On Certain Procedural Aspects of Agricultural Subsidy Law
Publication Name: Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Law
Publication Date: 2025-06-25
Volume: 20
Issue: 38
Page Range: 371-384
Description:
As a judge assigned to the Public Administration Chamber of the Győr Regional Court, I adjudicate in administrative cases, and in addition to my work, as a fourth-year student of the Doctoral School of Law and Political Sciences of the Széchenyi István University, I research the system of agricultural subsidies and judicial case law. The aim of my doctoral thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Hungarian system of agricultural subsidies and the jurisprudence of agricultural subsidy law by examining the agricultural law literature, national and EU legislation, the practice of farmers’ organisations, agricultural and rural development support bodies and case law collected in courts. The questions examined in the research concern the normative clarity of legislation on agricultural subsidies, the equivalence of the functions assigned to agricultural subsidies and the precedent practice available in this specific field. My research in this area focuses not only on the history, functions and substantive law of agricultural subsidy law, but also on its procedural law. In this study, I address the jurisdictional problems that arise in agricultural law disputes and the issues arising from the relationship between general and special administrative procedural law.

AN ANALYSIS ON LEADERSHIP AND DECISION MAKING ERRORS IN THE NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INFLUENCED ORGANIZATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
Publication Name: Polish Journal of Management Studies
Publication Date: 2025-06-24
Volume: 31
Issue: 2
Page Range: 123-137
Description:
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing how leadership and decision-making work in organizations today. AI's emergence has created a need to rethink traditional ways of leading. Leaders now face the challenge of incorporating AI tools into their decision-making, which affects corporate strategies and how well they operate. However, while this combination of leadership and AI calls for adaptive strategies, it also raises worries about possible decision-making mistakes. To handle these challenges well, organizations should develop a strong understanding of how leadership styles affect decisionmaking when faced with the pressures of AI. To understand this relationship, our study considered key aspects like organizational climate and emotional intelligence, which are vital for long-term change.

Selection criteria in the talent identification of triathlon
Publication Name: Physiology International
Publication Date: 2025-06-20
Volume: 112
Issue: 2
Page Range: 118-137
Description:
Triathlon is a very complex sport, as the athlete has to master the characteristics of three sports (swimming, cycling and running), and the tasks of coaches are increased by the need to get the most out of all three. This sport improves endurance, has a positive effect on muscle development, movement coordination, breathing, and circulation. For talent identification factors determining the performance in triathlon are essential (physiological, anthropometric, psychosocial and tactical factors). Scientific literature concerning performance in triathlon sport is rather scarce. Although there are some studies in this field, there is little comprehensive literature analyzing training of youth athletes. The aim of our research was (i) to conduct a targeted literature review of the body composition and performance of youth triathletes and (ii) comparing results with those of elite adults, (iii) determining factors playing a prominent role in the selection and performance of triathletes. The results of our research reveal that factors like the appropriate competition age (approx. 28-30 years for both sexes), anthropometric parameters (it is necessary to take into account the distance the athlete covers) and performance criteria (the most important is VO2 max) are essential for successful selection and subsequent success. In the world of triathlon constant regulatory changes and the need to adapt new competitive demands necessitate keeping our knowledge up to date.

