Authors: Rázusová Michaela
Published: November 2024

The Slovak Armed Forces could use Military Information Support Operations (MISO) knowledge to influence target audiences and align military goals with national interests. This academic paper examines MISO's ability to recruit Generation Z to the Armed Forces Academy of General Milan Rastislav Štefánik. Therefore, this academic paper examines customized MISO strategies to engage Generation Z, considering their digital fluency, values-oriented perspective, and social media dependence. Digital platforms for precise messaging, values-driven content that resonates with Generation Z's social issues, and influencers and peer advocates for recruitment are vital strategies. In the theoretical part of the academic paper, we discuss MISO operations and their application in the U.S. Army environment for multiple purposes, including the recruitment process of new military personnel. Subsequently, in the practical part of the academic paper, we talk about Generation Z and the possibilities of integrating knowledge from MISO operations into the needs of the Slovak Armed Forces in the recruitment process of Generation Z to the Armed Forces Academy of General M. R. Štefánik in Liptovský Mikuláš. The benefits of MISOs involvement in this initiative far outweigh the challenges. By aligning recruitment with Generation Zs preferences and concerns, the Slovak Armed Forces can build a solid and ever-flowing pipeline for cadet flow to the Armed Forces Academy of General M. R, Štefánik in Liptovský Mikuláš. This alignment ensures the recruitment process is practical and relevant to the target audience. MISO's participation is about improving recruitment and strengthening the military communication strategy in the Slovak Republic's complex information landscape. This strategy aims to precisely target a common shared goal, enhancing the audience's confidence in its effectiveness.

Published: November 2024

This study Evaluated the Impact of Facebook use on Grade 12 Humanities and Social Science Students' Academic Performance at Nasugbu East Senior High School, Academic Year 2023-2024. Descriptive research method was employed in the study that involved two hundred eighty-four (284) Grade 12 students. One hundred sixty-four (164) Grade 12 students were the respondents of the study selected through Raosoft sample size calculator. It is quite likely that respondents stated that Facebook is a useful tool for students to interact and communicate with one another rather than necessary for finding information that will help them with their academic studies. Additionally, they said that Facebook's contribution to their learning process is limited to educating students about specific topics that they can use to their education in order to improve their academic performance. In a similar vein, there is a notable disparity between how students view their use of Facebook and how much it influences their academic learning. Although they consider Facebook to be a communication tool, they conclude that its main contribution to students' learning is raising awareness of particular concerns. Lastly, an action plan is proposed in managing the extent of utilizing Facebook to the academic performance of students in Humanities and Social Sciences.

Published: November 2024

The study aimed to develop and implement an intervention program for the psychological healing of depression of women victims of intimate partner violence. To lay the groundwork and come up with the data needed to develop an intervention program, the study used the Sequential Explanatory Design. This mixed method suggests gathering and evaluating the quantitative data and qualitative data in two consecutive phases. The data-gathering tools used in the study included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to measure the depression level of the participants; a Semi-structured interview and a focus group discussion were conducted to provide the data needed for the qualitative phase. A pretest of the BDI-II was administered to the participants. Results showed that the participants were found to have depression during the time of the administration of the test. The BDI’s results provided the formation of the experimental and the control groups while the individual  interview and focus group discussion provided the themes used in the development of the intervention program. These themes were categorized based on Physical Violence, Psychological Violence, Sexual Violence, and Neglect according to the Diagnostic Manual for Mental Disorders 5 (DSM5-TR). The experimental group participated in the eight-session intervention program and the control group did not participate in the sessions. Subsequently, a posttest was administered to the experimental and the control groups. Results showed that the six experimental group participants decreased their depression level significantly, except for one participant who got a four-point increase in her posttest score. There was no significant difference in the pretest and post-test scores of the control group.

