WILLIAM BLAKE�S: THE BOOK OF THEL. THE AESTHETIC VERSUS THE USEFUL?
Authors: Dimitrakopoulou Georgia
Published: May 2023

In The Book of Thel (The Book of ????, that is The Book of the Female), Blake�s main preoccupation, in my opinion focuses on the juxtaposition between the aesthetic and the useful, their antithesis and their synthesis to produce and explain the female identity. Knowing that Blake�s thought always moves in oppositional and synthetical structures, the useful versus the aesthetic is nothing more than the restless and perpetual fight of the dualisms of innocence and experience, energy and Urizen, imagination and reason. Taking into consideration that Blake�s dualisms are constructive rather than destructive, in The Book of Thel, he wonders and oscillates between the aesthetic and the useful. He attributes an indefinite, unclear kind of beauty to Thel, which is a progression of his thought since The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, where he associated the organs of reproduction with beauty, �the genitals Beauty�, the sublime and the beautiful together, that is the head and the genitals, a confirmation that �Man has no Body distinct from his Soul ��. This progression of his thought relates to the formation of what is commonly called beauty (aesthetic value), an ethical feminine development in contradistinction to use value the necessity of survival: �� without a use this shining woman liv�d, / Or did she live. to be at death the food of worms.� Nevertheless, the issue seems problematic. Thel, �the daughter of beauty,� finally is the �� beauty of the vales of Har.� (Har in Greek mythology, that is ????? is the ferryman who carried the dead to the underworld and the etymology of the word Har (X??-??) is an euphemism of the verb ?????, meaning enjoy, take pleasure in), thus signifying quite the opposite; that is the death of the aesthetic possibly in favour of the useful. Thel lives in a world of uselessness, depression, and oblivion. Thus, Blake�s Har and the Greek Har introduce death as Thel�s ultimate refuge. The question is: is Thel after having rejected the (her) use value, a mere aesthetic value belonging to Har? Or her aesthetic value in the real world, the world of experience equals death?
AGGRESSOR�S BEHAVIOR TERRORISM DETERMINANTS WITHIN NEW WARS
Authors: Puhach Viktoriia , Kostiuk Tetiana
Published: May 2023

The history of mankind demonstrates that the most difficult task has always been and remains the maintenance of society and social life in an orderly, balanced and dynamic state of optimal viability. The depressing regularity of social cataclysms, wars, crises and local conflicts convincingly testifies to the extreme complexity of this task. This complexity, however, does not negate the need and importance of scientific support for specific modern forms of violence and the development of new theoretical and empirical approaches to their research. The purpose of this article is to enrich, and, perhaps, even deepen, the modern understanding of the of �new wars� by means of detailed characterization of the aggressor's behavioral aberration within the analytical optics developed on the basis of such cruel and violent actions as terrorism.
The methodology of the given study bases on the principle of historicism allowing to consider the war in its development in space and time. Using the method of situational analysis at the example of Russian aggression against Ukraine, this study managed to avoid the gap between theory and practice. As well the article contains a researchanalytic review of the body of scientific literature, aimed at outlining the paradigmatic framework for conceptualizing the phenomenon of �new wars�.
While conducting the research it was found that the behavior of the aggressor in the conditions of the new war has a clearly expressed terrorism determinism, which qualitatively transforms the nature and methods of war. Within the analysis of the changing the war process format which is now based on the logic of terrorism, the study�s main emphasis is placed on two forms of terrorism - state terrorism and information terrorism. Reconstructing the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2022, it was found that the attribute characteristic of this war is the combination of two aforementioned forms of terrorism.
This article contains topics and provisions that may cause discussion. Nevertheless, it allows to go beyond the traditional discourse of security, provoking the exit of scientific research to a qualitatively new level of theoretical reflection of the modern security challenges emanation.

