Bringing a Horse to Water: The Shaping of a Child Successor in Family Business Succession
Authors: Wasim Jahangir , Almeida Fernando
Published: January 2023

This study critically investigates and evaluates the childhood and adolescent year strategies, and efforts that parent-owners of family businesses incorporate to encourage and prepare children for a successful future succession. The sample consisted of six family businesses in the North East of Scotland: two successfully introduced a second-generation, two a third generation and one a fourth generation, with one still in the founder stage. The findings reveal that the succession planning process was an instantaneous event into generational bridging, where no formal planning process was commenced. Parent-owners influenced and facilitated knowledge transfer and education, leaving control to the child successors with career options. The research has also shown the difficulties in how the child successors of the future may find succession challenging and demanding with contextually complex issues.
Family Business Resilience: The Importance of Owner-Manager's Relational Resilience in Crisis Response Strategies
Authors: Schulze Matti , German German
Published: January 2023

The COVID19 pandemic has disclosed the compelling necessity for businesses to develop and maintain a high resilience to survive the constantly changing environment they operate in and the rising number of crises they face. Our study sheds light on the resilience of owner-managed family businesses, with a special focus on different levels within and beyond the organization, by analyzing digitalization efforts as one form of strategic response to a crisis. More precisely, building on an extensive explorative multiple case study, we explore how and why owner-managed family businesses differ regarding their resilience and the implications this has for their crisis management. We contribute both to the literature on resilience and to research on family business strategies by showing differences in crisis response related to different levels of family business resilience and the special role of the owner-manager.

Además, la zona de red es donde se produce un número mayor de golpes ganadores, mientras que la pareja ganadora obtiene un 20 % más de golpes ganadores que de errores. Finalmente, el tipo de punto no parece influir en la eficacia del golpe. Estos datos pueden servir de referencia a entrenadores y jugadores en el diseño de ejercicios y preparación de estrategias y tácticas en la competición.
Traducción e interpretación en los servicios públicos: formación y competencias útiles para el mercado laboral
Authors: Vitalaru Bianca
Published: January 2023

Public service interpreting and translation (PSIT) is a subfield of translation and interpreting. Still, it could stand independently due to the variety of subfields it encompasses and, thus, the job possibilities. Despite being considered an under-professionalised field in Spain, hundreds of graduates are interested and trained in PSIT, hoping to enhance their employment chances. However, this field relies on very few studies that focus specifically on employment, the skills that can make students employable or the graduates’ perspectives regarding the usefulness of the education and training received. This paper has three objectives: to explore the most useful skills for the PSIT labour market in Spain from the perspective of the graduates of a specific programme based on a selection of skills, to explore the potential relationship between internships and labour market insertion and to determine differences by language pairs. Results are obtained based on data gathered through a questionnaire sent to this specific training programme graduates. They show essential differences between the perception of the different language pairs in which the programme is taught, which could be correlated with other labour market needs and job opportunities. In turn, these differences also affect the usefulness of the skills that the students develop in the programme. Moreover, despite the variety of the subfields involved in the PSIT field, there is a specific relation between internships and certain jobs, especially for part of the Arabic, Chinese, French, and Russian groups graduates.

Transcreación y adaptación cultural en videojuegos: proceso, producto y recepción
Authors: Zorrakin-Goikoetxea Itziar
Published: January 2023

Este estudio exploratorio trata de ampliar la información disponible sobre la transcreación en videojuegos conjugando datos del proceso, el producto y la recepción. Primero, se indaga en la familiarización de los desarrolladores de videojuegos con el concepto de transcreación mediante un muestreo probabilístico con encuesta. Después, se analizan dos juegos en los que se ha concedido más libertad creativa al traductor para comprobar si este hecho da lugar a más desviaciones del significado literal del texto de origen. Por último, una encuesta de recepción entre 569 jugadores tantea su opinión sobre la adaptación cultural en videojuegos. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los desarrolladores no están familiarizados con el concepto de transcreación, pero sí permiten que el traductor se distancie en cierta medida del texto de origen. Los jugadores tienen una opinión dividida sobre la importancia de la adaptación cultural y la traducción de nombres propios en videojuegos.
Veterinarian COVID-19 vaccine uptake was widespread, but safety and efficacy concerns held some back: descriptive results from a survey of AVMA members’ perceptions of COVID-19
Authors: Benishek Lauren E. , Tomasi Suzanne E. , Pikel Laura , Golab Gail C.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

Assess COVID-19 vaccine uptake among veterinarians and describe unvaccinated veterinarians’ perceptions of COVID-19 disease and vaccines.

