Girish Karnad in his plays makes a dire attempt to create a world where the women would have their due of love, desire and sexuality. Walking beyond the strict rules of the society that has ordained sexual pleasures as the rightful claim of men and that which is a shame when it comes to a woman, Karnad creates an equal ground. The woman protagonist Rani attains the fulfilment of her desires without an iota of guilt and without Nature’s intervention. Nature the primordial had ever been one with human instincts and the urge for sexuality being a prime instinct had never been interfered with. It is civilizations’ bias that had worked on the contrary. Here the power game between the different quarters come to the focus and Nature in the Naga and civilization in the husband face the human in Rani making her victorious.

Мақолада МДҲ ва Болтиқ бўйи давлатларидаги тезкор-қидирув фаолияти (ТҚФ) қонунчилиги таҳлил қилинган. Шунингдек, ТҚФни тартибга солувчи миллий қонунлар ва уларнинг умумий қонунчилик асослари солиштирилган. Мақолада МДҲ давлатларидаги ТҚФ қонунлари, тезкор-қидирув тадбирларини амалга оширишда қонунчиликдаги фарқлар ва умумий принциплар муҳокама қилинган. Шу билан бирга, модель қонуннинг мазмун ва принциплари таҳлил қилинади ва унинг миллий қонунчиликка жорий этилиш имкониятлари кўриб чиқилган.

В условиях цифровизации экономики существенно возрастает роль высококвалифицированных специалистов, в том числе маркетологов, что обуславливает необходимость уточнения требований, предъявляемых к профессиональным компетенциям кадров в сфере маркетинга, а также к системе их подготовки. В статье на основе анализа опыта системы высшего образования Республики Узбекистан предложены мероприятия, направленные на пересмотр содержания образовательных стандартов, учебных планов и сроков подготовки специалистов-маркетологов с учётом современных требований цифровой экономики.

The AOP Framework Study aimed to study key stakeholders’ perceptions of the main challenges facing chemicals regulation. The study, conducted through a survey, focus groups and interviews, points to two over-riding themes in the overall domain of chemicals regulation: firstly, the lack of consensus that characterises the domain with respect to the science of regulatory toxicology; secondly, the lack of trust that frequently marks interactions between the different sectors. These two themes, one scientific and the other social, are very closely inter-related. This presentation describes the challenges, strategies and practices spoken about by participants in the study. Topics include perceptions of the main challenges facing chemicals regulation overall, and non-animal methods in particular; and the benefits and challenges of the AOP Framework and Knowledge Base. The Framework emerges as a powerful tool for knowledge management and integration, which also has the potential to contribute positively to providing an environment in which productive discussions can take place despite very different perspectives, and in in which trust can be built. A number of recommendations are made regarding how the AOP Framework can be developed in order to fulfil a broader mediating role between different approaches to chemicals regulation, alongside it’s role as knowledge integrator. The primary recommendation is to deploy a user-centric development approach, which ensures that current and potential user expectations and needs are taken into consideration at every step of ongoing development. Further features would enable the AOP Framework Knowledge Base to act as a common space for producing shared understandings of the different approaches and perspectives, through facilitating comparisons and bridging between different methods and studies. In this way, the AOP Framework has a valuable role to play in addressing the lack of collaboration and dialogue across sectors that marks the regulatory domain, and may be a way of supporting greater consensus and trust.
