New Scenarios of High-Energy Particle Collisions Near Wormholes
Authors: Zaslavskii Oleg B.
Published: November 2020

We suggest two new scenarios of high-energy particle collisions in the background of a wormhole. In scenario 1, the novelty consists of the fact that the effect does not require two particles coming from different mouths. Instead, all such scenarios of high energy collisions develop, when an experimenter sends particles towards a wormhole from the same side of the throat. For static wormholes, this approach leads to indefinitely large energy in the center of mass. For rotating wormholes, it makes possible the super-Penrose process (unbounded energies measured at infinity). In scenario 2, one of colliding particles oscillates near the wormhole throat from the very beginning. In this sense, scenario 2 is intermediate between the standard one and scenario 1 since the particle under discussion does not come from infinity at all.
Bacterial Immunogenicity Prediction by Machine Learning Methods

Published: November 2020

The identification of protective immunogens is the most important and vigorous initial step in the long-lasting and expensive process of vaccine design and development. Machine learning (ML) methods are very effective in data mining and in the analysis of big data such as microbial proteomes. They are able to significantly reduce the experimental work for discovering novel vaccine candidates. Here, we applied six supervised ML methods (partial least squares-based discriminant analysis, k nearest neighbor (kNN), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), random subspace method (RSM), and extreme gradient boosting) on a set of 317 known bacterial immunogens and 317 bacterial non-immunogens and derived models for immunogenicity prediction. The models were validated by internal cross-validation in 10 groups from the training set and by the external test set. All of them showed good predictive ability, but the xgboost model displays the most prominent ability to identify immunogens by recognizing 84% of the known immunogens in the test set. The combined RSM-kNN model was the best in the recognition of non-immunogens, identifying 92% of them in the test set. The three best performing ML models (xgboost, RSM-kNN, and RF) were implemented in the new version of the server VaxiJen, and the prediction of bacterial immunogens is now based on majority voting.

Published: November 2020

A 13-year-old male mixed-breed dog was examined because of hematuria and pyrexia. Ultrasonographic examination of the genitourinary tract showed the presence of a migrating grass awn in the right prostatic lobe. Laparotomy allowed, under ultrasonographic guidance, to remove entirely the migrating grass awn from the prostatic parenchyma. The recovery was uneventful and four months after the surgery the owner reported that the dog showed the complete resolution of the clinical signs and full return to normal activity. To our knowledge, this case report describes for the first time the clinical presentation, imaging findings, management and outcome for a dog with prostatic localization of a migrating grass awn.
Why Flash Floods Occur Differently across Regions? A Spatial Analysis of China
Authors: Liu Yesen , Huang Yaohuan
Published: November 2020

In recent years, flash floods have increased, accompanying rapid economic growth, changes to the natural environment and increases in extreme climate events. However, spatial heterogeneity in the influencing factors has seldom been studied systematically. This paper investigates this issue by using the Geodetector tool and considering 14 factors such as climate, natural environment, and human activities in 11 ecoregions in China based on flash flood records from 1950 to 2015 collected by the Investigation Project of Chinese Flash Floods. The results showed that there is obvious spatial heterogeneity in the main influencing factors and influencing weights in 11 ecoregions. Precipitation and landforms have the greatest effects on flash floods and the interactions of these two factors have the strongest effects as compared to interactions between other factors in most of the 11 ecoregions; however, the effect has obvious variation from northwest to Southeast. Meanwhile, human activities were found to have tangible impacts, especially in ecologically vulnerable regions. The findings provide a new understanding of how and why flash floods occur in a particular region and contribute to the formulation of regionally targeted strategies to cope with flash flood.
An Analysis of Streamflow Trends in the Southern and Southeastern US from 1950–2015

Published: November 2020

In this article, the mean daily streamflow at 139 streamflow-gaging stations (sites) in the southern and southeastern United States are analyzed for spatial and temporal patterns. One hundred and thirty-nine individual time-series of mean daily streamflow were reduced to five aggregated time series of Z scores for clusters of sites with similar temporal variability. These aggregated time-series correlated significantly with a time-series of several climate indices for the period 1950–2015. The mean daily streamflow data were subset into six time periods—starting in 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000, and each ending in 2015, to determine how streamflow trends at individual sites acted over time. During the period 1950–2015, mean monthly and seasonal streamflow decreased at many sites based on results from traditional Mann–Kendall trend analyses, as well as results from a new analysis (Quantile-Kendall) that summarizes trends across the full range of streamflows. A trend departure index used to compare results from non-reference with reference sites identified that streamflow trends at 88% of the study sites have been influenced by non-climatic factors (such as land- and water-management practices) and that the majority of these sites were located in Texas, Louisiana, and Georgia. Analysis of the results found that for sites throughout the study area that were influenced primarily by climate rather than human activities, the step increase in streamflow in 1970 documented in previous studies was offset by subsequent monotonic decreases in streamflow between 1970 and 2015.

