No full textEn este artículo se estudia el cuaderno de al-Šayj Muhammad 'Ayyād al-
Tantāwī (1810-1861) que emigró a San Petersburgo en 1840 para enseñar a los futuros
orientalistas rusos la lengua árabe en sus dos registros, el clásico y el coloquial de El Cairo;
murió en 1861 en esta ciudad rusa. El cuaderno inédito, que se conserva en la Universidad
de San Petersburgo, se publica en su integridad como anexo a este artículo. Su contenido
se clasifica en cinco categorías: 4 anécdotas lingüísticas, 4 sobre cadíes, árbitros y
gobernadores, 3 con adivinanzas lingüísticas, 2 de contenido mágico y 10 escritas por el
autor alrededor de un refrán. Se resume cada una y se resaltan sus particularidades lingüísticas
y folclóricas como parte del legado literario popular árabe. Se concluye que el cuaderno
forma parte del patrimonio cultural popular árabe y egipcio y su contenido es un material
docente de primer orden para las aulas y para el estudio de la variedad lingüística de
Egipto en el siglo XIX.This paper analyses the notebook written by hand by al-Šay j Muhammad 'Ayyād al-Tantāwī when he emigrated to Saint Petersburg in 1840 to teach classical and
dialectal Arabic to the future Russian Orientalists. He would die there in 1861. The notebook,
part of the collection held by Saint Petersburg University, is being edited and published
for the first time. It consists of a series of anecdotes that can be divided into five cat egories:
linguistic anecdotes (4), anecdotes about cadis, arbiters and governors (4), anecdotes
with linguistic riddles (3), anecdotes about magic events (2), anecdotes written by
the author about popular sayings and verses (10). The paper summarizes each anecdote
and highlights its linguistic and folkloric content as part of the Arabic literary legacy. It
concludes that the notebook forms part of Arabic and Egyptian popular cultural heritage
and contains excellent material to be taught in universities and studied by researchers who
wish to learn more about Egyptian linguistic variety in the nineteenth century

No full textA hercegnő utolsó napjainak igaz történetét soha nem mondta el senki. E könyv erre tesz kísérletet. Martyn Gregory újságíró, médiaszemélyiség a franciaországi tanuk, rendőrségi és bírósági jegyzőkönyvek és vizsgálatok alapján, a baleset utáni nyomozás eredményeire támaszkodva próbálja objektíven rekonstruálni, mi is történhetett valójában az utolsó napokban, órákban. A szerző lépésről lépésre bizonyítja be, hogy Dodi apjának összeesküvés-elmélete hamis. A Londonban élő, egyiptomi milliárdos csak azért állítja, hogy a fia és Diana gyilkosság áldozata lett, hogy ezzel elterelje a gyanút saját biztonsági rendszerének hiányosságairól. A könyvből kiderül, hogy a balesetet egyértelműen az okozta, hogy a Fayed család nem biztosított kellő védelmet a hercegnő számára akkor, amikor vendégül látta, s hogy Mohamed egyik sofőrjének igenis köze van a hercegnő és Dodi halálához.

The impact of ionizing radiation compared to drug-induced immunological changes
No full textIonizing radiation (IR) activates several signaling pathways. This study shows the impact of acute low-dose IR on crucial cytokines involved in cell-mediated immunity. The immunomodulatory effects of 0.25 and 0.5 Gray (Gy) gamma rays and standard immunomodulatory drugs (Cyclophosphamide) on blood counts and significant pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in various inflammatory conditions were tested in 20 rats. Examine the effect of acute low doses on critical cytokines, which could be utilized as an alternative to current immunosuppressive drugs. One day post-irradiation, serum levels of Interferon-gamma (INF-γ), Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, and Interleukin-2/ 1-beta were measured. 0.25 Gy exposure did not affect the detected cytokines or blood cell count compared to the non-irradiated group. 0.5 Gy, on the other hand, raises the majority of the immunologically examined cytokines except for INF-γ. Except for INF-γ, Cyclophosphamide reduces all of the cytokines examined. As a result, low-dose IR has a less negative influence on essential inflammatory cytokines, permitting its use. More research is needed to determine how low amounts could be used in different immunological disorders.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

VERTICAL FITTING OF GPS MEASUREMENTS
No full textThe methodological analysis of the author was motivated the fact that his team could
apply its GPS techniques directly by using an existing geoid map (GAZSÓ, TARASZOVA,
1984). Regarding the Hungarian particularities, he analysed the sensitivity of the de-
termination of elevations above sea level by applying GPS methods to the knowledge of
geoid heights. He pointed out the possibility that a 7-parameter transformation of spatial
coordinates can provide automatically a linear elevation fitting. To make a global approx-
imation to the geoid in Hungary, he derived a third-degree formula with two variables by
means of Chebyshev approximation
The collection of proverbs of al-Shaykh al-Tantawi, Master of Orientalists in San Petersburg, and his folk notes

de cuentos cortos; tras editarlo y estudiarlo, se concluye que nueve de estos cuentos
fueron creados por el autor para explicar siete refranes y dos grupos de versos populares.
En este artículo, se estudia este material con sus historietas y se recalcan las aportaciones
del autor en lingüística y en el estudio del folclore.Al-Shayj Muḥammad ‘Ayyād al-Ṭanṭāwī (1810-1861), migrated to St. Petersburg
in 1840 to teach to the future Russian Orientalists the Arabic language in its two registers,
the classical and the Cairene varieties. Among his legacy, there is a handwritten
notebook containing short stories. By editing and studying this notebook, one concludes
that nine of these short stories were created by the author to explain seven proverbs and
two groups of popular verses. These sayings and verses with the accompanying short stories
are analyzed, as well as the author’s contribution in linguistics and folklore studies

Revealing Laughter: Laughter, Pleasure, and Gender in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel
No full textThis study investigates the place of women’s laughter as an expression of pleasure in the nineteenth-century British novel and analyzes the intricate social dynamics that define and regulate female laughter in nineteenth-century British society by examining the works of three authors of the period: Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and Charles Dickens. Laughter has been historically interpreted and restricted as a social act that reveals one’s nature, virtue, and social standing, and, combined with the gender norms of the nineteenth century that deny women’s right to individual pleasure, the discourses on laughter contributed to limit women’s means to express, communicate, and thus, fully enjoy their pleasure. This study restores laughter’s role as an everyday expression and, especially, as a site of pleasure, which has been neglected in the previous studies of laughter focusing on its role in comedy and humor, and I argue that the way laughter is read, confined, and controlled in a patriarchal society crucially affects the individual woman’s seeking of happiness in the nineteenth-century novel. Austen, Brontë, and Dickens all show how the complexity and individuality of female laughter are being constantly disregarded and dismissed in a society that only finds few, fixed meanings from women’s laughter, and by doing so, these authors suggest the difficulty of having one’s own laugh for women.
Austen’s troublemaking laughing women, Brontë’s almost laughless and socially marginalized women, and Dickens’ laughing women who are not allowed to grow or survive reveal each author’s different perspective on the contemporary gender norms, and this study explores how far each author moves away from the dominant, restrictive views of laughter through their representations of alternative laughs of women
