The article examines the theoretical foundations and evolution of the innovation process under accelerated technological development and the emergence of the seventh technological paradigm. The shift from linear to systemic multi-level models is shown to be driven by industrial development and growing global industrial integration. Special attention is paid to institutional and infrastructural mechanisms and to the supranational mega-mechanism shaping countries’ integration into global innovation chains. The importance of effective innovation mechanisms for states undergoing industrial-innovation transformation is substantiated.

Digital technologies are gradually becoming part of healthcare management and service delivery in Uzbekistan. In recent years, primary healthcare institutions have started using digital medical systems intended to simplify patient registration, improve access to medical information, and reduce paperwork. Despite these expectations, the implementation process has not always been smooth at the operational level. Healthcare workers often face technical, organizational, and administrative difficulties while using digital systems in daily practice. This paper examines the major challenges affecting digital transformation in primary healthcare institutions in Uzbekistan through a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare personnel working in primary healthcare settings. The findings show that unstable internet connection, system failures, excessive workload, incomplete system functions, and weak organizational support continue to affect the effectiveness of digital healthcare services. At the same time, participants acknowledged several positive aspects of the system, including online access to medical certificates and laboratory results. The study suggests that digital healthcare implementation cannot be understood only as a technological process. Organizational conditions, staff workload, management practices, and patient readiness also influence implementation outcomes. The findings provide practical insights for improving digital healthcare implementation in Uzbekistan.

The article examines at the regional level such indicators as population size, in particular, growth rates and the share of the economically active population, employment and unemployment levels, changes in the ratio of urban and rural populations, as sources of formation of the labor market. An analysis of regional similarities and differences in the dynamics of these indicators has been carried out. Based on the analysis of the trend in the share of the region's population in the country's population, it is assumed that this social process is an important factor in the economic process associated with the formation of labor resources and optimization of the labor market. In recent years, changes in the ratio of urban and rural populations have been assessed as a factor causing regional differences in the relative rates of the economically active population. It was revealed that the sources of formation of the labor market create a trend of change in the same time periods. It is explained that the jump points of unemployment levels in the regions are connected with the strong fluctuations in the growth picture of the economically active population. This is also based on the fact that the growth rate of the unemployment rate is not collinear with the growth rate of the economically active population.

Internationalisation has become a prime factor of competitiveness in the sphere of higher education, shaping global presence, image and abilities to employ graduates. In the case of emerging economies, it presents an opportunity to enter the global academic communities and be rated in world rankings. The aim of this paper is to address the issue of how the internationalisation enhances the competitiveness of universities in Uzbekistan through the interviews held and by referring to the relevant body representatives of different universities. The results indicate that, as much as Uzbek universities have embraced internationalisation, the challenge in their governance, allocation of resources and language capacity still exist. Internationally affiliated institutions like the Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT) and Webster University in Tashkent (WUT) can make use of international networks more efficiently in contrast to nationally based universities, which use strategies based on small steps, including the mobility programmes, and faculty training in foreign countries. The paper supports the view that the current internationalisation in Uzbekistan cannot be considered as a sustainable competitiveness issue unless it is integrated into the processes of teaching, research, and governance in the country.
