Published: June 2024

Sleep problems in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic have been studied extensively. However, little is known about insomnia in COVID-19-recovered healthcare workers. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of insomnia and its related factors among healthcare workers after COVID-19 infection in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 212 healthcare workers who had recovered from COVID-19 within 6 months and did not require hospitalization. The results shown that 69.3% of the participants reported having insomnia with 19% reporting as severe. A third of the participants indicated that the quality, duration, and initiation of their sleep were worse than before COVID-19 infection. Participants suffering anxiety (OR 5.4 (2.5–11.6), p<0.001) or depressive (OR 4.1 (1.7–9.5), p=0.01) symptoms were substantially more likely to experience insomnia. Our study reported a high prevalence of insomnia among healthcare workers who recovered from COVID-19 infection. Healthcare workers who suffer from anxiety had significantly higher odds of experiencing insomnia than those without symptoms of anxiety and depression. Further interventions should be implemented for this group to alleviate these psychological problems.
A Comparative Study on Dialogic Communication Strategies of Preschoolers in Greece and Rwanda
Authors: Papadopoulos Isaak , Osae Christine
Published: June 2024

The present research aimed to delve into the communicative profile of children in early childhood education in Greece and Rwanda. More specifically, the study was designed and implemented with the aspiration to examine the communication strategies employed by young children and to explore the potential influence of gender, culture and age on the variation of these strategies among children in Larissa (a city in Greece) and in Kigali (a city in Rwanda, Africa). In the study, 120 children were observed in an attempt to document the communication strategies and further look for differentiations on the basis of their gender, age and cultural background. The study findings indicated that children's communicative repertoire is highly affected by their age and country of origin, while, concerning gender, no statistically significant associations were detected. The results of the research indicate the importance of acknowledging the diverse communication strategies employed by children and implementing a dialogic approach to teaching that accommodates the unique communication requirements of each child.

Paternal mortality: The neglected but an impending global pandemic!!!
Authors: OnyekpaI feanyi Johnson  , Odugu Boniface Uwaezuoke
Published: June 2024

Men have always been in the eyes of the storm over the years and across all history, losing their lives with reckless abandon just to save their community, family, wives and children that their death no longer generates any emotions or concerns. Little wonder then, that during crises and war times the attention is only directed towards “innocent women and children” as if the men are guilty of the destructions that befall the society.The realization of the impending annihilation of the male gender necessitated this editorial so as to save the male species from total extinction. The concept of “paternal mortality” is a novel idea that may not have been written in social and medical texts, hence, this editorial that tends to raise the awareness of this impending catastrophe.

Authors: V´asquez Reyes Emil Floricia , Pérez William , Sanders Arie
Published: June 2024

La metodología de las Escuelas de Campo (ECAs), se centra en la observación, facilitando la comprensión de temas y potenciando la investigación participativa para incorporar nuevas tecnologías.  En las ECAs implementadas en Intibucá, 80 productores de papa (41 hombres y 39 mujeres) participaron estableciendo seis parcelas experimentales. Cuatro destinadas a evaluar la resistencia al Tizón Tardío en seis variedades de papa cultivadas en Intibucá ("Dicta Jicaramaní", "Dicta Purén", Fábula, "Bellini", "Soprano" y "Faluka"). Y dos utilizadas para validar la herramienta de apoyo a la toma de decisiones HH-DST (Hand Held Decision Support System) en las variedades "Bellini" (susceptible) y "Dicta Jicaramaní" (moderadamente resistente). Se incluyó el uso de la aplicación digital PlantVillage NURU para el reconocimiento de enfermedades en el cultivo de papa. Los principales resultados evidenciaron la susceptibilidad de todas las variedades evaluadas al Tizón Tardío de papa, así como un incremento en la comprensión de los participantes acerca del Tizón Tardío en la papa. El uso eficiente de la herramienta HH-DST permitió reducir el uso de fungicidas hasta en un 50%, en comparación con la estrategia local disminuyendo los riesgos para la salud de los aplicadores, sus familias y el medio ambiente.

