Grand Challenge Experience Centre default image Green economy

Članak ispituje makroekonomsku ulogu institucija u poticanju logističkih start-up tvrtki u sektoru prijevoza i skladištenja. Pretpostavlja se da start-up tvrtke uspješnije posluju u zemljama s visokokvalitetnim institucionalnim sustavima. Korištenjem komparativne analize i ekonometrijskih modela, studija uspoređuje statističke podatke država članica EU, integrirajući indekse poput Svjetskog pokazatelja upravljanja (World Governance Indicator) i Indeksa ljudskog razvoja (Human Development Index) kako bi se demonstrirala ključna uloga institucija u promicanju uspješnih logističkih pothvata.

SADRŽAJ MINERALNIH ELEMENATA U EKOLOŠKI UZGOJENIM NASUPROT TRADICIONALNO UZGOJENIM JAGODAMA

Mineralni sastav voća ključan je za ljudsko zdravlje, a jagode su bogate K, P, Mg i Ca. Ovo istraživanje usporedilo je organske i konvencionalne jagode uzgojene na susjednim parcelama, koristeći mikrobne biostimulante. Rezultati su pokazali manje razlike u mineralnom sastavu, s tim da su bakterijski inokulanti poboljšali unos. Međutim, nije pronađena dosljedna nutritivna prednost organskog voća u odnosu na konvencionalno u smislu sadržaja mikronutrijenata, što sugerira da složeni faktori okoliša snažno utječu na konačni sastav.
