Strong stability preserving explicit peer methods

Rüdiger Weiner Helmut Podhaisky Zoltán Horváth

Publication Name: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics

Publication Date: 2016-04-01

Volume: 296

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 776-788

Description:

In this paper we study explicit peer methods up to order p=13 which have the strong stability preserving (SSP) property. This class of general linear methods has the favourable property of a high stage order. The effective SSP coefficient is maximized by solving a nonlinear constraint optimization problem numerically to high precision. The coefficient matrices of the optimized methods are sparse in a very structured way. Linear multistep methods are obtained as a special case of only one stage.

The effect of the perceived value of cultural services on the quality of life

Ida Ercsey László Józsa

Publication Name: International Review on Public and Nonprofit Marketing

Publication Date: 2016-04-01

Volume: 13

Issue: 1

Page Range: 15-36

Description:

In international and especially in Hungarian marketing literature, a few pieces of research deal with analysis of the relationship between the subjective quality of life and the services. The objective of this article is to explore, what the role of the perceived value of cultural activities play in the evaluation of the young people’ quality of life. First, we look over the quality of life studies in the cultural industry. Next, we study the perceived value comparing two main approaches to the conceptualisation of this framework. Based on the scales of previous studies and our results of the exploratory phase (small-group interviews, and pilot study) we developed the initial scales for measurement of the subjective quality of life (QOL) and the perceived value of cultural activities. We conducted a survey to test our hypotheses. The target population of our research is consumers who participated in cultural activities between 14 and 30 ages in one Hungarian region. Our results show that perceived value of cultural services has three different dimensions: functional (quality and price of cultural service, installation of cultural provider, and personnel expertise), emotional and social ones. We found that the functional dimension of cultural services has positive effect on the consumers’ global QOL. Besides, the emotional and social values of cultural services contribute to the higher perception of the family and friend relationships among young users. Finally, we discuss our results, managerial implications, and formulate limitations of our empirical research and further research.

Age-dependent aerobic capacity among young and middle-aged males

Ferenc Ihász József Bognár Balázs Fügedi Piroska Boros Peter Szabó Andras Oláh

Publication Name: Gazzetta Medica Italiana Archivio Per Le Scienze Mediche

Description:

BACKGROUND: Good aerobic capacity is one of the attributes of good cardiovascular function. Physical activity that is performed in steady state and the lower third zone of submaximal intensity seems appropriate for physiological adaptation in advancing age. There is a need to evaluate the effect of age on physiological variables contributing to aerobic capacity using submaximal intensities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences m oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse, and minute ventilation during exercise at steady state, ventilatory threshold, and maximal intensity zones among men of different ages. METHODS: Three hundred and twelve senior managers m three age groups (20-30, 30-40, and 40-50) completed an exercise protocol in six stages. RESULTS: Hie result demonstrated a series of differences among the age groups: height, weight, oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse and relative minute ventilation. Accordmg to these results the morphological physiological variables decline with age. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the specificities of the morphological, ventilatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular changes throughout aging. When designing a physical activity program, it seems that similar principles can be followed in different age groups; however, maximal intensity maintenance is limited by physiological barriers m older adults.

The inverse kinematics problem, a heuristical approach

Claudiu Radu Pozna Ernö Horváth János Hollósi

Publication Name: Sami 2016 IEEE 14th International Symposium on Applied Machine Intelligence and Informatics Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-03-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 299-304

Description:

This paper presents a heuristic solution for the inverse kinematics problem. The heuristic consists on combining the distance between the actual position and the desired position of the gripper with the direction of the best manipulability of the robot. Theoretical results are validated by digital simulations resolute.

A use case of the simulation-based approach to mobile robot algorithm development

Claudiu Radu Pozna Ernö Horváth János Hollósi Csaba Hajdu

Publication Name: Sami 2016 IEEE 14th International Symposium on Applied Machine Intelligence and Informatics Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-03-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 311-314

Description:

A complex algorithm development progress for mobile robot (MR) usually requires a priori simulation of the whole dynamic environment before it is applied on a real-world robot. In order to reduce the development time and avoid programming mistakes it is recommended to use the same language for both simulation and real-word testing. The paper presents a certain use case for the simulation-based approach. In this use case V-REP is used for simulation, ROS for the real-world robot application and MATLAB or C# for algorithm development. Note that the source code of the work is available on a public GitHub repository.

Reinventing government and the separation of powers

István Stumpf

Publication Name: Acta Juridica Hungarica

Publication Date: 2016-03-01

Volume: 57

Issue: 1

Page Range: 42-58

Description:

Challenges caused by the global economic crisis in connection with the structural, political changes transformed the construction, the nature, and the operation of the executive branch. During the last decades in the separation of powers' system the state had been rediscovered and governmental power had been appreciated. In a world covered with the internet, financial, economic and political crisis situations appeared; governments and governmental centres had to give sufficient answers to global challenges. The world under the pressure of the media changed the daily routine of the governmental work: beside the good decision-making, carrying the governments' point across parliaments and public opinion too became increasingly significant. Strengthening the symbiosis between the legislative and executive branch in parliamentary governmental systems can be observed. Members of the governing party attending the rigorous party discipline are decreasingly able to function as democratic control. These members rather become patronisers ('voting machines') of the governmental intention without critical voices. The personality of the politicians coming to the front and the marketability of the politics in the media also strengthened the process which resulted in the intensity of the Prime Minister's role within the executive branch. Increasing the role of the Prime Minister and governmental central bodies lead to the weakening of the government's corporative character, and the government's gaining ground opposed to the Parliament. According to international examples in significant western European parliamentary democracies (for example: United Kingdom: Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair, Italy: Silvio Berlusconi, Sweden: Göran Persson) the role of the Prime Minister (as the head of the government) also appreciably strengthened. Beside this attitude, the outsourcing of each governmental function (good governance), the sufficiency of state's strengthening (good government), and making governmental public services available electronically (e-government) are also under hard discussion. The aim of this paper is to review - based on new constitutional and other changes of public law - the centralization of the head of the Hungarian government; the strengthening of the 'chancellor-principle' by the Hungarian Fundamental Law; and the process that lead to the Prime Minister's Office becoming 'top chancery'. The paper takes into consideration the transformation of the separation of powers' system and the strengthening of the Prime Minister's role within the executive branch and its affect on the Hungarian administrative system.
