Authors: Ahmad Maqsood , Riaz Hira , Rahman Saif Ur , Hafiza Nabila Shahzadi
Published: March 2024

Many studies have drawn conflicting conclusions about relationships between labour transfers, monetarily buildup, growth, and living standards in different settings, but only partially so. For this purpose, the capital and threshold conduction effects are often used to trace transmission channels for causal links. On the other hand, workers' remittances play a key role in the financial development of the economy. No study has specifically focused on the effects of worker transfers on living standards in Pakistan by monitoring the main and threshold transfer channels. Thus, there is a considerable need to explore these channels and their expansion. This study examines the effect of workers' remittances on living standards by expanding the capital conduit and threshold channels. The study scrutinizes the direct impact of financial development on living standards by tracing the threshold effect channel. Second, it channels the influence of financial development with living standards through the capital channel for GDP growth. Third, it examines the unintended effect of labour transfers on living standards by the financial development and GDP growth based on extended versions of capital leadership and threshold channels. to estimate bidirectional causal relationships between financial development and GDP growth. The data were taken for the period 1980–2020. Employing ARDL-bound (cointegration) testing, the study's results indicate a direct and indirect long and short-term relationship between worker transfers and living standards if we consider the effects of financial development and GDP growth. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the extension of the journey contributed significantly. Policymakers can use these findings to understand better worker remittances' role in developing financially sound strategies.

Authors: Alok Kumar Singh, Ashish Raj Ravinder Singh Maan,
Published: March 2024

As a sustainable energy source, the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has significantly increased. Environmental elements, especially partial shadowing circumstances, have a considerable impact on how well solar PV systems function. In such cases, the various local maxima in the power-voltage curve make it difficult for conventional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods to maintain peak efficiency. Heuristic Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system for solar photovoltaic (PV) applications, employing the cuckoo search algorithm. The primary objective of the research is to enhance the efficiency and reliability of solar PV systems by optimizing the MPPT process, which is crucial for maximizing energy extraction under varying environmental conditions. The model is used to simulate the performance of the system under various environmental conditions, such as changes in temperature and irradiance levels. The simulation results are then statistically analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the cuckoo search algorithm in tracking the maximum power point accurately and rapidly. The algorithm demonstrates a robust ability to converge to the maximum power point efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall energy yield of the solar PV system.. The performance of the hybrid PSO-CSA  MPPT algorithm in contrast to traditional MPPT techniques is assessed through simulations and tests under various shading circumstances. The findings show that the hybrid strategy regularly outperforms conventional methods by enhancing the total energy production of partially shadowed solar PV installations through faster convergence, less oscillations, and greater tracking accuracy. The proposed hybrid algorithm also demonstrates stability and flexibility in real-world settings, making it a potential option for boosting the dependability and efficiency of solar PV systems when shade is present. This study advances the field of renewable energy and prepares the path for the use of sophisticated optimization methods to the problems of solar PV power generation under changing environmental circumstances.

Published: March 2024

This paper makes use of Two-way Analysis of Variance approach to check whether significant difference exists in the weight of an infant as it relates to gravida and maternal age or not. Five hundred and thirty-three (533) samples on the weight of an infant, maternal age and gravida sourced from Family Support Programme (FSP) Makurdi Benue State, Nigeria was used. Maternal age was divided into five (14-19, 20-25, 26-31, 32-37 and 38-43); the level of gravida (number of pregnancies) considered are gravida one (1), gravida two (2), gravida three (3) and gravida four (number of pregnancies greater than or equal to four). The results revealed that significant difference exist between the maternal age as it relates to the weight of an infant since the p_value of 0.0001 is less than 0.05 alpha level of significance. Significant difference was also seen in gravida since the p_value of 0.0001 is less than 0.05 alpha level of significance. As a result of significant difference observed in both maternal age and gravida, multiple mean comparison was carried out to identify the mean weight that actually differs. It was discovered that the mean weight of an infant in gravida four (4) is different from that of gravida one (1) and two (2), in addition, gravida 3 and 1 were statistically significant. Maternal age one (14-19) was also found to be different from every other age group.

