Authors: Volkova E. N. , Miklyaeva A. V. , Bezgodova S. A.
Published: December 2018

Introduction: the paper discusses the psychology of pedagogical mark problem, which has become very relevant in recent years. There is a growing public opinion that school grades should be abolished. It is obvious that such discussions periodically arise in the history of education for several centuries. However, the argument of the expediency of the abolition of the grades is insufficient, fragmented, contradictory and reinforced by the judgments is not scientific, but home plan with appeals to the psychological research of different levels. In this regard, it becomes necessary to create a scientific discourse on this problem in order to prevent pseudo-scientific speculation in solving social issues.

Materials and methods: the paper is an analytical review in which an attempt is made to systematize scientific psychological knowledge on the psychological problem of pedagogical assessment and mark. The main method of studying the psychological context of pedagogical assessment and mark is the method of theoretical analysis of scientific psychological sources.

Results: the consideration of theoretical positions and empirical research in the context of discussing the psychological problem of pedagogical marks and evaluation takes place in the perspective of research of emotional states of the pupil, school anxiety, school motivation, educational motivation, socio-psychological climate of the school class, self-esteem of the student, the relationship between the teacher and the pupil, parent-child relations. Consistently provides the scientific arguments refuting the opinion about the negative impact of teacher selection and evaluation in the above individual and social aspects of the system of relations of the student in the process of educational activity.

Discussion and Conclusions: the conclusion about inexpediency of school marks cancellation is proved. On the basis of the results of psychological research proves the need for pedagogical assessment and mark provided its objectivity and clarity as an effective way of feedback to the pupil and his social environment on the effectiveness of his educational activities.
APPLYING PERSON-X-ENVIRONMENT SCHEME IN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL BOUNDARIES OF PERSONALITY
Authors: Karelin Pavlo
Published: December 2018

The article proves the expediency of usage of experimental scheme PERSON-X-ENVIRONMENT in social-psychological empirical research, that studies how psychological boundaries of personality function in communication. Based on the short review of some modern studies about psychological boundaries, we noticed among them only a small quantity of social-psychological empirical studies. We demonstrate that psychological boundaries are a bi-determined formation that is influenced by dispositional and situational factors. We analyze ways of creating a research plan that helps to increase its reliability and validity in general. We describe advantages of using the PxE scheme in the studies of subject-object mental formations. Using the example of our dissertation research that studies how a person establishes his or her own psychological boundaries in different communicative contexts we created two-factor correlation 2X4 scheme with multidimensional dependent variable. We provide ways to increase reliability and internal validity of the experimental PxE scheme with the means of primary control. We describe methods of increasing constructional validity through creating theoretical model and organizing a psychodiagnostic instrumentarium. We define principles and some methodic techniques of formation of empirical panels for our pilot research and main research. Also, we included a list of relevant methods of mathematical-statistical analysis of empirical research results that correspond with two-dimensional nature of PxE scheme. We mention that for an adequate study of psychological boundaries of a personality, taking their nature into consideration, in social-psychological research about interpersonal processes it is most relevant and methodologically proven to use PxE scheme. We define other possibilities of PxE scheme usage in social-psychological research of psychological boundaries of a personality.
ROLE OF VALUES IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING MOTIVATION TO YOUTH SENSE OF JUSTICE
Authors: Khlon Alexander
Published: December 2018