Authors: Flores Sáenz Manuel
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal hematopoietic disorder with a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukaemia. This case report discusses a rare instance of spontaneous splenic rupture in a patient with MDS. Case Report: A 76-year-old male with a history of MDS presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have a splenic rupture. Despite declining chemotherapy, the patient underwent an emergency splenectomy after a CT scan revealed hemoperitoneum. Post-surgery, the patient experienced hypovolemic shock, necessitating a second operation. Discussion: Splenic rupture in MDS is uncommon and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Management of MDS is complex, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach. This case emphasizes the importance of considering patient preferences in treatment decisions and highlights the role of next-generation sequencing in understanding MDS pathogenesis. Conclusion: The case underscores the need for vigilance in managing MDS due to potential complications like splenic rupture. It also illustrates the importance of personalized care and advances in genetic profiling in predicting prognosis and guiding treatment in MDS.
Factores que inciden en la decisión de los y las estudiantes del último año de la educación media de colegios públicos del área metropolitana de la ciudad de Asunción en la elección de una carrera profesional
Authors: Cañisá José María
Published: June 2024

Este estudio descriptivo y transversal examina los factores que influyen en la elección de carrera profesional de estudiantes del último año de educación media en colegios públicos del área metropolitana de Asunción, Paraguay, en 2015. A través de encuestas a 208 estudiantes, se exploran características socioeconómicas, factores internos y externos, y la influencia de los test vocacionales. Los resultados muestran que la motivación intrínseca hacia el logro personal y la satisfacción de seguir una pasión son los principales factores internos, mientras que la estabilidad financiera y el deseo de un futuro económico estable destacan como factores externos. Además, un 59% no había realizado un test vocacional y la mayoría carecía de orientación profesional adecuada. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de mejorar los servicios de orientación vocacional para facilitar una elección informada y adecuada de carrera.
Reseña de la obra “El gobierno de la soja. Regulación de la vida en la era de los monocultivos”
Authors: García Lis
Published: June 2024

En junio de 2023 fue publicado en Asunción - Paraguay el libro del antropólogo Kregg Hetherington, titulado “El gobierno de la soja. Regulación de la vida en la era de los monocultivos”, por el Centro de Estudios Antropológicos de la Universidad Católica (CEADUC). La versión original fue publicada en inglés en el año 2020. Fue galardonado con tres premios, entre ellos el Rachel Carson Book Prize de la Society for the Social Study of Science.
El libro El Gobierno de la soja se desarrolla a partir de una serie de historias locales de personas y plantas, así como de tramas ecológicas y de poder. Estas historias son presentadas como mosaicos que, en cascada, revelan parte de la complejidad de lo estudiado. Las dimensiones de análisis abordadas a lo largo del libro se encuentran ubicadas cronológicamente en los años marcados por el Gobierno de la soja, caracterización que Hetherington otorga a uno de los sectores que formó parte del gobierno de Fernando Lugo (2008-2012), que trató de contribuir a la regulación de los monocultivos transgénicos de soja con el objetivo de frenar su avance, el cual fracasó estrepitosamente. Si bien el recorrido etnográfico inicia en los primeros años de los 2000 y llega hasta el 2019, el análisis global sobre los monocultivos transita a través de los 150 años de historia demarcados como Antropoceno. Hetherington explicita las limitaciones de esta definición para dar cuenta de las dinámicas sociopolíticas y económicas de la crisis ecológica que marca las características del presente. Con ello, pone en el centro de su análisis la profunda sumatoria de crisisanclada y expresada en la devastación ambiental y sus consecuencias.

General consumer perceptions and their impact on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in Vietnam
Authors: Tai Vo Phuoc
Published: June 2024

