The aim of health improvement can also be facilitated by extending the proportion of well-cared-for green areas in city centres, or, by rehabilitating particular buildings, streets, or districts; these developments have an obviously beneficial psychological effect on people. The establishment of such 'livable cities' can be rewarding from the point view of tourism, too, because, in general, tourists are happy if they can spend their free time in an urban environment which is devoid of visual conflicts. This is the reason why our team of researchers attempted to identify a so-called 'Visual Livability Index' (VLI) with the aim of qualifying the state our urban environment is in. When identifying the formerly mentioned index, primarily those positive and negative characteristic features are determined, which may have an impact on the aesthetic value of the settlement. Then, after summarizing the results of evaluations, the next step taken is when the streets, squares, whole districts of the given settlement, or even the entire city is qualified with the help of the VLI index, thus making the results comparable with those of other similar settlements.

This article aims to present his scientific talent management at the University of Pécs through the data of his PhD students (n=63). During the analysis we used university publications and electronic databases, as well as Spearman’s correlation calculation, independent T-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, Kruskal–Wallis test and Chi-squared test to explore the relationships. The largest proportion of students were born and worked in the Southern Great Plain, North Hungary and Transdanubia, however the winner of the regional talent migration is Transdanubia. The professional openness of the professor is reflected in the topic selection of the dissertations completed under his supervision. His students, carrying on his intellectual heritage, are still active in scientific publishing. The charismatic personality, world view and professional knowledge of the head of doctoral school are manifested in the diversity and academic perform...

In this review, we explain how RONS regulate muscle contraction and signaling, and why they are important for membrane remodeling, protein turnover, gene expression, and epigenetic adaptation. We discuss how RONS regulate carbohydrate uptake and metabolism of skeletal muscle, and how they indirectly regulate fat metabolism through silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 3 (SIRT3). RONS are causative/associative signaling molecules, which cause sarcopenia or muscle hypertrophy. Regular exercise influences redox biology, metabolism, and anabolic/catabolic pathways in skeletal muscle in an intensity dependent manner.

In this narrative review, the Motoriktest für Vier- bis Sechjärige Kinder (MOT 4–6), Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (M-ABC-2), Motorische Basiskompetenzen (MOBAK) Körperkoordinationtest für Kinder (KTK), Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD), Maastricht Motoriek Test (MMT) and the Bruininks–Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 (BOT-2) were analyzed from a methodological perspective, such as the number of test items, tools and types of tests, in terms of the FMS area. The analysis revealed that to assess locomotor movement skills, the BOT-2 has an excellent test for running ability, but for detecting technical difficulties, the TGMD is recommended. To test hopping, the MMT is the best test. Object control movement skills are measured with throws, dribbles and catches. Most of the tools assessed these skills, but it turned out that the TGMD is the...

A városi zöldterületek helyszínt biztosítanak a rendszeres testmozgáshoz, így – ökológiai jelentőségükön túl – részt vesznek a városlakók egészségének, jóllétének megőrzésében is. Jelen munkánk egy már megkezdett szegedi empirikus vizsgálatunkhoz, a szegedi Erzsébet-liget sportrekreációs parkhasználatának feltárásához kapcsolódó szakirodalmi áttekintés. Bemutatja a városi parkok jelentőségét, funkcióit, valamint azok szerepét az ember jó szomatikus, pszichés és szociális közérzetének létrehozásában, különös tekintettel a fizikai aktivitásra és néhány olyan változóra, ami mindazt befolyásolja (pl. elérhetőség, szociodemográfiai különbségek). Annak ellenére, hogy a fizikai aktivitást, valamint a zöldterületek elérhetősége és használata közötti összefüggést vizsgáló kutatási eredmények meglehetősen szerteágazóak, általánosságban elmondható, hogy a szabadtéri rekreációs i...

