Bee pollination and association of apricot varieties
Authors: Szabó Z. , Nyéki J. , Benedek P. , Erdős Z. , Soltész M.
Published: December 2018

Apricot yields are highly variable according to the season. The variation is caused mainly by the adversities during the critical processes of floral biology, i.e. blooming and fertilisation. On the basis of information concerning blooming time and mutual compatibility relations of apricot varieties a system of securing regular and adequate yields has been developed.

Winter frosts of the continental type are well tolerated by most of the apricots, however, after the end of rest period, flower buds are loosing frost tolerance, 'rapidly.

Being one of the fruit species blooming earliest during the early spring, apricot start to bloom in Hungary around the end of March or early April as a mean of many years, but it also happened, exceptionally that apricot started to bloom at February 20 (at Letenye South Hungary). The early season, exposes the floral organs to frost injuries. As a consequence, apricot orchards on the Great Plain produce low yields in 3 years, intermediate yields in other 3 years out of a ten-year-period.

Moreover, weather conditions during the blooming period are often unfavourable for pollination. Cool, windy and rainy weather prevents the flight of insects and on the other hand, warm spells shorten the blooming process, nectarines and stigmata get dry and the female gametes loose viability before effective pollination occurres.

The fertility of individual cultivars are meeting different obstacles. Apricot cultivars differ greatly in the rate of flowers bearing underdeveloped pistils, which may attain even 60% (e.g. Orangered). New commercial cultivars are often self-incompatible. Local varieties of that type in Hungary are the „óriás" varieties (e.g. Ceglédi óriás, Szegedi mammut), and the new hybrid Ceglédi Piroska. Many of the cultivars are variable in their self-fertility (partially self-fertile): Budapest, Harmat, Korai piros, Mandulakajszi.

Inter-incompatibility is also known in apricots. The „óriás " varieties do not fertilise each other. During the growth of fruits, cool spells (2-4 °C) caused severe fruit shed in Ceglédi óriás.

Apricot flowers produce pollen and nectar at average rates related to other fruit species, thus bees are attracted sufficiently. Bee visits are very variable according to growing site and season. Most of the bees are pollen gatherers but sometimes nectar suckers are in majority. Bee pollination is necessary not only for the self-incompatible varieties but also to enhance the yield of self-fertile varieties.

Taking the blooming and fertility relations of the cultivars into account, plantations should not exceed two rows to a particular self-incompatible varieties, and possibly two different polliniser varieties are suggested to be planted as flanking the block in question.

In commercial plantations 2 to 4 bee colonies per hectare are proposed to move for the whole blooming period.
Rate of scab infection and quality parameters of apple fruit in organic and integrated production systems
Authors: Gonda I. , Holb I. J. , Bitskey K.
Published: December 2018

In this study, the rate of scab infection and quality parameters (content of vitamin-C, dry matter, sugar, total acids, specific weight, quality index and flesh firmness) of some apple cultivars are given, moreover, the relation between those characters was examined in two environmental systems (organic and integrated) in a rainy season. In the organic fruit production, scab infection of leaves was significantly higher than in the integrated system, in case of the same cultivars, which means that the rate of decrease in leaf area was heavier in the organic production. Cultivars did not differ statistically in parameters of inner content when the integrated system was compared to the organic one. Results did not show statistical difference between loss of leaf area caused by apple scab and the parameters of inner content, which is attributed to the regeneration of leaf area due to favourable weather conditions. Data on apple scab and inner content of the fruit justify essentially the environmental systems of apple production.
Virus susceptibility and resistance of Hungarian pepper varieties
Authors: Horváth J. , Kazinczi G. , Takács A. , Pribék D. , Bese G. , Gáborjányi R. , S. Kadlicskó
Published: December 2018

The aim of our study was to examine susceptibility or resistance of 18 pepper varieties to four viruses [tobacco mosaic

tobamovirus (TMV), sowbane mosaic sobemovirus (SoMV), NTN strain of potato Y potyvirus  (PVYNTN) and cucumber mosaic cucumovirus (CMV). Out of the 18 varieties, 13 were resistant to CMV infection. Thirteen varieties were susceptible to TMV, while five ones (Dabora Fl, Brill Fl, Feherozon Synthetic, Ciklon Fl, Cecil Fl) showed only local hypersensitive reaction. All of the tested pepper varieties showed resistance to SoMV. Eight varieties (Tuba, Fehérözön Synthetic, Boni, Alba Regia, Korona, Édesalma, Cecil Fl, Star) were found to be resistant to PVYNTN. Out of the examined varieties five (Boni, Alba Regia, Korona, Édesalma, Star) were resistant to three viruses (SoMV, CMV and PVYNTN). Only one (Cecil F1) displayed complex, extreme resistance to SoMV, PVYNTN, CMV and hypersensitive reaction to TMV, therefore this hybrid is very important in pepper breeding and growing for virus resistance.
In vitro regeneration from cotyledons of watermelon
Authors: Zarka V. , Velich L. , Bisztray Gy.
Published: December 2018

