Mapping doping-related criminal legislation together: An informed stakeholder consultation

Andrea Petróczi Elizabeth Pummell Jan Exner Isaac Lockett

Publication Name: Performance Enhancement and Health

Publication Date: 2026-05-01

Volume: 14

Issue: 2

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Access to reliable, jurisdiction-specific information on the existence and scope of doping-related criminal legislation is essential for understanding how anti-doping policies are interpreted and enforced globally. While the globally adopted World Anti-Doping Code provides a private regulatory framework for sporting sanctions, governments have introduced doping-related criminal laws that vary in scope, legal form, and underlying rationale. In the absence of a centralised legal resource, navigating this policy space becomes complex and challenging. This study addresses this gap by combining desk research with a multilingual, semi-structured informed stakeholder consultation to map the presence and scope of doping-related criminal legislation, identifying at least thirty-seven jurisdictions that have criminalised doping-related behaviours and enabling the development of five legislative typologies: comprehensive, trafficking-focused, child protection, context-specific, and fraud-based models. These typologies reveal variations in the behaviours targeted, definitions employed, and penalties applied. Such divergences raise important questions about the coherence of global anti-doping efforts, particularly regarding the definition of doping and the interaction between public and private sanctioning. This study also demonstrates the potential viability of a distributed, multi-actor approach to legal data gathering and supports the development of a dynamic, centralised legal database to advance transparency, equity, and evidence-informed anti-doping governance.

Multiresolution modeling of cavity resonators in microwave systems

András Fehér Brigita Sziova János Pipek Szilvia Nagy

Publication Name: 2016 13th International Conference on Synthesis Modeling Analysis and Simulation Methods and Applications to Circuit Design Smacd 2016

Publication Date: 2016-07-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Multiresolution analysis or wavelet analysis provides a toolbox not only for signal processing, but also for synthesis of complex systems. Wavelets can be used for modeling complex parts of microwave circuits, such as cavity resonators. The differential equations describing the physical behavior of the device can be discretized using multiple resolutions simultaneously, i.e., high resolutions, where the details of the geometry demand it, and low resolutions, where the geometry is smooth. Using wavelet analysis offers the possibility of systematic and adaptive refinement, where the result is not sufficiently precise. Our method gives an approximation for the error of the solution in order to make it possible to decide, whether refinements are necessary.

Environmental Sustainability, Digitalisation, and the Entrepreneurial Perception of Distances as Drivers of SMEs’ Internationalisation

Roland Zsolt Szabó Borbála Szedmák Anna Tajti Péter Bera

Publication Name: Sustainability Switzerland

Publication Date: 2023-02-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 3

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The complex relationship between sustainability, digitalization, entrepreneurship and internationalization has received less academic attention, although each of these topics is an important research area on its own. Thus, our research aims to understand the effect of environmental sustainability, the usage of digital systems, and the entrepreneurial perception of distances on the intention to export in the case of SMEs. The authors have developed a survey to examine three main hypotheses. Based on the answers of 315 SMEs, the article highlights that the communication of environmental sustainability, the usage of ERP systems, and the perception of cultural distance as opportunities to foster internationalisation.

The historical ecological footprint: From over-population to over-consumption

Cecilia Szigeti Gergely Toth

Publication Name: Ecological Indicators

Publication Date: 2016-07-25

Volume: 60

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 283-291

Description:

