Jung- Kerényi - Pauli and the cognitive individuation Part III: A case study for the cognitive individuation

Peter Varlaki Péter Baranyi

Publication Name: 5th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2014 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2014-01-23

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 647-655

Description:

In the third and final part of the paper we intend to show a 'case study' in the C.G. Jung's cognitive individuation process where Jung himself is the 'undetached observer'. His individuation experience can be a part of the cognitive individuation, in the sense that on the basis of the possible integration of the contents deriving hypothetically from the collective unconscious, along with the acausal synchronistic phenomena associated with the coherent meaning patterns can be identified.

A Sustainable Approach for Reversing the Structural Design Process of Steel Structures: From the Traditional Minimum-Weight Approach to the Cutting Losses Minimization

Marco Domaneschi Roberta Di Bari Majid Movahedi Rad Raffaele Cucuzza Giuseppe Carlo Marano

Publication Name: Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 59

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 446-454

Description:

In this research, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been developed and the well-known one-dimensional bin packing problem (BPP) has been implemented within the structural optimization process. The Objective Function formulation lies in a marked change of the paradigm in which the target function is represented by the amount of steel required by the factory instead of the structural cost (e.g. weight). The best design is obtained by varying the geometry properties of the members and the cross-section assignation ensuring optimal stock of existing elements. Finally, the structural cost and the Carbon emission are calculated for a spatial reticular dome. The mass of the waste with respect to the mass of the stock, Mwaste/Mstock, is evaluated by adopting both the cutting Stock approach and the traditional approach. The former leads to a waste saving that is almost twice that obtained from the latter. However, no significant differences in terms of carbon emission can be observed by comparing the two approaches.

Linguistic Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Sugeno Border Approximation Area Comparison: Application in Green Supply Chain Management

Dragan Pamucar Zeeshan Ali

Publication Name: Journal of Fuzzy Extension and Applications

Publication Date: 2026-12-01

Volume: 7

Issue: 1

Page Range: 225-246

Description:

The Linguistic generalzied Fuzzy Set (FS) is more efficient and effective for depicting awkward and uncertain data compared to existing models. In this manuscript, we describe the Sugeno-Weber laws for linguistic generalzied fuzzy information. Because these operational laws will help us in the construction of the “power aggregation operators” for linguistic Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Sets (LDFSs), called “Power Averaging (PA) operator”, “Power Weighted Averaging (PWA)”, “Power Geometric (PG)”, and “Power Weighted Geometric (PWG)” for linguistic linear Diophantine fuzzy values. These models can help us aggregate the collection of data into a singleton set very easily. Additionally, we investigate the model of the multi-attributive border approximation area comparison technique for derived operators to enhance the effectiveness of the proposed theory. The problem of supply management is used for the integration of environmentally friendly procedures into supply chain management techniques, where the model of sustainable sourcing, eco-design, waste management, energy efficiency, transportation, and collaboration are the major parts of the considered theory. For this, we illustrate some numerical problems for evaluating the problem of supply chain theory by using the proposed models. Finally, we deliberate on the power and strength of the suggested models by comparing the value of the proposed and existing models.

Analysis of Hungarian consumers' food consumption and wastage patterns in times of the crisis

P. Karácsony Tímea Juhász Péter Huszka

Publication Name: Ukrainian Food Journal

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 13

Issue: 1

Page Range: 192-209

Description:

Introduction. The present research studies the extent to which recent crises have affected the food purchasing habits of Hungarian consumers and whether the financial difficulties caused by the crisis have changed their food wastage patterns. Materials and methods. The research method was a questionnaire survey, and the authors evaluated the data based on the opinions of a total of 798 respondents. The evaluation was carried out using SPSS version 28 and Smart PLS software. Results and discussion. The results showed that the current economic crises have a significant impact on the purchasing habits of the Hungarian consumers surveyed and the amount of food they buy. During a crisis, Hungarian consumers are more conscious and buy less. Consumers are less optimistic about the future (mean: 3.00 standard deviation: 1.248). The study shows that optimism has no effect on whether they waste food. Anxiety has a strong effect on perceptions of crisis and wastage. The study also shows that Hungarian consumers are not satisfied with the way the economic crisis is being handled (mean: 2.29, standard deviation: 1.185). The responses also show that consumers surveyed are typically careful about how much they buy (mean: 3.70, standard deviation: 1.113), what they put away and what they throw away. More conscious thinking about waste and consumption is well outlined (mean 3.62, standard deviation 1.205). Less food is thrown away, with 18.7% of respondents never throwing away food waste and one in five respondents buying only as much food as they can afford to take away. When food is left over, around 18% of survey respondents compost the leftovers. However, there was no difference in the extent to which those affected by economic impacts abandoned their previous consumption habits or stuck to their previous lifestyle. Conclusion. Wastage is affected by the experience of the crisis and a sense of uncertainty about the future. Similarly, the experience of the crisis is influenced by our knowledge of eating habits and our environmental awareness.

