How to build an effective system of activating the innovativeness of business entities financed with the use of subsidies from the system of public finances of the state?
What are the most effective measures for activating the innovativeness of economic entities, thanks to which the scale of investments made in technological branches of the economy increases and economic development accelerates?
An important factor determining the level of economic development in highly developed countries, which also translates into the level of income and general well-being of the economic, material, livelihood situation, etc. of citizens is the level of innovation of companies and enterprises. The issue of innovativeness of economic entities translates into labor productivity, efficiency of manufacturing processes and profitability of economic processes implemented by companies and enterprises. Innovation of economic entities can be realized in various spheres and areas of economic activity of companies, enterprises and also financial and public institutions. Business entities can create and develop technological, product, service, logistics, process, organizational, marketing and other innovations. In connection with the rapid technological progress and the ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies being developed, among others, technological innovations are particularly important considering the issues of improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes, increasing labor productivity, improving the profitability of production, etc. In recent years, the scale of implementation into business entities of such Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies as Big Data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, blockchain, digital twins, cyber security instruments, machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, among others, has been growing. Among the important factors in the implementation of new technologies to companies, enterprises, financial and public institutions are favorable conditions for external investment financing of the creation or purchase, implementation and development of new technologies. External financing includes, among others, investment loans offered by commercial banks, equity financing offered by investment funds, national financial subsidies and financial subsidies under certain European Union programs, financing realized through the issuance of securities, i.e. shares and corporate bonds, loan funds, funds, etc. The innovativeness of business entities is often correlated with the level of entrepreneurship of these entities. Therefore, the government programs conducted to activate the innovation of business entities are often programs that also activate entrepreneurship. In recent years, the instruments of activation of innovation and entrepreneurship have included changes to the tax system as part of the fiscal policy pursued, as well as increasing outlays from the state finance system for the creation of funds for systemic support for the development of innovative business ventures initiated by startups and companies operating in the new technology sector. On the other hand, the soft monetary policy applied before and during the Covid-19 pandemic did not have significant effects in improving innovation and entrepreneurship. The interest rates lowered by the central banks to successive historically low levels did not result in a significant increase in the scale of innovation and entrepreneurship among economic agents. Lenient monetary policy improved liquidity in the financial sector, including the interbank market, activated lending in commercial banks' lending activities, improved the prosperity occurring in capital markets, including reducing the scale of the downturn in securities markets. Indirectly, therefore, an easing monetary policy can be a factor in the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship, if a significant portion of business loans, including investment loans, are taken by business entities to finance a venture involving the development or purchase and implementation of new technologies. In the context of the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship, it may also be important to improve and adapt to a specific socio-economic situation interventionist, anti-crisis and pro-development instruments and programs implemented under specific socio-economic policies, including, above all, budgetary, fiscal and sectoral policies, including sectoral policies to support the development of innovation.
I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the most effective measures for activating the innovativeness of business entities, so that the scale of investments made in technological branches of the economy increases and economic development accelerates?
How to build an effective system of activating the innovativeness of business entities financed with subsidies from the state's public finance system?
How to effectively activate the innovation of business entities using financial subsidies from the state's public finance system?

How to increase the efficiency of the use of financial subsidies from the state's public finance system so that they effectively activate entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities?
How to increase the efficiency of the use of financial subsidies from the state's public finance system so that they are largely allocated to real pro-development investment projects, effectively activate economic processes, entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities and accelerate the economic development of the country?
How should the financial subsidies of the European Union granted to Poland under the National Reconstruction Plan be distributed so that they primarily contribute to the effective development of the national economy?
Increasing the efficiency of the use of financial subsidies from the state's public finance system, so that to a large extent the said subsidies are allocated to real pro-development investment projects, effectively activate economic processes, entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities, and thus the country's economic development can be significantly accelerated in the coming years. Unfortunately, there is little time, as only 2 years to effectively use this money which was a result of the failure to meet the so-called milestones set by the European Union by the previous government in Poland, which functioned from 2015-2023. The key issue is that most of these funds should realistically feed new investment projects, not be “eaten up”, consumed in current purposes that do not have the character of investment, not be wasted, not be subject to financial embezzlement, etc.., because then the impact of this money on the economy, on economic growth in the next few years, the impact on improving economic development will be much smaller. In view of the fact that the funds to be used, i.e. PLN 600 billion (total low-rate loans and grants), will be relatively large and the time to use them will be short, so it is necessary to improve the existing national procedures in the matter of application, substantive analysis of submitted applications for grants, granting of funds, ongoing monitoring of the implementation of investments and their settlement. One of the effects of unblocking access to these funds granted under the National Reconstruction Plan is the process of appreciation of the PLN against the euro, which is already taking place since the autumn of 2023, and reduces the scale of “import” of inflation into Poland thanks to such large euro subsidies to come to the country where I operate. Well, thanks to these funds, economic growth in Poland as early as 2024 can be higher than the projected about 3% if these funds are effectively, well invested, etc. This scenario will come true, assuming that other international, global macroeconomic variables do not deteriorate, i.e. current risks do not increase significantly, and there are various risks outside Poland that affect the Polish economy. A kind of symptom of this issue was the strong increases in shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange on Monday 16.10.2023, i.e. just after the elections on 15.10.2023 when one of the internationally recognized rating agencies suggested that thanks to the outcome of these parliamentary elections, the probability of unlocking European Union subsidies for Poland from the National Reconstruction Plan would increase significantly. Besides, it is important to point out the legitimacy of continuing key investment goals such as accelerating the process of green energy transformation. An important determinant of increasing the scale of investment processes carried out as part of the green transformation of the power industry is the issue of reducing the risk of a future energy crisis like the one that occurred in Poland in 2022, in order to meet the guidelines of the European Union under the Green Deal, which should result in reducing the scale of future energy price increases in Poland, etc. The green transformation of the energy industry is a key rarity of the green transformation of the economy towards building a green closed loop economy. Besides, subsidies from the European Union's financial programs, i.e., primarily from the National Reconstruction Plan, should not only be used for investment projects carried out mainly by large, few energy companies, but should be used to a large extent to finance activities carried out by prosumer citizens to increase energy security for the household and reduce the costs incurred in subsequent years for energy purchases, i.e. prosumer ventures, e.g., installing photovoltaic panels on the roofs of their homes as part of the expansion of such programs as “My Current,” for example, so that prosumers' own participation in these investment processes is small, as it is currently still too large and is a financial barrier for many households. In addition to the economic processes related to the green transformation of the economy, including mainly the green transformation of the energy sector, the financial resources from the National Recovery Plan are to finance investment projects carried out as part of the continuation of the processes of digitization of the economy, including enterprises, implementation into companies and institutions of new ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including, for example, Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, etc. In addition, the aforementioned financial subsidies are to be used to support the implementation of investment projects in the field of investment, through which the state of road and rail transportation infrastructure is to be improved. In addition to this, support from the National Reconstruction Plan funds is also to be given to the health sector, although the importance of this support has significantly decreased since there is no longer a Covid-19 pandemic, and the European Union's program of these grants was developed in 2020 during the pandemic and was originally intended to largely support the anti-pandemic activities carried out within the medical sector.
I have also described many of these aforementioned aspects in my publications posted on my profile of this Research Gate portal.
The key issues of the problematic sources of Poland's exceptionally deep energy cross in 2022 are described in my co-authored article below:
POLAND'S 2022 ENERGY CRISIS AS A RESULT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND YEARS OF NEGLECT TO CARRY OUT A GREEN TRANSFORMATION OF THE ENERGY SECTOR
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should the financial subsidies of the European Union granted to Poland under the National Reconstruction Plan be distributed, so that they primarily contribute to the effective development of the national economy?
How to increase the efficiency of the use of financial subsidies from the state's public finance system, so that they are largely allocated to real pro-development investment projects, effectively activate economic processes, entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities and accelerate the economic development of the country?

