Description:

Our research project has been triggered by recent research findings in the field of cognitive info-communications. Our interest has been intrigued specifically by views and definitions of cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) as formulated, e.g. in (Baranyi and Csapo, 2014 and Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015). We have conducted empirical research to find out how the cognitive processes of the human mind co-evolve with infocommunications devices and interact with other cognitive systems. Our research suggests that smart systems (human and non-human cognizing entities alike) will be enabled in digital space to cooperate in efficient ways never experienced before, thus showing novel ways of information management. The central assumption of the paper draws on the claim about the irrevocable appearance of a new perception and conceptualization of information management and digital cognition. On the basis of an analysis of a representative sample of questionnaires of more than 1.700 respondents belonging to different generations of the staff of AUDI AG Germany and Audi Hungaria we put forward the characterization of a new phenomenon termed the Connected Cognitive Entity Generation (CCE Generation). The paper explains in what ways the concept of "generation CE" introduced in (Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015) has been extended here. It is claimed that the perception of information management and the resulting behavior is not only faster involving greater complexities, but it also facilitates coping with virtualization in general, leading to efficiently shaping cultures taking into consideration augmented reality. The paper delineates the individual perspective on cognition and the socially embedded (connected) perspective of the cognitive personalities ("reasoning entities") on social cognition within a corporate environment. The paper makes an attempt to elaborate on the innovative drive which resides in interactive informational frameworks which consist of a multitude of connections of a cognitive personality to other cognitive entities, human and non-human alike. It is shown that management ought to be seen as the meta-level of organizational interactive behavior. The main objective of the paper is to show the possible impacts of digital culture on the nature of management and leadership in corporate settings. A particular focus of the paper is to throw light on the various aspects of identification for cognitive personalities in the context of corporate management.

Description:

In the 21st century, one of the key requirements is to develop and maintain our infrastructure facilities most efficiently using the available resources. Tramways are of significant national economic importance and represent an important national asset. There are currently seven different types of superstructure systems in Hungary, based on the national regulations and the related requirements currently in force. This paper compares the paved tramway superstructure systems in the context of track geometry, through-rolled axle tons of track, and the age of track sections. Paved tracks have many benefits, but the main ones are easier maintenance and road traffic use. Elastically supported continuous rail bedding (ESCRB; in Hungary, this is known as “RAFS”) and “large” slab superstructure systems are used to create paved superstructure systems. Road crossings use the latter systems, while heavily loaded lines use several ESCRB systems. This article examines the geometrical changes in several ESCRB superstructure systems. A TrackScan 4.01 instrument was used to take measurements in June and September 2021 and in April 2022, September 2022, and May 2023. Track gauge, alignment, and longitudinal level are examined. Regardless of the ESCRB superstructure system or age, a medium-loaded line’s track gauge trendline increases, which means that the track gauge is widening and, regardless of traffic load or age, the average longitudinal level is constantly increasing from year to year. When it is a medium-loaded line, the average value of alignment increases slightly, and the trendline is almost straight, but it decreases when it is an extremely heavily loaded line. The authors will analyze how the reference track section will change in the future. Based on the results, it is important to assess how subsequent measurements affect the trend lines. Because the data evaluations show similar results, comparing open tramway tracks to paved ones is crucial.

Sustainable public spending through blockchain

Judit Glavanits

Publication Name: European Journal of Sustainable Development

Publication Date: 2020-01-01

Volume: 9

Issue: 4

Page Range: 317-327

Description:

Blockchain technology and its industrial use cases can be detected worldwide. It is time for the state to think about the blockchain as an opportunity to reduce costs and build trust in the public spending. The paper and the presentation give an overview on how the state can apply the distributed ledger technology (DLT) and blockchain technology in the public administration: there are several countries with best practices already, and even more are in the introduction phase of opening to Industry 4.0 in the public services as well. On the field of FinTech area the state has great responsibility to regulate (or at least define) the phenomena of cryptocurrencies, that is already in use for more than 10 years now without any responsible governmental acts. Within this topic the Central Bank Digital Currency projects are also discussed in the paper, which are supported by IMF, and declared as the next natural step forward on financial markets.

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1-19

Description:

Purpose – The study aims to map the integration of sustainable development goals (SDGs) into domestic legislation and higher education institution (HEI) policy frameworks, with a particular focus on India and Hungary. It seeks to assess the extent of SDG implementation by HEIs in both countries and provide a comparative perspective on their progress. Design/methodology/approach – A comparative analysis is conducted using both primary and secondary data sources. The study examines domestic policy frameworks and legislative measures relevant to SDGs, alongside the performance of HEIs in SDG implementation in India and Hungary. Findings – The study finds that India has had a harmonised and dedicated SDG framework for HEIs since 2020, whereas Hungary, despite having multiple policies and legislative initiatives aimed at SDGs, lacks such a unified framework for higher education. In both countries, substantial gaps remain in the performance of HEIs in achieving the SDGs. Originality/value – To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first cross-country comparative study that focuses specifically on the role of HEIs in the implementation of SDGs in India and Hungary. It contributes to closing the evidence and knowledge gap by highlighting how policy alignment can enhance institutional strategies and performance in sustainable development.

