Published: September 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week circuit exercise intervention on the health-related physical fitness and biomarkers of elderly with cardiovascular diseases. Sixty-seven subjects participated in the study, included stretching, aerobic, and resistance training. Pre- and post-examination blood testing and fitness testing. Paired samples t-tests, and correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. Results showed that subjects were overweight and had medium risk levels of infection for cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular and strength performance improved, but sit-up performance was lower than the norm. Total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure improved, but systolic blood pressure remained at a pre-hypertension level. The intervention had a significant positive effect on health-related physical fitness and biomarkers with medium risk cluster of cardiovascular diseases, and there was a high correlation between the two. BMI had a positive correlation with biomarker index and cardiovascular fitness, while agility andflexibility had a negative correlation.
Bounded Rationality in a Cournot Duopoly Game
Authors: Runco Mariano
Published: September 2023

This paper analyzes choices and welfare in a Cournot duopoly setting with linear demand using four models of bounded rationality. The models studied in this paper are Level-k, Cognitive Hierarchy, Asymmetric Quantal Response and Noisy Introspection. It is found that in the Level-k model choices, profits and welfare alternate around the Nash Equilibrium levels depending on whether the level is odd or even. In the Cognitive Hierarchy model the choices of the first two types (L-0 and L-1) coincide with the choices in the Level-k model, a L-2 produces a smaller quantity while the quantity of a L-3 is higher or lower depending on the value of a particular parameter in the model. Both in the Asymmetric Quantal Response and Noisy Introspection models, we find that choices are spread around the Nash Equilibrium level for all parameter values and thus welfare is below the Nash Equilibrium benchmark. We also use parameter estimates from other well-known experiments to obtain an approximation to empirically plausible welfare levels.
A névelemek sorrendje és kulturális kongruenciája a Borsszem Jankó zsidó figuráinak névanyagában a 20. század első felében
Authors: Németh Luca Anna
Published: September 2023

This study is based on previous research, which examined the name stock referring to Jewish characters occurring in a Hungarian humour magazine entitled Borsszem Jankó between 1901 and 1937. This paper focuses on a new aspect of the analysis of the names in a humour magazine: the author discusses the cultural congruence between given names and family names, which proved to be a relevant factor in creating humour with names. In addition, the order of the elements in personal names is also examined. As for the cultural congruence, it can be ascertained that the Hungarian given names stand together with foreign (mostly German) family names for the most part, and the foreign given names appear together with Hungarian family names. Based on this examination the author draws attention to the relevance of this aspect in analysing name stocks of humour magazines in the future.

Authors: Haindrich Helga Anna
Published: September 2023

Since the 1st of June 2009, members of the general public have been able to visit a Hungarian website focusing on national and international news and events concerning Linguistic Studies. The portal classifies the current news according to their topics; thus, writings on onomastic questions can be found under the heading Proper Names. Most relevant articles deal with place names; other writings – in order of decreasing frequency – discuss personal names, names for institutions, names for animals, names for artefacts, and trade names. The portal not only shares news and knowledge, but also offers services such as a help desk for problems in translation, text ergonomics and Linguistics. The opportunity to comment on articles and launch forums or blogs to initiate a discourse on topical issues is also provided by the webmaster. The website, by presenting interesting news and topics in connection with proper names, plays a vital role in disseminating factual knowledge relating to Onomastics.
Az apát lexéma megjelenése a garamszentbenedeki apátság birtokainak nevében
Authors: Szőke Melinda
Published: September 2023

This paper presents the changes of names for possessions of Garamszentbenedek Abbey. The author examines toponyms that reflect ecclesiastical possession: the observed names were either derived from the lexeme apát ‘abbot’, or their changes involved the appearance of the same lexeme in the name forms. Collecting and analysing place names that indicated territories owned by the same proprietor has thrown light on so far hidden connections among toponyms: the names of the possessions that belonged to Garamszentbenedek Abbey raise the possibility that the distinctive additions also ‘lower’ and felső ‘upper’, for instance, were used not only to identify the two ends of a formerly single settlement after these parts became independent habitations, but also to eliminate homonymy.
Dimenzionális szemlélet a névkutatásban
Authors: Farkas Tamás
Published: September 2023