This study explores the impact of consumer perceptions on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in Vietnam. Given the country's rapid economic development and increasing environmental and social challenges, understanding consumer attitudes towards CSR and ESG is crucial for businesses aiming to align with market expectations. The research employs the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Corporate Reputation Influence framework to analyze how Vietnamese consumers' understanding and perceptions of CSR and ESG influence corporate strategies and decision-making. Key findings indicate that Vietnamese consumers, especially the younger and more educated demographic, are increasingly prioritizing sustainability and ethical practices. Companies that align their operations with these consumer expectations can enhance their reputation, gain competitive advantage, improve operational efficiency, attract top talent, manage risks better, and secure better access to capital. However, challenges such as resource constraints, measurement and reporting difficulties, regulatory compliance complexities, consumer skepticism, and supply chain management issues remain. The study suggests enhancing education and awareness, improving transparency and reporting, strengthening regulatory compliance, fostering stakeholder engagement, supporting SMEs, and promoting innovation and investment in sustainability to effectively integrate CSR and ESG practices.
Legal protection for patients using health social security agency
Authors: Maharani Ni Made Rika Dwi , Bagiastra SH MH Dr. I Nyoman
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this research is to find out and regulate the legal protection and responsibilities of health insurance institutions toward health insurance participants. The research method used is the normative research method. Using a legal and analytical approach. The legal material used was tracked using literary techniques. The outcome of this writing is that, given the many cases of discrimination against patients by health insurance agencies, legal protection is necessary to protect the rights of patients from social health insurance agents. Moreover, the responsibility of the health administration and social security institutions is also imperative for patients from the social security administration bodies because the health services provided are not in accordance with the regulations in force. This liability can arise from the receipt of discriminatory complaints from participants in the health insurance organization. Disputes may be settled through mediation or dispute settlement with the state administration, according to the area of residence.
Analysis Of The Impact Of Carbon Tax And Green Property Tax On Jakarta's Local Revenue
Authors: Nurcahya Wirawan Firman , Afandi Muhamad , Faturrochman Muhamad , Yaasiin Thoha Hanif
Published: June 2024

Environmental issues are serious global challenges that must be addressed immediately. These issues require swift and appropriate action, including policies to support the transition to a greener economy. Carbon tax and green property tax are two fiscal instruments that the government can use to encourage environmentally friendly behavior and investment. This study aims to determine the effect of carbon tax and green property tax implementation on DKI Jakarta's regional income in an effort to implement the Green Economy in DKI Jakarta. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through literature studies. Data is sourced from the internet, including BPS, DKI Jakarta government website, and journals. The results showed that DKI Jakarta's regional income from carbon emission tax in 2023 reached Rp 837,210,000 with total gas emissions of 27,970 kiloton. The realization of green buildings in DKI Jakarta in 2023 exceeded the target, reaching 3.99 percent of the target of 2.5 percent, exceeding the target by 1.49 percent. Green property tax in the form of PBB deductions for green buildings is projected not to increase local revenue, but to reduce local revenue from taxes. However, this decrease in revenue is not significant, as the increase in green buildings will attract investors with a potential US$30 billion green investment by 2030. This can be realized if buildings and companies in DKI Jakarta are green building certified. Reduced local revenue will be worth it if accompanied by reduced emissions from increased green buildings.

Dimensional Stability Properties of Medium-Density Fiberboards Produced Using Silicone-Based Chemicals
Authors: Ondaral Meryem , Usta Mustafa , Ondaral Sedat
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different silicon-based water-repellent chemicals (Dow Corning 87 and Xiameter PMX-200 1000cs) added to melamine urea formaldehyde glue (1.07 mol, 5 % melamine additive) in different proportions (0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 % and 3.0 %) on the dimensional properties (swelling-shrinkage and length extension and shrinkage) of the medium density fiberboard. In the context of the study, the dimensional stability properties of the boards were measured based on the TS EN 318:2005 standard. It was observed that, when the relative humidity of the air conditioning room increased from 65 % to 85 %, the swelling decreased and the extension increased, respectively, in the thickness and length directions of the boards produced with silicon-based chemicals (compared to the control board produced without using silicone-based chemicals). On the other hand, it was determined that the shrinkage in the thickness and length direction of the boards decreased when the relative humidity of the air-conditioning room was reduced from 65 % to 30 %. Moreover, the dimensional stability properties of medium density boards produced with silicon-based chemicals increased (resistance to moisture).