SAMPLE

2,721 (14%) of 19,654 randomly sampled AVMA members.

PROCEDURES

A survey of AVMA members was conducted between June 8 and June 18, 2021. Information was collected on COVID-19 experience, vaccination intention, and perceptions of COVID-19 disease and vaccines.

RESULTS

A total of 2,721 AVMA members completed the survey. Most respondents reported receiving a COVID-19 vaccine (89% [2,428/2,721]). Most unvaccinated respondents disagreed with concerns about contracting (67% [196/292]) or being harmed by (65% [187/287]) COVID-19 but agreed with concerns about short- (79% [228/290]) and long-term (89% [258/289]) side effects of COVID-19 vaccines. Over 91% (268/292) did not agree that COVID-19 vaccine benefits outweigh the risk. Although 83% (244/293) of unvaccinated respondents reported being unlikely to get a COVID-19 vaccine, 47% (137/291) agreed they would be more likely if they knew people vaccinated without serious side effects. Perceptions of COVID-19 disease severity and susceptibility, beliefs about COVID-19 vaccine benefits, and barriers and facilitators to COVID-19 vaccination varied with vaccination intention.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results of the AVMA survey suggested that COVID-19 vaccination was widespread among veterinarians in June 2021. Understanding unvaccinated respondents’ health beliefs about COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines may facilitate veterinarian vaccination participation. Veterinarians who abstained from COVID-19 vaccination cited concerns about the safety, efficacy, and necessity of COVID-19 vaccines. Our results suggested that demonstrating vaccine safety and a favorable risk-to-benefit ratio of vaccination may help reduce vaccine hesitancy and increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among veterinarians.
ESMGFZ Products for Earth Rotation Prediction
Authors: Dill Robert , Dobslaw Henryk , Thomas Maik
Published: January 2023

The Earth System Modelling Group of GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (ESMGFZ) provides geodetic products for gravity variations, Earth rotation excitations, and Earth surface deformations related to mass redistributions and mass loads in the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial water storage. Earth rotation excitation compiled as effective angular momentum (EAM) functions for each Earth subsystem (atmosphere, ocean, continental hydrology) are important for Earth rotation prediction. Especially the 6-day forecasts extending the model analysis runs offer essential information for the improvement of ultra-short-term Earth rotation predictions. In addition to the individual effective angular momentum function of each subsystem, ESMGFZ calculates a combined EAM prediction product. Adjusted to the official Earth orientation parameter (EOP) products IERS 14C04 and Bulletin A, this EAM prediction product allows to extrapolate the polar motion and Length-of-Day parameter time series for 90 days into the future via the Liouville equation. ESMGFZ submits such an EOP prediction to the 2nd EOPPCC campaign.
Earth Rotation Parameters Prediction and Climate Change Indicators in it
Authors: Xu Xueqing , Zhou Yonghong , XU Cancan
Published: January 2023

As one of the participants in the Second Earth Orientation Parameters Prediction Comparison Campaign (2nd EOP PCC), we submitted two data files. One is 365 days’ predictions into the future for Earth orientation parameters (EOP) (the position parameters Px and Py, the time parameters UT1-UTC and length of day changes ΔLOD), processed by the traditional least-square and autoregressive (LS + AR) model. Another is 90 days’ predictions by the combined least-square and convolution method (LS + Convolution), with effective angular momentum (EAM) from Earth System Modelling GeoForschungsZentrum in Potsdam (ESMGFZ). Results showed that the LS + Convolution method performed better than the LS + AR model in short-term EOP predictions within 10 days, while the traditional LS + AR model presented higher accuracy in medium-term predictions over 10–90 days. Furthermore, based on the climate change information in Earth’s rotation (mainly in the interannual variations of LOD), the climate change indicators are investigated with ΔLOD observations and long-term predictions. After two intermediate La Nina events were detected in the climate-related ΔLOD observations during the period of 2020–2022, another stronger La Nina phenomenon is indicated in the climate-related ΔLOD long-term predictions.
Improved Prediction of Polar Motions by Piecewise Parameterization
Authors: Wu Yuanwei , Zhao Xin , Yang Xinyu
Published: January 2023

