  The increasing prevalence of diabetes has become one of the most important and challenging health issues in the world. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes in most regions of the world is paralleled by rapid economic development. We aim to investigate the relationship between increasing economic growth and diabetes prevalence. We are seeking answers whether the Kuznets hypothesis is true or not, such as economic growth is a cure for certain health problems, in this case diabetes. Our analysis was based on aggregated data from the European Health for All database (HFA-DB). We fitted second-order curves and calculated coefficients of determination. In all the countries diabetes prevalence has increased over the analyzed period, in line with the increase in GDP per capita. The coefficient of determination ranged between R2=0.95 and 0.81. Our analysis shows a correlation between GDP and diabetes prevalence. Portugal and the Czech Republic had significantly higher prevalence of diabetes compared to countries with similar economic development, while Turkmenistan, Greece, Kazakhstan and Iceland had significantly lower prevalence. Close attention should be paid to countries that have experienced a decline in diabetes prevalence to avoid the increasing economic burden. Research is needed to investigate the effects and circumstances led to lower diabetes prevalence despite high GDP per capita, so the increase in economic welfare is not associated with an increased prevalence of diabetes.

  Since the regime change in Hungary, the main federal task has been to strengthen the small and medium-sized ventures. The size of the category plays an important role in the employment as well as in the GDP production. Those areas that make businesses strong and reduce the risk of their activities are in the center of attention in this hardly predictable economic era. One of those areas is the views and methods of controlling which is still hardly adoptable to most of the CEOs in businesses. The introduction and the use of these operations give concrete results within a relatively short period of time, making the decision makers’ job easier at the companies. The study includes the examined SMEs, the design of business characteristics, the valuation of suppliers and customers, the production and the prime costs of the service. The vision of SMEs that characterizes the application of the tools and methods of controlling are also included.

  The pharmaceutical industry has huge market potential and investment opportunities, while pharmaceutical players also face a number of challenges, such as regulating the production and pricing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, protecting intellectual property and competing with other players. As a key sector of the Hungarian economy, the industry generates a significant share of GDP and has grown dynamically in recent years, the aim of our study is to compare the activities of Hungarian industry players with sectoral companies in other Visegrad countries, and thus to examine the similarities and differences in the liquidity management of the pharmaceutical industries in these countries. The analysis was based on the annual accounts of regional pharmaceutical companies for the period 2018-2022, extracted from the EMIS database.  The period covered included several globally significant events, and therefore our research also examined the impact of the coronavirus epidemic and the war in Ukraine on pharmaceutical companies and whether there were differences between the Central European countries. Overall, sectoral players in each of the region's countries were able to keep their indebtedness under control and, although Hungarian companies were able to manage the largest assets, by the end of the period the working capital efficiency of Polish companies was better than their regional competitors overall.
