Az „iránymutató vízió” szerepe a regionális fejlesztésekben, egy hazai agráripari vállalkozás tapasztalatai (The role of „guiding vision“ on regional developments and experiences of a domestic agro-industrial enterprise)

A szerző tanulmányában külföldi és hazai példák alapján a fenntartható gazdaság kialakítására hoz példákat. Bemutat egy osztrák energiarégiót és egy magyar biodízelgyártó vállalkozást. Mindegyik esetre jellemző, hogy olyan társadalmi-gazdasági környezetet kell teremteni, hogy minden stakeholder a win-win megoldásban legyen érdekelt. _____ Agricultural land ownership and the desirable scale of operation have been the subjects of a plethora of studies. Mainstream research, however, has a tendency not to take the human factor into consideration. The unpredictability of economic policies, uncertainties about EU subsidies, the optimal scale of operation and industry- specific characteristics all constitute a far more exciting and reasonable research topic for the majority. According to literature, social support for the efforts and the existence of a clear “guiding vision” have a crucial role in the success of rural development strategies. Concerning the development of a region or village, it is important to determine whether there exists a leading personality, an example-setting entrepreneur or entrepreneurial group that can act as a fundamental driving force or an initiator in reforming the rural way of life; one that could help preserve positive rural values while nurturing economically successful enterprises. Experience has shown that success can only be built upon partnership and mutual cooperation.

Industrial Discharges of Metals in Kigali, Rwanda, and the Impact on Drinking Water Quality

Rwanda is a landlocked country located in Africa's Central-East Great Lakes region. It has a population of 7.5 million which occupies 26,338 km'. Its population density (285/km') is one of the highest in the world and has prompted fear of a rapid degradation of the ecosystem. There are no central sewer systems in Rwanda. The use of pit latrines and septic tanks is common in urban and rural areas. People still defecate in the fields (World Bank, 1989). Less than half of the urban population is served by a central water supply. The majority of people get their water untreated from rivers that have been polluted by chemicals and human excreta. In and around the capital city of Kigali, there is a concentration of people, farms, and industries which discharge wastewater into the Nyabarongo River and its tributaries. The Nyabarongo River, a tributary of the Nile, empties into the Akagera River which flows into Lake Victoria. Nyabarongo River water is used for drinking water, cooking, bathing, and agriculture in the Kigali area. There has been very little monitoring of the water quality of the Nyabarongo River and of industrial outfalls located on tributaries of the Nyabarongo River. As a first step in understanding the water quality of the Nyabarongo River, wastewater samples were collected in 1993 from industrial outfalls located on tributaries of the Nyabarongo River. Most of the facilities sampled had no wastewater treatment. The impact of these discharges on the water quality of the Nyabarongo River was evaluated.

American Manna: Religious Responses to the American Industrial Food System

“American Manna: Religious Responses to the American Industrial Food System” is an investigation of the religious complexity present in religious food reform movements. I conducted ethnographic fieldwork at four field sites. These field sites are a Jewish organic vegetable farm where the farmers begin their days with meditation, a Christian raw vegan diet center run by Messianic Jews, a Christian family that raises their cattle on pastures and sends them to a halal processing plant for slaughter, and a Jewish farm where Christian and Buddhist farm staff helped to implement shmita, the biblical agricultural sabbatical year.

The religious people of America do not exist in neatly bound silos, so in my research I move with the religious people to the spaces that are less clearly defined as “Christian” or “Jewish.” I study religious food reformers within the framework of what I have termed “free-range religion” because they organize in groups outside the traditional religious organizational structures. My argument regarding free-range religion has three parts. I show that (1) perceived injustices within the American industrial food system have motivated some religious people to take action; (2) that when they do, they direct their efforts against the American food industry, and tend to do so outside traditional religious institutions; and finally, (3) in creating alternatives to the American food industry, religious people engage in inter-religious and extra-religious activism.

Chapter 1 serves as the introduction, literature review, and methodology overview. Chapter 2 focuses on the food-centered Judaism at the Adamah Environmental Fellowship at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, CT. In Chapter 3, I discuss the Hallelujah Diet as prescriptive literature and as it is put into practice at the Hallelujah Diet Retreat Center in Lake Lure, NC. Chapter 4 follows cows as they move from the grassy hills of Baldwin Family Farms in Yanceyville, NC to the meat counter at Whole Foods Markets. In Chapter 5, I consider the shmita year, the biblical agricultural sabbatical practice that was reimagined and implemented at Pearlstone Center in Baltimore, MD during 2014-2015. Chapter 6 will conclude this dissertation with a discussion of where religious food reform has been, where it is now, and a glimpse of what the future holds.