Published: November 2020

The upcoming trends related to climate change are increasing the level of interest of social groups in solutions for the implementation and the realization of activities that will ensure the change of these trends and can reduce the impact on the environment, including the health of the community exposed to these impacts. The implementation of solutions aimed at improving the quality of the environment requires taking into account not only the environmental aspects but also the economic aspect. Taking into account the analysis of solutions changing the current state of climate change, the article focuses on the analysis of the potential economic effect caused by the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBSs) in terms of reducing the operating costs related to water retention for local social groups. The analysis is based on a case study, one of the research projects studying nature-based solutions, created as part of the Grow Green project (H2020) in Wrocław in 2017–2022. The results of the analysis are an observed potential positive change in economic effects, i.e., approximately 85.90% of the operating costs related to water retention have been reduced for local social groups by NBSs.

There is no specific drug or therapy against COVID-19. Since the beginning of the pandemic, scientists are running to discover a drug or therapy that can treat the disease. What we found until now are a combined drug and therapies that can mitigate the effects of the disease in the human body and how to manage the patient better. In this article, we tried to join the new discoveries and presented the drugs and therapies and their mechanisms to combat the SARS-CoV-2. We showed the immunomodulators, parasiticides, antiviral drugs (focused on Remdesivir), antimalarial drugs, anti-cytokine drugs focused on the role of IL-6, Reumathological drugs, inhibitors of cell-receptors, antiinflammatory drugs, especially the role of corticosteroids (dexamethasone), antibiotics (azithromycin), anti-thrombotic drugs, blood derivates therapies and alternative therapies currently used against COVID-19. Also, we listed the main results of clinical trials of new therapies presented by Recommended Panel Treatment Guidelines [NIAID-RML (USA)]. We searched the data in the main database (PubMed/Medline, Elsevier Science Direct, Scopus, Isi Web of Science, Embase, Excerpta Medica, UptoDate, Lilacs, Novel Coronavirus Resource Directory from Elsevier), in the high-impact international scientific Journals (Scimago Journal and Country Rank - SJR - and Journal Citation Reports - JCR), such as The Lancet, Science, Nature, The New England Journal of Medicine, Physiological Reviews, Journal of the American Medical Association, Plos One, Journal of Clinical Investigation, and in the data from Center for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and World Health Organization (WHO). We prior selected meta-analysis, systematic reviews, article reviews, and original articles in this order. We used 302 articles from March to June 2020, using the terms coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, novel coronavirus, Wuhan coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome, 2019-nCoV, 2019 novel coronavirus, n-CoV-2, covid, n-SARS-2, COVID-19, corona virus, coronaviruses, immunomodulators, parasiticides, antiviral, antimalarial, anti-thrombotic and anti-cytokine, antiinflammatory, Reumathological drugs, inhibitors of cell-receptors, antibiotics, blood derivates therapies and alternative therapies, with the tools MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), AND, OR, and the characters [,“,; /., to ensure the best review topics.

Effects of productivity growth on domestic savings across countries: Disentangling the roles of trend and cycle
Authors: Kumar Abhishek , Mallick Sushanta , Sen Kunal
Published: November 2020

Resource mobilization continues to be an important policy challenge for developing economies, raising questions as to what determines differences in saving behaviour across countries. Using a panel of 47 economies with at least 40 years of continuous time series data, we causally identify, using a range of approaches, that higher productivity growth leads to greater savings, thereby contributing to higher investment. The dynamics of such productivity shocks have been disentangled into trend and cyclical shocks to uncover that cyclical productivity shocks tend to have a strong positive effect on saving rates. Comparing two countries with different levels of productivity (high and low) in a counterfactual analysis, this result remains robust, and we reconfirm that large declines in productivity shocks were associated with large decline in saving rates. Countries should focus on promoting policies to boost productivity growth and thereby achieve higher savings instead of focusing on savings-induced policies alone.

