1	Assessing The Changes Of The Glaciers In The Karadarya Basin During The Period Of Climate Change Akaboev Ismatulla, Mirzahmedov Ismoiljon Departament of Geography and environmental protection, Namangan State University, Namangan, 160107, Uzbekistan E-mail: ismatulaakaboev@gmail.com Abstract. This article analyzes the changes in the existing glaciers in the Karadarya River basin, which begins in the eastern part of the Fergana Valley, from 1970 to 2018 using geographical comparison, historical analysis, and cartographic methods. In particular, the relationship between changes in glaciers on the southwestern slopes of the Fergana Range and the northern slopes of the eastern part of the Aloy Range in the river basin and climate change is assessed. The distribution of existing glaciers in the Karadarya River basin by river tributaries, how many of them have an area larger or smaller than 0.1 km², in which tributaries of the river the area of glaciers has decreased or expanded during the studied period, how many glaciers have melted and how many new glaciers have appeared, at what altitude and in what exposure the glaciers undergoing change are located, were analyzed. At the same time, relevant conclusions were drawn based on the above studies. [Akaboev I. at. el. Assessing The Changes Of The Glaciers In The Karadarya Basin During The Period Of Climate Change.

2	Long Protocol versus Short Protocol in PCO Wael Ahmed Ezzat Ammar¹, Hossam Mahmoud¹, Sherif M. Safwat², Marwa R. Shahine¹ ¹Fellow Obstetrics and Gynecology, El GALAA Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt; ²Assistant Consultant Obstetrics and Gynecology, El Galaa Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt Email: dr.waela3@gmail.com Abstract: Aim: A Comparison between long agonist protocol and short agonist protocol in PCO. Methods: A retrospective study was done at El Galaa Teaching Hospital over a period of 10 years from January 2015 till May 2025. 200 cycles of ICSI performed for PCO females were divided into 2 groups: Group (A) 100 cases of PCO females received long protocol, And Group (B) 100 cases of PCO females received short protocol. Comparison between two groups was done according to number of days of stimulation, number of oocytes retrieved, number of M2 oocytes and pregnancy rate. Both groups were on same lowest starting dose 150 IU of HMG stimulation of same drug. Results: As regarding: Age was of statistically insignificant difference between both groups where mean of age of group A was 33.25 ± 1.3 year, And mean of age of group B was 33.55 ± 1.2 year, And P value was >5%, So Age between both groups was statically insignificant as P value > 5% these because we take in our consideration that age of females in both groups should be between 30 35 years of both groups. BMI was in group A mean 33.1 ± 1.1 kg/m2 and for group B mean BMI was 33.9 ± 0.9 Kg/m2 where p was > 5% so BMI was statically insignificant. Mean of days of stimulation was Group A was 13.6 ± 1.5 days, while Mean of group B was 10.7 ± 1.6 days, where P value was < 5% so it is statistically significant between both groups as P value less than 5%. Number of oocytes retrieved was, Mean of group A was 10.35 ± 2.6 oocytes, while group B mean was 9.99 ± 3.3 oocytes, And P value was > 5%, So Number of oocytes retrieved was statistically insignificant between both groups as P value was > 5%. Number of M2 oocytes was, Mean of Group A was 7.19 ± 2.11 M2, and mean of Group B was 6.97 ± 2.29 M2, where P value was > 5 %, So Number M2 of oocytes retrieved was statistically insignificant between both groups as P value was > 5%. Pregnancy rate was, Mean of group A was 26 ± 0.44 %, while group B mean was 23 ± 0.42 %, And P value was > 5 %, So pregnancy rate was statistically insignificant between both groups as P value was > 5%. Conclusion: In PCO females short protocol was better than long protocol only in number of days of stimulation. But number of oocytes retrieved and number of M2 oocytes and pregnancy rate were statistically insignificant. [Wael Ahmed Ezzat Ammar, Hossam Mahmoud, Sherif M. Safwat, Marwa R. Shahine.

