Juventus club will hold new negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain regarding the loan of forward Randal Kolo-Muani. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The loan period of the French player is approaching, and the contract will be valid until the end of the Club World Cup. Juventus has already been eliminated from this competition. The club intends to extend the loan period for another year, although Paris Saint-Germain is demanding the inclusion of a mandatory purchase clause in the loan agreement, according to an internal source in football, Gianluca di Marzio. Juventus head coach Igor Tudor considers the 26-year-old forward an important part of the team. The Transfermarkt portal estimates the player's market value at 30 million euros. According to previous information, Paris Saint-Germain will only consider loan offers with a mandatory purchase clause. For this reason, negotiations between the parties are ongoing. Kolo-Muani's stay in the team is of strategic importance for Juventus. The club management also highly values the player's potential and decisive decisions regarding his future are being made.

Once again, heated discussions have begun among car enthusiasts in Uzbekistan. This was reported by Upl.uz. UzAuto Motors has resumed the sale of contracts for unpaid Chevrolet Malibu-2 vehicles. This was announced by the UzAutoSavdo digital sales platform, where this model has been put up for sale under contract. The car manufacturer's press service confirmed that sales of the Malibu-2 model have been restored. According to the state company UzAuto Motors, Chevrolet Malibu XL vehicles, for which payments were not made within the specified timeframe during previous campaigns, are now being offered for sale again. It is worth noting that in April of this year, UzAuto Motors temporarily suspended sales of Chevrolet Malibu, Traverse, and Tahoe models. The company explained this by stating that the existing vehicles were tied to full contracts and promised to resume sales soon. These promises were confirmed on May 29, when UzAuto Motors announced the start of sales for Chevrolet Malibu XL. However, demand was so high that within 42 minutes, the company announced that contracts were closed on the UzAutoSavdo online platform. The results of this rapid contract process remain a secret to the public and have been referred to as a "corporate secret." Against the backdrop of current events, in June, UzAuto Motors launched an updated version of the UzAutoSavdo platform. The new site offers a range of useful features, including an improved interface that adapts to various devices, convenient navigation, an enhanced registration process, and the ability for online payments for vehicles.

The head coach of the Chelsea team, Enzo Mareska, spoke about the differences between forwards Joao Pedro and Nicolas Jackson. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. The 23-year-old Brazilian player was purchased from Brighton for nearly 64 million euros last week. According to Mareska, Joao Pedro can play in any position in attack. This aspect distinguishes him from Jackson. Mareska sees Nicolas only in the "number nine" position, that is, as a central striker. Pedro, on the other hand, is capable of performing any role in the forward line. These comments were made by Mareska ahead of the semi-final of the World Club Championship. The Londoners will take the field today against Brazil's Fluminense. The match is scheduled to start at 22:00 Moscow time. This match is highly anticipated as the teams will test their strengths against each other, and the winner will advance to the final.

The buyback process of Chevrolet Malibu-2 cars initiated by UzAuto Motors was successfully completed within one business day. This was reported by Upl.uz. This business class sedan model was re-listed for resale on the UzAutoSavdo digital trading platform on June 18, 2024, Wednesday. However, within the same week, this car was removed from the sales listings again, and there was no opportunity to conclude new contracts. This promotion offered a limited number of Chevrolet Malibu-2 cars. These cars were previously ordered by customers but were not purchased within the specified timeframe for various reasons. Therefore, they were re-entered into the system and became available for new buyers. The quick sale of the cars indicates a high demand for this model in the domestic market. As of June 19, 2024, it is currently not possible to conclude new contracts for purchasing Chevrolet Malibu-2 cars on the UzAutoSavdo platform. The company has not provided information about new presentations or sales periods for this model in the future. The Chevrolet Malibu model has consistently had high demand in Uzbekistan, with active sales and the offered cars selling quickly.

