Economic Efficiency of Table Grape Production in Waterberg and Sekhukhune Districts, Limpopo Province, South Africa by Naume Maponya, Isaac Oluwatayo

“…Results from data analysis revealed that in terms of efficiency, farming experience (p<0.01), educational level (p<0.05), household size (p<0.10) and age of farmer (p<0.10) were associated with increased efficiency indicating that these factors play important roles in ensuring that resources used in the production of table grapes enhanced productivity and were not wasted. Also, technical efficiency among farmers was found to range from 0.8 to 1, with a mean of 0.89, thus implying a major possibility for improvement in production. …”

Methodology for Analyzing Powder-Based Fire Extinguishing and Its Optimization by Amir Shalel, David Katoshevski, Tali Bar-Kohany

“…The methodology also offers a pathway for finding the maximal extinguishing particle diameter (MED) when the heterogeneous extinguishing mechanism acquires its maximal impact.There is no benefit with a larger particle diameter as it would not practically achieve better extinguishment, but would lead to a potential waste of powder and hence damage equipment. A significant advantage of using extinguishing powders with micro-sized/ultrafine particles is demonstrated where the homogeneous inhibition mechanism becomes predominant. …”

Fiscal Mechanism for Countering Negative Environmental Externalities by Viktor Melnyk, Vadym Hrebenozhko

“…The theoretical analysis of issues of countering negative environmental externalities allowed us to classify specific instruments and levers of the fiscal mechanism into the following groups:budget expenditures of different levels intended to counter negative environmental externalities and adapt to climate change, namely, state and municipal loans and investments in green economy facilities, green economy subsidies, direct financing of environmental protection measures; specific tax instruments of environmental focus (energy and fuel taxes; transport taxes; taxes on emissions that cause global changes; payments for pollution, waste disposal and recycling, for the use of natural resources and subsoil, for noise impact, etc.); non-tax revenue instruments (revenues from auctions of emission permits); loan instruments of environmental focus (green bonds, sustainable development bonds, climate bonds issued by state and local authorities); quasi-fiscal instruments (international and intergovernmental grants and assistance (including within the framework of international climate initiatives), national climate initiatives).…”
