Nature in the Vedas: Sources of Life and Psychic Healing
Authors: Pokharel Bishnu Prasad
Published: February 2025

This study explores the Vedas' portrayal of nature as a primal force that rejuvenates humanity, fostering a harmonious world characterized by ecological equilibrium and bestowing a pantheistic quality upon natural beings and objects. The hymns of the Vedic Samhitas advocate for nature as a powerful agent capable of alleviating the grief and anguish of modern society. Divinity, as invoked in the Vedas, reflects a sense of equality among gods, humans, animals, and natural objects. This paper employs an eco-critical lens to analyze select hymns from the Rig Veda, arguing for the interconnectedness of all earthly beings and objects. By intertwining divinity with nature, the Vedas highlight the inherent significance of the natural world. The study draws on eco-critical theory as analyzed by Helgeson (2012), Vakoch and Mickey (2018), Horton (2020), Filipova (2022), and Misiaszek (2023) to rationalize the interrelation of the Earth's constituent parts. Nature theory posits that nature fosters peace and sustainability—a concept already envisioned in the hymns of the Rig Veda. Therefore, this study concludes that the Vedas emphasize a symbiotic bond between nature and humanity, creating a synergistic world. A peaceful mind, as suggested by the Vedic mantras, can be achieved by valuing and integrating natural beings and objects into everyday life. Although Vedic scriptures have traditionally been revered as religious texts, they gain greater significance when applied practically for the betterment of humanity.

Circular Economy and Financial Accounting
Authors: Mosko Aida
Published: February 2025

Financial accounting has an important role in managing finan­cial information in the circulating economy. The transition from a linear economy to a circular economy requires innovation in all parts of the life cycle of materials and various challenges related to proper and effective fi­nancial accounting. At the core of this economic model is the development of a sustainable process throughout the life cycle of products, from produc­tion to the final stage. Through finance and accounting, the business has the ability to keep track of its financial health and reliability and also drive the transaction towards the circular economy.

The accounting and reporting techniques designed for the linear economy are not the right ones to represent the value of circular businesses. Account­ing must analyse and report to all relevant stakeholders of a company on financial and non-financial performance and enable them to understand the value and impact of the circular economy. To achieve this goal, our cur­rent way of doing business must change, and accounting has a major role to play in that. This paper aims first to identify and analyse the main finan­cial accounting challenges related to the circular economy and also to draw attention to the importance of redefining value, impact and risk to advance the circular transition and expand business opportunities.

Population Mobility and Green Transition – Contribution to Sustainable Development
Authors: Gavrić Olga , Jovanović Tatjana
Published: February 2025

The population represents a special subsystem and one of the spatial elements that is extremely variable in terms of its structure and dy­namics. Thanks to this, it constitutes a basic component of every society that has a great influence on its functioning. Spatial mobility arises main­ly as a consequence of globalization and the rapid development of technol­ogy. On the other hand, industrialization and climate change have empha­sized the need for a green transition. In this regard, migrations from rural to urban areas can be seen as a supporting element of the acceleration of the green transition and the achievement of long-term sustainability.

Digital Nomadism in a Contemporary Business Environment
Authors: Milošević Žikica , Ivanišević Andrea , Lošonc Alpar , Bolesnikov Minja , Pavlović Aleksandra
Published: February 2025

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was essential to ensure the envi­ronment and the techniques for remote work, which was strongly advised for health reasons. After the pandemic was officially over, the companies under­stood that many workers were better off in that working mode, while some of them enjoyed coming back to the offices – it was connected to many person­al factors, among which motivation was one of the crucial ones for employ­ees, and the trust and control was crucial for employers. Some employees felt cut off from the corporate culture, thus feeling like “gig-workers” and craved to come back to their offices, while some of them felt uncomfortable coming back from the serenity of their homes and “digital nomadism”. In fact, digitisa­tion of the world hand in hand with globalisation has led to new opportuni­ties in reshaping the workplaces, such as remote work and so-called digital no­madism. Digital nomadism refers to the work practices far from the office, usu­ally from another town, country or continent, and it has brought many ben­efits like increased productivity and cash influx in less developed areas of the world, together with a sense of freedom, but they have also brought the sense of loneliness, uncertainty, financial difficulties, increased risk, and transnation­al gentrification. Many countries around the world, especially during and af­ter the COVID-19 pandemic, stepped out with measures aimed at enabling the digital nomads with adequate visas. Serbia is one of the countries with a high influx of digital nomads, that have changed its economy and culture.
Can Hypnosis Develop Emotional Intelligence and Employees’ Skills?
Authors: Khefacha Ahlem , Séllei Beatrix
Published: February 2025

Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to qualities and skills beyond tradi­tional intellectual and technical competencies. EI proved to be an essential skill that goes alongside leadership skills, positively impacting organizational be­haviors and business outcomes and influencing overall work performance. EI is important in organizational settings in three ways: the leader’s EI, the employ­ee’s EI, and the emotional climate of groups and teams. Few studies showed that happier people produce more GDP, so the positive effects are countable in busi­ness. People have different levels of EI, but nowadays, workplaces do not focus on developing such soft skills yet. However, we can see that the development of EI could be beneficial. One possible way to develop EI is using coaching hypnosis, which has been used in the workplace to improve organizational skills.