A disciplina “Oficina de Língua Portuguesa: Leitura e Produção de Textos” é ofertada, on-line e presencialmente, há uma década aos alunos de graduação da UFMG, visando, principalmente, ao letramento acadêmico. Ao fim de todo semestre, pede-se aos alunos que respondam um questionário avaliando o curso e suas atividades. A partir dos dados desse questionário, no período que compreende o segundo semestre de 2017 e o segundo semestre de 2018, percebeu-se, de forma recorrente, a preferência pela atividade “Análise de dados” e a rejeição da “Apresentação em vídeo”. À luz desses dados, nesta pesquisa, buscam-se possíveis explicações para tais escolhas. Acredita-se na importância deste artigo, primeiramente, por abordar gêneros multimodais que, com frequência, são preteridos na sala de aula. Além disso, vê-se tal relevância em razão de o trabalho apresentar, a partir das reflexõesteóricas de Marcuschi (2001), Rojo e Barbosa (2015), Ribeiro (2016), entre outros, a relação entre as escolhas dos alunos, a liberdade criativa permitida e as dificuldades de produção de textos orais pelos sujeitos, potencialmente decorrentes de um déficit educacional em relação à oralidade e ao letramento digital.

Sob um viés teórico, foram abordadas temáticas como cibercultura, formação do docente do ensino superior e pesquisa narrativa. Consideramos que a pandemia proporcionou alterações de forma singular e que a apropriação de certas tecnologias digitais se tornaram vitais para o ensino remoto, corroborando com a realidade contemporânea da cultura digital.
Influence of BiFeO3 perovskite on the structure and magnetic properties of lead-free Bi0.5Na0.4K0.1TiO3 films
Authors: Quan Ngo Duc , Minh Nguyen Duc , Rijnders Guus
Published: November 2020

Lead-free (1-x)Bi0.5Na0.4K0.2TiO3-xBiFeO3 (abbreviated as BNKT-xBFO) ferroelectric films with x in the range from 0.00 to 0.10, were synthesized by the chemical solution deposition technique on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. The microstructures and magnetic behaviors of BNKT-xBFO films were analyzed in detail as a function of BFO concentration. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that BNKT-xBFO films were grown with a single-phase perovskite structure. The pure films showed an antiferromagnetic behavior. The magnetic properties of the films were gradually transferred from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic properties when BFO concentration was raised. The saturated magnetization (M
S) reached the highest value of 10.3 emu cm−3 at the BFO-doped concentration x = 0.10. Our work will contribute to illuminate the impact of BFO (ABO3 perovskite structure) on the magnetic properties of BNKT materials at room temperature.
Relation between cut-off frequency and equivalent circuit of spoof surface plasmon polariton and its applications
Authors: Zhao Hongxin , Wang Qipeng , Liu Leilei , Yin Xiaoxing
Published: November 2020

This paper reveals a relation between the cut-off frequency and the simplified equivalent circuit of a spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP). An SSPP transmission line (TL) with low upper cut-off frequency is proposed based on the relation. In this SSPP-TL, a double-layer interdigital strip is constructed to increase the capacitance in the simplified equivalent circuit model, and in turn the cut-off frequency is decreased. The proposed SSPP-TL features an upper cut-off frequency of only 2.75 GHz, which indicates that the proposed relation is instructive to design the geometry of an SSPP with low cut-off frequency.

SYSTEM DYNAMICS FOR SIMULATION MODEL OF MATERIAL COST IN WATER RECOURCES PROJECT
Authors: Mundra I Wayan , Hirijanto Hirijanto
Published: November 2020

Project cost is one of the constraints in the achievement of a construction project. Limitation on projects financing require more realistic and efficient cost analysis in preparation of project.  Due to changes in projects planning over time, it is usually difficult to predict the future project cost. So, we need an integrated system and give an efficiency for the planner. Project cost consists of cost components which is there are an interrelationship each other’s and influencing the overall cost of the project. The approach using system dynamic is one of the best solutions to identify the causal relationship between cost components by using software tools Ventana Simulation (Vensim) to facilitate the identification of causal relationship (causatic diagram) and mathematical equations between variables in stock flow diagram. The results of system dynamic approach show that the simulation model can be used to predict/ estimate the project’s cost in the coming years. Verification and validation of simulation model is eligible based on the value of means comparison, E1 = 0.32% < 5% and % error variance, E2 = 3.19% < 30% so the developed model can be done scenarios for changes that occur on the system according to the user needs.

