The methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene plays a key role in carcinogenesis through its effects on DNA synthesis and methylation and also has a significant role in the etiology of many disorders, such as diabetes, migraine, and cardiovascular disease. Neurofibromatoses (NF) are autosomal dominant inherited diseases that can affect tissues such as bone and skin and predispose individuals to tumor development in various parts of the nervous system or body. Optic nerve glioma and brain tumors are common in children with NF, and leukemia and lymphoma incidence is also higher than normal. We therefore aimed to investigate the possible relationship between the MTHFR gene polymorphism and accompanying tumors such as neurofibroma, hamartoma, and optic glioma in children with NF1 found to have the MTHFR 677 and MTHFR 1298 gene polymorphism in this study. We included 55 pediatric patients diagnosed with NF1 between 2005 and 2014 in the study group. The control group included 44 healthy subjects without acute or chronic disease findings. A significant relationship was found between the MTHFR A1298C polymorphism and the incidence of optic glioma (p=0.014) (AA vs. AC: OR 11, 95% CI 1.27-95.17; AA vs. CC: OR 7.33, 95% CI 0.35-150.70). We also found a significant relationship between the MTHFR C1298C polymorphism and the incidence of hamartoma (p=0.019) (AA vs. AC: OR 2.12, 95% CI 0.662-6.809; p=0.203). Epilepsy incidence was high in subjects with MTHFR C677C. The MTHFR A1298C, C1298C, and C677C gene polymorphisms can be associated with a higher optic glioma, hamartoma, and epilepsy incidence, respectively, in patients diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1.

Listeria monocytogenes is an important cause of life-threatening bacteremia and meningoencephalitis in neonates, pregnant women, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. However, it is an uncommon cause of illness in immunocompetent children beyond the neonatal period. Ampicillin with or without an aminoglycoside remains the best treatment for listeriosis. Here, we report a rare case of Listeria meningitis and bacteremia in a 7-month-old immunocompetent girl, which was refractory to ampicillin plus gentamicin treatment and successfully treated by the addition of TMP/SMX.

Published: May 2017

This study aimed to investigate the effects of celiac disease (CD) on cardiac function in children by using conventional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). Forty-nine patients diagnosed with CD were enrolled into the study. Group 1 consisted of 26 (53%) patients who had recently been diagnosed and had not been on gluten-free diet whereas Group 2 consisted of 23 (47%) patients who had been on regular gluten-free diet for at least 10 months. 20 healthy children were enrolled into the study as the control group. The deceleration time (DT) and the left ventricle (LV) isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) were significantly shorter in Group 1 compared to Group 2 and the control group (p=0.002, p=0.015). Mitral valve E/E' ratio was significantly lower in Group 1 and 2 when compared to the control group (p < 0.001). The study demonstrated that evaluation of these parameters by using TDE could be beneficial in the early diagnosis of cardiac involvement in children with CD.

Published: May 2017

Mental health problems and parental anxiety in children with epilepsy were investigated. Parents of 83 children with epilepsy and 172 healthy children were asked to complete Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for their children and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for themselves. In those with epilepsy, 39.8% (n: 33) were girls, 60.2% (n: 50) were boys and their mean age was 9.34 ± 3.99 years. Control group was more successful in school (p < 0.001). Emotional problems score in children with epilepsy was higher than control group (p < 0.001). Case group's behavior problems and attention deficit hyperactivity scores were higher (p < 0.001, p=0.009 respectively). Prosocial behavior scores of the control group were significantly higher (p=0.004). State (p=0.001) and trait (p=0.001) anxiety levels of parents of children with epilepsy were higher. Children with epilepsy have more neuro-behavioral problems; and their parents have greater anxiety levels. Physicians should be in contact with children with epilepsy for the psychological health of the family besides seizure control.