The influence of celebrity chef competencies on customer trust and loyalty: a gender perspective
Publication Name: British Food Journal
Publication Date: 2025-06-17
Volume: 127
Issue: 7
Page Range: 2417-2432
Description:
Purpose: Using cue utilization theory, this study aims to investigate the impact of celebrity chefs’ job and person-related competencies on customers’ trust and loyalty in restaurant settings and explores gender as a moderator. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 330 questionnaires were distributed to customers at 6 celebrity-chef-run restaurants in South Korea, with 297 completed responses used for final analysis. The survey underwent two pre-testing stages, including interviews with chefs and a pre-survey with 20 customers, to refine its clarity and eliminate biases. Findings: Job-related competencies positively influenced trust and loyalty in males, while person-related competencies had a stronger impact on trust in both genders. Trust significantly predicted loyalty, with stronger effects observed in females. Research limitations/implications: Although this study makes a unique contribution by considering two competencies that are most relevant to celebrity chefs, future studies may want to expand the scope by considering some other competencies. Practical implications: This study reveals that females perceived celebrity chefs’ job-related competencies differently than males, which suggests that marketers should focus on core competencies more when targeting females. Originality/value: This study, based on the cue utilization theory, contributes to the literature by offering an integrated model considering celebrity chefs’ competencies and their effect on customers’ responses. In addition, the study highlights the role of gender in customers’ responses to celebrity chefs’ competencies.

Page Range: 286-298
Description:
Background: Creativity, innovation, and learning behaviour are essential in accomplishing a competitive edge and the prerequisite of leadership in enhancing employee creativity and organisational growth. However, it is still unclear how team creativity and leadership are related. Objective: The research evaluates the effects spiritual leadership has on employee creativity, together with green human resource management (GHRM) practices within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The proposed framework explains the pathways through which spiritual leadership creates green workplaces that both engage employees and drive sustainable organisational expansion. Methodology: The study employed qualitative approach to attain its aim. The researchers collected data from 21 SME employees while the collected data were analysed using thematic analysis done with N-Vivo 14. Results: The outcomes of this research indicate that spiritual leadership encourages employee creativity and green HRM practices. This eventually enhances organisational performance and staff creativity, providing meaningful information to companies looking to elevate sustainability and overall performance. Conclusion: Leadership is an important requirement for effective management of small and medium scale enterprises. Unique Contribution: The outcomes present a new perspective on the relationship between spiritual leadership and employee results, escalating the value of creative strategies that help team members' personal and professional development. Key Recommendation: All organizational strategies and procedures must include environmental sustainability to create a unified HRM strategy. Leaders are important in advancing this integration by supporting eco-friendly projects and improving an environment that stimulates employee involvement and innovation.

Modelling employee retention in small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises in a dynamically changing business environment
Publication Name: International Journal of Organizational Analysis
Publication Date: 2025-06-04
Volume: 33
Issue: 5
Page Range: 1006-1038
Description:
Purpose: This study aims to explore the holistic context of organisational staff retention in small, medium and large organisations. It also aims to identify the factors affecting the retention of organisations of different sizes. Design/methodology/approach: The study implements an empirical test of a model created during previous research with the participation of 511 employees. The responses to the online questionnaire and the modelling were analysed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling method. The models were tested for internal consistency reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, multicollinearity and model fit. Findings: Two models were tested by organisation size, which revealed a total of 62 significant correlations between the latent variables tested. Identical correlations were present in both models in 22 cases. After testing the hypotheses, critical variables (nature of work, normative commitment, benefits, co-workers and organisational commitment) were identified that determine employees’ organisational commitment and intention to leave, regardless of the size of the organisation. Research limitations/implications: As a result of this research, the models developed are suitable for identifying differences in organisational staffing levels, but there is as yet no empirical evidence on the use of the scales for homogeneous groups of employees. Practical implications: The results show that employees’ normative commitment and organisational commitment are critical factors for retention. Of the satisfaction factors examined, the nature of work, benefits and co-workers have a significant impact on retention in organisations, so organisational retention measures should focus on improving satisfaction regarding these factors. Social implications: The readers of the journal would appreciate the work, which highlights the significance of employee psychology and retention for organisational success. Originality/value: The study is based on primary data and, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, is one of the few studies that take a holistic approach to organisational staff retention in the context of the moderating effect of organisational size. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of employee retention and in contrast to previous research, examines the combined effect of several factors.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Consumption Alters Uterine Contraction: A Comparative Study on Different Breeds of Rats
Publication Name: International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Publication Date: 2025-06-01
Volume: 26
Issue: 11
Page Range: Unknown
Description:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play roles in several physiological and pathophysiological processes, but their effects on reproductive function are controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of n-3 PUFA-rich fish oil and n-6-rich sunflower oil on sex hormone status, in vivo and in vitro uterine contractility, and endometrial remodeling. Female Sprague Dawley, Lister hooded, and Wistar rats were treated orally for 20 days with 1 mL of tap water, sunflower oil, or fish oil. Blood samples were taken for gonadotropic and sex hormone analysis. In vivo smooth muscle contractions were measured weekly by electromyography. Isolated uterine and cecal contractions were measured after sacrificing the animals. Endometrial remodeling was detected based on the presence of αvβ3 integrin by optical imaging. In Sprague Dawley rats, fish oil increased the LH level and progesterone/estradiol (P4/E2) ratio compared to the sunflower oil-treated group. Uterine contractions were reduced both in vitro and in vivo. Endometrial αvβ3 integrin activity was increased in the fish oil group. In Lister hooded rats, neither sunflower nor fish oil treatments modified the investigated parameters. However, in Wistar rats, both oils increased only the in vivo contractions and reduced the P4/E2 ratio, along with αvβ3 integrin fluorescence. n-3 PUFA-rich fish oil induces a breed-dependent effect on sex hormone status and uterine contractions in rats. The response to PUFA intake may vary significantly within a given species, which may have importance both in animal feeding and human nutrition.

