Volunteering in Sport
217-230Views:772The subject of our research was the examination of the sports ambition and its motivational background. Our aim was to examine the volunteer experience of young adults in volunteering. Our goal was also to analyze the areas in which sports are chosen most voluntarily and what motivates them in sport. The basis for our questionnaire research was the concept of volunteering "4 W" (who, what, where, why). The questionnaire was designed to answer these questions in relation to sports ambition. The data of the questionnaire completed by 371 young adults (mean age = 23.93, sd = 9.93) were analyzed using SPSS statistical software, where we calculated basic statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, mode) and Chi2 test. More than 75% of the respondents have already worked as volunteers. One of the most popular areas of volunteering was sport. The most frequented volunteering area was among schoolchildren and students as well as university sports among young people, after which the area of competition and recreational sports proved to be the most popular. The main motivation of young volunteer workers was the following, : „I had a good mood”, „I loved sport”, „teamwork”, „work experience”, „learning and skill development” and „career perspective”. Organizations, marketing and communication areas in the field of sporting events and sportsclubs volunteering were the most popular in the area where the respondents had experience. A significant difference was found in the field of organizing and marketing volunteering in sports events, 61% of Hungarians worked, while respondents from other countries were only 34.2% (p <0.05). In the field of communication, higher values of respondents from other countries (45.7%), compared with Hungarians (33.7%) (p <0.05).

The Relationship between Family Background and Labor Market Success
88-97Views:599In our study, we undertake to explore the social background of fresh graduates (has absolutorium) by field of study. In doing so, we put great emphasis on the educational attainment of the parents and the financial situation of the family, as these factors can have a significant impact on young people's learning opportunities, attitudes and career paths. In the theoretical part of our research, we consider it important to present the experiences of domestic and international authors on the socio-economic situation. Subsequently, the 2015 Graduate Career Tracking System (DPR) database provided us an excellent opportunity to study the complex data collected by the 34 higher education institutions. In our analysis, we highlighted the different socio-economic backgrounds of graduates from different disciplines. Based on our research, we have concluded that young people from richer families are in a better position on the labor market, earning higher incomes than children of parents with lower social status

Statistical Evaluation of University Student’s Motivation and Personal Competency with Principal Component and Cluster Analysis
365-374Views:343The aim of the research is to do a statistical evaluation of agricultural and rural development engineer student’s motivation and personal competency. It sums up the late generation Y’s characteristics and challenges. To be a successful, graduated employee, not only the skill is needed but the personal competency as well. Altogether, 121 filled out questionnaires were collected from the students which were the prime source of the research. They had to evaluate influential factors to their motivation level and competence. The database was analyzed with descriptive statistic methods, principal component and cluster analysis. Studying the personal competency, five different factors were divided based on Belbin’s team roles and four clusters. The four clusters were established by the five factors. Analyzing the student’s educational motivation four different components were divided: the need of performance, social entertainment, the benefits of learning in the near future and the reach of the financial freedom. Based on the four components, generating clusters was not possible due to the significance level of the K-means cluster analysis because it was higher than 0,05 in every grouping variables.

Application of Heutagogical Methods in Entrepreneurship Education
364-373Views:278According to Kuit and Fell (2010) the educators’ task is to develop the learners’ lifelong learning skills to be able to apply their skills and competences in and efficient and creative way in new situations in a constantly changing environment. Kamenetz (2010) argues that neither the pedagogical nor the andragogical teaching methods are suitable for performing well in their job, but more and more a self-directed and self-determined approach is needed in which the learner reflects on what and how he learned, and the educator teaches the learner how to teach himself. The concept of heutagogy provides such principles and practices which can give an answer for the above-mentioned challenges in higher education. The authors examined how the heutagogical methods can be adapted at entrepreneurial courses and how the students evaluated these courses.

