Keeping an eye on body parts: Cultural conceptualizations of the 'eye' in Hungarian

Judit Baranyiné Kóczy

Publication Name: Cognitive Linguistic Studies in Cultural Contexts

Publication Date: 2020-01-01

Volume: 12

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 215-245

Description:

The notion of embodiment refers to the bodily basis of human perceptions about the environment, and also structures our conceptual system (Gibbs 2005; Johnson 1987). This is most evidently manifested in the conceptualizations of body parts and organs and their metaphorical extension to various target domains, illustrated by the metaphor of understanding/knowing is seeing, which was considered by Lakoff and Johnson (1980, 1999) and Sweetser (1990) being universally prevalent. This claim was supported by a range of cross-linguistic studies in English (Alm-Arvius 1993; Danesi 1990; Ibarretxe-Antuñano 1999, 2002; Sweetser 1990; Viberg 2008; Yu 2008), but also debated by others (Evans and Wilkins 2000; Sharifian 2011), pointing to the fact that the conceptual links between perceptual modalities and abstract domains are grounded in cultural models (Kövecses 2000; Sharifian et al. 2008; Yu 2008), hence they can be regarded as cultural conceptualizations (Sharifian 2017). In line with the cross-linguistic research on the metaphorical mappings of vision, the present chapter aims at unveiling the conceptualizations of Hungarian szem 'eye', in order to test whether the expressions that derive from it primarily represent the eye as the seat of thinking/knowing/understanding. According to the results, it is argued that beside the conceptualizations of perception, emotion and interpersonal power, the understanding is seeing metaphor is present in the Hungarian expressions. However, conceptualizations of the eye in Hungarian are also connected to cultural values. For example, some expressions such as szemfedél 'eye-cover', szemmel verés 'beating with the eyes' and szemfényvesztés 'deception, subtleness' are based on cultural schemas. The chapter further demonstrates that, as part of conceptualization, some spatial orientations attached to the eye may take on certain evaluations, as exemplified in the case of szeme közé 'into between his eyes' and its dominantly negative attribution. In this way, the chapter is a contribution to prove the interface between body, language and culture.

Comparative Analysis of Discrete-Time and Precedence-Based MILP Formulations for Sustainable Scheduling in Furniture Manufacturing

Botond Bertok Karoly Kalauz Marton Frits

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2025-01-01

Volume: 121

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 151-156

Description:

Efficient production scheduling plays a pivotal role in enhancing productivity and reducing energy consumption in mass manufacturing environments. This study presents a comparative evaluation of two mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulations - Discrete-Time Process Network Synthesis (PNS) and Precedence-Based Time-Constrained Process Network Synthesis (TCPNS) - for optimizing production scheduling in furniture manufacturing. Both approaches are grounded in the P-graph framework, which excels at representing complex, flexible process recipes commonly found in large-scale production systems. The TCPNS model, with its precedence-based structure, offers high-resolution scheduling capabilities and accurately manages complex changeover constraints. It enables the computation of exact start times and resource allocations, leading to highly optimized schedules. However, this precision comes with increased computational demand, which can become impractical for large-scale instances. Conversely, the PNS approach discretizes the planning horizon into time slots, significantly reducing model size and complexity. While this may result in less granular schedules, the formulation allows for faster solution times and easier integration of combinatorial simplifications, making it a practical alternative for real-time applications. The research also explores automated model generation techniques for both formulations, highlighting multi-resolution capabilities in the discrete-time approach that allow flexible trade-offs between accuracy and computational effort. A real-life case study from the furniture manufacturing sector is used to benchmark the two optimization strategies. The results demonstrate the practical implications of each method in terms of schedule precision, computational performance, and energy-aware utilization, i.e., if minute-to-minute scheduling is sufficient instead of milliseconds, then traditional PNS algorithms can offer the same sustainable solution with 10,000 times faster computation.