Authors: Akdemir Emirhan , Goktaş Osman , Yeni̇ocak Mehmet , Colak Mehmet
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of mechanical and ultrasound-assisted stirring methods for varnish + components mixing on the varnish layer coating adhesion, surface roughness and glossiness. For this purpose, polyurethane, acrylic and polyester varnish systems were applied on three different wood types, namely Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Eastern beech (Fagus orientalis L.) and Mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), with mechanical and ultrasound-assisted mixing methods. In the mechanical mixing method, 3 and 5 minutes were applied, while in the ultrasonic mixing method, beside 3- and 5- minute stirring time, 80-watt, and 120-watt ultrasonic power was applied during mixing. When research results are generally evaluated, it cannot be said that ultrasound-assisted mixing method is superior to mechanical mixing method. However, the ultrasound-assisted mixing of varnish components at 80 watts for 3 minutes can be recommended.
Experimental Investigation of Rotational Behavior of Glulam Column-Beam Connection Reinforced with Carbon, Glass, Basalt and Aramid FRP Fabric
Authors: Şi̇mşek Türker Yasemin
Published: June 2024

In the domain of modern timber structural systems, timber frame constructions distinguish themselves as preferred and commonly used building methods. Their appeal arises from their architectural adaptability and their distinctive attributes, which enable rapid assembly. In this type of structural system, the effectiveness of the connections between beams and columns plays a pivotal role in determining how forces are distributed, ensuring lateral stiffness, and upholding structural safety. Various methods have been developed to ensure column-beam connections in wooden structures. Column-beam connection points deteriorate and get damaged over time. These critical areas need to be strengthened over time. In this study, glulam columns (140 mm × 140 mm) and beams(140 mm × 280 mm), which are often used as load-bearing elements in wooden structures, were used. Columns and beams are connected to each other according to the wooden notching method. Column-beam connection areas are reinforced with carbon, glass, basalt and aramid fiber reinforced polymer fabrics. After the strengthening process, bending tests of the column-beam connection samples were carried out and the load carrying capacity, total amount of energy consumed, and maximum stiffness values were determined. Additionally, FRP damages occurring in the column-beam connection areas were observed during the experiments. The optimal outcomes for encasing column-beam connections have been identified with carbon-based fiber reinforced polymers. Glassbased fiber reinforced polymers yielded the least favorable results. Aramid-based fiber-reinforced polymers demonstrated similar outcomes to those wrapped with carbon-based counterparts. Consequently, it can be deduced that reinforcing column-beam connections with FRP fabrics, be they carbon, aramid, basalt, or glass-based, can markedly enhance their strength and durability, thereby extending their operational lifespan.
Petro-chemical characterization and depositional setting of a late Permian high ash coal deposit, Central Mongolia
Authors: Michaelsen Per , Demberelsuren Batbold
Published: June 2024

Pan global Permian coal measures are unique in the evolution of the Earth, not matched in any period before or since. Middle and late Permian coal-bearing strata are widely distributed in Mongolia. In particular, a large concentration of transtensive coal-bearing sub-basins is located in southern Mongolia, some of which are well documented. However, the late Permian coal measures developed along the shores of the Mongol-Transbaikalian Seaway in central Mongolia, the focus of this contribution, has received very limited attention. This study focuses on the c. 420 m thick coal-bearing middle part of a c. 2,600 m thick Permo-Triassic succession in the Bayanjargalan district. The study draws on data from 38 drillholes, 3 km of trenches, mapping, petrological analysis of sandstone samples, analysis of macroflora, fauna and trace fossils, 82 coal quality samples as well as washability and ash XRD analysis from a 3t coal bulk sample. The unstable and wedge-shaped architecture of the coal seams strongly suggest a syn-tectonic influence on their development. Paleoclimatic indicators suggest the peat mire ecosystem developed during relatively cold - temperate climatic conditions. Peat-forming plants such as Cordaites, Rufloria and Koretrophyllites probably benefited from moist air currents along the seaway. Plant-arthropod interactions are reported from two sites, in particular DT228 and DT246 oviposition lesions, the latter being almost twice the size of a previous report from North America. Results from 82 proximate analyses returned consistent very high ash yields of 46.95% (db) and 43.45% (adb) from the 3t bulk sample, which are unusual for Permian coals in Mongolia.

