Is Value

The aim of the paper was to identify different levels of social sustainability in farms of various production types (8 types) in EU countries. The study is based on the Sustainable Value (SV) method, which is value-oriented, measured as the sustainability of agriculture at the microeconomic level (e.g. agricultural farm). To be able to compare farms among themselves, an RTC was calculated. The FADN database for the years 2004-2015 was used in the article, analyzing four types of farms (field-crop, horticulture, milk and granivores). It was indicated that what was most important for social sustainability was the relation between the employed labour input, especially own, family labour input, and the achieved effects in the form of total output value, but first of all, income from the family farm (farm net income).

Agricultural Farm

The equipment and engagement of tractor and attached machines were examined on the example of the average family farm Šiljić in Serbia. The research was performed on a registered agricultural farm in the village of Selevac, municipality of Smederevska Palanka. The family farm Šiljić has a total of 5,4 ha of used agricultural land. In production season 2019/2020 wheat was sown on 2 ha and 1 ha of maize, sunflower and triticale each. On the area of 0,4 ha is a backyard and garden. The farm owns a tractor IMT-558, a plough, a disc harrow, a harrow, a sprayer and a trailer, purchased in 1979. The old machinery is in use. The registered family farm Šiljić is insufficiently equipped with mechanization. With a two-axle tractor with a power of 42.65 kW and 5 attached machines cultivates 5.4 ha, so the energy equipment is 8.5 kW/ha. The tractor is mostly engaged in the production of corn 10,0 h/ha, sunflower 9,5 h/ha, triticale 8,33 h/ha and the least is wheat 7,41 h/ha of effective work. On the farm Šiljić, on the area of 5 ha, out of a total of 42,66 hours of work, the tractor was mostly used in the basic tillage 17,0 h or 3,1 h/ha. The tractor is also engaged in pre-sowing soil preparation with a disc harrow 9 h (1,8 h/ha) and a harrow 7 hours (1,4 h/ha), in a transport 5,33 h (1,07 h/ha), in the application of pesticides with a sprayer 4,33 h (0,87 h/ha). In addition to the total effective work in the implementation of certain agro-technical measures in the production of field crops, the tractor was hired at 7,30 hours to leave and return from the plot (auxiliary working hours). Fuel consumption in basic tillage was 18 l/ha, in presowing preparation with a disc harrow 10 l/ha, harrow 5 l/ha and 5 l/ha in the application of pesticides and transport of products.

Different Levels

The main purpose of this work is to check if the student motivation is an important factor in their perception of family involvement on homework. This is to check the relationships between different levels of intrinsic motivation towards school work of students in secondary and their perceptions of parental support and the type of feedback provided by their parents to homework, including the latter parental support and parental control. The sample consists of 730 (43.4% male; 56.6% female) of Secondary School students (12 to 16). The results show that higher levels of intrinsic motivation are associated with a higher perception of students regarding parental accompaniment to do homework and parental control and support them. We conclude, therefore, that student motivation is a factor of great importance to the involvement of the family environment and, more specifically, for the support and feedback provided by parents regarding homework.

First Time

This is not the first time that great universities have had to shut their doors during an epidemic. And there is perhaps a lesson for all students about what can happen during a shutdown. In 1665, Cambridge University closed as the bubonic plague swept across England. Isaac Newton, a 22-year-old student, was forced to retreat to the family farm, Woolsthorpe Manor. Isolated there for more than a year, on his own he revolutionized the scientific world. Newton said that this shutdown freed him from the pressures of the curriculum and led to the best intellectual years of his life.

Different Levels

Recent decades have seen a surge in corporate sustainability reports (SRs); their proliferation, however, does not ensure effective and consistent reporting on materiality. To improve the completeness, consistency and uniformity of SRs, this study aims at providing a review on the definition and identification of materiality and to propose screening methods for materiality assessments using publicly available resources. We found that most acknowledged standards and initiatives diverge in their definitions and approaches towards materiality. Four screening methods are proposed, including two that are directly usable: (1) Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Materiality Map™ and (2) Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Topics for Sectors; and two involving more desktop research: (3) GRI’s Sustainability Disclosure Database and (4) modeling from a life-cycle perspective. The second and third approaches are tested through a comparison study for the apparel and energy industries in selected regions using content analysis. The results indicate that the two approaches, with different levels of complexity, yield inconsistency in obtaining the most (i.e., the top three) material topics. The GRI’s Sustainability Disclosure Database is recommended for practitioners due to its balanced disclosure on management, economic, environmental and social sustainability themes.