The study of the role of fundamental values in the formation of sense of justice is an important and relevant topic. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively consider the problems of values in youth, to determine how they affect to the formation of the sense of justice of the younger generation, and to study its role in the process of such formation.
Values acquire value forms based on the psychological presentation of a person about the value of things or other objects of the material or intangible world. Values can be understood as a complex conception of human or group human about phenomena, rules, norms, processes, results, objects or other creation that are important to such a person or group of people and in one way or another to influence to this person or group of people.
The process of forming the values of a young person begins with the emergence of needs. The needs determine desire, motivation, aspiration, which in the future leads to a subjective conception of value. Values that are related to the ideals of society will be called spiritual values.
The modern young generation will persevere attention in focusing on the ideals of spiritual enrichment. At the same time, such a process is not possible without clear guarantees of satisfaction for young people in the first place basic needs. Sense of justice as a means of preventive persuasion, which will contribute to the prevention of crimes only because of the possibility and inevitability of punishment for them, will not fully fulfill its function. The inner conviction is important, as it acts as the reliable guarantor of the sense of justice behavior, which in the future will result in a positive attitude toward the right standards in the young man, and therefore very relevant is the orientation towards the harmonious combination of the young man's aspirations to the formation of values as spiritual as well as others.
A clear and well-considered policy aimed at creating and maintaining right values will contribute to the successful formation of sense of justice among young people, which in turn will lead to the prosperity of our country.
A conscious AI system based on recurrent neural networks applying dynamic information equilibrium
Authors: Kinouchi Yasuo , Mackin Kenneth James , Hartono Pitoyo
Published: December 2018

A basic structure and behavior of a human-like AI system with conscious like functions is proposed. The system is constructed completely with artificial neural networks (ANN), and an optimal-design approach is applied. The proposed system using recurrent neural networks (RNN) which execute learning under dynamic equilibrium is a redesign of ANN in the previous system. The redesign using the RNNs allows the proposed brain-like autonomous adaptive system to be more plausible as a macroscopic model of the brain. By hypothesizing that the “conscious sensation” that constitutes the basis for phenomenal consciousness, is the same as “state of system level learning”, we can clearly explain consciousness from an information system perspective. This hypothesis can also comprehensively explain recurrent processing theory (RPT) and the global neuronal workspace theory (GNWT) of consciousness. The proposed structure and behavior are simple but scalable by design, and can be expanded to reproduce more complex features of the brain, leading to the realization of an AI system with functions equivalent to human-like consciousness.
Methods and intelligent systems of analysis and synthesis new technical solution
Authors: Андрейчиков Александр , Andreychikov Aleksandr
Published: December 2018

This monograph describes the basic methods and intelligent digital technologies of conceptual design, which allow to solve the most important problems of structural synthesis, decision-making and forecasting in the conditions of uncertainty in the early stages of design of technical objects. Conditions of uncertainty mean the presence of incomplete, inaccurate, non-quantitative, unreliable, fuzzy information involved in solving these problems. With the development of Informatization tools, the volume of data that can be used for the synthesis, analysis, forecasting and planning of solutions significantly increases. This, in turn, requires the development of tools for presenting and processing heterogeneous information, as well as effective methods for extracting the necessary information from powerful information flows. Every year, the time allocated for decision-making decreases, and the complexity of procedures increases due to the increase in the number of participants in these processes, with an increase in the amount of information involved, with a rapid and poorly predictable change in the conditions in which the formulation and solution of tasks, as well as the implementation of decisions. In a rapidly changing environment, traditional technologies for analyzing, synthesizing and predicting solutions are not always acceptable, mainly due to time constraints and insufficient quantity and quality of information. All this makes it necessary to obtain forecasts of possible changes in the environment of design tasks and to develop methods for assessing the consequences of decisions. The problem of planning solutions in crisis and unstable situations, which are typical for Russia in recent years, is of particular importance, because in the conditions of the transition economy, the mechanisms of self-regulation either do not work, or work extremely inefficiently, since the processes are unbalanced. Therefore, it is important to identify the types of tasks that occur in such situations and to develop approaches to their solution using information systems. Analysis of methods and computer systems used for the synthesis, prediction and decision-making leads to the conclusion that the most promising are the methods and systems based on the technology of knowledge processing.

Gathering opinion and initiating debate: the success of the Delphi Method in purely qualitative research
Authors: Cape Brian
Published: December 2018

Certain evaluation criteria have emerged frequently from the published literature on Holocaust film. This suggested that it might have been possible to establish a list of such criteria, to provide a framework for the evaluation of Holocaust films. A Delphi survey of United Kingdom Holocaust Studies experts was used to investigate this possibility. The survey elicited in-depth opinions from the experts, which the researcher analysed in order to conclude that evaluating the success of a Holocaust film is dependent upon the subjective interpretation of the individual viewer. This article concentrates upon the methodology used in this study, examining the suitability of the Delphi Method as a tool for rich qualitative research.