Published: May 2017

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other disruptive behavior disorders in children with recurrent epistaxis (RE). Children aged between 6-11 years were enrolled according to presence (n=34) and absence (n=103) of RE. Turgay DSM-IV-Based Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavior Disorders Screening and Rating Scale was applied to parents. Moreover, Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present and Lifetime Version was performed. Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and ADHD were determined in 17.6% and 32.4% of patients, respectively. When psychiatric diagnoses between both groups were compared, statistically significant differences were found in terms of ADHD and ODD (p=0.028 and p=0.003). In children with RE, the frequency of ADHD and ODD are higher than children without RE. A referral to a child psychiatrist should be considered, if a child with RE also has symptoms of increased activity, inattention and/or body-injurious behaviors.
Fatal paraphenylenediamine poisoning due to black henna
Authors: Şık Güntülü , Çıtak Agop
Published: May 2017

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is an oxidative chemical allergen that can cause hypersensitivity reactions. PPD intoxication could cause severe systemic adverse effects like acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis and multiple organ failure. In this text we present a 9 year-old female patient who developed multiple organ failure and cardiac arrhythmia as a result of extensive application of PPD added to henna to the skin. Plasma exchange (PE) and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) were started. The patient died on day 4 after developing ventricular fibrillation that was resistant to antiarrhythmic treatment and defibrillation. In summary, the most commonly seen clinical signs in PPD intoxication are cervical, upper respiratory and muscle edema, intravascular hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, severe cardiac arrhythmias and acute renal failure. These symptoms would be suggestive of PPD poisoning.

We have conducted this study for the purposes of demonstrating the spectrum of mutations and of identifying their effects on the phenotype, with a particular focus on the clinical course, prognosis and response to treatment. A total of 25 patients from 20 families, who have been treated and followed up after being diagnosed with cystinosis. Nine patients were identified with mutations of homozygous c.451A > G, 7 patients with homozygous c.681G > A, 6 patients with homozygous c.834_842del, 2 patients with homozygous c.18_21delGACT and 1 patient with compound heterozygous for c.451A > G/ c.1015G > A. The c.834_842del mutation identified in six patients from four families has not been previously identified. Progression to renal failure occurred earlier in the patients identified with the new mutation, despite treatment. Larger patient series are required to demonstrate the genotypic properties of the patients with cystinosis and their relationship with the clinical course.

The aim of the present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of oxygen therapy via high flow nasal cannula in pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure. Patients who were admitted to pediatric intensive care unit and were administered high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy between January 2015 and January 2016 were enrolled. Arterial blood gas parameters, respiratory rates (RR), heart rates (HR), systolic, db > iastolic, and mean arterial pressures (SBP, DBP, MAP), dyspnea scores, fractional oxygen indices (FiO < sub > 2 < /sub > ), and oxygen saturations (SatO < sub > 2 < /sub > ) were recorded at baseline, 30 minutes, and 12 hours. The study enrolled a total of 50 patients of whom 24 (48%) were female and 26 (52%) were male. Statistically significant reductions occurred in mean HR and RR values at 30 minutes and 12 hours compared to those at 0 minute (p < 0.05). Significant increases were observed in SatO2 values at 30 minutes (p.0.001) and 12 hours (p:0.005) compared to SatO2 value at 0 minute (p < 0.05). Similarly, there occurred significant reductions in mean FiO < sub > 2 < /sub > values at 30 minutes and 12 hours compared to baseline (p < 0.05). Significant reductions occurred in mean dyspnea score at 30 minutes (p:0.001) and 12 hours (p:0.001) compared to that at 0 minute (p < 0.05). pH, PaCO < sub > 2 < /sub > , PaO < sub > 2 < /sub > , SBP, and DBP values at 0 minute, 30 minutes, and 12 hours were not significantly different from one another (p > 0.05). No significant correlations were found between treatment failure and age at admission; mean pediatric index of mortality (PIM II), pediatric risk of mortality (PRISM), pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD) and pediatric multiple organ dysfunction score (P-MODS); and HR, RR, SatO2, pH, PaCO2, PaO2, SBP, DBP, MAP, FiO2 at baseline (p > 0.05). Therapy was successful in 40 (80%) patients whereas there occurred a need for invasive ventilation in 10 (20%) patients. High flow nasal oxygen therapy can be used for patients with acute severe hypoxemic respiratory failure without concurrent hypercapnia when adequate equipment and monitorization tools exist.

