Description:

Our genome-wide association study identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with estimated breeding values (EBVs) for udder traits and longevity in Holstein-Friesian cows. While no SNP was individually associated with multiple EBVs, the functional profiles of the associated genes revealed overlapping biological processes across traits, including cell signaling, transcription regulation, immune response, metabolism, and cellular maintenance. Notably, nearby SNPs BTB-01738708 and ARS-BFGL-NGS-111478 were associated with EBVlongevity and EBVudder and located near numerous genes, including GPR85, BMT2, IFRD1, and DOCK4, suggesting a potential for shared genetic influence on these traits. Our findings provide insights into the complex genetic architecture of these economically important traits and highlight the need for further research, including fine-mapping and functional genomics, to elucidate the specific variants and their effects.

Description:

The human body is composed of numerous highly complex metabolic processes. Abnormal variation of the blood glucose concentration is a common complication in the intensive care units. This paper presents a model-based method of glycaemic control and a medical application implementing the glycaemic control protocol. The principal cases were to extend the functionality of the application in order to automatically create multiple episodes for a patient already in the database of the application and an accessibly view for previous treatments calculation. These functions are very helpful and convenient because allow to the clinicians to have new measurements and a treatment calculation without entering the data of the patient again in the system. The visualization of previous treatments can be efficiently used to define optimized dosing for the subsequent treatment period. The paper concludes with the results of the extension of the medical application.

Publication Date: 2019-10-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 491-494

Description:

This study investigates the behaviors and habits shown by students of higher education while using MaxWhere's 3D VR spaces (www.maxwhere.com). Students participating in the study all belonged to the CE [2] generation or to slightly older (X and Y) generations. The study was based on a questionnaire survey and empirical research,-direct observations, with special focus on spatial awareness, collaboration, mobile applications, and cognitive processes-especially from the perspective of information processing. We paid attention to the techniques of perception of information, habits of information collection, selection, classification, and habits of applying and creating new information. Our study shows that those who study more than one smartboard content at the same time achieve better short-Term memorization and have better results in highlighting the essence of the topic at hand. Short and long-Term memorization are also influenced by the location of control questions relative to the theoretical content.

Cooperation between the health visitor and the physician as one of the pillars of the 108-year-old Hungarian Health Visitor Service

Petra Szabó-Németh Krisztina Horváth Zsuzsanna Soósné Kiss

Publication Name: Orvosi Hetilap

Publication Date: 2023-08-20

Volume: 164

Issue: 33

Page Range: 1311-1318

Description:

Introduction: Despite the more than 100-year history of the Hungarian Health Visitor Service, no study has yet been carried out that looked back at the cooperation between health visitors and physicians. Objective: Our aim was 1) to explore the professional advances of the health visitor service and the cooperation between health visitor and physician by examining historical documents, legal and professional regulations governing the work of health visitor, furthermore, 2) to investigate whether there are compulsory training elements in today's training for health visitors that prepare students for health visitor and physician collaboration, moreover, 3) to search for old tools and documents used by health visitors and doctors in the North-West of Transdanubia. Method: A literature search was carried out to identify documents relating to the development of the work of health visitors, the cooperation between health visitors and physicians, past and current legal and professional regulations, the current regulation on training of health visitors. Through field research, we tracked down old tools and documents of health visitors and physicians. Results: The establishment of the Hungarian Health Visitor Service is associated with the names of professors of medicine. The historical documents and regulations testify the development of the work of the health visitor, the expansion of her competences and the importance of the health visitor and physician cooperation. The training competences required for the cooperation between health visitors and physicians, health visitors and specialists are regulated by the regulation on training of health visitors. We have found many old objects and documents used in the work of the health visitor and doctor. Discussion: The documents that have preserved almost invariably describe the health visitor as a person working alongside the physician, in cooperation with the physician. Nowadays, the regulation of cooperation covers for all specialties in the field of health visitor. Conclusion: Based on our research, it is fair to say that the health visitor-physician cooperation is an important pillar of the 108-year-old Hungarian Health Visitor Service.