The Researcher Librarian Partnership: building a culture of research
Authors: Partridge Helen , Haidn Insa , Weech Terry , Silipigni Connaway Lynn , Seadle Michael
Published: December 2018

Increasingly, the library and information science (LIS) practitioner is being challenged to incorporate research into the context of their professional work. This paper reports on the Researcher-Librarian Partnership, a research-mentoring programme that was initiated by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions. Six new LIS practitioners within their first seven years of professional practice took part in the programme. Each was partnered with an experienced LIS researcher who provided mentoring and support. During the 12-month programme the new professionals designed and implemented a research project on a topic of interest. This paper outlines the details of the programme providing observations on how research mentoring can be a powerful way to ensure all stakeholders – practitioners, educators and professional associations – can plan an active role in supporting the development of a research culture within the profession.
Does dyslexia present barriers to information literacy in an online environment? A pilot study
Authors: Cole Lynne , MacFarlane Andrew , Buchanan George
Published: December 2018

The skills and attributes required to become information literate have not been analysed from the perspective of information users with cognitive disabilities, such as dyslexia and this research seeks to begin to address this gap in the literature. The results of a pilot study involving fourteen participants, seven dyslexic and seven non-dyslexic adults, are reported here. Participants were interviewed and their online information searching behaviour was observed through the collection of screen recording diaries over the completion period of one higher education assignment. Within the dyslexic group, difficulties were reported and observed in the areas of keyword creation, use of appropriate tools to refine and expand searches and the evaluation of sources. The dyslexics' group low self-efficacy in many of the skills associated with information literacy was discovered to be a notable barrier.

Authors: Santos Pedro Felipe Cavalcanti dos , Moreira Ayobami Badiru , Almeida Caio Américo Pereira de , Nóbrega Ranyére Silva
Published: December 2018

O presente artigo objetivou estudar do clima urbano da cidade do Recife e seus condicionantes, como a estrutura urbana e os sistemas atmosféricos atuantes, com foco na identificação espaço-temporal das áreas de maior e menor conforto térmico. Para isto, utilizou-se o método da análise rítmica e dos cálculos de quantis e de Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (ITU), tendo o mês de janeiro de 2016 como período de estudo. Foram utilizados dados meteorológicos disponibilizados pela estação 82900 do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), por dezessete estações da Agência Pernambucana de Águas e Clima (APAC) e de oito Estações de Coleta de Dados (ECD) além de consultas à imagens de satélite. Por fim, o nono e o vigésimo nono dias foram classificados como “extremamente chuvoso” e três dias (16, 18 e 22) como “muito chuvoso”, destes dias. Foram calculados ITU para os dias 04, 09 e 22, representando as classes "extremamente seco", "extremamente chuvoso" e "muito chuvoso" respectivamente. Os sistemas climáticos se mostraram grandes condicionantes das temperaturas e do conforto térmico na cidade do Recife, as áreas no setor leste da cidade se mostraram mais desconfortáveis que o setor oeste. O setor leste da cidade, além de mais desconfortável, se mostrou menos úmido e menos chuvoso que o setor oeste. Ainda não há como saber se esse padrão se repete nos outros meses ou se é característico do espaço recifense, mas outros estudos deverão ser desenvolvidos para investigar esse fenômeno.