Comparison of ultrasound-assisted extraction and modified QuEChERS technique for extraction of hesperidin from lemon peel (Citrus limon L.) as determined by HPLC
Publication Name: Journal of Food Composition and Analysis
Publication Date: 2025-06-01
Volume: 142
Issue: Unknown
Page Range: Unknown
Description:
Hesperidin (HSP) is a bioflavonoid known for its notable health benefits. Recent extraction strategies have aimed to minimize hazardous solvent use and simplify procedures to improve cost-effectiveness. This study compares ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) with a modified “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” (QuEChERS) method for the recovery of HSP. High-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was used for quantification. The modified QuEChERS method resulted in the highest extraction efficiency while significantly reducing processing time. The validated method demonstrated excellent sensitivity (LOQ: 10.0 µg/mL), high accuracy (recovery >93 %), and good precision (RSD <3.4 %), making it a reliable and cost-effective approach for routine HSP analysis in citrus peel. These findings indicate that the modified QuEChERS technique offers a promising alternative to UAE for the rapid and efficient extraction of HSP.

Comparison of Outdoor Radiowave Propagation Models for Land Mobile Systems in the 3.6 GHz and 6 GHz Frequency Bands
Publication Name: Telecom
Publication Date: 2025-06-01
Volume: 6
Issue: 2
Page Range: Unknown
Description:
This paper presents a comparative analysis of three outdoor wave propagation models—ITU-R P.1546-6, the SUI model, and ITU-R P.452-17—benchmarked against the deterministic Parabolic Equation Modeling (PEM) method at 3.6 GHz and 6 GHz. The evaluation focuses on prediction accuracy (RMSE, MAE, bias, relative error), terrain sensitivity, and computational efficiency. At 3.6 GHz, ITU-R P.1546-6 shows poor terrain responsiveness and high relative errors, while ITU-R P.452-17 demonstrates strong terrain sensitivity and low errors in flat areas, but decreased accuracy over hilly terrain. At 6 GHz, the SUI model consistently underestimates field strength and exhibits weak terrain sensitivity, limiting its use to rough estimations. In contrast, ITU-R P.452-17 maintains good terrain correlation and acceptable accuracy, although it slightly overestimates field strength in complex environments. The results confirm that prediction accuracy, terrain sensitivity, and bias are highly model- and frequency-dependent. ITU-R P.452-17 emerges as the most reliable and computationally efficient alternative to deterministic methods when terrain effects must be considered without significant computational overhead.