Published: May 2023

The number of the country's population has significantly decreased in the Baltic States over the last fifteen years, experiencing the highest wave of emigration in the years of the economic crisis, when many residents went to other countries to ensure higher incomes and material well-being in general. In the Baltic States, emigrants are mainly people of working age. This has an impact on the labour market and the national economy as a whole. As the role of the labour force in the formation of the national economy is very high, it is important to make correct and balanced decisions about the measures aimed at returning the labour force to the country, forming the remigration policy. The aim of the study is to analyse the remigration policy in the Baltic States in the context of general migration trends. The current study proposes the following hypothesis - the remigration policy in the Baltic States has been developed according to similar principles and includes a similar set of measure. The following research methods support the study: logicalconstructive method, scientific induction method, statistical data analysis method and graphical data processing method.
EUROPEAN PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE AND THE PRINCIPAL-AGENT PARADIGM. SUPRANATIONAL ORGANIZATION OR DELEGATED INSTITUTION?
Authors: Tudor Andreea-Loredana
Published: May 2023

The European Public Prosecutor's Office, a revolutionary novelty, has raised many issues and questions from the initial moment of the proposal of its creation in 2013 until now. Being a rather controversial topic, both among practitioners and theorists, the European Public Prosecutor's Office presents itself as an "unidentified flying object" among the European or national institutions of the EU Member States regarding the nature of this body, the way it works, the way of influencing the political decision and its competence, the corresponding policy, and the guiding governance, etc. Preventing and combating, investigating, and prosecuting crimes affecting the EU's financial interests is the core task of the European Public Prosecutor's Office. However, as we will see in this paper, the dynamics of globalization and the criminal phenomenon seem to hinder the proper functioning of this new body, the complexity of these crimes and causal links with phenomena such as terrorism, organized crime or trafficking of prohibited substances can influence the European Public Prosecutor's Office`s investigation and prosecution activities. This paper analyzes from an institutionalist perspective the emergence, evolution, and functioning, but especially the future perspective of this newly established body. Conceptually, the added value of the paper will be the political-legal analysis of how the European Public Prosecutor's Office was created, but also how it can actually work in relation to the national authorities and national law systems of the 27 Member States. Last but not least, this analysis wants to position the European Public Prosecutor's Office, together with other European bodies, agencies, and institutions, as a pillar in the European Union's path toward a possible future federalist scenario.
THE CHRONO-SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SOME DEMOGRAPHIC PECULIARITIES AT THE LEVEL OF THE DISTRICTS OF FAGARA? MUNICIPALITY
Authors: Boamfa Ionel
Published: May 2023

The article highlights the chrono-spatial distribution of the evolution of some demographic peculiarities at the level of the districts of Fagara? for almost a millennium, starting from the XIth century, until today. Thus, first of all, the evolution of the population is highlighted, as a whole and on the component districts. Closely related to this is the evolution of density, both for the settlement's total and at the district level. Also, based on documentary sources � statistical-fiscal (urbaria, conscriptions), before 1850, censuses (from 1850-2011) � and other (yearbooks, phone books, electoral lists, etc.), we have reconstituted the ethnic, linguistic and confessional structure of the population, both on the whole locality and on the districts. We note, on the one hand, an inconsistent, slow evolution, with demographic setbacks, in the Middle Ages and a continuous increase, after 1800 and, especially, during the communist period, of the population and its density, followed by a decline, after 1989. Regarding the ethnolinguistic structure of the population, at the background of the continuous presence of an important share of the Romanians, until the interwar period, inclusive, important communities of Hungarians, Germans (Saxons) and Jews were formed and lasted for centuries, which declined during the communist period: the Hungarians stagnated or, at the background of a modest birth rate, decreased their number and share, the Germans emigrated en masse to Germany, and the Jews � to Israel. In confessional terms too, the most important community remained the Romanian Orthodox, but with the presence, notable, until a few decades ago, of the denominations of other communities (Catholic, Calvin, Unitarian � for Hungarians, Lutheran � for Saxons, Mosaic � for Jews).
ADMISSIBILITY OF THE CONTESTATION REGARDING THE DURATION OF THE CRIMINAL TRIAL IN CASES WITH UNKNOWN AUTHORS
Authors: Lorincz Anca-Lelia , Stancu Adriana Iuliana
Published: May 2023