Published: May 2017

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a group education program on asthma control for children with uncontrolled asthma. Patients were randomized to receive 1-hour group education program with their parents or usual care. Our primary outcome was the change in asthma control test (ACT) between baseline and month 3 and secondary outcomes were health care utilizations and self report of exacerbations of asthma symptoms and missed school days. Change of ACT between baseline and 1st month and 3rd month was not significant in education and usual care groups. Health care utilizations and self reported exacerbations in the study groups were similar while missed school days were significantly higher in usual care group. The results of the study suggest that group education may play a useful role in the management of children with uncontrolled asthma but it is not significantly effective when compared with usual care.

Published: May 2017

Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis (IGCM) is a rare cause of arrhythmia, heart failure and death in children. The etiology of IGCM is unknown. Endomyocardial biopsy and histological examination are essential for diagnosis. In our case, a one-month-old baby boy with no prior medical history died during breast-feeding. The gross autopsy and drug screen failed to disclose a cause of death. Hemotoxylen Eosin (H&E) stained cardiac tissue slides showed widespread and multifocal necrosis accompanied by mixed inflammatory infiltrate. Admixed with the infiltrate were fibroblastic proliferation and multinucleated giant cells in the absence of sarcoid like granuloma. Although myocarditis is usually thought to be a disease of older children, infants can also be affected. This entity can be the cause of some cases of sudden unexpected death in infancy.

A pályaválasztás, egyes társadalmi csoportok integrációs problémáinak megoldása, a leszakadó rétegek integrálódásának elősegítése, valamint a társadalmi mobilitás tágabban értelmezett kérdései a hazai közoktatási/köznevelési politika szempontjából is aktuálisak. Jelen írás a brit közoktatási rendszer ezzel kapcsolatos – általunk lényegesnek tartott – kérdéseit és a jellegzetesnek mondható megoldási koncepciókat igyekszik – a teljesség igénye nélkül – felvázolni. A brit oktatáspolitikában is évtizedek óta tartó, és napjainkban is folyamatosan jelen levő vita tárgyát képezi a közoktatás szerepének megítélése, feladatainak meghatározása egy megfelelőnek nyilvánítható mértékű társadalmi mobilitás feltételeinek megteremtése szempontjából. A jelenleg hatalmon lévő Konzervatívok és Liberális Demokraták alkotta koalíciós kormány is igyekszik hatékony lépéseket tenni annak érdekében, hogy mindenki – társadalmi és anyagi helyzettől függetlenül – azonos esélyeket kapjon az oktatásban. A cél egy olyan középréteg megteremtése, ahová a képesség és a kitartó, kemény munka árán azok is felküzdhetik magukat, akik alacsonyabb társadalmi osztályokból származnak. A nagyobb fokú társadalmi mobilitás megteremtéséhez a britek is az oktatást látják a legmegfelelőbb eszköznek.