How does the cooperation of colleges and universities with commercially functioning economic entities, including companies and businesses, contribute to increasing innovation in the economy?
Colleges and universities, as part of their teaching and research activities, research work carried out, adaptation of curricula to the changing realities of the modern economy, support for students in terms of cooperation with potential employers, institutions that may be the subject of written theses, support for the development of innovative startups founded by students, performance of research and analytical commissioned work, establishment of cooperation clusters, development of reports on the development of selected spheres, branches, problems of the modern economy, civilization, etc., undertake cooperation with various economic entities and public institutions. Such developed cooperation between universities and other entities, enterprises, companies, financial institutions and public institutions, cultural institutions, etc., can significantly contribute to increasing innovation in the economy. A key issue is to involve students in the development of such cooperation. Improving the aforementioned cooperation can and should result in better adaptation of the research work carried out at universities to the increasingly rapidly changing trends in the economy. The implementation of new ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, including generative artificial intelligence technology into universities should foster the development of such cooperation.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How does the cooperation of colleges and universities with commercially functioning economic entities, including companies and enterprises, contribute to increasing innovation in the economy?
How does the cooperation of universities with business entities contribute to increasing innovation in the economy?

What are the biggest strategic challenges that insurance companies are facing as a result of digitalisation?
I authored a paper titled
"The Essence of 'E': Revealing the Infinitely Infinite" in the IJFMR Volume 5, Issue 5, September-October 2023, authored by Haque Mobassir, Imtiyazul Haque, and Shaikh. The DOI is 10.36948/ijfmr.2023.v05i05.7494.
In this paper, I introduced the concept of 'E' as the fundamental reason for all existence. I am now sharing a preprint of an experimental hypothesis to explore some ideas mentioned in the aforementioned paper
1. "Finite and Infinite originate from a common source, 'E.'"
2. "E is significantly smaller and lighter than any of its creations."
I would appreciate your thoughts after reviewing the attachment
There are a lot of researchers who go by the book the right approach and write results, and observations in their field of work, proving the existing information or suggesting improvement in the experiment for better analysis and so on, very hard working but then there are other who are crazy thinkers always suggesting things with little backup from existing experiments or know facts, always radical in their understanding of results, and these people mostly get dismissed as blip by the first category of researchers.
So if I have to take your opinion who will you back for hitting gold one who is methodical and hardworking or who are crazy thinker?
Suppose a person has a very different perspective about an almost established scientific facts, and he still want to move ahead with establishing/sharing his perspective so what are the methods at his disposal?
One thing to note here is that the perspective have no support of existing literature nor of any lab observations.
Thanks
How to create a system of digital, universal tagging of various kinds of works, texts, photos, publications, graphics, videos, etc. made by artificial intelligence and not by humans?
How to create a system of digital, universal labelling of different types of works, texts, texts, photos, publications, graphics, videos, innovations, patents, etc. performed by artificial intelligence and not by humans, i.e. works whose legal, ethical, moral, business, security qualification .... etc. should be different for what is the product of artificial intelligence?
Two days earlier, in an earlier post, I started a discussion on the question of the necessity of improving the security of the development of artificial intelligence technology and asked the following questions: how should the system of institutional control of the development of advanced artificial intelligence models and algorithms be structured, so that this development does not get out of control and lead to negative consequences that are currently difficult to foresee? Should the development of artificial intelligence be subject to control? And if so, who should exercise this control? How should an institutional system for controlling the development of artificial intelligence applications be built? Why are the creators of leading technology companies developing ICT, Internet technologies, Industry 4.0, including those developing artificial intelligence technologies, etc. now calling for the development of this technology to be periodically, deliberately slowed down, so that the development of artificial intelligence technology is fully under control and does not get out of hand? On the other hand, while continuing my reflections on the indispensability of improving the security of the development of artificial intelligence technology, analysing the potential risks of the dynamic and uncontrolled development of this technology, I hereby propose to continue my deliberations on this issue and invite you to participate in a discussion aimed at identifying the key determinants of building an institutional control system for the development of artificial intelligence, including the development of advanced models composed of algorithms similar or more advanced to the ChatGPT 4.0 system developed by the OpenAI company and available on the Internet. It is necessary to normatively regulate a number of issues related to artificial intelligence, both the issue of developing advanced models composed of algorithms that form artificial intelligence systems; posting these technological solutions in open access on the Internet; enabling these systems to carry out the process of self-improvement through automated learning of new content, knowledge, information, abilities, etc.; building an institutional system of control over the development of artificial intelligence technology and current and future applications of this technology in various fields of activity of people, companies, enterprises, institutions, etc. operating in different sectors of the economy. Recently, realistic-looking photos of well-known, highly recognisable people, including politicians, presidents of states in unusual situations, which were created by artificial intelligence, have appeared on the Internet on online social media sites. What has already appeared on the Internet as a kind of 'free creativity' of artificial intelligence, creativity both in terms of the creation of 'fictitious facts' in descriptions of events that never happened, in descriptions created as an answer to a question posed for the ChatGPT system, and in terms of photographs of 'fictitious events', already indicates the potentially enormous scale of disinformation currently developing on the Internet, and this is thanks to the artificial intelligence systems whose products of 'free creativity' find their way onto the Internet. With the help of artificial intelligence, in addition to texts containing descriptions of 'fictitious facts', photographs depicting 'fictitious events', it is also possible to create films depicting 'fictitious events' in cinematic terms. All of these creations of 'free creation' by artificial intelligence can be posted on social media and, in the formula of viral marketing, can spread rapidly on the Internet and can thus be a source of serious disinformation realised potentially on a large scale. Dangerous opportunities have therefore arisen for the use of technology to generate disinformation about, for example, a competitor company, enterprise, institution, organisation or individual. Within the framework of building an institutional control system for the development of artificial intelligence technology, it is necessary to take into account the issue of creating a digital, universal marking system for the various types of works, texts, photos, publications, graphics, films, innovations, patents, etc. performed by artificial intelligence and not by humans, i.e. works whose legal, ethical, moral, business, security qualification ..., should be different for what is the product of artificial intelligence. It is therefore necessary to create a system of digital, universal labelling of the various types of works, texts, photos, publications, graphics, videos, etc., made by artificial intelligence and not by humans. The only issue for discussion is therefore how this should be done.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How to create a system for the digital, universal marking of different types of works, texts, photos, publications, graphics, videos, innovations, patents, etc. made by artificial intelligence and not by humans, i.e. works whose legal, ethical, moral, business, security qualification .... etc. should be different for what is the product of artificial intelligence?

