The structure and characteristics of chemical elements, by what principle they are indicated in the Mendeleev table, the amazing stories of their discovery and much more were told to pupils of secondary school № 14 of Zangiata district of Tashkent region by the head of the department of “Natural and mathematical disciplines” Turin Polytechnic University Tashkent, Doctor of Technical Sciences, academician Dilshat Ubaydullaevich Tulyaganov.

Introducing pupils to the topic of the lesson, academician Tulyaganov emphasized that the discovery of chemical elements took place over a long period of time. So carbon, sulfur, iron, copper, silver, tin, gold, mercury, and lead have been known since ancient times.

Arsenic, antimony, bismuth, zinc were obtained in the Middle Ages, and phosphorus, nitrogen, barium, beryllium, hydrogen, tungsten, yttrium, oxygen, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, platinum, strontium, tellurium, titanium, uranium, fluorine, chlorine, chromium, zirconium in the 17th and 18th centuries.  During the 19th century about 48 new elements were discovered, including aluminium, germanium, silicon, a number of alkali and alkaline earth metals, the inert gases helium, argon, neon, krypton, xenon radon, as well as lanthanum, lanthanides and many others.

Today there are already 118 chemical elements in the Mendeleev table – 92 of them are found in nature, the rest were obtained artificially – they are unstable and have short periods of existence. Chemical elements, all isotopes of which are unstable, are called radioactive and include all elements with atomic numbers higher than polonium.

In general, the lesson was conducted in an interactive question-and-answer mode, which allowed demonstrating the close connection between chemistry and other areas of natural science – mathematics, physics, biology, geography, geology, ecology. This form of the lesson allowed to show interest on the part of pupils due to their involvement in solving the issues under discussion.

On February 8, 2024 an event on the topic “Awareness is the need of the times” was held among the students of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, where S.S. Saidjalolov, a senior teacher of the International Islamic Academy of Uzbekistan, was invited as a guest.

In his speech, he talked about terrorism, radicalism, extremism, which are considered to be urgent problems, the involvement of young people in various negative impacts of foreign ideas, as well as the work being done to fight them in our country.

TTPU “Mechanical and aerospace engineering” department doctorate student Jasur Kholkhujaev has successfully defended his PhD dissertation at Politecnico di Torino (Italy) on the topic “Innovative geometrical and mechanical characterization of metallic components”, under the supervision of Prof. Gianfranco Genta (Politecnico di Torino) and Prof. Jamshid Inoyatkhodjaev (TTPU) and was awarded with PhD diploma.

👏On behalf of our university team, we congratulate Jasur Kholkhujaev and wish great success in his future professional and scientific activities.

Chemistry is one of the most important and extensive fields of natural science, that studies substances, as well as their composition and structure, chemical reactions, as well as the laws and patterns that these transformations obey.
          On January 20 and 27, 2024, the head of the Department of Natural and Mathematical Disciplines of TTPU, Doctor of Technical Sciences, academician Dilshat Ubaydullayevich Tulyaganov taught a lesson on the topic of chemistry basics with schoolchildren of secondary schools № 196 of the Almazar district of Tashkent and № 9 of the Tashkent district of the Tashkent region.

At the beginning of his speech, D.U.Tulyaganov focused on the activities of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, aimed at training highly qualified specialists for mechanical engineering, energy, industrial and civil engineering and other sectors of the national economy.

Introducing schoolchildren to the basic concepts and laws of chemistry, academician Tulyaganov emphasized that chemistry plays a huge role in human life. Everything that surrounds us – people, animals, plants, mountains, seas, objects – is directly related to chemistry. Based on the basic laws of chemistry, it is possible to conduct scientific research aimed at creating new materials.

During his lesson, the academician spoke about the thinkers of Ancient Greece and the encyclopedist scientists of the East Abu Raikhan Biruni, Ibn Sina and others, who made an invaluable contribution to the development of natural sciences, in particular their statements about the existence of extremely small, further indivisible material particles that make up the whole universe. The lecturer, in a very interesting and accessible form, introduced schoolchildren to the results of the scientific research of J. Dalton, J. Thompson, E. Rutherford and N. Bohr, who made an invaluable contribution to the evolution of ideas about the structure of the atom.

At the end of the classes, Academician Tulyaganov spoke about the history of the periodic law by D.I. Mendeleev. It was emphasized that the periodic system of D.I. Mendeleev became the most important milestone in the development of atomic-molecular science.

Students actively participated in the discussion and asked questions, demonstrating their interest and attention. The administration of educational institutions expressed the opinion that such events will help schoolchildren better decide on their choice of profession and build their life path.
