Bioeconomic research aims at developing a more resource-efficient and sustainable society that uses renewable biological resources to produce food, materials, and energy. Economic supremacy causes many problems, such as global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. In order to build a more sustainable society with resource efficiency, it is necessary to discuss the institutional framework, which includes environmental assessment, environmental monitoring, biological resource management, human resources management, and education. This chapter examined the effectiveness of forest-river-ocean nexus-based education for community development (FRONE) in encouraging the sustainable use of biological resources. Combined with the adaptive cycle, FRONE is considered to have the potential to promote the sustainable use of biological resources. In the future, further bioeconomic research from the point of view of the education system will be needed.

This paper investigates the SME's management control, human resources, and cultural context in Indonesia. These perspectives come into 2 (two) themes; Professional Capacity and Company Strategy. Most SMEs show a struggle in developing human quality and in particular, Indonesia's SMEs, also lack process controls due to their beliefs and cultures. Nonetheless, despite the positive impacts for the business sustainability that previous researchers have found, the implementation of MCS still has not been adequately done by the SME due to their several limitations. Thus, this paper aims to analyze a company perspective regarding the MCS implementation, specifically in the new phenomenon related to the contingent factors that arise from company issues and challenges using a case study from a clothing manufacturing company. The research question proposes for this research study is "How does Indonesia's SME implement its management control within limited resources and local culture?" Keywords: management control system, SME, contingency-based research, SME Point of View, Business Issues, MCS strategy

Abstract The economic crisis, demography, technology, globalization etc. are all factors which will influence the organizational structures and business strategies. A new business strategy will require, among others, that passive Human Resources Management (HRM) change into an active one with a decisive influence upon business. The vision of an active HRM requires that HR information (IT) dedicated systems assist human resources managers in their decision-making. The existing IT systems predominantly manage the salary calculations and, possibly, the employee's professional development, two of the tasks that a human resources manager has to pursue. However, tasks such as assisting, consulting and engaging the human resources in the organization are equally important. IT systems must also develop into these directions. The present paper proposes a solution to measure the performance of human resources by creating an employee performance indicator (EPI). The paper first describes the economic phenomenon involved in the HR performance process, then the mathematical model is formulated, the algorithm is implemented, the solution of the model is analysed from a technical and economic point of view, and finally the decision is made. We use the weighted arithmetic mean to compute the EPI indicator and the correlation formula to establish the degree of relevance between the EPI indicator and the variables involved in the model. An implementation in R is given.

The human resources management of the public administration is of great importance corresponding to the purposes assigned to the State by constitutional mandate. Hence the need to develop a human resources policy in accordance with the attention to social needs. A State cannot be conceived that maintains within it a heterogeneity of labor regimes with different rights and obligations and, above all, without a single race regime. One of the most important factors raised by Law No. 30057 is merit as a condition for the incorporation of new public servants. However, the aforementioned norm does not adequately develop said factor, which implies the possibility of a discretionary interpretation of its content and, consequently, a selection of applicants who may not adequately meet the needs of suitable human resources. The purpose of this research is to investigate from a theoretical and factual point of view the concept of merit, in order to arrive at a tentative definition that allows us to provide objective elements for its evaluation.

In search of a more sustainable society, humanity has been looking to reduce the environmental impacts caused by its various activities. The energy sector corresponds to one of the most impactful activities since most energies produced come from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, which are finite resources. Moreover, their inherent processes to convert energy into electricity emit various pollutants, which are responsible for global warming, eutrophication, and acidification of soil and marine environments. Biofuels are one of the alternatives to fossil fuels, and the raw material used for their production includes vegetable oils, wood and agricultural waste, municipal waste, and waste cooking oils (WCOs). The conventional route for WCO valorization is the production of biodiesel, which, as all recovery technologies, presents advantages and disadvantages that must be explored from a technical and economic perspective. Despite its successful use in the production of biodiesel, it should be noticed that there are other approaches to use WCO. Among them, thermochemical technologies can be applied to produce alternative fuels through cracking or hydrocracking, pyrolysis, and gasification processes. For each technology, the best conditions were identified, and finally, projects and companies that work with this type of technology and use WCO were identified.

The article discusses the main aspects of human resource management in secondary schools. Emphasis is placed on the differences between school management and business. The essential factors influencing the management of human resources in secondary schools are pointed out. The strong connection between the ability of principals to create a positive environment and attitudes for full-fledged work in school was studied. The article promotes the idea that good human resource management is important for the image of a school, not only from the point of view of the principal, but also of each teacher managing his class and communication with parents. Unfortunately, there is a lack of competence in this area, which leads to negatives in the management of schools.
