Sztereotipikus látásmód Hollandia és Magyaroszág irodalmában - Hans Warren és Kibédi Varga Áron művei alapján végzett kutatás
No full textSzakdolgozatom a sztereotipikus írásmódot mutatja be a holland és magyar irodalomban, a holland Hans Warren és a magyar Kibédi Varga Áron munkáit vizsgálva. Arra voltam kiváncsi, hogy a holland művész mennyire tekint verseiben sztereotipikusan Magyarországra; akarja-e jobban megismerni a népet, a kultúrát, vagy sem? Illetve ugyanezt vizsgáltam a magyar Kibédi Varga Áronnál, aki Hollandiáról is írt krónikáiban.BKGermanisztika - néderlandisztikaBSc/B

Redescription. Xenophysa poecilogramma is the largest species of the genus (length of forewing 14–18 mm, expanse 30–39 mm) with rather contrasting colouration. Body and forewings light brownish grey, irrorated. Collar and tegulae rounded with light, ivory-coloured scales. Forewings extremely elongate, acute apically. Maculation whitish with dark grey intermaculation, reniform macula filled with grey. Orbicular spot narrow quadrangular, whitish, nearly without darker scales. with well-marked dark brownish-grey arrowheads on the inner margin of the subterminal line. Hind wings light fuscous grey. Sexes are similar (Plate 4, Figs. 21–22). Xenophysa poecilogramma shows the most external similarity with X. pseudopoecila sp. n. described below. The most important differential external characters of X. poecilogramma are: the extremely narrow, oblique quadrangular orbicular spot, and the nearly unicolorous, only basally lighter hind wing (X. pseudopoecila has a more rounded orbicular spot with greyish filling and lighter submarginal stripe on the hind wings, see below). Male genitalia: characterised by the thick uncus with a rather short, rounded bilateral hook, with very short bilateral extensions at base of uncus and with small, rounded lobes of tegumen. Juxta broad, rhombic with a sclerotised dorsal extension. Valva with dentate dorsal extension, short digitus and spiny pseudopollex. Aedeagus slender, very long, with moderately bulbous ampulla; vesica with huge subbasal diverticulum (Plate 8, Figs. 41 a, b; 42 a, b). Female genitalia: generally heavily sclerotised with deep and narrow V-shaped incision of antrum, bilateral arms of antrum firmly attached with a heavily sclerotised “knob” to the sclerotised ring of the 9 th abdominal segment; ductus bursae relatively long and heavily sclerotised with a transversal suture, bursa small, elliptic, without signa. Papillae anales weakly sclerotised, triangular with fine, relatively short setae (Plate 13, Figs 58–59).Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, 2011, Revision of the genus Xenophysa Boursin, 1969 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3094 on page 8, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27908

Xenophysa pseudopoecila belongs to the larger species of the genus. Length of forewing 14–17 mm, expanse 30–36 mm, sexes similar. Head dark brownish grey, frons and apex of palpi with whitish-grey hairs. Antennae long, extending the 4 / 5 of length of forewings, bipectinate and ciliate (male), filiform and ciliate (female). Collar and tegulae dark brownish grey with whitish grey margin, abdomen dark grey, with ochreous and whitish grey hairs. Forewings elongate triangular, acute apically; ground colour brownish grey without reddish or chestnut brown hue, irrorated with whitish-grey scales, mostly at costa. Maculation whitish grey with darker grey filling, orbicular spot elliptic, often slightly curved; reniform bilobate; orbicular and reniform spots interconnected. Claviform spot short, elliptic. Transverse lines faint, submarginal stripe whitish, with dark blackish-grey arrowheads on the inner side. Inner part of cilia nearly whitish, with broad dark medial stripe. Hindwings basally lighter, marginally darker grey but with a lighter “wash” subterminally. Forewing apically more acute and also the colouration of X. pseudopoecila is much more greyish, contrasting and irrorated than of the other two species of this species group. Thus, it resembles much more to the not closely related X. poecilogramma, but it can be clearly distinguished by the darker grey filling and more elliptic form of the orbicular spot, by the less oblique and quadrangular reniform spot and by the light grey “wash” at the subterminal field of the hind wings. Male antenna also somewhat shorter and more bipectinate than in X. poecilogramma (Plate 5, Figs. 23–24). Male genitalia: Uncus strong, anchor-shaped with acute bilateral hooks apically, and with cross-like, rounded (not quadrangular) extensions basally. Juxta pentagonal, apically more sclerotised than in closely related species. Valva more elongate with large triangular, with a single, acute costal extension and with elongate elliptic digitus. Aedeagus with a strong ventral knot. Vesica without subbasal bladder but with a very large, extended and recurved diverticulum (Plate 10, Figs. 43 a, b; 44 a, b; 45 a, b). Female genitalia: Papillae anales triangular with fine and long hairs. Antrum with broad and not very deep U-shaped incision and with moderately sclerotised bilateral arms (less sclerotised than in both closely related species). Ductus bursae short and broad, corpus bursae globular, without signa. Appendix bursae recurved, broad (Plate 14, Figs 60–61). Taxonomic notes. X. pseudopoecila shows typical differences compared to the closely related species also in both sexes. Males can be mostly differentiated by the acute costal extension and females by the very broad Ushaped incision of antrum. The new species was already figured by Kozhantshikov (1937: 225, Fig. 81, male genitalia, Naryn) and Boursin (Entomops 15: 222, male genitalia, Samarkand) and also by Varga (1985: 30, Fig. 4 c and Plate 1, Fig. 1) as X. junctimacula Christoph. Biological notes. This species has a relatively large range of distribution from Uzbekistan (“Samarkand”, probably the mountains near the town) through Kirghisia (parts of W Tien-Shan, Alai Mts) and Tadjikistan (Pamirs) to NE Afghanistan and Pakistan (Hindukush Mts.). It often co-occurs with X. agnostica (e.g., Alai Mts, Pamirs), with X. naumanni and X. poecilogramma (E. part of Hindukush).Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, 2011, Revision of the genus Xenophysa Boursin, 1969 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3094 on pages 27-28, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27908
Xenophysa argyrogramma Varga 1985
No full textXenophysa argyrogramma Varga, 1985 Xenophysa argyrogramma Varga, 1985, Zeitschrift der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Entomologen 37 (1–2): 28. Type material. Holotype: male, Afghanistan, Dasht-i-Nawar, NW of Ghazni, 3000 m, 8.– 10. VI. 1965, leg. Kasy & Vartian (coll. Vartian, NHMW). Paratypes: 8 3 from the same locality and data (6 3 coll. Vartian, NHMW, 2 3 coll. Varga), 2 3 Afghanistan, Dasht-i-Nawar pass, 6.IX. 1963, 3150 m, coll. Vartian, NHMW; 1 Ƥ Afghanistan, Hazaradjat, Koh-i-Baba, Panjao env., 3500 m, 22.– 26.VI. 1961, leg. Ebert (coll. ZSM). Genital slides: 3 Va rga 1425, 2430, 2431, 2435, Ƥ Ronkay 1235. Taxonomic notes. X. argyrogramma is a relatively small species, smaller in average than the sympatrically occurring X. cacumena afghanorea (expanse: 29–33 mm, length of forewings 13 –14.5 mm). Male antennae shortly pectinate and ciliate, but more strongly than in the closely related X. cacumena afghanorea; in female shortly ciliate. Colouration relatively simple, smoky greyish-brown, with whitish-grey collar and silvery whitish-grey maculation (name). Reniform and orbicular spots connected; orbicular and claviform macules usually silvery grey. Hind wings relatively unicolorous pale brownish-grey. The single female is similar to the darker and more unicolorous male specimens (Plate 3, Figs. 13–14). Xenophysa argyrogramma is externally mostly similar to X. junctimacula but essentially smaller, and the maculation is finer and more shiny, silvery whitish-grey. Males can also be easily distinguished from the sympatrically occurring X. cacumena afghanorea by the stronger pectinated antennae and also by the silvery whitish-grey maculation. The male genitalia is most similar to X. junctimacula but generally more graceful, costal extension of valva narrower with a simple spine, the apico-lateral pseudo-pollex reduced. Juxta with smaller dorsal extension. Aedeagus shorter and less arcuate (Plate 7, Figs 35 a, b). Female genitalia with rounder papillae anales, with a deep and narrow V-shaped incision and shorter and more symmetrical lateral arms of the antrum than in X. junctimacula (Plate 11, Fig. 52). Biological notes. The habitat of this species is a typical high mountain semi-desert with thorny cushion vegetation (verbal comm. of Ms. Eva Vartian). It is quite curious that two male paratypes were also captured in early September which is an unusual flying period for a Xenophysa species.Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, 2011, Revision of the genus Xenophysa Boursin, 1969 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3094 on page 6, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27908