Herramientas embotadas
Authors: Giuliani Luigi
Published: December 2018

This article tackles the problem of editing the stage directions from a neo-Lachmannian point of view. After considering the nature of the stage direction a sign within the semiotic nature of the theatrical text, the behaviour of the copyists in the manuscript and printed transmission of the Spanish theatre of the Golden Age is taken into account, in order to analyse those problems that arise in the application of the method in the phase of constitutio textus. Thus, the focus is on four paradigmatic cases: variants stemming from different staging; variants within a recensio cum stemmate; variants in a contaminatio; lack of stage directions either in one-witness traditions or in the archetype.
Las acotaciones de Calderón
Authors: Rodríguez-Gallego Fernando
Published: December 2018

This paper intends to outline a panorama of the stage directions present in the seven plays by Calderón de la Barca of which the autograph manuscript has been preserved, in order to observe the modifications they suffered when the texts were transmitted to other ancient testimonies, with some specific references to modern critical editions. The analysis intends to show if there is regularity in this process, either towards the amplification, or towards the reduction, of the stage directions written by Calderón. It has been verified, however, that neither Calderón was regular in his writing practice with respect to the stage directions, nor were the following testimonies, no matter if they were printed editions or company manuscripts, although the genre and the scenic complexity of the plays seem to be behind the behaviour of the poet. Only in the Vera Tassis editions a conscious and quite systematic work regarding the stage directions has been perceived, tending in general to the addition of explicit indications that could be deduced from the dialogue, with the intention, presumably, of facilitating the reading of the texts.
La edición de variantes didascálicas en el teatro inglés de la época de Shakespeare
Authors: Tronch Pérez Jesús
Published: December 2018

This essay describes how variants in stage directions and speech prefixes of early modern plays (between 1585 and 1642), have been treated in modern editions from the 19th century to the present. The analysed variants derive both from different (usually printed) witnesses and from a single manuscript witness when the stage directions and speech prefixes are altered by a hand different from the main manuscript hand. Prior to this description, the essay offers an overview of the editorial treatment of stage directions in general in English plays of the period.

The article pays attention to appearances of Gothic characters and episodes in theatre (La Numancia), the Quijote and poetry, which is crucial to examine the evocation of Spain’s Gothic past in the Persiles (III, 8), a passage which is meant as a minichorography that replies to Toledo’s efforts to recover its symbolical power (political and religious), in a new area of conflict with Lope and Avellaneda.
Gender Roles, Family Models and Community-Building Processes in Poblenou
A Comparative Analysis of American, British and Catalan Soap Operas
Authors: Grassi Silvia
Published: December 2018

This article explores connections between construction of gender roles, family models and community-building processes in soap opera narratives. The underlying research hypothesis maintains that construction of gender roles and family models in soap operas influences values around which a sense of community is constructed. Using textual analysis as methodology and an intercultural approach, this study compares and contrasts British and American soap operas. This approach allows to set out two contrasting models and investigate whether and to what extent Catalan soap operas adhere to one of them by proposing an original analysis of selected characters and storylines from a corpus of Catalan drama serials. This article also queries in which ways Catalonia’s situation as a stateless nation influences a sense of community construction in Catalan soap operas.

The First Russian Studies on the Art of Southern Caucasus
Authors: Foletti Ivan , Rakitin Pavel
Published: December 2018

The article investigates the perception of the cultural and artistic production of the Southern Caucasus, after the annexation of Georgia in 1801, by three highly educated intellectuals of the time: the Metropolitan Evgeniy Bolkhovitinov, the historian Platon Ioseliani and the artist and architect Grigory Gagarin. Their writings reveal a latent concept of historical pre-eminence of the Caucasian region, and Georgia in particular, as a cultural and sacred outpost of two countries, the Byzantine Empire and the Empire of the Russian Monarchs of the 19th century.
Illuminating an Armenian Collection of Manuscripts
A Forgotten Treasure in the Layard Collection
Authors: Riva Cecilia
Published: December 2018

In 1902 Enid Layard bequeathed four illuminated Armenian manuscripts, belonging to her late husband, to the Armenian Mekhitarist College of Venice and to the Correr Museum. This survey retraces the manuscripts’ earlier provenance and their arrival in the Venetian collections. Austen Henry Layard’s private papers and publications attest to a close relationship with the Armenian community, both in Constantinople and Venice. The aim of this paper is not only to show more fully the early reception of Armenian artworks in a Western context, but also to present a first study of these manuscripts by providing some comparisons.
Armenian Art and Culture from the Pages of the Historia Imperii Mediterranei
Authors: Riccioni Stefano
Published: December 2018

