Quality-of-life (QOL) improvement as a strategic resource of sustainable social and economic development of a region

One of the main objectives of the development of a region is a constant quality-of-life improvement of its population. There is a deep connection between the indices of QOL of a population and economic growth rates. On the one hand, economic growth is a necessary condition for the quality-of-life improvement of a population. On the other hand, higher indices of QOL of a population, including a lifespan, quality of education, income, and social care, accelerate the economic growth

Avaliação de gramíneas forrageiras na região Sul de Minas Gerais

Two experiments were undertaken in the South region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil, to evaluate the yield potential of forage grasses. In experiment 1, the following species, considered as having low nutritional requirements, were evaluated: Andropogon gayanus, Kunt; Brachiaria brizantha, Stapf; Brachiaria decumbens, Stapf; Brachiaria ruziziensis, Germain Evrard; Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Schweickt and Melinis minutiflora, Beauv. In experiment 2, the species considered as having medium and high nutritional requirements, that is: Setaria sphacelata (Schum.); Hemarthria altissima, (Poir.) Stapf; Chloris gayana, Kunt; Cynodon nlemfuensis, Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis; Hyparrhenia rufa, (Ness) and the cultivars Panicum maximum, Jacq.: Tobiatã, Green Panic and Makueni were evaluated. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with three replications. Rates of lime and of fertilizers for both establishment and maintenance differed between experiments. Each grass was evaluated for the following atributes: forage yield and crude protein content in the dry and wet season and ground cover. In experiment 1, the grasses with outstanding performance were B. brizantha, B. decumbens and A. gayanus, while in experiment 2 the species having the highest forage yield potential were: S. sphacelata, P. maximum cv. Tobiatã.Foram conduzidos dois experimentos na região do sul de Minas Gerais para avaliar o potencial de gramíneas forrageiras. No experimento 1 foram avaliadas as seguintes espécies, consideradas de baixa exigência nutricional: Andropogon gayanus, Kunt; Brachiaria brizantha, Stapf; Brachiaria decumbens, Stapf; Brachiaria ruziziensis, Germain Evrard; Brachiaria humidicola (Rendle) Schweickt e Melinis minutiflora, Beauv. No experimento 2 foram avaliadas as gramíneas consideradas de média e alta exigência nutricional, a saber: Setaria sphacelata (Schum.) Moss; Hemarthria altissima (Poir.) Stapf; Chloris gayana, Kunt; Cynodon nlemfuensis, Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis; Hyparrhenia rufa, (Ness) Stapf. e as cultivares de Panicum maximum, Jacq.: Tobiatã, Green Panic e Makueni. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso com três repetições. Os níveis de calagem e de adubação para estabelecimento e manutenção foram diferenciados para os dois experimentos. Cada espécie foi avaliada nos seguintes aspectos: produção de forragem e teor de proteína bruta no período da seca e das chuvas e cobertura vegetal do solo. As gramíneas do experimento 1 que se destacaram na maioria dos aspectos avaliados foram: B. brizantha, B. decumbens, A. gayanus enquanto que no experimento 2 as espécies que apresentaram maior potencial forrageiro foram: S. sphacelata, P. maximum cv. Tobiatã

The state represented by bodies of regional and local authorities with the help of public-private partnership projects will be able to move from direct budgetary financing of projects to a promising model for attracting private funds, thereby increasing the efficiency of their operations. There is a need to strengthen the system of interaction between government and the private sector, as it will lead to the creation of conditions for increasing the competitiveness of the public sector through more effective use of state property, investment in the economy, modernization of industrial and social infrastructure, improving the quality of goods, works and services

© 2015, Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research. All rights reserved. As a result of the study it was revealed that coaching increases the propensity of employees to self-development and selfimprovement which in its turn increases the efficiency of their activities. As to contribution of coaching in fulfilment of an employee's direct labour obligations and perspectives of his career growth, the effectiveness of this tool was also confirmed by the results of econometric analysis. It was found that an employee's awareness of effectiveness of coaching depends on the level satisfaction with the salary earned. A 1% change of the salary satisfaction index ceteris paribus will lead to a 0.89 % increase of the effectiveness of coaching. At the same time it was revealed that the most important factor in the effectiveness of the whole development process is the level of training and professionalism of a coach