This article presents results of a research carried out with the objective of analyzing the participation of Social Control in the sphere of Public Health Policy of a small municipality, located in the Extreme West of Santa Catarina. This is a qualitative study, carried out with the participation of twelve directors, six representatives of non-governmental entities and six of governmental entities. Data were collected between August and December 2019, through interviews with open and closed questions. The research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee. All requirements contained in the Resolution of the National Health Council - CNS 466/2012 were observed and respected. The limits for the participation of members in the Council, time and lack of knowledge in the health area were found as limits, and with regard to the possibilities, a broader view of the health services offered, and within this, the prioritization of actions and actions. It is observed that Social Control is very important and necessarily needs to be maintained and strengthened. The Federal Constitution of 1988 consolidated and predicted in its devices the participation of citizens in the formulation and implementation of Social Control, public health policies. It is hoped that the result of the research can boost proposals that are configured as responses to the strengthening of participation in Social Control, recognizing the Health Councils are deliberative and permanent collegiate organs of the SUS, existing in each sphere of government and members of the basic structure of the health system.
World of Matter. An Eco-aesthetic Approach to the Complex ‘Ecologies’ of Matter
Authors: Varas Ibarra Ana
Published: November 2020

Whereas corporate media and the entertainment industry present an endless stream of apocalyptic scenarios where environmental catastrophe is our unavoidable fate, the new wave of eco-aesthetics aims to bring to the foreground the complex ‘ecologies’ of global forces which contributed to the transition to the new geological epoch.
This paper concentrates on the case study World of Matter, an international media, art, and multidisciplinary research collective that investigates the synergies of social, political, environmental, and economic spheres. Touching upon critical aspects of decolonial critique, this paper argues that World of Matter presents new stances to the understanding of the environmental crisis, the democratisation of the Anthropocene discourse, and brings a new kind of social aesthetics to the foreground.
Szycie i śmierć. Strategie autorskie w późnych filmach Agnès Vardy na przykładzie filmu „Plaże Agnès”
Authors: Kwiatkowska Paulina
Published: November 2020

Artykuł, napisany na krótko przed śmiercią reżyserki, poświęcony jest późnej twórczości Agnès Vardy, zwłaszcza jej filmowi Plaże Agnès z 2008 roku. Analiza wybranych scen pozwala wskazać dominujące strategie wizualne, performatywne i narracyjne, które artystka wykorzystuje, by ująć w formę subiektywnego dokumentu szczególnie dla niej ważne zagadnienia: bycia kobietą i reżyserką. Obie te funkcje czy też kondycje traktuje jako ściśle związane z cielesnością i zmysłowością, dlatego w jej filmach realizowanych w XXI wieku tak ważna okazuje się konfrontacja z własną przemijalnością – z przeczuciem zbliżającej się śmierci, starzeniem się ciała i kruchością pamięci. Proces twórczy jest tu tak silnie ucieleśniony, że można te filmy analizować z perspektywy zmysłowej teorii kina, jednocześnie zastanawiając się nad obranymi przez reżyserkę strategiami w kontekście kryzysu kina autorskiego czy Adornowskiej koncepcji „stylu późnego”. Plaże Agnès okazują się ostatecznie głęboko autotematyczną i świadomą teoretycznie wypowiedzią reżyserki na temat własnej twórczości oraz ujętą w struktury wizualne refleksją nad statusem obrazu i funkcją kina we współczesnym świecie.

Рассмотрены различия в локальной флоре амурской поймы до и после катастрофического наводнения 2013 г. Выявлены изменения в видовом составе, спектрах семейств и эколого-ценотических групп высших растений в высокой и низкой пойме у г. Комсомольск-на-Амуре под влиянием наводнения. Установлено, что после катастрофы растительное сообщество низкой поймы меньше изменило свою таксономическую и экологическую структуру, чем высокой, однако восстановительные процессы в низкой пойме протекали медленнее.

The local flora differences of the Amur flood plain after and before the catastrophic flood in 2013 have been considered. The flood impact on the modification of species checklist, family and ecological-coenotic spectra of the higher plants in the high and low flood plain in the vicinity of Komsomolsk-on-Аmur have been revealed. It was claimed that after the catastrophe the low flood plain plant community had changed its taxonomic and ecological structure to a lesser degree than that of the high one. However the renewal process was stated to be slower in the low flood plain.

