The Leadership Triad in Digital Construction: A Behavioral Model for ISO 19650 Adoption

Purpose – ISO 19650 plays the most important part within the current digital transformation of the construction sector. However, the implementation of this ISO 19650 standard faces major challenges that primarily involve organizational and personal aspects. Based on this context, the current research aims to fill the "digital leadership gap" through exploration of critical factors for effective implementation from the perspective of interrelations between different leadership styles and change management strategies. Design Methodology – This current research used a mixed-methods design that combined quantitative and qualitative research. The case information was collected from 104 participants who answered the questionnaire. Additionally, seven in-depth interviews were conducted with experts from the sector. These were stratified because they targeted two opposing contexts: on one side the United Kingdom (because the motivation is obligatory for the whole organization), while on the other side Saudi Arabia (due to motivational ambitions that fall into the framework of "Vision 2030"). Results – The quantitative results showed that transformational leadership style and effective systematic change management were the most essential factors that influence successful implementation. Furthermore, the results confirmed that the directive style was not significant on the whole. These results were deepened from the quantitative results using the complementary information that showed that leaders who use "behavioral flexibility" have better potential to balance transformational (to create vision), participative (to induce ownership), and directive (as tactics on critical points) approaches. Results demonstrated that the initial context of leadership had significant influence on the initial phase of change management. Practical Implications – Given the findings from this current research, the ILCM (Integration of Leadership and Change Management) framework was proposed. According to the results, it was clear that the key factor to ensure the achievement of change management in any organizational context was the strategic integration of leadership qualities. These findings led to providing specific advice that urged all organizations to improve "leadership flexibility" among their leaders and change management strategies embodied in plan design. These advice urged researchers and designers of change management strategies to incorporate leadership strategies into every stage of change management. Additionally, they considered the specific context depending on the motivations. Originality Value - The originality and value addition of this research work arise from its ability to offer an integrated model that captures the dynamic interplay between the theory of leadership and change management in order to fill the gap that exists between theory and practical applications in the construction industry. The research also adds to the existing knowledge base through its comparison approach that gives an accurate interpretation of how the digital transformation routes are affected by the impact of numerous factors of influence.

Strategic Management in Transitional Higher Education Systems: Evidence from Uzbekistan

Since 2017, Uzbekistan has undertaken unprecedented reforms in its higher education sector, transforming universities into central actors within the national “Third Renaissance” and the “Uzbekistan–2030” Development Strategy. While these reforms have expanded access, introduced international standards, and diversified institutional structures, a critical gap persists between policy intent and institutional implementation. Therefore, this study investigates how higher education institutions (HEIs) in Uzbekistan manage reform at the institutional level and identifies the structural barriers that hinder long-term global competitiveness. Drawing on theories, the paper conceptualizes strategic management in HEIs as a dynamic interaction between internal resources, external pressures, leadership agency, and stakeholder expectations. Based on this theoretical integration and contextual analysis, the study proposes a context-specific framework built on five strategic pillars: Human Capital, Research Capacity, Educational Differentiation, Internationalization, and Digital Strategy. These pillars provide a practical roadmap for transforming Uzbek universities from administratively managed entities into strategically governed, innovation-driven organizations. The findings demonstrate that global competitiveness in higher education depends not on expansion alone, but on the quality of strategic management within institutions. Bridging the gap between reform legislation and practice requires empowered leadership, professional management structures, and a clear strategic vision.

Renewable Energy as a Driver of ESG Transformation of the Energy Complex and Industrial Clusters in Uzbekistan

This article examines the role of renewable energy (RES) as a key driver of the ESG transformation of Uzbekistan's energy sector and industrial clusters. Based on data from international organizations and specialized analytical reviews, the electricity sector's high dependence on natural gas (approximately 76% of generation in 2023) heightens energy security and sustainability risks amid declining gas production and rising electricity demand. An integrated framework for ESG energy transition management (ESG KPIs + scenario-based effects model) is proposed as a methodological solution, focusing on industrial cluster chains (textiles, construction materials, chemicals/metallurgy, and agro-industrial processing). An assessment of the economic effects of replacing gas-fired power generation with RES is conducted under a scenario in which target benchmarks are achieved by 2030 (scaling RES to 21–27 GW and increasing the share of RES in the electricity supply). The results show that the introduction of renewable energy sources in combination with energy efficiency at the cluster level can provide a sustainable economic effect through the release of gas (alternative cost of fuel), a reduction in electricity costs and losses, an increase in investment attractiveness, and access to “green” financing in the logic of the national green taxonomy.

