heat transfer augmentation with hydraulic efficiency, making advanced PCHE designs—especially wavy, S-shaped, and airfoil configurations—promising candidates for supercritical CO₂ Brayton cycles, molten-salt systems, and next-generation high-efficiency energy applications.

TOWARD SUSTAINABLE COMBUSTION: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF NANOPARTICLE-INFUSED BIODIESEL
type: item
description: Using biodiesel as alternative fuel is a promising option due to its renewable source and favorable combustion qualities, but challenges such as lower calorific value, higher viscosity, poor cold-flow performance, and increased emissions limit its widespread adoption. Recent advances offer potential solutions: nanoparticles can act as catalysts during production and performance enhancers. Metal oxides and carbon-based nanomaterials improve transesterification efficiency, fuel atomization, ignition delay, and thermal conductivity resulting in higher brake thermal efficiency, lower brake-specific fuel consumption and reduced Emissions. The performance depends on optimal dosages (25–100 ppm), and excessive loading risks agglomeration, poor dispersion, or increased viscosity. Despite these results, many application remains limited by challenges related to nanoparticle stability, cost, toxicity, and regulatory approval. This review examines the mechanisms, performance influences, and limitations of nanoparticle-infused biodiesel. By addressing these issues, nanomaterial-enhanced biodiesel could become a viable next-generation fuel that balances performance and environmental concerns.

INVESTIGATION OF COPPER-ALUMINUM OXIDE METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES: EFFECT OF PARTICLE SIZE AND VOLUME FRACTION ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
type: item
description: This research study the synthesis and characterization of copper-aluminum oxide (Cu-Al2O) metal matrix composites made through powder metallurgy. The aim of research is to study two variables: (1) Al2O3 particle size (nano sized = < 50 nm; micro sized = 5-10 μm); and (2) volume fractions (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%), and on augmentation of mechanical properties. Bulk copper powders (>99.9% copper purity) and aluminum oxide particles, were mixed together, cold pressed at pressures at or above 100 MPa - 400 MPa, and sintered in hydrogen at 850°C. Microstructural characterization was completed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Mechanical characterization including hardness (Vickers), compressive strength, and density was determined. Many of the results indicate that nano sized Al2O3 produced superior mechanical properties than the micro sized Al2O3. Best composition was Cu-7.5 vol% nano sized Al2O3 produced 145 HV hardness (178% increase) and 420 MPa in compressive strength and 89% conductivity compared to pure copper. Microstructural examination indicated that nano fortified samples had good particle distribution while the micro samples had particle clumping. The proposed mechanisms for the enhancement in mechanical properties were load transfer, grain refinement, and thermal mismatch strengthening. This paper demonstrates the possibilities of Cu-Al2O3 designed composites as thermal and electrical management materials.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF HELICAL COIL AND INNOVATIVE TUBES HEAT EXCHANGER WITH PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS: NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
type: item
description: This study presents a numerical and experimental analysis of two models of latent heat storage systems using heat exchangers with phase change material (PCM). The models utilized were helically coiled tube heat exchangers (HCT-HX) and innovative tube heat exchangers (IT-HX). The models were analyzed for two distinct injections of Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) from the upper section of the models. The comparison of both scenarios showed that varying the Heat Transfer Fluid inlet while maintaining a constant mass flow rate significantly influences the duration of the melting process. In comparison, the melting time for (HCT-HX) decreases by 11.2%, whereas (IT-HX) results in a 24% delay in melting. The model in (HCT-HX) has the best thermal performance and the quickest melting time because of the geometry of it. A high degree of concordance was seen when the numerical and experimental outcomes were compared.

TRANSFORMING VISITOR EXPERIENCES IN UZBEKISTAN’S CULTURAL TOURISM THROUGH VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY
type: item
description: This paper explores how virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can transform cultural tourism in Uzbekistan. Drawing on global market dynamics and experiential learning theory, it analyzes how immersive technologies enhance visitor motivation, engagement, and emotional connection. The study highlights that while Uzbekistan possesses significant cultural resources, fragmented implementation of VR/AR limits their impact. Integration within a coherent framework could strengthen competitiveness by creating immersive narratives, digitally reconstructing heritage, enriching cultural landscapes, and engaging diaspora audiences. The paper concludes that VR and AR, if strategically deployed, can reposition Uzbekistan as a leading hub for cultural tourism in Central Asia.

PROBLEMS OF RESERVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN COMMERCIAL BANKS
type: item
description: The article considers the problem of the personnel reserve work in a bank. The first lines provide an analysis of theoretical sources on the issue of the personnel reserve. Interest in the problems of forming a personnel reserve is still relevant. The personnel reserve is presented in any company that cares about solving the problems of training the quality of personnel competencies. The risks of hiring employees are very high. However, the personnel reserve does not always solve the problems of personnel continuity. In Russian companies, an employee often spends decades in the personnel reserve, enough funds are spent on him to prepare for management, but he may never take a leadership position. There is an understanding that the personnel reserve is needed not only for management structures, it is necessary to close emerging vacancies quickly for less losses. The article considers the situation of the need to form a personnel reserve of a bank. An analysis of the organization of work without a personnel reserve is carried out. An attempt is made to analyze the costs of personnel training without a personnel reserve system. The line of career development of employees of settlement and cash services in the bank is shown. Horizontal movements are considered when an employee moves from one department to another. The author shows that the first steps have been taken in the formation of a personnel reserve. The bank is ready to work in this direction to solve important personnel problems.

DETERMINATION OF SOME IMMUNOLOGICAL MARKERS AMONG PATIENTS WITH CELIAC DISEASE IN DIWANIYAH PROVINCE
type: item
description: Eating gluten causes celiac disease, a systemic immune-mediated illness, in people who are genetically predisposed. Barley, the protein complex known as gluten, is present in wheat, rye, and rye. Celiac disease is characterized by a wide range of clinical signs, a specific serum autoantibody reactivity, and variable small-intestinal mucosal injury. Aim of the study: The study aims to evaluate the role of soluble HLA-G as an immunological marker of CD and other factors in pathogenicity, including pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines: Soluble HLA-G in patient serum, Serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10) in celiac disease patients and the small intestine's tissue inflammatory response. A case-control study of 65 individuals (300 suspected patients and 24 controls) aged 3–73 years was conducted at AL-Diwanyah Educational Hospital to measure serum levels of sHLA-G, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-10. Blood samples were processed and stored at -20 °C. sHLA-G levels were measured using ELISA. The study was ethically approved by the University of AL-Qadisiyah. Results: HLA-G, a class I molecule expressed in placental cells, showed significantly higher serum levels in patients (16.57 ± 3.33 pg/ml) compared to controls (5.88 ± 1.97 pg/ml, P ≤ 0.001). Proinflammatory IL-6 levels were also elevated in patients (433.42 ± 40.63 pg/ml vs. 228.02 ± 27.36, P ≤ 0.016), as were anti-inflammatory IL-10 levels (163.94 ± 28.87 pg/ml vs. 66.46 ± 17.89, P < 0.02). Conclusions: Celiac disease is linked to female gender, family history, and high sHLA-G and TNF-α levels.
