Development of Economic Security of Enterprises in the Conditions of Transformations
The economic activity of enterprises in real time is carried out in a transformational environment,
characterized by reforms in the political, economic, social spheres of life and the formation of a new worldview
on the development of economic systems. In such conditions, the security system of the enterprise becomes
especially important. The analysis of theoretical and methodological approaches of the disclosure of the essence
of economic security of an enterprise in a turbulent environment and digitalization of the economy has identified
six vectors of modern scientific achievements deal the economic security of the enterprise. The main factors of
economic security of the enterprise are: planning; external and internal environment monitoring; diagnosis in
order to implement actions to respond the threats; d) improvement of the system on the control basis. The security
of the economic space of enterprises under the conditions of transformations is due to general economic
destabilizing factors, factors of industrial development and business security factors. It is proved that the economic
security of enterprises is influenced by transformation processes at three levels of government: 1) at higher levels
of the economy (macro); 2) external, where transformations are often imposed on the enterprise and have a
revolutionary character (meso); 3) internal processes, which called by the requirements of modern market
economy and are evolutionary (micro). At the same time one of the condition for an enterprise sustainable
development and its competitive position maintaining is the improvement of the information security system.
Therefore the mechanism of economic security is characterized as a set of means, methods and tools of influence
of subjects of economic security on processes of objects for the purpose of their regulation in the conditions of
transformation
The Need for and Possibilities of Applying Preventive and Early-Stage Administravite Dispute Mediation in Lithuania
This article analyses the possibilities of using mediation in the
field of public law in Lithuania not only as an intervention method for resolving
administrative disputes, but also as a preventive measure that reduces the
possibility of raising or further escalating such disputes.
The article examines the legal doctrine and good practice of other countries
in the application of mediation in various areas of administrative law at
both the prevention stage (as a method to increase cooperation and effective
communication) and the early stage (for avoiding further escalation of the dispute),
and in both quasi-judicial and judicial institutions.
Preventive and early-stage mediation in certain areas of public administration
not only promote the avoidance of lengthy and resource-intensive formal
processes in quasi-judicial or judicial institutions, but also strengthen social
dialogue between citizens and public administrations, increasing citizens’
involvement in decision-making and their confidence in public authorities. The
wider application of mediation both as a preventive measure and at an early
stage is especially relevant in the modernization of the public administration
system and wider society, and can be understood as an integral part of the
constitutional principle of good administration that can help to implement the
principles of innovation and openness to change in public administration
The Application of Machine Learning Methods in Determining Attractive Development Directions for Tourism Businesses
CC BY-NC-ND 4.0This paper proposes a methodical approach to the selection of attractive development
directions for tourism businesses. The approach is based on the following machine learning
methods: “center of gravity” method; taxonomic indicator of the level of development; hierarchical
agglomerative and iterative methods of cluster analysis; methods for analyzing panel data; and
Kohonen neural networks. The developed approach includes the following core blocks: classification
of countries (regional market segments) according to the level of socio-economic development and
safety; formation of a diagnostic indicator system of countries’ touristic attractiveness; assessment
of the development dynamics of the market geographical segments (countries); classification of
countries according to the level of tourist attractiveness; and selection of development directions for the tourism industry. The proposed approach is implemented on the data of 35 countries, including
the EU countries and the countries of the post-Soviet space. The results show that the most attractive
geographic market segments for tourism business development are such countries as Italy, Spain,
Croatia, Greece, Portugal, and Poland. These countries are characterized by a high level of security,
average cost and barriers to entry into the tourism market, a steady pace of development of the
tourism industry, a favorable business environment, attractive natural resources, and developed
infrastructure. Comparison of the dynamics of tourist flows with the obtained distribution of
countries by the level of tourist attractiveness made it possible to single out Portugal separately,
which is characterized by a high level of tourist attractiveness, but insufficient actual intensity of
tourist flow. Implementation of the proposed approach in the business processes of travel companies
make it possible to improve the quality of management decisions regarding the choice of tourism
