The integration and utilization of renewable energy sources in the energy and transport sectors are the main actions undertaken to attain climate neutrality by 2050. The connection and indication of the relations occurring in these two sectors constitute the novelty of the current research. Key actions include increasing the share of low- and zero-emission transport, such as electric cars, bicycles, trains, and buses; reducing emissions from aviation and shipping; and improving energy efficiency and transport safety by modernizing the vehicle fleet, introducing intelligent transport systems, applying emission and fuel quality standards, and promoting technological and digital innovation. A novel and significant aspect of the research is its comprehensive approach to key economic sectors that exert a profound influence on climate change. Through the conducted studies, it has been demonstrated what essential actions must be undertaken to transition towards a low or zero-emission economy. This paper points to a strong nexus between the transport sector, the energy sector, and climate change, underscoring the imperative for collaborative efforts and strategic initiatives among these sectors to address the pressing challenges associated with achieving climate neutrality.

Introduction/background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in today’s business environment, but operation of AI devices may pose a risk to purchasers of products incorporating the AI or recipients of services using the AI. This risk must be taken into account by the entrepreneur in his or her business activity. For this to happen, the entrepreneur must know the legal regime under which he or she will be held liable in the event of damage caused by the AI he or she uses. Aim of the paper: The article is devoted to a critical analysis of the draft Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on liability for the operation of artificial intelligence systems contained in the resolution of the European Parliament of 20 October 2020 with recommendations to the Commission on the liability regime for artificial intelligence (2020/2014 (INL)). Materials and methods: The considerations in this article are based on the literature on the subject and on the European Parliament proposed a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on liability for the operation of artificial intelligence systems. These materials have been subjected to critical analysis. Results and conclusions: The conducted analysis leads the author to the conclusion that the proposed regulation introducing different liability regimes corresponds to the specificity of AI, and compulsory insurance for high-risk AI system operators is an important step towards securing the interests of the aggrieved party, however, limiting the operator's liability at the proposed level does not sufficiently guarantee protection of the interests of the victims. The author is also critical of the fact that the regulation links the compensation for personal injury to the economic consequences of the infringement of personal rights, does not regulate the issue of the causal link between the operation of AI systems and the damage and the difficulties of proof faced by victims of the operation of AI systems. Consequently, the author questions the advisability of regulating civil liability for the actions of artificial intelligence systems at EU level in the form of a regulation, when it would be sufficient to allow individual Member States to regulate this matter while harmonizing national regulations by means of a directive.
Świat jest w procesie transformacji i powrót do jego wersji sprzed wybuchu pandemii wydaje się już niemożliwy. Wraz ze zmianą rzeczywistości, która nas otacza, zmieniamy się również i my - ludzie. Jest to naturalny proces ewolucyjny, pozwalający nam dostosować się do „nowego”. Pamiętajcie proszę jednak, że „nowe” nie znaczy gorsze, tylko po prostu inne, a to, jak będzie wyglądał nasz świat w przyszłości, w dużej mierze zależy od nas samych.
Celem głównym artykułu pt. Wpływ pandemii na szkolenie przyszłych kierowców zawodowych w ośrodkach szkolenia kierowców było wykazanie, w jaki sposób pandemia wpłynęła na liczbę osób, które pragnęły odbyć tego rodzaju kurs w okresie jej trwania. Ponadto celem szczegółowym było zobrazowanie wpływu zaistniałej sytuacji na funkcjonowanie i organizację ośrodków szkolenia kierowców, które prowadziły tego rodzaju kursy. Na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych metodą ankietową w ośrodkach na terenie województwa mazowieckiego wykazano, że w okresie pandemii wzrosła liczba kandydatów na kierowcę zawodowego. Taki rezultat wiązał się bezpośrednio z zapotrzebowaniem (popytem) na rynku pracy, głównie na kierowców przewożących towary. To zaś wynikało z rosnącego popytu na zakupy dokonywane on-line. Na tej podstawie założona teza została zweryfikowana negatywnie.

This study aims to examine the relationship between environmental performance, government ownership, and corporate financial performance. This study consist of 151 companies that listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and followed the PROPER ranking held by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment from the period 2014-2017. This study uses evidence of state-owned enterprises that have not been much focused on research related to environmental and financial performance. In addition, this study also uses PROPER criteria for measuring environmental performance. This study found that environmental performance has a positive impact on financial performance in terms of three measurements, namely ROE, ROA, and TOBINS Q. Interestingly, this study found that companies with government ownership are negatively related to financial performance. This indicates that government ownership company is an extension of the government that does not focus primarily on financial performance but on sustainable environmental balance, so that whatever costs incurred are not a problem for the government as the majority shareholder as long as the expected goals are achieved. The results of this study provide implications for management of the companies about how environmental issues become important points that need to be considered to improve company performance. For the government, the results of this study can also be an input in making environmental management policies.

Niniejsze badanie ma na celu zbadanie związku między efektywnością środowiskową, zgodną wytycznymi rządu i wynikami finansowymi przedsiębiorstw. Badanie to obejmuje 151 spółek notowanych na indonezyjskiej giełdzie papierów wartościowych i przestrzegających rankingu WŁAŚCIWEGO indonezyjskiego Ministerstwa Środowiska z okresu 2014–2017. W niniejszym badaniu wykorzystano dowody dotyczące przedsiębiorstw państwowych, które nie koncentrowały się zbytnio na badaniach związanych z wynikami środowiskowymi i finansowymi. Ponadto w tym badaniu zastosowano również PRAWIDŁOWE kryteria pomiaru efektywności środowiskowej. Badanie to wykazało, że efektywność środowiskowa ma pozytywny wpływ na wyniki finansowe pod względem trzech pomiarów, mianowicie ROE, ROA i TOBINS Q. Co ciekawe, badanie to wykazało, że firmy posiadające własność rządową są negatywnie powiązane z wynikami finansowymi. Wskazuje to, że spółka będąca własnością państwa jest przedłużeniem rządu, który nie koncentruje się przede wszystkim na wynikach finansowych, ale na zrównoważonej równowadze środowiskowej, tak więc wszelkie poniesione koszty nie stanowią problemu dla rządu jako większościowego akcjonariusza, o ile osiągane są oczekiwane cele . Wyniki tego badania dostarczają implikacje dla kierownictwa firm dotyczące tego, w jaki sposób kwestie środowiskowe stają się ważnymi punktami, które należy wziąć pod uwagę w celu poprawy wyników firmy. Dla rządu wyniki tego badania mogą również stanowić wkład w tworzenie polityk zarządzania środowiskiem.