Authors: Terzic Saudin , Ploco Maja
Published: November 2024

The capacity of a country to collect taxes can significantly impact its economic development, regardless of its economic system and social-political order. Governments carefully consider the amount of tax revenue they need to collect when determining their short- and medium-term fiscal policy goals. This paper's goal is to examine the problem of estimating Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH) tax capacity and to present evidence of the elements that impact tax capacities based on the opinions of tax practitioners in this area through gender analysis. The sample in this study used a simple random sampling method. The results of the research are the formulation of some conclusions regarding the tax capacity and specific factors of social benefits and security regulation and regulation of the shadow economy, therefore, it is necessary to change them in many aspects. In order to determine which factors have the biggest impact on tax capacity, the article uses both theoretical and empirical analyses. The empirical analysis uses a chi-square proportion test.
Productivity and quality of grain of winter tritical varieties
Authors: Lyatamborg S. , Rotari S. , Gore Andrei
Published: November 2024

The growing interest in the triticale crop is due to its high productivity, winter hardiness, quality of grain and green mass, low susceptibility to a number of diseases, the possibility of cultivation on poor soils, as well as an increased content of biologically complete protein, whi-ch determines the high fodder qualities and nutritional value of this crop [2, 3, 4]. The main goal of triticale breeding at the present stage is the creation of new high-yielding varieties with increased adaptability, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, with high fodder, technological and baking qualities [1, 5]. Periodic droughts cause great damage to the agriculture of our country, as a result of which the yield loss amounts to many tons of grain of wheat and other cereal crops. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to assess the productivity and quality of grain of diﬀerent varieties and new promising forms of winter triticale and to identify sources of economically valuable traits.
The national sharing information mechanism (NISM) implemented in the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Romanciuc Gabriela
Published: November 2024

The Global Plan of Action (GPA) for conservation and sustainable utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) is an initiative of Food and Agricul-ture Organization (FAO), adopted during the Fourth International Technical Conference on Plant Genetic Resources, which held in Leipzig, Germany, from 17 to 23 June 1996. The Conference also adopted the Leipzig Declaration, which focuses attention on the importance of plant genetic resources for world food security, and commits countries to implementing this Plan. It contains the priority actions identiﬁed, at local, national, regional and internati-onal levels. It provides an integrated framework for systematic, rational, balanced and equi-table cooperation.The GPA is a framework of activities encompassing development of in situ conservation of PGRFA, sustaining existing collections, enhancing utilization and increasing capacity of countries regarding education, public awareness and training on these aspects. FAO has developed a monitoring process of implementation of GPA in diﬀerent countries through a mechanism called National Information Sharing Mechanism (NISM) for monito-ring the implementation of GPA. It is an information network for monitoring activities car-ried out to implement the Global Plan of Action (GPA) on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) NISM has been developed by FAO in partnership with Bioversity International to help monitor in-country progress in relation to the Global Plan Action. NISM is a partnership among stakeholders that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. The application of the new monitoring approach led to the establishment of 65 National Information Sharing Mechanisms (NISM), which provide comprehensive information on all of the 20 priority activity areas of the Glo-bal Plan of Action. As part of this monitoring eﬀort, key national PGRFA stakeholders have established National Information Sharing Mechanisms (NISM), and published detailed infor-mation on the state of conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA in their respective coun-tries, through web portals and databases. NISM data, which includes, inter alia, information on more than 24.000 publications, 18.000 projects, 61.000 cultivars and 18.000 stakeholders, can also be accessed through the World Information Sharing Mechanism on PGRFA, and automatically feed the WIEWS database on ex situ collections. In all countries that have established NISMs, the mechanism contributed important information to and facilitated the preparation of the Country Report. Data provided by NISMs have also used for the analysis of regional and global trends, for quality assurance and for the identiﬁcation of priorities and needs in the sector of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture [1]. The experience of the Republic of Moldova in implementation of this mechanism and its outcome is discuss in this article.

