A minőség: új vezetési paradigma, avagy mit jelent a "kiválóság" a vezetésben

A tanulmány az ismert vezetési és szervezeti paradigmáktól eltérő szempontok alapján kíséreli meg leírni a gazdasági racionalitás alapján működő szervezetekben a vezetési munka, a menedzsment minőségét. Az első rész a minőségközpontú vezetési paradigma más paradigmáktól való eltérését, a második rész pedig a minőségorientált vezetés legfontosabb elemeit, eszközeit és a szerzőknek e témában szerzett hazai tapasztalatait írja le

A hortobágyi szikesedés eredete = The origins of sodification in the Hortobágy region

The chronological analyses, earlier corings and the lithostratigraphical analogies to the sediments indicate that they had been deposited continuously from the Middle Würm to the close of the Holocene. The pollen profile is dominated by non-arboreal pollen, even during the Holocene. In this sense, this pollen profile is unique and it can only be compared to other pollen sequences from the Hortobágy because deciduous arboreal pollen did not become dominant in any one pollen zone. This pollen composition provides evidence that alkalisation was continuous from the Middle Würm to the close of the Holocene. The alkalik species formed a vegetation intermixed with taiga during the Pleistocene, resembling the one which can be observed in southern Siberia, in the Altai foreland, where a steppe belt with alkalik elements was intermixed with deciduous woodland and taiga elements, but breaking up into a mosaic of taiga interspersed with grass steppe and deciduous woodland in consequence of extremely diverse local orographic, hydrological and hydrographical conditions. A landscape showing a similar mosaic patterning with a dominance of steppe elements developed in the Hortobágy region at the close of the Pleistocene and survived throughout the Holocene

A szervezeti működés modellkoncepciója

A Corporate Values Kft. 2009-ben KMOP fejlesztési célú pályázat segítségével létrehozott egy olyan szervezettudományos közösséget, amelynek célja egy komplex és innovatív szervezet-diagnosztikai modell és mérőeszköz létrehozása volt. A kutatók és jelen cikk szerzői az eddigi elméleti modellek, szervezeti megközelítések és személyes tapasztalataik alapján állították össze a szervezetek működésére és diagnosztikájára alkalmas innovatív megközelítést. A fejlesztés 2009-2010-ig zajlott. A szakirodalmi kutatások alapján szerkesztett modell jelentős újítást képvisel a szervezetelméletek terén, az egyén-csoport-szervezeti illeszkedés szisztematikus és rendszerszintű megjelenítése a szervezeti modellek között itt jelenik meg elsőként. Jelen tanulmány a szervezeti modell felépítésének logikáját mutatja be

The environmental history of Fenékpuszta with a special attention to the climate and precipitation of the last 2000 years

This work presents the details of a multidisciplinary palaeoecological and geoarcheological study on the sedimentary sequences, including 2 undisturbed cores of the Little Balaton situated in the western part of Lake Balaton in Central Europe. The application of Quaternary palaeoecological analysis to peat and lacustrine deposits enables to identify long-term environmental changes in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The principal aims were to shed light onto how former human societies and culture shaped and altered their natural environment on the one hand. Furthermore, to reconstruct the once existing environmental conditions within the framework of the natural evolution of the vegetation, soil, fauna and the catchment basin for the times preceding written historical records via the application of sedimentological, geochemical, isotope geochemical, palynological, macrobotanical, malacological and microfaunal analytical methods and approaches

The bear in Eurasian plant names: Motivations and models

Ethnolinguistic studies are important for understanding an ethnic group's ideas on the world, expressed in its language. Comparing corresponding aspects of such knowledge might help clarify problems of origin for certain concepts and words, e.g. whether they form common heritage, have an independent origin, are borrowings, or calques. The current study was conducted on the material in Slavonic, Baltic, Germanic, Romance, Finno-Ugrian, Turkic and Albanian languages. The bear was chosen as being a large, dangerous animal, important in traditional culture, whose name is widely reflected in folk plant names. The phytonyms for comparison were mostly obtained from dictionaries and other publications, and supplemented with data from databases, the co-authors' field data, and archival sources (dialect and folklore materials). More than 1200 phytonym use records (combinations of a local name and a meaning) for 364 plant and fungal taxa were recorded to help find out the reasoning behind bear-nomination in various languages, as well as differences and similarities between the patterns among them. Among the most common taxa with bear-related phytonyms were Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng., Heracleum sphondylium L., Acanthus mollis L., and Allium ursinum L., with Latin loan translation contributing a high proportion of the phytonyms. Some plants have many and various bear-related phytonyms, while others have only one or two bear names. Features like form and/or surface generated the richest pool of names, while such features as colour seemed to provoke rather few associations with bears. The unevenness of bear phytonyms in the chosen languages was not related to the size of the language nor the present occurence of the Brown Bear in the region. However, this may, at least to certain extent, be related to the amount of the historical ethnolinguistic research done on the selected languages