Resumen
Las infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU) constituyen la patología urológica más frecuente. Se diagnostican por la clínica sin necesidad de pruebas complementarias (salvo una analítica [tira de orina] confirmatoria). Estos episodios, molestos, pero no graves, son frecuentemente valorados en atención continuada por el médico o la médica de guardia y en consulta de banalidades en urgencias hospitalarias. Si bien no se perciben como problema grave ni por pacientes (por motivos laborales acuden fuera de hora asumiendo que no los verá su médico de familia, aún siendo molestias recidivantes) ni por profesionales (atendido el problema por diferentes facultativos se considera cada episodio como agudo y banal, sin plantear muchas veces etiologías crónicas que se manifiestan con cuadros recurrentes). Entre ellas, está la tuberculosis genitourinaria (TBGU). Presentamos el caso de una mujer joven atendida de urgencia repetidas veces por ITU en la que ante un nuevo episodio se planteó el diagnóstico diferencial entre ITU recidivantes y TBGU.

Palabras clave: infección del tracto urinario, tuberculosis genitourinaria, Atención Primaria.

A Síndrome de Gilles de la Tourette (ST) é um distúrbio neurológico crônico de notável complexidade, marcado pela manifestação de tiques motores e vocais que começam principalmente na infância. A presença concomitante de condições psiquiátricas como Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH), Transtorno Obsessivo-Compulsivo (TOC), transtornos de controle de impulsos e depressão adiciona uma camada de complexidade aos desafios clínicos e terapêuticos enfrentados por esses pacientes. A etiologia da ST é reconhecida como multifatorial, envolvendo uma interação de predisposições genéticas e fatores ambientais, com alterações no circuito cortico-estriado-tálamo-cortical, identificadas através de técnicas avançadas de neuroimagem, sugeridas como contribuintes para a patogênese dos tiques. Apesar da ausência de marcadores genéticos de significância estatística em estudos genômicos amplos, a pesquisa sobre o papel das respostas autoimunes pós-infecções estreptocócicas continua sendo uma área de investigação ativa, embora ainda inconclusiva. Epidemiologicamente, a ST afeta aproximadamente 0,5% da população mundial, com uma predominância masculina e os sintomas típicos surgindo geralmente entre os 5 e 6 anos de idade. A severidade dos tiques normalmente atinge um pico durante a pré-adolescência e frequentemente diminui significativamente na transição para a idade adulta. O objetivo deste estudo é revisar a literatura existente sobre a Síndrome de Gilles de la Tourette, com foco nos desafios persistentes e nos avanços recentes no tratamento. Este artigo enfatiza a importância de abordagens terapêuticas integradas que combinam intervenções farmacológicas, terapias comportamentais e psicológicas. A implementação de estratégias holísticas e personalizadas é crucial para o manejo eficaz da complexidade dos sintomas e para a melhoria substancial da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados. Essa revisão busca destacar os conhecimentos atuais e identificar lacunas na compreensão e tratamento da ST, visando informar práticas clínicas futuras e incentivar a continuidade da pesquisa nesta área.

Introdução: A hipertensão gestacional pode se desenvolver a partir da 20ª semana de gestação. Associado a isso, o excesso de peso corporal nas gestantes, acarreta uma série de doenças. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar a correlação entre os indicadores antropométricos e a hipertensão arterial em gestantes. Metodologia: Tipo transversal, descritiva, quantitativa, com amostra não probabilística e por conveniência. Pesquisa realizada no Posto de Assistência Primária à Saúde, Posto de Saúde Sol Nascente e Posto de Saúde Mutirão II, de Cajazeiras-PB, com quantitativo de 24 gestantes, entre a 13a e 19a semana de gestação, foram acompanhadas até o início do puerpério. Para análise dos dados, a normalidade foi testada pelo teste de Shapiro Wilk. A correlação entre o IMC e PAS e PAD foi avaliada pelo coeficiente de correlação de Pearson para variáveis paramétricas e pelo teste de correlação tau de Kendall para variáveis não paramétricas. Para todos os testes, adotou-se nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Observou-se que 25% das gestantes, desenvolveram picos hipertensivos, destas, 67% iniciaram o pré-natal com obesidade e mantiveram, enquanto 33% iniciaram com peso adequado e mantiveram no puerpério. Dentre essas mulheres, 67% tinham mais de 30 anos, 33% tinham menos que 30. Ademais, 83% tinham ensino médio completo e 17% ensino fundamental incompleto. 50% tinham menos de um salário-mínimo; 33% um salário-mínimo e 17% mais de dois salários. Discussão: Verificou-se que o peso corporal da gestante esteve associado à hipertensão gestacional. Conclusão: Conclui-se que menos da metade da amostra desenvolveu hipertensão gestacional.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) has great importance as a food and serves as a raw material for various industrial products. The aim of this study was to evaluate phenotypic and culinary characteristics of the roots of 15 ethnovarieties of cassava sampled in northern Mato Grosso. The evaluated characteristics included root epidermis texture, skin color, cortex color and root pulp color before and after cooking, ease of removal of the skin and cortex, cooking time and aspects of the cooked mass. The ethnovarieties presented phenotypic diversity for the characteristics evaluated in their roots. The cooking time of cassava ethnovarieties cooked in a conventional pan ranged from 17 to 35 minutes. However, when the cooking of the ethnovarieties occurred in a pressure cooker, all were cooked within 10 minutes. The pressure cooker accelerated the cooking time considerably; however, it negatively influenced the aspects of the cooked mass and had greater water retention. The 15 cassava ethnovarieties present phenotypic variation regarding the texture and colors of the epidermis, cortex, skin, in the fresh pulp and after cooking. Such variation may be indicative of genetic variability, which suggests the need to conserve these cassava ethnovarieties. The evaluation of the culinary characteristics, considering the cooking time and the aspects of the cooked mass, showed that the ethnovarieties Cascatinha, Liberata, Branca 3, Folha roxa, Mandioca de fritar sem cozinhar, Branca 4, Amarelinha 2, Casca roxa, Amarelinha 3 and Casca branca are the most suitable for planting, consumption and commercialization, and can be harvested seven months after planting.
Behaviour of thermally sprayed coating for hot corrosion applications

