No full textIt has been remarked that in Nepal as in India there are no artists, only art. To this it may be added there were no arts without the iconic. That is, only art freed from the ego trip of creator/creation was worthy of consecration the therefore veneration. However on these selfless, inherently anonymous works of art from the subcontinent, names sometimes occur. For example, on several Gupta sculptures the name of the Mathuran artist Dina is inscribed; but this is rare, more often we would find the name of a patron or dynasty. In this article, the author hopes to shed light on a single..
Szövegértési kompetencia-mérés a magyar nyelven tanuló kárpátaljai magyar egyetemisták és főiskolások körében
No full textA 2017-es ukrajnai oktatási kerettörvény (UT 2017) elfogadása óta sokat
hallhattunk, olvashattunk arról, hogy a jogszabály 7. cikke visszaszorítja a magyar
nyelven folyó oktatást Kárpátalján (Fedinec–Csernicskó 2017, Brenzovics és mtsai
2020). Korábban arról is sok szó esett, hogy a kárpátaljai magyar szülők egy része az
ukrajnai nyelv- és oktatáspolitikai döntések hatására úgy dönt, hogy ukrán tannyelvű
iskolába íratja gyermekét (Molnár 2009, 2010, Séra 2009, 2010 stb.). Jóval kevesebb
figyelem jutott azonban ezekben a publikációkban, illetve a kárpátaljai magyar oktatásról
készült átfogó elemzésekben (például Beregszászi–Csernicskó–Orosz 2001, Fedinec
1999, Hires-László 2011, Orosz 1992, 1995, 2005, 2007, Orosz és mtsai 2011) a képzés
színvonalának, hatékonyságának. Jellemző, hogy ha ez a témakör felmerült, akkor
elsősorban magyarországi szerzőknél (pl. Papp 2010a, 2010b, 2012, 2014, 2015, Csete–

Aniko Magashazi (2021). Singapore Globally Entangled. Lessons for Central
Europe? Kőszeg: Institute of Advanced Studies Kőszeg (iASK), 310, ISBN 978-615-5742-15-6
Aniko Magashazi’s monograph provides an analysis that is embedded in a thorough and well-constructed discussion of the major and salient features of Singapore. The novelty of the topic is as evident today as it was evaluated by the author already as early as 1988 in her doctoral
thesis. It still resonates particularly well today as developing countries search for alternative
models of economic and social development in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain world.
In some ways, the example of Singapore shines a light on what could happen in the best of all possible worlds; and the analysis explores new perspectives for emerging open and small countries, like Hungary. (...
Requirements-aware models to support better informed decision-making for self-adaptation using partially observable Markov decision processes
No full textA self-adaptive system (SAS) is a system that can adapt its behaviour in re- sponse to environmental fluctuations at runtime and its own changes. Therefore, the decision-making process of a SAS is challenged by the underlying uncertainty. In this dissertation, the author focuses on the kind of uncertainty associated with the satisficement levels of non-functional requirements (NFRs) given a set of design decisions reflected on a SAS configuration. Specifically, the focus of this work is on the specification and runtime handling of the uncertainty related to the levels of satisficement of the NFRs when new evidence is collected, and that may create the need of adaptation based on the reconfiguration of the system. Specifically, this dissertation presents two approaches that address decision-making in SASs in the face of uncertainty. First, we present RE-STORM, an approach to support decision- making under uncertainty, which uses the current satisficement level of the NFRs in a SAS and the required trade-offs, to therefore guide its self-adaptation. Second, we describe ARRoW, an approach for the automatic reassessment and update of initial preferences in a SAS based on the current satisficement levels of its NFRs. We eval- uate our proposals using a case study, a Remote Data Mirroring (RDM) network. Other cases have been used as well in different publications. The results show that under uncertain environments, which may have not been foreseen in advance, it is feasible that: (a) a SAS reassess the preferences assigned to certain configurations and, (b) reconfigure itself at runtime in response to adverse conditions, in order to keep satisficing its requirements

