"GREEN ECONOMY" – A NEW ECONOMIC DIRECTION

Author(s): Natia Surmanidze / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2019

The current environmental condition where we live in is polluted by the harmful toxic fumes of the industrial factories or the means of transportation. The land, water and air polluted from the technical wastes creates great threat to our health and to the one of our future generation. Therefore, it becomes necessary to introduce and to project the business activities and technologies which will reduce the harmful impacts on the environment as much as possible and at the same time will give the capability to use the limited resources effectively. In practice, all the research shows that the samples of the production and consumption are not sustainable in the long run. In case, the entire population of the planet consumes the same resource per capita as the average citizen in the developed country nowadays, the total demand for resources will exceed 4 times the Earth's capabilities. Consequently, it is clear that radical changes to the index and structure of the resources in the long-term should be implemented, which the world's developed and developing economy will use. Otherwise, the repeated and heavier crisis will endanger the sustainability of the global economy, the well-being of the nations and increase the possibility of combating for the resources (including, the possibility of the armed conflict). Another consequence of the unsustainable use of the world resources is the growth of a number of environmental risks, ranging from the global risks such as the climate change, the ozone layer formation, the loss of biodiversity etc. The "green economy" is based on the principle of the equality - including the equality between the generations, which implies that the existing generation should not ignore the needs of the future generations. In other words, the use of the planet resource at such level that will lose the future generation the chance to satisfy the requirements, it is not only unethical but destructive for all humanity. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the researches are ongoing to make the long-term sustainable solutions, the success is achieved in the green economy - this is the way that some international organizations have been set as the main goal and the governments supported it.

"Sustainable development" as a label within business studies: What can be learned from a bibliometric analysis?

"Sustainable development" as a label within business studies: What can be learned from a bibliometric analysis?

Author(s): Marija Čutura,Ivan Novak,Dijana Ćavar / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2017

In a modern society, the issues of sustainable development have evolved on different levels, from the new global frameworks over governmental policies to the new business models. In the 1980s, the term sustainable development emerged from the relationship between preserving the planet and meeting human needs (IUCN, 1980). The general idea behind the concept of sustainable development is to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (United Nations General Assembly, 1987). As one of the main challenges in economics and business, the concept of sustainable development has also emerged in the wide area of business economics. The aim of this paper is to provide an extensive literature overview dealing with the concept of sustainable development within a field of business economics. For the purpose of the analysis a bibliometric approach with multiple correspondence analyses has been used on the Web of Science Core Collection database for the observed period of ten years. The results illustrate the importance of sustainable development as a topic, as well as wide range of approaches and variety of sub-topics linked to the concept of sustainable development in business and economics literature.

(Ne)vidljivi okoliši: problem klimatske (ne)pravde u klimatskoj fikciji

Author(s): Marijeta Bradić / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

This paper addresses the problem of representation of climate change in literature, through the prism of environmental and climate justice as movements emerging from certain limitations of climate sciences that are approaching climate change from a political and ethical perspective. The movements of environmental and climate justice are based on the assumption that world’s most politically and economically powerful nations function in a way that enables them to maintain their own high consumption levels while shifting the ecological burdens onto less developed countries. In other words, those who contribute the least to the pollution of the environment will be affected the most by the ecological crisis. In the context of climate change, injustice is manifested within marginalised groups, including women who are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of environmental pollution and ecological catastrophes. Although these movements are politically oriented, they can also be seen as cultural movements focused on the questions of ideology and representation, as shown in contemporary literature and literary criticism (Sze 2002). In this sense, the common place in contemporary theory is that literary texts could be useful for establishing communication between climate science and general public (Ghosh 2016; Mehnert 2016; Trexler 2015). Following this assumption, the text will analyze Helen Simpsons’ Diary of an Interesting Year as an example of how contemporary literary production can effectively present abstract and hardly visible climate issues and thus contribute to climate justice discussions.

20. Yüzyıl Başlarında Cidde’de Su Temininde Yaşanan Güçlükler ve Azmzâde Sâdık el-Müeyyed’in Teşebbüsleri

Author(s): Ömer Faruk Can / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 45/2022

The provision of potable water was one of the most pressing concerns of the Hijaz peninsula's cities. This issue, which has been significant since the Age of Ignorance, preserved its importance after the advent of Islam and evolved into public service over time. For ages, Muslim rulers were concerned about the lack of fresh water in Haramain, i.e., Mecca and Medina, and they invested there considerably. These investments have also benefited Jeddah, known as Mecca's gate. Even though the investments allowed the problem to be solved, the water scarcity was reiterated over time.

