Smart Cities and Citizen Adoption
Due to the irruption of new technologies in cities such as mobile applications, geographic information systems, internet of things (IoT), Big Data, or artificial intelligence (AI), new approaches to citizen management are being developed. The primary goal is to adapt citizen services to this evolving technological environment, thereby enhancing the overall urban experience. These new services can enable city governments and businesses to offer their citizens a truly immersive experience that facilitates their day-to-day lives and ultimately improves their standard of living. In this arena, it is important to emphasize that all investments in infrastructure and technological developments in Smart Cities will be wasted if the citizens for whom they have been created eventually do not use them for whatever reason. To avoid these kinds of problems, the citizens’ level of adaptation to the technologies should be evaluated. However, although much has been studied about new technological developments, studies to validate the actual impact and user acceptance of these technological models are much more limited.

Supply Chain Carbon Emissions Reduction
While carbon emissions reduction brings about environmental benefits, it can also create financial pressure on many manufacturing enterprises.

Similarities and Differences between Precision Agriculture and Digitalisation
The fourth industrial revolution affects all sectors of the economy, including agriculture. This has led to increasing agricultural digitalisation (which is also called agriculture 4.0 or A 4.0) in farms. According to Szalavetz, agricultural digitalisation refers to “the infusion of digital technologies in and the consequent transformation of agricultural pre-production, production, production-related support, and post-production activities.”

Total Quality Management/Service Excellence in Container Shipping Industry
Service quality (SQ) is an important factor in sustaining relationships with your clients in the container shipping industry. Clients who request containership services have transportation needs that prioritize punctuality, reliability, connectivity, and other criteria over low freight rates. To put it another way, clients that utilize container shipping are more concerned about SQ; thus, total quality management (TQM) practices must be implemented to ensure high SQ levels that meet customer expectations. To do so, shipping firms must coordinate six TQM practices: managerial leadership, employee involvement, customer focus, process management, training, and supplier quality management in order to improve five SQ dimensions: tangibility, reliability, empathy, assurance, and responsiveness. This will help them perform better financially.

Innovation and Technology Transfer in Romanian Horticulture
An analysis of the research, innovation and technology transfer environment carried out by the European Commission ranks Romania in one of the last places in Europe, mentioning the lack of investments in research, especially at the level of modern infrastructure and equipment, among the most important reasons. On the other hand, Romanian universities must face the competition at the international and the European level, in order to face the technical and socio-economic challenges both at the societal level, and with respect to the inherent technological evolutions.

Fuzzy ELECTRE I in Sustainable Manufacturing
The selectin of a demand forecasting method is critical for companies aiming to avoid manufacturing overproduction or shortages in pursuit of sustainable development. Various qualitative and quantitative criteria with different weights must be considered during the evaluation of a forecasting method; therefore, it is a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. An extension of fuzzy ELECTRE I is used to evaluate demand forecasting methods in sustainable manufacturing.