The article studies the editorial series called “Historia Imperii Mediterranei” (HIM) that was directed by Lauro Mainardi, an official of the National Fascist Party, in cooperation with the Armenian Committee of Italy. Between 1939 and 1941, the HIM published a series of booklets entitled Armenia that contained not only articles on Armenia but also “essays on Oriental culture”. According to Mainardi, the HIM had a wide cultural interest in art and architecture but also in literature, poetry, philosophy, and politics. The series published two significant essays: the article by Josef Strzygowski, where he innovatively affirmed the role of the East in Christian art and where he employed “Aryan” racial theory; and Giuseppe Frasson’s article, which shows that Strzygowski was recognised as an innovator but, at the same time, that Byzantine studies in Italy were confined to the nationalistic purpose of affirming ‘Italian’ elements in Roman art. In conclusion, the HIM illustrates the political and cultural strategy of the Fascist party with respect to the Caucasian question in addition to its support of the strategy of the Armenian Committee of Italy for protecting Armenians in Italy before the Second World War.

Established and Emerging Decision Constructs – A Taxonomic Perspective
Authors: Barry Chris , Hogan Mairéad , Torres Ann M.
Published: December 2018

One might assume information systems (IS) are developed so systems enhance the user experience and facilitate a satisfying, productive interaction. From prior research, the authors established this assumption was not safe and certain design features amongst some online retailers were atypical of ‘good’ design elsewhere. It was apparent the transactional process was being used to present consumers with optional extras (and other decisions) that not only slowed the process down, but also stressed and agitated users. The research identified some new and unusual decision constructs such as the ‘must-opt’. The objective of the research presented herein is two-fold: to make an incremental contribution in first theorising and then identifying and categorising into a taxonomy some new decision constructs alongside established ones encountered throughout on-line Business-to-Consumer (B2C) transactional processes followed by a preliminary study confirming their existence and examining their clarity.

The survey and principal component analysis of the sample consisting of 1013 individuals who use ICT in their everyday work was implemented in the research. 13 factors combine 68 questions and explain 59.13 per cent of the answers dispersion. Based on the factor analysis, questionnaire was reframed and prepared to reasonably analyze the respondents’ answers, revealing technostress causes and consequences as well as technostress prevalence in the population in a statistically validated pattern. A key elements of technostress based on factor analysis can serve for the construction of technostress measurement scales in further research.
Categorical model of structural operational semantics for imperative language
Authors: Steingartner William , Novitzká Valerie
Published: December 2018

Definition of programming languages consists of the formal definition of syntax and semantics. One of the most popular semantic methods used in various stages of software engineering is structural operational semantics. It describes program behavior in the form of state changes after execution of elementary steps of program. This feature makes structural operational semantics useful for implementation of programming languages and also for verification purposes. In our paper we present a new approach to structural operational semantics. We model behavior of programs in category of states, where objects are states, an abstraction of computer memory and morphisms model state changes, execution of a program in elementary steps. The advantage of using categorical model is its exact mathematical structure with many useful proved properties and its graphical illustration of program behavior as a path, i.e. a composition of morphisms. Our approach is able to accentuate dynamics of structural operational semantics. For simplicity, we assume that data are intuitively typed. Visualization and facility of our model is not only a new model of structural operational semantics of imperative programming languages but it can also serve for education purposes.

