National Growth

Italian cooperative organizations contribute sensibly to the national growth and development, pursuing a social function of economic redistribution. Since they are based on the mutuality principle, the related accountancy and taxation systems follow such logic, in particular as far as the patronage refunds discipline is concerned. The aim of the chapter is to advance the understanding of such flows; the scope is pursued through an accounting records' comparative analysis based on the main legislative acts and professional and scholar literature. The results converge into a cause-and-effect model built according to a system dynamics perspective.

Semantic Element

The subject of this research is the abstract model of functionality of cause-and-effect relations, which can be depicted as a construct x leads to y, where x is producing cause, and y – the effect. Leaning on semantics of the text, this model can be presented as P, cause that leads to P effect, where P is any semantic predicate, being on the place of either causing element or the effect element. The object of this research is the texts with cause-and-effect semantics. The goal consists in examination of the structure of cause-and-effect relations from the perspective of the logic of language and the semantic of text. The main conclusion is the depiction of cause-and-effect relations through the simplest binary model, in which the chain is created between to situations of propositions. Elements of the model are interconnected – one situation exists because of the other. Such relationship can be determined on the in-depth level – a semantic element equal for both situations, as well as on the meaningful level – connection between the elements of the situation. The study applies the methods of component analysis, propositional analysis, and contextual analysis. Relevance of the article is substantiated by referring to such modern linguistic trends as the logic of language, semantic syntax, and syntax of the text.

Substantial Progress

The business model has evolved as an important concept in strategic management. While recent years have seen substantial progress in the business model’s conceptual development, empirical progress remains limited. I argue that this limited progress might be due to a mismatch between the business model’s characteristics and the methods applied to study it. This essay introduces two methods—qualitative comparative analysis and system dynamics simulation—that share key characteristics with the business model concept. The essay introduces these methods and discusses five directions for applying them in business model research. In doing so, I hope to contribute to a stronger harmonization of conceptual and empirical business model research.

Wild, ball, and dog mustard growth and development were investigated by mathematical growth analysis in a greenhouse experiment. Plant height and total plant biomass over the growth period followed the trend wild mustard > ball mustard > dog mustard. Dog mustard plants had lower leaf areas than either wild or ball mustard. In a replacement series experiment, wild mustard was more competitive than either ball or dog mustard, and ball mustard was more competitive than dog mustard.

Key Terms

Use value is one of the key terms related to architectural functionality. The term itself denotes the level of usefulness of a living space for its user, i.e., to what extent the space can meet specific human needs. The paper analyzes the relations between characteristic human needs and the possibilities for their fulfillment in a living space. Various studies examining different aspects of use value have often identified it with the quality of a living space. This is why one of the main aims of this paper is to reexamine the thesis claiming that use value is just one part which defines the quality of a living space and that these two terms are not equivalents. On the other hand, the paper presents a systematization of cause-and-effect relations between human needs and the basic principles and parameters for achieving use value within a living space. Although the term has not lost its importance since it was first used, the criteria for achieving a higher level of use value of a living space have not been sufficiently researched. Along with a comparative analysis of the terms value, use value and the quality of a living space, as well as an examination of the characteristic human needs present in each living space and ways of meeting them, the key contribution of the paper lies in defining the principles for achieving use value.

Mobile communication emergence has brought a whole palette of new possibilities in information sharing not only for individual development but also for national growth. New mobile information devices such as Personal Digital Assistants, Smart-phones, i-phones and the like put forward several advantages for personal assistance to the mobile users. They can present up-to-date spatial/non-spatial information in a very individual, dynamic, and flexible way for the mobile users. Mobile communication devices can provide and run many other services and applications which are aimed at presenting to the mobile users the right information in the right moment and at the right place. This improves the economics and strengthens the national growth and development. The evaluations of mobile communication development projects are required in order to have a better understand on its impact on nations’ economic, politics and social growth. The research identifies the roles of mobile communication as a means for partnering with the private and public organisations in order to provide better services and awareness for the national growth and development.

В статье дается сравнительный анализ влияния различных способов защиты места соединения подвоя с привоем от подсыхания на прохождение этапов развития привитых черенков винограда во время стратификации. Установлено содержание влаги в привое, подвое и каллюсной ткани при открытом способе стратификации привитых черенков «на воде». Выявлены общие закономерности изменения содержания влаги в привойной части на разных этапах стратификации. Полная изоляция места соединения подвоя с привоем воском RebwachsPROи белой полиэтиленовой пленкой обеспечивает более высокий выход первосортных привитых черенков в сравнении с частичной изоляцией только места соединения подвоя с привоем пленкой. Установлено, что способ изоляции влияет на развитие привитых черенков во время стратификации. Применение воска RebwachsPRO способствует активному распусканию глазка на привое и росту побегов, а применение белой полиэтиленовой пленки, наоборот, сдерживает эти процессы. The article gives a comparative analysis of the influence of various methods of protection of the junction of rootstock and scion from drying on the development stages of grafts during stratification. The moisture content in the rootstock, in grafted cutting and in the callus tissue with open method of stratification of grafts “on the water” was identified. General patterns of changes in moisture content in the scion area at different stages of stratification were revealed. Isolation of junction with RebwachsPRO® wax and white plastic polythene film provided higher output of first-class grafts compared to the partial isolating with the film of the inoculation junction only. It was found that the isolation method effects the development of grafted cuttings during stratification. The use of RebwachsPRO® wax promoted the active opening of eyes on the scion and growth of shoots, while the use of a white polythene film, on the contrary, restrained these processes.

The experiment is carried out on 3 groups of cows (1 - with productivity up to 7500 kg, 2 – from 7500 to 9000 kg and the 3rd group-9000 and above kg of milk for the previous lactation). Milk yield for 305 days of lactation of cows of group 3 averaged 9068 kg (P≤ 0,01), group 2-8682 (P≤ 0,05) and group 1 – 7940 kg of milk. Milk fat production in cows of group 3 - 369 kg (P≤ 0,05), group 2-351 and group 1 – 326 kg. The yield of milk protein from cows of group 3 is 285 kg (P≤ 0,01), group 2-270 (P≤ 0,05) and group 1-248 kg. A comparative analysis of the growth and development of heifers with mothers with different levels of productivity was carried out. At the 2nd month of growing, the weight of heifers of the 3rd group is 76 kg (P≤0,10), the 2nd - 72 kg (P≤0,10). The average daily growth of group 3 heifers at 6 months was 1244 g (P≤0,10), group 2 - 1127 and group 1-617 g.Group 3 Heifers at 9 months weighed 301,2 kg (P≤0,05), group 2 – 299,3 kg (P≤0,05). Heifers of group 3 at 12 months reached 380,6 kg (P≤0,05), group 2–378,5 (P≤0,05) and group 1 – 353,7 kg. The growth of experimental heifers of group 2 was 887,6 g (P≤0,05), group 3–829,6 and group 1 – 710 g per day. Monitoring of growth and development of heifers continues.