In the regulation of the current Romanian Code of Criminal Procedure (Law no. 135/2010, entered into force on February 1, 2014), the contestation regarding the duration of the criminal trial was conceived as a procedural remedy in the case of the lack of celerity of the judicial bodies. The lack of promptness of the criminal investigation bodies can lead to the violation of the fundamental right to resolve the case within a reasonable term, as a component of the right to a fair trial, enshrined in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (art. 6 par. 1). Starting from a recent decision of the supreme court in Romania (Decision of the High Court of Cassation and Justice no. 7/2022) pronounced in the resolution of a recourse in the interest of the law, the present work addresses the issue of the admissibility of the contestation regarding the duration of the criminal trial in the case of facts whose authors have not been identified. In this study, the following research methods are used: documentation, interpretation and scientific analysis (including the comparative analysis of some jurisprudential solutions). The study aims to contribute to the unified interpretation and application of the provisions relating to the special procedure of contestation regarding the duration of the criminal trial, as currently regulated in the Romanian Code of Criminal Procedure. The paper emphasizes the need to exercise the active role of the criminal investigation bodies in the administration of evidence, including in cases with unknown authors. The conclusion is that, considering the hierarchy of normative acts, the application of methodological norms (with lower legal force than the law) regarding the administrative organization of criminal investigation activities in cases with unidentified perpetrators cannot have the effect of diminishing the role of the contestation regarding the duration of the criminal trial, as a remedy in speeding up the procedure, when the judge of rights and freedoms finds that the reasonable duration of these activities has been exceeded.
HATE CRIMES: TRENDS IN LITHUANIA

Published: May 2023

Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected. Everyone has the right to respect for his or her physical and mental integrity. [1] Hate crimes are crimes motivated by racial, ethnic, or religious hatred or hostility. Media regularly reports violence against certain ethnic groups. Lithuania, like other EU countries, applies EU law directly or transposes it into national law.
These changes have also had an impact on the fight against hate crime, as this type of crime has received increasing attention from the international community in recent years.
Crimes of this sort not only cause physical and mental suffering or economic loss but also lead to changes in relations between different social groups, mistrust, suspicion, and hostility. These crimes can also lead to armed conflicts, forcing many people to flee their homes and seek asylum abroad. The increase in the number of victims of these crimes is a breeding ground for radical extremism and even terrorism.
Countries work on improving laws criminalising hate crimes.
Over the course of writing the present article, the author held meetings with representatives of the Jewish and sexual minority (LGBT) communities, conducted 35 indepth interviews with representatives of each group, and examined the EU and Lithuanian case law. Possible hate incidents recorded in the study range from verbal abuse to assault and knife stabbing. It has been found that people belonging to the Jewish and LGBT communities feel hostility not only from strangers but also from co-workers and peers. The Jewish community daily face anti-Semitic stereotypes and jokes, whether spoken directly to them or behind their backs. LGBT people also experience hatred from family members and relatives who not only stop communicating with them upon learning about their sexual orientation but also make insulting comments.
INTEROPERABILITY THROUGH DIGITALIZATION IN ROMANIAN AND EUROPEAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Matic Andreea Elena , Aghenitei Mihaela
Published: May 2023

In the present article we aim to analyze the fact that the quality of public administration and governance of a country is essential for its economic performance, and also for the well-being of the citizens of that country. Effective public administrations are at the service of citizens and businesses. It is essential that public authorities can adapt to changing circumstances. The European Commission helps EU Member States undertake reforms in public administration and governance by providing technical support. Areas of intervention include central public administration, local public administration, egovernment, public procurement, better regulation, the judiciary, the fight against corruption and fraud, and better absorption of European structural and investment funds. A key element of the technical support provided by the European Commission is aimed at improving the performance of public administration. An effective, flexible, and efficient administration is a prerequisite for the good management of a country, as well as a determining factor of economic growth. A functioning public administration provides a robust platform for business development and provides quality services to citizens and professionals. And this, in turn, attracts investment, being also an essential tool for structuring the government's activities and transforming political orientations into reality.
MIGRATION PROCESSES AND THEIR IMPACT ON CRIME

Published: May 2023

The article analyses the relationship between the migration process and crime, revealing European realities and future prospects. The specific nature of the phenomena under analysis means that the data required for a comprehensive analysis of the problem are not readily available, and the registered statistics do not reflect the real situation. a review of academic sources, statistical data, and empirical research, the paper identifies the factors that shape migration processes and crime. Empirical studies have confirmed the conclusion that many researchers have arrived at, i.e., that economic factors are of particular importance in migration processes.
Security and justice are areas where the European Union as a whole can do more to protect its citizens than any country individually. To combat terrorism, organised crime, drug and human trafficking, and irregular migration, the European Union has developed interagency cooperation (police, customs, and judiciary authorities), which is now part of the common rules binding on all Member States.
The paper aims to identify the areas of irregular migration facing the most crimes and provide recommendations on managing migration processes to reduce crime in Europe, thus creating a safer criminogenic situation.
PUBLIC INTEREST IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
Authors: Dinu Catalina Georgeta
Published: May 2023

