### Wired into Each Other- OTKA Research 2010-2013

The research project proposed here aims to describe and explain segregation of friendships within school classrooms. The basic postulates of our research agenda are that the problem of ethnic integration should be  looked  at  the  level  of  voluntary  formation  of  friendship,  negative  and  romantic  ties;  and  that  the problem  of  ethnic  integration  in  the  classroom  cannot  be  looked  at  without  analyzing  the  interrelated dynamics  of  social  networks,  status,  and  performance.  Status  competition  typically  intensifies  the segregation  of  friendship  ties  and  might  also  lead  to  the  social  exclusion  of  disadvantaged  pupils,  or alternatively, as another problem, to the social exclusion of the best performing students.

### Educational Research in Eastern Hungary 2009-2010

The aim of the Project is to examine the adolescent communities of newly formed high-school classes in a small sized town, using the method of social network analysis. In the focus of the study are

- the effects of class structure on certain relevant phenomena, such as social exclusion and integration, in-school performance, friendship, adversarial and romantic relations; and
- the dynamics of these dimensions, and their repercussions on class structure and status positions occupied by individuals in the communities.
- the research is based on three surveys performed in October 2009, February and May 2010. Teacher interviews and questionnaires provided further indispensable information for the analysis.

## Minimal Mistakes (2014)

I built this site on [Github](http://github.com), supported by the [Github Pages](https://pages.github.com) using [Michael Rose's](https://mademistakes.com) [Minimal Mistakes project](http://github.com/mmistakes), powered by [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) 2.2+. You can find out more about it by reading the post on this site or you can visit the original project mentioned above.

## TABBY (2013)

The [T.A.B.B.Y project](http://www.tabby.eu) (Threat Assessment of Bullying Behavior) aims at increasing the awareness of the risk when using the web or any electronic form of communication and at learning information and skills to protect themselves. [Several studies](http://ing.tabby.eu/resources.html) have shown that there are different forms of [cyberbullying](http://ing.tabby.eu/what-is-cyberbullying.html) and that it’s highly correlated with bullying at school; often it derives from it. Sometimes it  happens that those who are bullied at school retaliate via the web.
The approach we used in this project takes into consideration a series of individual, social, and individual factors as well as contextual ones, investigating how these factors interact in the course of time and affect any antisocial behavior.

## Lenke Project (2013)

In June a versatile team of designers, architects, sociologists, economists and photographers visited Bódvalenke - a small village situated in Borsod county of Hungary. In this village the enthusiastic members of a sustainability research group, MOME Ecolab and Széchenyi István College"s joint team conducted a research as the first step of a long-run developmental project. Our goal was to provide support for small communities living in deep poverty with the help of design. As the initial step of the design process, the group sought for and uncovered local values and resources in connection with the theme of food culture. While taking in-depth interviews at every household, we tasted a number of specially prepared food, the making of which they not only witnessed but even participated in. As the summary of our work, we put together a booklet – entitled Lenkeland’s Machinery –The Gastronomical Prints of Bódvalenke. The booklet is a collection of  recipes and subjective stories revolving around the theme of local food culture and providing an introduction to the community’s eating customs. You can read more about the project [here](http://bodvalenkeprojekt.blogspot.hu/p/english.html).

## Network Science Conference (2011)

This shiny poster is the result of one of the very first SNA projects carried out together with two great friends and colleagues: <NAME> and <NAME>.
Preceding studies suggest that certain personality traits have universal effects on the network position of individuals in small groups. Assuming the major role of homophily in tie formation, it seems obvious that group composition as a contextual factor may influence the impact of personality. The results partially confirm that the impact of personality based friendship choices are related to the size of subgroups, if homophily is present.
