Coping Strategies of Elite Hungarian Junior Handball Players

Several studies provided instruments, with the possibility to measure self-assessment and coping strategies. This study aimed to study differences in coping strategies by age groups and gender in handball players. For psychological profile the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI-28) was applied, at elite Hungarian junior handball teams (n=288) in 2016-2017. On the scales Coping with Adversity and Freedom From worry males acquired significantly higher average values, females showed higher mean values of Goal Setting / Mental Preparation and Coachability. On Freedom from Worry, the oldest players performed the best, Coachability was highest in the youngest group. High values of Concentration were measured by playmakers, which was significantly higher than that of other offensive roles. With the results of our study, we would like to draw attention to the fact that for successful preparation, the knowledge of the athlete's coping skills and their self-knowledge are in dispensable.Jelen tanulmányunkban magyar utánpótlás korú (14-19 éves) kézilabdázók (n=288) sportolói megküzdési stratégiáit vizsgáltuk a nemek, életkorok és a kézilabda posztok tekintetében, AthleticCopingSkillsInventory (ACSI-28) segítségével. A Csapásokkal való megküzdés (11,69 vs. 11,00; F=2,670 p<0,01) és a Szorongásmentesség (9,94 vs. 9,12; F=2,670 p<0,01) skálákon a férfiak értek el szignifikánsan magasabb átlagot. Ezzel szemben a nők magasabb átlagot mutattak a Célkitűzés/mentális felkészültség (12,12 vs. 11,56; F=-2,121 p<0,05) és az Edző által irányíthatóság (13,28 vs. 12,12; F=-4,107 p<0,01). A Szorongásmentesség(10,55 vs. 9,88 vs. 8,83; F=6,880 p<0,01) skálán a legidősebb játékosok érték el a legmagasabb értékeket. Az Edző által irányíthatóság (F=9,617 p<0,01) a legfiatalabbak körében volt a legmagasabb. A kézilabda posztok alapján megállapíthatjuk, hogy a Koncentráció (F=2,612 p<0,05) és az Önbizalom/teljesítmény motiváció (F=3,067 p<0,05) skálákon mutatkoztak szignifikáns különbségek a csoportátlagokban. A Koncentráció tekintetében az irányítóknál látunk magas átlagot, amely szignifikánsan magasabb, mint a többi támadó poszton játszók esetében.Az Önbizalom esetében a szélsők csoportjában találhatóak a legmagasabb értékek. A tanulmányunk eredményeivel arra szeretnék felhívni a figyelmet, hogy az edzőknek a sikeres felkészülés érdekében figyelembe kell venniük a játékosaik nemét, életkorát, posztját, hiszen a teljesítmény növeléséhez elengedhetetlen a sportoló megküzdési képességeinek ismerete és a játékos önismerete

Community planning as a solution for the challenges of the spatial development

One of the weakness points of the Hungarian local development practice is that the participants of the development are not able to recognize the problems of the specific area, the objectives of the community. One of the methods of the regional development is to involve "external" experts, which has several disadvantages like the collected information are centralized in one hand and the decisions are made in that way, so not all of the local actors’ expectations are realized in the final plan. The base of the community planning is the early participation of the local actors in planning process. Hereby the community interests and goals are able to integrate into the final plan. The advantage of this type of planning is that all participants agree on the process and is committed to its implementation. In our research we intended to lit up the advantages of the planning methods as well as the difficulties during their application. Based on the information accumulated, it seems that the community planning requires more energy but still, the development which can be achieved is more successful

INNOVÁCIÓK TÉRSZERKEZET-MÓDOSÍTÓ HATÁSAINAK FŐBB ÖSSZEFÜGGÉSEI = MAJOR COHERENCES OF THE IMPACTS OF INNOVATIONS ON SPACE STRUCTURE

Az innovációk térszerkezet-módosító hatásai manapság kétségtelenül az érdeklődés középpontjában állnak, mivel a területi különbségek csökkentése elsődleges minden nemzeti kormányzat számára. Mivel már napjainkra a városi élet jellemző problémáit is érintik a területfejlesztés e sürgető problémái, így jelentősen sokan foglalkoznak már ezzel a témával. A jobb gazdasági feltételek és stratégiák iránti vágy egyik alapja az a felismerés volt, hogy folyamatossá válhat a regionális hanyatlás és a térbeli gazdasági, társadalmi válság állandósulhat. Az innovatív fejlesztések mögött egyre inkább az a felismerés rejlik, hogy a nyugat-európai államok területeinek gazdasági bázisát a feszített verseny és a technológiai váltás veszélyezteti. Összességében jól látható, hogy az innovációk bevezetésével megvalósított regionális fejlesztések, hosszú távú megoldásokat adhatnak a térszerkezet változásához.</jats:p

Agriculture in the town of Recas, Timis County

The solution to the food crisis that affects the entire world nowadays depends directly and decisively on increasing the agricultural yield, through rational use of the productive resources and technical and social modernization of agriculture, since agriculture is the main branch of world food economy. That is why the effort of all countries must be focused on increasing the availability of food worldwide. Agriculture has been the main - maybe still the only - food source for mankind; the number of people has been continually increasing and this poses a problem especially now, with the population explosion taking place in poor countries. These two major events make it not only necessary but also urgent for all nations to combine their efforts towards finding ways to accelerate the development of agriculture, in order to regulate the great discrepancies in food consumption and to ensure fair living conditions for all inhabitants of the earth. These risks can be reduced or even eliminated only by putting technologies into practice correctly, with the help and under the supervision of agronomists, animal husbandry specialists, veterinarians, chemists and biologists. We, Romanians, are still strongly tied by our origins, culture and mentalities to rural civilization, which may seem to be an impediment in our way to progress and modernization. Nevertheless, we will not solve the problems of modernization by cutting ourselves off from the village, but instead by integrating the villagers in this process which is by no means easy, but certainly long-lasting

The agricultural system in Belint, Timis County

The significant potential or Romanian agriculture, as well as the rise in prices for agricultural products worldwide could maintain the high interest displayed by foreign investors in this sector. This is one of the conclusions drawn by economic analysts regarding the field of agriculture. They claim that Romania presents the highest level of use of unemployed familial workers in agriculture among all EU countries. Another point they make is that the low investment rates have increased the vulnerability of Romanian agriculture to meteorological conditions and induced a volatile behaviour into this sector. The highly fragmented structure of the agricultural area represents an obstacle for attracting new investments, and at the same time it affects work productivity. The rural area is characterized by the existence of a considerable number of people who are economically and socially vulnerable, and who face difficulties in complying with the new set of complex EU requirements in the field of agriculture. The everrising prices represent an opportunity for the countries which benefit from strong agricultural sectors. România enjoys a privileged position from the point of view of the agricultural resources. The arable land represents 39.5% of the total surface: there are only five other countries in the world with a more comfortable position from this point of view. The domestic agricultural sector is frequently seen as the main beneficiary of the fact that Romania has become a part of the European Union. The opportunities arise from the important European funds that can be accessed in the frame of the Common Agricultural Policy - around 7.5 billion euro in the period between 2007 and 2013