The fourth technological revolution currently underway is characterised by rapidly advancing ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, including but not limited to machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, ... what's next? Intelligent thinking autonomous robots?
The fourth technological revolution currently underway is characterised by rapidly advancing ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, including but not limited to technologies learning machines, deep learning, artificial intelligence. Machine learning, machine learning, machine self-learning or machine learning systems are all synonymous terms relating to the field of artificial intelligence with a particular focus on algorithms that can improve themselves, improving automatically through the action of an experience factor within exposure to large data sets. Algorithms operating within the framework of machine learning build a mathematical model of data processing from sample data, called a learning set, in order to make predictions or decisions without being programmed explicitely by a human to do so. Machine learning algorithms are used in a wide variety of applications, such as spam protection, i.e. filtering internet messages for unwanted correspondence, or image recognition, where it is difficult or infeasible to develop conventional algorithms to perform the needed tasks. Deep learning is a kind of subcategory of machine learning, which involves the creation of deep neural networks, i.e. networks with multiple levels of neurons. Deep learning techniques are designed to improve, among other things, automatic speech processing, image recognition and natural language processing. The structure of deep neural networks consists of multiple layers of artificial neurons. Simple neural networks can be designed manually so that a specific layer detects specific features and performs specific data processing, while learning consists of setting appropriate weights, significance levels, value system for components of specific issues defined on the basis of processing and learning from large amounts of data. In large neural networks, the deep learning process is automated and self-contained to a certain extent. In this situation, the network is not designed to detect specific features, but detects them on the basis of the processing of appropriately labelled data sets. Both such datasets and the operation of neural networks themselves should be prepared by specialists, but the features are already detected by the programme itself. Therefore, large amounts of data can be processed and the network can automatically learn higher-level feature representations, which means that they can detect complex patterns in the input data. In view of the above, deep learning systems are built on Big Data Analytics platforms built in such a way that the deep learning process is performed on a sufficiently large amount of data. Artificial intelligence, denoted by the acronym AI (artificial intelligence), is respectively the 'intelligent', multi-criteria, advanced, automated processing of complex, large amounts of data carried out in a way that alludes to certain characteristics of human intelligence exhibited by thought processes. As such, it is the intelligence exhibited by artificial devices, including certain advanced ICT and Industry 4.0 information technology systems and devices equipped with these technological solutions. The concept of artificial intelligence is contrasted with the concept of natural intelligence, i.e. that which pertains to humans. In view of the above, artificial intelligence thus has two basic meanings. On the one hand, it is a hypothetical intelligence realised through a technical rather than a natural process. On the other hand, it is the name of a technology and a research field of computer science and cognitive science that also draws on the achievements of psychology, neurology, mathematics and philosophy. In computer science and cognitive science, artificial intelligence also refers to the creation of models and programmes that simulate at least partially intelligent behaviour. Artificial intelligence is also considered in the field of philosophy, within which a theory is developed concerning the philosophy of artificial intelligence. In addition, artificial intelligence is also a subject of interest in the social sciences. The main task of research and development work on the development of artificial intelligence technology and its new applications is the construction of machines and computer programmes capable of performing selected functions analogously to those performed by the human mind functioning with the human senses, including processes that do not lend themselves to numerical algorithmisation. Such problems are sometimes referred to as AI-difficult and include such processes as decision-making in the absence of all data, analysis and synthesis of natural languages, logical reasoning also referred to as rational reasoning, automatic proof of assertions, computer logic games e.g. chess, intelligent robots, expert and diagnostic systems, among others. Artificial intelligence can be developed and improved by integrating it with the areas of machine learning, fuzzy logic, computer vision, evolutionary computing, neural networks, robotics and artificial life. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been developing rapidly in recent years, which is determined by its combination with other Industry 4.0 technologies, the use of microprocessors, digital machines and computing devices characterised by their ever-increasing capacity for multi-criteria processing of ever-increasing amounts of data, and the emergence of new fields of application. Recently, the development of artificial intelligence has become a topic of discussion in various media due to the open-access, automated and AI-enabled solution ChatGPT, with which Internet users can have a kind of conversation. The solution is based and learns from a collection of large amounts of data extracted in 2021 from specific data and information resources on the Internet. The development of artificial intelligence applications is so rapid that it is ahead of the process of adapting regulations to the situation. The new applications being developed do not always generate exclusively positive impacts. These potentially negative effects include the potential for the generation of disinformation on the Internet, information crafted using artificial intelligence, not in line with the facts and disseminated on social media sites. This raises a number of questions regarding the development of artificial intelligence and its new applications, the possibilities that will arise in the future under the next generation of artificial intelligence, the possibility of teaching artificial intelligence to think, i.e. to realise artificial thought processes in a manner analogous or similar to the thought processes realised in the human mind.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
The fourth technological revolution currently taking place is characterised by rapidly advancing ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, including but not limited to machine learning technologies, deep learning, artificial intelligence, .... what's next?

Since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, many governments and private organizations allocated large sums of money to fund projects dealing with various areas related to this virus. The vaccine is the most prominent area but detection, caring and monitoring of the patients revealed that the current medical equipment is not adequate and sufficient. Are these funding going to lead to invention or innovation? have you seen any report of innovation in medical technology in your community?
What kinds of problems did healthcare workers experience using protective equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak?
What kind of problems did the healthcare professionals experience regarding the supply of materials during the treatment and care of the patient during the covid-19 outbreak?
Have nurses used innovative practices in care? Could you share the innovation examples in nursing used in this process?
During the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses working in a hospital setting may be physically, mentally, socially, ethically, etc. what kind of problems does he have?
We need your scientific research and help with the answers to these questions in order to share them with healthcare nurses.
Hi all,
Can you tell us how COVID 19 has triggered most of the innovative processes in the public and private sectors during this period of uncertainty? and from the non-profit sector? in your country?
Imagine the situation that a new different but much more perfect version of something similar to ChatGPT is built, for which each person can ask only one question, what would that question sound like?
In the current era of rapidly developing information technology, the technology of Industry 4. 0, the era of the fourth or perhaps already fifth technological revolution, in the situation of rapidly developing artificial intelligence technologies, building more and more perfect robots and androids, which, equipped with artificial intelligence, can perform a variety of activities until recently performed only by humans and until recently widely recognized as such, which only humans can perform, many new concepts are emerging, full of admiration for the modern technology of new applications of artificial intelligence, but also many new or well-known for many years but now growing in importance concerns about the development of artificial intelligence, including concerns about the consideration of the possibility in the future that the development of artificial intelligence will escape human control. In the context of, on the one hand, admiration and, on the other hand, concerns about the effects and directions of artificial intelligence development in the future, new intriguing questions are emerging. New questions, which, having the character of intriguing questions, activating creative reflection, motivating critical thinking, play a special role in the development of science. For example, this kind of question:
Imagine the situation that a new different but much more perfect version of something similar to ChatGPT is built, for which each person can ask only one question, what would this question be like?
Does this question have such a character, does it activate creative reflection, does it motivate critical thinking? I hope it does.
Please give an example of a question you would ask for a built new much more perfect version of something similar to ChatGPT, for which each person could ask only one question.
Please answer,
Thank you very much,

I have been experimenting with machine learning in JavaScript, please, let me know also your experience! 😎🤗😍
In attachment a preprint!
New ideas, new concepts in science and art arise as a result of human creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence, the need for self-realization, the need to be appreciated by other people.
These are the values at the very top of Maslov's pyramid. Human higher needs arose through the evolution of human consciousness and intelligence under conditions of multi-generational development of sociobiological and psychosocial determinants.
On the other hand, artificial intelligence is being developed, which will probably be used in various fields of technological information services, including multi-criteria, based on complex data processing algorithms.
In view of the above, the current question is: Can innovations be or can be created by artificial intelligence or only by man?
Please, answer, comments.
I invite you to the discussion.