2006-2009 Doğal Gaz Krizleri Sürecinde Türkiye’nin ‘Güvenilir Güzergâh’ Tezinin Enerji Güvenliği Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi

Author(s): Şeref Çetinkaya,Ahmet Öztürk / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 63/2019

The fact that energy has been an important area of the international system in recent years is directly related to its ability to affect the stability of the national economies. It is a fact that the problems to be experienced in the economy carry a serious risk to both national security and social welfare. As a result of these characteristics, the energy issue has been one of the reasons of the tensions between the European Union and Russia since the beginning of 2000s. Especially the natural gas-based crises between Russia and Ukraine directly affected the European countries and brought the issue of energy security back to the agenda. These developments in the Black Sea are closely related to Turkey. In the process of Russia-Ukraine natural gas crises in 2006 and 2009, Turkey built energy diplomacy on the fact that Ukraine could not provide enough energy security and that it could be the best alternative to this situation. This study aims how Turkey played a role on these tensions between Russia and the EU.

21. YÜZYIL ENERJİ SAVAŞLARINDA TÜRK CUMHURİYETLERİ’NİN YERİ ve ÖNEMİ

Author(s): Çağrı Kürşat Yüce / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 17/2013

Energy consumption and the need to continue on a global scale, as in the past and in recent years. Oil and natural gas will continue to be the primary energy source until 2030 despite all the alternatives to meet this need. As a result of this situation, energy resources will continue to be one of the most important determinants of the twenty-first century. In addition, at least a half century, dominance of oil in the field of energy will continue to. Energy experts frequently reported that the “cheap oil” era has ended and price volatility in the oil market will continue to today.The Caucasus and Turkestan (Central Asia) regions including the Turkish Republics maintained its importance throughout history due to various reasons. Today, however, due to the rich energy resources, especially oil and natural gas, they took part in the world’s agenda. In this study, the important actors of the energy wars and reserve status of the energy resources of the Turkish Republics in the Caucasus and Turkestan regions were briefly described. In addition, as well as importance of energy resources for the region and the world’s nations, beginning in the late twentieth century and growing competition over energy resources of the Caspian Sea were discussed today.

4D Printing as an Innovative Technology for Creating Agile, Shape Morphing Products Meeting Individual User Needs

Author(s): Łukasz Wiechetek,Arkadiusz Gola / Language(s): English Issue: 12.1/2019

3D printing is a quite popular technology, frequently used to create unique threedimensional objects. It has many areas of application: architecture, marketing, art, fashion music, but also marketing and business. In marketing and business, it is mostly used for increasing effectiveness of market research, faster product development, decrease logistics costs, or meet changing, unique customer requirements. Recently we can observe fast development of 3D printing consumables – filaments. Today’s printers can use not only synthetic materials, wood-like materials, resin, rubber, metal, concrete or paper but also new generation of smart materials. As a result of 3D printing development there can be seen a big interest in next printing generation – four-dimensional printing (4D printing). This technique can use a similar hardware as 3D printing but uses special filaments (polymers/hydrogels) so that the printed object can be transformed. Their physical parameters can be changed by adding some energy to the system, and because of that this technology is also called active object printing or shape-morphing systems printing. The aim of the article is to present 4D printing technology, its possibilities of usage and future applications mainly in the area of commerce and logistics. The paper contains brief characteristics of 4D printing technology, description on interesting and promising 4D printing startup projects. At the end of article, the authors present the impact of 4D printing technology on markets and business processes performance.

A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GREEN PRODUCTIVITY CONCEPT

Author(s): Erdinç Koç,Ahmed Ihsan Şimşek / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2021

Aim: This study aims to determine the relationships between studies, important sub-topics and new trends in the field, in parallel with the increasing studies in thefield of green productivity in recent years. Method: Using the Web of Science database, 118 studies on green productivity published between 1980 and 2021 were analyzed with bibliometric analyzes through the R and Vosviewer program. Findings: The results obtained from the analyzes were shared under two separate headings: Descriptive Statistics and Network Analysis. As descriptive statistics, the most productive journals, authors, and countries were shared. With descriptive statistics, it was found out that the most productive journal is the Journal of Cleaner Production and the most productive institution is Xiamen University. The study found that China is the most productive country in the field of green productivity. As part of the network analysis, co-occurrence, co-citation, co-authorship, and country collaboration in the field of green productivity were tried to be revealed. Co-occurrence analysis shows that 21 nodes and six clusters are formed. The authors are divided into seven clusters in the co-authorship analysis, and Li Ke has the most links. The country with the most links in the country collaboration analysis is China. In the co-citation analysis, it is seen that the studies in the field of “green productivity” are divided into three clusters. Results: As a field of s tudy, green productivity attracts the attention of different science and social sciences disciplines, and the number of publications on this subject is constantly increasing. The interest of different disciplines in the subject field has enabled different keywords to take part in the studies. In addition to showing trends in the field, the study results also show productivity in the corresponding years’ range. With our study, researchers who want to work in the field of Green Productivity will be able to identify the guiding articles. Besides, they will be able to identify pioneering researchers, institutions and journals and see the collaborations made on t he basis o f c ountry, institution and author in t he field of green productivity. In this way, researchers will have the chance to look at the field of green productivity from a broader perspective. Researchers can use this study as a roadmap for their studies.