Chemical changes and heavy metal partitioning in an oxisol cultivated with maize (Zea mays, L.) after 5 years disposal of a domestic and an industrial sewage sludge.

The need for solutions to minimize the negative environmental impacts of anthropogenic activities Fhas increased. Sewage sludge is composed of predominantly organic matter and can be used to improve soil characteristics, such as fertility. Therefore, its application in agriculture is an adequate alternative for its final disposal. However, there is a lack of information on its long-term effects on soil changes in tropical areas. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effect of sewage sludge application on heavy metal build-up in soil and maize grains and leaves, and (ii) the effects of soil amendment with sewage sludge on the chemical properties of a Brazilian oxisol. Besides the increasing levels of Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cr, amending soil with sewage sludge also alters the distribution of these metals by increasing the mobile Phases, which correlated significantly with the increase in metal extraction with two single extractants, Mehlich 1 and DTPA (Diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid). The levels of Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu in maize grains and leaves increased with the type and rate of sewage sludge application. Nevertheless, metal build-up in soil and plants was within the allowed limits. Significant differences were also found in soil characteristics like humic fractionation with the applied sewage doses. The data obtained does not indicate any expressive drawbacks in the use of sewage sludge as a soil amendment, as the heavy metal concentrations observed are unlikely to cause any environmental or health problems, even overestimated loadings, and are in accordance with the Brazilian regulations on farming land biosolid disposal.

Internacionalización de la producción y cambio tecnológico: las estrategias tecnológicas de filiales de empresas extranjeras y su relación con la dependencia tecnológica del sector industrial en España

La tesis se orienta hacia el fenómeno de internacionalización del capital, y en particular al proceso de internacionalización de la producción, focalizado en uno de sus elementos esenciales: la capacidad tecnológica como variable de desarrollo económico o de dependencia. El trabajo plantea estudiar las relaciones entre la internacionalización de la producción y el cambio tecnológico en la economía española desde la entrada en el euro en 2002 hasta la actualidad, un ámbito temporal en el que se ha profundizado el proceso de internacionalización de la economía de nuestro país. Son objetivos específicos el estudio de los mecanismos de acumulación y reproducción del capitalismo español y su inserción en la división internacional del trabajo de la UE, y en particular al papel de los procesos de innovación y cambio tecnológico presentes en la economía española. La economía mundial es el marco de referencia en el cual se analizan las relaciones concretas de la economía nacional, con un punto de referencia esencial en el análisis estructural del cambio tecnológico, para entender la dinámica del sistema económico en sus aspectos internos y en sus interrelaciones con el sistema internacional. Síntesis, objetivos y resultados Se parte del análisis de los mecanismos mediante los cuales el capitalismo español se integra como una economía periférica en la división internacional del trabajo de la UE (DITUE), lo que remite al estudio del proceso de innovación y cambio tecnológico adoptado por la economía española en el marco de su internacionalización...

As condições globais-locais e os grupos transnacionais: uma análise do cenário pós-industrial e suas implicações para a internacionalização de empresas

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as condições globais-locais do ambiente econômico contemporâneo e suas implicações na definição de estratégias para a internacionalização das corporações transnacionais. Aborda a gênese da internacionalização no cenário pós-industrial e os determinantes que a intensificaram, realiza uma análise das questões relacionadas ao dilema global-local e às suas implicações nos territórios e, por fim, faz uma síntese das análises efetuadas. Os resultados apontam duas questões relevantes para estudos futuros. A primeira refere-se à transição político-econômica desde a fragilização do Estado do Bem-Estar (1990) perante o capitalismo neoliberal (2000) e à tendência aos regimes nacionais soberanos com forte componente democrático (2010). A segunda relaciona-se com as forças locais presentes nos territórios, cujas especificidades econômicas, sociais, políticas, históricas e culturais têm prevalecido sobre a perspectiva de homogeneização derivada dos processos globalizados.