An essential characteristic of natural and modern languages and language use is variability and changeability. These features are connected to the basic existential dimensions of human beings and languages. These dimensions are those of time (historicity), space (spatiality) and society (society and culture). Dimensional linguistics as an approach and research area, by considering and examining the above dimensions jointly, seeks to contribute to a better knowledge and understanding of several language phenomena. As a result of the fact that proper names, in comparison with common nouns, are strongly embedded in extralinguisitic reality, their examination should rely on this approach. This paper presents how typical it is to pay attention to the different dimensions in the analyses of the distinct types of names. The author explores the reasons for, the antecedents of, and the presence of this approach in Hungarian Onomastics, focusing on topics such as name history, name geography and socioonomastics as well as their connections and their possible dimensional linguistic examination. Examples are given from the earlier and contemporary literature in the field of Hungarian family-name research. The author argues that most questions in relation to Onomastics can only be discussed validly in the framework of macrolinguistics, using the methods of contextual linguistics.
A történeti személynévföldrajz mint a nyelvföldrajz egyik kutatási területe I.
Authors: N. Fodor János
Published: September 2023

Spatial distribution of proper names – similarly to that of common nouns – is a natural consequence of language change; as a result, the geography of personal (especially family) names has recently become an important field of study in international and Hungarian Onomastics. The paper first outlines the history of previous Hungarian name geographical research, focusing on terminological questions. The author then discusses the relationship between Geolinguistics and name geographical research, using examples from ‘Történeti magyar családnévatlasz’ (Atlas of Hungarian Historical Family Names). Relations between the frequency of Christian names and that of family names are illustrated in the paper by the 15th–18th-century geography of the family name Benkő: the outstanding historical or contemporary frequency of family names derived from the same Christian name in an area is determined by the previous frequency of the base Christian name in the territory. Christian names can also be used to demonstrate the ethnic composition of the Carpathian Basin: the 18th century expansion of the southern Slavic and German ethnic groups is illustrated by the appearance of the names Jován and Fridericus (and their variants), respectively.
A kontextus szerepe a tulajdonnév fordításában
Authors: Vermes Albert
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study is to present the problems that may be raised by the translation of proper names on different levels of context, and the methods with which translators can solve these issues. To this end, using the framework of relevance theory, the author first clarifies the concepts of translation, meaning and context. Section 4 attempts to define a proper name and then, comparing the semantic structures of proper names and common names, proposes that there is no qualitative semantic difference between the two categories. Consequently, the translation of proper names essentially raises the same questions as the translation of common names, thus the translation operations applied to them must be selected with as much regard to the context as in the case of common names. Section 5 defines four translation operations called transfer, translation (proper), substitution, and modification. Following which Section 6 illustrates their uses in solving translation problems on various levels of context through examples.
Kétnyelvűség és névszemiotikai tájkép
Authors: Bauko János
Published: September 2023

The paper examines the connections between bilingualism and the name-semiotic landscape, focusing especially on the name-semiotic landscape of Slovakian settlements populated by Hungarian minorities as well as on name laws affecting the visual use of proper names in Slovakia. The name-semiotic landscape consists of proper names (especially personal names, place names and the names of institutions) that appear on name signs, notices in public places and other surfaces (e.g. on posters, wall surfaces, gravestones, tableaux). The author explores the extent to which Slovakian settlements with Hungarian minorities respect minority language rights in the visual use of proper names; whether or not native name use is spreading; and also examines the presence of signs and notices including Hungarian proper names. The paper describes the semiotic landscape characteristic of Slovakian settlements populated by Hungarian minorities with respect to each name type: personal names, place names and the names of institutions.
A bibliai héber nevek megjelenítése a nemzeti bibliafordításokban, különös tekintettel a legújabb protestáns bibliafordításainkra
Authors: Kustár Zoltán
Published: September 2023

