Climate change is often seen as the most global and complex problem the world has been facing during its current development. The emissions of harmful gases, rising temperatures, variable amounts of precipitation, the occurrence of extreme weather conditions affect all countries regardless of their geographical position and level of development. The subject and goal of this paper is to examine the impact of economic, technological and demographic determinants on CO2 emissions in 18 EU countries in the period from 2011 to 2020. In the research are used k-means clustering and panel regression analysis. By the application of k-means clustering, 18 EU countries were grouped into 2 clusters according to the level of emissions of selected greenhouse gases (CO2 , CH4 , HFC, PFC, SF6 ) per capita. In the "green cluster", there are the following countries: Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, and Netherlands. The "red cluster" includes the other analyzed EU countries. The results of the panel regression model in the "green cluster" showed that CO2 emissions are statistically significantly and positively influenced by Energy efficiency and Production of electricity by solid fossil fuels. On the other hand, the results of the analysis in the "red cluster" suggested that Research and developments costs turn out to be the most important predictor of CO2 emissions.

In partnership with the project "Possibilities and barriers for Industry 4.0 implementation in SMEs in V4 countries and Serbia" - funded by the Visegrad Fund, the authors conducted a survey with 124 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Central and Eastern Europe. Respondents (middle and top managers) from Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic were questioned about strategic factors affecting digitalization. We analyze theoretical factors based on literature review and if they are valid in the managerial context, not only for manufacturing, but also for the agri-food sector, where digital transformation (Agriculture 4.0) is considered to be in its infancy. Results indicate 21 variables that were aggregated to form five (5) strategic factors (Leadership, Management Strategy, Organizational culture, Business environment and Circular economy) with key importance for Industry 4.0 implementation in the organizations. The comparison based on Exploratory Factor Analysis between the manufacturing and agri-food sector results in statistical differences for all five factors. This study contributes to the management literature, and the identified factors can guide companies to develop a business model to be implemented in SMEs companies in their digital transition.

The study aims to measure entrepreneurship performance of Vietnam in comparison to Asian countries by applying the Global Entrepreneurship Development Index (GEDI) and then employed the Penalty for Bottleneck (PFB) methodology to allocate priority policies for the improvement of entrepreneurship performance in Vietnam. Specifically, the GEDI consisting of three sub-indices: Entrepreneurial Attitudes, Entrepreneurial Abilities and Entrepreneurial Aspiration, which are divided into 14 pillars and further subdivided into 28 variables, is used to identify the best and worst performing variables of the GEDI in Vietnam in comparison to Asian countries. Then the PFB methodology provides a more realistic analysis, aiming to discover bottle-neck factors, which are poorly performing system components before suggesting recommendations to achieve the greatest improvement of entrepreneurship performance in Vietnam. The results indicate that ten bottlenecks of 14 pillars are poorly performing with very low scores in Vietnam, in which the top priority policy is given for five pillars, including Risk acceptance, Opportunity perception, Internationalization, Technology absorption and Process innovation.

SMEs operating in the 21st century must face several challenges including a push towards digital transformation, reorganising business operations to maintain sustainability but on the other hand not to lose profit and keep the business running. This paper aims to reveal whether the profit and the high rate of digitalisation or the sustainability concerns are the main driving forces of SMEs in Hungary and Slovakia. The paper analyses 210 observed SMEs and uses the CHAID decision tree method parallel to factor and cluster analyses to explore the similarities and differences in Hungarian and Slovakian SME behaviours. The results show Slovakian SMEs have a more positive attitude to digitalisation; both Hungarian and Slovakian SMEs are split into two groups in terms of approach to digitalisation and sustainability while the significant differences vary provided the questions of cost and resource reduction, extension of product life cycle or higher productivity are concerned. SMES in both countries agree that business models need to be adjusted to digitalisation and sustainability while they are concerned about the negative impact of digitalisation although significantly differently.

A new model of automation of technological systems, based on the Internet, was defined as the concept of Industry 4.0, Germany in 2011. It represents an advanced model of connecting machines and computers (cyber-physical systems - CPS), their networking (cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT)) with the widespread use of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in this concept. This concept is a model of smart manufacturing (SM), and today we are talking about: smart vehicles, smart highways, smart grids, smart cities, smart services, etc ... - in short, intelligent "everything and anything" (smart everything). The most important directions for Serbia in the application of Industry 4.0 include: industrial policy for Industry 4.0, education for Industry 4.0 (higher / secondary education), research for Industry 4.0, and especially applied research and readiness of SMEs for Industry 4.0, as well as the application of this model in practice. This paper presents the development and application of the Industry 4.0 model in Serbia, through the activities of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, from 2015 until today, with special reference to the application of Industry 4.0 in mining.