Jelen tanulmány a BME mérnökképzésein tanító legjobb oktatók tanítással kapcsolatos nézeteit és tanítási módszereit mutatja be félig strukturált interjúk eredményei alapján. A vizsgálatban 26 oktató vett részt az egyetem nyolc karáról, kiválasztásuk a hallgatók értékelésein alapult. Az oktatókat pályaválasztásuk történetéről, oktatási céljaikról, oktatási módszereikről kérdeztük. Eredményeink szerint az oktatók többsége nem készült a tanári pályára és kevesen rendelkeznek tanári képesítéssel. A legjobb oktatók tanítással kapcsolatos koncepciói a tanulóközpontú/tanulásorientált kategóriával jellemezhetők (hallgatók motiválása, tananyag megértése, életszemlélet formálása, a tanulás élvezete). A tanárközpontú/tartalomorientált nézet is feltárható volt, az ismeretátadás fontosságának hangsúlyozása révén. A legjobb oktatókra jellemző a tanítás szeretete, a minőség képviselete a tanítás során, nyitottság az újra. A hallgatókkal való kapcsolatuk pedig a partnerséggel írható le. Az órákon kívül is kapcsolatban vannak a hallgatókkal (szakmai programok, közös kutató munka révén). Oktatási gyakorlatukban a hagyományos (táblára, krétával történő) oktatás mellett, az új technológiai lehetőségek alkalmazása is megjelenik. Mindazonáltal kevés oktató használja kizárólag a projektort az oktatás során. Fontosak az oktatók számára a hallgatóktól származó visszajelzések, jellemző rájuk az önreflexió. ***This study presents the conception of teaching and the teaching methods of the best university lecturers in the engineering programmes of BME, based on the results of semi structured interviews. 26 lecturers participated in the interviews from the eight faculties of the university, selected on the judgements of the students. Lecturers were interviewed about the history of their career choice, teaching goals and their teaching methods. According to the results most of the lecturers have not prepared for teaching profession and only a few of them have had degree in teaching. The best lecturers’ conception of teaching could be described by the student-centred /learning orientation category (motivating students, understanding of the curriculum, conceptual change, enjoy of learning). The conception of teacher-centred/ content-oriented was also revealed by emphasizing the importance of knowledge transmitting. The best lecturers are characterized by the love of teaching, quality teaching, openness to new information and their relationship with the students are described as a partnership. They also have connections with the students outside the classroom (across professional programmes, joint research work). In their teaching practices besides the traditional teaching (on the blackboard with chalk) the use of new technologies is also presented. Nevertheless, few lecturers use solely beamer during the teaching process. The feedbacks of the students are important for the university lecturers, and they are characterized by self-reflection.

A hosszú élet (longevity) perspektívái
Authors: Lovretity Zsigmond
Published: May 2017

A következő évtizedekben a világ népességének várható életkilátásai fokozatosan javulnak. Például az Egyesült Államokban demográfiai előrejelzések szerint a 60 éves kort elért népesség legalább 90 év megélésére számíthat. A demográfiai jellemzők markáns változása drámai változásokat, új szükségleteket és megközelítéseket jelez előre az úgynevezett aktív munkatevékenység utáni évekre (post career life). Ebben az írásban a hosszabb élet perspektíváinak bemutatásán túl, elsősorban a fejlett gazdaságokban, szervezetekben foglalkoztatott menedzserekre, vezetőkre irányítjuk figyelmünket, feltételezve, hogy az ő távozásuk biztosan jelentős hatást gyakorol korábbi szervezetük életére, technológiai, pénzügyi, gazdasági sikereire. Ez a munkavállalói réteg nagy valószínűséggel rendelkezik már megfelelő anyagi háttérrel ahhoz, hogy érdekeinek megfelelő, ésszerű döntést hozhat arról, mikor és milyen szempontok szerint válassza meg nyugdíjba vonulását és az azt követő időszak különböző aktív tevékenységeit *** The life expectancy of the world population is continuously improving. For example, according to demographic forecasts, in the United States, the population having reached the age of 60 can expect at least 90 years of life. The drastic changes in the demographic data prognosticate dramatic changes, new demands and approaches concerning the so-called post-career life. In this paper, in addition to introducing the perspectives of a longer life, we primarily focus on the managers and leaders employed in developed economies and organizations, supposing that their retirement will surely have a considerable impact on the life and the technological, financial and economic successes of their organizations. A number of the employees are probably in possession of a financial background allowing them to make a reasonable decision serving their interests on the time and aspects of retirement and the activities don in the subsequent period.

The impact of cultural capital on undergraduate students’ performances in Brazil
Authors: Ramos Marilia
Published: May 2017

The main goal of this study is to verify the effect of cultural capital on students’ performances through the student´s grade on ENADE (a specific test applied to students in the first year and last year in the undergraduate courses). The data set used is from the year of 2008 and involves 824.804 students. The standard test is applied each year. Along with the test a questionnaire is applied to identify students’ demographic characteristics as well as their families’ profile. The research question is: what is the impact of cultural capital on students’ performances in the ENADE test controlling for their demographic characteristics? The theoretical background is based on James Coleman (1997), Pierre Bourdieu (1982, 2007) and Basil Bernstein (1997). Among Brazilian scholars the study includes the ideas of Nelson Silva and Carlos Hasenbalg (2000) and Maria Ligia Barbosa (2009). The study model has as the dependent variable the students’ grades in the ENADE test and the cultural capital as the main independent variable along with the control variables. Descriptive analyses are used as well as regression models to obtain the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results show that there is significant association between levels of cultural capital and students’ performances in the ENADE test. Specifically, there is a significant and positive correlation between parents’ education, ownership of computer, access to the internet and newspaper reading with the performances in the ENADE test.