Authors: Siromyatnikov Iu. , Cotenco Eugenia , Paladi Dana
Published: November 2024

Plant breeding is the remarkable applied discipline of plant genetics with the aim of crea-ting new genotypes with high-performing characters and properties, both in terms of production level, as well as yield quality and resistance to extreme environmental conditions [1, 2]. For the creation of new forms of tomato with increased resistance to extreme temperatures and with high productivity under water deﬁciency conditions, diﬀerent intra- and interspeciﬁc hybridi-zation methods were used. Interspeciﬁc hybridization is a method that can induce much higher variability compared to intraspeciﬁc hybridization. This method is used to create an initial ma-terial for tomato breeding by transferring from wild species such as L. chilense, L. peruvianum and L. hirsutum to the cultivars some valuable characters, such as resistance to stress factors and useful dry compound content in fruits. Although worldwide there is a large number of hy-brids, varieties, lines, and in our country the tomato assortment is vast including genotypes for ﬁeld cultivation of determinate and semi-determinate growth type intended for industrialization or fresh consumption, the breeding of new varieties always remains up-to-date. Purpose: research and assessment of quantitative traits in F2 hybrid populations based on characters of interest for breeding.

Introduction. Potato Solanum tuberosum L. is important agricultural crop. It takes im-portant place in food list for men food. It takes important place as a feed for animal husbandry and industry. The potato diseases, causative agents are diﬀerent phytopathogenic organisms (fungi, viral, bacterium) is important problem for potato study today. Alternaria blight and late blight are dangerous diseases of fungi diseases. They take serious spread every year in Ukraine territory. They may cause serious losses for potato growing. The decrease quanitity of yield goods quality decrease, storage observed in recent years. The areas defeating happens through the reasons of farming culture decrease. Among them are: non-control fertilizers input and systems of potato nourishing, non- following the agrotechnical requirements for crop rotation optimal terms for planting, absence of quality seeds material, unfavorable weather conditions and defeating pathogen organisms of fungi nature. The agricultural crops protection from complex of pests is important task for agricul-ture. The agriculture losses 50-60% from the yield every year. The main crops’ yield may increase in terms of soils fertility and favorable climatic terms through the development of biological farming [1, 3, 4]. There are immunomodulators for this aim. They used as stress adaptogens, activators for growing and development. They enforce plants’ root system, nor-malize soil’s content and increase absorption of nutritious matters of crop.

Published: November 2024

During last years investigations cowering the elaboration of new systems of integrated plant protection became more active by utilization biorational means of plant protection, and electro optic installations. A great attention is accords to elaboration and selection of sour-ces- attractants and new electro optic structures whice must show a high attractively due to a speciﬁc irradiation spectrum and, thus, provide a maximum trapping of harmful insects. Application of the light traps is a more perfect method for phenology investigation of many important, in an economic aspect plant pest, and results of insects gathering can by used for elaboration short-term prognoses of insect pests development for rendering more precise the terms for craning out of protection measures. Further the light traps for insect can be used as an independent mean for plant pest combating. Purpose. The existing methods of capturing and collecting harmful insects for the purpose of forecasting and monitoring their development do not ensure the availability of complete data on the species and the density of pest populations. At the same time, many insect species cannot be identiﬁed using these methods. Much more eﬀective are the capture methods with the use of ultraviolet radiation sources. The eﬀect of attracting harmful insects with this bait allows to elaborate a variety of trap models, based on the use of light sources with a certain wavelength. Given that more attention is currently being paid to ecological methods of combating pests of agricultural crops, the need has arisen to carry out scientiﬁc research activities on the development of new models of multifunctional traps with an ultraviolet light source, with a pronounced eﬀect of attracting harmful noctuid insects. When designing and calculating the basic parameters, the optimal exposure value, the spectral range of the radiation source - of the decoy, as well as the constructive parameters of the device were taken into account. Experimental models of elaborated devices depend, ﬁrst of all, on their intended purpose and destination. Thus, for signaling the appearance of pests, monitoring their development, determining their density in the given agrocenosis, devices are needed, which ensure the maintenance of the speciﬁc appearance of the captured specimens in order to study and classify them by species and groups. It is particularly important to fulﬁll this condition, to signal the appearance of quarantine pests and to take all measures to limit their spread in time.
Cultivation attempts of Saccharopolyspora spinosa on liquid medium
Authors: Lungu Andrei
Published: November 2024