Published: June 2024

As modern air engines’ working temperatures are increasing, materials and coatings' hot corrosion resistance characteristics gain significant attention. Hot corrosion is a type of degradation at high temperatures that involves oxidizing or sulphidation of the substrate behind a layer of salt melt deposit, which either causes the development of a thick layer of sulphide scale or the penetration of sulphur via grain boundaries into the matrix to a deeper depth. It may notably change the microstructure, phase composition, and characteristics of the thermally sprayed coating. In recent years, thermally sprayed cermet coatings on steel have been more well-liked as a possible method for enhancing hot corrosion resistance. This review paper qualitatively summarizes the recent development of thermal sprayed coatings to improve hot corrosion performance.
ORGANIZATION AND EFFICIENCY OF POLISH ORGANIC FARMS COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL FARMS
Authors: Komorowska Dorota
Published: June 2024

The aim of the article is to assess the organization and efficiency of Polish organic farms compared to conventional farms based on data from farms covered by agricultural accounting in the FADN system in 2021. The surveyed farms were assessed and compared in terms of production potential, organization, production intensity and efficiency, production and economic results, and efficiency of production factors. Ratio analysis methods were used. Research shows that organic farms involve relatively higher labor inputs, but significantly lower production resources in relation to land resources. Therefore, the level of intensity of their production is clearly lower, and this is reflected in a generally relatively lower level of production efficiency and production and economic results. In the case of vegetables from organic farming, there is a large variation in their yield compared to conventional crops. It is possible to achieve relatively higher efficiency, e.g. in the production of organic cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, which proves the important role of biological progress and ecological production methods, especially soil cultivation and fertilization, in shaping the efficiency of plant production. Research has proven that achievements in crop breeding and the promotion of biological progress often play a dominant role in achieving an increase in the efficiency of conventional plant production. Therefore, biological progress becomes particularly important in the context of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of organic farms. This means the need to increase efforts to develop biological progress in organic farming.

The main objective of the research was to determine the potential increase in demand for agricultural land in the European Union countries due to increasing the share of organic production to an average of 25% (assuming that the volume of agricultural production is maintained at the current level). This analysis was carried out against the assumptions of sustainable intensification as an alternative option for building a more sustainable agricultural production system. Based on the literature, established views on the advantages of organic farming were verified, confronting them with the lesser-known concept of sustainable intensification. The simulations’ results indicate that, on average, across the EU, the introduction of the required proportion of organic crops would require an increase of 8.2% in agricultural areas and 7.4% in livestock numbers. This leads to the conclusion that sustainable intensification is a more reasonable path towards a more sustainable food production system, which seeks to maximise production efficiency while respecting existing environmental constraints.