3	The Transformating Impacts of Sustainable Logistic Practices in Developed and Developing Countries: A Review Eja, Matthew Eja Mres International Business, School of Business, Computing and Social sciences. University Of Gloucestershire. email: ejamatthew@gmail.com ABSTRACT: Sustainable logistic practices result in economy growth and emission of greenhouse gases. Co2 besides other gases, is a greenhouse gas (GHG) associated with global warming and climate change with imaginable disaster to mankind. In this review, Co2 emission arising from sustained logistic practices in developed and developing countries was assessed. Between 1950 and 1990, global Co2 emission was 6 billion tonnes and it is still rising. Between 2021 and 2023, the estimated Co2 emission for developed and developing countries was 72,027.96 million tonnes from which 77.6% was contributed by developed countries and 22.4% was contributed by developing countries. Within the same period, developed countries had 78.5% gross domestic product (GDP) while developing countries had 21.5%. These suggest that developed countries still apply more advanced sustainable logistic practices resulting in greater Co2 emission than developing countries. Developing countries show lower compliance with international agreement on Co2 reduction than developed countries, probably as a result of lack of adequate technology to lower down Co2 emission. It is recommended that both developed and developing countries should do more to mitigate Co2 emission by embracing renewable sources of power. [Eja, Matthew Eja.

Kukhar Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry and Petrochemistry of the National Academy of the Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine, East Europe Corresponding Author: ao_adejuwon@yahoo.ca Abstract: In this study we investigated the potential of indigenous fungi isolated from maize (Zea mays) as plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) and their efficacy in inhibiting the maize pathogen Fusarium verticillioides. Various isolates were examined for their antagonistic properties, impact on maize seed germination, seedling growth, and potential necrotic effects. Among the tested isolates, ELIZA3, ELIZA4, and ELIZA2 exhibited the highest inhibition rates on Fusarium verticillioides, achieving 65%, 68%, and 60% inhibition, respectively. These results highlight their strong antagonistic properties. The impact on maize seed germination and growth was significant across all isolates compared to the control, which had an 85% germination rate. Notably, ELIZA3 and ELIZA4 achieved the highest germination rates at 95% and 96%, respectively. Furthermore, the isolates positively influenced the growth of both plumule and radicle. ELIZA4 led to the longest plumule (8.0 cm) and radicle lengths (7.0 cm), suggesting enhanced seedling vigor and field establishment potential. Additionally, root development was significantly increased in treated samples, with ELIZA3 and ELIZA4 showing a notable increase in the number of roots (4 roots per seedling). Crucially, none of the isolates caused necrosis in the maize seedlings, ensuring their compatibility with plant tissues and underscoring their safety as bioinoculants. The findings demonstrate that indigenous fungi isolated from maize possess substantial potential as plant growth promoters. The isolates ELIZA2, ELIZA3, and ELIZA4, in particular, showed remarkable efficacy in promoting seed germination, enhancing seedling growth, and suppressing Fusarium verticillioides. These attributes position them as promising candidates for sustainable agricultural practices aimed at improving maize crop performance and resilience. This study underscores the importance of harnessing indigenous fungal resources for enhancing crop growth and protection in an environmentally friendly manner.

6	Forecast of Changes in the Composition of Urban Settlements and the Level of Urbanization in Southern Uzbekistan Kurbonov Pakhlavon Rustamovich Karshi State University, Department of Geography and Agronomy, Karshi city, Uzbekistan latipovnormurod@gmail.com Abstract. This article presents a forecast of the changes in the total urban population, the composition of urban settlements, and the level of urbanization in Southern Uzbekistan – specifically, the provinces of Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya – for the short-term (2030), medium-term (2040), and long-term (2050) horizons, using the method of extrapolation. The forecast is based on the analysis of relevant retrospective data covering the period from 2009 to 2024. In addition, the dynamics of changes in the urban population and urbanization level for Uzbekistan as a whole, as well as for Kashkadarya and Surkhandarya provinces up to 2030, have been mathematically modeled.