My Organization implemented a formal innovation process two years ago, but unfortunately, only a few colleagues have participated in our innovation lab, with ideas for new services or new processes.
The critical point is our innovation culture, how to assess it, and how to act on the specific areas that will make a difference and will change our innovation culture in the near future
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies?
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies in a developing country where various new technologies are being developed but to date there are no high-tech chip manufacturing companies?
What type, what category of capital should a developing country have in order to be able to build its, nationally, a kind of new 'Silicon Valley', in which companies developing new technologies and basing their business models on new, highly advanced ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 will function effectively?
Among the various factors of technological and developmental advantage of individual countries in terms of international comparisons, the possession of advanced technologies, including biotechnology, green energy technologies but also new ICT information technologies and technologies typical of the current fourth technological revolution, Industry 4.0 technologies, stands out. The possession of these technologies determines the possibilities for the development of many industries, including the manufacture of products that are increasingly produced as highly technological products equipped with, for example, microchips.
Microchips are no longer used only in computers, laptops, PDAs, tablets, smartphones, supercomputers built in research centres and further types of highly technological products, but also in white goods, consumer electronics, TV, motor vehicles, including cars, aircraft, military equipment, etc. and, more recently, in systems based on artificial intelligence being built and developed. Microchip production is associated with certain determinants for the development of other economic sectors as well. The production of microchips is a highly energy-intensive process. Therefore, it is also necessary to develop new, renewable and emission-free energy sources to supply electricity to, among other things, microchip production processes.
Currently, there are aspirations and research in many countries to identify opportunities for the development of advanced ICT and/or to create the conditions for the creation of a kind of next "Silicon Valley", including microchip manufacturing companies. As in the case of other industries, so in the case of new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, the key factors determining the possibility of building new companies producing advanced microchips include such basic categories of capital as financial capital, possession of research and development centres, science centres generating also the intellectual capital of the staff of employees, possession of modern lines and machine parks produced mainly by domestic industries, generating technological and production capital, with which industrial plants and companies included in technological sectors are equipped. However, this is not all that is required to build a thriving sort of new, next "Silicon Valley" and to be able to be at the forefront of the new ICT information technologies, Prezmysł 4.0, including the production of highly technological microchips. Perhaps among the mentioned key determinants of the development of technology companies are new specific business models, new styles of management, personnel management and motivation to create technological innovations. In addition, perhaps the key factors determining the development of technology companies should also include a highly economically efficient mix of flexible pro-development economic policies, including policies to support the development of science, scientific research, the development of research and development centres, policies to develop innovation; systemically developed highly efficient corruption-free financial support programmes from the state's public finance system; a friendly economic policy for the development of innovative startups; modern ownership models and shareholding structures of technology companies, research institutes and research and development centres, etc.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What type, what category of capital should a developing country have in order to be able to build its, nationally, a kind of new "Silicon Valley" in which companies developing new technologies and basing their business models on new, highly advanced ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 will function effectively?
What are the key factors determining the feasibility of building new modern microchip manufacturing companies in a developing country where various new technologies are being developed but modern microchip manufacturing companies do not exist to date?
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies?
What are the key determinants of the development of highly technological industries?

Can anyone help me how to get the results for Random effect model?
How can machine learning technology, deep learning and a specific generation of artificial intelligence applied to Big Data Analytics platforms help in the processes of managing the effective operation and growth of an innovative startup?
How should a system architecture built from modules incorporating implemented machine learning, deep learning and specific generation artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies be designed to assist in the improvement of computerised Business Intelligence analytics platforms and thus in the processes of managing the effective operation and development of a commercially operating innovative startup?
The development of innovation and entrepreneurship, including the effective development of innovative startups using new technologies in business, is among the key determinants of a country's economic development. Among the important factors supporting the development of innovativeness and entrepreneurship, apart from system facilitations, a favourable tax system, low interest rates on investment loans, available non-refundable financial subsidies, there is also the issue of the possibility of implementing new technologies, including Industry 4. 0, including, but not limited to, technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and Big Data Analytics, Internet of Things, digital twins, multi-criteria simulation models, cloud computing, robots, horizontal and vertical data system integration, additive manufacturing, Blockchain, smart technologies, etc., can be helpful in the process of improving the management of economic entities, including service companies, manufacturing enterprises and innovative start-ups. These information technologies and Industry 4.0 can also help to improve Business Intelligence used in business management. The key issue is the proper combination of applied Industry 4.0 technologies to create computerised platforms supporting the processes of managing both the current, operational functioning of economic entities and in the processes of forecasting the determinants of the development of companies and enterprises, in the creation of forecasting models of simulation of development for a specific economic entity, which may also be an innovative start-up. In recent years, attempts have been made in larger business entities, corporations, financial institutions, including commercial banks, to create computerised Business Intelligence analytical platforms improved through a combination of applied technologies such as machine learning, deep learning and a specific generation of artificial intelligence applied to Big Data Analytics platforms. Such processes for improving Business Intelligence analytical platforms are carried out in order to support the management of the effective operation and development of a commercially operating specific business entity. Therefore, in a situation where specific financial resources are available to create analogous Business Intelligence analytical platforms, it is possible to apply an analogous solution to support the management of the effective operation and development of a commercially functioning specific innovative start-up.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How can machine learning technology, deep learning and a specific generation of artificial intelligence applied to Big Data Analytics platforms help in the processes of managing the effective operation and development of an innovative startup?
How should a system architecture built from modules containing implemented machine learning technology, deep learning and a specific generation of artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies be designed to assist in the improvement of computerised Business Intelligence analytics platforms and thus in the processes of managing the effective operation and development of a commercially operating innovative startup?

What are the applications of digital twins in conjunction with artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies in creating simulations of digital models of complex macroprocesses?
The technology of digital twins is used, among other things, to simulate production, logistics processes in business entities, i.e. in the microeconomic field. The creation of digital twins for specific economic and financial processes carried out in economic entities supports the management of these entities. Computer simulations of e.g. production processes, offering of services, supply and procurement logistics, distribution logistics, marketing communication with customers, etc. save time and money, as possible errors in decisions generate much smaller negative effects if they are realised not within the framework of real processes and a kind of experimentation on a functioning enterprise, company, corporation, institution, etc., but within the framework of computer simulation. but within the framework of a computer simulation in which various alternative variants of the development of the economic and financial situation of a company are considered and compared with each other as forecasts of specific processes defined for the following days, weeks, months, quarters or years. Therefore, since the pandemic, many companies and enterprises in Poland have been investing in the creation of IT systems equipped with digital twin technologies, within which it is possible to create multi-criteria, multi-faceted, complex simulation models of specific economic and other processes realised within the company, and/or simulation of processes realised at the level of the company's relations with the environment, with business partners, customers, cooperators, etc.
On the other hand, the possibilities of creating simulations for macroprocesses, i.e. e.g. macroeconomic processes, natural processes, technological processes, geological processes, social processes, long-term climate change, cosmological processes, etc., through the use of digital twin technologies and also other Industry 4.0 technologies, including learning machines, deep learning, artificial intelligence, analytics carried out on Big Data Analytics platforms, are a matter of debate. Year on year, due to technological advances in ICT, including the use of new generations of microprocessors characterised by ever-increasing computing power, the possibilities for increasingly efficient, multi-criteria processing of large collections of data and information are growing. Artificial intelligence can be particularly useful in the field of selective and precise search for specific, defined types of information and data extracted from many selected types of websites and real-time transfer and processing of these data in database systems organised in cloud computing on Big Data Analytics platforms, which would be accessed by a system managing a built and updated model of a specific macro-process using digital twin technologies.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the applications of digital twins in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies for creating simulated digital models of complex macroprocesses?