Cotyledonary segments of five different genotypes of watermelon were used to induce organogenesis. Five different hormone combinations were applied to enhance the induction of shoot formation on the surface of the segments. The phases of organogenesis were followed with light and scanning electron microscope. Shoots were obtained after four weeks, then the shoots were transferred to hormone free medium for root induction.

This method of regeneration can be applied in transformation experiments. GUS histochemical assay was made to check the expected success of using Agrobacterium for the transformation.
Studies on the Tobamovirus resistance of the pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivar Greygo
Authors: Salomon P. , Venczel G.
Published: December 2018

Resistance of the Hungarian pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivar "Gre.ygo" to Tohamoviruses has been investigated. All plants of the population of Greygo proved to be resistant to tobacco mosaic and tomato mosaic viruses (TMV, ToMV), both represent the pepper pathotypes Po of Tohamoviruses. Individuals of Greygo, however, were found to be susceptible to pathotypes P12 and P123 of pepper mild mottle virus (PMMV). When inoculated with the XM isolate of dulcamara yellow fleck virus (DYFV, pathotype P1) the population of Greygo segregated in resistant and susceptible plants. These results as well as inoculations of the progenies of three TMV resistant plants clearly showed, that besides the resistance allele Li the cultivar Greygo possesses also an another allele. This allele, provisionally marked by L2g behaves like to the allele L2 characteristic to Capsicum frutescens cv. . Tabasco. Determination of the identity of the allele L2g to the allele L2 needs further genetic and pathological informations. Relations between the Tohamoviruses pathogenic to pepper and the alleles of the resistance gene L are outlined for the discussion.

Authors: Héthelyi É. B. , Szabó L. Gy. , Korány K.
Published: December 2018

In the temperate zone live about 150 species of the Nepeta genus. Our investigations covered the examinations of the volatile oil containing species of the genus endemic in Hungary, Nepeta cataria and Nepeta parviflora. Latter is a relict of the ancient steppe-flora and endemic in Hungary as well. Phytochemical examination of the volatile oil containing plant material has also been carried out. Catnip growing in the Botanical Garden of PTE Department of Botany contained 0,67% volatile oil in May and 0,14% in November. Chemical character of the volatile oils were measured by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and citronellol, citral-A, citral-B and geraniol components were identified. The composition of the oil of November samples shifted towards citronellol (65%). In both samples insecticide and repellent activity bearing compounds (+)-cis-p-menthane-3,8-diol, and (—)-trans-p-menthane-3,8-diol in 2-2.5 and 4-4.5% amount have been found. The catnip sample deriving from Germany contained a small amount of anetol, citronellol, neral, geraniol and geranial (6-13%), and possibly two isomers of nepetalactone in 23-31%.

The Nepeta parviflora endemic in the Nagyvolgy valley near Nagykaracsony consisted of the same compounds in the investigated years (1998-2000). Its limonene, methyl chavicol, b-cariophyllene, b-selinene, b-cubebene, davanone, germacrene-D constituents have been identified. In the year 2000 different GC % of these compounds were detected in the different organs of the plants.

The closely related species Nepeta cataria var. citriodora contained 83% citral, and the N. glechoma (= Glechoma hederacea) contained 41% a-cubebene, 20% patchoulenol, 7,7% spathulenol respectively. These compounds were identified by gas chromatography and gas chromatography / mass spectrometry.
Changes in germination ability during genebank storage at some medicinal plant seeds belonging to the Solanaceae family
Authors: Tóth E.
Published: December 2018