A recent study published in the prestigious Proceedings of the Royal Society B scientific journal revealed the fundamental mechanisms of human brain activity. This was reported by Upl.uz. This research explains how discomfort from multiple sources is perceived as a unified and amplified pain syndrome. A group of scientists led by Dr. Kong Yachjuo from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided information that the brain area known as the precuneus plays a central role in integrating and amplifying pain signals. The phenomenon of pain is a complex psychophysiological process, the intensity of which is determined not only by direct damage to tissues but also by cognitive factors, including expectations, levels of anxiety, and attention focus. Previously, researchers had limited information on how the brain integrates signals from multiple pain sources. This study shows that when a person perceives pain as a general feeling rather than from individual stimuli, the sensation of pain significantly intensifies. During the research, participants were presented with three types of dosable stimuli: heat, pressure, and electrical effects. These stimuli were applied individually or in combination of two types. Participants were divided into two groups, with the first group evaluating each stimulus separately, while the second group received instructions to perceive the overall pain. Throughout the experiment, participants' brain activity was monitored using functional magnetic resonance imaging. At the same time, they assessed their pain levels on a standard scale. The results showed that members of the group focusing on overall pain experienced significantly amplified pain. If the intensity of the stimuli was below the pain threshold, such an effect was not observed. This indicates that the brain does not simply sum the signals but integrates them complexly to create a qualitatively new pain experience. This process is governed by cognitive approaches. The precuneus is a center located in the brain that participates in the integration of sensory information, memory, and self-awareness processes. The study found a direct correlation between the activity of the precuneus and the amplification of pain. Thus, the precuneus collects various discomfort signals and transforms them into a singular and strong sensation of pain. For example, when cutting and burning occur simultaneously, they are perceived not separately but as a whole, indistinct, and painful syndrome. This study demonstrates that psychological factors are crucial in managing pain. Patients' expectations and instructions can either amplify or diminish pain, which explains the neurobiological aspects of placebo and nocebo effects. Managing the activity of the precuneus opens up prospects for developing new therapeutic methods. This can be achieved through techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy or neurostimulation. The research serves to create new effective approaches to treating complex pain syndromes, as such syndromes often do not respond to traditional medications. Due to the absence of pain receptors in the brain, neurosurgeons can perform brain surgeries on patients while they are conscious and pain-free. The pain we feel is the result of the brain interpreting signals coming from receptors in other parts of the body. Therefore, pain is a complex psychophysiological process related to how our brain perceives and processes external stimuli.

In recent days, intensified monitoring activities have been carried out by the Traffic Safety Department of the Main Department of Internal Affairs in the streets of Tashkent. This was reported by Upl.uz. The main goal of these activities is to enhance the safety culture among road traffic participants, particularly among users of small vehicles. The monitoring center includes cyclists, as well as the increasingly popular scooter, moped, and electric scooter riders. The primary task of the ongoing raids is to prevent road traffic accidents involving these road users. With the onset of the warm season, the number of these vehicles on the roads significantly increases, which requires additional measures to ensure safety. During the monitoring, law enforcement officers conduct explanatory work with drivers stopped on the road. Citizens are reminded of the importance of following safe driving rules, using protective gear, maintaining appropriate speed, and adhering to traffic regulations. Particular attention is paid to movement and the use of reflective items, especially during the evening hours. Administrative measures are also taken against drivers who violate traffic rules. These measures are implemented strictly in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. As noted by the information service of the Traffic Safety Department, such raids will continue regularly in various regions. The series of events aims to foster a culture of responsible driving and reduce the number of accidents on city roads. In many countries, a specific category of driver's license is required to operate electric scooters and mopeds, depending on their power and maximum speed, and registering the vehicle is mandatory. These rules are aimed at ensuring safety and improving traffic culture.

In recent years, Chechnya's participation in the war in Ukraine has significantly increased, reports the @Kadyrov_95 Telegram channel. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Republic's leader Ramzan Kadyrov, more than 60,000 fighters have been sent to the battlefield from Chechnya so far. Approximately 22,000 of them are considered volunteers. Currently, about 13,000 young men are serving on the front line in the ranks of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Rosgvardiya, the "Akhmat" special forces, and the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs. In May 2024, Kadyrov announced during a meeting with the Russian president that more than 55,500 Chechen fighters have been sent to the front since the war began. However, this number does not include military personnel who were in barracks, on leave, or on rotation. Some human rights activists have noted cases of coercion to sign contracts in Chechnya. Chechnya is also providing material and technical assistance for the war. Earlier this year, Ramzan Kadyrov announced that five Changan armored pickups manufactured in China were sent to the front. Previously, reports had circulated about the delivery of vehicles, drones, and military equipment to Russian troops. In October 2024, Kadyrov announced that 100 special "jihad machines" would be presented to the "People's Front for Russia" movement. Additionally, the Chechen leadership has sent 78 UAZ "Patriot," UAZ-452, and "Niva" vehicles for the war. The fund named after "Hero of Russia Ahmad-Hoji Kadyrov" is actively engaged in providing technical support and material assistance for the war. During the war, the fund has purchased 2,515 special vehicles, 12,650 quadcopters (drones), 32,781 communication devices, and 112,857 complete military equipment through its resources. The fund has spent over 40 billion rubles on the war, which is approximately equivalent to 500 million dollars. This information shows that Chechnya is contributing significantly to the war in Ukraine not only with fighters but also logistically and materially. The equipment, drones, and supplies being sent are expanding the capabilities of the troops on the front line, and Kadyrov and his team are trying to strengthen their position in Moscow. In the future, analysts remain focused on how Chechnya's active participation in the war will lead to changes in the Russia-Ukraine conflict process.
