We live in a world powered by information. This truth gives us the potential to master as much information as we can in order to make our activity more efficient. The development of technology gives us both the means and the capabilities to gather and analyze this large amount of information so that we can use more efficiently the limited resources that we dispose of. Basically, this paper presents a modality of modelling smart university and smart enterprise environments based on the principles of System Dynamics, the model of economic map presented in previous papers and the concept of smartness within an environment. In these terms, smart is referred to the usage of new methodologies and technologies in order to optimize the activity in a controlled economy-based or educational environment.

The paper aims at the assessment of the main effects of signing the Association Agreement on the Moldovan agricultural sector, while examining its reaction, if the Republic of Moldova would have opted for its integration in the Customs Union - Russian Federation, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. During the period 2010-2013, Republic of Moldova launched a number of trade policy development initiatives in order to ensure a more facilitating legal framework for the economic and trade relations with the key external partners. An agreement on the establishment of a free trade area in the CIS was signed in this period. Similarly, Republic of Moldova started negotiating the Association Agreement with the European Union, which was signed in June this year and has as component part the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA). The paper reveals that the signing of the Association Agreement with the EU could serve as instrument to stimulate the agricultural sector, but the DCFTA establishment will present some challenges, which are to be properly addressed, in order to exclude their turning into risks.

The necessity of monitoring and improving the management of agro-industrial sector justifies the need for the research evaluation system which is considered to be highly effective. This article describes the foreign and domestic approaches to the assessment of agricultural and agro-industrial innovations. The cost behavior analysis in case of agro-industrial technological innovations has been conducted and the efficiency of the growth in high tech production and manufacture has been evaluated. A paradoxical regularity has been revealed: with the relatively stable investments in agriculture there is a sharp reduction in the use of intellectual property. This tendency dictates the need to improve the management system of the intellectual property application. In order to solve this problem, evaluation indicators of innovation efficiency have been proposed. These indicators are based on the results of expert surveys. A methodology for monitoring the innovation efficiency in agriculture has been developed: the criteria include the level of state significance, the technical-and-economic level, the degree of availability, the cost-efficiency, the level of security. This research proposes the directions of the innovation management improvement in agricultural and agro-industrial sectors. These directions have been found on the basis of the institutional approach development and the evaluation of the systemic innovation efficiency. Improving the quality of expertise in assessing agro-industrial innovations will allow us to select the most promising innovations with high-payoff technologies. In addition, it will be taken into account when assigning subsidies according to the industry-specific and regional characteristics.

The presence of moral hazard in the use of the granted facilities in the agricultural sector is among the most important challenges of Iran's agricultural system. Given the high degree of such moral hazard in Dezful Township, in the present study the factors influencing it, has been examined in this city. In this study the binary Logit model was used and the data was obtained randomly through questionnaire from 249 farmers who were granted farm facilities in the year 2015. The study results showed that the variables like age, having occupation other than farming and the loan interest rate have a positive effect on the moral hazard and the other variables including the education level, the education major, income level, size of irrigated lands, having break period, experts visit and the degree of mechanization have negative effect on the moral hazard in farm facilities. Making the necessary predictions and implementing regular visits upon granting the facilities and considering the personal qualifications like holding agricultural related degrees are among the most important recommendations of the present study in order to reduce the moral hazard in Dezful township.

The characteristic feature of Rendzinas (Rendzic Leptosols, WRB) is the surface and profile evidence of the residual carbonate inclusions fragmented in different size and form of the initial soil rock, amorphous coarse products of eluviogenesis in the form of farinose carbonaceous dusting and, also, new formations – the fine carbonaceous material, which is not morphologically defined in solid phase of soil. The article justifies the expediency of the macromorphological research parameter usage and carbonaceous admeasurement to identify the character and development direction of the decarbonation processes and the peculiarities of carbonaceous Rendzinas profile morphogenesis on different stages of their ontogenesis.

In a world with a continuously major demographic increasing, the global economy will be oriented to a correct path „the economy of rationality and hope”, which has to ensure the world’s rapidly demand and needs for food. As an important economic branch, a sustainable agriculture must simultaneously deliver food security, environmental sustainability and economic opportunity. In such a global environment, Romanian swine farms are vertically integrated into farrowing operations, the piglets grow and are fed until they reach market weight and at the end, they are slaughtered. There are many criteria for assessing good results in an integrated pigs farm, such as the volume, structure and quality of pigs produced, present and future possibilities to improve the activity, at what cost and with what investment effort and risks. An inherent risk of a swine farm with a huge impact to profitability and financial equilibrium is represented by pig mortality. For this reason we have analysed it at a farm level, taking into account that the mortality’s rate is the main issue that characterize the management in a swine farm. The analyses were made with the aim to reduce the economic effect of mortality, to review and improve the welfare conditions for pigs, to adapt them to the requirements of modern genotypes, increasing the prolificacy with a direct impact to reduce the financial loss due to pigs death.