Therefore we need to create a supportive environment in which prominent scientists, excellent teachers want to work.A number of questions arise. There is a need for trained workers in higher education? If so, how can this be done?Many experts it is still not clear whether the higher education to teach in a specific profession, which can be learned and that the quality does not depend directly proportional to the competence of the instructor. The technical higher education in addition to serious competition from the labor market, a well-paid job with engineering. If we observe that the labor market positions of the workers are increasingly choosing to where their professional development, career support better, it becomes clear that this direction is necessary to open the universities.In this article is an Anglo-Saxon and one German universities analyzing organizational units I want to introduce you to follow these principles in the development of the teachers deal. The results of the empirical research is a good example of the tasks may intend to renew higher education institutions rethink and expand.
Various challenges of science communication in teaching generation Z: an urgent need for paradigm shift and embracing digital learning
Authors: Dániel Gergő Pintér
Published: May 2017

According to the thesis of this study adoption of the technological, social-psychological, moral and other changes surrounding us, tolerating and teaching each other are vital to successful coexistence of the different age-classes. In order to this – on one hand in our everyday life and expressly in pedagogical work – it is unavoidable to identify the main reasons establishing relations between the generations; i.e. what processes can be held liable for transformation of values and attitudes, while on the other hand it must be decided how to handle the challenges caused by the changes. This study approaches the characteristics of generation Z deviating from that of the former generation from science communication and educational aspects. It reviews the most important features of information society and the impact of technological development on world view, behaviour and discrepancy of the different age-classes. It attempts to identify those characteristics of transferring knowledge, consumption and use of media, which are definitive to the development of the relation to science of persons born after 1995, then it summarises the models of Public Understanding of Science relevant to generation Z. The second part of the study includes recommendation on the methodological framework of a progressive educational system, which is able to successfully serve the demands of the studied age-class, and can play role in forming the interest in science and preparedness of the digital generation.

Open Content Development Model (OCD)
Authors: Benedek András
Published: May 2017

The research group that, besides experienced and academic researchers, includes practitioners as well as students who are engaged in scientific student work and are attending their engineer and economist teacher evening courses while being present in school practice, was established in 2015 within the framework of the Department of Technical Education and the Teacher Training Centre of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) with the aim to implement a project focused on researching methods supporting learning, and initiated and financed by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS).  Relying on this specific base of researchers and practitioners, our project undertook to develop and introduce new procedures based on the experiences and analysis of the educational methods used by vocational teachers during their work. By presenting the research topic, this paper intends to introduce the process, in this case the open content development and the work done in order to create a new model of this, which allows the active participation of students in research and development as well as the connection of smaller researches into bigger research projects.pen Content Development Model (OCD)Open Content Development Model (OCD)
International experience of Hungarian school headmasters in Finnish continuing professional teacher training environment
Authors: Nagy-Czirok Lászlóné
Published: May 2017

In this paper we compare Finnish and Hungarian approaches and practices based our own experiences collected in frames of visiting the Finnish School of Vocational Teacher Education at Tampere University of Applied Sciences.We have studied the Finnish educational system and their teacher training methods from several aspects. It was found that the expectations in the Hungarian career model show certain similarities. The characteristics of the related paradigm shift in Finland has also been studied and considerations made for their application in Hungary. The important aspects found as worth considering were: research based planning, trust based approach, career path, open learning environment - which competences are needed for LLL paradigm change.The issue of trust should be highlighted in the national comparative context. In the Hungarian practice this term is not too frequently used. The Finnish society is characterized by high levels of trust. Teachers are also entrusted with considerable independence in the classroom. European innovation scoreboard shows that Hungary is a Moderate Innovator and Finland belongs to Innovation leaders. We have found a clear positive correlation between trust and innovation. The Year 2008 Social outcomes of education indicator included measures of self-reported health, volunteering, interpersonal trust and political efficacy, assessed in the Survey of the OECD Programme These four outcome measures are considered among the key indicators of individual and national well-being. Nowadays one may feel lack of trust between education stakeholders and teachers in Hungary which creates unreceptive environment for the professional development process. In consultations with the Finnish partners about the 21st Century Skills, the following items have been emphasized: Ways of thinking, Ways of working, Tools of working, Living in the world. This listing was completed with these paradigms: system thinking, from disciplinarity to multi disciplinarity, from local to global, from simplicity to complexity. It’s easy to identify these terms among the expectations toward teachers both in Finland and in Hungary. It was agreed that at the same time these changes support and develop the teachers’ competences needed for Lifelong learning. Each of these items can be found in the Hungarian practice as well, whilst not in all aspects with the same emphasis as in the Finnish context.