In the present work we have examined the changes of germination ability of some medicinal plant species belonging to the Solanaceae family (Datura stramonium L., Datura innoxia Mill. and Hyoscyamus niger L.) during 5-6 years' storage period. According to our results, all the three species showed an after-ripening behavior. Potassium nitrate and gibberellic acid increased significantly the rate of germination in the case of Datura species. During the storage period tested (1995-2001), the species maintained their germination ability which is favourably but not significantly influenced by the cooled gene bank conditions. The degree of ripeness affected considerably the proportion of germinated seeds at all the three species. As a consequence of our results we emphasise that propagation with completely ripe seeds is proposed, however, half-ripe seeds developped in an unadvantageous vegetation period can be also utilized in the practice. The effect of vegetation year on stramony seeds manifested in the length of after-ripening period, while in the case of henbane the germination ability was also influenced.
Role of wholesale markets in fresh fruit and vegetable distribution in Hungary
Authors: Tenk A. , Kalmár-Hollósi E. , Kalmár E.
Published: December 2018

The primer function of fruit and vegetable wholesale markets — which was the physical concentration of supply and demand previously — is changing gradually as consumer habits change and logistics functions (e.g. product manipulation, redistribution without the physical presence of the product) become more important with the technical development. Mainly individual growers sell their product to retailers at the Hungarian regional producers' markets and the Budapest Wholesale market on NagykOrosi Street, which is the largest wholesale market in Hungary regarding area, produce arrival and turnover. Parallel to the establishment of Producers' Organisations (P0) their market presence should be urged in selling their produce and also in ownership — and decision-making procedure — of the markets. The produce auction system and the on-line sales experiences of New Jersey State (USA) can contribute to the investigation of development possibilities and realization of development of Hungarian wholesale markets.
Investigation of the Relationship between the SO2 Production of Different Yeast Strains and Thiamine Concentration
Authors: Pühra (Boróczki) B. , Kállay M. , Korány K.
Published: December 2018

Our general conclusion was that the thiamine amounts of 0,6 and 3,0 mg/1 added prior to wine fermentation, resulted in higher free-S02 level in comparison to the control. Furthermore, among the yeast strains examined in our experiments, Uvaferm BC strain produced the highest free-S02 content under the conditions mentioned before. As regards the dynamics of reductone and SO, production, the concentration of the previous one was practically identical in the middle and at the end of the fermentation while the SO2 content — both free- and total — was lower at the end. Thiamine addition did not cause any difference in the organoleptic properties of wines as proved by sensory analysis.

Evaluation of precision farming with regard to horticulture
Authors: Székely Cs. , Kovács A. , Györök B.
Published: December 2018

The global positioning system was made available for public use, which made it possible' to apply a new management tool in agriculture. Precision farming gives much more information on plant-growing than former methods, which makes it possible to use technologies more suitable for micro-sites. It is supposed that more profitable production can be realised with its aid and the strain on the environment can be reduced, not to mention other economic advantages.

The study makes economic conclusions about the method more and more widely used in plant production taking the yield mapping of Józsefmajor Experimental Farm as a basis and starts ideas about its possible application in arable land olericulture, viticulture and fruit production.

These issues are important because precision farming has existed in glass-culture for a long time from another perspective, which should be spread to open ground horticultural enterprises that are labour and asset intensive, qualitative farming forms with great plantation value.
The effect of soil mixtures of different consistence and phosphorus content in tray transplant-growing by lettuce
Authors: Tóth K. , Kappel N. , Slezák K. , Irinyi B.
Published: December 2018

The transplant-growing with root balls gets more and more popular and time to time the only method even in high-quality lettuce transplant-growing. To work out the technology of transplant-growing in trays it was needed to define the accurate physical and chemical consistency of applied soils.

The transplant production in trays could become a good method in field-grown lettuce technologies. The production of transplants of good quality with this technology could be realised only by accurate soil mixtures.

The matter of transplant-growing substrates could be a low-moor turf. Its qualities could be positively influenced by adding minerals like bentonite in amount of 5 (or 10) V%.

To ensure enough phosphorus for the demands of transplants we have to add more fertilisers. The best results by lettuce we got by adding 4 kg/m3 superphosphate to the soil mixture.
Nutrient demand of stone fruits
Authors: Szűcs E.
Published: December 2018

Effects of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilization were investigated on the change of nutrient content, vegetative and generative production of apricot, peach and sour cherry trees, as well as on frost hardiness in long term experiments. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization increased only the concentration of these elements in cherry leaves without effect on growth and yield. Consequent potassium effect was proved on these stone fruit species. Effect on yield appeared following the first higher crop load.

