“…This variable is so different compared to other countries that it determines the division into a separate one-element cluster. Hard coal, due to its rich deposits, is and will be the basic energy source in the country in the next decade [9,10,11,12,13]. Hard coal mining in Poland has been undergoing restructuring for many years in order to adapt the business structure and economic efficiency to the current market requirements [14,15,16].…”

The article undertakes research in the field of analyzing the similarity of Member States in terms of parameters characterizing the level of development of energy markets. Internal energy integration within the European Union requires transformation of energy systems towards the production of ecological energy, which is a challenge for the economies of many countries. Therefore, the article shows a significant level of diversity in the energy markets of individual countries, which indicates the possibility of differentiating the set ecological goals to be achieved by 2030. Multidimensional analysis was used to select groups of similar countries. Data were collected for 2018 for nine diagnostic variables. The research resulted in six clusters of countries similar to each other in terms of the level of development of energy markets.

“…The extractive industry is one of the most significant sector in shaping the global economic situation in the world (Ranosz, 2014). This is confirmed by trends in the global market for mining of minerals, because countries that are rich in natural resources such as Brazil, Russia, India and China were the fastest growing economies of the world that already in 2000e2008 accounted for 50% of global economic growth (Pitfield et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c tGreenhouse gas emissions are a global problem. Although the EU countries from 1990 to 2012 reduced their total emissions by 19.2% (CO 2 eq.), it is still necessary to limit their emissions. In the article the possibility of using the taxonomic methods that allow grouping (classifying) objects described by many attributes (variables) is presented. In particular, cluster analysis was used, in which some methods for the isolation of homogeneous subsets of surveyed objects can be distinguished. One of such method is kmeans algorithm. As a measure of similarity of objects in clusters the Euclidean distance was applied. In the analysis 28 European countries were taken as objects of research and they were described by four attributes (variables), i.e. the emission levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and nitrous oxide. The aim of the analysis is to grouping objects e the European countries e into clusters that are most similar to each other in the same cluster and most unlike in other clusters. The research was carried out according to total greenhouse gas emissions, and according to emissions of these gases per capita of the countries surveyed. The analyses are based on Eurostat reports.

“…As an example, the mining industry needs a significant number of employees with highly specific personal characteristics and skills, but it depends on the labor market and education systems on whether such employees can be attracted in sufficient quantities. The relationship is highly complex [6,7] because of aspects such as the influence of automation [8], gender selection [9], and indigenous involvement [10].…”

Exploitation of Mineral Resources Requires Proper People: Expectations of the World’s Top Mining Companies

2021

Human resources are essential for the mining industry. It is important to understand the requirements of the companies regarding the characteristics of their employees. Job- and career-related web pages of 40 of the world’s top mining companies have been analyzed for the general demands on their employees. These demands are attributed intuitively to seven basic categories (each category includes words with more or less coherent meanings). It is found that the most commonly demanded characteristics are skills, dedication to the work, and personality. Surprisingly, the least attention is paid to social issues. The disclosed expectations are weakly coherent, with the only persistent demand being talent. It also appears that North American and European companies are especially concerned of work dedication, whereas Asian and African companies are primarily concerned of skills. The present study deduces that policy improvements in contemporary mining are necessary—at least, the demands on the employees should be made better in agreement with the actual needs of the mining industry.
