Környezeti index és Környezeti Városi Reziliencia Index értékeinek számítása négy Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg megyei és négy Győr-Moson-Sopron megyei település esetében
Globalization and urbanization pose a number of challenges for different settlements. Stakeholders seek to cure global problems through sustainable projects. Since the Brundtland Commission's definition of sustainable development in 1987, the approach to sustainability has permeated all dimensions of the economy, including the environmental dimension. In Hungary, IBM conducted a study (Lados - Horváthné Barsi, 2011), in which the search for green, sustainable solutions defined in the definition of a livable city plays a key role. The characteristics of sustainable cities, that they are resilient to disasters, return to equilibrium after a shock has occurred (Seeliger, Turok, 2013). Resilience can also be mentioned as one of the pillars of sustainability. In a UN-Habitat statement, resilience refers to the ability of any urban system to withstand and recover from multiple shocks and to maintain the continuity of its services (OECD, 2018). In my study, I would like to present the results of the environmental index and the Environmental Urban Resilience Index (EURI) of the four largest cities selected on the basis of the population in the easternmost and westernmost counties of the country.A globalizáció és az urbanizáció számtalan kihívással állítja szembe a különböző településeket. A globális problémákra az érintettek fenntartható projektek révén igyekeznek gyógyírt nyújtani. A Brundtland Bizottság 1987-es fenntartható fejlődés definíciójának megalkotása óta a fenntarthatósági szemlélet a gazdaság valamennyi dimenzióját átjárja, így a környezeti dimenziót is. Magyarországon az IBM készített tanulmányt (Lados – Horváthné Barsi, 2011), melyben kulcsszerepet kap az élhető város definíciójában meghatározott zöld, fenntartató megoldások keresése. A fenntartható városok sajátságai, hogy ellenállnak a katasztrófáknak, a sokkhatás bekövetkezte után visszatérnek az egyensúlyi állapotba (Seeliger, Turok, 2013). A rezilienciát a fenntarthatóság egyik pilléreként is említhetjük. Az UN-Habitat közleményében úgy fogalmaz a reziliencia bármely városi rendszer azon képességére utal, hogy képes ellenállni többszöri sokkhatásnak és abból gyorsan felépülni, valamint képes fenntartani a szolgáltatásai folytonosságát (OECD, 2018). Tanulmányomban az ország legkeletibb és legnyugatibb megyéje esetében kívánom prezentálni a népességszám alapján kiválasztott négy-négy legnagyobb városuk környezeti indexének és Környezeti Városi Reziliencia Indexének (KVRI) eredményeit, ezzel feltárni az ország keleti és nyugati határánál vizsgált települések helyzetét a környezeti dimenzió vonatkozásában

The connection between the smart city concept and human resource management, with a special focus on the role of competences and corporate competitiveness
The trend today is that more and more cities are becoming smart. This process can be strengthened if a municipality has a high proportion of well-educated workers with the right competences who can contribute to the excellence of a company by increasing the competitiveness of the organisation and the city. In addition, other economic, environmental and social factors, such as increasing GDP and employment rates, reducing environmental impacts, etc., are necessary to become a smart city. The literature review has clarified the key concepts and highlighted the importance of the topic. Our research has analysed the capital cities of the Visegrad Group in 6 dimensions, using a total of 19 indicators, and has determined their index values per dimension and complexity. The focus of our research was on the people dimension. The aim of this research is to explore the index scores per dimension and the complex index scores of the cities under study. Bratislava scored the highest in this dimension, with Prague coming second. Warsaw came third and Budapest last in the comparison. In terms of the complex index, Bratislava is the smartest of the cities surveyed.The trend today is that more and more cities are becoming smart.