On seanonal timescale, the variation of Earth rotation is mainly regulated by angular momentum exchanges between the solid Earth and the fluidal atmosphere, ocean and hydrosphere. In the 2nd EOP PCC, we developed Dill2019’s method for polar motion prediction, using piecewise autoagressive parameters. The maximum prediction errors within 90 days are 36 and 16 mas for polar motion x and y components, respectively. Compared with Bulletin A, the mean absolute error of polar motion y prediction is improved by 20% in all timescale, and with a maximum improvement of 49% on the 5th day. Whereas, for polar motion x, the performance is slightly better (2% - 8%) within 30 days but worse (−7%~ −19%) within 30~90 days. We found that the prediction accuracy is very sensitive to the quality of the angular momentum data. For example, on average, the prediction of polar motion y is around 2 times better than polar motion x. In addition, we found the accuracy of 30-90 days prediction is dramatically decreased in the year 2020. We suspect that such deterioration might be due to the pandemic of coronavirus COVID-19, which suppressed global airline activities by more than 60%, then result in a lose of air-borne meteorological data, which are important for weather forecast.

Published: January 2023

The highest-quality peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] are cultivated in areas with sunny summers, therefore the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina is a favourable region for their production. Peaches are usually consumed fresh, canned, or dried and represent a great source of the essential nutrients. Osmotic dehydration is a well-known preservation method that relies on mild temperatures and requires low energy. Research conducted at the Faculty of Technology Novi Sad has introduced sugar beet molasses as an efficient osmotic solution for drying various food samples. In this research, peach samples were osmotically treated in sugar beet molasses, and the goal was to investigate the impact of different solution concentrations, temperatures, and immersion time on the mass transfer rate and the efficiency of treatment. The results have shown that the mass transfer rate during the osmotic treatment of peach samples in sugar beet molasses was the most intensive at the beginning of the process, at the highest solution concertation, and at the highest temperature. In accordance with the results, diffusion occurred most rapidly during the first three hours of the process; therefore, processing time can be reduced.

Authors: Majumder S. , Chakraborty S. , Ghosh A. , Bhattacharya M.
Published: January 2023

Tongba, a millet-based fermented ethnic drink of the Limbu and other Nepalese-Tibetan communities, is consumed in the highlands of Singalila Ridge of the Himalayas and the adjoining high-altitude places of Nepal, the northern and north-eastern parts of India, and the Tibetan Plateau and is valued for its ethnomedicinal properties. In this research, the GCMS-based metabolite profiling of an authentic sample of tongba was carried out, identifying various bioactive metabolites. Several biologically active components, such as glycoside, amino acids, fatty acids, and other long-chain hydrocarbon derivatives, terpenoids and phenol, were detected in tongba, which have therapeutic properties against various high-altitude illnesses. Probable biosynthesis routes of those compounds in tongba’s broth were also studied, where many similarities were noticed with the Japanese beverage sake. The key finding of this metabolomic investigation was the detection of bioactive ethyl-α-D-glucopyranoside and cyclo(L-Leu-L-Pro) with abundant peak areas, which confirmed tongba’s therapeutic importance in high-altitude illnesses and its metabolomic similarities with sake.
Nanofluids in Zigzag Elliptical Tube Heat Exchanger: A Design Perspective
Authors: Alammari Sumaia Bugumaa Abubaker , Zaini Muhammad Abbas Ahmad
Published: January 2023

Nanofluids contain nanometer-sized particles in suspension to enhance heat transfer by increasing the thermal conductivity. This paper provides an overview of particle size and volume fraction of nanofluids, and their roles in enhancing the heat transfer. Often, the transfer of heat is enhanced by dispersed particles with small diameter and high concentration despite some debate about the governing effects. The design of elliptical cross-section and zigzag tube also sheds insight into augmenting heat transfer for future research directions and applications.
Analysis of Tunnel Ventilation During Tunnelling - A Case Study
Authors: Słota Krzysztof , Słota Zbigniew
Published: January 2023

In the case of tunnelling by mining methods, mining regulations apply to the design of ventilation. The most important criteria to be taken into account when calculating the minimum air flow rate in a tunnel are the air velocity, the multiple exchange of air during one hour, not exceeding the permissible concentrations of gases and dust, and ensuring appropriate climatic conditions. In this paper, an analysis of ventilation methods is carried out, taking into account the parameters of fans and ventilation ducts. Changing the diameter of the duct line from 1,000 to 1,400 mm results in a 3-4-fold reduction in fan power. Adding a second twin installation reduces the ventilation power requirement fourfold. Making the duct lines parallel increases the ventilation power requirement by about 30-50% compared to two duct installations.
Asset Management. The Point of View of the Users’ Costs
Authors: Almeida José C.
Published: January 2023

