“…Three different methods were tested to determine the optimal extraction method for meat measurement with the e-tongue: raw meat extraction with distilled water, meat extraction by cooking with distilled water and Frozen meat extraction with distilled water. All the tested methods fall within the sustainable green technology category of the Sustainable Development Goals Index (SGDI) [ 40 ], which supports the exploration of non-chemical related analysis for environmental sustainability.…”

The electronic tongue (e-tongue) is an advanced sensor-based device capable of detecting low concentration differences in solutions. It could have unparalleled advantages for meat quality control, but the challenges of standardized meat extraction methods represent a backdrop that has led to its scanty application in the meat industry. This study aimed to determine the optimal dilution level of meat extract for e-tongue evaluations and also to develop three standardized meat extraction methods. For practicality, the developed methods were applied to detect low levels of meat adulteration using beef and pork mixtures and turkey and chicken mixtures as case studies. Dilution factor of 1% w/v of liquid meat extract was determined to be the optimum for discriminating 1% w/w, 3% w/w, 5% w/w, 10% w/w, and 20% w/w chicken in turkey and pork in beef with linear discriminant analysis accuracies (LDA) of 78.13% (recognition) and 64.73% (validation). Even higher LDA accuracies of 89.62% (recognition) and 68.77% (validation) were achieved for discriminating 1% w/w, 3% w/w, 5% w/w, 10% w/w, and 20% w/w of pork in beef. Partial least square models could predict both sets of meat mixtures with good accuracies. Extraction by cooking was the best method for discriminating meat mixtures and can be applied for meat quality evaluations with the e-tongue.

“…In contrast, with the rapid growth of green technology, the standard of product greenness is also increasing, and products with high greenness in the past may now have degraded to low greenness. It is considered to be the decline of product greenness over time ( Guo et al, 2020 ). Therefore, the change process of product greenness can be expressed as:

The purpose of this paper is to establish a green supply chain differential game model for green technology research and development based on a secondary green supply chain composed of a single manufacturer and a single retailer. It compares the differential game equilibrium solutions under centralized and decentralized decision-making. The green supply chain members are coordinated through the dynamic wholesale price mechanism, and numerical simulation is used as a methodology, to verify and explain the results. The study found that compared to decentralized decision-making, the level of green technology and the total profit of green channels are higher under centralized decision-making. When the coordination parameters are within a certain range, the dynamic wholesale price mechanism can coordinate the behavior of manufacturers and retailers. The result also discovers that under the dynamic wholesale price mechanism, with the increase of investment cost coefficient, or the increase of price sensitivity or the decrease of consumer's environmental awareness, the green technology level, product green degree, price, retailer's profit, and the total profit of green channel is decreased. In contrast, the wholesale price and manufacturer's profits are increased.

“…At the same time, this offers an opportunity to modernize and streamline the economy [18]. The Europe 2020 Strategy is a strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth that distinguishes the following major factors that contribute to the strengthening of the economy [30,31]. Sustainable growth represents the promotion of a more resource-efficient, greener, and more competitive economy.…”

“…Innovation is needed to achieve the goals of sustainable development. Green knowledge management processes have a special role to play in sustainable development, especially in the field of the creation, acquisition, exchange, and use of knowledge, as well as its impact on green technologies, eco-innovation, and the socio-economic dimension of sustainable development [30]. Over the last 15 years, the field of sustainability has aroused interest among many authors.…”

Sustainable Development in EU Countries in the Framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Europe 2020 Strategy was proposed with a long-term vision to ensure prosperity, development, and competitiveness for the member countries. This strategy is divided into three main areas named “growth.” One of these is sustainable growth. This is an area of sustainability, where the partial targets are referred to as the “20-20-20 approach,” and includes a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, an increase in energy efficiency, and the sharing of renewable energy sources. However, questions arise, including: How do member states meet these targets? Which countries are leaders in this area? According to these stated questions, the aim of this article is to assess how EU countries are meeting the set targets for sustainable growth resulting from the Europe 2020 strategy and to identify the countries with the best results in this area. We looked for answers to these questions in the analysis of sustainable indicators, which were transformed into a synthetic measure for comparability of the resulting values. Finally, we identified the Baltic states, Nordic countries (European Union members), Romania, and Croatia as the best countries in fulfilling the sustainable growth aims. As sustainable development and resource efficiency are crucial areas for the future, it is important to consider these issues.