Examining the Determinants of Pedestrian Safety Risks in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand

Pawinee Iamtrakul Attila Borsos Sararad Chayphong

Publication Name: Sage Open

Publication Date: 2025-10-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 4

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Transportation systems are complex and multimodal, comprising diverse travel modes that often compete for limited roadway space. However, the diversity of these modes also generates varying levels of exposure and vulnerability, particularly among pedestrians, who represent the most at-risk group of road users. This study investigates the determinants of Pedestrian Safety (PS) within the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR), focusing on behavioral, and environmental risk factors. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 1,120 participants who had encountered potentially hazardous situations while walking. Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine the multifaceted influences shaping pedestrian risk behaviors across three user groups: (1) the general pedestrian population, (2) predominant pedestrian mode users, and (3) individuals with prior pedestrian accident experiences. The findings reveal that physical environmental characteristics and perceived behavioral control, particularly the availability and condition of pedestrian-supportive facilities have significant effects on risk-related behaviors. These results highlight the need for a comprehensive and context-sensitive approach to understanding pedestrian risk and for developing targeted interventions and strategic plans aimed at preventing pedestrian-related crashes in rapidly urbanizing environments.

A Successful Festival for Kids in Győr

Ida Ercsey

Publication Name: Management for Professionals

Publication Date: 2019-01-01

Volume: Part F559

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 149-159

Description:

The Győr Kids Festival was established to be a free outdoor festival for socially disadvantaged children. The organizers later expanded the festival so it would be longer than 1 day and children could participate in all kinds of programmes including sports, culture, arts and crafts. The festival’s primary target audience were the parents of children 3–14 years old. The product was designed to create access to cultural events, and due to subsequent behavioural changes, such as starting or increasing the participation in cultural activities, the families could experience the benefits of an improved well-being. In order to achieve the realization of the desired behaviour, the Vaskakas Puppet Theatre (VPT), as the main organizer, should coordinate different complementary approaches, namely, an economic, a technological and an informational one. In this case two major strategies can be followed: a reinforcement and an induction. In 2015, the VPT launched a development in the marketing mix to reduce the barriers of participation in the Györkőc Festival. This festival has increased the number of visitors every year, and now it is the largest free outdoor children’s festival in Hungary with 26,000 registered children and approximately 50,000 visitors.

Wavelet analysis and structural entropy based intelligent classification method for combustion engine cylinder surfaces

Levente Solecki Szilvia Nagy

Publication Name: Studies in Computational Intelligence

Publication Date: 2019-01-01

Volume: 794

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 127-138

Description:

Structural entropy is a good candidate for characterizing roughness of surfaces as it is sensitive not only to the general shape of the surface, but also to the rate of the high and low surface points. Wavelet analysis of the surface can separate the larger-scale behavior from the fine details, and together with the structural entropy it can define a behavior profile for the surface which is typically slightly different for new and for worn tribological surfaces. Also it is important to know whether the method of the surface scan has influence on the structural entropy’s wavelet analysis profile, as the lower cost images based on silicone replica and optical scanner have less sensitivity than the higher cost contact scan of the prepared real surface parts. An intelligent fuzzy classification scheme is introduced to characterize surfaces according to both their degree of wear and method of the surface measurement. The basis of the classification is the structural entropies of the original and the first wavelet transform of the height scan of the new and worn surfaces.

Description:

The stabilisation and reinforcement of crushed stone aggregate in infrastructural applications using geogrid reinforcement is based on the phenomenon called the "interlocking effect". Through shear interaction of the aggregate with the geogrid, the aggregate is laterally restrained and tensile forces are transmitted from the aggregate to the geogrid. This interaction helps reducing lateral movement of the aggregate and optimises road/track performance. It is well known that this strengthening effect depends on several influencing factors. It is still difficult to quantify the true reinforcement efficiency with regard to the limit of the lateral restraint effect (or confining resistance) over the depth of the aggregate layer being placed on top of the geogrid. To be able to quantify the confining resistance efficiency of geogrids over the depth of the installed aggregate layer a laboratory test was developed (Multi-level shear box test) which allows measuring the shear resistance as a function of the distance from the geogrid layer (in vertical direction). This paper will describe the methodology of the so called "Multi-level shear box test" as well as the results of the confinement efficiency of different type geogrids in combination with railway ballast.