Bridges by their nature are structures that absorb a large amount of resources. For the promoter, usually public entities, the biggest share of the investment is made when the new structures are raised. However, as will be shown in the study presented in this paper, user costs are often much higher than direct costs and may even be higher by an order of magnitude. In addition to the costs resulting from maintenance/rehabilitation interventions, there are also environmental damages due to the pollution caused by the vehicles. The presented methodology will be applied to a case study where the global costs are highlighted and determined considering the scenario in which there are no disturbances in the circulation of vehicles and when they occur due to maintenance and rehabilitation works.
Using open data to reveal factors of urban susceptibility to natural hazards and man-made hazards: case of Milan and Sofia
Authors: Vavassori Alberto , De Jesús Pugliese Viloria Angelly , Brovelli Maria Antonia
Published: January 2023

Multi-hazard mapping in urban areas is relevant for preventing and mitigating the impact of nature- and human-induced disasters while being a challenging task as different competencies have to be put together. Artificial intelligence models are being increasingly exploited for single-hazard susceptibility mapping, from which multi-hazard maps are ultimately derived. Despite the remarkable performance of these models, their application requires the identification of a list of conditioning factors as well as the collection of relevant data and historical inventories, which may be non-trivial tasks. The objective of this study is twofold. First, based on a review of recent publications, it identifies conditioning factors to be used as an input to machine and deep learning techniques for singlehazard susceptibility mapping. Second, it investigates open datasets describing those factors for two European cities, namely Milan (Italy) and Sofia (Bulgaria) by exploiting local authorities’ databases. Identification of the conditioning factors was carried out through the review of recent publications aiming at hazard mapping with artificial intelligence models. Two indicators were conceived to define the relevance of each factor. A first research result consists of a relevance-sorted list of conditioning factors per hazard as well as a set of open and free access data describing several factors for Milan and Sofia. Based on data availability, a feasibility analysis was carried out to investigate the possibility to model hazard susceptibility for the two case studies as well as for the limit case of a city with no local data available. Results show major differences between Milan and Sofia while pointing out Copernicus services’ datasets as a valuable resource for susceptibility mapping in case of limited local data availability. Achieved outcomes have to be intended as preliminary results, as further details shall be disclosed after the discussion with domain experts.
The Neighborhood Impact of Industrial Blight: A Path Analysis
Authors: Banai Reza , Momeni Ehsan
Published: January 2023

Historically, industry shaped the space-economy of the American city, a major source of employment opportunity for residents that selected housing nearby or within a convenient or affordable commuting distance. However, the contemporary American city is structurally characterized by abandoned, blighted, vacant industrial properties due to urban expansion, deindustrialization and the suburbanization of both jobs and population. The urban studies literature rarely documents the neighborhood impact of industrial blight akin to studies of residential blight. We determine the proximity-effect of industrial blight on the neighborhood thought of not as an isolated and closed entity, but as a connected and open entity within the city and the region. Unlike studies confined to the property value impact, we determine Pearson correlations of industrial blight and vacancy expansively with the socio-economic and physical characteristics of neighborhoods. We use path analysis to determine direct, indirect, and total neighborhood impact of industrial blight and vacancy. The census block group and parcel-level geographic information system (GIS) provide our principal sources of data. The block group geography contains the neighborhood as a fundamental spatial unit. We determine how the neighborhood impact varies with distance from the blighted, vacant industrial property.
Spatial distribution of military bases and power of interest groups in an emergent democracy
Authors: Pernica Bohuslav , Ženka Jan
Published: January 2023

Policies in liberal democracies can never be fully sheltered from the influence of interest groups. This is especially true for the flawed or immature democracies that can be found also in the post-communist world. In this study, we argue that the progress of democratization in Czechia has been accompanied by a growing influence of interest groups (local/regional governments, political parties, industrial corporations) on national defence strategy. Focusing on the spatial policy of military base distribution, the study documents deviations from a rational strategy of restructuring and relocations of military bases declared by the General Staff in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s in response to a changing geopolitical situation. The content analysis of the interviews with former actors of the defence planning and media analysis showed that one-third of current Czech military bases experienced an influence of interested groups.
Are Esports Players Inactive? A Systematic Review
Authors: Voisin Nicolas , Besombes Nicolas , Laffage-Cosnier Sébastien
Published: January 2023

