Hunyadyak Somogyban

Published: August 2024

Tanulmányomban a gróf kéthelyi Hunyady család somogyi történetével foglalkozom. Munkám elsősorban ismertetésre, bemutatásra törekszik, illetve az eddig ismert adatok áttekintésére, kiegészítve mindezt saját gyűjtéssel, apróbb kutatási eredményekkel. Indíttatásomnak magyarázata lehet, hogy az elmúlt évben hozzáférhetővé vált számomra egy plébániai iratanyag, melynek rendezése során került érdeklődésem középpontjába a Hunyady család. A 18. században alapított Somogy vármegyei Szólád község plébániájának anyagát áttekintve lettem figyelmes a grófi család egyházközségeket útjára indító és templomot építő munkásságára, mely idővel a Balaton közelsége révén összefonódott a helyi turizmus fellendítésével, és a balatoni fürdőkultúra alapjainak megteremtésével. A családtörténet helyi emlékezetben még fellelhető momentumai indítottak arra, hogy gazdaság- és agrártörténeti adatok mellett az egyháztörténeti és kultúrtörténeti vonatkozásokat is szem előtt tartva próbáljak választ adni a felmerülő kérdésekre, így többek között arra, hogy egy arisztokrata család mennyiben és milyen módon tudott hozzájárulni a helyi közösség kultúrájának kibontakozásához. Gazdaságuk fejlesztése mellett a birtokukhoz tartozó egyházközségek támogatása, a templomok megújítása, a kialakuló népiskolák és oktatás, valamint a helyi társadalom segítése azt engedte feltételezni, hogy a család szem előtt tarthatta felelősségét nemcsak földjei gazdaságos megművelése, de az ott élő emberek iránt is.

Exploration of green index system from the perspective of urban renewal
Authors: Xing Lu
Published: August 2024

In the context of China's urban sustainable development, the green index system can be used to assess and monitor the environmental impact and sustainability of urban renewal projects, provide scientific basis for decision makers, and guide urban renewal to develop in a green, low-carbon and sustainable direction. China has incorporated green development and ecological civilization construction into the "13th Five-Year Plan" outline, and clearly put forward the major task of "comprehensively improving the quality of cities" in the "14th Five-Year Plan" outline, in order to accelerate the transformation of urban development mode and carry out urban renewal action. From a macro point of view, in the process of urban renewal, how to use a better evaluation system to plan the future development of urban green space and combine it with design practice is becoming more and more important. From the micro point of view, how the public environment and architectural space in different cities react, reflect, and even promote the process of urban renewal. In many parts of China, urban renewal based on the small block model is encouraged to be widely adopted, and local environmental improvements promote public health and support the transformation of cities to sustainable models based on theoretical, practical and political dimensions. This paper analyzes the urban renewal measures under different scales of landscape, architecture and community, and illustrates their responses to the green index system in urban renewal through cases. From the perspective of urban renewal, the paper combines macro-planning transformation and micro-renewal to analyze the green ecological goals achieved in the process of urban low-carbon development and ecological restoration.

Authors: Qin Yuxin
Published: August 2024

This study examines the influence of investor sentiment on stock investment returns in China's rapidly developing yet volatile securities market. Utilizing principal component analysis, a comprehensive investor sentiment index is constructed from six key indicators. The dynamic relationship between investor sentiment and stock market return volatility is explored through a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models. The findings reveal a significant bidirectional correlation, with positive optimism exerting a greater impact on stock returns than negative pessimism. The findings of this study indicate that investor sentiment exhibits a heightened sensitivity to declining returns as opposed to rising ones, offering valuable insights for both investors and policymakers.

The acquisition of foreign science and technology literature resources in specialized libraries amidst the challenges posed by science and technology blockade
Authors: Xiang Li , Lv Peng
Published: August 2024

Confronted with significant challenges in procuring foreign scientific and technological literature resources due to a global science and technology blockade, professional libraries are facing severe limitations imposed by the United States on China. These export control measures have severely hampered domestic scientific research institutions and universities from accessing foreign scientific and technological documents, thereby impeding China's progress in the field of scientific and technological innovation. To effectively address this predicament and enhance the ability to secure resources of foreign language scientific and technological literature, professional libraries should focus on the following five aspects: Firstly, diversify funding sources while expanding channels for procuring foreign periodicals; Secondly, increase procurement of English-language scientific and technological literature from non-American countries while organizing and categorizing these materials; Thirdly, strengthen access to non-English language scientific journals; Fourthly, promote collaborative construction and sharing of scientific and technological documents; Fifthly, develop localized versions of foreign digital resources. Ultimately, it is emphasized that bolstering one's own capabilities is key to overcoming barriers in accessing scientific and technological literature. Therefore, China should prioritize national-level development of digital academic platforms.

Authors: Wang Hailun , Wang Ying
Published: August 2024

This study examines whispered interpreting (WI), where interpreters translate spoken language in real-time at a soft volume. It underscores the Working Memory Model’s (WMM) utility in such tasks, which demand intense cognitive effort. A practical example from the 2023 China-ASEAN Expo showcases the model’s mechanisms enhancing interpreting efficiency. The phonological loop processes verbal information, the visuo-spatial sketchpad handles visual cues, and the episodic buffer consolidates complex data. Managed by the central executive, these elements collectively lighten the cognitive load and boost performance. The paper reveals WMM’s untapped potential, advocating for deeper investigation into its application in WI.