In the last ﬁfty years, pesticides of chemical origin were very actively used, which undoubte-dly led to an increase in agricultural production, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and inﬂuen-ced the spread in certain areas and of diﬀerent crops, which were more diﬃcult before. But people started using these products without examining their impact on the environment and without taking into account that other generations will also need this habitat to develop. Use of pesticides contrary to recommendations led to air, water and soil pollution. Residues generated during the degradation of many active substances from pesticides are present in the environment for a long time, for exam-ple, even today large amounts of DDT are detected in the tissues of marine animals. After society became aware that residues from the environment end up in human food, being the cause of various ailments, a campaign to tighten the standards began. In the last decades a very wide range of active substances have been excluded from the market or their use has been greatly limited. Along with the limitation of the use of some classes of substances and the tendency to develop organic and sustainable agriculture, there has been a shortage of preparations that could be used to solve the problems created by phytopathogenic and harmful agents [1, 2]. Biorational pesticides are products that have a maximum eﬀect on the target and a minimum eﬀect on the environment. Almost 90% of the microbial biopesticides currently available on the market are derived from a single entomopathogenic bacterium, i.e., Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt. Currently, biopesticides comprise a small portion of the total global crop protection market, va-lued at approximately $3 billion worldwide, accounting for only 5% of the total crop protection market. More than 200 products are available in the United States (US) market, compared to 60 similar products produced in the European Union (EU) market [3]. Although the use of biological pesticides on a global scale is increasing by 10% every year, it seems that the global market needs to grow further in the future if these pesticides are to play a visible role in replacing chemical pesticides and reducing the current over-reliance on them [3]. To solve some of the problems we propose to use the metabolite called spinosad, which is a complex of secondary metabolites syn-thesized by Saccharopolyspora spinosa [4]. Initially we propose to test this metabolite for aphids control under protected soil conditions, which will allow more detailed follow-up of the eﬀects and in case they will have environmental eﬀects they will be minimal [5].
Management of root rot in common wheat
Authors: Lupashku Galina A.
Published: November 2024

Although common wheat is grown in diﬀerent ecological and geographical areas, which indicates the high adaptive potential of this crop, in recent years the harvest is often compro-mised quantitatively and qualitatively due to various ecological disturbances – extreme tem-peratures, droughts that predispose to diseases of various fungal diseases, spread in all wheat-growing countries, having a signiﬁcant negative impact on grain yield and quality. Among the many fungal species that populate the soil, about 8,000 species of fungi and oomycetes are associated with the plant diseases, reduced fruit set and threat to food security [1]. Root rot is considered a complex disease, dominated by diﬀerent pathogens on diﬀerent surfaces or diﬀerent pathogens in the succession of the ontogenetic stages of plants. As these diseases present long-term problems for many cereal-growing countries, in order to obtain high and quality crops for wheat and barley, extensive research has been initiated on the pathogens involved, the environmental factors associated with these diseases and crop losses. Determining the composition of fungal species that cause one disease or another in crop plants is of great importance for the development of the right protection measures and serves as a methodological support in pathogen resistance screening systems. Because the host-plant-fungus relationship is often trophic, it is interesting to identify the particularities of the com-position of causative agents in plant ontogenesis – a factor on which the nutrient biochemical substrate for the pathogen signiﬁcantly depends. Purpose: Establishing of the role of genotype factor and environmental conditions in the manifestation of common wheat resistance to fungal pathogens.
Effect of heat stress on tomatoes in different evaluation systems

Published: November 2024

Morphological and physiological changes in response to heat stress (HS) in tomato are diﬀerent between accessions, at diﬀerent growth stages and with various HS exposure periods. H2O2 signaling plays an important role in the regulation of many biological processes and stress conditions. A recent study found that H2O2 acts as a signal during HS memory in a speciﬁc man-ner in heat-sensitive and heat-tolerant tomatoes [1]. The triggering of a plant’s defense state can lead to acquired resistance to biotic stress or to acclimatization for abiotic stress [2]. Purpose. The purpose of the research is to highlight the particularities of the response and adaptation reactions of plants of diﬀerent genotypes in the case of HS action at diﬀerent growth stages, singular or repeated stress, and depending on the origin of the seed material of the plants.