The granting of exemptions in 2022 in Romania for the use of three neonicotinoid pesticides, considered toxic pesticides, harmful to bees, is considered "the beginning of a systemic crisis for environmental health and food security in Europe and globally". That is precisely why neonicotinoid pesticides, have been completely banned from the outdoor environment by the European Commission for eight years, after the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirmed their harmful effect.
This article also analyzes the provisions of art. 53 of the EC Regulation no. 1107/2009 regarding the market introduction of phytosanitary products and the repeal of Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC, which allows a derogation from this prohibition. In this situation, the Member State in question immediately informs the other Member States and the Commission about the measure adopted, providing detailed information about the situation, and the competent administrative authority (for example, the national phytosanitary authority) exercises controls on the ground. However, we are wondering what are the limits of these exceptions, when does the public interest begin and what does it refer to. Does the public interest refer to the provision of food for the population in the context of the war in Ukraine and this year's drought, or to the provision of the protection of the population's health through consistent public health measures? Are these goals contradictory? We will try to answer these dilemmas or create new questions that should lead to our final objective, namely the respect of the following human rights: the right to health, the right to a healthy environment and the right to a decent standard of living (which can include the state food security).

THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY � BETWEEN LIMITS AND IDEAL
Authors: Matic Andreea Elena , Tudor Florin
Published: May 2023

The right to liberty is one of the fundamental human rights. Over time, obtaining the right to liberty for people from different social categories (men, women, slaves, etc.) was in many occasions hard and it was achieved at the end of difficult ideological and political struggles. In this article we aim to analyze the equilibrium that exists in contemporary democratic society, between the liberty of each person on the one hand and, on the other hand, the exercise and protection of the other fundamental human rights: the right to life, health, physical and mental integrity and so on. We will analyze aspects related to the individual liberty in the matter of expressing opinions, the freedom in the choices we make, the freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of movement. For example, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic our liberty has been severely limited in order to protect the right to life and the right to health. We will analyze the concept of liberty in relation to legal and moral norms and taking responsibility for one's own decisions and their consequences. The idea of individual liberty is very important for each person, as it is one of the elements that allow us to think and believe that we are the masters of our lives. The right to liberty and the fundamental freedoms can be limited only in exceptional circumstances established through national and international legal provisions and we will refer to these limitations in our paper. Concluding, it is our opinion that the right to liberty and the fundamental freedoms must be respected for every individual and its restriction have to be seriously weighed.
TOWARDS A NEW CZECH APPROACH TO THE INVESTIGATION OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS CAUSES
Authors: Dobes Pavel , Martinikova Barbora
Published: May 2023

Industrial accidents, including major accidents involving hazardous chemicals, continue to occur around the world, and the trend, for example according to European Commission statistics, is not particularly downward. It is well known that the consequences of industrial accidents on human health and life, property and environmental components can be devastating. What may not always be identified, however, are the potential causes and possibly the culprits. It should be good practice for the process of identifying the causes and culprits of industrial accidents to involve the interaction and cooperation, not competition, of several stakeholders and institutions (police, fire brigade, occupational safety inspectorate, industrial enterprises, invited experts), depending on the specific legal and national environment.
This paper deals with the authors' previous practice and cooperation with the Police of the Czech Republic in the field of investigation, proposing a new systematic approach to the investigation of the causes of industrial accidents involving hazardous substances, trying to cover potential gaps in the existing process, including the necessary annexes and supporting materials. In cooperation with selected commissioners of the Police of the Czech Republic, a new methodology for determining the causes and investigation of industrial accidents was proposed, respecting the current new knowledge and techniques in the field of criminalistics and expert activities. The draft methodology was also created in accordance with traditional Czech criminalistic practice and methodology, the Czech Criminal Procedure Code (no. 141/1961 Coll.), the Criminal Code (no. 40/2009 Coll.) and last but not least the relatively new Czech Act on Experts (no. 254/2019 Coll.).