The consumption of maize contaminated by radionuclides may pose certain health challenges to the body. This research was conducted to investigate the possible danger radionuclides could cause. Soil and maize samples were obtained from different geological formations. They were analyzed using a Sodium Iodide-Thalium (NaI(TI)) detector. The activity concentration results from the soil samples show the highest values of 238U, 232Th and 40K as 14.74±0.26 Bqkg-1, 40.34±0.73 Bqkg-1 and 444.89±8.12 Bqkg-1 respectively which correspond to Ogwashi-Asaba, Ogwashi-Asaba and Imo shale geological formations. The findings from maize samples indicate the maximum values of 238U, 232Th and 40K as 16.46±0.25 Bqkg-1, 18.12±0.46 Bqkg-1 and 435.17±7.89 Bqkg-1 respectively which correspond to Benin, Ogwashi-Asaba and Ogwashi-Asaba geological formations. The outcome of mean transfer factor of 238U, 232Th and 40K corresponds to 0.942, 0.460 and 1.002. The absorbed dose rate ranges from 28.91 nGyh-1 to 36.08 nGyh-1. Radium equivalent varies from 49.40 Bqkg-1 to 98.75 Bqkg-1. Almost equal value (0.15×10-3) was assessed for the mean excess lifetime cancer risk. Although the activity concentration noted from maize is high, the evidence obtained shows that there is no geological formation with health risk problem as the external, internal and radioactivity hazard indices are less than unity.

Strategies for Sustainable Development: Leveraging Demographic Factors in Indonesia's Regions
Authors: Siregar Zulkifli , Nasution Zulkifli , . Rujiman , Purwoko Agus
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the impact of demographic factors on the demographic bonus and regional development in Indonesia, using a sample of 30 provinces from 2011 to 2019. Population growth positively influences both the demographic bonus and regional development. In contrast, life expectancy and contraceptive prevalence rate have negative effects on the demographic bonus. The school-age population positively impacts both the demographic bonus and regional development. The demographic bonus negatively affects regional development and fails to mediate the relationship between population growth and regional development. However, it mediates the effects of life expectancy and the school-age population on regional development. The analysis employs descriptive analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) using Smart-PLS. The findings recommend effective management of population growth, enhanced healthcare to improve life expectancy, and balanced birth control programs. Increased investment in education and inclusive development strategies are vital. Policies should facilitate the active participation of the working-age population, supported by continuous research and development to ensure responsive policy formulation. These recommendations aim to maximize the potential of the demographic bonus and support sustainable regional development in Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

The Jordanian banking sector is now seeing a significant change in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in human resource management (HRM). To assess the influence of this era on employee engagement and retention, 300 employees of Jordanian bank were the sample of the study. Using partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling, we have a look at investigating how pride mediates and organizational culture modifies those effects. The study found a favorable correlation between AI adoption (r = 0.65, p < 0.01) and Big Data use (r = 0.58, p < 0.05) and work satisfaction, organizational culture, savings technology, staff engagement, and positive connections with Jordanian savings banks. Furthermore, regression research demonstrates that AI adoption and usage of Big Data are predictive. AI and big data can optimize HRM practices and provide insights, leading to higher employee satisfaction (r = 0.72, p < 0.01). This can enhance competitive advantage and strategy in the digital age.

Published: August 2024

This paper analyzes, within the framework of responsible ecological behavior (REB), participation and environmental concern, resources saving, recycling and reuse of products in students from a Peruvian private university. Data for this study was obtained by completing self-administered questionnaires from a sample of 523 undergraduate students attending a university based in Lima and Ica, Peru. REB was segmented into three dimensions: Participation and Environmental Concern (PEC), Resources Saving (RS) and Recycling and Reuse (RR). A medium positive correlation was found between REB and PEC, while REB showed a positive correlation between the RS and RR dimensions at a significance level of 99%. A weak negative correlation was identified between REB and student gender; no correlation was found with age and region of origin. More than half of the students frequently practice habits that contribute to the protection of the environment; especially actions related to RS. RR behaviors reported less frequency in their usual practice, specifically reuse activities of aluminum cans and plastic containers, while PEC was the least common factor in pro-environmental practices. The apathy for externalization of environmental interest and lack of commitment in ecological campaigns demonstrate the low level of internalization of environmental culture in Peruvian university students.
A Reflection of Shared Economy Practices in the Wuat Wa’i Tradition, East Manggarai, Indonesia
Authors: Putri Stefani A M Aji , Hermawan Marko S.
Published: August 2024

The objective of this research is to understand the practice of the shared economy and the concept of debt within the Wuat Wa’i culture of the Waling Village community in East Manggarai, using an autoethnographic approach. Data were collected through literature studies, observations, and interviews with 21 informants. The findings show that the shared economy practice has three main characteristics: (1) interactions through social processes, such as the habit of visiting at any time, (2) money as a resource, and (3) temporary access creating the concept of debt. This practice brings three positive benefits: (1) values such as reduced financial burdens, equal educational opportunities, and improved social status, (2) independence, with community members solving educational cost issues independently, and (3) improved quality of life through enhanced human resources and community welfare. The concept of debt refers to a moral obligation to repay without a set timeframe, influenced by the time value of money and individual economic conditions. This moral debt creates concerns about social exclusion if not reciprocated, leading to negative behaviors such as borrowing to assist, especially for anak wina, issues in economic priority setting, and the culture of early coffee harvesting called kopi ijon.