Evaluating the Sustainability Criteria of the Damascene Islamic House Based on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

This study examines the architectural elements that characterize the Islamic style, such as the inner courtyard, mashrabiyas (latticework screens), windcatchers, and others, explaining their role in achieving a balance between human needs and climatic conditions. It also explores the traditional building materials used in the Damascene house and their role in providing thermal insulation and adapting to the surrounding environment. The study employs a descriptive-analytical approach, collecting data through an analysis of historical and contemporary literature on the Damascene house as a model of traditional Islamic architecture. This includes the use of sustainable materials (stone, tuff, wood, etc.) and designs that achieve energy efficiency and rely on renewable energy sources (mashrabiyas, windcatchers, and inner courtyards). These elements are then compared with their counterparts in modern architectural designs. To assess the sustainability of the Damascene house, it was evaluated using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system. The number of points it could receive if it met the LEED assessment criteria was calculated, and its sustainability rating was determined. The LEED system assigns several ratings that reflect the degree of sustainability achieved by a building: Standard, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The study concluded that the high level of sustainability provided by the Damascene house makes it a successful sustainable model that combines Islamic cultural heritage with harsh and challenging climatic conditions. It received a Platinum rating with a sustainability score of (82.85%). This underscores the need to draw inspiration from the creative elements found in the Damascene house in modern building designs, achieving significant economic savings and reducing negative environmental impacts. A set of recommendations and proposals was developed to utilize the elements and components of the Damascene Islamic house in achieving the desired sustainability.

Analysis of the System of Factors Affecting Efficiency in the Process of Increasing Production Efficiency

This study analyzes the system of factors affecting production efficiency in the context of increasing production efficiency under conditions of innovative economic development. The research emphasizes rational resource use as a key driver of sustainable industrial growth and competitiveness. Based on a system approach, efficiency factors are classified into macro- and micro-levels, as well as internal and external environments, with a particular focus on controllable micro factors. Using the input–output framework and a case-oriented analysis of porcelain production, the paper identifies labor, capital, raw materials, energy, technology, and inventory management as the most influential internal factors. The findings show that coordinated management of these factors, supported by feedback mechanisms and strategic resource management, can significantly improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance product quality.

Interactive Teaching Methods in Higher Education: An IMRaD-Based Framework and Empirical Evaluation Protocol

Interactive methods are increasingly used in higher education to improve engagement and learning outcomes; however, universities often lack a reproducible procedure for selecting methods, sequencing them within a class, and evaluating effectiveness with comparable indicators. This research article develops and reports an IMRaD‑aligned framework for integrating interactive methods into university classes and provides an empirical evaluation protocol that can be implemented in practice. The study uses a mixed design: (i) a structured literature synthesis on active learning, cognitive engagement, and instructional design, and (ii) a quasi‑experimental classroom evaluation protocol (recommended for adoption) combining observation, short surveys, and learning analytics from digital tools (polling/quizzes, interactive whiteboard logs, and learning management systems). Results are presented as an operational toolkit: a taxonomy of interactive methods and didactic functions, a method–outcome–motivation mapping, a standardized 90‑minute lesson architecture, implementation checklists, and a monitoring model with defined indicators for achievement, participation, and motivation. The discussion highlights how method coherence across lesson phases supports cognitive activity as a unity of perception, reasoning, and practice, and outlines limitations and future research using experimental designs. The article contributes practical instruments for evidence‑based teaching and offers a pathway for universities to move from descriptive claims about ‘interactivity’ to measurable improvement.

Enhancing the Effectiveness of NGO Project Management through International Best Practices: A Comparative Analysis

Non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs) play a critical role in addressing social challenges and supporting sustainable socio-economic development. The effectiveness of their activities largely depends on the quality of project management systems. While developed countries have established advanced institutional and managerial frameworks for NGO project implementation, many developing countries, including Uzbekistan, continue to face limitations related to funding, professional capacity, and monitoring mechanisms. The aim of this study was to assess international best practices in NGO project management and identify applicable directions for improving project effectiveness in Uzbekistan. A comparative analytical approach was applied using secondary data from the United States, Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Uzbekistan. The analysis focused on public funding volumes, adoption of international project management standards, monitoring and evaluation effectiveness, and the share of certified project managers. The results demonstrate a significant performance gap between Uzbekistan and developed economies. The study concludes that systematic integration of international standards, strengthened monitoring systems, and professional certification are essential for improving NGO project effectiveness.

A Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Enhanced Detection of Zero-Day and Ransomware Attacks

The increasing sophistication of ransomware and zero-day attacks demands advanced intrusion detection systems. This paper proposes a hybrid deep learning model that combines Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, augmented with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for feature selection. Evaluated on the UGRansome dataset, our hybrid TCN-LSTM-PCA model achieves superior performance compared to standalone LSTM, TCN-PCA, and LSTM-PCA baselines, attaining 98.82% accuracy (a 4.09 percentage-point improvement over LSTM-PCA) and 0.99 F1-score across all attack classes while maintaining computational efficiency at 13 seconds per epoch. The architecture’s effectiveness stems from its synergistic design: TCN layers capture local temporal patterns in network traffic, while LSTM modules model long-range attack sequences. PCA preprocessing reduces feature dimensionality by 83%, retaining seven critical indicators including Netflow Bytes and Protocol flags that collectively explain 92% of variance. Experimental results demonstrate exceptional robustness, with only 0.18% misclassification between attack categories and consistent performance across ransomware variants. This study sets a new state of the art in real-time threat detection, delivering an efficient hybrid architecture that satisfies practical deployment constraints while achieving 98.82% accuracy and 0.99 precision, thereby striking a strong accuracy–efficiency balance.