Authors: Lee Sook Ling , Dhillon Guru
Published: May 2023

Transgenders are those whose sex assigned to them at birth i.e., male or female, does not conform with their current perceived gender. Since transgenders are considered by the traditional binary male or female society as deviating from the established gender norms, they often face humiliation, discrimination or social exclusion. This paper examined the approaches made by the authorities of Malaysia and England when dealing with transgender issues. The authors employed a doctrinal research method for this paper. The authors collected data from relevant legislation, case law, textbooks, journal articles, statistical reports, press reports, and reliable websites. In addition, this paper highlighted the current laws that are in place to deal with transgender rights in both jurisdictions. This paper serves as a good source of reference to legislators, lawyers, academics, students, and the public at large and it creates an awareness pertaining transgender rights in the jurisdictions of Malaysia and England.
TRENDS IN FORENSIC DIDACTICS IN LITHUANIA: DIALOGUE VECTOR
Authors: Kurapka Vidmantas Egidijus , Malewsky Henryk , Matuliene Snieguole , Kriksciunas Rolandas
Published: May 2023

The need for innovative changes in the fight against crime and the necessity to revise the established paradigms of forensic science was bound to reflect in forensic didactics. The academics� expectations of practice not only call for a new approach to the content and forms of legal education but also for a dialogue with students, who are increasingly shifting from passive consumers of knowledge to active participants in the study process to eventually become the future initiators and implementers of innovation. Although the authors of the present article have been working with forensic didactics for decades, they are constantly looking for new forms and methods of didactics to apply the achievements of forensic didactics in the practical activities of law enforcement institutions as effectively as possible. One of the examples is the new study programme Law and Forensic Science, available at Mykolas Romeris University as of 2020. This bachelor�s study programme was designed upon holding a discussion with the Lithuanian Ministry of Education, Science and Sports and taking into account the National Courts Administration�s request to step up the teaching of forensic science and forensic examination at Lithuanian universities; furthermore, as the study process has been launched, a student opinion survey is now carried out on a regular basis. The questionnaires, as well as this publication, aim to not only analyse and evaluate students� reasoning behind choosing this programme, their attitude towards the study process, and their expectations regarding their future profession, but also to promptly improve the online study process. Surveys are carried out upon enrolment and after each year of study, or even after each semester, to find solutions and accordingly adjust some elements and processes of the curriculum. The present article introduces the key results of three questionnaires. The surveys indicated a further increase in the level of relevance of forensic classes, a pragmatic understanding of the role of forensic knowledge and skills in future employment, the relationship between theoretical and practical classes, and the directions of professional competence development.
COMPOSITE INDEX FOR QUANTATIVE ASSESSMENT OF FORESTRY COMPANIES COMPETITIVENESS
Authors: Kolev Konstantin , Milchev Galin
Published: May 2023

The goal of present study is to propose reliable composite index for quantitative assessment of competitiveness of forestry companies on the basis of data from Training and Experimental Forest Range �G. Avramov�, Yundola. Concerning this some multidimensional statistical methods that permit quantification of complex indicator as competitiveness are studied. On this grounds for obtaining composite index (quantitative assessment) of the level of competitiveness of forestry companies the implementation of factor analysis and linear ordering in multidimensional space are justified. Through these methods and on the basis of system of indicators and subindicators developed within the framework of scientific project NIS-B-1140 financed by University of Forestry-Sofia [1, 2] the competitiveness of Training and Experimental Forest Range �G. Avramov�, Yundola during the period 2010 � 2021 is assessed through composite indices construction. Their comparative analysis gives grounds to be concluded that in the ordering of Training and Experimental Forest Range �G. Avramov�, Yundola by level of competitiveness during the years no significant differences are observed, i.e. both methods permit objective quantitative assessment of the level of competitiveness during the different years (in concrete case they are the units in the studied multitude). The disadvantages of factor analysis in forestry companies competitiveness assessment are mainly associated with some basic requirements for its implementation and namely: the number of observations should be at least 50; variables have to be correlated. The application of the method of linear ordering in multidimensional space is not associated with such limitations, which makes it universal in assessing the competitiveness of forestry companies through composite index construction especially when the number of observations is limited. At the same time the factor analysis is more sensitive to changes in the values of the studied subindicators than the method of linear ordering in multidimensional space. It also defines the variable that contributes mostly for determining the number of factors.
IMPACT OF WATER RESOURCES PRODUCTIVITY ON GROSS VALUE ADDED IN BULGARIA
Authors: Shuleva Nevena , Kolev Konstantin , Tsoklinova Maya
Published: May 2023