The transcription of biblical Hebrew names may seem a relatively easy subtask of Bible translation, but, in reality, it is a serious challenge, requiring clearly established philological principles, transcription rules, and – with respect to church use – a high degree of willingness to compromise. The paper examines the origins of those forms of biblical Hebrew personal and place names which were borrowed from Greek and Latin and appear in contemporary Hungarian Protestant Bible translations; reiterates a translator’s main dilemma of retaining these familiar name forms or transcribing them based on pronunciation of the original Hebrew forms. Then presents the practical problems stemming from the use of long established name forms in the translation and spelling of the names of biblical characters. The author describes the methods used in the 1975 new Protestant Bible translation and its 1990 and 2014 revised versions, in some cases also quoting relevant examples from the Károli Bible and from its 1908 revised version. The author concludes that Hungarian Protestant Bible translations and their revised versions – in accordance with international and Hungarian ecumenical trends – are firmly moving from the use of traditional name forms towards the usage of name forms transcribed from the Hebrew pronunciation of names. This may pave the way for an ecumenical rapprochement and possibly for the completion of an ecumenical Bible translation.
Fordítsam vagy ne?
Authors: Sohár Anikó
Published: September 2023

The paper attempts to list the dilemmas proper names present to literary translators based on the author’s own and others’ literary translations. There is no consistent rule governing whether or not to translate proper names in Hungarian. Generally names embedded in the text are dealt with according to the client’s requirements, the context and the literary translator’s resources. This is the case even if a name does not simply serve as an identifier, to separate an entity unambiguously, but has significant meaning, refers to something important or contributes to the overall ambience. There are arguments for and against the translation of proper names; using the originals is time-saving, cost-efficient and makes reference to the original easier, while translation provides the reader with extra information, to say nothing of the ’magical vibes’ of the name, the evoked feeling of unfamiliarity or familiarity, the atmosphere produced by it. As every case differs, a translator must take all significant factors into consideration and make a decision that will greatly influence the reception of a literary work. Although it may seem logical to expect consistency within a work, series or oeuvre, the paper attempts to show why consistency in dealing with proper names is something a literary translator aspires to, but never fully achieves.
A helynevek szerepe az alternatív ideologikus gondolkodásban II.
Authors: Imreh Réka
Published: September 2023

The paper is the second part of the study published in the previous issue of the same journal. The author describes the use of place names in a subculture that considers the Pilis Mountains the forgotten and destroyed scene of an ancient and glorious Hungarian past (conspiracy theory), and claims that the mountains are of spiritual importance. The author enumerates additional examples to illustrate the specific recontextualisation of place names in the Pilis Mountains. The alternative Pilis researchers explain the examined toponyms from a “Proto-Hungarian” and esoteric perspective; these place names are derived from prestigious languages and are placed into an appropriate associative network, and are then included in the alternative Pilis narrative, based mainly on their assumed etymology. The members of the subculture also act as name givers: they rename certain places, springs, etc. in the mountains; or give names to objects created by them. These newly given names might be printed on maps, which is the ultimate stage of the subculture symbolically occupying space through toponyms. The paper intends to give some interesting examples to the examination of place names adopting a social perspective.
Hely- és személynevek a magyar internetes gasztronómiai blogok és receptgyűjtemények ételneveiben
Authors: Török Katalin
Published: September 2023

The paper examines the names of dishes on Hungarian gastronomy blogs from a linguistic point of view. The author has collected 1380 names from one hundred blogs and collections of recipes on the Internet. The collected names include a Hungarian or a foreign place or personal name and were analysed with respect to their semantics and grammar. Place names in the names of dishes include the Hungarian names of settlements, regions, mountains, rivers; also the foreign names of countries, cities, regions, islands; and even the name of a continent. The names of famous people, politicians, historic figures, well-known chefs, TV stars and fictional characters, e.g. film or fairy tale characters can be found among the personal names listed. The examined names of dishes are most often qualifying, possessive or adverbial syntactic units. In many cases, the names include the blogger’s own name or that of the person from whom the blogger borrowed the recipe, or to whom the blogger dedicated the dish.
A tulajdonnévi helyesírás változásai az AkH. 12. kiadásában
Authors: Laczkó Krisztina
Published: September 2023

