Health Behavior of Young People Aged 12–18 with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disabilities in Hungary
To improve mental well-being among affected children, psychological support and the implementation of mental health programs are recommended. In addition to teaching stress management techniques and coping mechanisms, integrating relaxation techniques into comprehensive developmental programs-both individually and in groups-is advised. For teachers, it is recommended to acquire disability-specific communication strategies

Comparative Health Behaviour of Young People with Disabilities in Hungary
The health status of Hungary's population is unfavorable, with significant differences in health indicators not only compared to the EU15 but also to the Visegrad countries. Unfavorable health indicators can be disproportionate and particularly affect vulnerable groups, such as people with disabilities. In this study, we set out to compare the health behavior of disabled youth and youth with typical development in Hungary. We also aimed to compar…
Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality and Life Cycle Closure
We propose a novel account of evolutionary transitions in individuality as life cycle closure : that is, the emergence of a new embedding life cycle. To characterize this process, we show how the life trajectory of lower-level entities (e.g., cells) can be coarse-grained into classes of a higher-level entity. We argue that only higher-level entities displaying two necessary conditions for the existence of a life cycle (e.g., multicellular organis…
From Fitness-Centered to Trait-Centered Explanations
Fitness has taken center stage in debates concerning how best to identify evolutionary transitions in individuality (ETIs). An influential framework proposes that an ETI occurs only when fitness is exported from constituent particles to a collective. We reformulate the conceptual structure of this framework as involving three steps. The culminating step compares “counterfactual” fitnesses against a long-run measure of fitness. This comparison ass…
Patients’ Assessment of Chronic Illness Care (Pacic)
The psychometric properties of the Hungarian version of PACIC questionnaire showed a reasonable level of validity among patients with type 2 diabetes. Now, this instrument is ready to assess the chronic care of diabetic patients in Hungary
On the Names of States
General questions of name of the state are rarely discussed in the literature of public law, political science or legal theory, its terminology is neglected, and in its current state, it is a source of many misunderstandings. Pointed out these terminological problems this study proposes a theoretical framework for the naming system of states which takes into accounts the public law components of names. Among these components the significance of f…
Renaming States—A Case Study
A provision of the Hungarian constitution, adopted in 2011, has renamed the state. The name changed from the Republic of Hungary to Hungary , while the form of the state has remained “republic”. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning, significance, and several consequences of this provision. The analysis consists of three main parts. The first one gives a general overview of the functions of the names of states. It claims that not on…

Relevance of Evolved Interests to Modern Morality
Consequentialism and Suffering
Philosophy as an event
If it is true that the conceptions philosophers have about the role of philosophy demonstrate their own philosophy, then in the work of Badiou and Žižek this particular role is tied to action and appeals to it. Even though Žižek is associated by those who know him with statements like “resistance is surrender” (Žižek 2007), it can be said that here he is underlining action conditioned by theory. Hence, it is only in this respect that we may explo…
