This article argues for a pedagogical shift in the piano studio that moves beyond the refinement of technique alone to cultivate the “complete musician.” It explores an integrative framework where technical work is fundamentally re-envisioned as a servant to artistic expression, ensuring that physical mastery is inseparable from musical intent. The discussion then emphasizes the cultivation of a sophisticated sonic imagination, training students to become architects of timbre and nuance. Further, the article contends that intellectual engagement with musical structure and historical context is essential for transforming performers from mere executants into compelling storytellers who embody stylistic authenticity. Finally, it addresses the pedagogue's most delicate role: fostering the student’s unique artistic voice by creating a studio environment that balances rigorous training with creative freedom and self-discovery. The ultimate aim is to propose a holistic pedagogical model that prepares pianists not only to play with excellence but to think, communicate, and contribute with depth and integrity as complete musical artists. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/88An approach to the formation of the piano repertoire based on national and world music samples 2025-11-20T10:13:33+05:00Farida Erkinbaevna EralievaThis scientific work analyzes the interaction between the national musical heritage and world music samples in the process of forming the piano repertoire, their importance in the educational process and their impact on the development of performing arts.

The profound physiological demands of rapid growth, expansion of blood volume, and neurological development during infancy create a precarious balance between iron supply and requirement. This period is characterized by a distinct and often insidious clinical course, where the classical signs of anemia are preceded by a critical latent stage of deficiency with significant functional consequences. The features of iron deficiency in infancy are marked by non-specific manifestations that can easily be attributed to other common childhood ailments, thereby delaying diagnosis. Furthermore, the risk factors for its development are multifaceted, originating from prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal influences. A comprehensive understanding of these risk factors, including maternal iron status, perinatal events such as cord clamping, and postnatal feeding practices, is paramount for developing effective preventive strategies. This article delves into the peculiarities of how iron deficiency conditions manifest in infants, emphasizing the continuum from depleted iron stores to functional iron deficiency and ultimately to overt iron deficiency anemia. It also provides a detailed analysis of the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors that predispose this fragile population to nutritional iron deficiency, underscoring the imperative for vigilant screening and proactive nutritional management from the prenatal period through the first twelve months of life. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/90Vocal pedagogy in the academy integrating Uzbek traditional practices 2025-11-20T10:13:41+05:00Ijodbek JurayevThe evolving mandate for a globalized and culturally responsive music education necessitates a critical expansion of vocal pedagogy beyond its Western bel canto foundations. This article examines the transformative impact of integrating Uzbek traditional vocal practices, specifically the classical Maqom, into the academic voice curriculum. It argues that this integration is not merely additive but fundamentally challenges and enriches core pedagogical methodologies. The analysis focuses on four key areas of transformation: the reconceptualization of vocal tone to encompass a focused, straight-toned timbre and microtonal inflection; the development of supplemental aural training to navigate fluid pitch systems; a deepened engagement with text that treats classical Sufi poetry as the structural source of melodic and rhythmic life; and a reimagined performance practice centered on the lecture-recital model. The article concludes that this holistic approach fosters vocal versatility, aural sophistication, and profound cultural literacy, ultimately producing more adaptable and intellectually engaged artists equipped for the demands of a pluralistic musical world. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/91Improving the effectiveness of fine arts lessons through innovative pedagogical technologies 2025-11-20T10:13:45+05:00Asila AbdusalimovaScientific supervisor: Lenar Shevketovich KhalilovThis article examines how innovative pedagogical technologies - especially ICT-enhanced strategies, project-based learning (PBL), and Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) - can measurably improve the effectiveness of fine arts lessons. Drawing on peer-reviewed studies and open-access reports, it argues that technology itself is not a panacea; rather, effectiveness emerges when teachers integrate digital tools with robust pedagogy that foregrounds inquiry, collaboration, and reflective visual discourse. Evidence from Australian secondary art classrooms shows that teachers’ beliefs shape the depth and quality of ICT use; when confidence and pedagogical purpose are strong, technology amplifies students’ engagement and learning, but when doubts persist, adoption remains superficial and “gimmicky.” Complementary research on PBL in online art classes identifies six design features that reliably strengthen learning-driving questions, clear goals, authentic practice, collaboration, learning with technology, and artifact creation - offering a replicable blueprint for lesson design. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/92Antioxidant properties of pumpkin seed oil addition to functional drinks 2025-11-20T10:13:49+05:00Mamurjon Yangiboyevich Xo‘jjiyevevmxojjiyev@bk.ruFeruza Jo‘raqulovna BozorovaThis article examines the antioxidant properties of pumpkin seed oil when added to plant-based functional beverages. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of adding pumpkin seed oil (at concentrations of 1-5%) on the oxidative stability of beverages during storage. Soy milk- and vegetable oil-based emulsions were used as a model system. Antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH, peroxide value, and thiobarbituric acid index (TBA). Adding 3% pumpkin seed oil reduced the oxidation rate by 26-31% compared to the control. The greatest increase in tocopherol (34%) and carotenoid (29%) content was recorded with a 3% addition. A metrological control method based on spectrophotometry and chromatography, compliant with international standards, was developed. The obtained data confirm the high potential of pumpkin seed oil as a natural antioxidant in the production of functional beverages. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/93The lymphatic system 2025-11-20T10:13:52+05:00Rustamjon Baxtiyarovich AsatullayevSevinch Nodirjonovna LatifovaKamron Musrumon o‘g‘li AbdisayitovThe lymphatic system represents a vital yet often underappreciated component of human physiology, functioning as a bridge between the circulatory and immune systems.

While the surgical correction of anatomical anomalies such as intestinal atresia, malrotation with volvulus, or meconium ileus is often successful, the postoperative course remains fraught with significant challenges. The principal hurdles include the imperative for the distal, unused intestine to achieve functional adaptation and the persistent threat of life-threatening complications, most notably necrotizing enterocolitis. This article posits that the gut microflora serves as a pivotal determinant in navigating these postoperative pathways. The initial establishment and subsequent succession of microbial communities are profoundly disrupted by the underlying obstruction and the requisite surgical trauma. This dysbiotic state can critically impair the processes of intestinal adaptation, including mucosal hyperplasia and barrier fortification, while simultaneously priming the gut for a heightened inflammatory response. Consequently, the reconstitution of a beneficial microflora postoperatively is not merely a passive outcome but an active therapeutic target. A deeper understanding of the host-microbe interactions in this vulnerable population offers a paradigm shift from solely surgical management to a more holistic approach aimed at modulating the microbiome to support adaptation and mitigate the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis. 2025-11-20T00:00:00+05:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://integrumpublication.org/index.php/ajste/article/view/98Building effective collaboration between teachers and parents in primary school 2025-11-20T10:14:53+05:00Feruzbek Nurmatjon oglu NematovThis article explores the theoretical and practical foundations for fostering effective collaboration between teachers and parents in primary school.
