Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to stimulate discussion on the following thesis presented in the article. Anticipating the process of just transition without taking into account demographic changes will incompletely reveal the social and economic effects caused by it. Design/methodology/approach: the research used the method of descriptive and comparative statistics, as well as literature review, critical analysis of literature, document research and comparative analysis. Findings: on the basis of the analyses and research carried out in this article, it can be concluded that in the examined areas of mining municipalities – in the part relating to the stream of labour supply – a dynamic process of ageing of labour resources is clearly noticeable. On the basis of the above conclusion, it seems that the need to subordinate the policies implemented in the city to the indicated process is justified. Originality/value: the entirety of the outlined changes, processes and forecasts indicates that in order to reduce the stratification in the examined areas, which is the main source of structural mismatches, it is necessary to undertake actions aimed at building future-oriented municipal policies – especially with regard to old age. Failure to take such measures in the perspective of social and economic transformation may delay preparation for the seemingly inevitable changes in the age structure of the population living in the studied areas of mining municipalities.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020 and China has since been under public scrutiny for neglecting the first signs of this global health challenge and for its lockdown strategy. Although lockdowns have not lasted for long, China needs to confront the political, social, and economic implications for its national security. The paper aims to fill a gap in the knowledge and investigate aspects of China’s national security in light of the pandemic. The study is based on desk research using secondary data and statistical and comparative analysis. It also employs an inductive method to build general theorems. The Chinese government can be seen as successful in dealing with the pandemic because of a low death toll and minimal economic losses. By early February 2022, only 106,863 Chinese had been diagnosed, and 4,636 had died from the virus. China also achieved enviable economic success and, its output grew by 18.3% year on year in the first quarter of 2021, the fastest rate since the 1990s, and it was the first major economy to withdraw its pandemic stimulus. China consolidated its position in low-income countries and improved its image as a global leader in trade by supplying vaccines, masks and ventilators, and strengthened its geopolitical standing. It will face threats from other countries working on a joint approach to the challenges posed by Beijing and while the aftereffects of the crisis can be seen, it also fears that they might further affect China's national security.

The main wealth of the country, its main strategic resource that can ensure political, economic, environmental, and spiritual growth, is human capital. Its intellectual, entrepreneurial, and productive potential, the ability to create and accumulate knowledge, implement it in the production of goods and services, develop unique technologies, invent new types of energy, materials, information, etc., is the engine of scientific and technological progress and innovative restructuring of the economy. Investment in human capital, in intelligence, in the health of the nation, in education and science, and in creating conditions for the normal functioning of everyone is a prerequisite not only for improving the quality of life of the people, but also for achieving the Millennium Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, advancing the country’s development, and its social and political stability. The research is aimed at developing theoretical, methodological, and practical provisions for the formation of strategic priorities for sustainable development of territories based on the reproduction of human capital. The theoretical basis was the available scientific works, certain provisions of normative legal acts, international framework documents, in particular from United Nations: Agenda 21 and the report Our Common Future, as well as local studies. The generalization of various scientific points of view regarding the category of human capital allowed us to establish that it is an integral part of its carrier, and therefore, it is proposed to understand as such a set of personal qualities of a person formed, developed, accumulated and preserved as a result of investments in productive abilities, personal qualities and motivational behavior of an individual, as well as the ability to develop and accumulate the necessary qualities that are in his property, which he uses in economic activities and which provides him with a corresponding income. The article substantiates the value of the category human capital for sustainable development. The territorial features of the reproduction of human capital are determined, based on which it is proposed to consider the region as space. It is proved that the reproduction of human capital occurs in the relationship and interdependence with the general periods of the life cycle of the generation, which served to distinguish the four phases of the reproduction of human capital. The architectonics of determining the strategic priorities of sustainable development of territories based on the reproduction of human capital, which is aimed at solving theoretical, methodological, and applied problems, is proposed.