Regulation of Precision Farming in EU Countries
This paper examines the regulation of precision farming in the countries of the European Union (EU), focusing on technological innovations, environmental impacts, and case studies from various member states. Precision farming, which utilizes advanced technologies to optimize agricultural practices, presents significant opportunities for enhancing productivity and sustainability. However, the integration of these technologies raises regulatory challenges that must be addressed to ensure safe and effective implementation. By analysing the regulatory frameworks and practices in different EU countries, this paper aims to identify best practices and propose recommendations for harmonizing regulations across the EU in order to support the growth of precision agriculture
A magyar vármegyeszékhelyek rezilienciájának vizsgálata a koronavírusjárvány tekintetében [Investigation of the resilience of Hungarian counties with regard to the coronavirus epidemic]
A járványok évszázadok óta jelen vannak az emberiség életében. A kézirat aktualitását az adja, hogy a 20192020-as évben kitörő koronavírus járvány egy globális válság kialakulását eredményezte, negatív hatásai mai napig érzékelhetőek. A covid a térszerkezeti tényezőkre, a városi és vidéki települések mindennapi működésére egyaránt hatással volt, sokkszerű krízishelyzetet teremtve, ezzel átírva az emberek mindennapjait és a gazdaság működését. A járványkezelés érdekében hozott intézkedések szociális elszigetelődést, az emberek életminőségének és gazdasági helyzetének romlását eredményezték. Véleményünk szerint a 21. században nagyon fontos a hosszú távon fenntartható települések életében az adaptivitás, a külső hatásokra való reakcióképesség, melyet a reziliencia fogalmával írhatunk le. A tanulmányunk alapvető célja, hogy megvizsgáljuk a pandémiát megelőző időszakhoz képest változott-e a vármegyeszékhelyek rezilienciája Magyarország területén, ezzel rávilágítva a járványkezelés városi életet befolyásoló meghatározó hatásokra. | Epidemics have been a part of human life for centuries. The topicality of the manuscript is given by the fact that the coronavirus epidemic that broke out in 2019-2020 resulted in the emergence of a global crisis, and its negative effects can still be felt today. COVID has affected spatial structural factors and the everyday functioning of both urban and rural settlements, creating a shocking crisis situation, rewriting people's daily lives and the functioning of the economy. In our opinion, adaptivity and the ability to react to external influences are very important in the life of long-term sustainable settlements in the 21st century, which can be described by the concept of resilience. The measures taken to tackle the epidemic resulted in social isolation and a deterioration in people's quality of life and economic situation. The aim of this study is to examine the resilience of the Hungarian counties in the light of the pandemic period
Resource Efficiency and the Role of Renewable Energy in Miskolc: The City’s Journey Towards Becoming a Smart City
Miskolc, which is the focus of our investigation, is the fourth most populous city in Hungary and the center of one of the most underdeveloped NUTS2 (basic territorial category for the regional policy of the European Union) regions in the European Union. The socialist heavy industry played a decisive role in the development of the city, the decline of which also left deep traces in the city. In its current position, the city tries to manage its available resources as efficiently as possible, and the city management is open to the use of modern urban development tools. This is supported by the fact that Miskolc was the first Hungarian city to join the Green Cities for Sustainable Europe movement in 2011, and then in 2015, it joined the Triangulum project of the EU Smart Cities and Communities program as a follower city. In the process of becoming a smart city, the dimensions of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency were given a prominent role, which should not be surprising considering the traditions of the city. Within this, we must first mention the construction of the geothermal central heating system, with which the city really took significant steps in this field. The main goal of the study is to develop a new smart local concept closely linked to regional development and the key energy sector, through which the local adaptation of the defining elements of the internationally defined smart city in several forms for the city of Miskolc will be presented. In our study, we review how the results achieved by Miskolc so far and the development plans for the future fit in with the smart energy developments of smart cities. Before exploring the processes in Miskolc, we will deal in more detail with the possibilities inherent in district heating and geothermal energy utilization and Hungary’s capabilities
Fókuszban az alkalmazotti jóllét: lisztérzékeny munkavállalók életminőségének vizsgálata [Employee well-being in the spotlight: a study on the quality of life of workers with celiac disease]