This paper examines hypnosis professionals’ feedback on hypnosis use for the development of emotional intelligence and employees’ skills. The study follows a qualitative methodology with a questionnaire built to investigate the opinions of professionals. The primary results show that hypnosis can be used to develop emotional intelligence and employee skills in general.

The study aims to underline the effectiveness of hypnosis at workplaces and, based on this, to offer a potential development strategy for emotional intelli­gence to enhance company success based on employee success. In this paper, we’ll present concrete techniques based on professionals’ answers to improve leaders’ skills to be transformative and resonant leaders.
The Appreciation of the National Currency in Albania: Does Informality Matter?
Authors: Karma Emiljan
Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify the factors that contributed to the ap­preciation of the Albanian LEK against the EURO, given the increasing euroi­zation of the Albanian economy. The study uses ARDL analysis and quarter­ly data from 2008Q1–2023Q3 to examine the primary influences on curren­cy exchange rate variations, as per economic theory.

The study’s findings indicate that conventional economic variables have lit­tle impact on exchange rate variations. However, the study found that remit­tances and GDP do have a significant impact on the EUR/LEK exchange rate.

This study also leaves room to highlight the role of informality in explaining this phenomenon. Therefore, policymakers may need to intervene in this situa­tion, through formal channel transactions (using financial institutions), which must be carried out in the LEK currency, and secondly, through a monetary in­tervention aimed at creating a more balanced EURO/LEK exchange rate.

Crisis transformations as a factor in the development of adaptive management of industrial enterprises
Authors: RUDNICHENKO Yevhenii , KORBUT Dmytro
Published: February 2025

The active development of crisis phenomena and digital transformation processes in the national economic space creates new prerequisites for the functioning of enterprises, which are characterized both by the formation of additional opportunities and by an increased vulnerability to modern challenges and threats. According to many researchers, the presence of contemporary challenges and threats significantly alters the economic conditions in which domestic enterprises operate, requiring special attention to the mechanisms for managing their competitive advantages. The ability of business entities to operate efficiently in an increasingly competitive environment, rapidly adapt to changing market conditions, and actively utilize intellectual and human capital becomes a key factor in their competitiveness in the digital economy.
The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of crisis transformations on the development of adaptive management of industrial enterprises in the context of the digital economy and martial law.
The impact of the large-scale invasion on the domestic economy has deepened and exacerbated existing problems and created a number of unprecedented challenges: Destruction of infrastructure (bridges, roads, warehouses, production facilities and other critical infrastructure), which complicates business logistics and disrupts supply chains; millions of Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in safer regions of the country or abroad, resulting in labor shortages in some industries, as well as growing social and economic problems; a significant reduction in consumer and investment demand, which negatively affected the revenues and profitability of many businesses; supply disruptions, destruction of production facilities and inflationary pressures have led to a significant increase in prices for goods and services, which negatively affects the budgets of businesses and households. All this requires businesses to adapt and reorient quickly.
Today, we can identify the types of crises that were not typical for the domestic sector of the economy until recently, but the military aggression of the Russian Federation and the development of digitalization and artificial intelligence technologies have made it necessary to take into account the risk factors and hazards resulting from military conflicts (loss of access to markets and resources, physical destruction of infrastructure, migration of personnel and consumers; increased general uncertainty and risks for business) and further digitalization of economic processes (lack of digital skills).
Thus, today we can talk about the undeniable relevance of studying the impact of crisis transformations on the modern business environment. In the context of high dynamism of economic, technological and social factors, enterprises are forced to restructure their strategies and operating models to maintain competitiveness and viability in the market.
HYDROGEN ENERGY AS A KEY ELEMENT OF UKRAINE'S ENERGY-EFFICIENT ECONOMY
Authors: KRAVCHYK Yurii
Published: February 2025

