However, the analysis accuracy is low when the quality of educational data is incomplete. Moreover, the current approaches on dropout prediction cannot utilize available sources.
Purpose of the article: This article aims to develop a prediction model for students’ dropout prediction using machine learning techniques.
Methods: The study used machine learning methods to identify early dropouts of students during their study. The performance of different machine learning methods was evaluated using accuracy, precision, support, and f-score methods. The algorithm that best suits the datasets for these performance measurements was used to create the best prediction model.
Findings & value added: This study contributes to tackling the current global challenges of student dropouts from their study. The developed prediction model allows higher education institutions to target students who are likely to dropout and intervene timely to improve retention rates and quality of education. It can also help the institutions to plan resources in advance for the coming academic semester and allocate it appropriately. Generally, the learning analytics prediction model would allow higher education institutions to target students who are likely to dropout and intervene timely to improve retention rates and quality of education.
How does renewable energy consumption affect economic growth? Evidence from the European Union countries
Authors: Davidson Natalia , Maksimova Elizaveta , Mariev Oleg 
Published: December 2021

Research background:Fossil fuels are used at such a high rate that they are currently being depleted. Moreover, they are associated with a greenhouse effect leading to global warming. Meanwhile, green energy is naturally replenished and fosters sustainable development (Nelson and Starcher, 2015). However, the empirical evidence of the impact of green energy on economic growth is controversial (Adewuyi and Awodumi, 2017; Chen et al., 2020; Destek and Aslan, 2017; Zafar et al., 2018).Purpose of the article:This paper analyses the impact of renewable energy consumption on economic growth in the European Union (EU) countries. This is important in line with the goals of EU to shift towards green energy during the coming years (Directive (EU) 2018/2001).Methods:We use data ofthe World BankandOur World in Dataover 1990 to 2015 for 28 EU countries. We estimate the impact of renewable energy consumption on the countries’ gross domestic product. The control variables are labor force, research and development, and foreign direct investment. We apply the pooled mean group, mean group, the dynamic fixed effect estimators (Pesaran, 1997; Pesaran et al., 1999), and generalized method of moments (Arellano & Bond, 1991).Findings & Value added:Results show that the renewable energy consumption positively affects economic growth of the EU countries. We contribute by shedding light on the possibility to develop renewable energy, while achieving economic growth. The results have important implications for economic policy.
How does the pandemic has affected the economic sustainability of Textile industry in France?
Authors: Santos Eleonora 
Published: December 2021

Research background: France is one of the leading textile manufacturers in Europe. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the current practices in the industry. The lack of crisis management characterized by delayed payments, order cancellations, fixed costs, and other unpredictable expenses, turned it difficult for firms to guarantee liquidity and to preserve their economic sustainability.
Purpose of the article: To analyse how the pandemic has affected the economic sustainability of Textile industry in France.
Methods: Using the financial reports of 57 French firms operating in Textile industry, in 2018-2020, from ORBIS, a financial analysis is performed using the ratios of profitability, liquidity and indebtedness, as well as the profit margin and labour productivity to evaluate how these firms have been tackling the challenges of the recent crisis; and, thus, evaluate their economic sustainability.
Findings & Value added: Results suggest that micro firms and SMEs have better financial profitability, display higher levels of liquidity, are less indebted and are more capable to increase their profit margins. Yet, the larger firm shows a higher level of labour productivity, followed by the micro enterprises. Thus, smaller French textile firms appear to be more economically sustainable during the pandemic. This might suggest that smaller firms are more flexible, resilient, and capable to quickly adapt their operations to market’s needs. Such findings provide policy insights on the implementation of the appropriate strategies during times of crisis.

Authors: Urazgaliev Vladimir Sh. , Andrey V. Novikov , Galina A. Menshikova 
Published: December 2021

