From Knowledge Loss to Capital Flows: How Uneducated Emigration Shapes Education and Regional Resilience in Uzbekistan

This paper investigates the relationship between the emigration of less-educated individuals from Uzbekistan and its effects on regional capital flows, educational disparities, and the potential for local economic resilience. Using panel data from 2010 to 2023 across Uzbekistan’s regions, the study examines how remittances, banking accessibility, and the share of uneducated emigrants influence regional education expenditures and gaps. Findings suggest that while remittances partially mitigate the adverse effects of human capital loss, regions with higher shares of uneducated emigrants experience slower educational development, widening disparities. Policy interventions focused on collaborative approaches between local governments, financial institutions, and civil society are proposed to harness remittance flows and enhance financial inclusion, ultimately fostering economic resilience and reducing educational inequalities.

BIM-Enabled Interpretation of Saudi Building Code Shear Wall Requirements for Mixed-Use Buildings

Purpose: this study aims to develop a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-enabled methodology that integrates Saudi Building Code (SBC) seismic detailing provisions for reinforced concrete shear walls into a rule-based parametric modeling environment. The research seeks to enhance compliance traceability, automate code interpretation, and improve quantity accuracy for mixed-use high-rise buildings with significant vertical zoning effects. Approach, Selected SBC shear wall provisions were translated into computable IF–THEN engineering rules linked to BIM parameters. The methodology incorporated vertical zoning, axial load ratio evaluation, rule-based reinforcement detailing, and automated quantity extraction. The framework was validated using a large-scale Saudi healthcare mixed-use case study through comparison of BIM-derived quantities with independent SBC-consistent reference calculations on a zone-by-zone basis. Findings, Results indicate that axial load ratio governs boundary element activation and confinement reinforcement demand. BIM-generated reinforcement distributions aligned closely with SBC intent, showing average differences of 2–4% for concrete volume, 3–6% for longitudinal reinforcement, and 4–8% for confinement reinforcement. Boundary confinement was concentrated within the lower 30–40% of building height, while zone-based detailing reduced upper-zone reinforcement by approximately 15–25%. Practical Implications, the methodology improves automated compliance verification, reduces overdesign, enhances reproducibility, and supports efficient structural modeling for complex mixed-use buildings. Originality/Value, the study establishes a direct digital linkage between SBC provisions, parametric BIM modeling, and automated structural quantity outputs.

Quantifying Geospatial Logistics Risks in Construction Supply Chains through an Integrated GIS-4D BIM Framework

Construction supply chains are inherently sensitive to spatial and logistical disruptions, yet conventional project planning approaches including standalone 4D BIM, rarely incorporate geospatial risk factors. This study proposes an integrated GIS-MCDM-4D BIM framework to quantify, simulate, and operationalize geospatial logistics risks within construction supply chains. The framework systematically translates GIS-derived spatial risk indicators such as supplier accessibility, transportation network variability, and route vulnerability into temporal constraints embedded in 4D BIM simulations. A real-world case study of a reinforced concrete project in Syria, involving multiple suppliers and a heterogeneous transportation network, is employed to validate the approach. Findings indicate that even minor spatial disruptions can cascade through interdependent construction activities, resulting in significant schedule delays. The integration of GIS and 4D BIM enables proactive, risk-informed planning, demonstrating that geospatial conditions exert a substantial influence on construction timelines. This framework advances beyond descriptive GIS applications by providing a quantitative, operational tool for enhancing schedule reliability, supplier selection, and decision-making in complex and unstable construction environments. The proposed methodology offers a transferable solution for managing geospatial logistics risks in diverse construction contexts.

Intuition as a Double-Edged Sword: The Paradox of Visionary Leadership and Market Discounting

In the contemporary landscape of corporate governance, the role of intuition in strategic decision-making remains a contentious economic variable. This paper explores a phenomenon where managerial intuition acts as a double-edged sword, capable of generating both a “visionary premium” and a “governance discount.” While traditional financial models emphasize data-driven rationality, top-tier executives frequently rely on strategic intuition to navigate high-entropy environments. Through a comparative analysis of market capitalization trends and investor sentiment, this study identifies the conditions under which the market rewards intuitive leaps as innovation or penalizes them as information asymmetry. Our findings suggest that the economic outcome of intuitive leadership is mediated by “institutional trust” and “past performance signals.” The paper concludes by proposing a framework for “Analytical Verification,” suggesting that the most resilient market value is created when intuitive hypotheses are filtered through rigorous quantitative stress-testing.

Global Food Market Integration and its Implications for National Food Security

The stability of global food markets has become a critical factor influencing national food security in many countries. In recent years, global food systems have experienced significant volatility due to economic globalization, climate change, geopolitical conflicts, and disruptions in international supply chains. These factors have increased the vulnerability of national food systems, particularly in countries that depend heavily on imported agricultural products. Therefore, studying the relationship between global food markets and national food security is highly relevant for ensuring sustainable economic and social development. The aim of this article is to analyze the impact of global food market dynamics on national food security and to evaluate the relationship between international food trade, food price volatility, and national food supply stability. The research is based on a quantitative analytical approach, including statistical analysis and comparative analysis of international food security indicators. The empirical analysis covers a sample of 20 countries, including 12 food-import-dependent countries and 8 agricultural exporting countries. The results show that the average Food Import Dependency Ratio reached 54.2% in import-dependent countries, while the average Global Food Security Index score was 62.4 compared with 71.8 in exporting countries. The study also identified significant volatility in the FAO Food Price Index, which increased from 98.1 in 2020 to 143.7 in 2022. The findings confirm that strengthening domestic agricultural production while maintaining balanced participation in global food markets can significantly improve national food security and enhance the resilience of food systems.

Increasing Bank Revenues through Open Banking and API-Based Services: Prospects for Uzbekistan

Presently, there has been increasing policy attention from financial regulators in emerging banking systems on the need to look into the institutional mechanisms that could strengthen revenue generation of commercial banks in digital banking ecosystems. This study was an attempt to highlight the role of Open Banking platforms and API-based financial services in determining bank revenue growth in digital banking markets & financial service ecosystems (Uzbekistan). Therefore, the empirical findings of the present study can be used to better comprehend how Open Banking frameworks could be implemented in enhancing bank revenue streams in Uzbekistan. The previously developed Open Banking adoption indicators, API service readiness indicators, and bank revenue determinants framework in digital financial studies were used to collect data from banking professionals in commercial banks and fintech institutions. AHP’s prioritization results and structural equation modeling results on Open Banking adoption and API service integration increased significantly after evaluation with the support of the SEM analytical model. Additionally, the results of AHP analysis showed that Open Banking services and API-enabled platforms were the main areas of priority to be adopted by commercial banks on the basis of revenue-generation potential and service-integration capability, respectively. Moreover, the results also showed that out of five determinants, API service integration played a significant role in linkages between Open Banking adoption and bank revenue growth. The implications derived from this study can be used for enhancing bank revenue diversification in the context of Open Banking ecosystems. The finding is important given that higher levels of the Open Banking infrastructure are often found in digital banking systems of developed economies which cost less per unit of financial transaction – as there is less manual processing involved.
