Global climate change and greenhouse effect

Abstract: The climate has changed significantly under the influence of human behavior. And first of all, this is due to the change in the proportionality and concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, PFC (perfluorocarbons). This paper analyzes the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change has many consequences on human health throughout the world, especially in African countries. The growth of greenhouse gas emissions is viewed as a cause of infectious and non-infectious diseases, negative effects on nutrition, water security and other social disruptions. The global average temperature gradually increases, and the atmospheric CO2 concentration has exceeded 400 ppm due to the intensification of greenhouse effect. The method of energy balance was featured to simulate the trends in Greenhouse Gas Emission Forecast in different sectors until 2030. Through sensitivity analysis, we found that the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions from people (cars and households) would deescalate the consequences of the above trends. Emissions are mostly associated with industries, which can be reduced if local Government will want to achieve the Paris Agreement goal.

A model for estimating social and economic indicators of sustainable development

Abstract: There was developed a methodological approach for carrying out an integrated estimation of the sustainable development socioeconomic parameters based on the UN's current information base. The article proposes a methodology and tools for economic and mathematical modelling to estimate the degree of international trade and investment relations development, the degree of life expectancy, the standard of living and prosperity of international entities under the influence of sources of economic growth. Based on the simulation results an analysis of the general status of the 189 world countries according to the sources of economic growth has been carried out. In order to obtain scientifically grounded results, the paper used general scientific and special methods of research, such as: methods of analysis and synthesis, system approach and abstraction, modelling (fuzzy logic model, a method of Saati hierarchies, Mamdani algorithm), quantitative and qualitative comparison methods, a method of theoretical generalization. The approach proposed in this article can be applied when developing the country's national economic development strategy in the direction of achieving sustainable development.

On sustainable production networks for Industry 4.0

Abstract: Re-industrialization enjoys a renaissance in Western economies due to the role of the industrial sector for innovation, productivity, and job creation. A very promising approach to bring back competitiveness in production seems to be the fusion of the virtual and the real world leading to smart manufacturing and logistics concepts. In Germany, the leading industrial country in the European Union this approach has been called " Industry 4.0 " aiming to develop cyber-physical systems (CPS) and dynamic production networks in order to achieve flexible and open value chains in manufacturing of complex mass customization products in small series. Currently, manufacturing companies gaining experiences in production in networks and smart logistics and develop new organisational structures and business models which better benefit from the new technologies and which adapt faster to the rapidly changing network environments. The modern manufacturing models embrace modular and fractal approaches as well as network-orientation, flexibility and responsiveness. The paper investigates the relationship between networking, organizational development, structural frame conditions and sustainability in the context of Industry 4.0. The research is empirically validated by using data samples from a business reengineering project in an internationally operating high-tech manufacturing enterprise located in Estonia. The empiric analysis is based on semi-structured expert interviews and secondary data together with a case study approach.

Impact of selected factors on stock price: a case study of Vietcombank in Vietnam

Abstract: Fluctuation of stock price in commercial banks in developing countries such as Vietnam will reflect the business health of bank system and the whole economy. Good business management requires us to consider the impacts of multi macro factors on stock price, and it contributes to promoting business plan, financial risk management and economic policies for economic growth and stabilizing macroeconomic factors. The article analyzed and evaluated the impacts of seven (7) macroeconomic factors on stock price of a joint stock commercial bank Vietcombank (VCB) in Vietnam in the period of 2014-2019, both positive and negative sides. The results of quantitative research, in a seven factor model, show that the increase in GDP growth and lending rate and risk free rate has a significant effect on increasing VCB stock price with the highest impact coefficient, the second is decreasing the exchange rate, finally is a slight decrease in S&P500. This research finding and recommended policy also can be used as reference in policy for commercial bank system in many developing countries.

Sustainable development of organizations based on the combinatorial model of artificial intelligence

Abstract: The article specifies the organizational capabilities of application of artificial intelligence technologies in the model of sustainable development of the organization. Also, the article provided the theoretical and methodological background of the organizational changes and development, as well as determined the possibilities of application of artificial intelligence technologies in the functionality of the organization. It was proposed to use the methodological approach to application of neural networks in maintaining of the intelligent management of organizational development. There was developed the combinatorial model of artificial intelligence for decision making about the organizational development.