Steps in need of teachers’ tranformative professonial learning
Authors: Vidékiné Reményi Judit
Published: May 2017

The paper considers transformative learning within the context of teachers’ professional development as part of a formal teacher in-service training programmes. Hungarian teachers’ outdated teaching methods and more often than not old-fashioned classroom technologies and tools are not capable of providing quality education and training. Formal professional development programmes should shift from transmissive teaching to transformative teaching in order to improve student achievement by fundamentally changing teachers’ beliefs and attitudes to teaching. A model of a university-based teacher training programme aiming at teachers’ transformative learning is described.
Flipped, online and blended learning: digitalization in TAMK
Authors: Suhonen Sami
Published: May 2017

This paper describes the digitalization in education from teacher’s point of view. The emphasis is not on the administrative software nor on the learning management systems, but rather on little simple tools any teacher can start to use in her or his own teaching in small scale. The selection of tools and methods are based on their usage in Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK) and rely largely on this paper’s writer’s own experiences. As such, this paper is not intended to have full coverage of all possible tools and software, but rather offers some examples in the digital tools in education. Most of the tools are free for a single user or has minimal cost to the user as far as the student groups are not very large. Naturally, the tools and methods themselves are not the main issue – they have to be used and adapted and used in a pedagogically meaningful way.

A munkavállalói elkötelezettség növelésének hatása és lehetőségei
Authors: Szabó Anna
Published: May 2017

Az elkötelezettség divatos fogalom, amelyet azonban nagyon sokféleképp értelmeznek, és hatásairól, alakíthatóságáról sokféle, gyakran leegyszerűsítő vagy éppen illúziókat keltő nézet van forgalomban. A szerző célja, hogy áttekintse, rendszerezze az elkötelezettség fogalmáról, hatásairól, alakíthatóságáról kialakult nézeteket, külön kitérve a  juttatások szerepére. Ennek érdekében egyrészt bemutatja a munkavállalói elkötelezettség fogalmát, alátámasztva, hogy miért is hasznos az elkötelezettség a dolgozók és a vállalatok számára. Másrészt a munkavállalói elkötelezettség kialakulását boncolgatja, azonosítva, hogy mik azok az úgy nevezett mozgatórugók, amik az elkötelezettség keletkezésében szerepet játszanak, melyek a munkavállalók számára a legfontosabb elkötelezettségnövelő tényezők, illetőleg milyen szempontokat érdemes a vállalatoknak figyelembe venni, mielőtt az elkötelezettség erősítésének érdekében akciókat terveznének vagy hajtanának végre. A szerző továbbá  összeállított egy olyan irodalomjegyzéket, amely segítséget jelenthet a téma további kutatására vállalkozók számára a fogalmi sokszínűségben való eligazodáshoz.*Effects and possibilities of improving employees’ commitmentCommitment is a popular word which is, however, understood in many different ways, and there are many views circulating that are simplifying or induce illusions concerning its effects and pliability. The author aims to survey and systematize the views having evolved on the concept, effects and pliability of commitment, paying special attention to benefits. In order to do so, she introduces the notion of employees’ commitment, underpinning why commitment is advantageous to both the employees and the company. Then she analyses the evolution of employees’ commitment by identifying the motives that play a role in the progression of commitment, the factors most improving employees’ commitment and the points that are worth being taken into consideration by companies before planning and implementing actions aimed at strengthening employees’ commitment. The author has also compiled a bibliography offering help of orientation for those wishing to make further research in the topic.