Published: November 2024

The family Anthocoridae is known as an important group of predators of such agricul-tural pests as thrips, aphids, mites, psyllids, scale insects, as well as immature stages of some lepidopteran insects. Some anthocorids have commercial use to keep thrips populations low in greenhouses. Orius majusculus is a Palearctic species commonly found in various agricultural biotopes and wild fauna on the Eurasian continent. This anthocorid species has been used for biological control of thrips in several countries [3]. The genus Amphiareus is represented in Europe by two species: Amphiareus obscuriceps (Poppius, 1909) and Amphiareus constrictus (Stal, 1860). Amphiareus obscuriceps is an invasive species, probably of Asian origin, recorded in various European countries [4]. In the Republic of Moldova, it is speciﬁed as a rare species [2]. Amphiareus constrictus ﬁrst recorded in Europe (Netherlands) since 2009 [1]. So, due to the increasing interest in the use of natural enemies in the pest management systems, laboratory experiments have been carried out to evaluate the laboratory rearing and the voracity potential of two anthocorid species (Orius majusculus and Amphiareus sp.) as bi-ological control agents.

Published: November 2024

Ecosystem functionally is ensured by the relationships between the species that make them and their interactions with abiotic factors. The existence and activity of any pest population is determined by the consumption of the necessary nutrients. About 140 species of phytophagous attack cultivated plants. In the event of an invasion and development of the hazardous pests, crop losses can exceed 50-60% and crops can be completely compromised. Climate change is a key that requires urgent action to change attitudes towards the environment. In this regard, the role of science and research is huge to ﬁnd alternative solutions and replace harmful methods for the global, regional and local climate. In the fauna of the Republic of Moldova, 409 species from the Noctuidae family were recorded, some of which periodically cause considerable damage to agricultural crops. One of the corresponding species is Agrotis segetum, which causes damage to about 140 plant species, but the most heavily attacked are wheat, soybeans, peas, corn, tomatoes, and others. Chemical control is undesirable in these crops, even more so, taking into account the hidden way of life of the larvae, the results are not the desired ones [1, 2]. The application of sex pheromones to monitor the development and control of the given pest is welcome, but a deeper study of the sexual and reproductive correlation is required. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the copulatory and reproductive potential in seasonal dynamics and depending on generations of the pest Agrotis segetum.

Bacterium Pseudomonas syringae van Hall and its pathovars was placed on the top of the ten most important plant pathogens list due to the huge importance for the science and economics [Mansﬁeld et al, 2012]. At present it is known about 60 pathovars of the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae van Hall. The causative agent of bacterial canker disease, bacterium Ps. syringae pv. syringae, is one of the most economically signiﬁcant Ps. syringae pathovars which aﬀects about 180 plant species. The bacterial pathogen can substantially reduce the yield of economically important cultures such as pear, apple and quince. Relatively low temperatures and high humidity are favorable for bacteria Ps. syringae pv. syringae growth [Pinheiro et al., 2019]. That is why, the phytopathogen may cause the most serious damage in spring during budding stage of plant vegetation. For to combat bacterial canker agrotechnical, chemical and biological control measures are used. Fungi of the genus Trichoderma as well as bacteria Bacillus subtilis are used as biolo-gical control agents for the bacterial canker disease. The preparation “Pentafag”, elaborated in the Republic of Belarus on the basis of ﬁve bacterial viruses strains, bacteriophages, has shown high eﬃcacy in the disease suppressing. Bacteriophages are widely spread and can be detected in the targeted bacteria natural environment. Furthermore, bacteriophages can regulate themselves in the sites of infection, depending of the bacterial population density. Being highly specialized bacterial parasites bac-teriophages, can be applied against antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria or when chemical control measures are forbidden, for example, during plants bloom stage. For the moment it is known that bacteriophages from the families, Podoviridae, Myoviridae и Siphoviridae infect Ps. syringae pv. syringae bacteria [Pinheiro et al. 2019, Rabiey et al. 2020]. The aim of the study was to investigate the ability of Ps. syringae pv. syringae bacterio-phage isolate, which we detected in the quince tissues aﬀected with bacterial canker, to inhibit bacteria Ps. syringae pv. syringae growth in the cut quince shoots.

