European perceptions and engagement with Japan, Its culture and art in a global historical context
A discussion of embedded or learned perceptions -often overlooked when it comes to dealing with Japanese art and culture in Europeis inevitable .It is also essential to emphasise the importance of understanding the broader historiographical, semantic, topical, social and psychological context of Japan's reception .This is crucial because current perceptions about Japan can significantly influence how non-Japanese think of Japanese art and culture…
The Landsupport Geospatial Decision Support System ( S‐dss ) Vision
Nowadays, there is contrasting evidence between the ongoing continuing and widespread environmental degradation and the many means to implement environmental sustainability actions starting from good policies (e.g. EU New Green Deal, CAP), powerful technologies (e.g. new satellites, drones, IoT sensors), large databases and large stakeholder engagement (e.g. EIP‐AGRI, living labs). Here, we argue that to tackle the above contrasting issues dealin…
A framework for co‐designing decision‐support systems for policy implementation
This work proposes a framework for co‐designing decision‐support tools for sustainable land management and soil protection at multiple scales. Geospatial dashboards, due to their key capabilities in the use of spatial or geospatial information, are quickly gaining traction for planning and policymaking. Developing the decision‐support system (DSS) as a transversal system capable of capturing trends in land and soil properties at the local, region…
Long-term impact of unhealthy food tax on consumption and the drivers behind
Several countries have introduced public health product taxes with the objective of reducing the absolute amount of consumption of unhealthy food and tackling obesity. This study aims to estimate the long-term impact of the Hungarian public health product tax introduced in 2011. To achieve this, a unique consumer purchase dataset was analysed to examine daily fast-moving consumer goods purchases from a representative sample of 2,000 households fr…
Reshaping Social Capital During the Pandemic Crisis
This article presents findings about the impact of the first Covid‐related lockdown on the face‐to‐face (FTF) interpersonal contact networks of the Hungarian adult population. Our primary objective is to understand how the size, composition, and quality of such networks have changed. We base our analysis on the contact‐diary method. Our data were collected from two representative surveys of the Hungarian adult population: one in 2015 (N = 372) an…
Political inequality in participation index - a Gini-based measure of inequalities in political participation
Measuring inequalities in political participation across social groups is a challenging task as participation is typically coded in dummy variables. For instance, social scientists record whether their respondents have voted in the previous elections (1) or not (0). In this paper, we identify a list of desirable criteria that an inequality index used for empirical comparative studies should meet. Existing inequality indices fail to satisfy one or…
Vaping-Related Adverse Events and Perceived Health Improvements
Web-based samples of e-cigarette users commonly report significant vaping-related health improvements (HIs) and mild adverse events (AEs). This cross-sectional study with in-person interviewing data collection examined self-reported AEs and perceived HIs among Hungarian adult current daily exclusive e-cigarette ( n = 65) and dual users ( n = 127), and former daily e-cigarette users ( n = 91) in 2018. Logistic regression was used to evaluate assoc…
Perspectives of land evaluation of floodplains under conditions of aridification based on the assessment of ecosystem services
Global climate change has discernible impacts on the quality of the landscapes of Hungary. Only a dynamic and spatially differentiated land evaluation methodology can properly reflect these changes. The provision level, rate oftransformation and spatial distribution of ecosystem services (ESs) are fundamental properties of landscapes and have to be integral parts of an up-to-date land evaluation. For agricultural land capability assessment soil f…
The interrelations of land ownership, soil protection and privileges of capital in the aspect of land take
The novelty of this study lies in the analyses of legislation concerning land use policies by examining the specific boundary between land ownership and land take. The basic motive was that the European Commission (EC) withdrew the Soil Framework Directive (SFD) in 2014 following the objections of certain Member States (MS) who countered that as most lands are privately owned, they should not fall under the remit of public governance. Since the w…
Gap assessment in current soil monitoring networks across Europe for measuring soil functions
Soil is the most important natural resource for life on Earth after water. Given its fundamental role in sustaining the human population, both the availability and quality of soil must be managed sustainably and protected. To ensure sustainable management we need to understand the intrinsic functional capacity of different soils across Europe and how it changes over time. Soil monitoring is needed to support evidence-based policies to incentivise…
Pro-government demonstrations in Hungary – citizens’ autonomy and the role of the media
In the past few years, Hungary has witnessed numerous pro-government demonstrations. Because such demonstrations are typically associated with authoritarian regimes, it is a puzzling question regarding what motivates citizens to take to the streets in support of a government ruling with a two-thirds majority. In order to answer this question, we conducted a survey to identify the factors that contribute to the mobilisation of citizens at these de…
A választói viselkedés térbeli modellje – empirikus kísérlet budapesti adatok alapján
A tanulmány a választói magatartás térbeli modellezésének a hazai környezetben nem közismert módszerét mutatja be. Az adatbázis nyilvánosan elérhető, szavazóköri adatokból épült fel. A címlistában szereplő fővárosi szavazóköri adatokat geokódoltuk és az úgynevezett Getis-féle nemparaméteres szűrés segítségével elemeztük. Ez annyit jelent, hogy a modellbe beléptetett függő és független változókat térbeli és térbeli hatástól mentes összetevőkre bon…
Evaluation of Environmental Performance of Companies
The paper portrays environmental performance evaluation as a novel, innovative, applicable method or group of methods, which is not free of difficulties, but ultimately leads to the right direction. Apart from the analytical explanation and evaluation of 11 EPE methods, the article systematises them, via classifying into five clusters, based on their complexity. After that a logical sequence of using the methods is sketched, this is most relevant…