A munkaerőpiac változó igényeihez alkalmazkodó szakképzés
Authors: Kissné Szigetvári Barbara
Published: May 2017

Tanulmányomban saját iskolám, a Borsod Abaúj Zemplén megye székhelyén található vendéglátásra és kereskedelemre specializálódott középiskola szemszögéből vizsgálom a nálunk folyó szakképzés minőségét, képzéseinkben részt vevő tanulóink munkaerőpiaci esélyeit, illetve a várható változásokhoz fűzött reményeinket. Felméréseim alapján arra a következtetésre jutottam, hogy a duális képzés alkalmazásával fel tudunk zárkózni, majd a későbbiekben lépést tartani az Európai Unió tagországaiban támasztott szakképzési követelményekkel.

‘The look that gropes the objects’: Derrida's Photographs
Authors: Wolfreys Julian
Published: May 2017

In his introduction to Copy-Archive-Signature: A Conversation on Photography published in 2009, Gerhard Richter observes that while photography is concerned, ‘like deconstruction’, with ‘questions of presentation, translation, techné, substitution, deferral, dissemination, repetition, iteration, memory, inscription, death, and mourning’, relatively little attention has been given to those texts of Derrida's that specifically address photography and the work and thought of the photograph: ‘Aletheia’, Rights of Inspection, Athens, Remains, to name the most obvious. Things have changed a little since 2009, but it remains the case that photography, with its strange logic and uncanny temporalities, situates itself in Derrida's publications as, possibly, the most performative of tropes in Derrida's writing. As Richter argues, it is available to our view as a ‘metalanguage’, through which all other questions are brought into focus. This paper therefore focuses on the photograph: the photograph in Derrida's writings and photographs of Derrida.
Earthquakes: Deconstructing Humanitarianism
Authors: Oliver Kelly
Published: May 2017

In this paper I develop a deconstructive analysis of the relationship between humanitarian aid and state sovereignty. First, I sketch Derrida's analysis of the Christian roots of contemporary concepts of tolerance, forgiveness, and hospitality. Second, I trace the history and etymology of the word ‘humanitarian’ to reveal its Christian heritage; and argue that ‘humanitarian’ is bound to the violence of Christ's crucifixion, on the one hand, and to the sovereignty of God, on the other. Third, I set out three phases in the politics of contemporary humanitarian aid in relation to an increasing concern for humanitarian warfare. I conclude that international humanitarian aid and humanitarian warfare are bound together through an autoimmune logic that simultaneously challenges and shores up state sovereignty. State sovereignty creates ‘refugees’, which necessitates humanitarian aid organizations to step in and literally fill the space between state borders, a space that has become a kind of ‘no-man's land’ beyond citizenship. Police and military respond to refugee camps by patrolling them to shore up national borders and state sovereignty. Non-governmental humanitarian aid organizations, supposedly operating outside of nation states, become a necessary supplement to state sovereignty.
Colonialism and the Highland Clearances
Authors: Mackinnon Iain
Published: May 2017

This article employs a new approach to studying internal colonialism in northern Scotland during the 18th and 19th centuries. A common approach to examining internal colonial situations within modern state territories is to compare characteristics of the internal colonial situation with attested attributes of external colonial relations. Although this article does not reject the comparative approach, it seeks to avoid criticisms that this approach can be misleading by demonstrating that promoters and managers of projects involving land use change, territorial dispossession and industrial development in the late modern Gàidhealtachd consistently conceived of their work as projects of colonization. It further argues that the new social, cultural and political structures these projects imposed on the area's indigenous population correspond to those found in other colonial situations, and that racist and racialist attitudes towards Gaels of the time are typical of those in colonial situations during the period. The article concludes that the late modern Gàidhealtachd has been a site of internal colonization where the relationship of domination between colonizer and colonized is complex, longstanding and occurring within the imperial state. In doing so it demonstrates that the history and present of the Gaels of Scotland belongs within the ambit of an emerging indigenous research paradigm.