In recent decades, the importance of water resources for the Bulgarian economy has become increasingly significant. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to construct a complex index of water resources productivity, which will allow the regions in Bulgaria to be ranked according to the amount of water used by economic activities and the level of economic growth. This objective has been achieved by performing factor analysis based on four indicators �water used in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector, incl. irrigation, the industry sector, the service sector and the gross value added at factor cost (GVA) as a measure of economic growth. The data for the abovementioned indicators has been obtained from the National Statistical Institute for 23 regions in Bulgaria for 2018. On the basis of the obtained correlation coefficients, it has been determined that there is a very strong relationship between GVA and the amount of water used for economic activities. At the same time, a complex index has been obtained for each of the 23 regions by means of a linear aggregation of the weighted factor results obtained from the performed factor analysis. Based on it, it is possible to make specific recommendations for the rational use of water resources in order to achieve higher economic growth.

Published: May 2023

Erasmus+ mobility programmes are an integral part of the Brno University Technology internationalisation strategy. The university needs to create appropriate conditions and offers for students in its action plans. These action plans. Within the framework of these action plans, the university cooperates with international mobility ambassadors. These are students who have taken the opportunity to study or do a practical internship abroad. Each ambassador represents a country, university or other institution from which they have personal experience. The main aim of the ambassadors is to motivate other students to go abroad.
The methodological part will use a quantitative analysis based on the following variables: number of outgoing students and geographical data. The basic method of data processing will be regression analysis and average growth coefficient. The data will be from the period 2007-2021.
The purpose of the paper is to predict students` interest in students` exchange programmes at foreign universities and, according to their preferences, to adjust the action plan of a portfolio of foreign institutions. The main output will be a framework structure of locations of foreign institutions suitable for foreign students` exchange programmes. An important output is to use the data to identify a core portfolio of countries where students go to study. An interesting finding is that the UK was one of the most preferred countries, however, after Brexit, student interest in this country is decreasing. The presented portfolio can serve the readers of the article to compare the results with their universities within Europe.
MANAGEMENT ISSUES IN SOCIAL ECONOMY ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: Szabo Bela
Published: May 2023

The article presents a pragmatical and practical solution in probably one of the most divergent interdisciplinary science fields, called social economy. As the size of it is impressive in Europe, operationalized by the number of organizations and the employees involved, there is a need from the professionals to build a common understanding and knowledge. The cultural, historical and economic background of the countries (mainly from EU, but not exclusively) led to various understanding of social economy. The solution proposed and presented in the paper describes a cross-European project for renewing Social Economy master program�s curricula through a collaboration of 6 partners from 4 countries. The results of effort to build common knowledge, clarify definitions, approaches, define and describe types of organizations and business models on the field are included in teaching and learning materials. The challenges for the management in this area are also handled with special attention and included in a collection of working tasks and game simulations. Social economy organizations are in need for staff with specific competences, not only due to the characteristics of the area but also to fulfill the new trends in management, including sustainability management and green management. In the following years, graduates with adequate knowledge from these master programs will form the staff members of these organizations.
METRICS AND INDICATORS OF REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Turlakova Teodorina
Published: May 2023

The economic development of the regions in Bulgaria is characterized by growing regional business differences. The transition in a substantive and retrospective plan from an exogenous approach to the development of regions to an endogenous one puts the questions of entrepreneurial activity and its regional determinism in the center of research.
In economic and management literature, concepts such as "regional entrepreneurship", "rural entrepreneurship", "entrepreneurial activity" and others have gained wide popularity, which describe entrepreneurial activity from the point of view of the relationship with the characteristics of the region and regional development. Regional entrepreneurial activity as an indicator is used in analyses, comparisons and evaluations of differences in the levels of spread and development of entrepreneurship in individual regions.
In its metrication, the following metrics are often used: rank of formation of new companies in a specific region; general index of entrepreneurial activity in the initial phase of the entrepreneurial process; "breadth" and "depth" of regional entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship breadth and depth), characterizing the territorial dispersion and concentration of high-value entrepreneurs for the region, etc.
In this regard, the purpose of the report is to reveal the levels of territorial disparities in Bulgaria's entrepreneurial activity through scientifically based and popular metrics for its metrication. Local government measures to overcome regional disparities should be based on objective empirical analyzes and comparable indicators such as the Total Early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA Index); Index of Theil et al. This report clarifies the main characteristics of regional business models, their manifestations and trends, including those based on green investments.

