However, the rapid integration of AI technologies has raised significant ethical concerns, requiring rigorous scrutiny to ensure their responsible and equitable use. This study aimed to explore the ethical considerations and strategies related to the implementation of AI in healthcare through a systematic review. A systematic search identified 243 publications published between 2019 and 2025 that were initially identified. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 papers were selected for final synthesis to assess ethical concerns and strategies related to AI in healthcare. The analysis identified key ethical concerns, categorizing them into six distinct groups: (1) Transparency and Trust, (2) Bias and Fairness, (3) Privacy and Data Security, (4) Accountability and Responsibility, (5) Ethical and Moral, (6) Regulatory and Legal. Additionally, several ethical strategies were identified in the implementation of AI systems, including adherence to ethical principles, standards, and frameworks; transparency and bias mitigation; monitoring and auditing of AI systems; and stakeholder involvement and governance in decision-making processes. This review emphasizes the importance of addressing these ethical concerns to ensure the successful implementation of AI technologies in healthcare. The findings provide valuable insights and recommendations for stakeholders, including developers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, to guide the ethical deployment of AI decision support systems in healthcare.

The spatial and planning solutions of underground spaces in business centers are considered, combining the functions of shelters and parking. This approach promotes the efficient use of limited urban areas, which is highly relevant for modern urban development. Such multifunctional complexes not only address the issue of parking shortages but also integrate into the city’s infrastructure, creating opportunities for economic and social activity. The integration of shelters and parking facilities is a logical step that optimizes land use and provides civil protection for the population, highlighting the dual value of such structures. Designing these spaces requires an understanding of construction standards, safety requirements, and ergonomics to ensure maximum functionality and comfort. Efficient use of underground areas also reduces the load on surface land, freeing it up for green zones and sustainable urban development. These spaces serve not only as parking facilities but may also include commercial, administrative, and technical zones that meet the demands of the urban environment. The shelter function is fundamental in contemporary design amid conflicts and emergencies. Underground parking facilities can be quickly transformed into fully functional civil protection shelters equipped with life-support systems. This dual-purpose use of space demands a special approach to planning and engineering systems to ensure rapid transformation and compliance with safety regulations (DBN). Such solutions increase urban resilience and population safety. Underground spaces are equipped with modern engineering systems: water supply, ventilation, fire safety, heating, cooling, and automation. These systems enhance both efficiency and safety. Ventilation ensures air quality, while fire safety systems provide automatic suppression and evacuation. Automation optimizes system operations and reduces energy consumption. Modern monitoring systems and intelligent parking management improve functionality. The implementation of BIM technologies supports coordination and resource management. The design of underground spaces is based on the principles of flexibility and adaptability. Their function can change without significant capital investment. For example, part of a parking facility can be temporarily converted for exhibitions or events. This flexibility is valuable for business centers aiming to maximize asset utilization. The combination of functionality and engineering solutions defines the current trend in underground space design — the creation of multifunctional and adaptable environments. These can serve various purposes: parking, retail spaces, gyms, or data centers. This reflects the global trend toward multifunctionality in urban spaces and sustainable development. The development of such projects requires the involvement of highly qualified specialists. The implementation of new technologies is an integral part of the process. Ultimately, these underground complexes become key elements of modern infrastructure, contributing to economic growth, quality of life, and urban resilience.

Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are central to the development of ultrafast, low-power all-optical signal processing systems. Their strong nonlinear response, compact size, and compatibility with photonic integration platforms make them key enablers for implementing all-optical logic functions beyond the limitations of electronic switching. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of the principal SOA technologies used in all-optical logic gate implementations, including conventional bulk and quantum well SOAs, quantum dot SOAs (QD-SOAs), photonic crystal SOAs (PhC-SOAs), reflective SOAs (RSOAs), and carrier reservoir SOAs (CR-SOAs). For each architecture, we examine the carrier dynamics, gain recovery mechanisms, saturation behavior, and fabrication considerations, together with their associated nonlinear effects such as cross-gain modulation, cross-phase modulation, and four-wave mixing. We further evaluate reported implementations of key logic operations—AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR—highlighting performance trade-offs in terms of speed, extinction ratio, operational power, integration complexity, and scalability. The review concludes with current challenges and emerging research directions aimed at realizing fully integrated, high-speed, and energy-efficient all-optical logic systems based on next-generation SOA technologies.

