Smart cities are an emerging phenomenon, which is not only called for by their inhabitant's needs, but also by the more and more pressuring external factors, such as global economic slowdown, the increasing scarcity of resources and climate change. While smart cities are to increase the quality of life of the people, often the people themselves are not ready, not smart enough for...
When planning the Institutional Artwork Protection of a temporary or permanent exhibition, it is not enough to adopt a template property protection plan or security protocol. In order to develop complex protection plans it is essential to consider professional specialities, since it is necessary to prepare for entirely different risk factors, hazards, and environmental conditions...
Autonomous systems are already available for public and private transport. The necessary hardware and software products have been created, and novel designs for (semi-) autonomous vehicles are launched every year, but their use is limited, and the penetration is not increasing rapidly. While this might be owing to their high price, their perception is also not universally...
Among the top ten construction projects in 2023, Crossrail 2 – London in the UK is the first, Mumbai International Airport in India is the second, and the third is the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in Ethiopia. The first two projects are transport investments and the third is the largest hydroelectric energy investment in Africa. Crossrail 2 was estimated to cost £32,6 billion...
The European Commission has given special attention to the digital evolution of the European economy and society since the early 2000s. Starting with 2014, the Digital Economy and Society Index has become a key monitoring and assessment instrument. In 2021, the main indicators of the Digital Economy and Society Index were matched with the Digital Agenda 2030 targets, which...
E-learning is increasingly used in modern educational institutions, especially since the pandemic COVID-19. By examining the role of gender, education, and urban growth in e-learning, we can learn more about possible differences and digital divides within and between EU countries. To successfully address inequality in education, legislators need to understand the causes of...
This article identifies and analyses the applications of the main non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis methodology in the efficiency measurement of the creative and cultural industries and sectors. The overarching goal of this study is to survey all the relevant published studies in this area and present and analyse their results to synthesise the state of knowledge in the...
This article aims to study the communication styles among different national cultures; that is, we examine the relationship between national culture, based on the Hofstede model, and communication styles. In order to investigate the role of national culture, it is fundamental first to analyze the communication styles and then identify how these are related to each other, with the...
The wine market in the world is well developed, and the countries at the very top of production are making great efforts to maintain their leading position. Traditional cultures and autochthonous sorts are especially valued, and many tourists are willing to pay well for this uniqueness and quality, which is why wine tourism has been developing more and more in the last 20 years...
In this article, three small private R&D intensive European entities have been used in a case study involving game theory combined with content analysis; in an attempt to identify an optimal investment strategy. A game theory matrix is constructed for each entity based on previous exposure of investors to the entities’ capital sources. The basic concept is that the investment...
Although cloud computing is a rapidly evolving technology and is considered one of the key technological drivers of business digitalisation, it is still a challenge for many businesses to adopt it. Implementing the right cloud services is challenging and requires the right level of knowledge. In addition, the size of the company, its digital maturity and its financial situation...