The genetic resources the background for biodiversity-and new species
Authors: Butnaru Gallia
Published: November 2024

The genetic resources is commonly used as a method to increase the genetic ﬂe-xibility of crops is to make use of the gene pool of related wild relatives with this. In Europe and almost all over the world, the scientiﬁc and professional organiza-tion EUCARPIA, through its 12 sections, summarizes knowledge related to existing genetic resources, connects institutions, gene banks and researchers from all over the world for collaboration. Within the Genetic Resources section, new methods and techniques can be rapidly integrated into the plant breeding. EUCARPIA in collaboration with COMMYT Mexico have played an important role in promoting Triticale worldwide. Thus, from 1972 until today, they support all the international events related to triticale (1973 - 3, 1980 - 1 and 1984 - 1). At the ﬁrst International Triticale Symposium in Australia (1986) ITA (International Tri-ticale Association) was founded, together supporting and organizing the following symposia (1986 - 2022 - 12 events). In the list of new performances from gene pool utilization is Tritipyrum (Triti-cum durum × Thinopyrum bessarabicum), a specie with genes of tolerance to salinity and drought proposed for breeding programs. The paper will discussed in parallel the two species created by man, which con-tribution of diversiﬁed the genetic resources. If we talk about triticale today as a cereal of major importance for the economy of some countries (Poland), or about productions of over 7000 kg/ha (Belgium, Ro-mania), we can say that Tritipyrum is at the beginning of its importance. In both species, primary and secondary forms were created and exists (Roud-bari, Nejad, Hassani, 2017), meiotic instability is manifested in both types of hybrids (Shahriari, Assad, Hassani, 2012), both crops have a good tolerance to abiotic stress (Hassani, Borner, Mohamadinejad, Roudbari, Zeinali, 2018). Both species had a period of pioneering, of fundamental research, long for triti-cale, almost 100 years, and one of actual breeding, of approximately 50 years. It took around 30 years to create and improve Tritipyrum.In order for triticale to reach recognition as a cereal of economic importance, more than 150 years were needed in which the improved technological progress has been used (mutagenesis, in vitro cultivation, improvement assisted by molecular mar-kers). Tritipyrum beneﬁted from the knowledge gained in the production and improve-ment of triticale. Both species contributed to the genetic diversiﬁcation of cereals, to obtaining new combinations of genes and to new phenotypic performances.Their future is from now on.
Conservation of medicinal plant resources in the National Botanical Garden (Institute) “Al. Ciubotaru”
Authors: Ciocarlan Nina
Published: November 2024

Botanical Gardens play a key role in ex situ conservation of plants and always hosted collections of useful plants as one of their primary tasks [2]. The collection of medicinal plants from the National Botanical Garden (Institute) “Al. Ciubotaru” (NBGI), with a long and rich history, has experienced a real development in the last decades. The main activities are focused on the mobilisation and continuous maintenance of medicinal plant genetic resources, elucida-tion of bioecological and ontogenetic characteristics under ex situ conditions, phytochemical studies and agronomic aspects for introduction into primary culture. The purpose of the study was to inventory and analyse the gene pool of medicinal plants from NBGI in the 2021-2022 vegetation seasons and bring some scientiﬁc results on the most important plant genera from collections studied in recent years.
About the creation of drought tolerance varieties of bread wheat
Authors: Jahangirov A.
Published: November 2024

Wheat diﬀers in ecological plasticity among cultivated plants and is cultivated on a wide variety of soils and climatic conditions. An important part of wheat crops in the world and in Azerbaijan is grown in dry conditions, and most of it is grown in unsecured rainfed land. Therefore, to increase wheat production under arid conditions, it is important to study the phy-siological parameters as well as the agronomic characteristics in scientiﬁc research. To do this, it is necessary to study the physiological characteristics of new wheat genotypes and study their relationship with productivity under stressful conditions.