Introduction . The article examines the current issues of digitalization in the countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), driven by fundamental shifts in the global economic architecture post-2022. Geopolitical transformation and sanctions pressure have significantly impacted the pace of technological modernization in the member states. The SCO countries, possessing substantial economic potential (accounting for nearly half of global GDP and the world's population), have faced the need to accelerate the development of digital infrastructure to ensure technological sovereignty. Materials and methods . The research is based on official documents and strategic materials, including national digitalization programs of SCO member states, such as the "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" program, China's "Digital China" initiative, and India's "Digital India" program. Official reports from ministries and agencies, documents of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, as well as materials from SCO forums and working groups on the digital economy, including the outcomes of the Tianjin Digital Economy Forum 2025, were analyzed. The author employed methods of induction, deduction, generalization, synthesis, and comparison for systematic analysis. Results of the study . The study revealed a significant acceleration in the pace of digital transformation within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries in the period after 2022. A sustained positive trend is observed in key digitalization indicators across both the real and financial sectors of the economy. SCO countries demonstrate diverse models of digital transformation, shaped by their level of technological development, institutional specifics, and national policy priorities. Discussion and conclusion . In the real sector of the economy, the most significant results have been achieved in the oil and gas industry. The implementation of digital twin technologies for fields has optimized exploration and production processes, reducing operational costs by 15-20%. The establishment of Drilling and Well Construction Control Centers has become a key achievement in the digitalization of the fuel and energy complex – these systems enable 24/7 monitoring and process optimization, reducing the well construction cycle by 40% on average across the industry. The Industrial Internet of Things is being actively implemented at enterprises, with Chinese companies leading in creating "smart factories" with automation levels of up to 90%, while Russian industrial enterprises have achieved a 25-30% increase in labor productivity through digital equipment monitoring systems. The financial sector of the SCO countries shows impressive digitalization results. National fintech initiatives demonstrate rapid development: the Russian Federation has successfully implemented a fast payment system and launched pilot projects for the digital ruble, China is expanding the use of the digital yuan in cross-border settlements, and India has achieved significant success in developing the Unified Payments Interface, indicating successful development of mechanisms to reduce dependence on the dollar system. However, significant challenges were also identified. Infrastructure problems remain a major barrier – the uneven development of telecommunications infrastructure is particularly evident in rural and remote regions of Central Asia, where broadband internet penetration does not exceed 40%. Regulatory barriers, including differences in personal data legislation and the lack of mutual recognition of electronic signatures, complicate cross-border information exchange. The shortage of qualified personnel is estimated at 1.5-2 million people among SCO countries, with a significant gap between industry requirements and the competencies of graduates from educational institutions.

The development of modern residential areas has accelerated the adoption of smart home technology as an effort to enhance energy efficiency and residential comfort. However, the level of user adaptation to such technology is not determined solely by technical aspects but is also influenced by socio-cultural factors inherent to users. This study aims to examine the effects of social values, needs, and social relationships (X1), as well as economic context and accessibility (X2), on the level of user adaptation to adaptive smart home technology (Y) in the Grand Duta City Bekasi residential area. This study employed a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis involving 144 respondents residing in landed housing units. The results indicate that, partially, both social values, needs, and social relationships (X1), as well as economic context and accessibility (X2), have a significant influence on user adaptation to adaptive smart homes (Y). Simultaneously, these independent variables are also proven to explain variations in user adaptation levels. These findings suggest that the successful implementation of smart home technology strongly depends on its alignment with community social values, supported by economic capacity and ease of access to technology.

This study investigates the impact of digitalization on civil servants’ work culture at the Class I Navigation District of Ambon, addressing a gap in the literature regarding the integration of New Public Governance (NPG) principles with technology adoption in geographically fragmented public institutions. The urgency of this research is underscored by the operational context of high-risk maritime environments, where effective service delivery is critical for safety and organizational reliability. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected over three months through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis with 15 purposively selected informants across generational and hierarchical groups. Triangulation ensured methodological rigor, while interactive data analysis allowed themes to emerge inductively and in alignment with theoretical frameworks. The study applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the ADKAR change model to interpret both psychological and procedural aspects of digital adoption. Findings indicate that digital systems, including AIS, MaritimHUB, E-Kinerja, SIK, SRIKANDI, E-Correspondence, SIMAN, and SAKTI, have significantly transformed operational and administrative work culture, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. Top-down directives combined with structured training facilitate adoption, yet barriers such as uneven system use, digital literacy gaps, and infrastructure limitations remain. Aligning technological implementation with organizational change and collaborative governance principles is critical for sustaining effective digital transformation. The study recommends continuous capacity-building, infrastructure improvements, and integrated application management to strengthen digital work culture and service quality.

