No full textOrsolya Falus. Hospital Orders of Knights in the Times of the Arpads in Hungary. Zabrze–Tarnowskie Góry: Inforteditions, 2019, “On the Trail of the Crusades”, vol. XI, 226 Pages
The new book by Prof. Orsolya Falus concerns hospitalier orders of knights in Hungary during the reign of the Arpad dynasty. The topic undertaken by the author is largely unknown in Poland, and therefore worth presenting. The author, a graduate of the University of Pécs, dealt with six orders that were active during the reign of the Arpads and had hospitalier profiles in their activities
Seeing the field well in career management
No full textThe present study utilises an autoethnographic research methodology for introducing, from a handball player's point of view, the culture in which her career unfolded (from the beginnings to the first few years after her retirement), and the most important characteristics that shaped her professional years in the Hungarian first league. This topic was chosen not only as sports economics considerations are important with regard to the career of a handballer, but also to highlight how an individual athlete experiences the processes occurring in such a sports culture. Moreover, this study addresses the gap in scientific literature on career management in handball. Utilising autoethnography in the field of sports is somewhat unique, therefore this study can also pave the way for future research work in this domain. The following five pillars in career management were identified as a result of the research: Significant Others, Local Grassroots, Star Position, Roller Coaster and Rebirth. This study can be valuable for future researchers in the area of career management, and it can also provide practical information for athletes, sports federations and sports businesses

The ideological and the dialogical
No full textHaye A, Carvacho H, Larraín A. The ideological and the dialogical. Journal für Psychologie. 2011;19(1).In this paper we follow researchers on ideology in that one way of dealing with this problem is by conceiving language as a common ground between the social and the psychological, and then we focus on Bakhtin's theory of discourse to show how language practices can be regarded as the locus of ideology. We will approach the Bakhtinian concepts of discourse and utterance, showing the ideological nature of language practices in three steps. First, because language practices consist of position-taking movements in a social field. Second, because these acts of discourse are evaluations, that is, value-laden positioning effort. And finally because any utterance involves a social background that roots the evaluative positioning movement in a history of language practices common among speaking subjects. Then we explore this third aspect in terms of the common social life that is discursively assumed in communication and thinking activity
A rekreáció szerepe a stresszkezelésben és a munkaképesség megőrzésében
No full textSzakdolgozatomban a rekreáció és a stressz nagy témaköreit vizsgáltam. Első lépésként a negatív stressz testi-lelki káros következményeit gyűjtöttem össze. A mozgásos, és a szellemi rekreáció emberi szervezetre gyakorolt kedvező hatásait kapcsolatba hoztam a turizmus nyújtotta kínálati lehetőségekkel. A kérdőíves kutatásom középpontjában a munkahelyi stressz állt. Többek között azt elemeztem, hogy a válaszadók milyen rekreációs eszközöket választanak a stressz feloldására és ezáltal a munkaképességük megőrzésére. Kitértem a munkáltatók szerepének fontosságára is a munkahelyi stresszhelyzetek megoldásában.KETurizmus-vendéglátás szak (Szolnok)BSc/B
Examining the characteristics associated with the career paths of professional women's handball players
No full textCareer research and its specificity to athletes present a number of challenges in different topics and scientific fields (such as career development, career transitions, career decisions; (sport) psychology, sociology, anthropology, behavioural sciences). I have identified the following research problems: On the one hand, the athlete's career is finite (short); the difficulties of transition can be facilitated by a supportive environment, which is often lacking (when the bubble bursts, loss of value). On the other hand, active athletes are not sufficiently aware of the management and planning of sport careers and post-sport careers. Thirdly, athletes encounter different life decisions and decision-makers during different career transitions, which can affect career development. Fourthly, the development of sport has led to an intensification of economic processes in the sport industry. The impact of this can also be felt in the players market. Sports organisations may make decisions on many occasions, which may be justified from a management point of view, but which lead to the materialisation of human values (tangible values). Thus, players can be negative actors in the life of a club, which can have an impact on the development of their sporting careers. Finally, there is little literature on handball-related career research. Furthermore, the 2021 sport strategy (2022-2028) of the Hungarian Handball Federation (MKSZ) defines targets that justify the need for studies related to key stakeholders, handball players.
My article-based dissertation, consisting of three studies, is an exploratory research with a broad research question: What factors within the culture of the sport of handball can be identified in terms of career management that determine players' career paths and what traits characterise their career paths and key decisions at the end of a successful career?
I use the summaries of the articles to present the units of my dissertation:
The first study utilises autoethnographic research methodology for introducing, from a handball player’s point of view, the culture in which her career unfolded (from the beginnings to the first few years after her retirement), and the most important characteristics that shaped her professional years in the Hungarian first league. This topic was chosen not only as sports economics considerations are important with regard to the career of a handballer, but also to highlight how an individual athlete experiences the processes occurring in such sports culture. Moreover, this study addresses the gap in scientific literature on career management in handball. Utilising autoethnography in the field of sports is somewhat unique, therefore this study can also pave the way for future research work in this domain. The following five pillars in career management were identified as a result of the research: Significant Others, Local Grassroots, Star Position, Roller Coaster and Rebirth. This study can be valuable for future researchers in the area of career management, and it can also provide practical information for athletes, sports federations and sports businesses.