What is the function? – experiences of an occasion among the secondary school students
560-570Views:231In the frame of the project EFOP-3.6.1-16-2016-00022 „Debrecen Venture Catapult Program" it was held an occasion among secondary school students the aim of which was formation of that concept which is very important in the engineering area. In many cases in order to solve problems necessary that students have an "ideal" function concept image (the image is interrelated with the notion of the concept) and they can change between different representations of the function. In our paper we will show the experiences of the occasion in which was formed the function concept by investigation of several relationships from the everyday life and engineering area with the help of individual and cooperative learning method.

The Cluster as a Learning Organization
313-330Views:234Globalizálódó világunkban, ahol a KKV-k egyre inkább részeseivé vállnak a nemzetközi piaci versenynek, a klaszterek szerepe a cégek versenyképességének támogatásában meghatározó. Az elmúlt évtizedben jelentősen megnőtt az érdeklődés az innovációs klaszterek iránt, mely mögött részben az a felismerés húzódhat, hogy a vállalatok versenyelőnyét nem csupán a saját kompetenciái, erőforrásai jelentik, hanem a földrajzilag közeli üzleti környezetében fellelhetőek is. Ahhoz, hogy a klaszterek eredményesen tudjanak működni, bizonyos egyéni és szervezeti kompetenciákat birtokolnia kell. A hatékonyan működő klaszterekre tekinthetünk úgy, mint tanuló szervezet, hiszen az egyének törekednek képességeik folyamatos fejlesztésére, a közös tanulás képességének elsajátításában motiváltak, kollektív elképzelések, közös célkitűzésekés és azok megvalósítására való törekvés jellemzik. A tökéletes tanuló szervezet rendelkezik a folyamatos innováció teremtő képességgel, melyhez nagymértékben hozzásegíti a folyamatos tanulási folyamat, amely új tudást és magatartásváltozásokat eredményezve, hozzásegíti a környezeti változásokhoz való alkalmazkodását. A tanulási folyamatok esetében fontos szem előtt tartani, hogy legalább olyan ütemben tanuljuk, fejlődjünk, amit a környezeti változások megkívánnak. A készségek, képességek, a klaszterszintű együttműködés szempontjából azért töltenek be kiemelt szerepet, mert ha a partnerek nem rendelkeznek a kooperációhoz szükséges kompetenciákkal, akkor az együttműködés lehet bármennyire előnyös, az nem lesz eredményes, hiszen csak korlátozott működésre lesz képes. Miként segítheti elő a „Tanuló szervezet-ként” való viselkedés a klasztert, hogy a szükséges kompetenciákat megfelelő szinten birtokolja? A cikk vezérfonalát a klaszterek eredményes működéséhez szükséges kompetenciák beazonosítása, valamint a klasztereken belüli tudásmenedzselés, tudásmegosztás megvalósulásának vizsgálata adja.

Cybersecurity Challenges in Agricultural Digitalization: A Systematic Review with Python-Based Analysis
33-47Views:430The intersection of agriculture and cybersecurity has become a prominent research focus in recent years, driven by the rapid adoption of IoT (Internet of Things) and precision farming technologies. These technological innovations have revolutionized agricultural processes, enhancing efficiency and sustainability while introducing significant security risks. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to address key cybersecurity issues in agriculture, with a particular emphasis on IoT vulnerabilities and threats. Using Python-based text analysis techniques, the research automated the analysis of abstracts and full texts, enabling rapid filtering and thematic categorization of relevant studies. From an initial pool of 1,039 publications, 40 relevant studies were identified based on rigorous screening criteria. The thematic analysis revealed that 44.9% of the publications focus on IoT device vulnerabilities, 32.7% on agricultural cybersecurity challenges, and 22.4% on the security issues of Agriculture 4.0 and precision farming. Methodological analysis indicated that machine learning, simulation models, and case studies dominate the research landscape, while surveys and experimental studies appear less frequently. The findings highlight the critical importance of developing robust cybersecurity strategies and technologies in the agricultural sector, particularly to mitigate the risks posed by IoT devices.

