Purpose: Authors of the paper develop the main assumptions for project management in the Industry 4.0, and present them in the short form as basic knowledge, useful for managing smart manufacturing (SM) projects in companies. Design/methodology/approach: the process of preparing SM (smart manufacturing) projects and their implementation, in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, have been changed, due to the importance of the issue of linking more and more intelligent machines, IT-computer programs and monitored processes into integrated technological systems of key importance for the construction of cyber-physical production systems (CPS). The paper applies a conceptual analysis of possible areas of change in project management (PM) when enterprises build the smart manufacturing (SM). Findings/conclusions: companies building the smart environment must adapt their organization of project management to the new requirements and opportunities of Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) technologies. Research limitations: the narrow scope of knowledge about the ongoing changesin SM project management is due to the short period of experience (the Industry 4.0 concept has been implemented since 2011), therefore the authors have only presented the framework of changes in organization of project management. Practical implications: the authors' intention was to initiate a practical discussion about the changes in project management in the ongoing industrial revolution. Originality/value: Since 2011, when the government of the Federal Republic of Germany recognized the concept of "Industrie 4.0" as the key strategy of innovative development, Industry 4.0 has become an important discussed topic among practitioners and researchers. The fourth industrial revolution is expected to result in a leap in the efficiency of companies operating in the intelligent technological environment. Key technologies or pillars of Industry 4.0 are implemented in manufacturing enterprises to build the smart manufacturing processes. Enterprises develop new projects and make investments in order to create Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS).

The main aim of the paper is to study the impact of the level of digitization of business activities on the human resources orientation on sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach: During the research process, a survey was conducted among 140 SMEs in Poland at the beginning of 2020. The multiple regression model was built to find the link between the variables. Findings: Statistical analysis indicated that digitization did not have a clearly positive impact on employees’ orientation towards SCP. Among the analysed variables, negatively correlated relationships appeared, especially in the area of the digitization of contacts with the customers. Research limitations: As limitations, it can be pointed the managerial approach during survey research, limited research group, as well as the study period excluding pandemic time. Originality/value: The novelty of the research manifests itself in in the fact that the research problem was applied to the small and medium-sized enterprises, instead of to corporations.

Accurate and timely measures to preserve the native populations of the wild honey bees need a study on the influence of housing conditions and environmental factors on the quality, productivity and viability of bee colonies. The authors have developed a system for remote monitoring of microclimate parameters of wild bee colonies based on the latest LoRaWAN technology. For studying the monitoring system based on the selected data transmission technology, data collection and transmission devices are implemented in two variants – based on ready-made monoblock devices (Variant 1) and composite devices (Variant 2) based on the Atmega328P microcontroller and photovoltaic power supply system with digital temperature and humidity sensors. Field tests of an experimental remote monitoring system were carried out in actual working conditions without power supply and communication systems. The tests involved 15 monoblock ready-made RAK7204 devices (Variant 1) and nine composite devices (Variant 2) based on the Atmega328P microcontroller. After the tests, Variant 1 was excluded from further use in research due to mass failure. Variant 2 passed the tests and participated in further research. The parameters of the power supply system of measuring devices and gateways are analyzed. The results of year-round monitoring of microclimate parameters of bee colonies were obtained. The study results prove the efficiency of the monitoring system based on LoRaWAN technology with the Atmega328P microcontroller devices and its operation comfort. During the study, it was recorded that the outer air temperature dropped to -36 °C. During the same period, the internal temperature significantly exceeded the air temperature. Besides, the highest temperature in wild hives during the winter months reaches +15 °C and +35.5 °C in the summer months. The temperature difference recorded in winter between the air inside wild hives and outer air reaches Δ30 °С.

The Spanish Port System is immersed in the process of digital transformation towards the concept of Ports 4.0. This entails new regulatory and connectivity requirements, making it necessary to implement the new technologies offered by the market towards digitalization. The digitalization of the individual processes in a first step helps the exchange of digital information between the members of the port community. The next step will mean that the information flow between the participants of a port community is done in a reliable, efficient, paperless way, and thanks to technologies. However, for the Spanish port sector, data exchange has a competitive disadvantage. That is why Federated Learning is proposed. This approach allows several organizations in the port sector to collaborate in the development of models, but without the need to directly share sensitive port data among themselves. Instead of gathering data on a single server, the data remains locked on your server, and the algorithms and predictive models travel between them. The goal of this approach is to benefit from a large set of data, which contributes to increased Machine Learning performance while respecting data ownership and privacy. Through an Inter-institution or "Crosssilo FL" model, different institutions contribute to the training with their local datasets in which different companies collaborate in training a learning machine for the discovery of patterns in private datasets of high sensitivity and high content. This environment is characterized by a smaller number of participants than the mobile case, with typically better bandwidth and less intermittency.

