Abstract: Different levels of development of individual countries cannot be simply explained with some of them enjoying better natural conditions. After all, so-called paradise islands haven’t become leaders of growth, while a number of countries with difficult natural conditions (Scandinavian states, Japan) rank within strict leaders of the civilized world and there are hardly any signs to suggest they are about to lose their positions. This makes them models others are encouraged to follow. However, it occurs that the rate of success in implementation of selected solutions therefrom is rather mediocre. From historical perspective this situation is quite new. Assembly lines in Ford factories could have been effectively applied worldwide. Fast-food networks or shipping containers could have too. At present, however, in the 21st Century, equally spectacular cases seem hard to find. This may come as a surprise, considering that striking differences persist in the efficiency of individual countries’ economies. In Europe, the distance between the North and the South remains undiminished; enormous chasm divides the United Mexican States from the United States of America. And all this happens in the world where – apart from few exceptions – almost all economies are open to well-proven solutions. Even if it’s impossible to transform the whole thing over a short period, modeling upon best examples and practices, still it should be viable to achieve a gradual progress, step by step, through adaptation and transformation of individual elements of a given economy and emulating model solutions taken, for example, from neighbor countries. This way the development gap could be slowly reduced or at least stopped from increasing any further. And yet, this approach fails to yield significant effects. The reason, it seems, is in the growing integration and complexity of national manufacturing systems. It is always difficult to build something into a compact and complex system. This is especially evident with attempts to adapt foreign innovation-fostering systems. Usually, due to the lack of some elements, links, etc., the sub-system in question cannot achieve the efficacy of its model. Does it mean that such an implementation is entirely infeasible? No, it’s not. While inflexible top-down adaptation occurs ineffective, it may be possible to start a successful process of self-adaptation that reaches deep within the entire system. It could be imagined like veins of the right kind of mold that penetrates cheese making it delicious. The point is this is a difficult sort of operation that requires a non-traditional (non-static) systemic approach.

Abstract: The study was aimed at identifying potential opportunities and constraints of beekeeping in Horo district, Horo Guduru Wollega Zone, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. Formal and informal survey methods were used to collect information of secondary data and response on structured questionnaires. For the study 30 household beekeepers from each kebele at total of one hundred eighty households were selected randomly from both highland and midland agro-ecology. From 180 household head interviewed 98.9% were male headed and the rest 1.1% were female headed households. 90% of respondents attended primary and junior school level education. The major opportunities to engage on honeybee beekeeping were presence of governmental organization and Non-governmental Organization that works on beekeeping towards its improvement, readiness of beekeepers to accept new technology, presence of huge numbers of honeybee colony, availability of lending institutions, beekeepers' experience, soil and water conservation practices of the area, abundant honeybee forages, sufficient water sources for honeybees and marketing situation of honeybee products. Whereas, the major constraints that affects beekeeping in the district were pesticide and herbicide application (17.8%), pests (16.1%), beekeeping equipment (14.4%), shortage of bee forage (11.7%), lack of improved beehive (10%), migration (7.8%), Absconding (7.2%), lack of extension services (5.6%), swarming (3.9%) and dearth of bee colony (2.2%). Generally, the high potential is manifested with abundance of honeybees, availability of honeybee flora, demand of honeybee product in market and experience of honey beekeeper in the areas. These potentials were under exploited due to existence of constraints demanding immediate intervention, particularly on improved technology adoption and frequent improvement of beekeepers knowledge and skill is mandatory.

Abstract: The oil activity is one of the sectors prioritized by the Cuban government and its development requires the constant formation and training of the personnel who work there, thus the strategic mission of the Petroleum Training Center is the training of the personnel who work in the branch oil company and in this the formation of labor competence in drilling operators constitutes a fundamental pillar, for which it is intended to contribute to the formation of laboring competence in drilling operators in the formation scenario of the Teaching Unit Exploration Production and the oil company in Cuba. In order to respond to this reality, the theoretical and methodological references of competency training are studied, which reveals a theoretical plurality that allows combining competency training, the historical-cultural conception and advanced education, taking from them the significant elements, and evidencing the relevance of unity within diversity. It was possible to reach these results through the application of theoretical methods of science, such as the historical-logical method to determine the evolutionary antecedents and the logic of the development of labor competence, and the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction that led to theoretically and methodologically support the formation of laboring competence. The empirical level of science method used was the review of documents related to the training process and the quality management system since the training of the drilling operator's job competence is a professional training process that is supported by the training process. The determination of the referents and the training scenario in which the training process takes place showed the need for a modeling of the process to adjust it to the training context of the drilling operator.