Potassium supply has positive effect on frost hardiness of apricot and sour cherry flowers and peach flower buds.

In peach, the lime content of soil decreased the yield but it could be compensated by potassium dressing to some extent. Favourable nutrient boundary values were determined for soil and foliage.
Does foliar nutrition influence the pear fruit quality?
Authors: Hudina M. , Solar A. , Stampar F.
Published: December 2018

The influence of the foliar nutrition on the pear fruit quality (Pyrus communis L.) cv. 'Williams' was studied in years 1997 and 1998. We determined the contents of individual sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose and sorbitol) and organic acids (malic, citric, fumaric and shikimic) by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). The sizes of the fruits (diameter, length, weight) were measured as well as the amounts of soluble solids and titrable acids. The experiment comprised two treatments: the foliar nutrition and the control. In the treatment of foliar nutrition the trees were sprayed five times (from May 22 to July 7) with a foliar fertilizer, which contained 15% of P205, 20% of K20, 0.1% of Mn, 0.1% of B and 0.1% of Mo. The foliar nutrition influenced higher quantities of sugars (glucose, sorbitol, soluble solids) and organic acids (malic, citric) but had no effect on the contents of shikimic acid, pH juice and titrable acids. At the treatment of foliar nutrition a trend of decrease in the contents of fructose, sucrose, fumaric acid, boron, and zinc was noticed.

Published: December 2018

In order to increase the vase life as well as quality of leaves of goldenrod (Solidago canadesis), the effect of 8-hydroxyquinoline sulphate (8-HQS), silver thiosulphate (STS) and l-methylcyclopropene (l-MCP) were investigated. 8-HQS was used as a continuous treatment at 400 ppm with or without sucrose at 50 g/l. The treatment of STS was used by putting the flower bases at 0.4 mM for 6h with or without sucrose at 50 g/l. l -MCP was used at 0.5 g/m3 for 6h dry or in water. Except the treatment of l -MCP in water, the chemical treatments, which were used, led to the increase vase of life of leaves as well as to the inflorescence of cut solidago spikes compared to the control. The best treatment in this concern was 8-HQS at 400 ppm without sucrose, which resulted in longest vase life of leaves as well as inflorescences and lowest percent loss of fresh weight of initial.

Psychopathic Personality Disorder
Authors: Cooke David J.
Published: December 2018

The diagnosis of psychopathic personality disorder has salience for forensic clinical practice. It influences decisions regarding risk, treatability and sentencing, indeed, in certain jurisdictions it serves as an aggravating factor that increases the likelihood of a capital sentence. The concatenation of symptom that is associated with modern conceptions of the disorder can be discerned in early writings, including the book of Psalms. Despite its forensic clinical importance and historical pedigree the concept remains elusive and controverted. In
this paper I describe an attempt to map the concept of psychopathic personality disorder—the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP). I outline the processes used to create the concept map; I summarise evidence in support of the content validity of the map and describe different operations designed to operationalise the construct. It is only when conceptual clarity is achieved that valid operations and measures can be created. I end with a plea for more carefully considered application of statistical methods; applications that better fit the theoretical questions being posed.
Delineating Psychopathy from Cognitive Empathy
Authors: Međedović Janko , Đuričić Nikola
Published: December 2018

There is an ongoing debate regarding the content of psychopathy, especially about the status of antisocial behavior and disinhibition characteristics as core psychopathy features. Psychopathic Personality Traits Scale (PPTS) represents a novel model of psychopathy based on core psychopathy markers such as Interpersonal manipulation, Egocentricity and Affective responsiveness. However, this model presupposes another narrow trait of psychopathy: cognitive responsiveness, which represents a lack of cognitive empathy. Since previous models of psychopathy do not depict this feature as a core psychopathy trait, the goal of this study was to empirically evaluate if
the lack of cognitive empathy is a narrow psychopathy trait or its correlate. The research was conducted on a community sample via online study (N=342; Mage=23.7 years; 31% males). Results showed that the correlations between Cognitive responsiveness and other psychopathy features were significantly lower than intercorrelations of other three traits. Factor analysis, conducted on PPTS items, provided a two-factor solution, where Cognitive responsiveness was yielded as a factor separate from other psychopathy indicators. Finally, the exploration of the shared latent space of psychopathy and cognitive empathy resulted in
the two-factor solution where psychopathy and the lack of cognitive empathy were extracted as correlated but separate latent variables. The data clearly supported the former model. Research results showed that the lack of cognitive empathy should not be considered an indicator of psychopathy but its correlate. The findings emphasize the need to be cautious in conceptualization of the psychopathy construct.
What Can Philosophers Learn from Psychopathy?
Authors: Maibom Heidi L.
Published: December 2018

