The Issues of Improving the Inclusive Education System in Uzbekistan by L. S. Makhmutkhodjaeva

“…Thus, we conclude that the social inclusion of children and adults with disabilities requires broad systemic changes and a multisectoral approach that removes institutional and structural barriers, allowing persons with disabilities to meet their basic needs related to health, rehabilitation, economic and social security as well as learning and skills development within living in their communities.In our conditions, which are unfavorable for the most independent life of disabled people, reducing the degree of state responsibility for the well-being of citizens with disabilities is fraught with high social risks. …”

Research progress and prospect of coal seam blasting antireflection technology in China by Zegong LIU, Guodong QIAO, Jian LIU, Kui GAO

“…Therefore, future development trends and prospects of coal seam blasting permeability enhancement technology are proposed: in deep structural areas of coal seams, precise directional blasting technology should be developed to enhance permeability accurately while avoiding deep-seated secondary coal-rock dynamic disasters; for permeability enhancement in soft and low-permeability coal seams, traditional borehole layout techniques should be revised, and blasting holes should be constructed within roof and floor strata, promoting strata blasting permeability enhancement technology; in intelligent blasting permeability enhancement, integration with artificial intelligence and big data analysis methods should be pursued, focusing on intelligent design of blasting schemes and evaluation of blasting effects, thereby further advancing coal seam blasting permeability enhancement technology in alignment with China’s direction towards safe and intelligent coal mining development.…”
