The introduction of the Maastricht criteria was a crucial step in ensuring fiscal discipline and economic stability in the European Union. However, the crises of recent decades, including the Great Recession, the sovereign debt crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, and the energy crisis, have revealed the limitations of these rules. Strict fiscal requirements have hindered countries’ responses to economic challenges, highlighting the need for a more flexible and adaptive fiscal policy to better withstand future economic shocks. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of the European Union’s fiscal rules over the 20-year period, analysing GDP growth differences between the EU and the Eurozone, as well as the fiscal performance of individual member states. It also seeks to

This article examines how Lean principles can be integrated into public-private partnership (PPP) projects to promote effective reconstruction and sustainable infrastructure development in postwar Ukraine. Driven by the urgent need to rebuild, Ukraine faces the challenge of not only rehabilitating its infrastructure assets, but also ensuring compliance with European Union standards and global sustainable development goals. The study explores the theoretical underpinnings of Lean manufacturing and its applicability to infrastructure PPP projects. A mixed method approach, including document and literature review, case studies, expert opinion and SWOT analysis, was used to identify opportunities for improving project implementation and resource allocation. The results show that the Lean concept can save costs, promote multi-stakeholder collaboration, and optimise procedures at each stage of the PPP infrastructure project lifecycle. Overcoming regulatory hurdles, attracting private investment and reducing political and economic uncertainty, are necessary ingredients for the successful implementation of Lean-based infrastructure PPP projects.

This paper illustrates the impact of urbanisation strategies on the spatial organisation and urban functioning of the metropolis of Constantine, highlighting new trends in the occupation of space and their repercussions on inhabitants’ practices. The approach adopted is based on centrality, combining indicators of concentration, mobility and attraction. Changes will be examined through socio-economic statistics and field surveys, in the form of observations, counting and questionnaire interviews with residents. The results obtained illustrate clearly the organisational shift, reflected by the spatial redistribution of centrality attributes (populations, activities, services), and the urban functioning mode, which is increasingly taking a polycentric form, generating new forms of multidirectional mobility on increasingly larger scales.

Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamas slaugytojų perdegimas darbe – plačiai paplitusi problema sveikatos priežiūros organizacijose. Perdegimas darbe apima fizinį, emocinį ir psichologinį išsekimą, kurį dažniausiai sukelia didelis darbo krūvis, stresas, ilgos darbo valandos ir nepakankami ištekliai. Perdegimas gali lemti medicinines klaidas ir prastesnius darbo rezultatus. Šis reiškinys neigiamai veikia ne tik slaugytojų gerovę, bet ir daro didelį poveikį organizacijos veiklai bei pacientams teikiamų sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų kokybei. Pagrindinis straipsnio tikslas – išanalizuoti mokslinę literatūrą, kurioje nagrinėjamas slaugytojų perdegimas darbe ir jo valdymas. Be to, aptariami perdegimo atsiradimą lemiantys veiksniai, pasekmės ir valdymo priemonės, galinčios sumažinti perdegimo darbe riziką.
