Due to the climate change and the effect of the resulting warming up the amount of snow is declining in the past few years, so the chances for the autumn sowings to be winterkilled are growing and the amount of water stored in the soil is also significantly reducing. The intensive agricultural production is trying to compensate the conditions for the altered production by changing methods of soil cultivation and building up irrigation systems. The long-term aim of choosing the right method of soil cultivation is the protection of the soil structure and surface, and also the beneficial affecting of its biological activity, moisture and air circulation. The experiment was set in Szarvas, on the experimental area of Szent István University, Faculty of Agricultural and Economical Studies, organised as 5 by 2 repetition. By the planned experiments we were seeking answers for the ways of possible optimisation of soil cultivation in order to reach the highest possible value of water management for the soil, to improve the hydrating ability of the soil and also to provide sustainable agricultural production and to reduce the effects of farming which are hazardous to the water quality to the lowest possible level. The aim of our experiment is the reasonable utilisation, protection and preserving the diverse abilities of functionof the soil resources as parts of our most important natural resources. Within the framework of our monocultural duration experiment we examine the plant physiological and harvest effects of the various soil cultivating systems, deep disintegrating, deep ploughing, semi-deep ploughing, disc ploughing and strip-till cultivation by applying irrigated and non-irrigated cultural techniques. The results of non-rotating soil cultivating techniques show that they have beneficial effects on the water and nutrient management of the soil. The other technology we applied is the strip till technology. The advantage of strip cultivation that instead of the whole area one only cultivates the line/strip. In the cultivated strip the best possible soil conditions are provided for the plant by preparing seedbeds, sowing and fertilizing only in the line. We were trying to find an answer for the relationship between soil resistance measured on methods of soil cultivation and the estimated average production. The Variance analysis shows significant results, the soil cultivating method influences the soil resistance at 40,231%, and also the expected harvest.

Nowadays, there are some successful forage laboratory global networks owned privately. Their strategies have been extremely successful in the past decades, and have shown a similar pattern worth examining for its effectiveness. In recent study, the business and corporate strategy of international forage laboratory networks (Eurofins Agro, CVAS, Rock River, DairyLand, DairyOne) have been analysed. Porter’s five-factor model and the SWOT analysis have been applied to find out the key factors of the forage laboratory network building strategy.

The transition management approach can help to improve municipal solid waste management in individual cities and city regions. The obsolete technological solutions of waste management cannot support efficient and sustainable urban waste management processes. We would like to present a possible solution to development of the municipal solid waste management system in a high population density megapolis, Hanoi (Vietnam). We examined the development opportunities at three strategic levels (governmental, enterprise and personal levels). We have analyzed the system at strategic, tactical, operational and reflexive levels also, using a transition matrix. Five development aspects and technological directions have been identified, and all of them could be applied at the three decision levels. We came to the conclusion that intervention is needed at all three levels. Based on our results, we have made proposals for the transformation of Hanoi solid waste management structure in the overall organizational structure.

This research applied a qualitative research approach in order to define the level of involvement of South Korea in the circular economy. As a case study, a strategy toward the circular economy of Samsung, one of the largest Korean multinational companies, was considered. The research results concluded that the country puts significant effort in order to achieve its goals in sustainable development. The main players are the government and private companies. The main means that help the country to implement the circular economy are government policies and technological development. However, the results show that it is hard to say that South Korea lives in the circular economy.

: Agricultural holdings try to survive in the fast-changing word. The agricultural production goes throw several revolutions. These revolutions motivated companies to change their business models. The digital revolution going on nowadays. Digital agriculture has emerged as a way of feeding the world sustainably using technologies and data science to optimise on-farm production and supply chains that are responsive to real-time consumer demand. The aim of this paper to identify the changes in business model by precision farming technology. The new production methods give a chance to the agricultural holdings to make ability to take advantage of new opportunities and face with the modern challenges and new requirements.

Vibrations occur in many areas ranging from heavy-duty industry over micro sensors to appliances in the private household. A key concept for limiting such vibrations is vibration control that avoids or at least minimize unintentional product behavior or negative effects on the health and safety of humans and animals. A concept for attacking vibrations in mechanical systems is outlined based on time-periodic modulation of a physical parameter in the system. This concept can be applied in parallel to existing controls and allows the artificial increase of damping transient dynamics.

This work is a comprehensive examination that analyses the machine fleet formation and machine use of plant production farms that grow sweet sorghum too by using computer aided modelling. It considers the characteristics of machines used at the production technologies of different plants and it especially focuses on the appliance of machines with the convenient capacity and level from the side of costs at different farm sizes. The survey was based on the work tasks of a “classical” crop production farm. By the technicaleconomical analysis of the production-technology of sweet sorghum it has been determined that the total production cost of this plant per hectare in case of small-scale farm size is minimum 965 EUR. Examining the large-scale production, the costs are decreasing, but they cannot be reduced under the 860 EUR/hectare level.

Employing firm’s resources in a way can satisfy the unexpected needs of customers in less costs, which helps a firm to achieve a competitive edge against competitors considers the main goal for any business director. From other side, customers would prefer to deal with firms that offer goods and services with high level of quality, reliability and those at par with international standards. This has given the birth to the concept of TQM in service sector after proofing success in industrial sectors. The aim of the paper is to investigate the level of compliance to TQM practices in Banking sector in Palestine. In the beginning researcher reviewed literature studies to develop a knowledge about TQM practices (Leadership and Human resources development & management) in specific. and try to investigate the relationship between TQM practices and bank’s efficiency. Then, researcher have prepared a questionnaire to measure the level of compliance of Palestinian banks to TQM practices. 100 questionnaires have distributed for the bank employees, who work in different positions and departments. The results showed that less concern to TQM practices in leadership system, human resource development and management. Finally, researcher recommended that banks should give more attention to motivate employees through satisfying them financially and activate their role in decision making and work in a team soul.

The objective of the present study was to monitor the soil biological parameters. We used the bean as a test plant, grown in five soils with different texture and organic-matter content and estimated them (biomass production and shoot length). The seeds of the test plants were inoculated by combined strains. Results have shown that the treatments influence the counts of microorganisms. This study, therefore, was highlighting the importance of soil physical-chemical parameters, so as to result in a successful application of the biofertilizers in the different soil-plant systems.