Зазначено, що підвищений інтерес до ланцюгів поставок також був спричинений розвитком інформаційних та комунікаційних технологій, що дають змогу часто обмінюватися величезними обсягами інформації серед учасників ланцюга для координації. Встановлено, що управління процесами ланцюга поставок можна додатково класифікувати за моделлю життє-здатної системи, що складається з п’яти взаємодіючих підсистем. Узагальнено перелік конкретних характеристик бізнес-процесу ланцюгу поставок, де кожна характеристика впливає на спосіб організації логістичних процесів. Через специфічні характеристики харчових продуктів важливо укладати контракти з постачальниками, щоб гарантувати постачання сировини зі встановленими обсягом, кількістю, якістю, у визначеному місці та в потрібний час.
HYPERPROLACTINEMIA AND ANEMIA IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
Authors: Loboda Olena
Published: November 2020

Aims: To determine the relationship of prolactin (PL) levels with the frequency of anemia and the level of cardiovascular events in patients with CKD VD stage.Material and methods: A prospective cohort study included 55 patients with CKD VD stage with anemia. Serum prolactin levels were determined in all patients.Results and discussion: 24 patients (44%) had normal levels of PL, and 31 (56%) patients had elevated levels of PL. It was determined that PL had a negative correlation with hemoglobin level (r = -0.42; p = 0.01), as well as a negative correlation with albumin level (r = -0.38; p = 0.02). The frequency of cardiovascular events after 12 months. In patients with elevated levels of PL was significantly higher than in patients with normal levels of PL: 17 events (55%) vs 4 events (17%) (χ2 8.4, p = 0.004).Conclusions: The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia in our study was 56%. Elevated levels of PL are associated with lower levels of hemoglobin, lower levels of albumin and an increased frequency of cardiovascular events.

Introduction: Quality of life is a significant aspect of care among the elderly with HIV/AIDS. The aging process affects their physical, physiological, and social function. Depression due to perceived stigma from the community also influences their quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between depression and stigma on the quality of life among the elderly with HIV/AIDS.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study employed 67 participants were selected by purposive sampling.

Results: Results showed that the majority of participants experienced depression (64.2%) and stigma (76.1%), but they are still classified on good quality of life category (64.2%). Analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between quality of life and depression, & and stigma (p=0.021, p=0.031, α=0.05). Result from logistic regression statistical analysis also revealed that stigma and depression affected the poor quality of life after controlled by gender, occupational status, education, clinical stadium, comorbidities, duration of disease, living and marital status, with the p-value 0.029 and 0.014 (CI=95%), respectively.

Conclusion: Promotive and preventive efforts required to be implemented in reducing stigma on the elderly with HIV/AIDS. Screening program also would help prevent depression among this vulnerable group.

First record of Epicymatoceras vaelsense (Nautilida) from the Maastrichtian white chalk of northern Denmark
Authors: Malchyk Oksana , Machalski Marcin
Published: November 2020

The atypical Late Cretaceous nautilid Epicymatoceras vaelsense (Binkhorst van den Binkhorst, 1862) is described and illustrated on the basis of three specimens from the Maastrichtian white chalk of Denmark. One of these is probably from the lower/upper Maastrichtian boundary interval at Frejlev, while the other two originate from the uppermost Maastrichtian chalk as exposed in the Dania quarry; both localities are in Jylland, northern Denmark. These are first reports of E. vaelsense from Denmark; the species has previously been recorded from the uppermost Campanian and lower Maastrichtian of the Netherlands, Belgium, northern Germany and Poland. The presence of E. vaelsense in the topmost Maastrichtian white chalk in the Dania quarry is considered the youngest record of Epicymatoceras known to date, suggesting the persistence of the genus until the end of the Cretaceous. The diameter of the embryonic conch of the Danish E. vaelsense may be estimated at c. 30 mm, based on an individual from the Dania quarry, confirming earlier observations that the species possessed one of the largest embryonic conchs amongst Late Cretaceous nautilids.
Arquitectura bajo cota cero: pozos y poceros de Buenos Aires en los siglos XVIII y XIX
Authors: Igareta Ana , Chechi Florencia
Published: November 2020