Many spectacular claims about psychopaths are circulated. This contribution aims at providing the reader with the more complex reality of the phenomenon (or phenomena), and to point to issues of particular interest to philosophers working in moral psychology and moral theory. I first discuss the current evidence regarding psychopaths’ deficient empathy and decision-making skills. I then explore what difference it makes to our thinking whether we regard their deficit dimensionally (as involving abilities that are on or off) and whether we focus on primary or secondary psychopathy. My conclusion is that most grand claims about psychopathy settling long-standing debates in moral philosophy and psychology are overblown, but there is much to be learnt from this disorder when it comes to formulating modern theories of moral psychology.

Dynamik des Arbeiterbewußtseins
Authors: Staniszkis Jadwiga
Published: December 2018

Drei Schwellen gilt es zu erwähnen, wenn wir über die Entwicklung der Arbeiterklasse in Polen sprechen.1. Es ist vor allem eine Barriere begrenzter semantischer Kompetenzen, die in der Vergangenheit zu einem Konkretismus der Interessenartikulation führte. Im ersten Teil dieses Aufsatzes möchte ich zu zeigen versuchen, wie jene begrenzten semantischen Kompetenzen der Arbeiterklasse deren Protest weniger wirkungvoll machten. Dies ist ein gutes Beispiel für eine Situation, in der die Struktur der Rede - mit anderen Worten die Form und nicht der Inhalt - eine ideologische Rolle spielte, indem sie objektiv das politische System verstärkte und stabilisierte. Es muß jedoch unterstrichen werden, daß genau diese begrenzten Kompetenzen bisweilen vorteilhaft sein konnten, indem sie bei Verhandlungen die Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten reduzierten und als Folge davon die Arbeiterklasse für Manipulation weniger zugänglich und in bestimmter Hinsicht radikaler machte. In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich über Radikalismus als Problem von Vorstellungskraft und Einstellung und über die Ereignisse im August 1980 als Typus einer Kulturrevolution sprechen.
Der Teufelskreis der Auslandsverschuldung

Published: December 2018

Keinen Sinn macht es, die Wahrscheinlichkeiten von Kriegen und Krisen auszurechnen. Doch wichtig ist es, die Bedingungen ihres Entstehens zu analysieren. Recht hat Alfred Grosser, wenn er die Möglichkeit eines Zusammenbruchs der Weltwährungsbeziehungen heute hervorhebt, eine Möglichkeit, die vor etwas mehr als 50 Jahren 1931 schlimme Wirklichkeit wurde. Hinzuzufügen ist jedoch, daß ein solcher Zusammenbruch die Kriegsgefahr mit einem Schlag enorm vergrößern würde. Und daher sind die Fragen nach den Bedingungen und möglichen Folgen von Krieg und Krise nicht alternativ zu stellen oder gar gegeneinander auszuspielen. Funktionsweise des internationalen ökonomischen Systems und Friedensordnung stehen in einem inneren Zusammenhang - heute ebenso wie vor fünfzig Jahren.
Frauenarbeitslosigkeit: Eine Alternative zur Erwerbsarbeit?
Authors: Schefer Gitte , Wielpütz Renate
Published: December 2018

Frauen sind von Arbeitslosigkeit besonders betroffen: Schon seit Jahren stellen sie über die Hälfte aller registrierten Arbeitslosen, obwohl ihr Anteil an den Beschäftigten nur rund 1/3 (1980: 38%) beträgt. Sie sind im Durchschnitt länger arbeitslos als Männer (vgl. Freiburghaus, 1978, S.226), ihre Wiederbeschäftigungschancen sind - auch in Zeiten konjunkturellen Aufschwungs und rückläufiger Gesamtarbeitslosigkeit - deutlich geringer1, ohne daß dies mit dem geringeren Qualifikationsniveau der Frauen hinreichend begründet wäre (vgl. Bauer, 1977, Büchtemann/Rosenbladt, 1980). Denn auch bei gleicher Qualifikation ist die Arbeitslosenquote der Frauen höher als die der männlichen Vergleichsgruppe. Hinzu kommt, daß das tatsächliche Ausmaß der Frauenarbeitsloigkeit durch die offiziellen Statistiken nur unzureichend erfaßt ist: Nicht berücksichtigt werden all jene Frauen, die bereits vom Arbeitsmarkt verdrängt worden und in die sogenannte stille Reserve abgewandert sind. Schätzungen zufolge beträgt die Dunkelziffer zwischen 500000 und 700000 Frauen, die den Arbeitsmarkt verlassen haben.
Zur Perspektive materialistischer Parteientheorie
Authors: Elfferding Wieland
Published: December 2018