Az emberierőforrás-menedzsment (HRM) a szervezetekben alkalmazott stratégiák és gyakorlatok összessége, amelyek a munkaerő felvételét, kiválasztását, fejlesztését és fenntartását célozzák. A HRM kulcsfontosságú szerepet játszik az alkalmazottak jóllétének és hatékonyságának biztosításában. Tanulmányunk a lisztérzékenység és az HRM közötti összefüggésekre fókuszál. A HRM szerepe a lisztérzékenység esetében az alkalmazottak támogatásában és beilleszkedésében rejlik. A HRM tevékenységek segíthetnek az alkalmazottak számára megfelelő táplálkozási lehetőségek biztosításában, például gluténmentes ételek elérhetőségével és információkkal való ellátásban, az alkalmazottak egészségi állapotának és jóllétének nyomon követésében, valamint a munkakörülmények és az alkalmazottak igényeinek igazításában. Az olyan kezdeményezések, mint az alkalmazottak oktatása és tudatosságának növelése a lisztérzékenységről, valamint a munkakörnyezet és a szervezeti politikák alkalmazkodása a speciális étrendi igényekhez, hozzájárulhatnak a lisztérzékenységgel élő alkalmazottak jobb munkahelyi élményhez és eredményességéhez. Tanulmányunk rámutat a HRM jelentőségére a lisztérzékenységben szenvedő alkalmazottak szempontjából, és hangsúlyozza az olyan HRM intézkedések fontosságát, amelyek a megfelelő támogatást és feltételeket biztosítják számukra, hozzájárulva az alkalmazottak egészségéhez, elégedettségéhez és produktivitásához, ily módon a szervezet hosszú távú sikeréhez. | Human resource management (HRM) is A set of strategies and practices used in organisations to recruit, select, develop and maintain labour force. HRM plays a key role in ensuring the well-being and effectiveness of employees. This paper focuses on the relationship between celiac disease and HRM. The role of HRM in the case of celiac disease lies in the support and integration of employees. HRM activities can help to provide employees with appropriate nutritional options, such as the availability of gluten-free food and information, monitoring employees' health and well-being, and adapting working conditions and employee needs. Initiatives such as educating and raising awareness of celiac disease among employees, and adapting work environments and organisational policies to specific dietary needs, can contribute to a better workplace experience and performance for employees with celiac disease. Our paper highlights the importance of HRM for employees with celiac disease and emphasises the importance of HRM measures that provide them with the right support and conditions, contributing to employee health, satisfaction and productivity, and thus to the long-term success of the organisation
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Work-Life Balance of Employees
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are still prevalent in the Hungarian labour market. With home office gaining ground, the traditional way of working before the pandemic was partially altered, for which neither employers nor employees were ready. Work-life balance was upset by the change in the daily routine. In our quantitative online questionnaire survey, we looked at whether this disruption and change had a greater impact on the older or younger generation and whether there was a discernible gender difference in home office work in Hungary. Before the questionnaire survey, two hypotheses were developed. One of our hypotheses was confirmed and the other was rejected after analysing the data. We demonstrated that older age groups – the Baby Boomer and Generation X – are more satisfied with their work-life balance than younger age groups – the Generation Y and Generation Z – using statistical methods (cross-tabulation analysis and chi-square test). We examine these possible causes and make recommendations for strategies to promote work-life balance in our article
Comparison of Wet and Dry Stirred Media Milling from Energetic and Mechanochemical Point of View
Stirred media mills are widely used in the industry for fine grinding. Most of the applications work in wet mode, however dry grinding in stirred media mill comes forward more frequently nowadays. The present paper deals with the differences and similarities of the wet and dry grinding in stirred media mill from energetic and mechanochemical point of view as well. Grinding experiments in batch stirred media mill were carried out with different materials. During the experiments zeolite and kaolin were used as feed material. The grinding experiments were carried out at different stress energy and stress number values; the grinding work was measured during milling. After grinding X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), particles size analyzes by laser scattering were carried out on the ground materials. As a result of the systematic grinding and analytical measurements a comprehensive comparison was carried out on the wet and dry grinding and their usefulness for mechanical activation in stirred media mill