Durante los trabajos de relevamiento y rescate arqueológico realizados en el sitio Moreno 550 de la ciudad de Buenos Aires se identificaron en estratigrafía restos arquitectónicos pertenecientes a una secuencia de edificios construidos entre fines del siglo XVIII y principios del XX. Dichos restos incluían secciones de cimientos de diversas características y en muy mal estado de conservación pero también numerosas estructuras subterráneas –pozos y cisternas– que, por el contrario, conservaban casi intactas sus características originales. Un análisis comparativo de sus rasgos permitió establecer que éstas eran el resultado de dos prácticas constructivas diferentes, una de origen colonial que se extendió hasta mediados del siglo XIX y otra de rasgos más modernos que caracterizó la segunda mitad de dicho siglo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comenzar a indagar el contexto en que se construyeron las estructuras más antiguas, las condiciones en que trabajaron los poceros que las ejecutaron e intentar una reflexión sobre el rol jugado por mano de obra esclava en el desarrollo del componente más básico de la arquitectura de la ciudad: los pozos de obtención de agua y descarte de desechos.
Patients’ Views on Self-Management of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Authors: Huzjan Barbka , Hrvatin Ivana
Published: November 2020

Research Question (RQ): Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a complex condition and one of the most important causes of suffering of modern times. Self-management refers to the individual’s ability to manage the symptoms, treatment, physical and psychosocial consequences and life style changes inherent in living with a chronic condition. The research question is; what is the view on the selfmanagement of chronic musculoskeletal pain from the patient's perspective? Purpose: The purpose of this literature review was to review original articles that reported how selfmanagement educational programmes are viewed from the patient’s perspective. Method: We used an integrative review of the literature. The search was conducted from November 2019 to March 2020 on the PubMed, PEDro and OTseeker databases. We included original studies, written in English that examined the patients’ point of view on self-management. The included studies, needed to be conducted on adult patients of both sexes, that were suffering from chronic pain and were educated on self-management of their pain. Two authors independently searched for original studies. Results: Nine article were included in the review. Most of the studies included a multidisciplinary approach. Patients reported they more frequently used passive strategies to manage their pain. They want to be included in the management and be able to communicate with the provider of selfmanagement. There are several positive aspects of a multidisciplinary and groups approach. Organization: Health care providers can encourage an individual to proactively behave through ongoing processes of communication, partnerships and the creation of appropriate self-management plans over time. Society: We assume that the analysis will help to identify the social responsibility of the individual and society in the common concern for the health of the population and the individual within it. Originality: The research provides an up-to-date, new overview of the patients' perspective on self management on chronic pain. The review can be helpful to health care providers s they can compare their expectations with patients's. Limitations / further research: Further research would focus on high quality studies, and specific forms of multidisciplinary approach, and finding what patients use at a home setting and how to help them continue in the self management of their pain. Limitations of this review include the lack of risk of bias assessment and the fact that this is not a systematic review.

Weather Anomalies and Their Economic Consequences: Penury in Northeastern Hungary in the Late 1870s
Authors: Bodovics Éva
Published: November 2020

This study investigates an episode of penury in 1879–1880 in Borsod and Zemplén Counties which occurred as one of the negative consequences of a short-term weather change which was experienced across Europe in the late 1870s and early 1880s. From the mid-1870s on, due to the wetter and cooler weather, the annual crop yields repeatedly fell below the usual and expected averages in Hungary. After a catastrophic harvest in the autumn of 1879, when the quantity of harvested cereals was sufficient neither for reserves nor for spring sowing, the situation became severe. 1878 had also been a bad year for agriculture: the severe floods in the second half of 1878 not only had washed the crops from the fields but had also covered them with thick sludge that made it impossible to sow in autumn. Since the spring of 1879 was characterized by unfavorable conditions for agriculture (increased rainfall, widespread floods, low average spring temperatures), the local and national authorities continuously kept their eyes on the crops. Thanks to this preliminary attention, the administration was able to respond quickly and in an organized manner to the bad harvest in July and August and could avert catastrophe at national level. The leadership of the two counties responded more or less in the same way to the near-famine conditions. First, they asked the Treasury to suspend tax collection until the next harvest at least so that the farmers who were facing financial difficulties would not have to go into debt. Second, they appealed to the government for financial and crop relief to save the unemployed population from starvation. For those who were able to work, they asked for the approval of public works and major construction projects from the Ministry of Transport and Public Works. For many, such state-funded road construction or river regulation projects were the only way to make a living. Third, the county administrations also gave seeds for spring sowing to the farmers. While Borsod county survived the years of bad harvests without dire problems due to the higher proportion of better quality fields, in the more mountainous region of Zemplén, most landowners had smaller and lower quality lands, and they often chose to emigrate to avoid starvation. These difficult conditions may have provided the initial impetus for mass emigration to Western Europe and America.
