Uzbekistan and France Discuss Cooperation in Aviation and Education
The State Transport University of Uzbekistan held discussions in Tashkent regarding prospects for cooperation with France in the fields of education, modern technologies, and aviation. The meeting took place with the participation of the French Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Walid Fouke, and Gulnoza Ismailova, chairman of the 'El-Yurt Umidi' foundation. One of the topics discussed was the possible extension for another year of the grant that supports the work of the 3D EXPERIENCE center established at the university. This center functions as an educational platform for developing students' practical skills in digital technologies and engineering solutions. The parties also focused on training specialists for the aviation industry. The possibility of providing five students from the State Transport University of Uzbekistan with training funded by a grant at Airbus and the National School of Civil Aviation of France (ENAC) was considered. ENAC specializes in training personnel for civil aviation, offering programs in areas such as aeronautical engineering, pilot training, air traffic control, and other sectors of the industry. The participants also examined the potential for expanding educational and professional opportunities for students through a partnership with Airbus. Following the meetings, the parties agreed on the need to focus on further practical steps to develop current projects and implement planned initiatives. It is expected that the continuation of cooperation will contribute to the introduction of modern technologies into the educational process, the expansion of international study opportunities for students, and the support of specialist training for the transport and aviation sectors.

PhD student transforms Kerala University balcony into vertical garden for wellness
Fifty square feet on the first-floor balcony of the University of Kerala's Faculty of Botany have been transformed into a green corner. This area is now decorated with plants, pebbles, wind chimes, a small waterfall, and chairs. Fourth-year PhD student Reshma PR conducts research focused on indoor air-purifying plants, paying special attention to formaldehyde—a pollutant found in enclosed spaces due to paints, detergents, and other sources. Her experiments have shown that certain types of houseplants are capable of eliminating formaldehyde compounds. She notes: 'People spend most of their time indoors between homes, offices, and vehicles.' This garden was created under the guidance of Dr. Bindu R Nair and utilizes local plants such as Sansevieria, fern, Hemigraphis, Drosera, and happy bamboo, owing to their purifying properties. The plant selection was based on NASA research referenced by Reshma. Furthermore, the garden adheres to the University of Kerala's 'green protocol,' using biodegradable and eco-friendly materials for pots and elements. Reshma describes this 50-square-foot space as an indoor wellness garden. Every detail, from the plants themselves to the waterfall and wind chimes, is designed to promote relaxation and restore mental balance. Visitors are asked to leave their mobile phones and consciously rest here for at least half an hour, enjoying the scents of the plants, visual pleasure, and the soothing sound of the wind chimes. Visitors must remove their shoes and walk barefoot on the pebbles. Reshma explains that this is primarily done to achieve an acupressure effect from the earth, which is beneficial for the nervous system. Dr. Bindu, who helped shape this wellness garden, adds: 'When people come to the library, they are naturally overloaded. They can come here and find peace of mind.'