The second paper investigates what variables may influence long-term performance in the transitory phases of a team athlete's career according to the perceptions of the athletes themselves. Narrative research was conducted with sixteen world-class, retired women handball players and the qualitative analysis reveals those factors that influenced their performance in the transitory phases "from development to mastery" and "from mastery to discontinuation" on the individual, interpersonal, organisational, and sociocultural levels. The variables are organised into a systems map to provide a full overview as well as the perceived relationships between them. The practical implication of the paper is to draw the attention of those organisations that aim to improve long-term performance to the leverage points that athletes themselves find important.
The main objective of the third study is to identify the "key issues" in the employment of athletes in the sport of handball. The methodological framework of the research is based on primary source and a qualitative approach, including thematic analysis. The findings from the five expert interviews allow us to get a comprehensive, realistic picture of the career - related processes in professional women's handball (i.e. selection) from the athlete's and from the sports company's side. Otherwise, they highlight why professional women's handball players can be considered as a special workforce. Among the results are grouped around four main themes: peculiarities of managing players; handball players; sports professional aspects; other influencing factors. In addition, the research defines the local milieu and the value typification model of the athlete types associated with each theme, which are compared with the roles that can be identified along the behavioural dimensions
Kunstkammer in Schrift und Bild. Johann Septimius Jörgers (1594–1676) „Kunststube“ in Nürnberg = Kunstkammer in Word and Image. The ‘Kunststube’ of Johann Septimius Jörger (1594–1676) in Nuremberg
No full textThe Kunstkammer of Johann Septimius Jörger in Nuremberg, created in the middle of the 1630s and dispersed only after 1676, is not among the well-known collections of the 17th century. It is not mentioned in the correspondence of famous art collectors, nor is it recorded in the travelogues of the time. Only sporadic information is available about the works of art that had been kept in the Kunstkammer. We regard the owner as an art collector because of a watercolour in the collection of prints and drawings of the University Library of Erlangen, in which the Nuremberg painter Michael Herr (1591–1661) depicted the interior of Jörger’s Kunstkammer. The present contribution aims to enrich our knowledge of this collection based on two new sources, namely a visual representation (cabinet painting) and an inventory of the Kunstkammer drawn up in 1667
Achieving while looking forward: variables influencing performance in the transitory career phases of professional women’s handball

A sportvezetők és edzők foglalkoztatáshoz kapcsolódó, a női kézilabda-játékosokra mint alkalmazottakra vonatkozó nézőpontjainak vizsgálata
No full textA tanulmány fő célkitűzése, hogy feltárja a kézilabdasportágban a sportolók foglalkoztatása során megjelenő „kulcstémaköröket”. A kutatás módszertani keretét primer források elemzése és kvalitatív megközelítés, ezen belül a tematikus elemzés adja. Az öt szakértői interjúból nyert eredmények egyrészt átfogó, valósághű képet mutatnak a hivatásos női kézilabdában lezajlódó, sportolói karrierhez kapcsolódó folyamatokról (pl.: a kiválasztásról) mind a sportolói, mind a sportvállalati oldalról. Másrészt rávilágítanak arra, hogy miért tekinthetők a hivatásos női kézilabdázók speciális munkaerőnek. Az eredmények négy fő téma köré csoportosulnak: a kézilabdásokkal való gazdálkodás sajátosságai, a kézilabda-játékosok, a sportszakmai szempontok, valamint egyéb befolyásoló tényezők. Ezen túlmenően a kutatás meghatározza az egyes témákhoz kapcsolódó közeg és sportolói típus értéktipizálási modelljét, amelyet a viselkedési dimenziók mentén azonosítható szerepkörökkel vet össze
Narrative Language as an Expression of Individual and Group Identity
No full textScientific Narrative Psychology integrates quantitative methodologies into the study of identity. Its methodology, Narrative Categorical Analysis, and its toolkit, NarrCat, were both originally developed by the Hungarian Narrative Psychology Group. NarrCat is for machine-made transformation of sentences in self-narratives into psychologically relevant, statistically processable narrative categories. The main body of this flexible and comprehensive system is formed by Psycho-Thematic modules, such as Agency, Evaluation, Emotion, Cognition, Spatiality, and Temporality. The Relational Modules include Social References, Semantic Role Labeling (SRL), and Negation. Certain elements can be combined into Hypermodules, such as Psychological Perspective and Spatio-Temporal Perspective, which allow for even more complex, higher level exploration of composite psychological processes. Using up-to-date developments of corpus linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP), a unique feature of NarrCat is its capacity of SRL. The structure of NarrCat, as well as the empirical results in group identity research, is discussed