Emphasizing the successful fulfilment of the functions / goals of higher education institutions and thinking about its sustainability and competitiveness, its personnel must act professionally, flexibly and innovatively, ensuring the continuity of administrative processes, meeting the needs of internal / external customers. The aim of the research � to study what factors promote innovative behaviour of university administrative personnel during remote management. Research questions are: Which factors of administrative personnel remote management significantly promote innovative behaviour? Which factors of administrative personnel remote management hinder innovative behaviour during remote work? Is there statistically significant correlation between remote management of administrative personnel and employee performance as a significant facilitator of innovative behaviour? Which impact factors are the most important for increasing work performance? Survey consists of 52 statements and 11 variables to find answers to important factors of remote work and management - work organization, technical support, communication between employees and managers, worklife balance, specifics of time planning, socialization opportunities, work performance control opportunities, employee motivation, flexibility and openness to innovative actions when working remotely. Sample of the research - 160 respondents - administrative personnel of the university, who are responsible for the provision of administrative functions - study process, human resource management. Hindering factors to innovate are the lack of feedback and encouragement, being insufficiently informed about how to act in non-standard cases, low initiative to suggest innovative solutions to problems and lack of confidence, that employees work in a contemporary organization. Strengthening of the leadership, learning about it, team building, and time management are important for personnel openness.

Published: May 2023

Smart development is a problem examined by many research studies, and the scientists note that the concept of smart economy becomes increasingly popular in scientific and practical strategy documents. The documents refer to small and medium enterprises implementing the Industrial Revolution 4.0 as smart companies, which are the basis of economic growth. The smart specialization strategy of Latvia states that more innovations are needed for a more productive economy and the development of more valuable products, and digital transformation becomes a crucial prerequisite for the future growth of companies. To succeed, a company needs to be aware of the most important competitive advantages. Business prospects are largely shaped by the efficient investment and innovation activity of a company and the application of modern technologies in the production and management of the company.

The issues of comfortable human existence in the Arctic region arise in the context of growing interest in the Arctic, active development of its resources, with geopolitical problems at once. The external visual environment is essential, which is lacking in color and detail. The vast expanses of snow, the absence of visible elements, and the colorless palette (from white to blue) form a monotonous, uncomfortable field of view. The mechanisms of visual perception do not work correctly and can lead to the development of stressful states in these conditions. The duration of work shifts can be a cause of chronic stress. We studied the features of eye-tracking and the autonomic nervous system's response in the visual perception of homogeneous and comfortable images. Images according to the classification of V. A. Filin, photos of shift complexes, a constant urban settlement in the Arctic region, created a visual environment of different comfort (homogeneous and comfortable). Activation of the sympathetic nervous system was registered when viewing an uncomfortable visual space. Significant changes in the static and dynamic parameters of eye-tracking were detected, confirming the development of a stress reaction in the body.

The purpose of the research was to find out whether social service workers perceive close clients as dependent on the care provided. The so-called phenomenon of power and powerlessness can arise from this. We found out whether they are aware that there can be situations in social services where close people of clients feel subjective helplessness. This may result from the hopelessness of their situation, depending on the care of another person provided by the social service. This is also related to finding out whether the workers feel that they are an equal partner within the professional boundaries, and what strategies are used in solving different situations. The research is based on a qualitative data collection design, using the semi-structured interview method. As part of the presented research, some markers were identified that may have an influence on the given issue. It is especially respectful of communication and general system limits of social service providers.
The results of the research can bring insight into the broad issue of communication and boundary aspects that may occur in connection with the care provided in the field of social services. They can contribute to the enrichment of knowledge about ethical issues in the field of helping professions.