A Fehérlófia-mesetípus kínai párhuzamai
Authors: Horváth Izabella
Published: March 2024

A Fehérlófia típusú mese a Kínában élő hajdani lovas nomád népek leszármazottjainál lényegében még ma is megtalálható. Viszont európai szomszédjainknál csak töredékek észlelhetők, ahogy ezt Berze Nagy János már a múlt század közepén megjegyezte. Igy tehát nem juthatunk arra a következtetésre, hogy régen a magyarok „átvettek” egyes Fehérlófia-motívumokat, (hogy a teljes mesetörténetről ne is beszéljünk) olyan nyugatra elő szomszédoktól, akik tőlünk eltérő társadalmi felállásban éltek. Ellenkezőleg: mivel a honfoglaló magyarok és azok ősei a pusztai népek társadalmi köréhez tartoztak, megosztva azok szokásait és értékrendszerét, a Fehérlófia mese ennek a kiterjedt társadalmi rendszernek az egyik legfontosabb jellegzetessége: a sámán és az uralkodó társadalmi szerepéről szóló tanítás. A Fehérlófia-mesefolyamat nagyszámú párhuzama kelet felé mutat, és Kína területén ma is megtalállható a türk és mongol népek meséi között.

Az utóbbi két évszázadban hasznosítása széleskörűvé vált: a háziasszonyok szenes vasalóikba, a kisiparosok köréből a kovácsok, lakatosok, bádogosok a fémek izzításához, a nagyipari termelésben a vasolvasztó kohók, vashámorok számára jelentett nélkülözhetetlen adalék- és fűtőanyagot. A szénégető mester lényegében egy kémiai folyamat szabályozott lefolyását teremti meg és felügyeli: a fa levegőmentes környezetben történő hevítése, 330–430 Celsius-fokon végbemenő lepárlása során a faanyagból a szén és a hidrogén kivételével a többi alkotórészek kiégnek, a füsttel és a gőzzel együtt elpárolognak. A szénégetés technológiájában a rézkori ércolvasztás és kovácsolás felfedezése óta nem történt jelentős változás. Az egyszeri égetéssel előállított termék mennyiségében, a kiégetésre szánt faanyag kitermelésében, előkészítésében viszont annál inkább érvényesült a szerszámok korszerűsödése és a felvevőpiac időről időre feltámadó határtalan étvágya. A minőségi faszén iránti igény miatt és a szénégetés automatizálásának elmaradása miatt ez az egykori Háromszéken is szokványos erdei foglalkozás még modern világunkban is megtartotta létjogosultságát.
„Kezenſegews (közönséges), reeghy (régi), ygienlew (egyenlő)”. Draskovich György pécsi püspök magyar nyelvű hitvédelmi munkássága
Authors: Majorossy Imre Gábor
Published: March 2024

A következőkben az első magyar nyelvű katolikus hitvédelmi munka vázlatos bemutatását olvashatjuk. Draskovich György pécsi püspök 1561-ben lefordította az V. században élt Lerinumi Szent Vince apologetikai munkáját, melyben a galliai egyházatya – többek között – arra próbált mindenkor használható kritériumrendszert fölállítani, mikor tekinthető egy hittanítás hitelesnek. A mű mintegy ezer esztendősen is aktuálisnak tűnhetett a horvát származású, a magyar nyelv ápolásának és a katolikus hit védelmezőjének elkötelezett egyházi és politikai személyiség számára: csakúgy, mint Vince idejében, a megjelenő és mindinkább terjedő reformációval szemben sürgetően szükségessé vált olyan, a „végeken” is érthető és használható, gyakorlati módszertan kidolgozása, amellyel a lelkipásztori aprómunkát végző papság is megvédelmezhette a katolikus hitet. Draskovich György elévülhetetlen érdemeket szerzett a magyar nyelv fejlesztésében és terjesztésében, a trienti zsinat határozatainak megvalósításában, valamint a horvát tartományok katolikusként történt megőrzésében.
Zrínyi Miklós pozsonyi csodálói
Authors: Restás Attila
Published: March 2024

