Summary The conducted research concerns the issue of the impact of the prices on the volume and the productivity of labour and capital factors. The purpose of the article is to compare to what extend changes in the structures of agricultural production factors in the agriculture of selected EU countries (Poland, Hungary, Italy) in years 1999-2013 are the consequence of adaptation to price conditions on the agricultural products markets and production factors markets. The studies prove the low elasticity of production factor structures relative to the price scissors index in the all countries. However, in the case of Hungary and Poland it is particularly low, which can be connected with low capitalization of agriculture in those countries, on the one hand, and the “path dependency” effect in the context of communist past of these countries, on the other.

The change of the economic system from the socialist central planning system to the market economy required the reorganisation not only of agricultural production, but also of the organisations supporting it. In the Czech Republic, agricultural production is characterised by a dualistic structure, i.e. private farmers on the one side and corporate farms on the other. However, among both groups some had been economically more successful than others. In general, a varying adoption of production factors, i.e. land, labour and capital is identified as being of influence. Namely, their ability to collaborate with other farms which is discussed under the concept of social capital, will be analysed in this paper. Based on the findings of a survey among a sample of 62 farms by adopting factor and multiple regression analysis, it can be deduced that social capital is indeed a significant factor determining farm income.

In today’s world of swiftly increasing global economy and continuously changing international trade laws and technology exchange rate plays a pivotal role in the production, price formation, export and import of agricultural products. For many years exchange rate as an integral part of agricultural economics has been ignored. The present study was intended to investigate exchange rate as an impacting factor on the agricultural production. It also considers the researches that have been carried about the impact of the exchange rate on prices and export of agricultural products, theirs analyses and how much impact it has in the situation of Uzbekistan.

Public spaces are defined as places that should be accessible to all inhabitants without restrictions. They are spaces not only for gathering, socializing and celebrating but also for initiating discussions, protesting and demonstrating. Thus, public spaces are intangible expressions of democracy—a topic that the paper tackles its viability within the context of Alexandria, case study Al-Qaed Ibrahim square. On the one hand, Al-Qaed Ibrahim square which is named after Al-Qaed Ibrahim mosque is a sacred element in the urban fabric; whereas on the other it represents a non-religious revolutionary symbol in the Alexandrian urban public sphere. This contradiction necessitates finding an approach to study the characteristic of this square/mosque within the Alexandrian context—that is to realize the impact of the socio-political events on the image of Al-Qaed Ibrahim square, and how it has transformed into a revolutionary urban symbol and yet into a no-public space. The research revolves around the hypothesis that the political events taking place in Egypt after January 25th, 2011, have directly affected the development of urban public spaces, especially in Alexandria. Therefore methodologically, the paper reviews the development of Al-Qaed Ibrahim square throughout the Egyptian socio-political changes, with a focus on the square’s urban and emotional contextual transformations. For this reason, the study adheres to two theories: the "city elements" by Kevin Lynch and "emotionalizing the urban" by Frank Eckardt. The aim is not only to study the mentioned public space but also to figure out the changes in people’s societal behaviour and emotion toward it. Through empowering public spaces, the paper calls the different Egyptian political and civic powers to recognize each other, regardless of their religious, ethnical or political affiliations. It is a step towards replacing the ongoing political conflicts, polarization, and suppression with societal reconciliation, coexistence, and democracy.

Increasing complexity of societal questions requires participatory processes that engage with capable participants. We adopted Horellis’ stance on participation as not an isolated event but a constant communication between different groups that can be assured by using enabling tools. We applied the Capability Approach to frame a capacity-building process and understand how this framework can support a collective of entrepreneurs to become aware of their capabilities (and the impact of an ongoing urban renewal process on these capabilities). The Capability Approach emphasizes the personal and structural conditions that impact a person’s capability to choose—the conditions that affect the process of determining what a person values. The paper builds on a two year capacity-building process conducted in Genk, Belgium, and proposes a conceptual framework for building capacities, in which the process and outputs collide with ideas of choice, ability, and opportunity, notions central to the Capability Approach. The case study looks at one of the main commercial streets of the city (Vennestraat) and reflects on a set of enabling artefacts used to engage proprietors in the capacity-building process. This capacity-building process, characterized by the idea of space and capabilities, advances a critical viewpoint on issues related to participatory processes and gives practitioners a set of enabling tools to start a conversation over complex urban transformations, such as the one in Vennestraat.