Today, the digital revolution has also caught up with the administration. The digitalisation of the (public) administration has strong links to the security issues. Digitalisation could be interpreted as one of the tools for the good governance and it has several challenges, as well. The public administrations, as well, the Hungarian administrative law has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The administrative procedural law has been influenced by the epidemic transformation. However, the rules on e-administration have not been reformed significantly (due to the digitalisation reforms of the last years), but several regulations and mainly the practice of the Hungarian administration has been transformed during the last two years. The pandemic situation had several challenges and opportunities, by which the traditional way of administration has been altered during these two years.

Obecnie rewolucja cyfrowa ma miejsce także w dziedzinie administracji. Cyfryzacja administracji (publicznej) jest ściśle powiązana z kwestiami bezpieczeństwa. Digitalizacja może być postrzegana jako jedno z narzędzi do odpowiedniego zarządzania, z którym wiąże się także szereg wyzwań. Pandemia COVID-19 wywarła istotny wpływ na samorządy, w tym także węgierskie przepisy administracyjne. Zmiany związane z pandemią znalazły odzwierciedlenie w przepisach postępowania administracyjnego. Nie przeprowadzono jednak istotnych reform w zakresie przepisów dotyczących administracji elektronicznej (z uwagi na reformy w zakresie cyfryzacji na przestrzeni ostatnich lat). W ciągu ubiegłych dwóch lat miały natomiast miejsce zmiany w dziedzinie kilku regulacji, a przede wszystkim praktyk stosowanych w administracji węgierskiej. Pandemia przyniosła ze sobą szereg wyzwań i szans, które zmieniły tradycyjne oblicze administracji na przestrzeni tych dwóch lat.

In this article, the author will try to conditionally transform the energy capacities of NNEGC Energoatom by converting a liability into an asset using the example of bitcoin. With a surplus of nuclear power generation, one of the modern tools for using excess electricity is directing it to cryptocurrency mining. The author of the article will try to calculate the possibilities of Ukrainian NPPs in the cryptoindustry market by analyzing the competitiveness, market trends and the approximate profitability of this kind of activity. The essence of the article lies in the intervention of the state energy giant in completely new activities, partial monopolization of the market and interference in the activities of decentralized cryptocurrencies, as well as the very novelty of combining two different fields of activity and the global nature of the consequences. Mining can be used to convert the underdeveloped electricity or all of Energoatom’s capacities totally, but at the same time it can also affect the cryptoasset market in the field of decentralization, as the primary cost factor to affect the price of assets and allow for obtaining super-profits at a state enterprise. The author of the article tries to understand the profitability of such actions and, in general, to understand the globality of the idea. The results of the entry of the national energy giant into the cryptoasset market will change the global processes in the ecosystem of the cryptoindustry and change the situation both on the electricity market in the region and, in general, will affect the processes of globalization and unification of the financial sectors of the economy.

W artykule autor bada teoretyczne możliwości przekształcenia zobowiązań zdolności produkcyjnych NNEGC Energoatom w aktywa, na przykładzie bitcoina. Przy nadwyżce produkcji energii jądrowej jednym z nowoczesnych narzędzi wykorzystania nadwyżki energii elektrycznej jest użycie jej do wydobycia kryptowalut. Autor szacuje możliwości ukraińskich elektrowni jądrowych na rynku kryptowalut poprzez analizę konkurencyjności, trendów rynkowych oraz przybliżoną analizę opłacalności tego rodzaju działalności. Istota przedstawionej analizy polega na ingerencji państwowego giganta energetycznego w zupełnie nowe działania, częściowej monopolizacji rynku i wejście na rynek zdecentralizowanych kryptowalut. Nowością jest tu łączenie dwóch odmiennych dziedzin działalności, a także globalny charakter konsekwencji takich działań. Wydobycie kryptowalut może być wykorzystane do konwersji zbyt wysokich mocy produkcyjnych Energoatomu, ale jednocześnie może również wpłynąć na rynek kryptowalut poprzez jego decentralizację, ponieważ podstawowy czynnik kosztowy wpływa na cenę aktywów i pozwala na uzyskanie nadwyżki zysków w przedsiębiorstwie państwowym. Autor stara się zrozumieć opłacalność takich działań i jak ogólna jest taka idea. Skutki wejścia krajowego giganta energetycznego na rynek kryptowalut zmienią globalne procesy w ekosystemie branży kryptowalut i sytuację zarówno na rynku energii elektrycznej w regionie, jak i całościowo wpłyną na procesy globalizacji i unifikacji sektorów finansowych gospodarki.