As esports grow, public authorities have many concerns about the potential negative health effects of this “sedentary” practice. This work proposes a systematic review on the links between esports and physical activity (PA). The research questions guiding this review are as follows: (1) What is the PA level of esports players? (2) Do data exist regarding the influence of participation in esports on players’ PA? (3) Based on these findings, what future research questions should be asked and what studies should be conducted? Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed that esports players appeared to be active, exceeding World Health Organization recommendations, in 13 studies and inactive or low-active in four studies. The different populations of players do not appear to have the same degree of PA. High-level, professional, and/or supervised players appear to be more physically active. However, some data are inconsistent, and our review highlights several biases and methodological limitations. Additionally, while we have found no studies providing data on the influence of esports on PA, five studies highlight several factors that could push players to engage in PA. Finally, further research is needed using objective measurement tools and characterizing and accurately distinguishing between players’ levels of expertise and the type of game played. The nature and modalities of the PA also need to be clarified. We encourage supplementing these quantitative data with qualitative data obtained through interviews to provide a description and understanding of the influence of esports on PA engagement, re-engagement, retention, and withdrawal.
Retrospective Analysis of 101 Canine Lymphoma Cases Diagnosed in Surgical biopsies in Latvia (2011–2020)
Authors: Houtana Ilze Matise-Van , Geine-Romanova Lilija
Published: January 2023

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor commonly diagnosed in dogs representing 7–24% of all canine tumors. There has been no previous studies focused on characterization of canine lymphoma cases in Latvia. The goals of this retrospective study were to determine prevalence and characteristics of lymphoma cases among biopsy submissions to a private veterinary pathology service that receives approximately 80% of all biopsy submission in Latvia and to compare this data with published canine lymphoma reviews. Data were retrieved to select records from Latvian dogs diagnosed with lymphoma between 2011 and 2020, determining characteristics of dogs and types of lymphoma based on anatomic distribution and cellular morphology. In a ten-year study period, diagnosis of lymphoma constituted 1–4% of surgical biopsy submissions each year without upwards trend. Affected dogs were middle age (median 8 years; range 2–13), with a slight male predominance (58%). The majority of dogs (19%) were mixed breed. Top 3 affected dog breeds were Rottweiler, American Staffordshire terrier and French bulldog with 6–7 cases in each breed. Multicentric form of lymphoma predominated (55%) followed by alimentary and mucocutaneous lymphoma (21% and 14%, respectively). Within multicentric form of lymphoma two thirds were intermediate to large cell lymphomas. Included in this group would be diffuse large B cell lymphomas, the most common subtype of canine lymphomas; however, lack of immunohistochemical testing precluded complete lymphoma classification according to WHO guidelines. Results of this study correlate well with the previously published results and provide important information to Latvian small animal veterinarians and pathologists.

Published: January 2023

Bumblebee activity interaction with solar irradiation, solar irradiation and HPS lighting irradiation, the HPS effect of photoperiod, day temperature and hive density were assessed with tomato fruit weights in a commercial tomato glass greenhouse in 2020–2021. Pollination activity was measured by observing ten randomly chosen cv. ‘Beorange’ tomato plants and by counting bumblebee bruised tomato flowers. MANOVA was conducted between factors and bee activity, followed by Pearson’s correlation. A Mann-Whitney U test was calculated to determine the significance between tomato flower bruising levels and fruit weights, followed by Cliff’s delta (d). Pollination activity decreased mainly in December and January when solar irradiation decreased to below 110 J cm−2 day−1. Bumblebee activity was significantly affected by solar irradiation with HPS lighting (p<0.001; p<0.01). There was a significant correlation between bumblebee activity and solar irradiation (r= 0.75; p<0.05), and solar irradiation with HPS lighting (r= 0.70; p<0.05). There was no correlation between bumblebee activity and fruit weights (r= −0.20; p<0.05). Bruised flowers had significantly greater fruit weight increases (165.7 g) compared to unbruised flowers (123.4 g) (d= 0.12; p<0.05). Bee activity rates between 60% to 80% can be concluded as an effective rate for tomato growers. Bumblebees need at least 110–154 J cm−2 day−1 of solar irradiation to achieve a high pollination activity rate in temperate climate zones during the winter season.
Lake Kisezers: analysis of factors influencing morphometry and hydrological regime
Authors: Dumpis Janis , Lagzdiņš Ainis , Šics Ivo
Published: January 2023

