During the next meeting of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, deputies approved a draft law aimed at creating an effective system for crime prevention in the first reading. This was reported by Upl.uz. Deputies emphasized that steps have been taken to stabilize crime rates by strengthening the activities of base points in neighborhoods and introducing the positions of major and minor inspectors for preventive measures. However, until now, only preventive inspectors operating in neighborhoods had the right to conduct activities and take measures within the system of internal affairs agencies. Major and minor inspectors at base points did not have such authority. The new draft law grants these inspectors the right to review administrative cases and take appropriate measures. Additionally, in the existing system, patrol service inspectors can prepare administrative reports, but the review and decision-making are assigned to other responsible individuals, including the excessive burden on preventive inspectors. This leads to a loss of time in resolving issues for citizens. Therefore, the draft law proposes to transfer the authority for reviewing administrative reports prepared by patrol service inspectors directly to their supervisors. The adoption of this draft law is expected to significantly enhance the effectiveness of efforts to prevent crimes at an early stage, ensure public order in neighborhoods, and stabilize crime rates.

This platform is located between the hydroelectric station and the boulevard. Fortunately, the boy was only limited to scratches. The cause of the fall was the lack of flooring in one part of the platform, where the boy fell into a hole.

Nature is filled with unique signals beyond human hearing. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Recently, a scientific study conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel showed that plants can express themselves through sound when under stress, and these sounds may indeed affect animals. For the first time, it has been confirmed that sounds emitted by plants elicit responses from animals. The researchers found that when female moths heard sounds indicating that the tomato plant was under stress, they stopped laying eggs on it. This discovery shows that there are hidden communications in nature that occur through sounds inaudible to humans. According to Professor Yossi Yovel, this phenomenon is the first instance of animals responding to sounds produced by plants. He also speculated that many animals might use these sounds to make decisions about food, shelter, or other vital choices. The scientists studied the reactions of moths in a specially controlled environment, analyzing sound and appearance separately. As a result, it was determined that only the sound factor influenced the animals' behavior. In the next phase of the research, the sounds produced by different plants and how other organisms respond to these sounds will be studied. Professor Lilach Hadani believes another interesting direction is the question of whether plants can transmit information to each other through sound. For example, in drought conditions, one plant might send a warning signal to others, urging them to reduce water consumption. As the researchers noted, plants are not conscious; the sounds they produce are a result of physiological changes. However, these sounds could become a valuable source of information for other organisms. If these hypotheses are correct, plants and animals have adapted to understand each other during the evolutionary process. According to Professor Hadani, if animals have the ability to receive information through sounds, plants might also produce them more strongly or in greater quantities. This remains scientifically unexplored but is a vast and intriguing direction that could open the door to a hidden world. This study specifically observed female moths, as they often lay their eggs on tomato plants. This is crucial for providing a sufficient food source for the caterpillars. However, when the plant indicated its stress state through sound, the moths decided to lay their eggs elsewhere. This phenomenon demonstrates the existence of communication types in nature that have not yet been heard or seen, as well as their importance for life.

Famous footballer Edgar Davids, who played for Juventus in past years, learned that his acquaintance Nabila Habibi committed theft. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The ad.nl portal provided information about this. According to the publication, Davids found out several years later that his painting collection had been stolen. He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros. In 2017, when Habibi was unable to repay her debts, the pawnshops gained the right to sell the paintings. One of the buyers saw Davids' name on the back of a painting and contacted him through social networks. After that, Davids filed a lawsuit. Habibi admitted to the theft. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.