Research background: In the process of implementing the Paris Agreement (2015), Europe is a leader in the formation of new legislative initiatives in order to develop a set of effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. The European Commission approved the European Green Deal (2015) - a strategy for achieving the EU parameters of climate neutrality through the transition to a clean circular economy. Its main goal is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 by 50 - 55% from 1990 levels and achieve full carbon neutrality of the EU by 2050. As part of this strategy, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is being developed. The introduction of CBAM means a revolutionary transformation in the system of international economic relations.
Purpose of the article is to identify and assess possible risks for producers and consumers, primarily of energy products after the introduction of CBAM, as well as the impact of these risks on Russian exports to Europe.
Methods: The authors carried out a comparative analysis of scenarios for the implementation of CBAM in the sectorial and product segments of trade between Russia and the EU.
Findings: The article contains comparative assessments of the beginning redistribution of international markets in the sectoral and product coverage of emissions, as well as an analysis of the unfolding contradictions in the verification of methods for determining the carbon footprint in the production chains of the real sector of the economy.
Combating global challenges – climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty simultaneously: Unachievable goal or the only way forward?
Authors: Vasiliev Denis 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Globally climate action is gaining momentum. Most significant players on global political arena including the US, the EU and China are actively engaging in addressing the problem of climate change. Sustainable development agenda implies the need to simultaneously reduce harmful impacts of anthropogenic activity on natural ecosystems, reduce poverty and combat global heating. However, when pursuing these three targets often complicated trade-offs emerge. These trade-offs are especially pronounced when competing land-uses are considered. Recent global assessments suggest that the world is failing to slow down biodiversity loss, poverty is going to soar in the nearest future, and global heating is likely to reach temperature limit. All these problems need to be addressed in nearest few decades. The task may seem overwhelming, especially without a clear roadmap.
Purpose of the article: The aim of this study is to critically evaluate approaches to climate mitigation, detect trade-offs and synergies with biodiversity conservation and poverty alleviation goals and find the optimal strategies capable to resolve all these problems together.
Methods: Conceptual research approach - theory adaptation was used.
Findings & Value added: Findings of present study suggest that in order to achieve sustainable development only climate actions that benefit biodiversity conservation should be implemented. In case biodiversity is supported by global initiatives it is likely that poverty will be reduced due to sustained provision of ecosystem services, underpinning human wellbeing. Policy recommendations are provided that could help tailoring climate actions to support biodiversity conservation and reduce poverty.
Globalization – the source of new crises
Authors: Hes Aleš 
Published: December 2021

Research background: Globalization not only benefits national and corporate companies, but also brings together a new threat in the form of new, as yet unexplored crises. A company that is economically connected with suppliers of foreign companies may find itself in a very unpleasant situation due to a global pandemic and may not meet its marketing goals. The article analyzes the given fact and looks for real starting points through greater involvement of modern communication technologies. Modern communication technologies can help with the growing negative impacts of global trade on national economies and society. It is possible to prevent conflict situations through communication activities and find compromise solutions to possible crises (COVID ´19).
Purpose of the article: Based on analytical reasoning, the article attempts to find real ways to minimize the negative impacts of global trade on the needs and interests of national economies using modern digital communication technologies.
Methods: The main methods used are structured analysis of real facts concerning the effects of globalization on national economic interests, cognitive description of facts, as well as methods of synthesis, logical and deductive procedures to examine communication paths leading to minimizing the effects of globalization on modern society.
Findings & Value added: The article will present the causes of the selected crisis situation and provide general recommendations for mitigating the negative impacts of global trade on society and national economic interests.

Authors: Yarmolchyk Maria 
Published: December 2021

Research background: World processes of society development are closely connected with many aspects and spheres. World peace, a life without war, is a global goal that is an international goal. An important role in this issue is played by servicemen who defend their country, while sacrificing their own health and lives. Research on the psychology of servicemen is necessary in general in all countries, because psychological disorders occur in absolutely everyone.
Coping is a strategy of behavior in complex stressful situations, which is chosen by servicemen to deal with stress. This is a kind of response of the psyche, which is an adaptive mechanism at the time of negative impact. The choice of coping strategies is determined by a number of personality traits that determine the dominant pattern of behavior of a particular serviceman during decompression.
Purpose of the article: is to study the personality traits of servicemen, which determine the choice of coping strategies during decompression activities.
Methods: research methods are theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization), empirical (surveys, observations, testing, interviews), methods of mathematical statistics (to establish the type of data distribution -Kolmogorov-Smirnov criteria, to establish connections - Pearson's criterion, Student's criterion, multiple regression analysis - Fischer's criterion).
Findings & Value added: The personal determinants of the choice of coping strategies by servicemen during decompression are established. The obtained results of empirical research form the basis for the psychological technology of development of personal determinants of the choice of effective coping strategies of servicemen at the stage of decompression.
