ROLE OF POWER DISTANCE AND INDIVIDUALISM VS COLLECTIVISM IN SHAPING ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENT
No full textThis study examines how two of Hofstede's cultural dimensions—Power Distance and Individualism versus Collectivism—affect entrepreneurial intent in Saudi Arabia. Using Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions as a framework, the research explores how cultural differences shape entrepreneurial activities, focusing on Saudi culture compared to other global cultures. The study aims to empirically analyse the influence of these cultural dimensions on entrepreneurial intent, assess their role in the success of entrepreneurial ventures in Saudi Arabia, and provide insights for entrepreneurs and policymakers to enhance decision-making and strategic planning. The research methodology includes a literature review and a self-administered online survey completed by 200 respondents. The findings reveal that High Power Distance and Collectivism significantly impact entrepreneurial intent in Saudi Arabia, offering valuable implications for promoting entrepreneurship in alignment with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. The study also contributes to academic understanding by providing a framework to analyse the relationship between cultural dimensions and entrepreneurial activities in the Saudi context
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF CONSUMERS'AND TOURISM EXPERTS' ATTITUDE TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOURISM SECTOR IN THE REGIONS OF LITHUANIA
No full textThe processes of economic, social and political globalisation have made tourism one of the leading sectors of the economy and a major economic activity and source of income in many countries. Tourism development encourages regions to compete with each other to attract more tourists, and regional competitiveness is inextricably linked to and has a direct impact on tourism growth. The aim of the study was to compare the views of tourism experts and consumers and to find common ground in assessing the competitiveness of tourism regions in terms of sustainability. Two quantitative surveys were conducted: tourism consumers and tourism experts. The results of the surveys are compared. The conclusions are reached: when comparing the opinions of consumers and tourism experts on the most important factors of sustainable development of the tourism sector, the opinions of consumers and tourism experts agree on such factors of the tourism sector as the accessibility of tourism, the creation of tourist routes accessible to all (people with disabilities). Comparing the opinions of consumers and tourism experts on the most important problems of sustainable development of the tourism sector and the most important activities for sustainable development of the tourism sector, the opinions of both consumers and tourism experts agree on the most important problems of the tourism sector: it would be the lack of knowledge about the nature and principles of sustainable tourism in local politics, underdeveloped infrastructure and economic problems: insufficient investments in sustainable tourism development

THE STUDY OF THE PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ACACIA HONEY WESTERN GEORGIA
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the physico-chemical characteristics, phenolic compound content, and antioxidant activity of acacia honey produced in the western regions of Georgia (Imereti, Guria, Adjara) in accordance with Codex Alimentarius standards. At the initial stage of the research, pollen analysis was conducted to confirm the botanical origin of the honey. There is no significant difference in the average characteristics of the honey across the regions. By jointly analyzing these parameters, we aim to confirm the naturalness and origin of acacia honey produced in Western Georgia
USA INAUGURAL SPEECH: A STATISTICAL APPROACH
No full textThe aim of this study is to determine the statistical characteristics of the terms present in the inaugural speeches of the elected American presidents, from the year 2000 to date. The methods applied belong to text mining and they determined the existence of a specific distribution of terms (Zipf and Heaps law), the correlation between certain words, the frequency of terms (alongside TF–IDF), the lexical variation within the speeches (Type–Token Ration, Hapax Richness), as well as the type of sentiment extracted by comparing specific sentiment lexicons (Afinn versus Bing). Thus, from a quantitative point of view and based on the results obtained in R, it is possible to deduce which terms will be used in the following inaugural speeches of future American presidents. This paper was co-financed by the Bucharest University of Economic Studies as part of the PhD programme
ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF MUNICIPAL WASTE IN INDIVIDUAL REGIONS OF SLOVAKIA IN THE YEARS 2011 – 2022
No full textThe aim of this post is to analyze the structure of municipal waste in the individual regions of Slovakia. The analysis is based on data for the years 2011–2022, sourced from the database of the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. Despite being the smallest in area, the Bratislava Region records the highest values of municipal waste among all the regions of Slovakia. Comparable values were observed in the Nitra Region. The lowest volume of municipal waste was found in the Banská Bystrica and Trenčín Regions, with the Banská Bystrica Region being the largest region in Slovakia by area. Regarding the structure of municipal waste, in 2022, the Bratislava Region produced the most – 16% of Slovakia's total municipal waste, while the Banská Bystrica and Trenčín Regions produced the least – 10%. Between 2011 and 2022, the total volume of municipal waste in Slovakia increased by 47%. The Bratislava Region (8.19%) and Nitra Region (7.14%) contributed the most to this increase, with the indicator in the Bratislava Region rising by as much as 53.85% when comparing these two years. The lowest increase was recorded in the Trenčín Region at 36.06%. The smallest contribution to the overall increase in municipal waste was found in the Trenčín (4.05%) and Košice (4.44%) Regions
ROTARY BROACHING - TECHNOLOGY, APPLICATION AND CAPABILITY
No full textThe present paper presents a relatively new technology called rotary broaching for processing external and internal profile surfaces –. The technology can be implemented on lathes (turning centers, multi-task machines) and milling machines with CNC, using a special holder with a tool having the geometry of the processed profile surface installed on it. The tool holder has a specific geometry, providing an angular location of the tool axis relative to the machined surface of 1֠, offering the possibility of machining. One of the main advantages of this technology is that it allows the processing of profile surfaces in blind holes and closed external surfaces, for example, on the steps of rotating parts. It requires preliminary preparation of the treated surface, where for internal profile surfaces, it is necessary to process a starting hole with a certain diameter and length, depending on the size of the profile surface. Furthermore, processing by this technology implies obtaining high productivity, as it works with feed for a speed of 0.01 ÷ 0.12 mm/rev and spindle speed (workpiece) 1000 ÷ 3000 min-1 depending on the processed material. According to the manufacturers of tools used for a rotary broach, various types of material with tensile strength Rm up to 1400 N / mm2 can be processed, such as stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and copper alloys, titanium, brass, and others