Akkor a vizsgálatainkat a különböző típusú vizuális egységek értékelésével végeztük. Ebben a tanulmányban térinformatikai adatok (Sentinel-2 multispektrális felvételek, szakági nyilvántartási térképek) és eszközök (SNAP 8.0-SeNtinel Applications Platform és QGIS Desktop 3.4) segítségével próbáljuk igazolni a korábbi eredményeinket és kiterjeszteni a teljes-az országhatártól Tiszakécskéig tartó-Tisza szakaszra a vizsgálatot, melynek végeredménye egy akár online használható tematikus térkép, amely a vízitúra időszakában (nyári vegetáció) színekkel mutatja, melyek a leglátványosabb partszakaszok, illetve hol van lehetőség a csónakokkal kikötésre.

The research methodology was based on the theoretical division of the riverside into more or less homogeneous , easily observable sections (called visual units), and then they were evaluated one by one. Objectivity was one of the most important aims; researchers attempted to achieve it by applying the value-selection method. Following the evaluation of each sample section of the riverside area, all sections were then assigned to three different categories. Those sections which were capable of generating positive feelings were placed under the category 'Attractive', those which were capable of arousing less enthusiasm were assigned to the category of 'Neutral', and those which could be characterized by visually conflict...

The digital version of the Hungarian Biographical Encyclopedia, containing nearly 20,000 entries was used for this purpose. The indicators, gained from the data available and the conclusions derived fom them, as well as the spatial patterns are all the results of a broad perspective of model analysis. The results of our research revealed the concentration processes of sport talent streaming, the predominance and draining effect of Budapest, the larger capacity of sport talent nurturing in the southern part of the Hungarian Great Plain, and he north-eastern allocation of the sport culture in Hungary in the last centuries. This research is related to the talent geography and also the geography of sports with it's new methods and thematic maps. Key words: sports geography, talents geography, sports ta...

A napjainkban megélénkülő újraiparosodási folyamat elsősorban a betelepült nemzetközi nagyvállalatok beruházásain keresztül, mintegy a globális ipari átrendeződés részfolyamataként zajlik, de markánsan megjelennek benne a helyi adottságok, lehetőségek is. Mindez az ipar területi szerkezetére is erőteljes hatással van: egyrészt a hagyományos ipari területek megújulásával, funkcióváltásával, másrészt újak megjelenésével. Az újraiparosodás azon térségekben lehet sikeres, melyek földrajzi fekvése kedvező, s emellett rendelkeztek mozgósítható humán, illetve egyéb erőforrásokkal. A mai területfejlesztési politika nem hanyagolhatja el az ipari fejlődés elősegítését, az ipari decentralizáció folytatását, az ipari vállalkozások fővároson kívüli, saját gazdasági intézményeinek, telephelyei fejlesztéseinek támogatását, valamint a nemzeti és helyi piac szereplőinek segítését.

Differences reflect the disparities concerning the opportunities for talent improvement. As it is attested by experience, school achievements are significant indicators of the individuals’ future career. On the other hand, talent improvement within the walls of a school is only one aspect of the many, which hints at the learners’skills and abilities, necessary from the point of view of further and more advanced studies. But several other aspects of secondary school education remain hidden behind the statistics, although, they might also play a role in assisting talented students. Growing inequality in the educational system serves as a warning sign, since it is a well known fact that in modern IT societies and economies the competitiveness of the human resources has become a factor of utmost importance

International student mobility is mostly positively considered by casestudy literature: it extends its economic benefit to the host university, as well as the city, the region and the country. The University of Szeged plays a key role in Szeged’s economy. Students participating in international training offer economic benefits for both the university and the city. The number and proportion of foreign students is growing steadily, mainly in foreign-language, undivided and doctoral programs, especially in the fields of medical and health sciences. Europe is still the largest sender area, but the Asian “markets” are also expanding rapidly. 15% of all the university students in Szeged are foreigners coming from more than one hundred countries. At the same ...