Głównym bogactwem kraju, jego głównym zasobem strategicznym, który może zapewnić rozwój polityczny, gospodarczy, środowiskowy i duchowy, jest kapitał ludzki. Jego potencjał intelektualny, przedsiębiorczy i produkcyjny, zdolność do tworzenia i gromadzenia wiedzy, wdrażania jej w produkcji towarów i usług, rozwijania unikalnych technologii, wynajdywania nowych rodzajów energii, materiałów, informacji itp. jest motorem postępu naukowo-technicznego i innowacyjności restrukturyzacji gospodarki. Inwestowanie w kapitał ludzki, w inteligencję, w zdrowie narodu, w edukację i naukę oraz w tworzenie warunków do normalnego funkcjonowania wszystkich jest warunkiem nie tylko poprawy jakości życia ludzi, ale także osiągnięcia Celów Milenijnych i Celów zrównoważonego rozwoju, w celu rozwoju kraju oraz wzrostu jego stabilności społecznej i politycznej. Badania mają na celu wypracowanie teoretycznych, metodologicznych i praktycznych zapisów dla kształtowania strategicznych priorytetów zrównoważonego rozwoju terytoriów w oparciu o wzrost kapitału ludzkiego. Podstawą teoretyczną były dostępne opracowania naukowe, niektóre zapisy normatywnych aktów prawnych, międzynarodowe dokumenty ramowe, w szczególności ONZ: Agenda 21 i raport Nasza Wspólna Przyszłość, a także opracowania lokalne. Uogólnienie różnych naukowych punktów widzenia w odniesieniu do kategorii kapitału ludzkiego pozwoliło ustalić, że jest on integralną częścią jego nosiciela, a zatem proponuje się rozumieć jako taki zespół cech osobowych ukształtowanej osoby, rozwijane, gromadzone i utrwalane w wyniku inwestycji w zdolności produkcyjne, cechy osobiste i zachowania motywacyjne jednostki, a także zdolność do rozwijania i gromadzenia niezbędnych cech znajdujących się w jej własności, którą wykorzystuje w działalności gospodarczej oraz co zapewnia mu odpowiedni dochód. Artykuł uzasadnia wartość kategorii kapitału ludzkiego dla zrównoważonego rozwoju. Określane są terytorialne cechy reprodukcji kapitału ludzkiego, na podstawie których proponuje się traktować region jako przestrzeń. Udowodniono, że reprodukcja kapitału ludzkiego zachodzi w relacji i współzależności z ogólnymi okresami cyklu życia pokolenia, co posłużyło do wyodrębnienia czterech faz reprodukcji kapitału ludzkiego. Zaproponowano architektonikę wyznaczania strategicznych priorytetów zrównoważonego rozwoju terytoriów w oparciu o reprodukcję kapitału ludzkiego, która ma na celu rozwiązywanie problemów teoretycznych, metodologicznych i aplikacyjnych.

COVID-19 pandemic took the world by storm in late 2019, scientists and health authorities across the globe struggle to contain the deadly virus. Socio-economic activities across the globe were partly halted as countries around the world introduce various forms of restrictions to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Most developing countries’ economies, especially in Africa, slid into recession, unemployment among Africa countries skyrocketed to an all-time high, and famine and starvation were beginning to knock harder on poorer nations around the world. The race to develop a vaccine was pressing harder; developed countries continue to pump more money to help develop a vaccine within the shortest period of time, as that seems the only viable solution to the economic downturn of the global world. Finally, vaccines were developed and proved to have high efficacy. This has helped reverse the negative trend of the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This vaccine faced a lot of global scrutinies; people have refused to get vaccinated and have also rejected the idea of making COVID-19 vaccination compulsory for citizens worldwide. This study analyzes the challenges posed by this ugly trend of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in African countries, its socio-economic consequences and the way forward.

In the Baltic Sea, where osmotic stress limits the growth of marine organisms, mariculture is driven primarily by the need to improve the status of the environment. To this end, several mussel farms have been attempted in selected areas, except the southern Baltic. The pilot culture of Mytilus trossulus was carried out with the use of a modified long-line system in the Gulf of Gdańsk in 2009–2012, providing the first evaluation of the mussel farming potential in this area. The growth rate of mussels (3.0–6.7 mm year-1) in the gulf was in the low range, but the mean wet biomass gain (1.50 kg m-1 normalized culture rope) was among the highest in the Baltic. After a two-year growth period, one tonne of mussels fixed in their soft tissues from 93 to 98 kg N t-1 and 11 kg P t-1. The cost-benefit analysis revealed a negative budget balance of production for human consumption, with a total income covering only 12.0% of the cumulative costs. Mussel farming in the gulf can therefore only be justified to improve the environmental quality if additional funding mechanisms are put in place to support farming activity.

Adam Smith was the first person to identify specialization and the division of labour as the main drivers of productivity. He also conceptualized the “invisible hand principle” which explains how, under the proper set of incentives, self-interested individuals are directed to pursue activities that benefit the whole of society. Both ideas are of utmost importance in the field of management. Specifically, successful managers are those who are able to create good “rules of the game” which align the incentives of labour with the goals of the firm. Smith’s contributions provide a foundation for the division of labour and demonstrate the importance of establishing the right “institutions” within a firm, calling it a fair reward system. The paper arrives at practical implications for managers from the paper of an eighteenth-century economist. The major goal of the paper is to reflect over the decision-making process which requires vast time consumption.

