2024-03-29T12:01:12+02:00

The widespread emphasis on democratic governance makes it relevant for social partners to view collective bargaining as a significant means for joint work regulation. Collective bargaining promotes workers’ voice and creates symbiotic relations between employers and trade unions. The study focused on the aspect of collective bargaining extension mechanisms. The study encompasses group of workers covered and those excluded from collective agreements (not necessarily unionised workers), parties involved, extension of collective agreements, workers with the right and without the rights bargaining. The study was qualitative in nature, with a sample size of 15 participants from the public service. Participants were selected using purposive sampling method. The findings of the current study revealed that when a decision is made, government, as the employer, takes a holistic approach and extends the benefits to all government employees, including those who are unionised and non-unionised, as well as management and disciplined forces. It has become apparent that though extension mechanisms are not documented nor provided for in the law, there is a default erga omnes effect of collective bargaining agreements in the public sector.

Rethinking Boundaries

2024-06-05T09:40:13+03:00

A turning point in the sector was the bankruptcy of FTX, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, in late 2022. Sam Bankman-Fried founded FTX, which at first prospered with its cutting-edge offers. However, because of financial mismanagement and regulatory issues, FTX experienced a liquidity problem and widespread withdrawals. The collapse revealed regulatory shortcomings and generated demands for improved supervision and investor protection on a global scale. It is essential to implement swift changes, such as harmonized laws and transparent auditing, in order to reduce risks and promote market integrity. Nonetheless, regulatory obstacles continue to exist, necessitating a careful balancing act between innovation and supervision. The failure highlights the necessity of educating stakeholders and helping them adjust to the changing cryptocurrency environment. Regulations guarantee stability, investor trust, and institutional involvement, even though they may also present challenges. In the end, the crash of FTX steered the sector toward responsible expansion and emphasized the significance of strong regulatory frameworks in determining the course of cryptocurrency markets.

Utilizing Bank Loans to Enhance the Energy Efficiency of Enterprises in the Western Balkan Countries

2024-01-31T12:01:53+02:00

The improvement of energy efficiency and transitioning to renewable energy sources in conditions of intense efforts to reduce global warming has become a need. Numerous programs were adopted for financing these activities by international financial institutions and development organizations, whereby a significant part of these programs are implemented by banks. This paper analyses bank loans that have been approved within the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) program to evaluate their contribution to the realization of the energy performance of enterprises in the Western Balkans countries. By applying content analysis, case study, and comparative methods on the analysed enterprises, it was determined that the mentioned programs were implemented in the Republic of Serbia, North Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. These programs and credit lines contributed to increasing the energy efficiency of enterprises in the analysed countries. Considering the dominant role of banks in the financial sectors of the Western Balkans countries, banks should take on the role of project creditors oriented towards the improvement of energy efficiency in the future, especially when crediting SMEs. In order to be able to support as many of these projects as possible, banks need to strengthen their institutional and personnel capacities.

We delve into the use of Unreal Engine’s AI to personalize user interactions, ensuring that marketing content is tailored to individual preferences and behaviors. This personalization is achieved through the analysis of user data and the implementation of machine learning algorithms, which enable the system to learn and adapt over time. The use of AI also extends to the creation of intelligent virtual assistants and chatbots, providing real-time support and engagement to users.

The sustainability of the system is underscored by its ability to reduce the need for physical marketing materials and in-person events, leading to a decrease in the environmental footprint of marketing activities. Furthermore, the system’s adaptability ensures its long-term viability, as it can be easily updated and modified to suit changing market conditions and consumer preferences.

The article also addresses the challenges and ethical considerations associated with the use of AI in marketing, emphasizing the importance of transparency, data security, and user privacy. Best practices and guidelines for the responsible use of AI in marketing are discussed, providing a roadmap for organizations looking to implement similar systems.

In conclusion, the development of a sustainable marketing system with Unreal Engine represents a significant step forward in the integration of advanced technologies in marketing. The use of AI not only enhances user engagement and personalization but also contributes to the sustainability and efficiency of marketing activities. As the industry continues to evolve, the insights gained from this implementation will be invaluable in shaping the future of sustainable and tech-driven marketing strategies.

ANALYSIS OF ECOWAS QUEST FOR REGIME SURVIVAL VERSUS REPUBLIC OF NIGER

2024-03-29T11:57:04+02:00

The study explores ECOWAS quest for regime survival in the aftermath of the collapse of the democratic government in the Republic of Niger, being the fifth country in the row in West Africa within three (3) years. It sought to unveil the latent reasons behind ECOWAS stand, interrogate whether it was acting as a proxy and identify the linkages between the destruction of Nord-Stream Gas Pipeline phase 1 and 2, the renewed interest in Trans-Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) and ECOWAS pursuit of regime survival. The analysis approached the study through an exploratory and diagnostic method, which explored historical and time-series events in the analysis. The procedure revealed that wherever democratic regimes failed to add value to the lives of citizens through democratic accountability, the people will embark on protest actions out of relative deprivation that confront them. Military coup d’etat is an extreme form of protest at the level of supplantment as witnessed in Niger. It further disclosed that ECOWAS quest for regime survival is unconnected with TSGP project meant to convey gas from Nigeria through Niger Republic via Algeria to western Europe through Italy. The declaration by the coupists that Niger will not honour its own part of the contract any longer would result in extreme dependence of Western Europe on Russia for gas. The logical alternative is to get ECOWAS to embark on regime restoration in order to honour the pipeline contract and possibly free Europe from the stranglehold of Russia. The analysis concluded that Russian -Ukraine kind of war looms in Niger, which is capable of engulfing Nigeria and the sub-region.