Description:

Objective: The present study aims to explore the relationships between big data analytics capability, circular economy practices, and SMEs’ sustainable performance in Pakistan. It investigates notable factors determining SMEs’ sustainable performance, including employees’ perceived usefulness, data-driven culture, and leadership competency mediating the mentioned relationships. Method: The study employs quantitative research based on a positivist philosophy orientation. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among the employees of 350 SMEs operating in Pakistan’s different regions. Findings: The study's results demonstrated the direct effects of big data analytics capability on sustainable performance, employee perceived usefulness, and data-driven culture. Additionally, circular economy practices influence sustainable performance; employee perceived usefulness and leadership competency. Finally, the results highlighted that each relationship is subject to partial mediation, which indicates the role of employee-perceived usefulness and data-driven culture in the relationship between big data analytics and sustainable performance and employee-perceived usefulness associated with the relationship between circular economy practices and sustainable performance. Novelty: The present study highlights that all three of the previous topics are consistent and significantly contribute to the existing literature by providing a model with the main factors that determine SMEs’ sustainable performance, which can be sufficient for countries’ developing economies.

Immigration and competitiveness - some methodological questions

Tünde Patay

Publication Name: Deturope

Publication Date: 2017-01-01

Volume: 9

Issue: 3

Page Range: 207-220

Description:

Immigrants can contribute significantly to the economic and social development of regions or urban areas. Some key figures on migration are thus traditionally used in studies on local development. Beyond the usual description of migratory movements, two research fields are often in the centre of controversies, namely the labour market and the inclusion of immigrants. Comparing the European regions, the phases of urban development as well as the relevant internal and external factors present a mixed picture in Europe. At the same time, the dynamics of migratory movements and the reactions of national and subnational policies also vary. The Member States of the European Union aim to harmonise their definitions and data on migration issues, however, the daily practice leads us to the questions of reliability and comparability of migration statistics; and the interdisciplinary character of migration research offers the use of variable research methods. The aim of this study, as a part of a presentation at a conference on urban development, is to describe some key methodological issues of migration research exploring the typical questions. The first part of the paper calls attention to the importance of data quality, processing and interpretation, describing the research methods mainly used in studies on immigration. The second part summarizes the significance of immigration in regional competitiveness, pointing out the possible "stumbling stones" in the relevant migration studies. Some of these factors, the areas that are mainly in the centre of scientific and political debates, are discussed in this paper, namely the labour market challenges and issues relating to the different aspects of segregation.

Comparison of HRTFs from a dummy-head equipped with hair, cap and glasses in a virtual audio listening task over equalized headphones

József Répás György Wersényi

Publication Name: 142nd Audio Engineering Society International Convention 2017 AES 2017

Publication Date: 2017-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) are frequently used in virtual audio scene rendering in order to simulate sound sources at different spatial locations. The use of dummy-head HRTFs (also referred as generic sets) is often criticized because of poor localization performance, leading to e.g. lower spatial resolution, in-thehead localization, front-back reversals etc. This paper presents results of horizontal plane localization obtained by digital filter representations of dummy-head HRTFs that were recorded normally, and using additional cap, glasses and hair on the head. Results of untrained subjects over equalized reference headphones showed no significant difference among the HRTF sets despite of large magnitude differences. This method for customization of generic HRTFs fails if improvement in localization is needed.

Richárd Horváth Balázs Horváth Viktor Nagy

Publication Name: Transportation Research Procedia

Publication Date: 2017-01-01

Volume: 27

Page Range: 1050-1057

Description:

Nowadays, data sets are spreading continually, generated by different devices and systems. The modern GPS based tracking systems and the electronic tickets are producing lots of data, and we could use them, for improving the service level. These data are processable with the modern devices and methods, and we can use them for obtaining information. Thanks to the spread of data mining, these tools are not appearing only in marketing research, but also in the most various kind of scientific areas and they are advertising a new scientific revolution. Although the importance of these data sources is essential it is not widespread in transport planning except in some specific areas. The smart card systems store the number of boarding passengers and in some cases also the alighting values. From the passengers' boarding and alighting information in a stop point we can create a time series, which shows the behavior type of the given stop points presented on graphic curves. With the help of different clustering and classification processes, these curves can be turned into groups and we can observe these groups of stop points which are defining separated zones. This is the basic step in transport modelling and the zones were determined by manual methods usually. In this paper we examine clustering and classification methods compared to each other and check the usability of different distance measurement techniques. This paper shows the usage of these methods in public transportation and presents the background of this kind of zone distribution technic.