The Impact

The article substantiates the relevance of sustainable development in modern business settings. The study provides calculation of indices of economic, environmental and social sustainability of regions in the 2017–2019 period along with suggesting an algorithm for a multifactor dynamic regression modeling method application. Within the scope of this research, the impact of agribusiness companies’ performances on economic, environmental and social sustainability of regions has been measured to integrate them as the key elements of aggregated indices of regional sustainable development. The greatest influence among the studied indicators on the economic, ecological and social sustainability of the region was revealed. To attain the research agenda, a methodological approach based on the calculation of indices and growth rates for relevant economic, social and environmental indicators has been employed. The findings reveal that the greatest impact on regional economic sustainability have the following indicators: total output of roots, tubers, vegetables and cucurbits produced by food manufacturing companies of all categories; the crop area for harvesting grain and grain legumes; total output of industrial crops; the area for forage crops harvesting. The greatest impact on environmental regional sustainability is attributed to the following indicators: the crop area for harvesting roots, tubers, vegetables and cucurbits; the area where the pesticides were applied. The greatest impact on social regional sustainability among all indicators under study has been demonstrated by the output of grain and grain legumes and the crop area for harvesting industrial crops. Based on the research findings, in the context of agribusiness strategic planning, the study provides a reasoned argument as to the critical need to adhere to the basic principles of sustainable development to ensure further socioeconomic growth in rural areas.

Introduction: Around the world, entrepreneurial activity is influenced by family. The influence of family in the creation, management, development and continuity of small, medium and large size enterprises is unequivocal. In this revision article, I argue for the relevance of further research in Honduras around entrepreneurship and the family enterprise. Methods and Discussion: As families in business are vital to the social and economic fabric of communities around the world there is value in understanding the special nature of enterprises that operate as family businesses. Honduras is a relevant context of study as research on family enterprises has been underrepresented and several challenges and fortuitous events affect the emergence and continuity of family enterprises. Conclusion: To advance understanding, this revision article brings together a collection of themes that provide a nuanced overview of key discussions and opportunities for further research.

Tanean Lanjhang merupakan bentuk rumah tradisional Madura yang memiliki komponen-komponen yang di antaranya adalah Langghar (Musholla), rumah utama yang diikuti rumah-rumah lainnya yang pada umumnya berderet dari Barat ke Timur, sesuai dengan urutan dalam keluarga, dapur, kandang, dan Tanean (pekarangan). Pada penelitian ini dibahas tentang karakteristik ruang pada rumah tradisional Tanean Lanjhang di Desa Bandang Laok, Kecamatan Kokop, Kabupaten Bangkalan, Madura yang terfokus pada beberapa kelompok Tanean Lanjhang di Dusun Baktalbak. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan menganalisis hasil identifikasi karakteristik ruang pada masing-masing kelompok Tanean. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola Tanean Lanjhang yang hanya terdapat 1 rumah utama saja disebabkan oleh keterbatasan lahan untuk mendirikan rumah hunian baru, sehingga keluarga baru/muda harus membuat rumah hunian lain dengan pola Tanean Lanjhang juga. Selain itu terdapat persamaan bentuk ruang dengan ukuran ruang yang bervariasi, sesuai dengan fungsi dan kegunaan. Sementara itu, perbedaan pembatas ruang dan komponen ruang menunjukkan tingkat perekonomian yang berbeda Tanean Lanjhang is a form of  Madurese  traditional house  which have components  of Langghar (mosque), the main house followed by other homes that are generally rows from West to East, according to the order in the family, kitchen, stables, and Tanean (yard). This study discussed about the characteristics of space in a traditional house Tanean Lanjhang in the village of Bandang Laok, Kokop District, Bangkalan Regency, Madura, which focused on several groups of Tanean Lanjhang in Baktalbak village. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative by analyzing space characteristics on each Tanean group. The results showed that the pattern  of Tanean Lanjhang with one main house was caused by the limitation of land to build a new residential house, so the new family must build another residential house with Lanjhang Tanean pattern also. In addition, there is a similarity of form of space with room sizes in vary according to the functionality and usability. While the difference  of  space  barrier  and  space  components  showed  the  different  levels of  the economy.