This article analyzes the role of hydrogen energy as a strategic component in shaping Ukraine's energy-efficient economy. It highlights that hydrogen energy is a crucial direction capable of ensuring the country's transition to an energy-efficient economy based on the rational use of natural resources. The article notes that the development of hydrogen energy contributes to diversifying Ukraine's energy balance and implementing innovative technologies in various sectors of the economy, particularly in industry, transport, and the energy sector. It is emphasized that Ukraine has significant potential for integrating hydrogen technologies due to its natural resources and geopolitical position. The production of "green" hydrogen can enhance the country's energy independence and promote its integration into the European energy market. According to estimates from the International Renewable Energy Agency, Ukraine has a high potential for renewable energy development, particularly in wind and solar power, exceeding 400 GW. However, to effectively utilize this potential, it is necessary to address the issue of instantaneous energy distribution and consumption, which can be achieved through "green" hydrogen technology. The article states that hydrogen energy plays a crucial role in achieving carbon neutrality goals under the "Net Zero 2050" initiative, while the European Union considers Ukraine a strategic partner in developing hydrogen energy, contributing to the implementation of pan-European climate goals. The article also examines the importance of developing a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of hydrogen technologies in Ukraine, including state initiatives, financial and economic incentives, the development of research infrastructure, and the integration of hydrogen technologies into key economic sectors. Notably, projects such as the "Odesa Hydrogen Valley" and "Zakarpattia Hydrogen Valley" contribute to developing hydrogen infrastructure and integrating Ukraine into the international energy network. The article emphasizes the need for active cooperation between government agencies, research institutions, and businesses for the successful implementation of the hydrogen strategy, which will help Ukraine become a significant player in the international hydrogen energy market.

Digital Transition and Work Pedagogy
Authors: D’Aniello Fabrizio
Published: February 2025

The article addresses the relationship between productive work and the digital transition from a pedagogical perspective, focusing in particular on the role that this transition can play in expanding co-educational opportunities linked to the relational sphere. Going beyond the purely economic and functionalist purposes of a neoliberal performative rationality, the argument highlights the importance of an ethical-communicative-emotional training to promote mutual recognition and thus an inclusive “reflection in action” aimed at generating extra-performative learning and responding to instances of human meaning, development and realisation.

Authors: Sitoiu A. , Panisoara G.
Published: February 2025

The digitized society imposes dynamic in the education of young people from the perspective of free time, but also of the way in which one's own resources and responsibilities are managed. Resilience becomes a necessary skill for managing the stress associated with academic failure (Walsh, 2016b), but also for adapting to the conditions necessary to achieve academic success (Sony & Mekoth, 2022). The purpose of this theoretical analysis is to describe the role of resilience for academic success and failure. It was found that factors such as self-efficacy, self-esteem, parental support, mentoring, but also educational programs that contribute to development of management skills, act in opposition to risk factors (Zimmerman, 2013).

Teacher education would offer the appropriate perspective to perfectionism and attending standards.
Effects of Midwifery Psychoeducational Intervention on Reducing the Number of Cesarean Sections Due to Tokophobia
Authors: Kanellopoulos D. , Gourounti K.
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the current review was to underline the beneficiary effect that the appropriate midwifery psychoeducational intervention can have, on the reduction of the number of cesarean sections that are attributed to tokophobia (fear of childbirth). The research data available so far show that pregnant women who attend midwifery psychoeducation and maternal preparation classes (both prepartum and postpartum) tend to better recognize, understand and interpret their deep and personal feelings and beliefs regarding gestation, labor and motherhood, thus being able to experience less intense anxiety and fear for the upcoming labor, as well as to be ready to ask for the appropriate help or information whenever needed. Additionally, midwifery intervention proves to be valuable in terms of highlighting the stronger emotional bonding that vaginal delivery will naturally bring between mother and newborn -which serves as an extra factor that encourages women’s choice in favor of vaginal delivery. In that context, most psychoeducated women can documentedly and more confidently choose vaginal delivery over cesarean section, and have higher possibilities of enjoying an overall better quality of life -both prenatally and postnatally.
The Role of Academic Mentoring in Building Sustainable Universities
Authors: Voinea M. , Adamuti-Trache M.
Published: February 2025

International cooperation, digitalization, human diversity are social trends imposing new demands on universities to be more open to society and become catalysts of social transformation. EUA education policy documents have underlined the expectations that the European universities in 2030 should be “Open”, transformative and transnational; Sustainable, diverse and engaged; Strong, autonomous and accountable” institutions. To attain these goals, universities have to engage in a reform of academic careers. The premise of this paper is that developing a mentoring culture on university campuses would contribute to the growth of the academic community (from students to staff and faculty). In particular, we argue that a multi-faceted model of academic mentoring that includes forms like reverse mentoring and network mentoring, centered on the needs of university professors, should be viewed as a solution for reforming university careers and creating inclusive and sustainable universities.

