Strategies towards agricultural intensification differ on the definitions of sustainability and the variables included in its evaluation.
Within those four variables, sustainability label users exhibited significantly higher scores than non-label users, though the path relationships among those variables were not different between the two groups.
An examination of the effect of incoming technologies on sustainability suggests other variables that could be considered in the calculation of farm sustainability indexes, such as those reflecting crop water-use efficiency, soil physical and biological characteristics, biological indicators of wildlife status, and intensification of grazing or harvesting of biomass for human and animal use.
Recruitment manoeuvres are associated with an immediate improvement in oxygenation with variable sustainability, but have not been shown to improve clinically important outcomes [ 38, 39].
To answer the second RQ, a structural equation model (SEM) was set up to examine the effect of the three dimensions of sustainability on two dependent variables, brand trust and brand loyalty.
Using a simulation model adapted to the particular features of our case of study, we have evaluated sustainability through the following variables: share of renewables, spilled energy, mix generation costs, carbon emissions and energy dependence.
For all of these businesses, sustainability has become a variable in their competitive strategy.
To evaluate the sustainability of Asian countries, output variables represent the economic and environmental performance measures and input variables are related to the energy consumption.
The use of the V2G technology to replace PHES improves all the variables which measure sustainability in this study.
In this section, we will look briefly at how all the variables that measure sustainability evolve during the period for the different scenarios.