Published: December 2018

The paper deals with the ACP2Petri tool, providing a transformation of process algebraic specification to equivalent Petri net-based specification. Long-term practical experiences with the tool revealed some suggestions for its update and extension. Shortcomings and limitations found are described and proposed solutions provided within the paper. Implemented extensions, simplifying the usage of the tool and providing more options for analysis of particular transformation, are also presented. One of the most evident extensions of the tool is its graphical user interface, which allows for convenient management and detailed control over the process of transformation.
Differences in prioritization of the BSC’s strategic goals using AHP and ANP methods
Authors: Janeš Aleksander , Kadoić Nikola , Begičević Ređep Nina
Published: December 2018

The development and empirical verification of the balanced scorecard (BSC) model, using the multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) called the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the analytic network process (ANP), are the key issues of the presented research. The paper presents the methodology of the prioritization of the BSC goals with the AHP and ANP methods. Even though the prioritization of the goals is possible with both, findings from the empirical analysis showed that the ANP is more complementary with the BSC because of the influences among the goals in the BSC. The ANP supports the modelling of those influences (through dependencies) and the AHP does not. The paper discusses special situations in prioritizing the BSC goals (understanding the ANP from the perspective of the user and the BSC with strategic goals that do not directly influence any other strategic goal) and proposes solutions. Therefore, it can be asserted that introducing the ANP to implement the BSC and vice versa, improved the decision-making approach and the quality of the obtained results. The research was based on a case study of modelling the BSC for Ydria Motors LL (YM), a manufacturing company.

In the recent years, several disease-resistant apple varieties appeared through the modern breeding technologies. These varieties can be grown with low usage of pesticides, which mean not only environment friendly fruit growing, but the production costs are also lower. In Eastern-Hungary — it is one of the main apple growing regions — a new apple growing structure started to form by the investment of the German Wink Ltd. — several resistant apple varieties were brought from Germany. 'Resistant' refers genetic resistance that usually transferred from the genome of wild apple species. But the fruit of these apple species is not only resistant to diseases, but its quality is poorer, too. In Germany the Re-apples are grown only for the processing industry. Due to climatic circumstances in Eastern Hungary, the first experiences showed better parameters during laboratory measurement, the fruits have more beautiful view, shape and inner characters than usual industrial apples.

In our paper we discuss the results of sensory (consumer) tests, carried out in Eastern Hungary and in the Budapest-region the data analysis of systematic storing experiments (refraction, flesh firmness, weight loss, etc.) and profile analysis of fresh and stored Re-apples. (In the profile analysis the ProfiSens software [4,5] has been used.)

Cut flowers of Chrysanthemum morifolium RAM cv. Suny Reagan were treated with different concentrations of 8- hydroxyquinoline sulfate (8-HQS), silver thiosulfate (STS) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in order to improve the post production quality. 8-HQS was used at 200 and 400 ppm with or without sucrose at 50 O. STS was used at 0.2, and 0.4 mM with or without sucrose at 50 g/1 1-MCP was used at 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 g/m3 for 6h.

All the treatments of 8-HQS prolonged the vase life and minimized the percentage of weight loss of chrysanthemum cut flowers compared to the control. The vase life was larger when sucrose not combined with 8-HQS. The best treatment of 8-1-IQS was 400 ppm 8-HQS without sucrose. STS treatment led to prolong the vase life and minimized the percentage of weight loss comparing to the control. In addition, the effect was better when sucroseas was added to STS. The treatment of STS at 0.4 mM + 50 g/I sucrose was the best one. 1-MCP treatment increased the vase life and lowered the percentage of weight loss at any level comparing with untreated control. The best treatment in this concern was 1-MCP at 0.5 g/m3 for 6h. The chlorophyll content (chl.a and chl.b) of the leaves for the best treatment of each chemical was higher than that of the control. The treatment of 1-MCP at 0.5 g/m3 6h gave the best results in this respect.
Floral biological studies on pear cultivars in relation to fire blight susceptibility

Floral biological characteristics that may influence cultivar susceptibility to fire blight were studied in 10 pear cultivars in two Hungarian orchards from 1999 to 2003. The receptaculo-ovarial, automorphic nectary is usually bigger in tolerant cultivars than in susceptible ones. Nectary stomata are meso- or xeromorphic. Susceptible cultivars tend to have more xeromorphic stomata, where guard cells are located 1-3 cell rows below the epidermis. The size of nectar chambers is usually smaller in susceptible cultivars. Floral nectar, consisting mainly of glucose and fructose, is more abundant and less concentrated if the cultivar is susceptible to fire blight. The amount of chlorogenic acid was higher in the flowers of tolerant cultivars than in susceptible ones.
Fire blight in Hungary between 1996 and 2003