Women are important segment of the human population and constitute critical links between the present generation and the future. Thus investing in their well- being is of great benefit to the society. Therefore this study examined the Multidimensional well-being of women in rural Southern Region, Nigeria. The Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey data was used, 4641 women data from Southern region. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and fuzzy analysis. The mean age of women was 34 with a standard deviation of 9. Women in this region have a mean household size of 6 and a standard deviation of 3. The well-being Index for ranges from 0.01 to 0.80 with a mean value of 0.33 and standard deviation of 0.14. Most of the women had their well-being index between 0.00-0.80 while none had very high between 0.81-1.00. In ascending order of contribution, the six dimensions considered are information access, employment, education, nutrition and health, autonomy, housing and sanitation. Women of the South East rank highest in four of the six dimensions considered. These dimensions are employment, health and nutrition, autonomy and information access. The condition of South-South women is best in two dimensions; housing and sanitation, education. The women of South-West zone are worse off than their counterparts in other zones in all the dimensions. South-East women were better off than their counterparts in other zones. Interventions in the area of information access, education, employment, is needed for women in Southern region.

The purpose of the paper was to analyze the relationship between milk production and dairy bovine livestock and milk price, using the multiple correlation and regression models. The reference period is the 2005-2014 decade in dairy sector of Romania and the data were provided by the National Institute of Statistics. The simple correlation coefficient RXZ = - 0.477 reflected a negative relationship between milk production and milk price, and the coefficient of correlation RYZ = - 0.676, also reflected a negative relationship between the dairy livestock and milk price. While, the total coefficient of linear multiple correlation, RZ.XY = 0.771, reflected a significant positive relationship between milk price, milk production and the dairy livestock, the partial coefficient RZX.Y = - 0.537 reflected a negative middle link between milk production and milk price, when the dairy livestock is constant. Also, the partial coefficient of multiple correlation, RZY.X = - 0.709, reflected a strong negative influence of milk production on the pair milk price and dairy livestock. The linear multiple regression had the formula: Z= - 0.00349 X + 0.08305 Y + 165.68 and the width of the confidence interval, δα/2, was 29.08. In 2015, for Xe= 50,025.45 thousand hl milk production and Ye= 1,251.23 thousand heads dairy livestock, the predicted milk price was 95.01 Lei/hl. Therefore, the multiple correlation and regression are important mathematical tools to describe the relationships between milk production, the dairy bovine livestock and milk price and predict milk price based on the other factors.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the dietary hemp seed (HS) influence on sow milk composition and piglets’ performances. Ten sows were assigned randomly, to a control group (CL) with classical diets, and an experimental group (HSL) fed with 5% HS. Their litter (N=96) were divided in two groups: HH/CH with 1.5% HS and CC/HC without HS. The HS antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH method, phenolic compound by Folin–Ciocalteu, cannabinoid by colorimetry. Milk and colostrum samples from sow were collected manually. Gas chromatography was used to determine milk fatty acids (FA) composition. Colostrum and sow milk content of protein was determined by biuret reaction and lactose concentration was determined using phosphomolybdenic reagent. The lipid specimen was heated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Then vanillin and phosphoric acid are added to yield a pink coloured product which has been measured at 530 nm and quantified using a triolein standard. Milk yield (MY) was calculated. Average daily gain (ADG) of piglets at 0 to 7 d (days) was higher (P= 0.001) for HC/HH group and tended to be higher for HC/ HH group at 0-21 d. Milk yield calculated at peak lactation was > 2.1-fold in HSL group than in CL group. The diets tend to influence milk fat content, whereas the day had a significantly higher influence for protein and lactose. The n-3-rich diet favours milk deposition of α-linolenic FA (ALA), linoleic FA (LA) and total n-3 polyunsaturated FA (PUFA). This led to a significantly lower n-6:n-3 ratio in milk of HSL group. Docosahexaenoic FA (DHA) increased 1.87 and 2.33-fold at 0-7 d and 0-21 d in HSL group. We can conclude that HS altered beneficially milk FA associated with litter performance. Significantly positively correlated with MY, milk constituents declined in time.
