Анализ проблем развития лесопромышленного комплекса при формировании модели экономики замкнутого цикла на примере Томской области

2019

The main objective of the paper is the conduction of the timber industry complex problems analysis from the circular economy and sustainable development point of view. The problem of waste is considered in conjunction with other environmental, economic and social problems. A modeling of the value chain process and the formation of threats along the whole chain «nature (forest) – economy – society (consumer)» is being conducted. A classification of the development problems in the timber industry complex on the basis of «created values» and «production factors» has been developed. Planned growth in logging volume and wood processing, expansion of unused waste require the development of a spec…

Systemowe zarządzanie ryzykiem w rolnictwie warunkiem przeciwdziałania kryzysom żywnościowym i ekonomicznym

2017

Celem opracowania jest identyfikacja instrumentów zarządzania ryzykiem w rolnictwie, akceptowanych i oczekiwanych przez użytkowników towarowych gospodarstw rolnych w Opolskiem w związku z modernizacją WPR. W opracowaniu wykorzystano meto-dy dedukcyjne i indukcyjne. Przeprowadzono badania literaturowe oraz porównawczą analizę instytucjonalną. Materiał empiryczny zebrano w 2014 r. metodą wywiadu kwestionariuszo-wego w 100 gospodarstwach. Na podstawie badań stwierdzono, że trwająca modernizacja gospodarstw rolnych tworzy nowe rodzaje niepewności. Wdrożenie zarządzania ryzykiem w gospodarstwach rolnych musi być wspomagane innowacjami instytucjonalnymi w zarzą-dzaniu ryzykiem dochodowym, technol…

Stratégie d'aménagement pour le développement durable d'aires métropolitaines par un système multi-scalaire d'aide à la décision : l'exemple de Vienne

2012

A sustainable and sustaining planning strategy is globally important for metropolitan areas. Sustainable planning addresses the development of strategies to reduce the use of resources, increase economic efficiency and improve integration of social aspects (e.g. pedestrian-friendly environments, well-balanced public and private transport modes, efficient street networks, land use, movement economy; access for all to jobs, retail, services; healthcare, culture and leisure). In contrast, splinter development (e.g. urban sprawl) involves damage to nature and generation of an increasing volume of traffic (these are the main criticisms following a study by Newman and Kenworthy (1989) on the rela…

Newspapers on sustainable development - a postmodern business perspective

2009

The paper departs from an urge to understand the operating environment of business firms in the postmodern society. In identifying sustainable development as a key concept, we make use of daily newspapers to explore which values these attach to reporting on sustainable development. After identifying these norms of society, we argue that firms have taken on a role in people’s lives that former pertained to the religious, collective culture. Business organizations provide a sense of belonging in times when people look for new areas of selfidentification. This role has been accepted opportunistically and strategically in the business world. We thus identify a weak SD paradigm, which seems to i…

Simulating and assessing prospective scenarios

2008

The first part of the paper is centered on the phenomena of urban growth, in order to set the rules for a sustainable scenario of urban development. Then we enter the core of the paper that is the comparison of models. For each of the three compared models, we describe its main theoretical characteristics, the chosen parameters, and the obtained results. In section 6, heterogeneity of the produced results is discussed, and we highlight the points of interest and the lacks of the three models. Here we show that results we obtained feed debates about urban growth management. Finally, concluding remarks at the end of the paper address the general topic of the evaluation of the quality of simul…

Preliminary Evaluation of Plasmix Compound from Plastics Packaging Waste for Reuse in Bituminous Pavements

2021

Finding an appropriate technical solution for reusing waste plastics is crucial for creating a circular plastic economy. Although mechanical recycling is the best option for recycling post-consumer plastics, some heterogeneous mixed plastics cannot be recycled to produce secondary material due to their very low properties. In this case, alternative routes should be considered in order to limit their disposal as much as possible. Therefore, in order to solve the environmental problems in the landfills of plastic waste recycling, and to improve the mechanical performance of bitumen for road pavement, the reuse of these post-consumer plastic wastes are preliminarily evaluated for the modificat…

A Research Agenda for Evaluating Strength of Internal Preferences and External Influences in Consumer Smartphone Switching

2015

This article proposes a research agenda to study what causes consumers to switch smartphone manufacturer and operating system brands. International consumer survey is planned for data collection and structural equation modeling method will be used to extrapolate whether internal preferences play a larger role than external influences in consumers’ switching behavior. The effects are expected to be moderated by behavioral control, subjective uncertainty and prior switching experience and controlled with a set of constraint variables. As a theoretical contribution, we propose a new theory to evaluate switching primarily through the latent construct of magnitude of switch. Potential practical …

[Optimization of systemic treatments for chronic plaque psoriasis. Recommendations for switching and transitioning.]

2014

The aim of this study was to provide practical recommendations for optimizing the use of conventional and biological systemic treatments for moderate-severe chronic plaque psoriasis, particularly in case of transitioning and switching.A total number of 147 dermatologists from 33 different countries including Italy achieved consensus in providing practical recommendations for the use of conventional and biological treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis based on systematic literature review and/or expert opinion.In general, the continuous treatment regimen should be preferred in order to achieve a complete and long-term control of psoriasis. However, the treatment could be stopped or the…

Dog-Owner Relationship, Owner Interpretations and Dog Personality Are Connected with the Emotional Reactivity of Dogs

2022

Simple Summary The relationship between owner and the dog affects the dog's attachment behaviors and stress coping. In turn, the quality of the relationship may affect owner's interpretations about their dog's behavior. Here, we assessed dogs' emotional responses from heart rate variability and behavioral changes during five different situations. Dog owners evaluated the emotion (valence and arousal) of their dog after each situation. We found that both negative and positive incidents provoked signs of emotional arousal in dogs. Owners detected the dog's arousal especially during fear- and stress-evoking situations. The dog-owner relationship did not affect owners' interpretation of dogs' e…