A dolgozat két olyan 1663–1664-ben megjelent könyvet vizsgál, amelyek még Zrínyi Miklós életében jelentek meg. A bennük található alkalmi versek Zrínyi katonai sikereit laudálják, amit összekapcsolnak Zrínyi családi örökségével és utalnak a további törökellenes tervekre is, miközben – évszázadok óta használt toposzok segítségével – bemutatják a török pusztítást, és érzékeltetik a keresztény Európa számára a török pusztítás veszélyét. Az köztudomású az újabb kutatások nyomán, hogy Zrínyi és a hozzá közel álló politikai körök igénybe vették röplapok, hírújságok és költemények segítségét, hogy méltó propagandával biztosítsák a hős Zrínyi és politikus reprezentációját és jó hírét. Ezek közül az egyik, a pozsonyi evangélikus iskola Magyar tanítója, Guttovieni József Carmen acrosticum címmel, míg a pozsonyi kanonok, Moró Ignác Bustum lamentabile címmel jelentetett meg kötetet (ez utóbbi egy emblémáskönyvet). Mindkettejükre jellemző az antik és a bibliai elemek egymásra vonatkoztatása, e kétféle paradigma párhuzamos használata, a bibliai elemek antikizálása és az antik elemek krisztianizálása. Dolgozatomban e két kötetet mint irodalmi és történeti dokumentumot mutatom be.
A kardhoz kapcsolódó eszmék és rítusok a középkori és kora újkori Magyarországon, különösképpen Erdélyben és Székelyföldön
Authors: Sashalmi-Fekete Tamás
Published: March 2024

A kard nemcsak fegyver a középkorban, hanem státuszszimbólum, a felsőbb társadalmi réteghez tartozás jelképe, de akár a kiválasztottság jelzője is volt. Európában széles körben ismert Artúr király legendája, amelyben egy kőből kihúzott kard teszi királlyá az ifjút, a magyar-hun hagyomány szerint pedig Attila megkapta az Isten kardját. Az utóbbi évtized külföldi és hazai kutatásai megismertették a szkíta, hun, szarmata-jazig és alán kardkultusz jellegzetességeit és kulturális hatását az európai népekre. A kard hatalmi jelkép, melynek már a megjelenése, birtoklása is tekintélyt adott gazdájának. Vajon miként gondolkodhattak a középkori Magyar Királyság területén élők a kardról, milyen vallásos képzetek tartoztak hozzá? Milyen rítusok és szokások tartoztak ezen fegyverhez a középkori Erdély területén élő székelyek, szászok között? A tanulmány célja bemutatni azon eszméket, szertartásokat, szokásokat, amelyek meghatározó elemei voltak a korabeli hitvilágnak és a katonai hagyományoknak.
Étellel, itallal kapcsolatos magyar lexikai kölcsönzések a kárpátaljai nyelvekben és nyelvjárásokban. Kenyér- és egyéb tésztafélék
Authors: Zékány Krisztina
Published: March 2024

