West Java is one of the largest mango production areas in Indonesia. Yet, there is no proper policy and institution supporting West Java to have competitive advantage in national and international market. On the other side, the demand of mango is increasing in line with the improvement in the income of the society as well. The proper supporting agriculture institution is required in order to create a link between the market and the producer which, in turn, will improve the quantity, quality and continuity of the mango supply in the market and raise the mango farmers’ income level. This research is focused on the mango farmer and aimed to strengthen the partnership of the supporting institution in order to involve the farmer in the modern and global market as well as develop a strategic policy to improve the competitive advantage of West Java’s mango. The methods used in this qualitative research are descriptive and dynamic system analysis. The result shows that there are partnerships take place between farmers and big suppliers, farmers and exporters, as well as farmers and industries. In maintaining the sustainable partnership model, factoring policy and socialization on the use of the off-seasons technology are required to improve its productivity which, in turn, will influence the income level of the mango farmer.

This paper presents the analysis of the evolution of pig carcasses classification in Romania by the method: Zwei Punkte (ZP), during 2009-2015. This method of classification is generally used in low-capacity slaughterhouses, which in the previous year sacrificed less than 200 pig heads /week. The data were gathered from the national classification commission and from the specialty inspectors. The data were processed, analyzed and interpreted as to the number of pigs carcasses classified by this method. Also, the evolution of the quality of the carcasses classified by manual method ZP was also analyzed. The quality of the carcasses was assessed on the basis of the following indicators: the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer, the thickness of the Gluteus medius muscle and the percentage of lean meat in the carcass, as well of their correlation. The best quality of carcasses classified by the ZP method was recorded in 2014 with an average of 60.0% lean meat. During the analyzed period the carcass quality has a high constancy without any special fluctuations.

For our country, tourism is an important sector. With the resources we train and we undertake interconnections with other branches of the national economy, signifies an important factor in sustainable development. For the existence of quality tourism it is essential to apply some concrete measures for sustainable development. The interest in tourism is justified in all countries by the economic idea that identifies a particular type of income, thus participating in the external balance of payments but also to create important jobs. The primary role of capital investment in tourism activity, entrepreneurial initiative, is logically regarded as sustainable economic solution to achieve a gross domestic product increase in the overall context of sustainable economic development. The increase in capacity of the activity of tourism will propagate an effect of increasing the income and the gross value added. The dissemination of the results shows in a comparative form the real levels of the direct contribution of tourism to the gross domestic product and the levels estimated on the basis of the linear regression equation as well as the series and the levels of the variable waste. The model developed discusses and supports the statistical arguments, the primary role of capital investment in tourism activity, the entrepreneurial initiative as consistent economic solution to secure an increase in gross domestic product in the overall context of sustainable economic development.

In the Republic of Moldova emigration and its incomes have an important role in determining the evolutions of economic and social processes and a major influence on the country's economy. Despite this major impact on development, still emigration and its consequences have not been properly addressed. Research shows that in the future remittances that emigrants will repatriate to the country with their eventual return will have an even greater impact on the savings level. According to the analysis of the statistical data, we try to quantify the impact of remittances on the main economic aggregates, and we demonstrate that, even without direct intervention by the authorities, emigrant incomes have a major role in the development of the country. The applied research is based on the general principles of the complex systems analysis of: the system analysis method, the diagnostic analysis method, the methods of data analysis using statistical techniques: graphs and tabulations, as well as consecrated methods: scientific abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, observation, reasoning, comparison and grouping.

The goal of our researches is in bringing the scientific arguments of the necessity of including the biologic parameters, mainly of the invertebrates in the soil, in the evaluation studies of the impact upon the environment and the national strategies of monitoring of the soils quality. If the chemical analysis measure the quantity of the polluters, the invertebrates in the soil, especially the insects, reflect intensively the anthropologic influences, emphasizing the intensifications or inhibitions of their activity under the stress conditions. The study upon the invertebrates’ fauna was carried on in Copsa Mica area (Sibiu County) in the corn agricultural ecosystem. The properties of the soil in this area are strongly changed by the industrial activity as a result of an accumulation of great quantities of heavy metals (lead, cadmium). The researches in this area are a part of a greater study upon the invertebrates’ fauna in the corn culture soil of the Sibiu County, researches that took place during 2011-2013. The technology applied in this area is a semi intensive one. For collecting the invertebrates there were used two methods: drilling the soil and pitfall traps. There were identified invertebrates belonging to 4 classes (Annelida, Arachnida, Chilopoda, Insecta) and 11 orders (Haplotaxida, Aranea, Acari, Lithobiomorpha, Geophilomorpha, Collembola, Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera).