How can cryptocurrency trading be formalised, institutionalised and made more secure?
How to build formalised and high-security transaction institutionalised cryptocurrency trading markets?
In recent years, many technology startups have based their growth and competitive advantage on business, technological, product, service, marketing or other innovations. Banks are reluctant to provide investment loans to emerging startups basing their growth on innovative technologies. In such a situation, innovative startups emerge and are financed through such external sources of funding as investment funds, business angels, securities issuance, crowdfunding and others. Crowdfunding will develop intensively in the future as an alternative to classic forms of external financing for business ventures. It is an alternative to the financial service offerings of financial sector institutions, particularly in the segment of financing innovative start-ups. Commercial banks operating within the framework of classic deposit and credit banking often avoid lending to innovative start-ups due to difficulties in assessing credit risk. In such a situation, crowdfunding can be a good solution to the problems of finding external funding. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies, which operate outside institutionalised and centralised financial systems, are growing in importance. Perhaps in the future, cryptocurrencies will displace traditional currency from online financial transactions between fintechs, financial institutions, innovative start-ups, online technology companies running social media portals and their customers, and between users of these online portals. In addition to this, it is becoming essential to improve the security of online financial transactions and settlements carried out through online mobile banking. In this connection, blockchain technology is developing as an application for securing online transactions and data transfer. An increasing number of large companies are announcing the creation of their own cryptocurrency. Some investment banks such as JP Morgan have announced the creation of their own cryptocurrency for settlements with key counterparties. The development and implementation of ICT information technologies, advanced data processing technologies Industry 4.0 and Internet technologies into the business activities of companies and enterprises facilitates the execution of financial operations on the Internet and ensures a high level of security of Internet data transfer. The development of technological innovations, ICT information technologies, advanced information processing technologies co-creating the current technological revolution Industry 4.0, financing through crowdfunding, securing online transactions with blockchain technology, the increase in the use of cryptocurrencies in these settlements, etc. are likely to be important determinants of the development of innovative, technological start-ups operating on the Internet and factors in the development of the knowledge economy in the years to come. Consequently, the development of open innovation is correlated with the issue of innovation and entrepreneurship development in the economy. A significant proportion of innovative startups develop their business model based on open innovation. On the other hand, in macroeconomic terms, the development of open innovation can be an important determinant of economic development in developing countries and in developed knowledge-based economies. In view of the above, research shows that the spread of open innovation and open knowledge bases is an important issue for building a sustainable economy in a technologically developed and developing country. A number of predictive studies show that cryptocurrencies will grow in importance in the future in financing various transactions and settlements carried out electronically, through the Internet, on social media, in investment banking, etc. Currently, many technology startups base their growth and competitive advantage on technological, product, service, marketing or other innovations. However, in order for the financing of new business ventures, innovative startups to develop using cryptocurrencies it is necessary to increase the scale of systemic formalisation and institutionalisation of transactions carried out using cryptocurrencies, to build formalised cryptocurrency markets and to increase the security of transactions carried out using cryptocurrencies in the future.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can the planned taxation of cryptocurrency transactions be a first step for increasing the scale of systemic formalisation and institutionalisation of cryptocurrency transactions, building formalised cryptocurrency markets and increasing the future security of cryptocurrency transactions?
How to build formalised and highly secure transaction institutionalised cryptocurrency trading markets?
How can cryptocurrency transactions be formalised, institutionalised and made more secure?

How can corruption in the national system of awarding non-refundable financial grants for innovative business ventures undermine the development of innovation and science?
In what way can corruption in the national system of granting non-refundable financial subsidies from the public finance system for innovative business ventures be an important element in the decline of the credibility of key public institutions supporting cooperation between business and science, a decline in the level of innovation in the economy, a decline in the effectiveness of the implementation of innovative solutions and patents created during research work, a weakening of the development of national science?
An important factor for the effective economic development of the country is the development of innovativeness, including the creation of new, innovative technologies and their implementation and development in business applications. Important factors for the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship in the economy include efficiently and reliably functioning systems of financial subsidies la innovative startups and companies and enterprises implementing and developing new, innovative technologies in business applications. However, when this system is flawed, does not function efficiently and reliably, is permeated with corruption and the extortion of funds from the state's public finance system, then the process of activating innovation and entrepreneurship in the economy does not work. This is particularly relevant in a paradise where investment banking is underdeveloped and, as a result, the development of innovative startups is, outside of grants from the national public finance system and outside of financial grants from the European Union, financed mainly on the basis of family loans, equity financing provided by business angels, specialised investment funds and crowdfunding available on the Internet. These are therefore not great opportunities to finance the development of innovative startups in a situation where commercial banks avoid lending to this type of entity. Commercial banks are unlikely to grant loans to finance the development of an innovative startup because they assess the credit risk as high for this type of business venture or they are also unable to precisely quantify the credit risk for startups that plan to implement and develop new, innovative technologies. In such a situation, a system of non-repayable financial subsidies coming from the public finance system and distributed systemically to such ventures can be of great help in activating the development of innovation and entrepreneurship. In order for this kind of system of distributing grants for innovative projects to work efficiently and effectively, the process of distributing funds under this kind of non-returnable grant schemes should be conducted in the form of competitions, during which genuinely innovative technological solutions should be selected. The competitions should be carried out taking into account the real expertise in innovation, reliable processes of analysis and evaluation of the level of innovation and determination of the level of usefulness, possibilities of practical applications, improvement of the effectiveness of economic processes, improvement of the level of profitability, obtaining specific positive effects of applying new innovations in a company or enterprise, etc. It is also necessary to carry out a number of market studies and analysis of the demand in specific markets, in specific spheres of economic activity, the demand from specific types of economic entities and/or citizens for products and services that will be created by the implementation and development in business of specific new innovative technologies. However, when corruption, including embezzlement of public money, occurs in this system of distributing financial subsidies then the whole system does not work effectively. When corruption occurs in public institutions distributing financial subsidies then the process of activating innovation and entrepreneurship does not work effectively. In view of the above, corruption in the national system of awarding financial grants from European Union funds for innovative business ventures may be an important element of a decrease in the credibility of key public institutions supporting cooperation between business and science, a decrease in the level of innovation in the economy, a decrease in the effectiveness of implementation of innovative solutions and patents created during research work, a weakening of the development of national science. In the country in which I operate, further cases of this type of corruption have been detected, which has been taking place in the National Centre for Research and Development, i.e. in the institution that distributes European Union financial grants to innovative start-ups and companies and enterprises implementing and developing new, innovative technologies in business applications.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
In what way can corruption in the national system of granting non-refundable financial subsidies from the public finance system for innovative business ventures be an important element in the decline of the credibility of key public institutions supporting cooperation between business and science, a decline in the level of innovation in the economy, a decline in the effectiveness of the implementation of innovative solutions and patents created during research work, a weakening of the development of national science?

How can the implementation of artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies help in the process of automated generation of marketing innovations applied on online social media sites?
In recent years, the application of new Industry 4.0 technologies in the process of generating marketing innovations applied to online social media portals has been on the rise. For the purpose of improving marketing communication processes, including advertising campaigns conducted on social media portals and promoting specific individuals, brands of companies, institutions, their product offers, services, etc., sentiment analysis of Internet users' activity in social media is conducted, including analysis of changes in social opinion trends, general social awareness of citizens by verifying the content of banners, posts, entries, comments, etc. entered by Internet users in social media using computerised, analytical Big Data Analytics platforms. I have described this issue in my articles following their publication on my profile of this Research Gate portal. I invite you to collaborate with me on team research projects conducted in this area. Currently, an important developmental issue is also the application of Big Data Analytics platforms used to analyse the sentiment of Internet user activity in social media, which uses new technologies of Industry 4.0, including, among others, artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, etc. Besides, the implementation of artificial intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies can help in the process of automated generation of marketing innovations applied on online social media portals. An important issue in this topic is the proper construction of a computerised platform for the automated generation of marketing innovations applied on online social media portals, in which the new generations of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics and other Industry 4.0 technologies are used.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Can ChatGPT be helpful to computer scientists in programming and creating new applications, complex models based on multi-criteria algorithms and computer science formulas?
When ChatGPT recently became a media topic it became apparent that, on the one hand, it can be useful for creating simple texts based on prior knowledge downloaded from the Internet but, on the other hand, in those written by this artificial intelligence technology, the written texts may contain factual errors and content that is not factually correct. This is because the texts generated by ChatGPT are created as if in a free-form creative manner by combining different elements of content from many different source texts existing on the Internet and in 2021 downloaded from the Internet and constituting the knowledge base on which ChatGPT operates. However, in terms of generating formulas, algorithms, models created during programming, ChatGPT can be helpful in terms of finding specific programming formulas as answers to the questions asked. In this way, within the process of asking successive specific questions and obtaining answers, it is possible to build complex, multi-faceted models that form the software of specific applications and computer programmes.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can ChatGPT be helpful to computer scientists in programming and creating new applications, complex models based on multi-criteria algorithms and computer science formulas?

