Introduction of the Water Management of the Jászság Basin, Hungary

2025-09-21T12:23:02+02:00

The Jászság Basin in Northeastern Hungary presents a complex interplay of geological, hydrogeological, and anthropogenic factors that significantly affect water resource sustainability. Surrounded by karstic and volcanic formations, the basin’s sedimentary aquifer systems are sensitive to both natural and human-induced stressors. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the region’s lithostratigraphy, hydrogeological structure, and historical water management practices, including the impacts of lignite mining and water abstraction. Long-term groundwater monitoring reveals declining trends, particularly in intermediate and deep aquifers, disconnected from surface water systems. Birinyi Edina’s drought model identifies the Jászság as one of Hungary’s most vulnerable areas for both drought and inland excess water, emphasizing the need for spatially targeted planning. Correlation analyses confirm limited vertical recharge and emphasize the fragmented nature of the monitoring network. The findings underscore the urgent need for high-resolution hydrological data, enhanced legal reporting, and integrated management approaches. The Jászság Basin thus serves as a representative case for addressing lowland groundwater challenges under increasing climate and extraction pressures.

Multichannel distribution strategies in the european cookware industry

2026-05-04T21:20:07+02:00

This study analyses the multichannel distribution strategy of Groupe SEB Central-Europe Kft., a leading cookware manufacturer in Hungary, focusing on its four channels: online and offline direct-to-consumer (DTC), business-to-business (B2B), and indirect wholesale/retail. The research combines secondary data with five semi-structured expert interviews to assess channel structures, operational roles, and strategic trade-offs in the context of changing European cooking habits, generational patterns, and post-COVID e-commerce growth. The findings show that indirect retail – especially electro specialist partners – still generates most of the revenue, while the online DTC channel records the fastest growth, reflecting wider digital disintermediation trends. Persistent channel conflicts arise around pricing, portfolio allocation, and the tension between manufacturer-led DTC expansion and long-term retailer relationships. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations, including artificial intelligence (AI)-based customer service, live commerce, and data-driven inventory management, highlighting their potential to support more resilient, efficient, and consumer-centric distribution systems in the European cookware sector.

Combined effect of pre-strain and ageing treatment on the tensile- shear strength behaviours of Al6082 aluminium alloys joined by clinching

2026-06-26T13:37:24+02:00

Clinching is the joining process in which two or more materials are joined by plastic deformation without the use of consumable parts. Therefore, it has no effect on the components’ weight. Nowadays, most vehicle industries use this technology. When joining Al6082 aluminium alloys in the as-received condition by clinching, the joint cannot be formed due to the material’s poor formability compared with other aluminium alloy series. Therefore, solution heat treatment (SHT) is performed on the sheet to increase the material’s ductility before joining. Additionally, a pre-strain is applied to the sheet before joining, since most car components are pre-strained during stamping, stretching, or forming processes, thereby introducing internal strain. Therefore, this study investigates the combined effect of pre-straining and post-clinching ageing on tensile-shear energy absorption and failure during the clinching of Al68082 sheet. The results show that as the post-clinching time increased, the joint’s tensile-shear and energy absorption increased. Additionally, the sheet’s pre-strain before joining affects joint strength. A fully neck-crack failure mode is observed in all combined effects. The study highlights that the combined effect of pre-strain and post-clinching ageing significantly affects the structural integrity of the clinched joint.

What criteria can be established for the development of a sustainable supply chain?

2026-05-04T18:53:16+02:00

The utilization of renewable energy sources and the intensification of efforts aimed at reducing environmental burdens constitute fundamental prerequisites for the preservation of the Earth and its ecosystems. These considerations have become increasingly embedded at both societal and economic levels, leading to growing expectations within the business sector for the adoption of so-called “green technologies”, particularly in the context of logistics operations. Such technologies, process reconfigurations, and methodological innovations often require substantial capital investment, which not all firms are capable of undertaking. For these companies, outsourcing represents a viable strategic alternative. This study focuses on the outsourcing of green logistics activities. Its primary objective is to develop a comprehensive set of criteria that facilitates the selection of logistics service providers offering environmentally sustainable logistics solutions. The main contribution of the paper is a weighted scoring model that enables the objective comparison and ranking of green logistics service providers based on a predefined set of environmental and operational performance criteria. This approach support decision-makers in navigating complex outsourcing scenarios by enhancing transparency and rationality in the evaluation process.