» Von der Staatsableitung zur Theorie der Parteien«, das war 1979 noch eine Aufforderung, heute ist es eine Beschreibung (Jäger 1979). Von den »Staatsfunktionen« über die »Hegemonie« wanderte das Forschungsinteresse mancher linker Politikwissenschaftler zu den wichtigsten Hegemonieorganen, den politischen Parteien. Wesentlichen Anstoß, über Parteien neu nachzudenken, gab die Existenz der Grün-Alternativen, die das Parteiensystem in Bewegung gebracht haben. Eines der wichtigsten Forschungsprojekte auf diesem Feld, das »Projekt Parteiensystem« im Zentralinstitut für sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung der FU in Berlin, hat nach mehr als zehnjähriger Arbeit ein Parteien-Handbuch für die Bundesrepublik vorgelegt (Stöss1983, 1984), das an Reichtum der Information und Anspruch der theoretischen Durchdringung beispiellos ist. Mit den folgenden Bemerkungen will ich keine Würdigung dieser Arbeit versuchen. Die zweieinhalbtausend Seiten, auf denen man eine Vielzahl von integrierten Monographien zu allen Parteien unseres Landes findet, werden Politikwissenschaftler und politisch Interessierte in ihrer Arbeit und in Diskussionen sicher noch lange beschäftigen. Ich folge vielmehr der Einladung von Richard Stöss: »Überhaupt scheint die wissenschaftliche Kontroverse in der Parteienforschung für den Fortschritt der Erkenntnis stimulierender zu sein als die sterile Konkurrenz um methodischen Perfektionismus und subtile Deskription von Details« (Stöss 1983, 57).

Da man mich gebeten hat, über die Zukunft der Demokratie zu referieren, also über ein ziemlich heimtückisches Thema, will ich mich zunächst mit Hilfe zweier Zitate verteidigen. Als Hegel in seinen Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Geschichte an der Berliner Universitätvon einem Studenten gefragt wurde, ob die Vereinigten Staaten als das Land der Zukunft angesehen werden sollten, antwortete er ihm, sichtlich irritiert: »Amerika ist somit das Land der Zukunft ( ... ) und als ein Land der Zukunft geht es uns überhaupt hier nichts an; denn wir haben es nach der Seite der Geschichte mit dem zu tun, was gewesen ist und mit dem, was ist- in der Philosophie aber mit dem, was weder nur gewesen ist noch erst nur sein wird, sondern mit dem was ist und ewig ist - mit der Vernunft, und damit haben wir zur Genüge zu tun« (Hegel 1970: 114) In seiner berühmten Vorlesung, die Max Weber am Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs vor Studenten der Münchener Universität über die Wissenschaften als Beruf hielt, antwortete er seinen Zuhörern, die ihn eindringlich nach seiner Meinung über die Zukunft Deutschlands fragten: »der Prophet und der Demagoge (gehören) nicht auf das Katheder eines Hörsaals«. (Weher1973: 602)

Zum Problem des Geldes als Konstituens oder Apriori der ökonomischen Gegenständlichkeit
Authors: Backhaus Hans-Georg
Published: December 2018

Der Titel des Aufsatzes ist geeignet, sogleich den Unwillen des Ökonomen hervorzurufen: steht er methodologisch doch meist in der Nachfolge des frühen Schumpeter, der die Ökonomie als eine autonome, von der Philosophie ganz emanzipierte Fachwissenschaft zu etablieren suchte und daher nachdrücklich warnte, »zu tief (zu) sein, namentlich unsere Voraussetzungen begründen zu wollen«. In ihrem methodologischen Selbstverständnis durchweg analytisch orientiert, werden moderne Ökonomen ganz im Sinne der neopositivistischen Anleitungen des frühen Schumpeter doch schon dazu tendieren, solche in der älteren Ökonomie gängigen Wendungen wie »die Kosten seien die Ursache des Preises« oder auch nicht die »Ursache« des Preises »irgendwie« zu »umgehen«, »sozusagen« zu »neutralisieren«. Wenn sie also schon »den Ursachenbegriff überhaupt eliminieren möchten« (Schumpeter1908, S. 27, 58), dann natürlich erst recht solch philosophische, ja metaphysische Begriffe wie »Apriori« und »Konstituens«.