In your opinion, is creativity and innovation important in conducting scientific research?
It is a widely held opinion that creativity and innovation is important in various aspects of people's lives, in many different spheres of human activity.
Creativity and innovation is also important in many spheres of professional activities carried out in different sectors of the economy, in different professional positions and professions of work performed. In addition, creativity and innovation is particularly important in the arts, in the creation of works of art within various fields of art. Creativity and innovation is, in its essence, a key factor in the arts. Creativity and innovativeness is also important in business, in the management of business entities, in the establishment of startups, in the creation of new technological solutions, new technologies, product and other innovations, in the creation of inventions, and so on.

When will large passenger drones powered by hydrogen engines and controlled by artificial intelligence be developed, mass produced and available to the public?
As part of the rapid technological progress that is taking place, new technological solutions, innovations and patents are being developed for use in various sectors of the economy and are improving manufacturing, production and service processes. On the other hand, due to the progressing process of global warming, the growing scale of natural resources consumption, the necessity to accelerate the processes of achieving the goals of sustainable development, the processes of green transformation of the economy, achieving the goals of environmental and climate policy, increasing the scale of protection of the planet's biosphere, biodiversity and climate, the demand for new eco-innovations and green technologies is growing. In the situation of combining new information technologies and Industry 4.0 with eco-innovations and green technologies, new opportunities arise for the application of new integrated, complex technological solutions and for increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of sustainable development goals and carrying out processes of green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of the energy sector. The green transformation of the energy sector is mainly implemented through the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. In addition, as part of the implementation of the plan to create a zero-carbon economy, it is also necessary to carry out a green transformation of the transport sector and this in all transport segments, i.e. land, water and air transport. As part of the green transformation of the air transport sector, new technological solutions are being developed to enable the use of engines to power aircraft based on solar energy or generated by burning hydrogen in oxygen. The future of powering large transport, passenger and space aircraft is hydrogen power. On the other hand, increasingly large drones are also being built, which are currently powered by electric motors that draw on electricity stored in batteries that need to be recharged. However, this may change in the future. With the combination of new technologies already being developed and tested in aviation, it will be possible to build, for example, large personal drones powered by hydrogen engines and controlled by artificial intelligence, so that they can be flown using autonomous automatic control, i.e. autopilot. In a hydrogen-powered situation, these would also be fully zero-emission, pro-climate and pro-environmental aircraft that could fly at low altitudes. This would greatly facilitate local transport over non-long distances, both passenger and freight. Such improvements in local air transport would be particularly important in areas where there are no airports, where there is no well-developed second-hand network and where, at the same time, people live in settlements far from large cities, in remote villages and small towns and in areas of strict nature conservation without the possibility of using vehicles with combustion engines.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
When will large personal drones powered by hydrogen engines and controlled by artificial intelligence be developed, mass produced and available to citizens?

AI to recognize cardiac arrhythmias like by using thermoscanner and other physiological sensors. New way and new product without the classic electrodes.
What are the new eco-innovations and green technologies that, if implemented on a large scale, would significantly mitigate the negative impacts of the current energy crisis?
Many new eco-innovations and green technologies have still not left the research laboratories, they are still in the research and testing, prototype phase. The current energy crisis should motivate both government agencies of ministries managing the energy sector and commercially operating companies and enterprises in the energy sector to subsidise the ongoing research work, conducted in research and development institutions on the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies. The current energy crisis is characterised by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the increasing scale of energy shortages. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. Another and perhaps more sensible solution to support citizens and businesses to survive the energy crisis would be to increase subsidies to R&D and scientific institutions in whose laboratories new eco-innovations and energy technologies are developed. This raises the question of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy and other technologies being created now, what kind of R&D should be subsidised now?
The creation of what kinds of eco-innovations and green technologies should now be subsidised?
What are the new eco-innovations and green technologies whose funding of large-scale implementation programmes could mitigate the negative effects of the energy crisis?

What are the new eco-innovations and green energy technologies that can be implemented by citizens in the upcoming heating season in homes and apartments to reduce heating and electricity supply costs?
In the context of the current energy crisis, there is a growing demand for the creation and industrial-scale implementation of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies that would help citizens and businesses survive the currently unfolding energy crisis. The current energy crisis is characterized by rapidly rising fuel and energy prices and the growing scale of energy shortages. Rising energy and fossil fuel prices are one of the key factors in the acceleration of inflation, which has already begun to rise almost as early as early 2021. In some countries, the government is offering subsidies for the purchase of more expensive fuels and energy. However, this creates another pro-inflationary factor. In view of the above, the creation and implementation of what kind of new eco-innovations and green energy technologies should be covered by interventionist government subsidy programs (purchase of certain types of power, energy sources, e.g. to install photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building, etc.) and subsidies (preparation of homes, buildings, businesses, e.g. insulation of building facades, etc.)?
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
What are the new eco-innovations and green energy technologies that can be implemented by citizens in the coming heating season in homes and apartments to reduce heating and electricity supply costs?
What are the new eco-innovations and green energy technologies for which government financial support programs should be launched so that all willing citizens can implement them in their homes and better prepare for the energy crisis?

How do local government units in your country inspire citizens to save electricity and/or heat, conserve water sparingly, segregate waste, and other pro-environmental daily practices and actions?
How do local government units, including municipalities, as part of their pro-environmental and pro-climate policies, inspire citizens to save electricity and/or heat, conserve water sparingly, segregate waste and other pro-environmental, everyday practices and actions?
There have been many different crises since the beginning of the 21st century, and there is little indication that this would change in the years to come. The dotcom crisis at the turn of the 20th/XXI century, the global financial crisis of 2007-2009, the global recession of the 2020 economy triggered by interventionist measures carried out during the 1st wave of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the overly lenient monetary policy carried out during the pandemic, the strong rise in inflation and the risk of stagflation in 2020, the currently developing energy crisis, the currently developing food crisis in some poorer countries, the already ongoing climate crisis that will intensify in the coming decades. As the levels of various risks increase, the scales and frequency of various crises increase, more and more public institutions, government agencies, NGOs but also local government units are taking various anti-crisis measures. Currently, the currently developing crises in many countries are: the economic downturn caused by high inflation; the energy crisis caused by high fuel and energy prices and low levels of energy self-sufficiency and underdevelopment of renewable energy sources; the climate crisis (and in some countries also the food crisis), the consequences of which include severe heat and droughts causing a decline in the production of agricultural crops, increased energy consumption and other negative effects. The climate crisis is likely to develop for many more years. In some countries, due to the low level of energy self-sufficiency, the low level of development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources, the scale of the currently developing energy crisis is greater and in the future, the negative effects of the climate crisis may also be more severe for nature and humans. Accordingly, local government units are also inspiring citizens to use water sparingly, save energy, segregate waste and other pro-environmental daily practices and actions. However, there are big differences in this regard when comparing environmental and pro-environmental policies and realistically carried out pro-environmental activities and green projects by individual local government units.
In view of the above, I address the following research question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
How do local government units, including municipalities, within the framework of their pro-environmental and pro-climate policies, inspire citizens to save electricity and/or heat, conserve water, segregate waste and other pro-environmental daily practices and actions?

