AKHP Public Lecture: Study on Adaptation of Agricultural Crops in Tajikistan and Afghanistan in Light of Climate Change
AKHP Public Lecture: Study on Adaptation of Agricultural Crops in Tajikistan and Afghanistan in Light of Climate Change
The problem of global climate change in the course of human impact on the environment is extremely topical for individual societies, in particular, and the whole world community, in general. Over the recent period, large quantities of species, forms, kinds, families and varieties of local flora and fauna have disappeared, especially in mountainous regions of the world, including Tajikistan. On the other hand, risks associated with global warming continue to pose new challenges for the state, scientists and the population, to ensure food security in the future.

AKHP Public Lecture: The Origin of Life and Evolution of its Forms

Many ancient authors linked the origin of life to a divine creative act. This point of view lies outside the scientific sphere and scope of our discussion.

Public Lecture: Modern Socio-linguistic and Ethno-linguistic Challenges: A Case Study of Tajikistan
It is assumed that globalisation in the modern world is limited to the economy, politics and culture. However, globalisation also relates to languages. Currently, several languages dominate international literature, narrowing the terminological functioning of national languages. The status of languages is defined in the global, regional, official, national or local context. It relates to the functioning of a language in the global, politico-territorial and local space. This, as well as other dimensions, will be discussed in this lecture.

Public Lecture: Reflections on the History of Pamir Peoples Through Language
Public Lecture: Reflections on the History of Pamir Peoples Through Language
Research on Pamir languages provide valuable information on the history and culture of the Pamir people. Linguistic materials allow historians to reconstruct history, the migration and process of resettlement of Iranians in their new areas of dwelling. Elements of ancient religions, family trees and historical phenomena are documented through language. Phonetic and lexical analysis of Pamir languages indicate that the process of settlement of Pamirs could go from west, to east and southern parts of the region. Moreover, the process of unification and assimilation of the Pamir peoples proceeded peacefully and covered a large historical period. However, it is difficult to determine whether the Pamiri people were original inhabitants or relocated like other ancient people living in the region.
