It is in question to keep global warming under control since at least carbon dioxide emissions are balanced with the net zero target. In order to avoid severe climate impacts, global greenhouse gas emissions should decrease by half by 2030 and reach zero by 2050. Thus, this study aims to measure the performance of European Countries based on carbon emissions. To measure performance, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is used. To use this method, decision-making units (DMUs), inputs, and outputs are determined. Input is identified as Primary Energy Consumption. Outputs are selected as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, and Nitrous Oxide (N2O) emission.","PeriodicalId":277698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Engineering and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132360645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, there have been dramatic changes in global investment trends. The war has repercussions far beyond its immediate surroundings, causing a cost-of-living crisis that affects billions of people around the world while rising energy and food prices depress real incomes and exacerbate debt tensions. Investor uncertainty and risk aversion could put significant pressure on FDI flow this year. The impact on investment flows to developing countries in 2022 and beyond is difficult to predict. The research aims to establish the regularity of the state of investment activity in the context of the global world crisis and to determine the features and prospects of investment activity development. This can be done by conducting a regression analysis to reflect the dependence of the impact of factors on the level of investment activity in 25 economies of the world according to the Global Outsourcing Attractiveness Index between the results of legal adaptability and corporate performance. To check the level of investment activity it is necessary to analyze the state of FDI flows by regions, economies, and countries. Research methods: method of information synthesis; regression analysis; systematization, generalization, comparative analysis. Results. It has been established that as a result of regression analysis, the value of the coefficient of determination indicates that the regression model explains 78% of the dependence of the level of investment activity in 25 economies of the world between the results of legal adaptability and corporate activity. This indicates that there are still a small number of other factors influencing the level of investment activity that is not included in the regression model. It has been determined that global FDI flows recovered to USD 972 billion in the first half of 2022. However, most of the increase was in the first quarter, while global FDI flows decreased by 22% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the previous quarter. This was caused by rising inflation and interest rates, and rising energy prices, due to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The study found that FDI flows recovered significantly in all regions of the world. It was found that FDI increased sharply in some European countries after the negative inflows recorded in the second half of 2022, the latter was also driven by significant growth in Australia, Germany, Mexico, Spain, and Sweden, whose FDI inflows increased by more than USD 15 billion. It has been revealed that the United States was the leading recipient and investor of FDI worldwide in 2021.","PeriodicalId":277698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Engineering and Development","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116400139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thanks to tax incentives as a leading element of the fiscal mechanism, the state influences the amount of financial resources that are at the disposal of taxpayers − legal entities and individuals - and can be used for investment. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of tax incentives to ensure the investment development of enterprises and households in EU member states and in Ukraine; to conduct SWOT analysis of investment tax incentives, and to find opportunities to further improve of their management. The study substantiates the content of tax incentives and the conditions of their use to activate investment processes at the micro level. The experience of EU member states in the use of different ways of tax stimulation of investments of legal entities and individuals is generalized. The tax incentives introduced in Ukraine are considered and the key problems of their existence are described in the context of stimulating the investment activity of taxpayers. SWOT analysis of investment tax incentives was carried out, which helped to identify the positive and negative impact of the external and internal environment on their implementation. The necessity and principles of management of investment preferential taxation are established. Improvement of the management of providing investment tax incentives in Ukraine is proposed on the basis of taking into account the experience of EU member states. It has been proven that the purposeful use of tax incentives stimulates the investment activity of households and economic entities, so Ukraine’s use of the experience of EU countries to solve the problems of providing tax incentives to individuals and legal entities will eventually lead to the intensification of investment processes at the micro level.","PeriodicalId":277698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Engineering and Development","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121761643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermal rejection from MED is recovered to be used as heat input in HP that based on mechanical compression of working fluid. The HP can use the working fluids (R22, ammonia) for a number of reasons, including that the two previous fluids are very dense at the saturated vapor state compared to water.

The pot measure utilized was a surface with a distance across of 30 cm and was filled with developing media. The results of the study showed that the mechanism of action of the rhizobacterial formula in increasing rice yields was the presence of acetoin compounds and derivative compounds such as 2-Butanone, 3-hydroxy, 2,3-butanediol, diacetate, 2,3-Butanediol (CAS), 2-Butanone, 3-acetyloxy, and 1,4-Dioxane. These compounds were produced by rhizobacteria in the rhizosphere, which helped plants achieve acetoin homeostatic conditions so that plants could increase plant height, leaf area, number, number of productive tillers, panicle length, percentage of filled and empty grain, and reduce amylose content.

In general the data display a low level of financial resilience of Albanians, where 64 % of individuals declare that they cannot come up with an unexpected expenditure shock and 69 % of individuals have financial cushion less than 3 months and only 15 % of individuals are concerned about their level of debt.
