THE PROBLEM OF TRANSFERRING AND MUSEALIZING MONUMENTAL WALL PAINTINGS: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE VARAKHSHA AND PANJIKENT MONUMENTS

2026-09-13T13:39:12+00:00

This article examines the conservation of one of the most vulnerable categories of archaeological heritage—monumental wall paintings executed on clay plaster—through the case studies of Varakhsha and Panjikent. It comparatively analyses the reasons, methodology, and scholarly implications of the mid-twentieth-century practice of detaching wall paintings from their original setting and transferring them to museum collections. The study demonstrates that while this approach ensured the physical preservation of the paintings, it also resulted in the partial loss of their architectural and archaeological context. The article argues that in situ conservation should remain the preferred approach, with removal undertaken only when no viable alternative exists, and that comprehensive digital documentation should be an essential requirement in all cases.

2026-09-13T08:29:38+00:00

RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE FORMATION OF BIOETHICAL CULTURE

2026-09-20T13:56:54+00:00

The article analyses the religious and philosophical foundations of bioethical culture through comparative and hermeneutic approaches. Although bioethics emerged as a modern academic field, ethical ideas concerning the preservation of life, non-maleficence, assistance to the sick, the inviolability of the human body, and responsibility toward living nature were already articulated in ancient religious sources. The concepts of life, dignity, compassion, trusteeship, moderation, and moral responsibility in Zoroastrianism, Indian religious thought, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are comparatively examined. The study demonstrates that it is methodologically incorrect to interpret religious texts as a ready-made model of contemporary bioethics; rather, they constitute the axiological and motivational dimensions of the genesis of bioethical culture. Alongside the strengths of religious approaches, the problems of communal boundaries, paternalism, consent, and equality are critically assessed. The article concludes that reinterpreting religious heritage in accordance with contemporary principles of human dignity, autonomy, justice, and scientific responsibility is essential for the sustainable development of bioethical culture.

This article analyzes the strategies of political parties in engaging the youth electorate and their ideological transformation amid democratic reforms and the transition to a mixed (proportional-majoritary) electoral system in New Uzbekistan. The relevance of the study is determined by the high share of youth in the country’s demographic structure and the shift of traditional campaigning methods into the virtual environment. The systemic impact of digital branding and visual communication tools in the digital space — specifically targeted infographics, short-form videos (Reels, Shorts), and social media platforms (Telegram, Instagram, YouTube) — on the political culture and electoral activity of young people is examined from both theoretical-scientific and empirical perspectives. In the course of the research, a comparative and sociological content analysis of the digital platform assets of active political parties in Uzbekistan was conducted, uncovering the characteristics of subconscious and emotional (neuropolitical) perception among the younger generation. The article explores the ethical and legal criteria for utilizing information and communication technologies in an environment of inter-party competition. Furthermore, it develops practical recommendations for protecting voters from manipulative influences, fostering a culture of healthy political marketing in cyberspace, and enhancing the electoral attractiveness of party brands.

2026-09-20T12:50:33+00:00

This article provides a systematic analysis of the problems associated with the distribution of powers between central (republican) and local government authorities in the Republic of Uzbekistan.

Excessive centralization, duplication of functions, fiscal dependence, and the lack of normative consolidation of the principle of subsidiarity are identified as the key problems. Based on a comparative analysis of international experience, including the European Charter of Local Self-Government and the practices of Poland and Georgia, specific and evidence-based proposals are developed in five areas: fiscal optimization, decentralization across all sectors, staffing optimization, the transfer of powers and responsibilities to lower levels of government, and accountability of the lowest-level implementing officials.