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most frequent causes of abdominal pain. Early diagnosis is the key to success for the surgeon, followed by the treatment with operation or conservative treatment as a new approach, before the stage of gangrenous appendicitis or perforation occurs.Aim: This study aims to establish he role of hyperbilirubinemia as a laboratory marker in prediction of acute appendicitis in the early diagnosis.Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study; it included 201 patients admitted in the emergency ward with suspicion for acute appendicitis. All patients that participated in this study have been subject to appendectomy. The blood samples were taken from all patients in order to analyze the level of total/direct bilirubin.Results: The study samples of 201 patients consisted of 67.7% with complicated appendicitis and 32.3% with non-complicated appendicitis. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV for laboratory marker, as predictor for complicated vs non-complicated cases of appendicitis was as follows: Total bilirubin; specificity (72.3%), sensitivity (54.4%), PPV (80.4%), NPV (43.1%),Conclusion: Elevation of total/direct bilirubin level in patients with clinical signs of acute appendicitis might predict the stage of acute appendicitis, such prediction may help surgeons to provide accurate treatment of the disease without delay in the diagnosis. This accuracy can be further supplemented by using Alvarado scoring model during the clinical approach.

Pyrexia is a protective physiologic response of the body against external and internal aggression. Temperature control is safe in and effective in septic shock but remain controversial in sepsis. Treating pyrexia to reduce oxygen consumption appears to have beneficial in cardiac arrest, low cardiac output and acute brain injury. Multiple therapeutic options are available for managing pyrexia, with precise targeted temperaturemanagement. Notably, the use of pharmacotherapy versus surface cooling has not been shown to be advantageous. When these two-therapy failed to control the extra-corporal method of cooling should be started. Renal replacement therapies are not typically indicated for temperature control but, in patients requiring renal support, they contribute to heat loss and participate in pyrexia control. Renal replacement therapies may represent a confounding factor in comparative trials on temperature control.
Review of sustainable development of the road transport sector – are there geographical differences?
Authors: Johansson Maria T. , Ilic Danica Djuric
Published: December 2018

Even though the share of renewable energy in the transport sector has increased during the last decade, the sector is still highly dependent on fossil fuels. Consequences are for example emissions of greenhouse gases, particulates, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. This is of great concern for the environment, climate change, and human health. This study reviews scientific publications about sustainable development of the road transport sector, published 2005-2018. The aim of the study is to investigate if there are differences in the measures and strategies presented in the publications depending on the geographical areas studied, and to analyse if there are differences depending on year of publication. The authors analysed to what extent local conditions influence the choice of proposed measures and strategies. A system perspective was applied in order to include measures related to the whole life cycle of the road transport, as well as other sectors, which influence or are influenced by the transport sector. A literature review was performed using the search-engine Web of Science. Results show that important local conditions that may influence the research focus within the area of sustainable development of the road transport sector are for example: energy supply security (e.g. availability of biomass and renewable electricity, as well as access to domestic fossil fuel resources), possibilities for developing infrastructure for biofuel supply and charging of electric vehicles, political priorities and approaches, and traditions.

Continuous and steady running of health status remote monitoring systems is essential not to omit episodes of acute exacerbation of chronic disease. Running time of such systems is largely determined by performance capabilities of the patient's wearable system elements. To ensure its long-term operation and efficient performance, the monitoring system must have multilayered structure with the elements realizing recording and picking off biomedical signals, signal processing and analysis, estimation of patient current condition, dynamics of the disease and its prognosis. For this purpose, it is necessary to use smart monitoring algorithms. A specific feature of such algorithms is change of the number of channels used for biomedical signal recording and processing according to the change of patient’s condition. To detect the exacerbation first symptoms by means of the patient's wearable computer, additional channels are activated for recording biomedical signals used to evaluate the expanded complex of diagnostically significant parameters of the disease and their integration when specifying the patient's condition. The system and intelligent monitoring algorithm is tested with the use of heart rate remote control and atrial fibrillation episode detection system. The testing results of the developed system and algorithm are discussed.