Environmental Impacts of Synthetic Fuels †

Róbert Auer Pál Lukács

Publication Name: Engineering Proceedings

Publication Date: 2025-11-01

Volume: 113

Issue: 1

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

In 2024, synthetic fuels regained attention as potential low-emission alternatives for internal combustion engines (ICEs), particularly in sectors where electrification remains challenging. This paper compares the estimated CO2 emission factors of fossil-based fuels and synthetic fuels blended with 20% bioethanol under standardized usage conditions. A key finding is that the emission factor of synthetic fuels is highly dependent on the carbon intensity of the electricity used to produce green hydrogen via electrolysis. Using the projected EU electricity mix for 2030, synthetic fuels show no clear advantage over fossil fuels. However, with a cleaner electricity mix expected by 2050, their emission factor becomes significantly lower. From an economic standpoint, the viability of synthetic fuel production largely depends on reducing green hydrogen costs of €1.50–2.00 per kg through technological advancements and large-scale deployment. This analysis offers a realistic perspective on when and how synthetic fuels could contribute to climate objectives and outlines the technical and economic conditions necessary for their environmental and market viability.

CRUSHED STONE SUPPLY CHALLENGES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN HUNGARY

Szabolcs Fischer K. Kozma R. Tompa Laszlo Ezsias

Publication Name: Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: 6

Page Range: 28-37

Description:

The rapid expansion of Hungary’s infrastructure projects, especially in railway construction, has significantly increased the demand for crushed stone. Both national and EU-funded initiatives have strained supply chains, resulting in logistical challenges and material shortages. With limited domestic production capacity, efficient resource management is crucial to keeping projects on track. This paper evaluates Hungary’s supply chain for crushed stone, identifying key weaknesses and proposing solutions to enhance sustainability. Purpose. This study investigates the logistical and supply chain difficulties in delivering crushed stone for Hungary’s railway infrastructure projects. It evaluates current supply limitations, proposes ways to improve domestic resource management, and offers strategies to reduce reliance on imports while emphasizing sustainability. Methodology. The research applies Geographic Information System (GIS) modeling to analyze transportation routes for crushed stone, suggesting ways to streamline logistics. It examines the production capacities of Hungarian quarries, some producing 15,000–25,000 tons monthly, and assesses the impact of European and Hungarian regulations on material quality and availability. The potential for integrating recycled materials into the supply chain is also explored. Findings. Hungary’s domestic quarries cannot meet the high demand for railway ballast, estimated at 192,000 tons annually, leading to import reliance. GIS modeling shows optimized transportation routes could cut costs and carbon emissions. Incorporating smaller stone fractions and recycled materials could mitigate shortages, with recycled materials potentially comprising 40 % of railway ballast. Originality. By integrating geological, logistical, and regulatory insights, this paper provides novel approaches for addressing Hungary’s crushed stone supply chain challenges. The use of GIS modeling and recycled materials offers innovative solutions for reducing environmental impacts. Practical value. The findings present actionable strategies for improving Hungary’s supply chain efficiency, promoting recycling, and optimizing logistics. These solutions are applicable to Hungary and other regions facing similar infrastructure material supply challenges.

Spatial Metaphors in Reporting Emotions: The use of Emotional Deixis in Interviews with Parents of Children with a Language Disorder

Judit Baranyiné Kóczy Krisztina Zajdó

Publication Name: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: 47

Issue: 2

Page Range: 47-59

Description:

The paper explores how Hungarian parents of children with a language disorder use emotional deixis to report their child’s condition. Demonstrative pronouns and the metaphorical meaning of space, particularly proximity, are observed in a corpus of six interviews. The questions raised are: a) What entities and relations are typically referenced by emotional deixis? b) What kinds of metaphorical meanings are conveyed by spatial closeness in the use of demonstrative pronouns? Results show that the parents use proximal emotional deixis differently from the usual pattern; instead of expressing their internal direct and positive experience, they employ them to report fundamentally negative experiences of the child’s condition, development, diagnosis or therapy, or other negative experiences. Such application of emotional deixis indicates an intense and vivid experience, namely mental and emotional proximity to negative experiences, which stems from the empathic parental role.