The authors of the paper deal with the immigration policies in the European Union, i.e. in its member states as constituent parts of a complex community. The main aim is to determine what immigration policies are conducted by the EU member states depending on their public opinion, their social, demographic, and economic structure, as well as cultural, political-parliamentary and security policies. It is assumed that the immigration policies of the EU member states could be researched on an ideal-type scale, ranging from liberal to restrictive immigration policies. Based on all available quantifiers, we opted for MIPEX or the Migrant Integration Policy Index. Based on MIPEX, one can clearly see the tendency towards one of the borderline immigration policies on a scale ranging from liberal to restrictive immigration policies. The EU member states whose nationality is territorially bounded, (nation states, the civil-national principle) and which have long immigration tradition tend to opt for liberal immigration policies. Institutional measures such as allocating funds for welfare benefits and government efficiency point out to stable systems of welfare state where liberal immigration policy is dominant. In addition, communities which are economically strong and stable in terms of security, also show tendencies towards liberal immigration policy.

The current paper presents theoretical and experimental evidence to justify the need for paying attention to the investment horizon. Therefore, a criterion called the 'Safest Investment Horizon' (SIH) is utilized to select the appropriate investment horizon. To compute this quantity, a ratio called the 'Safest Investment Ratio' (SIR) is calculated, and the relationship between these criteria and arbitrage opportunities, along with methods for making an arbitrage profit through selecting an appropriate time horizon are discussed. Afterward, by applying this method for real-life data, the presence of arbitrage opportunities at different time horizons is confirmed. Furthermore, the effects of the time horizon on optimal portfolio composition are described. Finally, it is shown that these criteria outperform some of the conventional variables in CAPM, the 3-factor, and the 5-factor models for explaining stock returns and using SIH or SIR as a new variable increases the explanatory power of these models.

The level of productivity should be increased and maintained to sustain the success of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Furthermore, entrepreneurial resilience requires advanced technological innovation capabilities to avoid continual external disasters. Therefore, this research explores the connection between entrepreneurial resilience, disaster-resilient MSMEs, and new ideas on complex technical innovations to modulate entrepreneurship. Partial Least Squares are used to process 177 MSMEs respondents in Central Java, Indonesia and the findings successfully bridged the gap between entrepreneurial resilience and disaster-resistant MSMEs. The is mediated by sophisticated technology innovation capability. Furthermore, corporate owners and managers are concerned with the ongoing adaptation and creation of complicated technologies concerning sophisticated innovation capabilities. These findings indicate that entrepreneurial resilience contributes to sophisticated technological innovation capability. The findings also show that entrepreneurial resilience contributes to disaster-resilient MSMEs and demonstrate the importance of understanding how entrepreneurs survive during conditions of uncertainty. This theoretical conclusion gives rise to a new competitive resource advantage theory perspective in which sophisticated technology's inventive capacities might be strengthened when entrepreneurial resilience is stronger. The entrepreneurial resilience can improve when corporate organizations or MSMEs players have advanced technical resource capabilities.

Self-employment constitutes a significant share of the workforce in Serbia. Due to the equally high poverty as well as self-employment rates in Serbia, this paper aims to examine whether there is any prevalence between the two. Moreover, it also seeks to investigate what detriments exist within self-employment that keep or lead to poverty among self-employed people. The research is based on both longitudinal and cross-sectional SILC data. The main results indicated higher poverty exposure for solo entrepreneurs and those employed in family enterprises. Businesses run by men, low-skilled individuals, and young entrepreneurs are all at a much higher risk of poverty than other entrepreneurs or employees, especially those represented by women and highly educated individuals. The paper provides significant inputs for (1) managing differences within the active population at risk of income poverty and (2) monitoring outcomes of the self-employed, given that more than half of them are involved in the agricultural sector.

In last decade, many Cyber Physical Systems CPSs for occupational safety have been developed within research programs funded by national and transnational bodies. Many of them are now ready for the market. The paper focuses on the industrial sectors, where the safety of the worker and the safety of machines, equipment and processes are linked each other. The papers proposes to safety managers criteria and suggestions for choosing appropriate CPS for seizing the great opportunities for safety improvement. The paper discusses a few issues, including cybersecurity and privacy, which are critical for a successful implementation of the CPSs in occupational safety. Safety Management System SMS, in particular, must be adequate to collect the amount of data generated by many sensors distributed in work ambient and worn by workers.