Shoot blight of pome fruits caused by Erwinia amylovora, i.e. fire blight, is present in numerous countries of Europe. The disease must have entered into Hungary in the middle of the 1990's and it was first noted and, respectively, identified in 1996 (Bacs-Kiskun county). The losses caused by the pathogen appeared — in orchards and scattered sites of production — in four counties, namely Bacs-Kiskun, Baranya, Bekes and Csongrad at the beginning. From June 1996, a process of eliminating infected parts started in the course of a large action performed under the control of the Department of Plant Protection and Agro-Environmental Economy of the Ministry of Agriculture, under the direction of the plant protection inspectors of the then existing Stations of Plant Health and Soil Conservation. The 'operation' against the disease commenced by cutting back out the infected parts of the canopy and, grubbing them out, respectively. As for the spread of the pathogen (1996-1998) it could be observed that the disease entered into Hungary from the south, south-east and then it also spread into the middle part of the country. As a result of adequate official action and efforts as well as of adequate chemical and antibiotic treatments, moreover because of the introduction of more modern technologies of plant cultivation and those of plant protection it can be reported on that the pathogen hardly appears or does not occur at all on the northern, north-western part of the country. The infection also appears mainly on the parts east of the Danube. Cultivars less susceptible or non-susceptible to the disease are planted in recently established orchards what is also a considerable factor in respect of preventing spread of the pathogen.
Traditional farming within the Carpathian basin - pomaceous fruits
Authors: M. G. Tóth , Zs. Szani
Published: December 2018

In the Carpathian basin there are still maintained the main historical fruit varieties and traces of traditional farming. The Department of Fruit Science considered the utilisation of obsolete varieties in breeding as source of resistance to local adversities, moreover, the practice of traditional .farming using those varieties should be also explored. In the present study, the farming methods and variety structure of two substantially different growing sites are described. One is an alluvial plain along a river were an ancient form of farming based on the control of sluices. The second is practised by clearing the forest on the slopes of the central range and of the Carpathian chain. During the course of our research we succeeded to find 8 pear, 29 apple and a few quince as well as medlar varieties. Further endeavour would be the conservation of those varieties, preferably on the spot together with their growing techniques as relicts, also as aesthetic components of that particular landscape. Our committed partners in this work are the National Parks.
Fruit Quality of Sweet Cherry Cultivars Grafted on Four Different Rootstocks
Authors: Simon G. , Hrotkó K. , Magyar L.
Published: December 2018

A rootstock trial planted at the Szigetcsep experimental station in 1989 involved the study of two cultivars- `Germersdorfi FL 45' and 'Van' -grafted on four different rootstocks — 'Colt', `MxM 14 — Brokforest', `MxM 97 — Brokgrow' and 'Saint Lucie 64' as a control. The trees were trained to the "Modified Brunner-spindle" system and came into bearing in 1993. The yield per tree, fruit weight and fruit diameter have been measured each year since then. The refractivity, the acid content of the fruit juice, fruit cracking after four hours' dipping in water and stone weight ratio have also been measured since 1995. In 1997 and 1998 these parameters as well as fruit cracking after 24 hours' dipping were measured. Fruit firmness and fruit colour were also estimated. In almost every observed parameter significant differences were found between the scion cultivars. Yield efficiency was significantly higher on 'NUM 14' and 'Saint Lucie 64' than on the other two rootstocks. As regards fruit weight, in both cultivars and over an average of six years, it was found that trees on low yielding tree on 'Colt' rootstock had the highest fruit weight values and on heavy producing `MxM 14' the smallest. Soluble solids content was higher on 'Colt' and `MxM 97'. No significant differences between the rootstocks were found in acid content of the fruit juice. There were significant differences between the rootstocks in fruit cracking after 4 and 24 hours' dipping in water. Seemingly with respect to cultivars and rootstocks the year has a considerable effect on fruit cracking.
