These expressions play a significant role in literary and artistic discourse by not only enriching the language but also reflecting cultural and psychological aspects of a community. Figurative expressions, such as metaphors, metonymies, personification, similes, and others, contribute to deepening the meaning and impact of communication. The analysis of figurative expressions in both English and Uzbek languages provides valuable insights into the structural and semantic properties of these devices, as well as their cultural and linguistic nuances. This article presents a detailed structural analysis of figurative expressions in English and Uzbek, comparing their syntactic, morphological, and semantic characteristics.</p> Mokhinur Baratboyevna Nizomova Gulnoza Rasulova Copyright (c) 2025 Mokhinur Baratboyevna Nizomova, Gulnoza Rasulova https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-06-09 2025-06-09 5 04 1 9 10.37547/supsci-jsru-05-04-01 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE POWER SYSTEM IN THE PROCESS OF ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS IN UZBEKISTAN https://topjournals.uz/index.php/jsru/article/view/454 <p>This article analyzes the strategic essence, institutional foundations, and practical outcomes of the administrative reforms implemented in Uzbekistan between 2016 and 2024.

The author presents Roman architecture as a "floating" text rather than merely construction: the Romans asserted their dominance through spectacles, triumphal arches, and monumental buildings such as the Colosseum. The invention of concrete, the role of aqueducts, oaths, and epigraphy are each interpreted as "criminal texts" of the Roman Empire. The paper provides a qualitative analysis of architecture as a political tool, as well as the role of architecture and engineering in the broader context of human history. These structures remain captivating and culturally significant even today; colonnades and monuments continue to resonate in our time.</p> Nargiza Karimova Timur Alimov Copyright (c) 2025 Nargiza Karimova, Timur Alimov https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-10-03 2025-10-03 5 04 53 56 10.37547/supsci-jsru-05-04-09 HUMAN CAPITAL AND EDUCATION: A KEY FACTOR FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT https://topjournals.uz/index.php/jsru/article/view/452 <p>This article explores the concept of human capital, its connection with education, and its role in sustainable development.
