Waste water quality indicators can provide information on the degree of pollution that waste water can have on the rivers where they are discharged. In this study I tried to analyze the quality of the waste water with significant contribution to the pollutants that reach Borcea branch, coming from Călărași Municipality Waste Water Treatment Station. Waste water quality indicators, which can suggest their purification, were: chemical oxygen consume, biochemical oxygen consume, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and suspended solids. The analyzed water quality indicators are included in the limits imposed by the norms in force, namely NTPA 001, but sometimes, because of the thermal regime, with oscillating temperatures and humidity, nitrogen and phosphorus exceed the limits. In the cold seasons of the year, there is a poor functioning of the biological step, leading to a low nutritional nitrogen pollution of Borcea branch. The efficiency of the treatment station, analyzed for the five indicators is good, ranging from 74.78% to 95.24%.

This paper aims to investigate the training requirements of diverse target groups engaged with logistics and supply chain management in the agri-food industry focusing on cereals and rice, and deploy the findings for the development of an e-training program. A field research was conducted with personal interviews to mainly logistics department supervisors of more than 150 firms, in order to detect gaps in their skills and competencies on the application of green practices in the agri-food supply chain. As a result, an e-training program was developed to support trainees to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field, and in turn to increase agri-food supply chain effectiveness and competitiveness. This paper also presents the curriculum content development, which was based on training needs analysis. The utilisation of the Moodle platform for the curriculum content building and the e-training program implementation and delivery, is also discussed.

A very actual problem for the Republic of Moldova represents the migration processes of rural population, expressed by workforce flows in this region. Along with the free circulation of the workforce to more prosperous countries, migration flows provoke economic imbalances in country development. In this paper, the authors have set the objective to determine the key factors that influence the migration level in the Republic of Moldova, especially that of the rural sector, through the prism of econometric methods. The typology of econometric methods used by economic sciences is extremely vast. The more and more often use of these models in economic phenomena investigation are due to significant progresses made in the field of estimation methods of models’ parameters and that of verification tests, on which these are based on and, last but not least, that of the use of electronic calculators that allow the operative solving of the most complex economic problems. In conclusion, the authors propose a model of econometric regression between the selected variables that have a maximal level of influence on the rural migration situation in the Republic of Moldova, justified by elasticity coefficients values.

The way in which an entrepreneur thinks and acts is a defining factor for the viability of a business in the field of life sciences. The skills of the successful entrepreneur, innate and acquired, are an important argument in this process. To evaluate the viability of these concepts in Romania, during 2014-2016, we conducted a survey based on questionnaires, involving 104 people from universities, research institutes and hospitals. They had to answer questions such as how they react when they have difficult tasks to accomplish, in which way the opinions of others are reflected about the decisions they make, if they can have in the same time, two responsibilities, as the Company Manager and as the Project Team Leader, and if they are able to coordinate a project with multi-disciplinary teams. Results obtained showed that 56% of the respondents when faced with difficult tasks are absolutely certain to be able to achieve them, and only 44% of them answered that they can generally solve them. Regarding how other people's views on their own decisions are reflected, 38% of the respondents strongly agreed that the opinions of others persons do not matter when they make a decision. Other 48% answered that are agreed that they take decisions are made without taking account the opinions of others. Only 13% of respondents answered that the own decisions are based on the opinions of those around them. Regarding the ability to do two things at the same time , 74% of the respondents agreed that they could do this and only 18% said that they do not able to make this. Regarding the ability to coordinate the work of multidisciplinary teams, 78% of answers were positively. Here, only 13% of answers were negative. The analysis indicates that the personal skills are important for entrepreneurships. Persons who are passionate about what they are doing, and who have a deeply knowledge in different areas of the life sciences, and which are able to coordinate multidisciplinary teams have greater chances to succeed as entrepreneurs for innovative SME.

Triticale is known with its high grain yield potential. This man-made plant is interesting also because its nutritional value which exceeds those of wheat and rye. Triticale breeding studies focus on productivity, green mass, nutritional content, etc. These studies showed the importance of nitrogen fertilizer optimization for triticale. This article focuses on the economic issues of such experiments and provides a systematic approach for studying these aspects. First, the production function is constructed, estimated and the main issues related to this process are discussed. Second, the maximum yield is determined, considering: the variety of triticale; the differences in the regions where the experiments were conducted; and the weather conditions. Third, the yield that maximizes the profit is calculated using the current prices of triticale and nitrogen fertilizer. Finally, the demand for nitrogen fertilizer is estimated. The presented frame can be expanded and to include more parameters.

The paper aims to analyze the evolution of the dairy sector of the Republic of Moldova, by presenting the latest trends in the sector and a wide analysis of the sector since 1990. Research has been carried out based on statistical data provided by the National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova and data accessed from UN Comtrade database. The main analyzed indicators refer to number of dairy cows, milk production, imports and exports of dairy products. Therefore, the number of milking cows has diminished by about 3.6 times between 1990 and 2017, milk production declined by 3.4 times from 1,503 to 443 thousand tons in the same period, while the productivity, after a period of decline in 1990-1995, has stabilized between 1996 and 2004 and has started to rise since 2005. At the same time, the balance of foreign trade in dairy products is deeply negative for all categories of dairy products. Conclusions of the paper present a difficult situation in the dairy sector, with potential prospects of recovery as a result of paying a special attention to this sector by the governmental institutions.

The role of the balance sheet in the financial diagnosis of the company derives from the fact that it serves to determine the financial security margin through the working capital, which allows the company to face the short-term risks, guaranteeing its solvency. Based on these considerations, we elaborated this paper based on the information gathered from a commercial company with an agricultural profile by emphasizing the balance indicators based on the financial balance, namely: the net working capital, the working capital requirement, the net treasury, the net situation of the company. The sources of information for this paper were the company annual financial and accounting statements for the period 2015-2017. As a method, the comparative financial analysis was used, more specifically, the analysis of the company results based on the company balance sheet. The positive and growing net position highlights a sound economic management as a result of reinvesting part of the net profit and other capital items.

The purpose of the paper was to analyze the current state of development of cluster activity in the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of Russia, to identify the main constraints and to develop proposals for enhancing the formation of clusters. In preparing the article, there were used information from the Ministries of Economic Development and Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the Russian and European cluster observatories, scientific works of domestic scientists on the topic. The following methods of scientific research were used: statistical-economic, monographic, abstract-logical, design-constructive. At present, the active processes of developing cluster activities are underway in the Russian agro-industrial complex. But not all of the initial set of registered projects for creating clusters in the agro-industrial complex were implemented. It is revealed that the main constraints on the wide spreading of clusters are: methodological flaws, non-optimal segregation of duties at the public and private levels, underdevelopment of the regulatory framework, the lack of a common mechanism of formation and a model of cluster functioning at the regional level. In order to compensate for these shortcomings, a mechanism of formation (order) and a model (organizational structure) of the functioning of agro-industrial clusters are proposed. The introduction of the mechanism of cluster formation, due to the savings from optimization of costs and processes of commodity circulation, will allow to reduce the cost of production and increase the efficiency of economic interactions of enterprises.
