“…One of the potential sources of waste decreased during pandemic restrictions was tourism. Its sharp reduction was one of the most obvious economic sudden stops (Bilan et al, 2023). However, it had no significant positive impact on waste decrease either.…”

In EU waste management policy the waste avoidance and reuse are under the highest priority and the recycling takes the third place while recovery and disposal are the least favourable options. The EU member states have to implement strict waste management policies based on this approach however though all countries have to prepare and implement waste management plants, their have achieved different results in waste management. The article aims to analyse the selected waste management indicators covering all stages of various wastes management ranging from prevention to recycling etc. available at Eurostat database and to present empirical comparative case study on waste management for Baltic. The different Multi Criteria Decision Making models were applied for comparing and ranking Baltic States based on their achievements in waste management in 2020. The case study revealed that the best performing country in waste management among Baltic States was Lithuania having the best indicators of waste generation per GDP and recycling rates of municipal waste and plastic packaging waste. Estonia was lowest ranked country according waste management due to very high overall total generated waste per capita and packaging and plastic waste per capita etc.

“…The adoption of measures of this type was not specific only to the Slovak Republic, similar measures were introduced across the board in all countries of the world. Businesses and population were forced to interact in the pandemic "new normal" with increased employment risks (Dvorsky et al, 2022;Mishchuk et al, 2023), sudden stops of numerous economic activities including those with impossible remote employment (Bilan et al, 2023;Popescu, 2021) negative consequences for communications, the necessity of finding new responses to the global challenge particularly, by adopting new technologies in business (Dias et al, 2023;Siderska et al, 2023;Nicolae et al, 2023). Thus, economic, and social life was not only paralyzed in Slovakia, but in the whole world.…”

Industry is one of the key sectors of Slovakia's economy and accounts for approximately 22% of GDP. Industrial production accounts for an average of 85% of the industry's contribution to GDP. The period of 2020 and 2021 was a crisis for all sectors of the economy due to the announcement of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Regarding the importance of industrial production in Slovakia's economy, we examine the impact of the coronavirus crisis on a sample of companies operating in this sector. Changes in the operational activity of enterprises are directly reflected in the volume of their net working capital. The aim of the study is to research changes in the volume of net working capital of enterprises in individual branches of the manufacturing industry in Slovakia from 2017 to 2021. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to examine the significance of interannual changes in this indicator. The findings point to the growth of the volume of net working capital in crisis periods in almost all branches of industrial production and confirm the increase in requirements for managing working capital in periods of economic decline.

“…In addition to healthcare, the pandemic significantly affected trade, finance, and consumption developments. Especially such sectors as tourism (Bilan et al, 2023;Vašaničová et al, 2023;Żemła & Szromek, 2023), hospitality, events sectors (Iwu et al, 2023), and the global airline industry were negatively influenced by the pandemic because of the travel bans (Zain et al, 2022). For instance, international tourist arrivals decreased by 75% in 2020 (Beha, 2023).…”

The article aims to model the COVID-19 mortality in EU member states. It depends on chosen factors, determine the ranking of factors' importance and attempts for their reduction. Further objectives include identifying states with similar values of identified factors and their geographical concentration. This is exploratory research and is a quantitative research study according to the type of data used. Using the supervised machine learning random forest algorithm, we predict the number of COVID-19 deaths depending on analyzed factors. From 23 factors, we choose the seven most important factors. This selection is based on the highest value, Inc Node Purity. The cluster analysis is used to create groups of states with similar values of chosen factors. Because of the nonuniform methodology of reported deaths, we use excess mortality to measure COVID-19 mortality. The most important factor influencing COVID-19 mortality is the death rate due to circulatory system diseases. The second most significant factor is the avoidable mortality. The third most relevant factor is GDP per capita in purchasing power parity. Similar values of analyzed factors can be found in Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Hungary, Croatia, and Latvia. COVID-19 mortality in these countries is almost three times higher than in the rest of the EU. Decision-makers could use the gained findings to decrease inequalities in the field of healthcare, mostly through efficient interventions in public healthcare and primary prevention. The results demonstrate that more investment in promoting health in the future will be necessary in the cohesion policy framework.