In September 2015, the 12th, revised and updated edition of the reference book entitled A magyarhelyesírás szabályai (Rules and Dictionary of Hungarian Orthography) came into force; which, keeping both the status and the corpus intact in its traditional systematic character, aims to rationalize the existing system by way of changing, modifying and maintaining previously established orthographic rules. This is especially true for the category of proper names, in the case of which stability and the requirement of indicating the extent of the name form are primary factors. Proper names, at the same time, are highly exposed to changes, thus distinct types of orthographic modification have taken place in their spelling. Out of the three possible modification schemes, complete rule changes affect proper names the least frequently; instead the completion, expansion of rules, as well as – to a lesser degree – the introduction of alternation are considered to be typical. The paper systematically summarizes all the changes that affect the spelling of proper names in the new code of Hungarian orthography.
Utcanévváltozások Pozsony példáján
Authors: T. Somogyi Magda , Tiner Tibor
Published: September 2023

In the introduction, the authors briefly outline the history of Bratislava, focusing especially on the momentous events of the 20th century. As a starting point, characteristic groups of 1905 street names are observed concerning motivation, components and semantic background (cf. Ortvay, Pozsony város utcái és terei [Streets and squares in the city of Bratislava]). Special attention is given to street names that can be connected to Hungarian history and culture. The discussion of street name changes in Bratislava is based on the ortvay.eu database; street name changes between the 1920s and the 2010s are examined according to frequency, motivation and time period. Both frequency and motivation are closely related to the above mentioned momentous events, such as repeated fundamental changes in politics and constitutional laws. As a result, they are connected to virtual space occupation; although several streets and squares of the town were renamed not only around regime changes, but within politically coherent time periods. Finally, the authors explore how well the history of the city is represented in the present-day names of streets and squares in Bratislava, and propose similar contrastive studies of the history of street names in towns of other regions.

A study has been carried out on the estimation of radiation dose and Organs at Risk (OAR) on abdominal CT-Scan examination using the SSDE method. The data used in this study were secondary data from medical records such as CTDIVol, DLP, and abdominal images of patients. This study aims to determine the size of SSDE, DE, and DEOAR and to determine whether DE is still within tolerance limits to ensure the feasibility of using CT-Scans in these installations. The SSDE value is obtained by multiplying the converted def value (f) and the CTDIVol, while the DE value is obtained by multiplying the DLP value and the conversion factor (k), finally, the DEOAR value is obtained by multiplying the CTDIVol and the organ/tissue weight factor. The results showed that the patient's average SSDE score was 12.04 ± 1.06 mGy, with a male SSDE value of 12.55 ± 1.30 mGy and a female SSDE value of 12.38 ± 2.47. While the average patient DEOAR value obtained was 7.57 ± 0.72 mGy and the patient's average DEOAR value for skin and bone surface was 0.09 ± 0.01 and red bone marrow and large intestine was 1.06 ±0.13. The DE value of this study is still below the tolerance value set by BAPETEN, which is less than 17.46 mGy.

Published: September 2023

A field experiment was carried out during the sunimer season 1982-83 to evaluate the efficacy of 9 insecticides against the post complex of tomato, Var. Pusa ruby. The Treatment of decamethrin proved most effective (1.23% damage) against the fruit borer followed by fenvalerate (2.20% damage) and permethrin (2.76% damage). Three treatments viz., decamethrin, fenvalerate and permethrin offered the best protection against white flies. These three insecticides, also. were effective in reducing the incidence of leaf curl virus. The jassid poulation was significantly low in the three treatments. Considering the economics of insecticidal application in relation to extra yield obtained, the decamethrin gave highest fruit yield (20.000 kg/ha) and highest not profit of Rs. 6,120 per ha followed by permethrin. It is contemplated that the synthetic pyrethorids due to their quick knock down effect, low mammalian toxicity and longer persistense on the treated surface have a bright future in controlling the insect pests of tomato.

