  • O`Zbek Adabiyoti Tarixi XVII-XIX Asr Adabiyoti
    O`ZBEKISTON ReSPUBLIKASI XALQ TA`LIMI VAZIRLIGI AJINIYOZ NOMIDAGI NUKUS DAVLAT PEDAGOGIKA INSTITUTI O`zbek adabiyoti kafedrasi «O`zbek adabiyoti tarixi» (XV11-X1X asrning birinchi yarmi ) fanidan ma`ruzalar matni NUKUS - 2012 1 KIRISh Reja: 1. «Adabiyoti tarixi» tushunchasi va uning xalqimiz tarixidagi o`rni. 2. O`zbek mumtoz adabiyoti tarixining ob`ekti. 3. O`zbek mumtoz adabiyoti tarixini davrlashtirish tamoyillari 4. XU1-X1X asrlar adabiyotining alohida davr sifatida o`rganilish sabablari. Adabiyot tarixi Vatan tarixining ajralmas qismi bo`lib, ahamiyati jihatidan Fuqarolik tarixi, Davlatchilik tarixi, Madaniyat tarixi kabi tariximizning boshqa jabhalaridan kam emas. Adabiyot tarixi ma`naviy meros va milliy qadriyatlar majmuasi bo`lgani uchun ham u nafaqat o`tmish adabiyotini o`rganish va tushunishda, balki bugungi adabiy an`analarning mohiyatini anglashda, ildiz va manbalarini aniqlashda ham benazirdir. Tabiiyki, bugungi adabiyotning shakllanishiga ta`sir ko`rsatgan adabiy meros kelajakka ham asqotishi, buyuk davlatchilikning ma`naviy poydevori bo`lib xizmat qiladi. Hujjatlardan anglashilgan tarix qariyb uch ming yillikni o`z ichiga olgan ekan, adabiyot tarixi undan ham qadimiyroq ekani o`z-o`zidan anglashiladi. Dastlabki yozma yodgorlik sifatida tan olingan «Avesto»dan tortib to Istiqlol davri adabiyotiga qadar davom etgan adabiy-ma`naviy davr o`ziga xos tarix sifatida jahon adabiyotining ham uzviy qismi ekani, jahon ma`naviyati xazinaini minglab daho san`atkorlar hisobiga boyitgani barchaga oydin haqiqat. Ana shu muhtasham tarixning har bir davrida yaratilgan an`ana va o`ziga xosliklarini tushunish uchun adabiyotimiz tarixini davrlashtirish muammolariga e`tibor qaratish lozim. O`zbek adabiyoti tarixini, shuningdek, umumturk adabiyoti tarixini davrlashtirishga intilish XX asrning boshlaridan boshlangan. Ushbu yo`nalishda dastlabki tasnifni turk olimi Mahmat Fuod Ko`prulu 1926 yili yozgan «Turk adabiyoti tarixi» kitobida bergani ma`lum: 1.

  • DOWNLOAD 1 IPC Tajikistan Acutefi Situation
    FOOD SECURITY BRIEF – TAJIKISTAN (JUNE 2013) Key Findings and Issues The food security situation was analyzed in Tajikistan’s 11 livelihood zones for the period January to May 2013, and a projection was made for the period June to October 2013. The food security status of 3 percent of the population (about 152,000 people) in rural livelihood zones was classified as Phase 3 (Crisis). The status of 39 percent of rural population (about 2,285,000 people) was classified as Phase 2 (Stressed), while the remaining 58 percent (about 3,371,000 people) was classified as Phase 1 (Minimal). In general, food security was found to have improved since the previous period (October-December 2012), with highly food insecure areas in Phase 3 (Crisis) shifting to moderately food insecure status Phase 2 (Stressed). The main contributing factors to the improvement were increased remittances, good rainfall in spring and casual labour opportunities. The seasonal availability of pasture has also led to improvement in livestock productivity and value, better food consumption pattern. Seasonally, many alternative sources of food and income became available, which includes labour planting spring crops, labor in construction work, migration, etc. Spring rains in February-March 2013 have been adequate, leading to good prospects for the cereal harvest. According to the State Statistics Agency, during the first four months of the current year, in monetary terms, agricultural production was equal to TJS 1,133.4 million and industrial production (including electricity, gas, heating) amounted TJS 2,962.0 million, which were 7.5 percent and 5.8 percent respectively higher compared to January-April 2012.
