Genome-Wide Association Study on the Estimated Breeding Values for Udder and Longevity and the Candidate Genes in Holstein-Friesian Cows in Hungary

Péter Póti Szabolcs Bene László Rózsa László Bognár Attila Zsolnai Ferenc Szabó István Anton

Publication Name: Animals

Publication Date: 2026-01-01

Volume: 16

Issue: 1

Page Range: Unknown

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.

Extension of a Glycaemic Control Medical Application with New Functions and Ergonomic User Interface Elements

Mihaela Lascu Balázs Benyó Katalin Kovács Brigitte Beatrix Schweisthal Ákos Szlávecz

Publication Name: 2018 13th International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications Isetc 2018 Conference Proceedings

Publication Date: 2018-12-19

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

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.

Phylogenetic relationships of a novel bat fly species infesting the geographically widespread Old World fruit bat, Rousettus leschenaultii, in Southern Asia

Kevin J. Olival Jenő Kontschán Kendra Phelps Tahir Mehmood Khan Arshad Javid Shahzad Ali Muhammad Imran None Attaullah Sándor Hornok

Publication Name: Parasitology Research

Publication Date: 2023-09-01

Volume: 122

Issue: 9

Page Range: 2101-2107

Description:

The global epidemiological significance of bats and their blood-sucking ectoparasites is increasingly recognized. However, relevant data are scarce from Pakistan where the Palearctic and Oriental zoogeographic regions meet. In this study, 200 bats belonging to five species were examined for the presence of ectoparasites in Pakistan. Bat flies were found only on Leschenault’s fruit bat (Rousettus leschenaultii). The prevalence of infestation did not correlate with habitat type and host traits including age, reproductive status, and sex. All bat flies represented the same Eucampsipoda species which was shown to be morphologically different from all species of its genus with known south Asian distribution and belonged to a separate phylogenetic group. These results highlight the existence of a hitherto undescribed bat fly species in southern Asia, which is not shared by the fruit bat species (R. leschenaultii) and insectivorous ones (e.g., Rhinopoma microphyllum) thus probably playing a role only in intraspecific transmission of pathogens.

Ildiko Horvath

Publication Name: 10th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2019 Proceedings

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.

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

József Répás Gyorgy Wersenyi

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.

Renaming States—A Case Study: Changing the Name of the Hungarian State in 2011. Its Background, Reasons, and Aftermath

Péter Takács

Publication Name: International Journal for the Semiotics of Law

Publication Date: 2020-09-01

Volume: 33

Issue: 3

Page Range: 899-927

Description:

A provision of the Hungarian constitution, adopted in 2011, has renamed the state. The name changed from the Republic of Hungary to Hungary, while the form of the state has remained “republic”. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning, significance, and several consequences of this provision. The analysis consists of three main parts. The first one gives a general overview of the functions of the names of states. It claims that not only names but also changing or modifying names of states—taking place either by name-giving or by shaping convention—can serve certain functions. The second part focuses on the historical and constitutional details of renaming the Hungarian state, and summarizes the legal context that provided the framework for the 2011 renaming. The third part outlines the arguments for the change, takes a look at the official justification and actual reasons, and reveals some of the consequences of the name change in the past decade. The main contention of the paper is that the renaming of the Hungarian state that took place in 2011 lacked any overt and reasonable justification, and is best explained as an expression of anti-republican sentiment, which indicated, and partly paved the way for the transition into a kind of an authoritarian regime. Finally, the study raises a possible interpretation of the renaming of the Hungarian state in 2011, the point of which is that it adumbrated many later changes in public law and political systems.

Description:

Local governments had key and prominent roles in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Their task was to take short-term measures quickly and to organize protection and care for those in need. The main objective of our paper is to present how local governments communicated with their inhabitants on various online interfaces in this crisis situation. Our analysis covers 54 settlements representing all the different levels of the settlement network from large cities to small villages. We examined the webpages and Facebook pages of local governments and mayors, first during the first wave and then during the second and third waves of the pandemic. Recognizing their responsibility, local governments clearly tried to provide information to the inhabitants as quickly as possible. They considered the online interfaces the most effective, but the online communication had typically been complemented by information published on more traditional channels as well. There were no significant differences in terms of the way and characteristics of communication among the different types of settlements, although local governments of different sizes obviously had to face different challenges in terms of the amount of tasks they had to tackle. The communication process was a very difficult task because of the lack of information and the not-transparent data provision. Even on the Facebook pages especially suitable for this purpose, interactivity rumbled, and in many cases the questions and suggestions of the inhabitants remained unanswered. It is instructive that, with few exceptions, settlements do not place emphasis on surveying local needs and opinions.
