Dóra Lakosy Julia Szoke

Publication Name: Administrative Sciences

Publication Date: 2025-05-01

Volume: 15

Issue: 5

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been long examined since every company affects its natural and social environments. This study presents research on CSR practices and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim to find out about CSR from the aspect of sustainability in practice. The study reviews the theoretical framework for sustainability and CSR, and by conducting qualitative research focusing on the CSR activities of the Hungarian HR service industry, it presents the relation of these CSR practices to sustainability. This regional focus combined with the industry-specific focus provides the novelty of the study. Results show that the Hungarian HR sector has made a significant contribution to sustainable development in the areas of equality and inclusiveness in the responsible workplace and environmental/ecological responsibility. It was also found that the CSR practices of the examined HR companies greatly overlap, although differences were identified. It concludes that HR companies operating in Hungary can contribute to sustainable development and that the examined companies’ CSR practices are aligned with the SDGs, since sustainability is an integral part of their CSR strategy, though in various degrees.

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Objectives: The integrity of research and science is increasingly under threat from questionable journals. In particular, hijacked journals rapidly expand, propagating scam-based, non-peer-reviewed publications. While the academic literature offers discussions, developed methodologies, and block lists to combat these fraudulent journals, the most prevalent hijacked journals and their primary distribution channels remain ambiguous. Methods: To bridge this knowledge gap, the current study utilized a list of 380 previously detected hijacked journals and the web analytics platform Semrush to identify the most visited hijacked journals and their primary channels for attracting web traffic. This research first analyzes hijacked journals across various fields and then focuses specifically on hijacked medical journals. Results: Our findings demonstrate that over 50 % of previously detected hijacked journals are active, primarily attracting researchers via email, search engines, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Furthermore, the majority of visitors to these journal websites originate from India. The results for medical journals align with these overall trends. Conclusions: Addressing the significant problem these questionable journals pose necessitates implementing legal action and technological solutions.

Reinforcement of RC Two-Way Slabs with CFRP Laminates: Plastic Limit Method for Carbon Emissions and Deformation Control

Oveys Ghodousian Marco Domaneschi Zahraa Saleem Sharhan Majid Movahedi Rad Raffaele Cucuzza

Publication Name: Buildings

Publication Date: 2024-12-01

Volume: 14

Issue: 12

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates have gained attention for their potential to reduce carbon emissions in construction. The impact of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP Laminate) on carbon emissions and the influence of elasto-plastic analysis on this technique were studied in this research. This study focuses on how CFRP can affect the environmental footprint of reinforced concrete structures and how elasto-plastic analysis contributes to optimizing this strengthening method. Four flat RC slabs were created to evaluate this technique in strengthening. One slab was used as a reference without strengthening, while the other three were externally strengthened with CFRP. The slabs, which were identical in terms of their overall (length, width, and thickness) as well as their flexural steel reinforcement, were subjected to concentrated patch load until they failed. The strength of two-way RC slabs was analyzed using a concrete plastic damage constitutive model (CDP). Additionally, CFRP strips were applied to the tension surface of existing RC slabs to improve their strength. The load–deflection curves obtained from the simulations closely match the experimental data, demonstrating the validity and accuracy of the model. Strengthening concrete slabs with CFRP sheets reduced central deflection by 17.68% and crack width by 40%, while increasing the cracking load by 97.73% and the ultimate load capacity by 134.02%. However, it also led to a 15.47% increase in CO2 emissions. Also, the numerical results show that increasing the strengthening ratio significantly impacts shear strength and damage percentage.