The Trouble with the '-s' Morpheme: Difficulties Observed Through Hungarian Speaker's Acquisition of English as a Foreign Language
No full text[ABSTRACT ONLY; NO FULL TEXT] English language learners struggle with the inflectional morpheme of -s. This phenomenon is noticed by educators and extensive literature was written on this subject. Many suggest that one of the possible reasons for this issue is the negative language transfer. The author of this paper aims to detect Hungarian English learners' confusion regarding the meaning and use of third-person singular -s and plural marker -s. The data was collected by ten adult Hungarian learners of English participation all of whom are currently attending EFL classes in Hungary. They were asked to respond to a writing prompt via Google Forms. The students' task was to write a descriptive paragraph using the present tense. The results indicate that Hungarian learners of the English language are confused with the correct meaning, and use of the -s inflectional morpheme in the contexts mentioned above. In the knowledge of this issue, the author of this paper suggests the new pedagogical implication and improved curriculum development aid the students' inflectional morpheme acquisition. Three lesson plans are provided to aid fellow students and educators. Each was created to target the -s inflection throughout communicative and implicit language teaching methods. In addition, these lesson plans are student-centered and rely on four skills to improve Hungarian students' English language journey
SOBRE LA CONCEPCIÓN DE LA MUERTE EN LA FILOSOFÍA DE NIETZSCHE
No full textThis paper deals with the problem of death in Nietzsche's thought. In his program concerning the revaluation of all values death plays a fundamental role. First the author analyzes Nietzsche's critical attitude towards death in connection with Socrates and St. Paul who were the founders of the so-called «metaphysical concept» of death in the European culture. After it the author tries to outline the positive doctrine of Nietzsche's view on death. The final conclusion is that death is, in the last analysis, a hermeneutical question in Nietzsche's philosophy.El presente trabajo trata del problema de la muerte en el pensamiento de Nietzsche. En su programa con respecto a la transvaloración de todos los valores de la muerte desempeña un papel fundamental. Primero, se analiza la actitud crítica de Nietzsche a propósito de la muerte en relación de Sócrates y San Pablo que fueron los fundadores del llamado «concepto metafísico de la muerte» en la cultura europea. Después se intenta esbozar la doctrina positiva de Nietzsche sobre la muerte. La conclusión final es que la muerte es, a fin de cuentas, una pregunta hermenéutica en la filosofía de Nietzsche

Abstract
Introduction: Previous studies argued the role of social prototypes in making desicisions on healthy and unhealthy behaviors. Positive images associated with a certain behavior might increase the possibility of developing the behavior. While most of the studies focused on health risk behaviors, health promoting behaviors have been less investigated yet. However, young adults are more conscious about the social images associated with health behaviors compared with their younger equivalents; much of the relevant research has been conducted with the latter groups. Purpose: The main aim of this study was to (1) examine how university students perceive their physically active peers, (2) map the adjectives associated with the ‘physically active peers’ prototypes, (3) identify respondents’ categories based on their prototype perception, and (4) detect relationships between social images, sociodemographic variables, sporting habits and social attitudes. Material and Method: Cross-sectional, self-report data were obtained from a convenience sample of 515 respondents aged 18-31 years via a survey with students from a Hungarian university. Result: Cluster analyses detected three independent clusters: “Negative” image” group, “Positive appearance” group, “Positive appearance and personality” group. Age, gender, self-assessed SES, sporting friends, social support, social network, Internet use, competitiveness and the need to belonging seemed to make a difference along these groups of social images. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that social variables may play a moderate role in university students’ sport-related prototype formation.

Characterization and seasonal ecology of ectomycorrhizae associated with Sitka alder and lodgepole pine from naturally regeneraing young and mature spruce forests in the sub-boreal spruce zone of British Columbia
No full textPrior to this thesis project, our understanding of the influence of stand age and season on in vivo ectomycorrhizal communities of Sitka alder growing with Lodgepole pine within the Sub-Boreal Spruce biogeoclimatic zone was limited. The magnitude of ectomycorrhizal associates present on Sitka alder and Lodgepole pine was not known. In addition, it was of ecological interest to assess if the two host species, common to early-successional, post-harvest forest communities, were directly linked via common ectomycorrhizal fungi with reference to ecosystem interactions and possible nutrient translocation. Stemming from this general lack of knowledge, the purpose of this thesis project was to strengthen our ecological understanding of these two ectomycorrhizal communities. Two complementary methodologies were implemented in order to assess the ectomycorrhizal communities. Traditional morphological assessments offered one perspective of the mycorrhizal associates and permitted morphological description and mycobiont identification when possible, as well as richness, abundance, diversity, and evenness comparisons with respect to host, stand age, and season. It was found that mycorrhizal richness was greatest for Lodgepole pine. Seral and seasonal effects were shown to significantly impact certain Sitka alder and Lodgepole pine ectomycorrhizae. Seral and seasonal effects also significantly impacted alder ectomycorrhizal diversity and evenness assessments, however, no similar impact was observed for pine. Several possible genera of fungal symbionts were identified that may link Sitka alder and Lodgepole pine. The resolution of ectomycorrhizal taxa comprising the belowground communities were improved over morphological assessments through the use of molecular techniques, specifically PCR-RFLP analyses, the second technique applied. Molecular datasets further confirmed some morpholog_ical assessments and defined morphological descriptions allowing for identification of some mycobionts mostly to the genus level, but also to the species level, as well as determining inter- and intraspecific variation of the int!'lrnal transcribed spacer region of rONA within certain morphotypes. Two mycobiont genera (Cortinarius and Lactarius) were identified on both hosts which suggest the possibility of direct mycorrhizal linkage. In this study, molecular diversity assessments, when used in conjunction with defined morphological techniques (such as morphotyping), offered a complementary synopsis of the diversity and dynamics of ectomycorrhizal communities. Taxa were distinguished to a finer taxonomic level and could be identified using PCR-RFLP analysis while the abundance of ectomycorrhizal morphotypes was best described using morphological techniques. The research indicated that stand age and season can significantly influence alder and pine ectomycorrhizae.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b119732