Xenophysa junctimacula huberi has slighly lighter, more ochreous-brownish colouration than the typical X. junctimacula (Plate 1, Figs 5–6). However, the genitalia proved to be practically identical with that of X. j. junctimacula with some insignificant differences. In the male genitalia of X. junctimacula huberi: uncus somewhat thicker and shorter, apical lateral spine slightly stronger than in X. j. junctimacula and the costal process of valva shows two nearly equal “humps” (Plate 6, Figs 33 a, b; 34 a, b). All other typical characters of both taxa are completely similar, including the female genitalia. Therefore, despite the external differences, I here relegate X. huberi to subspecific rank. Biological notes. X. junctimacula huberi is only known from the type series and a few additional specimens (coll. Thöny, HNHM) collected in the high mountains of the southeastern edge of Turkey (Kurdestan, Mengi Dagi, Güseldere pass). Its distribution, probably extends also into the adjacent parts of Iran and Iraq (Kurdestan). Judging from the few available data, X. junctimacula (incl. X. junctimacula huberi) seems to be more localised and restricted to high altitudes than the closely related and partly sympatric X. cacumena (see: below).Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, 2011, Revision of the genus Xenophysa Boursin, 1969 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3094 on page 4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27908

Redescription. A female specimen was selected as the holotype of X. agnostica because this species was often misinterpreted as X. junctimacula (see above the labels on several museum specimens) and the holotype of the latter species (which is the typical species of the genus) is also a female. This species is represented in most large collections by numerous specimens, and it can be easily recognised by the following characteristics. Sexes similar, expanse 31 –36.5 mm. Head dark greyish brown, palpi somewhat lighter. Antennae very long, reaching about 4 / 5 length of forewings; shortly bipectinate and ciliated (male) or filiform, finely ciliated (female). Thorax dark greyish brown, collar and tegulae blackish brown with light ochreous grey margin. Abdomen light greyish brown. Forewings elongate triangular, acute apically, with dark greyish-brown colouration and with a short blackish stripe basally, with whitish-grey irroration along the costa, at the basal and marginal field. Maculation whitish-grey, reniform spot with greyish filling and connected with the orbicular spot by a double whitish line. Orbicular spot oblique, small, quadrangular; claviform short. Intermaculation blackish-brown. Transversal lines obsolete, submarginal line whitish grey with faint dark brown arrowheads on the inner side. Light brown cilia subdivided with a dark brown line. Hindwing fuscous grey, lighter basally, with whitish-fuscous cilia (Plate 5, Figs 25–26). Male genitalia: Uncus strong, anchor-shaped with bilateral hooks terminally and cross-like extensions basally. Lateral lobes of tegumen large, elliptical, spinulose. Juxta broad, pentagonal. Valva with strongly dentate costal extension and elliptical digitus. Aedeagus relatively short and thick, with a characteristic knot on ventral side. Vesica with a subbasal bladder and huge, recurved subbasal diverticulum (Plate 10, Figs 46 a, b; 47 a, b). Female genitalia: Papillae anales triangular, weakly sclerotised. Antrum with broad U-shaped incision and with relatively short, nearly symmetric lateral arms, ductus bursae short. Bursa short, globular, without signa, appendix recurved, relatively narrow and short (Plate 14, Figs 62–63, 65). Taxonomic notes. Xenophysa agnostica is most closely related to the next species, X. naumanni Varga, 1989. The most important differences are given in the redescription of the latter species. Biological notes. Xenophysa agnostica seems to be the second most widely distributed species in the genus. We have many records from the high mountains of Central Asia, mostly from the Tien-Shan range, but also from the Alai and Transalai mountains, on both the Tadjik and Afghanian sides of the Hissaro-Darwaz system (see: Anzob-Pass and env. Kwahan), the Pamirs (Vanchsky and Shugnan ranges, Wakhan valley), and Badakhshan (“Sarakanda-Gebirge” = Koh-e-Shakaraw, see Bender & Naumann 1980); there are no records from the Hindukush range where it seems to be replaced by the next species.Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, 2011, Revision of the genus Xenophysa Boursin, 1969 (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 1-29 in Zootaxa 3094 on pages 10-11, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27908
New computational paradigms in solving fault detection and isolation problems
No full textSeveral fault detection and isolation problems are formulated for linear time-invariant systems with additive faults and general existence conditions of their solutions are given. An overview of recently developed computational methods for the synthesis of fault detection filters is presented for all formulated problems. Two remarkable computational paradigms emerged in these developments, which are instrumental in developing generally applicable,
numerically reliable and computationally efficient synthesis
methods. The first paradigm is the use of integrated
synthesis algorithms, where the resulting fault detection filters
are determined by successive updating of partial syntheses
addressing specific requirements. The second
paradigm is the use of the nullspace method as a first synthesis