Społeczne i ekonomiczne aspekty funkcjonowania drobnych gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce
Authors: Żmija Janusz , Szafrańska Monika
Published: November 2024

Drobne gospodarstwo rolne to gospodarstwo, w którym powierzchnia użytków rolnych nie przekracza 5 ha. W 2012 roku funkcjonowały w Polsce prawie 758 924 drobne gospodarstwa rolne, stanowiąc 52,1% wszystkich gospodarstw rolnych. Ze względu na ich mały obszar, niską dochodowość i słabe powiązania z rynkiem drobne gospodarstwa rolne w Polsce w niewielkim stopniu spełniają funkcje produkcyjne. Główne korzyści funkcjonowania tych jednostek związane są z pełnieniem rozlicznych funkcji o charakterze społecznym i środowiskowym, jak: ochrona przed ubóstwem i wykluczeniem, opieka nad najmłodszymi i najstarszymi mieszkańcami wsi, tworzenie kapitału społecznego, kapitału kulturowego, kształtowanie krajobrazu wiejskiego, dostarczanie na rynek żywności wytworzonej w sposób bardziej naturalny i wyższej jakości. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie i ocena wybranych funkcji społeczno-ekonomicznych, jakie pełnią drobne gospodarstwa rolne w Polsce. W opracowaniu wykorzystano publikacje naukowe zwarte i ciągłe oraz dane statystyki masowej (informacje zamieszczone w [Roczniku Statystycznym Rolnictwa 2014]). Do analizy danych statystycznych wykorzystano analizę porównawczą (dynamiki) oraz analizę struktury. Uzyskane wyniki badań zostały przedstawione w formie opisowej i tabelarycznej.
Efektywność wykorzystania czynników produkcji w rolnictwie polskim na tle Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Kołodziejczak Małgorzata
Published: November 2024

Celem pracy było zbadanie efektywności wykorzystania czynników produkcji w ujęciu sektorowym, w skali międzynarodowej, zaś badanym sektorem jest rolnictwo Unii Europejskiej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rolnictwa polskiego. Ponadto utworzono typologię rolnictwa krajów Unii Europejskiej opartą na kryterium produktywności. Zakres czasowy badań obejmował lata 2000–2012. Stwierdzono, że pomimo iż w badanym okresie zdecydowanie poprawiła się efektywność wykorzystania czynników produkcji, to nadal analiza efektywności wypada na niekorzyść rolnictwa polskiego, co uzasadnia konieczność dalszych przemian strukturalnych.
Financial backing as an element of infrastructural support for agricultural development: Ukrainian realities
Authors: Krupin Vitaliy , Chemerys Vasyl
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This article sets out to investigate the current situation for financial backing of agricultural development in the Ukraine as an element of the complex infrastructural support for this type of economic activity. The research is based both on statistical data and its analysis, as well as on expert opinions of Ukrainian scientists, dealing with these particular issues.A number of components of the financial system were reviewed, including the activities of banks in financing of agricultural production, Ukrainian peculiarities and activities of credit unions, leasing and insurance companies, stock exchange markets, foreign and domestic investors, as well as the financial specificities in operation of local rural self-governance authorities and various inter-budgetary relations.The main conclusion is that Ukrainian financial backing of agricultural production remains inefficient, yet with proper measures, introduced in the future, it could become a proper tool for infrastructural support of producers and processors in agricultural sector of Ukrainian economy. It is a key requirement for being able to participate and be internationally competitive on agricultural and food markets.
