    Hogyan emlékeztek őseink a múltjukra, hogyan vélekedtek jelenükről, mely mozzanatokat tartották említésre, megörökítésre méltónak? És mit tudott, mit hitt rólunk Európa, mennyire tartotta a magáénak a magyarok ügyét? Erről szól ez a kötet, amely régi történetírásunk eddig csak latinul hozzáférhető alkotásait közli magyar fordításban. A második kötet tartalmából: Donato Acciaiuolo: Gyászbeszéd János vajda, a dicső férfiú felett (1456); Melchior Soiter: Frigyes rajnai palotagróf pannóniai háborúja Szolejmán, a törökök kényura ellen (1538); Wolfgang Lazius: A törökök ellen 1556-ban Pannóniában, Babócsánál és Szigetnél végrehajtott tettek elbeszélése (1556); Oláh Miklós: Korának rövid krónikája (1558); #Knauz-krónika# (Zágrábi krónika 1556 körül); Siegler Mihály: A magyarok, az erdélyiek és a szomszédos tartományok történetének kronológiája (1563); Gregoriancz Pál: A magyar történelem történeti-földrajzi kivonata (1566); Zermegh János: Emlékirat a Ferdinánd és János, Magyarország királyai között történt dolgokról (1566 után)

Science Advances, 6(44), (2020): eabd0288, doi:10.1126/sciadv.abd0288.Plastic waste affects environmental quality and ecosystem health. In 2010, an estimated 5 to 13 million metric tons (Mt) of plastic waste entered the ocean from both developing countries with insufficient solid waste infrastructure and high-income countries with very high waste generation. We demonstrate that, in 2016, the United States generated the largest amount of plastic waste of any country in the world (42.0 Mt). Between 0.14 and 0.41 Mt of this waste was illegally dumped in the United States, and 0.15 to 0.99 Mt was inadequately managed in countries that imported materials collected in the United States for recycling. Accounting for these contributions, the amount of plastic waste generated in the United States estimated to enter the coastal environment in 2016 was up to five times larger than that estimated for 2010, rendering the United States’ contribution among the highest in the world.This work was funded by Ocean Conservancy through support from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations

    Author Institution: The Perkin-Elmer CorporationA Raman spectrometer has been constructed incorporating a continuous helium-neon gas laser source (6328A˚)(6328 \AA), a multiple traversal sample cell located outside the laser, a double-pass grating monochromator and a photomultiplier detector. The experimental arrangement will be described with emphasis on the special design considerations involved in using a laser as a Raman source. Spectra will be shown to illustrate the performance obtained