Feedback systems as interferers in perfectionism: a systematic literature review

Kristof Schwartz Adel Bartos Monika Marosi István Karsai

Publication Name: Frontiers in Psychiatry

Publication Date: 2026-01-01

Volume: 16

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Background: Perfectionism is a multidimensional construct characterized by the striving for exceptionally high standards and critical self-evaluation. It can manifest in both adaptive and maladaptive forms. Feedback systems exert a considerable cognitive influence on individuals as the emotional and behavioral responses to feedback are often shaped by its valence—positive or negative. This study aimed to examine the relationship between feedback systems and perfectionism, including its various dimensions, and to assess how specific interventions influence perfectionistic traits. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines across six academic databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and ERIC. The initial search yielded 441 articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 24 studies were selected for detailed analysis. Results: A clear association emerged between feedback valence and perfectionism. Four major outcome domains were identified as dependent variables: emotional response, behavior, task performance, and physiological (biomarker) indicators. Among adaptive perfectionists, positive feedback was linked to improved behavioral outcomes, whereas negative feedback elicited negative emotional and performance-related consequences. In contrast, maladaptive perfectionists showed a heightened vulnerability to negative feedback, displaying impaired emotional regulation, decreased performance, and elevated stress-related physiological markers. Conclusion: Feedback directed at individuals with perfectionistic traits elicits distinct psychological and physiological responses. While positive feedback can foster beneficial outcomes in adaptive perfectionists, negative feedback—especially in maladaptive perfectionists—can have substantial adverse effects, highlighting the importance of developing individualized feedback strategies as part of the clinical and therapeutic interventions for individuals with perfectionistic vulnerability.

G. Milics Viktoria Vona Gabor Kukorelli Zoltán Varga A. J. Kovács István Mihály Kulmány Laszló Bede Gergely Teschner Sándor Zsebő Dávid Stencinger

Publication Name: Drones

Publication Date: 2024-03-01

Volume: 8

Issue: 3

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

This work aims to compare and statistically analyze Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values provided by GreenSeeker handheld crop sensor measurements and calculate NDVI values derived from the MicaSense RedEdge-MX Dual Camera, to predict in-season winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield, improving a yield prediction model with cumulative growing degree days (CGDD) and days from sowing (DFS) data. The study area was located in Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary. A small-scale field trial in winter wheat was constructed as a randomized block design including Environmental: N-135.3, P2O5-77.5, K2O-0; Balance: N-135.1, P2O5-91, K2O-0; Genezis: N-135, P2O5-75, K2O-45; and Control: N, P, K 0 kg/ha. The crop growth was monitored every second week between April and June 2022 and 2023, respectively. NDVI measurements recorded by GreenSeeker were taken at three pre-defined GPS points for each plot; NDVI values based on the MicaSense camera Red and NIR bands were calculated for the same points. Results showed a significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between the Control and treated areas by GreenSeeker measurements and Micasense-based calculated NDVI values throughout the growing season, except for the heading stage. At the heading stage, significant differences could be measured by GreenSeeker. However, remotely sensed images did not show significant differences between the treated and Control parcels. Nevertheless, both sensors were found suitable for yield prediction, and 226 DAS was the most appropriate date for predicting winter wheat’s yield in treated plots based on NDVI values and meteorological data.

Systematic literature review of user acceptance factors of advanced driver assistance systems across different social groups

Boglárka Eisingerné Balassa Réka Koteczki

Publication Name: Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Publication Date: 2025-05-01

Volume: 31

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

This study presents a systematic review of empirical research on the acceptance of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The review focusses on the varying attitudes of user groups, the theoretical models underpinning acceptance, and the key sociocognitive factors involved. Using the PRISMA methodology, 35 relevant studies were identified. The analysis revealed several critical acceptance factors, including trust, technological awareness, perceived usefulness, and the importance of education. Most of the reviewed studies applied the TPB, TAM, or UTAUT models. The investigations concentrated on five major user groups: (1) general drivers, (2) professional drivers, (3) older adults, (4) young technology-orientated users, and (5) non-driving transport users such as pedestrians and cyclists. The findings indicate that acceptance is not a homogeneous process. It is shaped by the characteristics of each group of users, previous knowledge of the system, the degree of trust, and the specific context of system use. A considerable proportion of users do not receive sufficient training or information regarding ADAS features. This lack of knowledge limits both proper usage and the safety benefits of the technology. The study provides targeted recommendations for expanding user education, enhancing regulatory frameworks, and applying communication strategies tailored to specific user groups. The interdisciplinary approach contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of public acceptance of automated vehicle technologies. It also supports the broader adoption of equitable and sustainable mobility solutions through trust-building and educational interventions.
