Advanced Technologies as a Solution for Transportation Challenges in Developing Megacities: The Positive Case of China

Said Gulyamov — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0300

Rapid urbanization in developing megacities like Beijing has led to pressing transportation challenges, including severe traffic congestion, increased emissions, and poor road safety. This paper examines how advanced software systems, new technologies, and innovative engineering solutions adopted in Beijing can serve as models for sustainable transportation improvements in other emerging megacities. Intelligent transportation systems, advanced traffic control platforms, autonomous vehicle networks, smart mobility apps, big data analytics, and cloud computing have positively impacted congestion, emissions, and safety in Beijing. Developing cities must adopt and localize such software-driven tech innovations within collaborative frameworks to make measurable progress on intricate transportation issues.

Theoretical Foundations and Ethical Considerations in Quantum Law

Islombek Abdikhakimov — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This article explores the emerging field of quantum law, examining its theoretical foundations and the ethical considerations that arise from the intersection of quantum mechanics and legal theory. As quantum technologies advance, legal systems face unprecedented challenges in adapting to a reality where traditional concepts of causality, locality, and determinism are called into question. This research synthesizes insights from quantum physics, legal philosophy, and ethics to construct a framework for understanding and addressing the implications of quantum phenomena in legal contexts. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and theoretical analysis, we identify key areas of impact, including privacy, intellectual property, and criminal justice. The study concludes by proposing guidelines for the development of quantum-aware legal systems and highlighting the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in shaping the future of quantum law.

Impact of E-Governance on Public Service Efficiency

Joldasova Shaxnoza — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This study examines the complex relationship between e-governance implementation and public service efficiency across diverse socio-economic contexts. Through a comprehensive review of recent literature, the research investigates how digital technologies reshape government operations and citizen interactions. The analysis reveals that while e-governance generally leads to improvements in service delivery, cost reduction, and increased transparency, these benefits vary significantly based on factors such as technological infrastructure, digital literacy, and specific service domains. The study challenges assumptions about immediate efficiency gains, particularly in developing countries where initial costs may increase due to the need for parallel traditional systems. The research emphasizes the importance of context-specific approaches, continuous evaluation, and addressing digital divide issues for successful e-governance implementation. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of e-governance's impact on public service efficiency, offering valuable insights for policymakers and public administrators navigating the digital transformation of government services.

Problems of Admissibility and Reliability of Metadata as Evidence

Zhanagul Balkibayeva — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This paper examines the challenges surrounding the admissibility and reliability of metadata as evidence in civil proceedings. It explores the legal standards, authentication issues, and technical complexities involved in presenting metadata in court. The study analyzes key legal cases, technical methodologies, and emerging technologies that impact the use of metadata as evidence. It addresses concerns such as metadata alteration, spoliation, privacy issues, and cross-border challenges. The research highlights the importance of forensic soundness, expert testimony, and proper interpretation of metadata in legal contexts. Additionally, it discusses the application of traditional evidence rules to digital information and the evolving standards for burden of proof in electronic evidence. The paper concludes by considering future challenges posed by emerging technologies and the need for ongoing legal and technical education in this rapidly evolving field.

Anti-corruption and Compliance Control Practices for Identifying and Evaluating Corruption Risks

Murodullo Ahmadjonov — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This article explores advanced international empirical practices for identifying and assessing corruption risks in public administration, highlighting the successful measures implemented by various developed nations. While it is impractical to fully replicate these systems, the insights gained from their experiences can inform and enhance domestic anti-corruption legislation. The Republic of Moldova, Slovenia, and South Korea serve as a case study, having made significant strides in combating corruption, as evidenced by their 2023 score of 42 points, 37 points, and 32 points respectively on the Transparency International index. This article examines the methodologies adopted by the aforementioned countries for assessing corruption risks within public administration, emphasizing the importance of public involvement and institutional accountability in mitigating corruption. By analyzing these countries' approaches, the article aims to provide valuable hands-on experience and guidance for other nations, including my country, Uzbekistan, seeking to improve its anti-corruption efforts on the whole in the fast-paced world.