A nyelvek kölcsönhatása Kárpátalja esetében abszolút természetesnek mondható. A kölcsönhatás foka a történelmi időszaktól, valamint a kutatópontok lakosságának nemzetiségi összetételétől is nagymértékben függ. Korábban igen erős volt a magyar nyelv hatása a térségben. A történeti szókölcsönzések sok esetben beépültek, hozzáidomultak a többi nyelv szókészletéhez, s mára már nemigen lehet megkülönböztetni őket. De minden korban jelen vannak az ún. dublettek is, amikor a beszélő felváltva használja több nyelven is valaminek a megnevezését anélkül, hogy ez a társalgásban bárkit is korlátozna a környezetében: pl. orosz. gorod – ukr. miszto – magy. város. A vegyes lakosságú településeken, vagy a színmagyar falvakba beházasodó más nemzetiségűek csakhamar megszólalnak magyarul. A kárpátaljai nem magyar ajkúak nyelvezetében tehát az orosz, román, szlovák, roma szavakon kívül nagyszámban fordulnak elő magyar szavak is. A kulináriával, étellel, itallal kapcsolatos szókincs pedig kimeríthetetlen tárháza a nyelvi kölcsönzésnek. Mivel egymás konyháját, ízeit is eltanultuk, a fogások, konyhai eljárások, alapanyagok neve is átkerült a szomszédba.

A mastite caprina é um problema comum, mesmo em criações bem manejadas, e a implementação de medidas de controle é essencial para garantir a viabilidade desse tipo de produção. Nesse contexto, este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar as possíveis contribuições dos componentes minerais do pó de rocha, no controle e prevenção da mastite subclínica em caprinos. Foi realizada análise bioinformática, utilizando a base de dados Search Tool for Interactions of Chemicals STITCH. Para isso, os elementos potássio, sódio e silício, juntamente com as proteínas ica (A, B, C, D), foram inseridos na plataforma para a construção da rede de interação proteica. Os resultados indicaram que o potássio atua na enzima Guanilato quinase, relacionada à formação de biofilmes, e da proteína murB, associada ao crescimento e desenvolvimento do Staphylococcus caprae. No entanto, este mineral demonstrou potencial em desfavorecer o crescimento bacteriano, inibindo a proteína asd. O sódio mostrou-se como fator inibitório para a formação de biofilmes via proteína tmk. O silício, por sua vez, pode colaborar com atenuação do processo infecioso por intermédio das moléculas de sódio e potássio, reduzindo níveis de glicose que desfavorece a formação de biofilmes e ainda atuando em proteínas como a pgi, que se inibida pode prejudicar o desenvolvimento do S. caprae.

A internacionalização está no topo das metas da gestão da Inovação. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo busca analisar os acordos de cooperação internacionais que contenham transferência de tecnologia para conhecer como a Universidade de Brasília (UnB) atua internacionalmente com soluções inovadoras. A análise dos acordos internacionais firmados pela UnB revela um baixo número de acordos que envolvem transferência de tecnologia. Em mais de 150 acordos vigentes, apenas um envolve o tema. No caso específico da UnB, a universidade possui um acordo assinado com empresa russa que prevê a instalação e operação de uma estação de medições a laser do sistema Globalnaya navigatsionnaya sputnikovaya sistema (GLONASS), sistema de medições a laser de distância via satélite. Diante desse cenário, é importante que a UnB reveja sua estratégia de internacionalização, com o objetivo de aumentar o número de acordos internacionais que envolvem transferência de tecnologia

Published: March 2024

Introdução: As demências são doenças neurodegenerativas, que podem incluir alterações na memória: semântica e de outros conhecimentos. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar a discrepância entre a memória semântica de indivíduos com e sem diagnóstico de processos demenciais. Métodos: Participaram 18 indivíduos, foram divididos em dois grupos com números iguais, com e sem processos demenciais. Para a avaliação foi utilizada a Bateria de Avaliação da Memória Semântica (BAMS) com análise de dados por meio de medidas de tendência central e dispersão. Os participantes são provenientes de um ambulatório de especialidades médicas, do interior do estado de São Paulo. Resultados: Em ambos os grupos o tempo de escolaridade (três anos) e a idade média (em torno de 70 anos) ficaram próximas, ocorrendo variação quanto ao gênero. Discussão: Foram identificadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos quanto ao tempo de execução e a fluência verbal. Outras significâncias menores também foram encontradas, no domínio léxico e no teste de nomeação de imagens. Conclusão: Foram identificadas diferenças significativas entre os grupos, ressaltando-se a importância de mais estudos com populações similares.