step to reduce all synthesis problems to a simple standard form which allows to easily check solvability conditions and address least
order synthesis problems

Diagnosis – Ctenoceratoda mallopyga is on average the largest and the most colourful member of the C. lupa -group (wingspan 43–51 mm) having broad forewing and robust body. Ground colour of body and forewings variably dark whitish-grey, the lighter parts have some bluish shade while the darker parts of the thorax and the forewing are covered with darker graphite-grey scales. The forewing pattern is rather similar throughout the members of the lupa -group but the colouration is not brownish or ochreous as in the closely related C. contempta (Fig. 20), C. lupa (Fig. 21) and C. septemlacustris (Fig. 22) but more bluish or (in worn specimens) slate-grey. The basal part of reniform stigma is more prominently marked with blackish scales than in the related taxa while the claviform stigma is longer and stronger defined with blackish. The crosslines are reduced; the postmedial line is distinctly marked with black arrowheads. Hindwings light grey with darker terminal band. The male genitalia (Figs 49, 50) are basically similar to those of the related species, but the “head” of the cucullus is relatively larger than in C. contempta, C. septemlacustris and C. lupa (Figs 51–56) and the ampulla is longer and not acute as in the three allied taxa but slightly curved and obtuse terminally. Distribution and bionomics. The new species occurs in the southern Pamirs (Wakhan valley), the eastern Hindukush (east of the Shandur pass), the Karakoram Mts (type locality) and the western Himalayas. It inhabits the medium-high and higher altitudes (between 2000–2800 m), the moths are local but rather frequent in their habitats.Published as part of Varga, Zoltán, Gyulai, Péter, Ronkay, Gábor & Ronkay, László, 2018, Review Of The Species Groups Of The Genus Ctenoceratoda Varga, 1992 With Description Of Four New Species And A New Subspecies (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), pp. 51-74 in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 64 (1) on pages 64-69, DOI: 10.17109/AZH.64.1.51.2018, http://zenodo.org/record/573463
Das Gedächtnis als epistemische Tugend — Die Anwendung von Mnemotechniken beim Lernen arbiträrer Kategorien in der Fremdsprache Deutsch
No full textDiplomsko delo obravnava (možno) uporabo mnemotehnik pri učenju arbitrarnih kategorij v nemščini kot tujem jeziku. Osrednji cilj je s stališča nevrodidaktike opozoriti na učinkovitost mnemotehnik in s stališča vrlinske epistemologije upravičiti spominska prepričanja na podlagi tega, kako jih ohranjamo v spominu. V teoretičnem delu je umetnost pomnjenja opisana kot čustveno obarvana strategija organiziranja spominskih vtisov v okviru asociativnega učenja, spomin opredeljen kot epistemska vrlina ter mnemotehnike kot metode pomnjenja, ki upravičujejo ohranjanje prepričanj in krepijo spomin. Sekundarni cilj je na podlagi učbeniškega gradiva – z eksemplarično analizo izbranega priročnika in učbenika – ugotoviti, v kolikšni meri so pri učenju arbitrarnih kategorij mnemotehnike zastopane (barvno kodiranje, mentalne slike, metoda lokacije in domišljijske zgodbe). Ob analizi se poskuša s sugestijami, kako tematizirati mnemotehnike, dopolniti komunikacijske vrzeli, ki nastopijo zaradi diskretnega pristopa k mnemotehnikam. Če mnemotehnike pozitivno učinkujejo na učenje, potem bi jih bilo potrebno tematizirati tudi v izobraževalnem procesu učiteljev in učencev.Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt den (möglichen) Einsatz von Mnemotechniken beim Lernen arbiträrer Lerninhalte in der Fremdsprache Deutsch. Das zentrale Ziel ist es aus neurodidaktischer Sicht auf die Effizienz von Mnemotechniken aufgrund der erhöhten Lernleistung hinzuweisen und aus epistemologischer Sicht Überzeugungen aus unserem Erinnerungsvermögen anhand der Weise, wie sie im Gedächtnis abgespeichert werden zu rechtfertigen. Im theoretischen Teil wird die Gedächtniskunst als emotional geladene Strategie der Organisierung von Gedächtniseindrücken im Rahmen des assoziativen Lernens und das Gedächtnis als epistemische Tugend beschrieben. Mnemotechniken werden als Gedächtnismethoden verstanden, die das Erinnerungsvermögen stärken und somit die Erhaltung von Überzeugungen rechtfertigen. Das sekundäre Ziel ist es anhand einer exemplarischen Lehrwerkanalyse darauf einzugehen, wie stark Mnemotechniken beim Lernen arbiträrer Kategorien vertreten sind (Farbkodierung, mentale Gedächtnisbilder, die Loci-Technik und Kurzgeschichten). Es werden Vorschläge gemacht, wie die durch diskrete Ansätze entstandenen Kommunikationslücken zu füllen sind. Dabei wird die Herangehensweise zum Deutschlernen mit Mnemotechniken mit der in einem unkonventionellen Lehrwerk verglichen. Wenn sich Mnemotechniken positiv auf das Lernen auswirken, dann sollten sie im Bildungsprozess der Lehr- und Lernenden stärker thematisiert werden
