Abstract Our study examines some of the key aspects of education funding in Hungary. The theme of this publication is a current issue because the financing of Hungarian education has been dramatically changed from October 2013 on. Enrolment-based funding has been replaced by the average salary-based normative support, and the new “teacher career model” has been introduced. The study demonstrates the changes in financing using a model school, the calculations being based on the Budget Act of each year. We look at the trends of the previous system of financing, analysing the data from 2003 to 2012. We can compare the new, average salary-based funding with the normative support in 2012. By comparing the two types of funding, we attempt to find out whether the changes in Hungarian public education represent an opportunity for true transformation or they will remain a mere alteration in the calculation method of funding.

State And Local

Instead of asking whether money matters, this paper questions whose money matters in public education. Previous literature on education funding uses an aggregate expenditure per pupil to measure the relationship between education funding and academic performance. Federalism creates mainly three levels of funding sources: federal, state, and local governments. Examining New York State school districts, most equitably funded across school districts among the 50 states, this paper shows that neither federal nor state funds are positively correlated with graduation rates. Only local revenues for school districts indicate a strong positive impact. Parents’ money matters. This finding contributes to a contentious discourse on education funding policy in the governments, courts, and academia with respect to education funding and inequality in American public schools.

A ampliação do campo das políticas públicas, a partir da década de 1980 no Brasil, tem provocado o surgimento de uma diversidade de práticas nas quais se dirigem novas demandas para o campo da psicologia.  Com o intuito de problematizar o efeito destas demandas na reconfiguração deste campo, tomamos a naturalização como eixo norteador. Desenvolvemos inicialmente nosso argumento partindo da análise da naturalização como um elemento que se fez presente desde a instauração da psicologia, considerando as crises que operam em seu desenvolvimento desde o momento que ela se impôs a tarefa de renovação e ultrapassagem de modos de compreensão naturalizantes.  Esta renovação é um fato histórico que se repete no desenvolvimento da psicologia mantendo-se como uma tarefa sempre incompleta. Assim, para formularmos aspectos relativos às especificidades dos efeitos da naturalização das demandas nas instituições nos dedicamos a um retorno às elaborações iniciais dos analistas institucionais que se realizaram no contexto das manifestações de maio de 1968. De posse destes elementos passamos à análise do contexto atual das políticas públicas, partindo de uma reflexão sobre a inteligibilidade neoliberal e o quanto ela vem transversalizando tanto a dimensão das demandas quanto das práticas da psicologia. Depois avançamos sobre algumas considerações do quanto o redimensionamento da relação da política com a clínica pode criar alternativas perante as modulações do capitalismo vigente.

This study addresses performance-enhancement drug (PED) consumption in amateur sport by investigating the relationship between psychosocial factors and PED use in amateur cyclists. Participants were asked whether they had ever taken PED. They were also asked whether they had any experience in competitive cycling, and the degree to which they participated in the event with a competitive aim. In addition, they completed the Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and a bespoke self-efficacy questionnaire, and they rated the percentage of cyclists they believed took PED. Between-groups comparisons and two multiple regression analyses were performed. Overall, the results of our study point to adult amateur cyclists in general, and amateur cyclists with experience in competition in particular, as groups at risk for PED use. This study highlights the value of measuring psychosocial variables as a tool to assess PED use, a current issue at both sport performance and health levels.
