Our study purpose is to analyze the tobacco industry’s sustainable practices by investigating how and when green human resources management (GHRM) practices influence the development of the organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) at the individual level. Therefore, we focus on OCBE as a mediation mechanism (how) and green culture enablers as a serial mediation (when) for the nexuses between GRHM, OCBE, and organizational performance (OP). The employee behavior requires the support of managers (leadership), who serve as enablers to ensure long-term goals and increase organizational resources. Data from 410 respondents in the tobacco industry in Pakistan were analyzed using descriptive analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and the PLS-SEM model. Our results proved that GHRM significantly increased OP. In practice, our findings are helpful for managers as guidelines for the decision-making process related to improving the organizational culture and employee green behavior to improve sustainability in the tobacco industry.

Traveling is definitely a way of life for many of us. However, the year of 2020 is the year of great changes, the tourism sector collapsing with the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is still too early to see the long-term effects caused by this SARS-CoV-2 virus, especially since this paper aims to analyze the situation of the tourism sector in the first half of 2020. Thus, the review of the impediments encountered in international tourism and of some possible ways of tourist recovery for the postpandemic period represented aspects of great interest for the author. Romania being a Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic country, has a natural tourist potential that can attract tourists and generate profits that can propel the Romanian tourism sector among the national economic sectors that contribute greatly to the formation of national GDP. It is interesting how this paper presents the situation of a country in which the tourist potential is not properly valued and in the difficult context of the present COVID-19 pandemic, can by implementing key strategies aimed at practicing sustainable tourism, gain "ground" in the international tourism, respecting by the way, at the same time as practicing tourism, the health safety measures that currently represent a daily priority.

Russia has been on the international stage as a superpower of 10 centuries, reaching its peak in the second half of the twentieth century, when under the leadership of the U.S.S.R. dominated the socialist world, owning the northern half of Asia and the eastern half of Europe, when it had twice the surface area of any other state on Earth, being as much as the USA, China and India together. Even after the most spectacular growth, it experienced its greatest decline, the current Eurasian power and center of Orthodox civilization being in a severe demographic decline, increasingly disadvantaged compared to its highly populated neighbors and in a space crisis and being in the vicinity of the second great dismemberment after the one in 1991, risking its decline to critical dimensions, which would turn it into a small retrograde power, representing the definition of geopolitical failure and probably becoming a shameful case study of this early 21st century. However, there could be a set of perfect geopolitical decisions, which would prevent the national failure and the split of the country, avoiding a foreshadowed scenario for the current century, from which Russia could return among the world's powers, with vast natural, subsoil and agricultural resources so necessary to the booming economies of Asia or the growing population of Africa, giving the opportunity to this old people be respected and courted by all major importers of raw materials.

We think that a careful and objective examination of the events, of the phenomena and of the processes from nature and society, show two axiomatical truth, that determine the change of’ the conceptions and of the mentalities according to the economical development increasing, to the general progress, to the living level and aspirations and interests. It is known that the society or social system represent a dependent part of the mother-nature (ecosystem) with a minor impact to the human existence and conscience. One of the actual major preoccupations is to place the man in the center of the lasting development, to integrate him into systems which the populate them