What are examples of social ecological entrepreneurship undertaken from the bottom up, implemented from the bottom up by the local community of your region, city district, urban agglomeration, village?
Within the framework of social ecological entrepreneurship, citizens can, for example, run home vegetable and fruit gardens, flower gardens, flower meadows under the formula of sustainable organic farming. Besides, citizens within the framework of social ecological entrepreneurship can set up small-scale home electric and/or thermal power plants based on certain types of renewable and/or emission-free energy. Besides, conducted social clean-up campaigns in city parks and forests; donating used electronic equipment, consumer electronics, household appliances, etc. to electro-waste collection points; setting up associations and other organizations implementing periodic events, picnics, festivals, etc., aimed at pro-environmental and pro-climate education of citizens. From the bottom up, citizens' ventures in social ecological entrepreneurship can be an important part of the green transformation of the economy and the realization of sustainable development goals. Besides, local governments are also increasingly taking measures to support the activity of citizens within the framework of social ecological entrepreneurship. Projects implemented within the framework of the participatory budget (1 percent of the local government's budget) can be implemented projects proposed by residents, which can be part of the current trends of pro-environmental, pro-climate, green transformation of the economy, in the green transformation of the local government and/or municipal economy and the realization of sustainable development goals. The civic activity of municipal residents can also be carried out within the framework of social ecological entrepreneurship through activities implemented socially by citizens on the basis of an agreement with the local government. Many times, many small activities carried out by citizens within the framework of social ecological entrepreneurship can produce more positive effects than short-term, few larger projects carried out by large business entities.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
What are the examples of social ecological entrepreneurship undertaken from below by the local community of your region, city district, urban agglomeration, village?

What are the currently created eco-innovations and implemented green technologies for the utilization of used photovoltaic panels?
One of the important factors limiting the development of solar energy may be the still existing lack of eco-innovations and green technologies for the utilization of used photovoltaic panels, implemented on an industrial scale. In many countries, many new photovoltaic panels are currently being installed on buildings. The current energy crisis may additionally accelerate the development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources. However, for a few, a dozen or a max. Several dozen years, millions, and globally billions of photovoltaic panels will be dismantled due to wear and tear and should be disposed of, not landfilled. This is an important issue taking into account the potential contamination of the natural environment with toxic substances contained in photovoltaic panels.
In view of the above, I would like to address the following question to the Distinguished Community of Researchers and Scientists:
What are the currently created eco-innovations and implemented green technologies for the utilization of used photovoltaic panels?
What innovative technologies for utilization of photovoltaic panels are currently working on by scientists and researchers in laboratories, which can become new eco-innovations and green technologies and can be implemented on an industrial scale?
What new eco-innovations and green technologies can solve the problem of recycling used photovoltaic panels in the future?

Will green cryptocurrencies be created with which new, pro-environmental and pro-climate, green economic ventures will be financed?
Is this a purely futurological vision or is it already feasible?
Green cryptocurrencies should be developed according to new eco-innovative technologies, so that their creation, digging will use much less electricity than today. Currently, digging cryptocurrencies still uses as much energy as a medium-sized country on a global scale. The issue of saving electricity consumption is particularly relevant in the context of the current energy crisis and, in the future, also in the context of a multi-year developing climate crisis. Therefore, green cryptocurrencies, which will be used to finance new pro-environmental and pro-climate green business ventures, should also be created using many times less electricity than at present in order to be green in themselves.
In what direction will the development of green cryptocurrencies develop? Will green cryptocurrencies be used to finance new pro-environmental and pro-climate green business ventures or will green cryptocurrencies be cryptocurrencies that are mined using significantly less electricity than at present?
Or perhaps both? This would be best for the environment, the climate and the planet's biosphere.
In view of the above, I address the following questions to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:
Will green cryptocurrencies be created with which to finance new environmentally and climate-friendly green economic ventures?

What is the role of local government units in terms of activating entrepreneurship and innovation, in terms of developing cooperation with local business, supporting the development of cooperation and clusters of companies cooperating with other entities, stimulating economic development in the municipal area, in the region?
In the context of the forecast decline in the economic activity of companies and enterprises in the coming quarters, the projected downturn in the national and regional economy, the decline in production and investment, the increase in unemployment and the current economic problems associated with high inflation, the importance of activating entrepreneurship and innovation of economic entities is growing. Within the framework of the interventionist, anti-crisis, Keynesian socio-economic policy, the government and central government agencies carry out programmes to activate entrepreneurship and innovativeness of economic entities, including companies and enterprises of the SME sector using specific financial instruments of fiscal, budgetary, sectoral policies, etc. On the other hand, a particularly important role in the activation of entrepreneurship and innovativeness of business entities of the SME sector operating in the area of the local economy of the municipality is also played by local government units. Local self-governments play an important role in terms of activating entrepreneurship and innovation, in terms of developing cooperation with local business, supporting the development of cooperation and clusters of companies cooperating with other entities, stimulating economic development in the area of the municipality, in the region. Effectively and efficiently conducted by local governments in this regard can significantly reduce the scale of downturn development in the local economy. When many units of local self-government efficiently activate economic processes, entrepreneurship and innovativeness, then the whole national economy goes through an economic crisis, recession, downturn more smoothly. As a result, the scale of the increase in unemployment and economic downturn is lower.

Agriculture is known to provide various innovations from time -to -time , but in the process , we sometimes land in no man's land, and often try to take agriculture to backfoot so miserably in mad rush for improvement . Like that , there is one concept called Zero Budget Natural Farming , dont know , what is the base to advocate this concept, often under the garb of Organic Farming , though both are quite different concepts and work on entirely different premises. Here are some clarifications requested to our collagues for their responses :
* What is the working premise of zero budget natural farming ?
* What is the need of advocating such concept of farming amidst conventional farming?
* Are we not in a position to sustain the current trend of sustainability agriculture and need to bring such concept having hardly any scientific base?
* Has this concept been ever evaluated in a scientific and time frame manner?
* How do you see the future of zero budget farming ?
* Can it be conceptually sustainable?

Activation of entrepreneurship and innovation is essential for effective socio-economic development of the national economy.
Failure in entrepreneurship in the context of entire markets, sectors, the whole society, the entire economy is a negative effect of taking risks in the situation of starting a business and running a business.
This is the price of few, spectacular business successes. Therefore, it should not be reduced due to the existence of investment risk. Investment risk should be examined, analyzed, measured and hedged, for example, in the form of maintaining established, estimated financial provisions for the situation of potential loss of financial liquidity. An entrepreneur should take risks, accept a certain level of investment risk, measured and hedged risk.
Entrepreneurship should be supported by both public sector institutions and through private investment funds that finance the development of innovative startups. In modern knowledge-based economies, the state through central and through local government public institutions should support the development of entrepreneurship and innovation.
In view of the above, the current question is: Should the state support the development of entrepreneurship and innovation?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.
How can we measure these capabilities by looking at innovation as a process, not an outcome?
I have recently begun reviewing the literature on the question of how human societies/cultures influence individual as well as collective innovative behaviour. Since there exists some work on this subject and many different approaches, I wanted to ask for recommendations: What are the must-reads?
Logistics seeks both to address real-world problems and research questions and to unite terminological, conceptual and methodological research aspects. In the last 20 years, biological research has developed extremely powerful methods and tools for fundamental and applied research. There is furthermore an increasing desire to build integrative research platforms that combine interdisciplinary and multi-level data to the structural complexity of biological systems. How much attention do you give to logistics for your research plans? Do you think logistics supports research methods, innovation, quality, value, and impact as well as training and participation opportunities for students as well as for practitioners? If so how and if not why not.