ABSTRACTIn this article the participation profile of commoners of a Flemish case-study is reconstructed in order to identify their individual motivations for using the common, in some cases even becoming a manager of that common, in some cases only just claiming membership. Nominative linkages between membership lists, book-keeping accounts and regulatory documents of the common on the one hand and censuses and marriage acts on the other allow us to explain the behaviour of the commoners. It becomes clear why some decisions were taken – for example, to dissolve a well-functioning cattle-registration system – and how these affected the resource use of the common during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The analysis explains how internal shifts in power balances amongst groups of active users and those who did not have the means or willingness to participate could jeopardize the internal cohesion of the commoners as a group.

NONY is one form of small business engaged in the agribusiness processing of agricultural products in the form of soy extract. But as time passes, more and more business actors engaged in the same field. This will undoubtedly threaten the existence of NONY company in producing soybean extract, sharing various strategies must be done so that this company can survive. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the optimization of production factors to determine what production factors need to be improved or reduced. Also important thing is from marketing side, NONY company need to do marketing mix analysis satisfyed consumer in order to maintain customer loyalty that make company can survive. This study uses multiple linear regression method to find analysis of factor optimization and marketing mix analysis to NONY soybean  consumers. For analysis of production factor optimization using Cobb Douglas factor input analysis. Using 100 screening samples in order to obtain good results, followed by looking for the influence of marketing mix to consumers The result of this research shows that sugar production factor is very influential to NONY soybean production process and it is necessary to reduce the use of taste and worker to increase the optimization of production. Product and Promotion factor in marketing mix influences consumer's satisfaction and loyalty, where the consumer of NONY soybean extract comes in. in the medium category.

Abstrak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk melihat faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi produksi telur ayam ras seperti jumlah ayam, pakan, tenaga kerja, dan obat-obatan. Serta melihat tingkat efisiensi yang meliputi efisiensi teknis, efisiensi harga atau alokatif, dan efisiensi ekonomis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor produksi jumlah ayam dan pakan berpengaruh kepada produksi telur ayam ras di UPTD. Balai Ternak Non Ruminansia dengan sistem kandang terbuka maupun kandang tertutup. Sedangkan faktor produksi tenaga kerja dan obat-obatan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap produksi telur ayam ras. Setelah dianalisis, diketahui bahwa penggunaan faktor produksi jumlah ayam, pakan, tenaga kerja dan obat-obatan belum digunakan secara efisien dalam produksi telur ayam ras dengan sistem kandang terbuka dan kandang tertutup. Hal ini disebabkan penggunaan masing-masing faktor produksi belum maksimal sehingga tidak mencapai tingkat efisiensi.Analysis of The Efficiency of Laying Hens (A Case Study in A Non Ruminant Livestock Center in Aceh Besar)Abstract. The purpose of this study is to look at the factors that influence the production of broiler eggs such as the number of chickens, feed, labor, and drugs. As well as looking at the level of efficiency which includes technical efficiency, price or allocative efficiency, and economic efficiency. The results of this study indicate that the production factor of the number of chickens and feed influences the production of broiler eggs in Non-Ruminant Livestock Center with open or closed cage system. While labor and medicine production factors did not significantly affect the production of eggs. After being analyzed, it is known that the use of the factors of production of the number of chickens, feed, labor and medicines has not been used efficiently in the production of broiler eggs with an open cage system and closed cages. This is due to the use of each of the factors of production is not maximized so it does not reach the level of efficiency.

The features of formation radiation situation in agricultural production in the areas contaminated by the Chernobyl accident were considered. On the basis of the summarized post-accident experience, assessment was made of the effectiveness of countermeasures to reduce the level of radioactive contamination of agricultural products. The current problems and scientific challenges to support agricultural production in the area of radioactive contamination in the remote period after the accident were formulated. It is shown that the use of modern technology and employing profitable agricultural production is the best way of rehabilitation contaminated areas. Natural processes of rehabilitation will not help to normalize the radiation situation theretore carrying out countermeasures in contaminated areas is vital. The developed technologies are the most effective which make it possible to carry out targeted countermeasures in individual households and small arrays. Monitoring the distribution of radioactive pollution, behavior of radionuclides in the related environment and forecast of their migration allows developing and implementing the most reasonable management decisions to improve the radioecological situation.

The aim of this paper is to consider the impact of the crisis caused by Covid-19 on tourism and on women's entrepreneurship in tourism in Serbia. The paper will use the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction, specification and generalization, observation, testing, content analysis, and case study. Based on the available data, it can be concluded that the crisis caused by Covid-19 on the one hand led to (1) the closure of a large number of entrepreneurial companies in the field of tourism, as a result of which a large number of women entrepreneurs lost their jobs; (2) the increased importance of domestic tourism due to the increase in the participation of domestic tourists in total tourist trends. In the future, more attention should be paid to the possibility of training women entrepreneurs in the field of tourism.
