In rapidly changing environmental conditions, organizations must develop flexibility and responsiveness to adapt effectively. Agility, defined as the ability to sense ecological changes and respond in a timely manner, is crucial for enhancing competitive activities in environmental management. Despite its importance, limited research has been conducted on agility formation within organizations. This study explores the development of agility aspects based on IT competencies, specifically within ecological management contexts. The research presents a model that links IT knowledge-based competencies to improved sensing and learning capabilities, while IT process-based competencies enhance responsiveness. The findings demonstrate that enhancing agility in environmental organizations advances competitive ecological management practices.
Annual medics is more noteworthy than other annual legumes in this type of cropping system due to its specific self-regeneration resulting from the gradual softening of its hard seed coat. Seed coat hardening is the main reason for seed dormancy in leguminous plants. Hardseededness of more than 90% prevents seeds from germination at the cropping stage in cereal-legume rotation systems. In the conditions and system status that the purpose cultivation is necessary that the seed with pods can be used without such rotational system of annual medic and wheat or barley (ley-farming) or similar cases and in a condition that can or should be compulsorily placed in the soil seed with pods like the end of first year rotational system of annual medics - wheat or barley (ley-farming) should be that of wheat, seed with pods in the soil should be deferred.

Urban green spaces play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity within city environments. This study explores the use of advanced remote sensing technologies to assess and monitor biodiversity in urban parks and gardens. By employing multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, the research identifies key indicators of ecological health and diversity. The findings suggest that remote sensing provides a reliable and efficient means of biodiversity assessment, which can inform urban planning and conservation efforts.
In this paper, a gas pressure regulating station is mentioned. In order to generate power, the throttling valve system has been replaced with turbo expanders. Also, heat exchangers are utilized after expansion process with the purpose of producing refrigeration. Furthermore, a computer code has been developed based on Matlab software and an exergy analysis of this system has been conducted. To have a better insight of this study, the effects of key parameters such as 1st turbine pressure ratio (R), 1st turbine inlet temperature (T2), 2nd turbine inlet temperature (T4), turbine isentropic efficiency, and heat exchanger efficiency on the total exergy destruction and total exergy efficiency have been performed. The exergy analysis revealed that the preheater is the most exergy destructor in comparison to other components. This is due to the high temperature difference between working fluid and combustion temperature. In addition, it was found that an increase in T2 causes a reduction in the total exergy efficiency of the system, while an increase in T4 has a converse effect. Variation of R shows that for a specific value the system exergy efficiency has a maximum amount. Also, an optimization using a genetic algorithm has been conducted to find the optimal solution of the system. Due to the optimization results, the mean exergetic efficiency of the system is 78%. The optimized decision variables are R≈2, T4 ≈ 2-5 ºC and T2=T1. After optimization procedure for the mentioned cases, because of inappropriate effects of preheater utilization, expressed above, the turbines pressure ratio are set to values which finally lead to preheater omitting by the genetic algorithm.
This study investigates the impact of native plant species on soil health and biodiversity within agricultural landscapes. Conducted in the temperate regions of Brazil, the research highlights how reintroducing native flora can mitigate soil erosion, improve nutrient cycling, and bolster biodiversity. Using a combination of field experiments and remote sensing, the study demonstrates significant improvements in soil organic matter and microbial activity. Furthermore, it provides insights into the symbiotic relationships between native plants and local fauna, contributing to ecosystem stability and resilience. The findings underscore the importance of integrating native species into agricultural practices to promote sustainable land management.
The intricate relationships between plants and microbes play a crucial role in maintaining the health and functionality of tropical ecosystems. This study investigates how varying environmental factors, such as humidity, temperature, and soil composition, influence the interactions between native plant species and their associated microbial communities. Using a combination of field studies and laboratory experiments, we identify key microbial taxa that contribute to plant resilience against environmental stressors. Our findings highlight the importance of understanding plant-microbe dynamics to enhance conservation strategies and promote sustainable ecosystem management in tropical regions.
