Understanding Efficiency of Agrarian Organisation

Governance of Agrarian Sustainability-Forms, Efficiency and Improvement

Achievement of diverse economic, social, environment conservation etc. goals development greatly depends on the specific system of governance in different countries, industries, regions, communities, etc. [1-7]. Having in mind the importance of agrarian sector (in terms of employed resources, contribution to individuals and social welfare, positive and/or negative impacts on environment, etc.),...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Determination of relative agrarian technical efficiency by a dynamic over-sampling procedure guided by minimum sensitivity

In this paper, a dynamic over-sampling procedure is proposed to improve the classification of imbalanced datasets with more than two classes. This procedure is incorporated into a Hybrid algorithm (HA) that optimizes Multi Layer Perceptron Neural Networks (MLPs). To handle class imbalance, the training dataset is resampled in two stages. In the first stage, an over-sampling procedure is applied...

The Bioenergy Village Movement in Germany – Agrarian Backwardness or Future Oriented Re-organisation of the Energy System?

Germany is in the process of transforming its system of electricity generation and distribution. Th e transformation process was advanced by a number of civil society actors keen on dismantling the old centralised, undemocratic, environmentally unsound and unhealthy system, and replacing it with a new one, closer to the people, decentralised and using renewable energies. One type of transformat...
