. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi-carrier modulation technology that uses many subcarriers inside a single channel to broaden the notion of single subcarrier modulation. Because of its high-power transmission, the above approach produces out-of-band radiation. Therefore, a novel model named MIMO based enhanced OFDM communication system is introduced. In which random data bits are generated by a random data source, which is mapped using QPSK. Furthermore, to alleviate the carrier interference in MIMO-OFDM a novel Multi carrier interference mitigation method is presented. In which the Fourier, ICI estimation is done to separate the signal to time and frequency variant. Therefore, a novel Deep Frequency Time Offset estimation approach is created with two successive layers, and a Deep Neural Network (DNN) is used to estimate the residual carrier frequency offset and symbol timing offset. This reduces the time and frequency offset inaccuracy. Additionally, to alleviate out-of-band problems, a novel Low Complex Equalised demodulating approach is introduced. In which an extension windowing procedure is performed after adding CP, significantly reducing side lobe power and simplifying the process. Thus, the proposed OFDM carriers all the signal and transmits and receives with low out-of-band, carrier frequency offset in an efficient and equalised manner without any error and losses.

. The growth of e-commerce has significantly contributed to the increase in demand for express and parcel services. The aim of this paper is to create a price elasticity methodology and forecasting demand for express and parcel services. In that sense, to describe the dynamics of demand for parcel and express services, the Lotka-Volterra method and the Holt-Winters method were used. Then, users’ preferences in the express and parcel services were investigated through a survey. Based on the results obtained, a simulation model for the price elasticity of the demand for these services was developed. The developed model of the price elasticity of demand enabled us to notice the potential to increase the revenue of the Public Postal Operator.

In this study, we aimed to assess the degree of business cycle synchronisation in five CEE countries that have not adopted the euro (Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic), from the perspective of investigating similar developments with the three most important countries of the monetary union (Germany, France and Italy), respectively, with the peripheral countries most affected by the sovereign debt crisis (Greece, Portugal and Spain). The results confirm that membership of the monetary union does not automatically reduce the potential for asymmetric shocks, as in the case of peripheral countries, and that CEE countries do not have a similar path of improving business cycle synchronisation, with Romania and Bulgaria being closer to the Greek experience.

. The paper aims to shape the companies' production stocks using fuzzy neutrosophic numbers. The stock modeling using neutrosophic and triangular fuzzy numbers improves the company's financial performance, new indicators being proposed, such as: the optimal quantity of stocks, the cost minimization function, the cost of placing order, and the cost of storing a purchased unit of product. The significant advantage of shaping stocks management using fuzzy neutrosophic numbers is that it allows companies to determine the optimal quantities of stocks to be supplied using nonlinear mathematical programming algorithms. The innovative models for determining the optimal quantity of stocks are structured in two categories, namely: optimal stock supply models with fuzzy neutrosophic variables, with a single product, a constant demand, with out-of-stock, as well as models of optimal supply of stocks, with fuzzy neutrosophic variables, with several products, a constant demand and with out-of-stock. Both models use algorithms specific to nonlinear mathematical programming and provide a complete picture of the companies' stocks acquisition strategies needed for its operational activity. Finally, the results obtained from the modeling/simulation validate the operationalisation of the stock models presented and the modern foundation of companies' decisions on stock performance indicators.

. The evaluation of organisational performance and internal power is of the most significance for any organisation. The purpose of this paper is to present a hybrid approach using Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA), BSC, and Game Theory to evaluate the performance of decision-making units. To evaluate the efficiency of each decision-making unit, the relationship between different departments within an organisation is modeled based on the BSC indicators (growth and learning perspective, internal processes perspective, customer perspective, and financial perspective). Also, the influence of each of the BSC indicators on the efficiency of the decision-making units is examined using Game Theory and Stackelberg Theory. Moreover, the indicators related to each aspect of the BSC are expressed as input/output to determine performance. The proposed model has been implemented in 15 different cement factories based on the information obtained in 2021. The results reveal that the customer perspective has the greatest impact on the performance of the entire organisation and plays a crucial leading role in the organisation. Among the followers, the perspective of internal processes that is influenced by the leader strategy (customer perspective) is ranked first, and the perspectives of growth, learning, and finance are ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively. This research facilitates managerial decision-making for the optimal allocation of resources to increase the performance and profitability of the organisation.

. The objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between economic growth, CO 2 emissions, trade openness index, as well as the renewable energy consumption in Eastern European countries. The panel ARDL approach is used to reveal the long-and short-run impact of the selected variables on GDP per capita. Stationarity tests reveal that variables are I(0) and I(1), panel cointegration test confirm the long-run equilibrium between the variables, which enables us the use of panel ARDL methodology. The model reveals that in the long run there is a significant relationship between the dependent variable and all the exogenous ones for the selected countries. The Dumitrescu Hurlin causality test confirms the feedback causality between economic growth and trade openness, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth and unilateral causality running from CO 2 emissions to economic growth.

. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of supervised machine learning algorithms in predicting the profitability of Romanian companies applying International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), both by regression and classification methods. The algorithms used in this research are linear regression (LinR), logistic regression (LogR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP). The results showed that both methods can produce models with high accuracy in profitability prediction. Thus, for regression, the best estimates were generated by the MLP model, and for classification, by the RF model. These results can be used to obtain sustainable models for predicting economic and financial performance, with a major impact on the management decisions of companies.