ANALISIS DAMPAK IMPOR BERAS TERHADAP STABILITAS HARGA DAN KETAHANAN PANGAN DI INDONESIA (2019-2023)
Authors: Yasinta Heidinez , Setyaningrum Idfi , Yohanna Cynthia , Benbifo Muhammad
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini menganalisis dampak impor beras terhadap stabilitas harga dan ketahanan pangan di Indonesia selama periode 2019-2023. Pendekatan deskriptif dan model regresi digunakan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara tingkat impor beras dari lima negara utama (Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Pakistan, dan India), produksi beras nasional, serta harga beras lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa impor beras berkontribusi dalam menjaga stabilitas harga dan pasokan saat produksi domestik menurun. Namun, kebijakan ini meningkatkan ketergantungan pada pasar internasional, sehingga menciptakan tantangan bagi daya saing petani lokal. Penurunan produksi dalam negeri, yang disebabkan oleh fenomena El Niño dan alih fungsi lahan, menjadi faktor utama peningkatan impor. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan kebijakan yang holistik untuk meningkatkan produksi beras nasional, mengurangi ketergantungan pada impor, dan mendukung keberlanjutan ketahanan pangan di Indonesia.

Magyar kulturális szféra a pandémia árnyékában
Authors: Cseporán Zsolt
Published: February 2025

A tanulmány a kulturális és gazdaságpolitika összekapcsolódását mutatja be a magyar kormány pandémiás válságkezelésében. A koronavírus-világjárvány alatt a magyar kormányzat a nemzetközi, különösen uniós válságkezelési stratégiák eszköztárát alkalmazta a kulturális szféra tekintetében is. Ezek közül markáns beavatkozás volt a védelmi intézkedések széles spektruma, ám megállapítható, hogy a kulturális szektorban is érvényesült a munkahelyvédelem kormányzati prioritása, amelyet az adókedvezmények és a bértámogatási program hivatott garantálni, illetve ezeket az intézkedéseket a közvetlen támogatásokkal egészítette ki a Kormány.
A vadkár biztosítási fedezetbe vonhatósága és a vadkáralap
Authors: Pap Márk
Published: February 2025

A tanulmány a vadkár pénzügyi fedezete biztosításának lehetséges módozatait vizsgálja a hatályos jogi szabályozás fényében. Ennek során a vadkár fogalmának tisztázását követően elsőként arra keresi a választ, hogy jogi és biztosítási üzemgazdasági szempontból a vadkár bekövetkezésének kockázatára biztosítási szerződés alapján nyújtható-e fedezet. Ezt követően annak elemzésére tér rá, hogy mi a vadkáralap rendeltetése, majd a vadkáralappal kapcsolatos közjogi szabályozással összefüggő jogértelmezési kérdéseket tekinti át.

The subject of this study is the analysis of existing methods for launching unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in modern conditions that require high precision, safety, and flexibility. The article discusses three main approaches: manual launch, launch from a launcher, and the use of catapults. The aim of the research is to assess the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, as well as to develop design solutions to improve the UAV launch process. Special attention is given to launching using catapults, as the most universal method for UAVs of different classes. In the course of the study, an analysis of the structural features of catapults is conducted, including systems that use pneumatic principles to provide the launch impulse and their ability to operate in rugged terrain. The paper examines the technical characteristics of modern catapults, which include the use of standardized components, the ability to adjust the launch angle, ensuring remote control, and enhancing operator safety. A new design solution for a catapult is presented, which allows launching UAVs in difficult conditions with minimal operating and maintenance costs. In particular, it describes its transportability, adaptability for launching UAVs with different takeoff weights, and the use of standard national economic products to reduce costs. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of a pneumatic catapult scheme that ensures the stability and accuracy of the launch. By using remote control of the ball valve to supply compressed air to the guide tube, the design's simplicity and operational convenience are achieved. The results obtained indicate significant potential for improving existing UAV launch methods, which will contribute to enhancing their effectiveness in military, rescue, agricultural, and other sectors. Thus, the proposed catapult model combines economic affordability, ease of use, and safety, making it a promising solution for launching UAVs of various purposes and enhancing the overall effectiveness of their use in diverse conditions.

Relevansi Konsep Waris Fazlur Rahman Perspektif Maqāṣid Asy-Syarī`ah
Authors: Fareha Faathin
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini menyoroti penafsiran Fazlur Rahman tentang hukum waris yang disebut memiliki nilai-nilai keadilan dan keseimbangan sosial. Penelitian ini juga melihat relevansinya dengan kondisi masyarakat saat ini. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, artikel ini menganalisis interaksi antara prinsip-prinsip maqāṣid asy-syarī‘ah dan pemikiran Fazlur Rahman, serta implikasinya terhadap pembaruan hukum waris yang lebih adil dan inklusif. Maqāṣid asy-syarī‘ah digunakan di sini sebagai pisau analisis hukum waris dalam konteks modern. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa penafsiran Rahman dengan teori double movement yang meyakini pembagian waris 1:1 tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan nash. Konsep hukum waris tersebut kurang relevan dengan prinsip-prinsip dasar tujuan hukum Islam (maqāṣid asy-syarī‘ah) yang berusaha menghasilkan pemahaman yang lebih inklusif terhadap hukum waris.