business development directions
Teismo ekspertizės įstatymo Lenkijoje keliai ir klystkeliai
The authors very critically refer to selected Polish regulations, particularly
with regard to the expert witness’ position in a criminal trial. The main problems
discussed in the article are as follows: absence of a consistent expert witness
law in Poland – a comprehensive legal act, non-regulated status of expert
witness, absence of measures for verification of expert witness qualifications,
ambiguity regarding the „scientific or specialist institutions”, only partial regulation
of the issue of the so-called private expert testimony, extremely low
hourly wages on the basis of which the expert’s remuneration is calculated, introducing
inadvertence as the criminal offence involving delivery of a false expert
opinion, chaos regarding the maintenance of expert register, strict control
of the expert’s access to the case file in criminal proceedings, lack of reflection
by the lawmaker de lege lata
Concepts „condonation“, „denial“, and „trivialisation“ as the objects of forensic linguistics examination
The article discusses the concepts of condonation, denial
or trivialisation of events that are considered international
crimes. Discussion is based on the English text of the Council
Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA, dictionaries and works
of the law, communication, and linguistic specialists. The
article also reviews the diversity of linguistic ways to express
condonation, denial, and trivialisation. Condonation includes
various expressions of positive evaluation: statements
that events were right and proper, gratitude, praise, or justifications Event denial is commonly implemented through
the confirmation of contrarian information. Events can be
trivialised by denying their significance, scale, mocking, or
using a lexicon expressing humiliation. Expressions of condonation,
denial, and trivialisation are illustrated by examples
from expert practice and social media
Administrative law in the activities of Mykolas Römeris
CC BY-NC-ND 4.0It is customary to consider M. Römeris as the creator of Lithuanian constitutional
law. However, his academic and social activities testified to the fact that he was also a pioneer of
Lithuanian administrative law. M. Römeris was most professionally and thoroughly interested in
issues of administrative law in Lithuania, especially in developing the concept of an administrative
court. The first monograph in Lithuanian language related to the institute of administrative law
(control of the legality of administrative acts or judicial review), “The Administrative Court”, was
written by this scholar. Not only that, but Römeris also developed the topic of administrative law in
his articles, other books, studies, diaries, and the caselaw of the Supreme Tribunal. Further, Römeris was also involved in drafting the Statute of the Council of State, drafting the Law on Administrative Courts, writing explanatory notes to draft laws, advising the Seimas Commission on drafting
the Law on Administrative Court, teaching students about judicial review, inviting professors of the
University of Paris to give public lectures on administrative justice to Lithuanian lawyers, trying to
establish a School of Political Science and an Institute of Administrative Sciences, and finally desperately trying to establish an administrative court in Lithuania.
The scientific foundation of this article consists of the material of five funds stored in the
Manuscript Departments of the National Central State Archives of Lithuania, Martynas Mažvydas
National Library, the Wróblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, and Vilnius University Library. The historical, comparative, analytical, descriptive, and document analysis methods
were used in the research
Management of Natural Resources in the Central Asian Region
The term "natural resources" refers to both the natural and socio-economic realms. Natural resources
- bodies and forces of nature - are linked to ensure close interaction in the process of nature management.
Currently, this specific region has some vulnerable issues such as biodiversity loss and land degradation that are
connected with poor resource management. The activities of modern society are followed by enormous changes
in nature, which are reflected in the Earth's exterior appearance as well as the states of geosystems. Modern
production is distinguished by the inclusion of significant reserves of natural resource potential. However, its
participation and application are ineffective. Sustainable development necessitates the management of natural
resources in a sustainable and integrated manner. The main tasks of the paper are: to discuss the theoretical
aspects of natural resources and to analyze the natural resource potential of the Central Asian region. Research
period: is modern economy of recent years 2011-2021. Research methods: analysis, observation and secondary
data collection. Research problem: mismanagement of natural resources in the Central Asian region and
economic evaluation of it. The paper introduces the analysis of scientific literature and observe the management
strategies of natural resources in the Central Asian region. The scientific research methods that were used are:
scientific literature analysis and synthesis, observation and secondary data collection. The novelty of the study is
the analytical discussion about the mismanagement of natural resources in a specific region
