Accident Risk Analysis of Road Accidents Involving Personal Injury
Get PDFIn both the European Union Member States and Hungary, a large number of people are killed in road traffic accidents. Reducing road collisions, personal injuries, and fatalities is a priority. To get an accurate picture of the situation, it is necessary to know the accident statistics of the European Union and the main EU directives that define a Safe Transport System. We then review the road safety situation in Hungary, using data from 2017 to 2020. In preparing the statistical overview, particular attention will be paid to the spatial distribution of severity, over time and by county, the distribution of accident participants by type of transport, the characteristics of the persons involved in the accident, the causes of the accidents and the distribution by type of accident. The analysis includes an explanation of the variables related to the vehicles involved in the accident and the causes of accidents related to human factors

No full textThe Key Of Academic Success – Different Keys To Different Faculties
No full textDeveloping a strong skill set is crucial for engineering students to succeed in the job market and throughout their entire academic journey. Studies showed the importance of positive psychological factors that can affect students’ success or drop out from their studies. First-year students face several challenges when transitioning from high school, pushing universities to look for the possible factors affecting such decisions to address it better, considering the differences between each field of study. This research aims to confirm the set of positive psychological factors, including emotional intelligence, that would predict the dropping out and success of students in different faculties. First-year students of the economics and social science, engineering, and natural science faculty answered psychological questionnaires in 2020 and 2021. The questionnaire includes coping styles, personality traits, psychological immune system, emotional intelligence, PERMA factors (P—positive emotion, E—engagement, R—relationships, M—meaning, A—accomplishments), and GRIT. Machine learning XGBoost was used for the analysis. Results confirmed the existence of different impacting factors depending on the faculty. The only common factor between faculties was the psychological immunity feeling of growth attribute, which showed the opposite importance for social and economics students and engineering and natural science students. The results allow universities to consider these factors for dropout and success for first-year engineering and non-engineering students
The Relationship Between Talent Development and Civic Protestant Ethics in the Horthy Era
No full textThis study explores the relationship between Protestant ethics and talent development in Hungary during the Horthy era (1920–1944), drawing on Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and Rita Kattein-Pornói’s The History of the National Hungarian Rural Talent Rescue. It examines the influence of Reformed secondary schools in shaping talent development strategies, contrasting their bottom-up, faith-driven approach with state-led programs under a predominantly Catholic administration. The study highlights the religious-philosophical underpinnings of Protestant educational ethics, particularly their emphasis on vocation, moral discipline, and talent as a divine gift entrusted to the community.
A comparative analysis reveals the significant role of Protestant Puritanism in fostering a structured approach to learning, ethical labour, and personal development. It also investigates the limitations of state-driven initiatives, which, while financially supportive, lacked the ethical and communal integration that characterized church-led programs. The research further touches upon the implications of talent development for Jewish intellectuals in the era, focusing on the “numerus clausus” law and the broader socio-political context.
This study argues that religious ethics played a crucial role in shaping Hungary’s early talent development initiatives, influencing both educational policy and societal expectations. By integrating religious philosophy into historical educational research, it offers a more nuanced understanding of the intersection between faith, education, and social mobility in the early 20th century
