The intellectual capital in its dynamic approach focusses on the development of the entropic model, which expresses the dynamic transformation of the theoretical intellectual capital in a concrete and useful intellectual capital. The aim of the present paper is to perform a detailed analysis of the intellectual capital inside the SMES of the North-Est region of the country. It also speaks about the influence of the main integrators of the intellectual capital, divided into three elements: the cognitive, the emotional and the spiritual capital, about how they are acting as a field of forces upon the basic components of the intellectual capital, such as knowledge, intelligence and values and how they determine the generation and development of the intellectual capital in the eastern analyzed SMEs. Both jobs and teams inside the analyzed SMEs are stimulating the development of the intellectual skills, which reduces the need for involving the external experts, by appealing only those specialists who could transform the tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. The organizational communication provides the necessary information and contributes to the establishment of a fair climate and of the effective relationships between managers and employees, between work mates, and also with the people outside the organization.

This paper focuses on the optimization of traffic flow on a road network, modeled by a fluid-dynamic approach. Three cost functionals that measure average velocity, average traveling time, and total flux of cars, are considered. First, such functionals are optimized for two simple networks that consist of a single junction: one with two incoming and one outgoing roads (junctions of 2 × 1 type), and the other with one incoming and two outgoing roads (junctions of 1 × 2 type). The optimization is made with respect to right of way parameters and traffic distribution coefficients, obtaining an explicit solution. Then, through simulations, the traffic behavior for complex networks is studied. The main result is that the local optimization ensures a very good result also for the complete network. This is shown by the case study of Re di Roma Square, a big traffic circle of the urban network of Rome.

The aim of this paper is to outline current foundations for sustainable landscape management in the Vilhelmina Model Forest, northwest Sweden. A case study revealed that the remaining patches of undisturbed or less disturbed boreal forest ecosystems comprise multiple values and, thus, constitute the basis for landscape planning. By identifying these patches, it is also possible to construct a spatial planning infrastructure for implementing sustainable management and land use. A more comprehensive toolbox needs to be developed, however, including monitoring and inventory schemes for relevant biophysical and socio-economic data, better temporal resolution for cause and effect analyses, and functioning scale-flexible planning and governance instruments.