A Bibliometric Analysis on the Link between Circular Economy and Supply Chain

Author(s): Ovidiu-Iulian Bunea / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

Circular economy and supply chain are two topics that have aroused the interest of researchers in recent years, which we can find in a relationship of interdependence in the literature. The aim of this paper is to make a review using the technique of bibliometric analysis, on the interconnections in the literature between the concepts of circular economy and supply chain. In this sense, papers published on those subjects indexed in Web of Science (WoS) - 473 publications and Scopus - 633 publications were analysed, while identifying the most influential journals and authors in this area of study. The results highlighted an upward trend of publications on this topic, a top of the journals with the most published papers, a top of the most influential journals based on the number of citations received, the most influential papers depending on the number of citations received and a keywords co-occurrence mapping using VOSviewer software. Those results are useful in terms of identifying the most prolific journals regarding the volume of articles published, but also the most influential in terms of the volume of citations received, while drawing a clearer path for future research that may include in an integrated manner the circular economy and supply chain to identify ways to achieve superior economic performance in a sustainable manner.

A Brief Overview of Current Drug Repurposing Approaches for COVID-19 Management

A Brief Overview of Current Drug Repurposing Approaches for COVID-19 Management

Author(s): Pedro da Fonseca Soares Rodrigues,Douglas Vieira Thomaz / Language(s): English Issue: 04/2020

This brief overview is intended to shed light on the current drug repositioning (also called drug repurposing) in the therapeutics of the novel coronavirus disease which emerged in 2019 (COVID-19). In this sense, the repositioning drugs for new indications can offer a better risk-versus-reward trade-off when compared to other drug development strategies, given that it makes use of drugs whose safety profile are already understood. Nonetheless, this approach allows healthcare professionals to promptly tackle the disease by investigating readily available drugs against it.

A Case Study of Thermal Comfort in a Temporary Shelter

Author(s): Jurgis Zemitis,Anatolijs Borodinecs,Raimonds Bogdanovics,Aleksandrs Geikins / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2021

In Latvia to perform COVID-19 tests as well as for temporary shelters in case of a local disease outbreak the persons were located in special tents. Such practice was not only performed locally but also in other countries like the USA, UK, Russia, etc. The wide usage of tents was possible as the outbreak happened during the warm period of the year. At the same time, the indoor climate of tents can be quite unbearable during the warm summer days. Also, the situation was not getting better as fast as the prognosis, and the crisis was still ongoing during the winter period. Therefore, to test the thermal comfort of such temporary shelter’s measurements were performed. The thermal comfort was measured in a tent from 27th May to 28th September 2020. The data was logged with three different measuring devices inside of the shelter as well as outside air parameters like temperature and solar radiation was logged. The results show the rapidly changing indoor temperature which reaches 40°C during the daytime and falls to 10°C at night. The data of the globe thermometer to analyze the influence of radiation from tent canvas was also studied and showed that there is no noticeable heat radiation from external walls. The PMV measurements showed that the thermal comfort is very low as the PMV values were outside the range of -1 to 1 for 57% of the time. The influence of the precipitation was also noted, and the results showed that the adiabatic cooling effect is very variable but in general does not noticeably change the indoor temperature, the average temperature decrease was only 1 °C, but for a specific case it reached 10°C.

A CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

A CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Author(s): Daniel Francois Meyer,Kazeem Abimbola Sanusi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

In terms of macro-economic policy, gross fixed capital formation, which is the major component of domestic investment, is seen as an important process that could accelerate economic growth. This study re-examines the controversial issue of causality between domestic investment, employment and economic growth using South African data. The traditional assumption of causality running from investment to economic growth has remained inconclusive while empirical findings on the investment and employment growth nexus are also largely unsettled. The study makes use of quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2016Q4 within the framework of the Johansen cointegration and Vector Error Correction Models (VECM). The empirical findings suggest that a long run relationship exists between domestic investment, employment and economic growth, with causality running from economic growth to investment and not vice versa. The results also demonstrate that investment has a positive long-run impact on employment. The empirical evidence further suggests bi-directional causality between employment and economic growth, while evidence of uni-directional causality, from investment to employment, is also found. The major implication of the study is that although there is bi-directional causality between economic growth and employment, economic growth does not translate to increased employment in the long run confirming “jobless growth”. Investment is found to be a positive driver of employment in the South African economy in the long-run. The study concludes that, in order to stimulate employment, investment enhancing policies, such as low interest rates and a favourable economic environment should be put in place to accelerate growth. Measures to promote economic growth, such as improved infrastructural facilities and diversification of the economy, should be further engineered so as to encourage increased investment.