Purpose This study contributes to the growing body of research on co-creation in primary healthcare by highlighting the complex and evolving relationship between municipalities and welfare technology providers. Drawing on the framework of “co-creation,” the study aims to illuminate the dynamic interplay between technologists and other stakeholders in shaping healthcare services. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach utilising reflexive thematic analysis was employed. The study consisted of 17 semi-structured interviews with healthcare managers from three municipalities and technologists from four private welfare technology companies. Findings In this study, three overarching themes were developed: (1) Welfare technologists enter the public sector arena from below, (2) Bridging sectors: The growing complexity of municipality–technologist collaboration, and (3) Skill expansion – an impact of emerging technologies. Our findings indicate that co-creation fosters balanced partnerships, with processes characterised by consensus and shared goals. Rather than passive recipients, municipal actors actively shape healthcare services. While welfare technologists are seen both as partners and vendors, municipalities maintain a strategic role in procurement and in aligning technological solutions with public service values. Research limitations/implications One notable limitation is the exclusive focus on the provider side of healthcare services, omitting the perspective of patients and their relatives. This focus is justified by the underexplored role of technologists in health services research, despite their crucial influence on the valuation and implementation of technology. The participant selection process, which involved managers recommending additional participants, ensured relevance but may have introduced bias based on managerial attitudes. However, the data does not indicate significant bias, as participants expressed both positive and negative perspectives. A key strength of this study lies in its dual perspective, incorporating insights from both private-sector technologists and public healthcare managers and professionals. The analysis highlights the complexity of integrating welfare technology into primary healthcare systems. By employing a co-creation framework, the study sheds light on the distinct roles of co-creators and offers valuable insights into how these actors navigate the intersection of care work and technological development. Social implications The increasing role of welfare technologists in healthcare raises important questions about control, autonomy, and the future governance of welfare technologies. It may reflect a broader shift in healthcare governance, where healthcare services are co-constructed through cooperation, mutual learning, and the balancing of technical possibilities with care values. Originality/value A key strength of this study lies in its dual perspectives, incorporating insights from both private-sector technologists and public healthcare managers and professionals. It explores how technologists have positioned themselves as key actors in the primary healthcare sector and reveals that technologists strategically present themselves as well-informed about the sector’s challenges. This enables them to gain acceptance within municipalities, where they are recognised as important partners in shaping healthcare services.

Under the dual impetus of China’s digitalization strategy and rural revitalization initiatives, rural social governance has entered a key phase of digital transformation. As artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies are increasingly integrated into governance platforms, the capacity for AI-augmented human-data collaboration is becoming essential to effective multi-stakeholder interaction. Sustainable multi-stakeholder collaboration (SMC) represents both a core requirement and central value of rural digital governance. This study investigates the determinants of SMC and proposes strategies to enhance stakeholder synergy. Through grounded theory analysis of semi-structured interviews with 26 rural digital governance practitioners, six key factors were identified: (1) awareness intensity, (2) technical adaptability, (3) institutional completeness, (4) scenario compatibility, (5) interest relevance, and (6) situational appeal. These factors were validated via structural equation modeling (SEM) using 1,370 questionnaire responses. The results show that all six factors significantly promote SMC (β = 0.109–0.184, p < 0.001), with awareness intensity and interest relevance having stronger effects. Based on the findings, this study proposes strategies including strengthening publicity and guidance, implementing tiered training, promoting data interoperability, safeguarding public rights, optimizing evaluation mechanisms, and refining institutional frameworks to support sustainable collaboration. This research advances understanding of sustainable governance and provides insights for policy development and implementation of digital technologies in rural China. By highlighting the cognitive and technological dimensions of stakeholder collaboration, it offers an empirical basis for integrating AI-supported human-data interaction into rural governance, paving the way for more adaptive and inclusive digital governance systems.