Development of engineering and innovation skills
364-369Views:256Spatial visualization skills have an important role in teaching and learning of engineering studies. Many studies have shown that there are correlations between various measures of spatial skills and performance in particular Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Many engineering students have problems with solving mathematics problems, using mathematical models in practice, imagining a spatial figure and therefore to solve the spatial geometry exercises, so development of these abilities is very important. We have developed special tools and worksheets for development of engineering and innovation skills.

Maintenance Strategies and Life Cycle Costs of Renewable Energy Systems
106-116Views:262Life cycle costs are important factors in decisions on renewable energy investments. Since maintenance costs generally constitute a high portion of the life cycle costs, the maintenance strategy applied in a project can affect the bottom line significantly. The effective maintenance tools used in the production industry (e.g., diagnostics, condition monitoring, data management, integrated information systems, machine learning, and automated decision making) can be involved in planning and maintenance of renewable energy systems to gain the benefits of these approaches. In this paper the effects of maintenance strategies on life cycle costs are investigated and the benefits of up-to-date condition monitoring techniques are presented through case studies.

The Challenges of the Labour Law and Economic in the Future Labour Market
116-130Views:995The aim of the study is to examine how the effects of globalization affect the global labor market, and how high-level automation and digitalization affect the expectations of labor market actors and the world of labor law. We analyze the legal framework and the economic and social utility of acquiring competences for new challenges in the industry. We will look in more detail at the future of the low-skilled labor force in a changing labor market as a function of acquiring new competencies. We believe that changes in the labor market and novel processes will also pose new challenges for employers and employees. Changes in the labor market raise the question of what kind of benefits an outgoing worker will receive until he or she acquires new competencies. Is the social welfare system in the current sense capable of supporting lifelong learning, or is it necessary to explore alternatives such as basic income? All this needs to be done in the light of the legal and economic scrutiny of the concepts of efficiency and economy. This is because acquiring competences for the new employee also brings new added value.

A Literature Review: Artificial Intelligence Impact on the Recruitment Process
108-119Views:22180This paper aim is to review the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Human Resources Management (HRM) recruitment processes. A systematic review was adopted in which academic papers, magazine articles as well as high rated websites with related fields were checked. The findings of this study should contribute to the general understanding of the impact of AI on the HRM recruitment process. It was impossible to track and cover all topics related to the subject. However, the research methodology used seems to be reasonable and acceptable as it covers a good number of articles which are related to the core subject area. The results and findings were almost clear that using AI is advantages in the area of recruitment as technology can serve best in this area. Moreover, time, efforts, and boring daily tasks are transformed to be computerized which makes a good space for humans to focus on more important subjects related to boosting performance and development. Acquiring automation and cognitive insights as well as cognitive engagement in the recruitment process would make it possible for systems to work similarly to the human brain in terms of data analysis and the ability to build an effective systematic engagement to process the data in an unbiased, efficient and fast way.

Application of Team Coaching Tools for University Education – Case Study
445-456Views:659In 2010 the innovative Finnish higher education system (Tiimiakatemia – Team Academy) was launched at University of Debrecen Faculty of Economics and Business, which was also awarded by OECD and has been run at JAMK University of Applied Sciences in Jyvaskyla since 1993. In this system, we create team entrepreneurs who have to work together in teams. In this research the authors would like to look at how we can use the team coaching tools as a part of this model in our team entrepreneur education system to build high performing teams. Tuckman named five stages of team formation: forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. A new team cannot be expected to perform as an excellent team when it first comes together. It takes time forming a team, and they often go through recognizable stages as they change from being a collection of strangers to a united group with common goals. You have to understand it at first, than you can help your team become effective more quickly. Authors of this study work as team coaches in Team Academy Debrecen. In the last 6 years we have worked with several teams and experienced how group dynamics present at the teams and change through the learning process. We have faced with great storming period at different teams and managed to build high performing entrepreneur teams as well. Our experiences are introduced as case studies, after analysing, consequences will be concluded. As in the EFQM model we can find that to survive in the global competitive markets companies need the best teams for the best results.
