Sustainability Goals - Can we Reduce Malnutrition?
268-276Views:385Nowadays, some parts of the world hunger still exists. One of the milestones of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is eradicating hunger. These goals include a road map for progress and documenting specific steps to combat hunger. Another type of hunger that has been very common in these days is hidden hunger. Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger is still an illusion. The number of people living in extreme poverty and malnutrition has fallen slightly in recent years. Measuring hunger is a very complex issue. The Global Hunger Index is a tool to comprehensively measure and monitor hunger at global, regional and national levels. Despite noticeable improvements, the question remains: will the world achieve its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the eradication of hunger, by 2030? Despite these efforts, even in economically developed countries, hunger or food insecurity still exist.

Justification for the Olympic Reform Package Based on Good Practice
Views:455The Olympic Games have always been the pinnacle of sport and achievement. The modern Olympics are held every four years, and the venue is chosen from among the cities that apply. In my research, I wanted to find out the reasons for the decline in the popularity of the Games. To answer this question, I looked at 2 successful Olympics (2000 Sydney, 2012 London) in the hope of identifying success factors that could be adapted to other host countries. I conducted secondary research, reviewed related international and national research, and the available economic data. During the document analysis, I found that the expected costs of organising the Olympic have increased significantly over the last two to three decades, and under-planning is a common feature. As a result of the research, I have found that the most important pillars of successful organisation are a proper organising committee, comprehensive opportunity and risk analysis, accurate planning, sustainability in planning, continuous cost control, private sector support, and the work of volunteers.

Evaluation Opportunities tor Recreational Sport Services – Adapted to Higher Education Environment
150-164Views:325In our study, we analyse various researches dealing with quality aspects of sport services, and different quality models related to the interpretation of quality. The results which were obtained in the framework of primary research activity present the opinions of students from five different research universities. Sport services’ operation and sustainability are determined by market regulations, as parts of the service industry. Considering that the university leisure sports services take place in a competitive environment, the universities often have to compete with external sports service providers for achieving confidence of the young generations. For the qualitative tests, we used the QSport-14 measurement scale, which is generally applied by sports centres. This scale investigates the sports services according to three different aspects: (1) instructors, (2) infrastructural facilities and equipment and (3) offered sport programs. We have adapted the measurement scale to the university environment because of the differences and special characteristics of external sports service providers and university sports services. In addition, we analysed the factors influencing recreational sports, and we also examined that what changes would be needed in order to improve the quality of recreational sport activities in higher education.

Cybersecurity Challenges in Agricultural Digitalization: A Systematic Review with Python-Based Analysis
33-47Views:284The 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.

Analysis of the Policy Background of Transport Related Use of Renewable Energy
124-129Views:202The EU energy policy prioritizes the following principles: sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply and addresses the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as a priority. The related EU policy (including the White Paper on Transport) outlines these principles, identifies goals and opportunities for action. At company level methodological guidelines and standard procedures can be used to assess the carbon footprint of the organization, to generate efficiency goals and to prepare action plans. In the Hungarian policy framework, a comprehensive National Sustainable Development Framework Strategy defines the basic principles for the analysis of the sectorspecific or regional strategies. Sustainable Energy Action and Climate Plans (SECAPs) integrate energy and climate issues and include interventions and improvements for the better use of renewable energy sources in transport at municipal level. As a summary it can be stated that exploration of the policy background would needed to influence the use of renewable energy sources for transport and definition of the development goals can help economic organizations to transform their mobility patterns and reduce related carbon footprint.

The Global Electric Car Industry and the Related Indirect Emission
Views:731Our planet tries to create a more environmental friendly transport. Related to the car purchases we can determine the consumers’ attitudes have changed in the last years and we can say that the electric cars have become one of the most significant participants in the industry. In one of his investigations Christopher Buchal realised electric cars can burden the environment with more than 11-28% than the avarage engine cars. It is possible if we make difference between direct and indirect emission, because the direct emission of the electric cars is zero, but the indirect emission can be really high related to the power generation. My goal is giving a real picture about the electric car industry and presenting my suggestions for the future.
