Current Traditional litigation in courts is still considered as the main dispute resolution forum for civil disputes. However, as a result of the digital revolution of society, traditional litigation has become very slow, expensive, formal, and complex. To meet the requirement of the digital age regarding the resolution of disputes, Online Dispute Resolution which is a combination of Alternative Dispute Resolution with Information Communication Technology, has become the new trend for resolving disputes. This article critically examines the use of Artificial Intelligence in ODR and gives some successful examples of global ODR services.

The need for convergence of best practices in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cannot be overemphasised in an increasingly digitalised world. This undoubtedly led to the introduction of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) few decades ago which is considered a fast, seamless, and convenient means of dispute resolution. With the increasing prominence of e-commerce transactions, several countries and regions of the world are on the quest to provide an effective legal framework for ODR in e-commerce dealings. This article analyses the approaches to ODR legislations for consumer protection in selected jurisdictions. The article finds that a comparative legal approach with some leverage on legal borrowing can help to create the required legal environment for ODR in other jurisdictions.

The use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has permeated every profession, sector and facet of life. Although it has been slow in its application to legal practice in Nigeria, the prospect of ICT in law is promising and unending and it has resulted in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Law. AI and Law has many branches of which legal document automation forms an important part with high applications to drafting agreements. The paper examines the functionality of a programme written by the first author that automatically generates land sale agreements between natural persons, with the aim of ascertaining if the programme conforms with the appropriate provision of applicable laws. The paper examines the laws applicable to land sale agreements in Nigeria and finds that the document produced by the programme conforms with the provisions of these Laws. The paper also examines the issues that may arise in the use of the programme or similar programmes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently put forth a Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020 - 2025 with several countries having already achieved key milestones. We aimed to understand whether and how digital health technologies (DHTs) are absorbed in Africa, tracking Ethiopia as a key node. We conducted a systematic review, searching PubMed-MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, African Journals Online, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform databases from inception to 02 February 2021 for studies of any design that investigated the potential of DHTs in clinical or public health practices in Ethiopia. This review was designed to inform our ongoing DHT-enabled randomized controlled trial (RCT) (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04216420). We found 23,897 potentially-relevant citations, among which 47 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising a total of 594,999 patients, healthy individuals, and healthcare professionals. The studies involved seven DHTs: mHealth (25 studies, 573,623 participants); electronic health records (13 studies, 4,534 participants); telemedicine (3 studies, 445 participants); cloud-based application (2 studies, 2,382 participants); genomics data (1 study, 47 participants); information communication technology (2 studies, 551 participants), and artificial intelligence (1 study, 13,417 participants). The studies targeted six health conditions: maternal and child health (15), infectious diseases (11), non-communicable diseases (3), dermatitis (1), surgery (3), and general health conditions (14). The outcomes of interest were feasibility, usability, willingness or readiness, effectiveness, quality improvement, and knowledge or attitude towards DHTs. Four studies involved RCTs. The analysis showed that although DHTs are a relatively recent phenomenon in Ethiopia, their potential harnessing clinical and public health practices are highly visible. Their adoption and implementation in full capacity requires more training, access to better devices such as smartphones, and infrastructure. DHTs hold much promise tackling major clinical and public health backlogs and strengthening the healthcare ecosystem in Africa. More RCTs are needed on emerging DHTs including artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, genomics data, cybersecurity, telemedicine, and wearable devices to provide robust evidence of their potential use in such settings and to materialize the WHO's Global Digital Health Strategy.

Quality Of Higher Education

Abstract The problem of professional training of skilled human personnel in the industry of information communication technology, the urgency of which is recognized at the state level of Ukraine and the world, has been considered. It has been traced that constantly growing requirements of the labour market, swift scientific progress require the use of innovative approaches to the training of future ІТ specialists with the aim to increase their professional level. The content of standards of professional training and development of information technologies specialists in foreign countries, particularly in Japan, has been analyzed and generalized. On the basis of analysis of educational and professional standards of Japan, basic requirements to the engineer in industry of information communication technology in the conditions of competitive environment at the labour market have been comprehensively characterized. The competencies that graduate students of educational qualification level of bachelor in the conditions of new state policy concerning upgrading the quality of higher education have been considered. The constituents of professional competence in the structure of an engineer-programmer’s personality, necessary on different levels of professional improvement of a specialist for the development of community of highly skilled ІТ specialists, have been summarized. Positive features of foreign experience and the possibility of their implementation into the native educational space have been distinguished. Directions for modernization and upgrading of the quality of higher education in Ukraine and the prospects for further scientific research concerning the practice of specialists in information technologies training have been suggested