Schumpeters theory of "creative destruction" states that capitalism is never static, it is always evolving and old products are replaced by new ones. There is however a lag, or overlap where the old product still exist and people cintinue to invest in its development , but also at the same time a development of newer and better products.A prime example is the issue of type writers that was evolving even though computers started to overtake typewriters in sales and even as computers became the dominant product. Some as a well known Swedish manufacturer named Facit invested so heavily and could not see what was happening that they didnt seek to develop new and different products. In some cases governments are seeking to protect the old by regulation or other supportive meassures. One example of this is the use of fossile fuel in the US. Something critics fear will prevent the development of greener and more effective sources of energy. My question is, should governments like this support industries for the sake of employment or other reasons, or should Darwinism take its course? Is the developlent of new products always a good thing? Maybe we will have a rise of the Maschines and Terminators roaming the streets, or perhaps the development of new techlologies is a good thing in most cases and should not be hindered. What are your thoughts? The word is free!

In Pharmaceutical professional fields such as Regulatory Affairs or Product Development it is of much importance to know the innovator of a product for obvious reasons. But it is not a very simple task using commonly used search engines. I was wondering if any one has a better way to search for them, like a data bank or something.

Can the activation of innovation and entrepreneurship be an important factor in defending the domestic economy against the forecasted, progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy in 2019?
Does the activation of economic processes through the development of pro-development innovation policy programs, activation of innovation and entrepreneurship can be an important factor in defending the national economy against a progressive slowdown in economic growth in the global economy and against the risk of a recession in the domestic economy that could occur through cross-border trade and international capital flows?
The importance of this question is important especially for countries with an open economy with a large share of cross-border trade and the growing share of globalization processes. In addition, this question is valid in the context of the projected slowdown in economic growth in many countries in 2019.
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

Academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship are developed at universities to support innovation and entrepreneurship of students. Incubators are also a supplement to the educational program in the field of activating the innovation and entrepreneurship of students. Incubators sometimes also perform functions or cooperate with a career office for students. Career offices collect employment offers and organize internships for students through cooperation with companies and institutions that employ or give practice to students.
Sometimes academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship also cooperate with various institutions and companies in which students find employment or take apprenticeships. In addition, academic incubators of innovation and entrepreneurship, cooperating with various institutions and companies, enable the establishment of clusters of innovation, in which various economic entities, public institutions, scientific institutes and universities cooperate with each other. In this way, the possibilities of entrepreneurship development and generation of innovative solutions in assumed and developed research projects and startups are increasing.
Sometimes, also with the innovation cluster or business incubator, financial institutions cooperate, primarily banks offering financial support in the form of preferential loans for developing innovative startups. However, at the early stage of the establishment of business activity by students and organizations, the most important role is provided by substantive support in the field of advising on the formal and legal issues and accounting service of the university, lecturers and employees of the academic entrepreneurship incubator.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

Is anybody interested in or already doing research within the field of 'First Principle Reasoning' / 'Physics Thinking' for radical innovation? It's a mental model entrepreneur Elon Musk is talking about quite a bit (basically a problem-solving framework established in physics). I've been building a couple of case studies and a first conceptual framework, but I'm not sure in which area this might fit in (it's actually 100% innovation management / new product development, but the moment a typical management scholar hears the word physics, she/he opts out). I'd be grateful for any hint or advice!

From the beginning of the industrial revolution and the description of the functioning of enterprises in the conditions of market structures, in the trend of classical economics, three types of production factors dominated in the production processes defined by three slogans: land, labor, capital.
However, successively with the development of industry and technological progress in the 20th century, other categories of production factors, typical for economies largely based on information, are added to these classic factors of production.
These factors of production, whose role in many industries has been growing since the 1960s include: knowledge, information, technology and innovation.
In view of the above, the current question is: In what branches of industry such production factors as knowledge, information, technology and innovation are currently or become the most important?

Locally operating business entities should be promoted by chambers of commerce.
Entrepreneurship and innovation should be supported by central and local government units of public administration.
In addition, investment funds should co-finance innovative investment projects characterized by a high level of innovation.
However, in the education system, the issue of promoting local entrepreneurship of innovation may be taken into account, indicating the high level of significance of this issue for the economic development of the local self-government economy as well as in the context of the national economy.

Hello everyone,
I´m in the next couple of months writing my dissertation. My thinking is along the lines of: Corporate heritage/history colliding with innovation and relevancy for the upcoming generation (millennials) in the luxury watch market. Especially the following paper has peeked my interest: "The corporate heritage brand paradox: Managing the tension between continuity and change in luxury brands"
However, there is also a lot of conflicting material and papers out there on the millennials, and not sure if I would end up studying two separate matters with this topic.
My question is if someone has any tips on how to attack this? If you have some expertise on the topics, and willing to share some thoughts/info/guidance it would be of great help. Ultimately, any help or feedback is very much appreciated!

Relationship between conducted scientific research and innovations
Innovations can be the result of conducted research and scientific research.
Research work may concern, for example, defining, developing and planning the process of implementing innovative technologies in production processes or determining the potential industrial application of new, innovative types of materials, eg in the field of organic, biodegradable materials replacing hard-degradable plastics.
Research work is a process that is to lead to the implementation of specific research, analytical, research and implementation goals, the development of new solutions, formulas, laws, dependencies, correlations, inventions, patents and sometimes also innovations. Research work requires financial outlays, knowledge, and human resources of educated, experienced research staff. On the other hand, innovations are a new added value created, the value of which is determined by the possibilities of using a particular innovation in manufacturing processes, production or offering services. Innovation is a kind of product of previously conducted research.

What are the industries that embraced blockchain technology?
What technologies, currently considered surrealistic and possibly achievable in the future, could revolutionize technological progress and could solve key global problems of humanity?
For example, imagine if nuclear fusion technology was developed at a nuclear power plant, in which nuclear material would neutralize toxic waste in this way.
Or if power plants were built, in which hydrogen would be burned in oxygen in a controlled way and in this way electricity would be produced and the whole power plant would be built in the formula of a new generation steam engine, with water vapor arising in the process of the said hydrogen combustion in oxygen.
If it were possible, this type of technological solutions currently considered surreal and unreal could solve global problems being a derivative of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the ever-accelerating process of global warming and the growing demand for electricity.

Are research and development programs for research centers cooperating with enterprises and other entities in clusters in order to activate entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities in your countries?
In recent years, cooperation programs for research and R & D centers with enterprises have been developed in some countries to activate entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities.
Because in developed countries information, innovations, new technologies and entrepreneurship are considered as one of the most important factors of the country's economic development and, as a consequence, also economic growth measured, for example, by the Gross Domestic Product in subsequent years.
In addition, research and research and implementation works are conducted in these themes, which further underline the high level of significance of innovation, new technologies and entrepreneurship in contemporary national economies.
Clusters are created within which enterprises undertake cooperation with other business entities, with scientific, research and implementation centers, universities, public sector institutions to exchange experiences, transfer knowledge, run and develop joint research and implementation projects, including innovative technological and process solutions, research, organizational and other.
In connection with the above, I am asking you the following question: Are research and development programs of research centers with enterprises and other entities in clusters conducted in your countries aimed at activating entrepreneurship and innovation of business entities?

Mathematics is the basis of exact sciences. The development of mathematics consists in the fact that, among others, new phenomena of the surrounding world, which until recently were only described in the humanistic perspective, are also interpreted in mathematical terms.
However, is it possible to write down the essence of artistic creativity in mathematical models and create a pattern model for creating works of art, creative solutions and innovative inventions? If that was possible, then artificial intelligence could be programmed to create works of art, creative solutions and innovative inventions. Will it be possible in the future?
