    Due to the inadequate quantity and quality of physical activity, more and more young people suffer from chronic illnesses. The aim of this study was to measure the health behavior of 5th, 7th and 9th grade students in a Hungarian (Tiszafüred) and a Romanian (Oradea) institution with special regard to physical activity. A total of 206 students participated in the study. The questionnaire included questions related to socio-demographic data and physical activity habits. Differences between the mean scores of continuous variables were assessed by Mann-Whitney tests, and the frequency differences between categorical variables were evaluated by Fisher exact tests. Most of the Hungarian students (88%) think that they do enough exercise, while this rate is 81% in the Romanian school. No significant difference was found between the two institutions relating to the frequency of out of-school physical activities (p = 0.304), and the opinion on doing exercise (p = 0.267). Based on our results we can say that doing exercise out of school is popular among students in both the Hungarian and Romanian schools.

    The paper empirically elaborates and tests a novel measurement model called a complex model of network structure exploration (CMNSE). This new measurement model gauges simultaneously, on one hand, structural features of nodes with degree distribution, on the other hand, the spatial characteristics of edges of a real network are investigated with quadrat analysis. The topology of the newest form of an economic network called coopetitive network is tested by CMNSE. Empirical findings reveal that this coopetitive network does not have scale-free property since its degree exponent belongs to the anomalous regime. Moreover, the spatial position of a hub and nodes can be pinpointed with CMNSE highlighting that nodes are clustered significantly in the periphery of the networked space, but the hub is localized in the center of the network.

    This paper provides insight into the Hungarian research results of resilience among children, carried out in the research workshop of Rubeus Association and Gál Ferenc University. Our objective by communicating the research results published in the study was to exhibit the process and areas of applicability of measure instrument developments completed between 2018-2021, in the public and civil society sectors of the Hungarian Family and Child Protective System. We measuered the child resilience and the parental attitudes among the different targetgroups in Hungary. The children and their parents consist of the sample who are in very difficult lifepositions, dispite of they able to live with the help of the innovative model program wich in they are supported by professionals to able to live.