Abstract The ecological risk from over-population has been recognized since Malthus (1798). GDP growth per capita in agriculture disproved his pessimism but, since the Club of Rome and its case on Limits to Growth more recently there has been concern that there is a parallel risk from such growth in terms of ecological footprints (EF). Authors have developed a GDP/EF correlation function and calculated the ecological footprint (EF) from 10,000 B.C. till 1960, using historical statistics, with the method of backcasting (Brandes and Brooks, 2005).1 In all major indicators growth patterns have been dominating, not only since the industrial revolution, but in the known history of mankind. From data since 1961, we calculate the correlation between GDP and the ecological footprint and have been able to determine long time data series of population, GDP, biocapacity and EF. Our findings are first: the main driver of growth and environmental degradation is not population per se, but consumption patterns and levels multiplied by the number of consumers, especially in developed economies, as the I = PAT equation recognized (Ehrlich and Holdren, 1971). In fact, as we approach to today, population, which used to be the key driver to growth and environmental degradation, becomes the least important driver, especially in the last two decades. Second: change is not incremental or linear as assumed in much mainstream economics: in line with Schumpeter's bunching and swarming and it jumps and leaps asymmetrically, as in our finding of such a leap (the 7th) between the 1930s and 1970s. Third: the dominant paradigm legitimizing growth (from the late 18th century) while already challenged by many since the Club of Rome and other reports should be revisited in terms of the concept of 'fullness' in the sense that while the earth in 1776 was roughly 10 per cent full, by 2008 this figure was over 150 per cent.

MOMENTARY ISOLATION BETWEEN CONTEXTS

B. Bach Péter Wesselényi Garay Andor

Publication Name: Metszet

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 16

Issue: 1

Page Range: 8-17

Description:

"The Cube," in Győr, Hungary, appears isolated but is deeply connected to the city's history. Built in 1976, it was integral to the biscuit factory until its 2009 closure. Now, The Cube serves as an anchor within the Győr Science Park, its transformation preserving the original structure while adding an extra layer. This repurposing highlights questions of architectural autonomy and context, as the building's social significance persists despite changing physical surroundings. The Cube's evolution embodies a dialogue between past and future, symbolizing both Győr's industrial heritage and its future as an innovation hub.

Vibration levels of stacked parcel packages in laboratory test environment. Over-tested or under-tested?

Péter Böröcz Bence Molnar Csaba Pánczél Zsófia Németh

Publication Name: Acta Technica Jaurinensis

Publication Date: 2021-08-25

Volume: 14

Issue: 3

Page Range: 259-269

Description:

Courier express parcel (CEP) shipments become one of the most important delivery methods in the Business-to-Consumer sales model. This paper observed and analyzed the vertical vibration levels that occur in stacked and unsecured parcels during express delivery versus the simulation in the laboratory. At the end, a detailed comparison is reported between the field and laboratory vibration levels (based on standard PSD test profile) in the frequency range of 1 – 200 Hz. For the measurement a three-layer stacked unit was used building from corrugated box samples. The result shows and analyzes the vibration levels in the stacked layers in comparison to the ISTA (International Safe Transport Association) vibration protocol where only a single parcel is required to be tested without any stacking configuration.

Reproductive Success Beyond Pollinators: Microhabitat Effects and Pollen Dynamics in Epipactis bugacensis, a Traditionally Obligately Autogamous Orchid

Gábor Lőrinczi János György NAGY Lilla Diána Gilián Melinda Molnár Kamilla Nagy Anna Morzsányi Adrián Molnár István Somogyi Miklós Sárospataki

Publication Name: Plants

Publication Date: 2026-03-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 5

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Orchid pollination is traditionally considered to rely on intact pollinarium transfer by animal vectors. Species lacking a functional viscidium are generally classified as obligately autogamous. In this study, we investigated the reproductive biology of Epipactis bugacensis, a taxon long regarded as strictly self-pollinating. Floral visitor activity was assessed through repeated field observations, and pollinator dependence was tested using a pollinator-exclusion (net-covering) experiment at two Hungarian populations, combined with measurements of fruit set, capsule volume, seed number, and seed density. We documented a previously unreported pollen-transfer mechanism in E. bugacensis, whereby halictid bees fragment pollinia and transfer these fragments in their scopa to neighboring flowers enabling geitonogamous deposition and suggesting the potential for xenogamous pollen transfer. Other visitor taxa showed no evidence of effective pollen transport. Mesh coverage increased fruit set, capsule volume, and seed number, while seed density remained unchanged. Reproductive output declined from basal to apical positions along flowering shoots, revealing strong internal resource-allocation constraints. Overall, E. bugacensis is predominantly self-pollinating but not strictly obligate autogamous, and its reproductive success is governed primarily by microhabitat quality rather than pollinator availability.