New materials candidates for new-generation nuclear power plant applications

2025-11-24T13:44:10+01:00

The global population, currently around 7 billion, is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Meeting the growing energy demand is essential for improving quality of life and socio-economic development requires accessible and sustainable energy sources. Traditional fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and natural gas pose serious environmental challenges and are not viable long-term solutions. A transition to cleaner and more efficient energy sources is critical to mitigate the impacts of global climate change. Nuclear energy, which emits no greenhouse gases, offers a promising alternative while other renewable technologies continue to evolve. In this context, MAX phases—a class of thermodynamically stable nano-laminated ceramics—are being explored for their potential use in nuclear reactors, particularly in fuel cladding applications due to their resilience in extreme environments.

Typical occupational diseases in healthcare based on a questionnaire survey

2026-06-26T14:33:07+02:00

Occupational safety for healthcare workers has undergone significant changes over the centuries, shaped by advances in medical science, technological innovations and shifts in social attitudes. Current challenges in occupational health care for healthcare workers include global pandemics (e.g. COVID-19), the ageing of the medical workforce, and growing psychosocial pressure. Future developments should pay particular attention to protecting mental health, advancing protective equipment technology, and reducing workplace risks. Work in the healthcare sector is considered a highly hazardous field, and employees must face numerous risks, including biological and chemical hazards, the psychological risks arising from overload, ionising radiation, and the strain caused by physical workload and night work alike (Dudás, 2019). These risks can contribute significantly to the development of various occupational diseases. The aim of this research is to review the most common occupational diseases characteristic of healthcare workers and their risk factors, to assess the health status of employees using a questionnaire-based method, to highlight the problems arising during everyday work, and to shed light on strategies that can be applied for their prevention.

Algorithmic AI controlling

2026-04-20T13:45:56+02:00

This study examines the controlling effects of artificial intelligence-based algorithms on consumer behaviour from a marketing science perspective. Algorithmic controlling is defined as a set of digital mechanisms that filter, rank, and present content based on users’ prior behaviour, search history, and preference data, thereby shaping decision-making contexts. The research employs a thematic and interpretative synthesis of recent European-focused literature. The analysis identifies six key mechanisms of algorithmic controlling: scarcity messages, recommendation systems, filter bubbles and echo chambers, dark patterns in user interface design, dynamic and personalised pricing, and social proof manipulation. The study contends that these algorithms are not neutral intermediaries but act as active control elements in the digital consumer environment, with significant implications for vulnerability, fairness, and trust. The discussion further situates these mechanisms within the evolving EU regulatory framework, with particular attention to the Digital Services Act and the AI Act. The contribution of this research is to offer an integrative framework that connects technological, behavioural, and regulatory dimensions for a more comprehensive understanding of algorithmic influence in digital markets.

The safe side of hydrogen

2026-04-20T13:29:58+02:00

We currently depend on two raw materials that are both finite and highly polluting to our health and atmosphere. The current global situation could be a good economic, cultural and mental prelude to the post-oil era. Much more stable and predictable energy security is needed. Due to global climate conditions, it is advisable to give priority to fuels with high energy content and relatively easy production, such as hydrogen. However, the widespread deployment of hydrogen refuelling stations is hampered by significant safety challenges, including hydrogen’s high flammability, its tendency to leak and its high-pressure storage requirements. This study investigates how digital twin technology can be used to improve the safety and operational efficiency of hydrogen facilities. A dynamic digital twin model was developed using the MATLAB/Simulink environment, replicating critical components such as the compressor, high-pressure buffer tank, heat exchanger, cooler and dispenser. The methodology involved integrating real-time data streams with virtual models and validating the simulation with operational data from an existing Hungarian refuelling station. The results show that the digital twin system accurately tracks critical parameters, with the vehicle tank temperature reaching 61.5 °C and the storage pressure rising to 955 bar, both within the safe operating range. The simulation confirmed that the system provides effective real-time leak detection, automatic alarms and accurate mass flow measurement, delivering 6.2 kg of hydrogen during a 300-second refuelling period. In conclusion, the digital twin technology offers significant potential for the safe development of hydrogen infrastructure by enabling predictive maintenance and optimized energy consumption. While challenges such as big data and infrastructure costs remain, the integration of artificial intelligence and advanced sensors into the digital twin will play a key role in the transition to a sustainable and reliable hydrogen economy.
