Paying Tribute: Returning to the Story of the “Qur‘ān of ‘Uthmān

Objectives: The Qur’an occupies a central position in a religious and philosophical system that has had a significant and emblematic impact on human history, influencing Arabic studies worldwide. Such is particularly true for Russian Arabic studies, where the '‘Uthmanic Qur’an', with copies in Saint Petersburg and Uzbekistan, has played a crucial role. This study aims to honour our teachers and the Arab community of Qashqadarya, who continue to preserve their language and culture. Methodology: Synthetic, Comparative. Findings: The history of these manuscripts spans over twelve centuries, providing rich material linked to the fate of human lineages, nations, cities, peoples, and Islamic civilisation since its emergence in the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th century until the triumph of Islam. This Islam endured against the communist regime in the Islamic republics of the Soviet Union. The Russian School of Arabic Studies survived the 1917 Revolution due to its concentration on research areas that were of particular importance at the time. These included the study of Arabic sources on the history of the USSR territories and the living Arabic dialects used in the Central Asian republics. Such led to the publication of significant works on the language, ethnography, and history of the Arabs of Qashqadarya, whose ancestors brought the '‘Uthmanic Qur’an' from the Arabian Peninsula via the Silk Road to their land in Uzbekistan. Originality: Today, advanced research techniques must be used to study and analyse the '‘Uthmanic Qur’an' manuscript and reconstruct the origin, culture, and dialects of the Arab population in Qashqadarya, Uzbekistan. These include DNA analysis and modern linguistic methods based on big data and artificial intelligence technology.

THE MAIN CAUSES OF FALLOW LAND ON AGRICULTURAL LAND AND SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR PREVENTION

Uzbekistan, which has a rich agricultural history, faces the problem of abandoned arable land -a valuable resource awaiting restoration. This article examines the specific causes of loss of arable land in Uzbekistan and offers individual strategies and recommendations for returning these lands to productive use.

Study of the main directions of the cadastral valuation of non-agricultural land in Uzbekistan

The current land-use policy in Uzbekistan has not provided clear solutions for different land users related to the cadastral valuation of land resources. Despite several land reforms that have been implemented until now, still, numerous issues can be easily identified in this field. For these reasons, this paper investigates the problems of cadastral valuation of land resources, including non-agricultural land, which are the national wealth of the country. It outlines the goals and objectives and the methods and techniques used to address them. A number of natural, social, economic, environmental, and political factors affecting the consumption characteristics of non-agricultural land, including settlements, have been identified. Using analytical analysis, calculations, and monographic methods, to date, the methods and approaches to land valuation developed in the country as a result of research in this area have been analyzed. Their shortcomings have been identified. They identify a number of specific features that have been overlooked in today’s market economy. Specific scientific recommendations for determining the relative value of land plots based on the type and nature of real estate located in settlements are given. On this basis, the procedure for calculating the market value of land in residential areas is provided.

Development of technology and equipment for harvesting mung bean crops

The volume of mung bean cultivation and export is also increasing in Uzbekistan. In Uzbekistan, mung bean is mainly planted as a repeat crop after wheat in June-July, and harvested in autumn in October-November. This provides additional income for farms and improves soil fertility. There are methods of mowing, plucking and harvesting mung bean from 5-10 cm above the surface of the ground, and cutting mung bean from the roots 5-10 cm below the ground. Because this method gives a good result in harvesting mung bean, which grows along the cultivated land in Uzbekistan and when the grain is ripe, but the stalks are green. Research is currently underway to develop a harvester that implements this method and to adapt the Dominator-130 combine to threshing without breaking the mung bean.

The height of the pumping unit suction pipe inlet relative to the riverbed bottom

Currently, 78% of all irrigated land in Uzbekistan is provided with water by pumping stations and installations. The water sources of most pumping stations are rivers and irrigation channels that transport a large amount of bottom and suspended sediments. Due to the lack of consideration of bottom sediments moving in the form of ridges, when installing the pumping units suction pipeline, during their operation, these bottom pumps flow from the water intake source in the interior of the units. As a result, intensive waterjet wear of the flow part and the impeller of the pumps occurs. This leads to an intensive reduction in the main parameters of the pumps, as well as reduces their repair period. Currently, this is one of the major problems of pumping stations that take water from the Zarafshan river, as well as those operating on the Karshi, Amu-Bukhara, Amu-Zang and Jizzakh main channels. Laboratory studies were carried out on the experimental installation to determine the height of ridges with different granulometric composition of bottom sediments. As a result, a formula was obtained for determining the height of the ridge, taking into account the heterogeneity of ridge forms. Based on the obtained formula, a method for setting the height of the pumping unit suction pipe inlet relative to the riverbed bottom is recommended. The application of the proposed method does not allow bottom sediments to enter the inner part of the pumps, as a result of which their intensive abrasive wear decreases, the inter-repair period increases, while maintaining its main parameters for a long time.

State Ownership of Land in Uzbekistan – an Impediment to Further Agricultural Growth?

AbstractThe present paper aims to demonstrate how the state land ownership affects development of agricultural sector in Uzbekistan, and what are its strengths and weaknesses. It highlights the importance of secure land right regardless of ownership. Land in Uzbekistan is state-owned; the exclusive state ownership of land was first incorporated in the 1992 Constitution. The official rationale was to ensure food security and social stability; another concern was the state-run irrigation system, operation of which would be hampered in the event of land privatization.Farming entities in Uzbekistan possess different rights to land: from long-life inheritable rights of the dehkans (small-scale household farms) to rights limited by 30 to 50 years and defined by lease contracts of the private farmers. The latter are monitored by the state and are subject to state interventions; in the first place they have to carry the burden of state quotas for cotton and wheat and they are obliged to sell these crops for state-dictated prices. Dehkans provide a major part of livestock production and they can, unlike private farmers, sell all their production at market prices.Land tenure rights in Uzbekistan lack certain qualities that would make land tenure rights meaningful. The duration of land rights is sufficient, however they do not assure the holders that rights will be recognized and enforced at low costs and do not provide them with mechanisms allowing adjustment under changing conditions.The authors conclude that the insufficient land tenure security, which is further undermined by state interventions, poses a significant barrier impeding development in the agricultural sector. The paper identifies opportunities for change arising from the gradual strengthening of market principles.