A dwarf version of sunflower (70 cm) maturing in 65 days has been developed from an accession "Cernianka-66" of Russian origin. In various on-farm trial in the cultivators' fields it recorded mean yields of 923 and 804 kg/ha under irrigated and rainfed conditions respectively. An average yield of 1126 kg/ha was realised in large scale demonstration plots. The short duration and dwarf plant type permit a closer spacing, 30 x 15 cm to be optium as against the normal spacing of 30x30 cm for the other varie-" ties so as to maintain a larger population. This earliest maturing genotype fit to be ai sed in the kharif, rabi and summer seasons has been released as CO. 1. sunflower. The mean per day production of this variety is 17.7 kg/ha under irrigated and 13,8 kg/ha under rainfed condition. It is well suited for being raised as a catch crop in garden lands

Combining ability analysis was made in rice through line X tester analysis for major yield and yield components. Considerable degree of genetic variability was observed in the parents. The combining ability variances were significant and indicated the importance of both addi- tive and non-additive gene action in the expression of yield characters. Chithariyan was an outstanding general combiner for all the five characters under study. Poongar/IR-8 and Chitharivan/Kannagi were found to be the best cross combination with significant sca effects for important yield components. The crosses that involved Chithariyan as one of the parents were also found with high heterosis.

A Revistinha RFA é um projeto de extensão do Herbário do Instituto de Biologia da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (RFA). O conceito de herbário, como uma coleção de plantas secas, já está bem difundido no ensino e na pesquisa. No entanto, para a população em geral, o conhecimento sobre esse tipo de coleção e temas relacionados à botânica ainda não está amplamente disseminado. Os objetivos do projeto incluem popularizar a ciência e combater a invisibilidade botânica, além de elaborar jogos didáticos, textos mais acessíveis e atividades divertidas. Para promover a democratização do diálogo entre a academia e a sociedade, o projeto realiza atividades de divulgação científica com a participação do público em geral. Essa interação acontece tanto presencialmente como por meio das mídias sociais, através do desenvolvimento de atividades lançadas no Facebook @Herbario.RFA e no Instagram @herbariorfa.ufrj. O projeto já publicou o primeiro volume em julho de 2021, com o tema "herbário", o segundo volume em novembro de 2021, com o tema "coleções associadas", o terceiro e quarto volumes em março e julho de 2022, respectivamente, com o tema "angiospermas", e o quinto volume em dezembro de 2022, com o tema "gimnospermas". Este volume atual, com o tema principal "Samambaias e Licófitas", traz uma repaginação, com novo visual e diagramação, apresentando curiosidades e atividades inéditas e variadas sobre o tema. A principal forma de distribuição do material é digital, mas a impressão eventualmente será direcionada para uso durante visitas ao herbário e em atividades de extensão realizadas em feiras e escolas.

The global threat to treatment of infections associated with multidrug-resistant microorganisms as well as side effects associated with combination therapy calls for the urgent development of new medicines to address these challenges. Endophytic fungi are efficient bio synthesizers and offer a wide array of these reliable bioactive compounds. The present study is aimed at evaluating the effect of combined extracts of endophytic fungi isolated from the leaves of Musa paradisiaca against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Screening for multidrug resistance was carried out using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion assay followed by a preliminary assay of endophytic fungal extracts bioactivity using agar diffusion assay against selected MRSA. A synergistic study using checkerboard assay technique was performed, then extracts were subjected to quantitative evaluation of secondary metabolites using Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector. Axenic cultures of five endophytic fungi from M. paradisiaca (EMp1-Emp5) were isolated from the sampled leaves. All the endophytic fungal extracts inhibited the growth of all the multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus at 0.5 mg/mL. Varying inhibition zones that were concentration-dependent were observed. The combined effects of EMp3 and EMp5 extracts at 9:1; 8:2; 4:6; 3:7; and 2:8 combination ratios produced synergistic effects against S. aureus (S18) with very low Fractional inhibitory Concentrations of 0.03:0.01, 0.01:0.01, 0.006:0.02, 0.01:0.04 and 0.01:0.1 mg/mL respectively. Several bioactive secondary metabolites such as anthocyanin, (-) epicatechin, naringenin, resveratrol, catechin, rutin, phenol were produced by the fungal endophytes. Our findings further affirm fungal endophytes associated with M. paradisiaca leaves as producers of natural antibacterial agents with synergistic potentials.