Investigation of the fault tolerance of the PIM-SM IP multicast routing protocol for IPTV purposes

István Derka Gábor Lencse

Publication Name: Infocommunications Journal

Publication Date: 2013-01-01

Volume: 5

Issue: 1

Page Range: 21-28

Description:

IPTV services should use an IP multicast solution for a network bandwidth efficient delivery of the media contents. PIM-SM is the most commonly used IP multicast routing protocol in IPTV systems. A short introduction to the operation of PIM-SM is given. Its fault tolerance is examined by experimenting on a mesh topology multicast test network built up by XORP routers in a virtualizcd environment. Different fault scenarios are played and different parameters of PIM-SM and OSPF are examined if they influence and how they influence the outage time of an IPTV service. A formal model is given for the service outage time of the IPTV service on the basis of the results of the experiments.

How to Vary the Input Space of a T-S Fuzzy Model: A TP Model Transformation-Based Approach

Péter Baranyi

Publication Name: IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems

Publication Date: 2022-02-01

Volume: 30

Issue: 2

Page Range: 345-356

Description:

The motivation behind 15 years of continuous development within the topic of the tensor product (TP) model transformation is that the greater the number of parameters or components of the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model one can manipulate, the larger complexity reduction or control optimization one can achieve. This article proposes a radically new type of extension to the TP model transformation. While earlier variants of the TP model transformation focused on how the antecedent - consequent fuzzy set system of a given T-S fuzzy model could be varied, this article, in contrast, focuses on how the number of inputs to a given T-S fuzzy model can be manipulated. The proposed extension is capable of changing the number of inputs or transforming the nonlinearity between the fuzzy rules and the input dimensions. These new features considerably increase the modeling power of the TP model transformation, allowing for further complexity reduction and more powerful control optimization to be achieved. This article provides two examples to show how the proposed extension can be used in a routine-like fashion.

Measuring colour afterimage perception

Lorinc Garai András Horváth

Publication Name: 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2020 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2020-09-23

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 191-196

Description:

Afterimages are common and frequent perceptual phenomena of everyday life. When looking into a high-intensity light source and suddenly turning away from it, a temporary 'ghost' of the light source remains in perception, for a while. A highly saturated, coloured incident light has a different effect on the three types of cone cells. Therefore, the fast change in the colour of incident light triggers different intensity afterimage on the different types of cones, and the observer perceives a colour afterimage disappearing in a between 10- and 100-second timescale. By choosing incident light colours, colour afterimages can be applied in visual design, like in modern, dynamic advertising. Our previous work describes simulation of colour afterimages triggered by given colour combinations. For the validation of simulation, preliminary tests were performed with 20 subjects. Test results suggested the possibility of age dependence of intensity and duration of colour afterimages. In this work, we present the experimental results of 28 observers with different ages and gender. The disappearing time and perceived initial 'intensity' of the colour afterimages were measured in nine fast colour transition cases.

The Economic Structure and Performance of the Catchment Area of the Hungarian Regional Centers

Judit Berkes

Publication Name: Deturope

Publication Date: 2020-01-01

Volume: 12

Issue: 3

Page Range: 58-81

Description:

This study examines the economic structure and performance of urban catchment areas. The five largest Hungarian regional centers are a traditional part of the Hungarian city network, as they are the five most populous cities after Budapest. The approach of territorial research is increasingly focused on the fact that the city as a center should not be studied without its immediate surroundings (agglomeration, region, catchment area). This study also keeps this in mind. The data were processed for the period between 1992 and 2015, on the basis of which the change can also be examined. Development trajectories show very different tendencies; Győr operates the catchment area as a strong center, while the surroundings of Pécs became fragmented due to the weakness of the center. Miskolc is characterized by a stagnant area, where the operation of another sub-center is very intensive, thus improving economic performance. Szeged is a solid center, whose catchment area is stabilized by several substations. The area of Debrecen is divided, the center is not able to energize its area.