PL

Adam Smith był pierwszą osobą, która zidentyfikowała specjalizację i podział pracy jako główne siły napędowe produktywności. Opracował koncepcję „niewidzialnej ręki”, która wyjaśnia, w jaki sposób, przy odpowiednim zestawie bodźców, pojedyncze jednostki nastawione na osiąganie własnych celów są kierowane do wykonywania działań przynoszących korzyści całemu społeczeństwu. Obie idee mają ogromne znaczenie w dziedzinie zarządzania. W szczególności odnoszący sukcesy menedżerowie to ci, którzy są w stanie stworzyć dobre „zasady gry”, dostosowując zachęty do pracy do celów firmy. Wkład Smitha stanowi podstawę podziału pracy i pokazuje znaczenie ustanowienia właściwych „instytucji” w firmie, nazywając to sprawiedliwym systemem wynagradzania. Artykuł nawiązuje do praktycznych implikacji dla menedżerów nawiązując do wkładu osiemnastowiecznego ekonomisty. Głównym celem artykułu jest podjęcie próby zastosowania teorii z dziedziny ekonomii do dziedziny zarządzania.

Less than ten years ago, Algeria embarked on an energy transition with the objectives of sustainable development. Although it concerns all economic sectors, efforts made in the field of road transport, as the main polluter and energy consumer at the national level, are far from being sufficient despite its inclusion in policy statements. This sector is operational exclusively on fossil and exhaustible energies whereas its atmospheric pollutants and gaseous emissions are highly harmful to the environment, public health and the economy. Thus, this paper points out the emergency of an energy transition in the road transport sector to clean and renewable energy as a necessity rather than a choice. It highlights, first, the characteristics of the Algerian automobile fleet and its various impacts and damages on the environment, public health and the economy. Furthermore, it evaluates the various policy initiatives towards sustainable transport and their deficiencies. Hence, the right attitudes and regulatory instruments towards sustainable transport in Algeria are recommended.

Purpose: the main purpose of the paper is to support the sustainable development of the health resort areas by protecting their unique resources. Design/methodology/approach: the research is based on the descriptive and comparative statistical method and literature review, critical literature analysis, documentary research and comparative analysis. Findings: on the basis of the conducted analyses and research it can be concluded that a systematic increase in the living standard of the residents of the researched health resort areas is clearly visible. The key factor that may determine further increase in the living standard of the residents of the areas appears to be the development of knowledge-based economies together with the development of innovative technologies and products as well as efficient management. Originality/value: it should be assumed that the research into health resort area will be based to a large extent on its endogenous conditions and its strategic advantages. The key potential in this area is people and their knowledge, as well as skills, competencies and talents which shape social attitudes and influence behaviour towards the changes taking place, thus influencing acceptability or resistance to them.

The problems of modern urban planning are described and ways to solve these are discussed. Cities of the Russian Federation have low indicators of transport and planning efficiency; the general plan theory of the city does not answer many questions on the development of the urban environment. There are no requirements for the efficient use of urban areas and the formation of a city plan. An integrated approach is considered to improve the productivity of transport infrastructure to the modern level of motorization, develop measures to improve road safety, and also enable the prioritized development of environmentally friendly, economical, and high-speed types of public passenger transport. In this respect, the problems of improving the theory and practice of urban planning are highlighted in a new light. During the period of preparation of this article for publication, a new master plan for the development of the city of Omsk was approved, which included these proposals. The construction of the longest embankment in Eurasia began; a decision was made to use tunnels and stations of the unfinished metro for the development of tram routes.

Pomimo kryzysu, w którym się znajduje, Wenezuela jest niezwykle istotnym państwem zarówno dla Ameryki Łacińskiej jak i całego świata. Kraj z obszernymi złożami ropy naftowej i innych cennych surowców stara się pokonać wewnętrzny kryzys. Sytuacji nie ułatwia niestabilna sytuacja polityczna, nieustępliwość reżimu Nicolasa Maduro i ciągle walcząca o władzę opozycja. Lista zarówno przyczyn jak i skutków, jakie niesie za sobą sytuacja w Wenezueli jest długa. Niestety nie można powiedzieć tego samego o koncepcjach rozwiązania problemu w skuteczny i zadowalający każdą ze stron sposób.

Despite the crisis in which it finds itself, Venezuela is an extremely important country both for Latin America and the whole world. A country with vast deposits of oil and other valuable resources is trying to overcome an internal crisis. The situation is not made easier by the unstable political situation, the tenacity of the Nicolas Maduro regime and the opposition constantly fighting for power. The list of both causes and consequences of the situation in Venezuela is long. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the concepts of solving the problem in an effective and satisfactory way for each side.