This study describes dynamics in hydrology, morphometry, and water mass movement in Lake Kisezers. The analysis of Lake Kisezers’ morphometry dynamics according to the rapidly changing environment has been carried out. The determination of dynamics in morphometry comes before understanding potential exploitation and environmental sustainability of water body. Lake Kisezers is situated in a densely populated area. Without understanding and deciphering all possible environmental factors influencing Lake Kisezers, the water body can degrade and become of poor environmental quality. Such changes can lead to irreversible changes in the lake ecosystem and degradation of the surrounding landscape. This study aims to identify and explain the elements that influence Lake Kisezers’ hydrological regime, catchment area, and bathymetry. Lake Kisezers is hardly influenced body of water with rapid hydrological and morphometric dynamics. The research is possible due to extensive data availability and the importance of the water body location. Lake Kisezers affects the city of Riga and its surrounding area with a danger of flooding and decreasing land exploration potential. This study results in better understanding in the factors influencing hydrology and morphometry in Lake Kisezers and possible environmental sustainability endangerment in the future. The main impact factor is the connectivity to the River Daugava and its unique hydrological regime. For Lake Kisezers, environmental balance is necessary to continue research and develop a hydrological change model. This study was conducted with fieldwork data and open-source cartographic, geospatial, water level, and mass movement data. The research seeks to understand what is necessary to maintain environmental sustainability in Lake Kisezers.

Published: January 2023

The aim of the publication is to develop theoretical and methodological foundations and practical recommendations for determining the efficiency of biotechnological processes with the subsequent justification of technical parameters to ensure a high level of viability of bio-objects. In the course of the conducted scientific research, the criteria of quality function were defined and formalised, in accordance with which the conditions of biotechnological processes of laser division of embryo were formulated as a single case in the realisation of the economic mechanism of biotechnology. This makes it possible to ensure a high level of cattle (cattle) productivity, reduce the time for the reproduction of livestock and reduce the costs of movement, trade and transportation of cattle. The quality function of the biotechnological process of laser division of embryo is formulated on the basis of criterion of non-exceeding of the temperature field in cells of blastomeres and the predetermined acceptable value that allowed one to take into account the main parameters and to propose the criterion of biotechnological process optimisation. As a promising task for the development of the bioeconomy as an economic mechanism in implementing biotechnologies, the necessity of determining the quality function by formalising the integral indicator of efficiency has been established, This enables one to ensure a high level of commercialisation of biotechnologies, to increase the productivity of agricultural animals, and to suggest alternative methods for the quick renewal of livestock.

RATIONAL WATER USE AND WATER CONSUMPTION IN THE PROCESS OF INTENSIFICATION OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES: ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC ASPECTS
Authors:   Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, Kychko Iryna
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Within the article, the sources of water pollution of Ukraine as a result of the intensification of agricultural activities in Ukraine are systematized and substantiated, adjusting measures on water use to prevent the deterioration of water quality, negative consequences of irrational use of water resources by the agricultural sector are considered. It is argued that deterioration factors of the hydrosphere state as a result of the agricultural sector can be significantly reduced by using the following actions: combination of crop production with animal production, which eliminates the problem of waste, promotes more efficient use of the fodder use; circulating water supply system, in which the used water after cleaning is not discharged into the environment, but is used repeatedly; local seeds for crops production and local breeds in animal husbandry; bans or restrictions on the use of the plants’ protection products insanitary zones of the water supply sources; limiting the maximum rates of the pesticides consumption, frequency and timing of their application in organic production; drip irrigation; collecting rainwater for irrigation from built in own reservoirs; cultivation of agricultural crops that are suitable for the climate; practicing a mulching system to preserve moisture in the soil; actual functioning of water protection zones along rivers and water objects, reduction of water losses during transportation to water consumers, creation of artificial reserves of underground water due to filtration losses near bulk reservoirs and main channels, which should increase the productivity of water intakes, etc. It is determined that for the introduction of rational waterconsumption and water use in long term, the improvement of the environment quality is possible by greening the needs in order to eliminate the deformed value system. The pace, structure and culture of the consumption should be formed in accordance with ecological restrictions, reducing the load on the ecosystem, balanced consumption, finding a balance between the economic well-being of the current generation and the availability of quality water resources for future generations
