Few people know that apart from being the founder of the non-Euclidean geometry he was also interested in sociology, philosophy, epistemology and linguistics. According to the renowned Hungarian psychoanalytic Imre Hermann, who lives in France, János Bolyai was mentally deranged. However, this is incorrect. The present article intends to prove that he was completely sane until the moment of his death. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Imre%20Hermann" title="Imre Hermann">Imre Hermann</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=insane" title=" insane"> insane</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=J%C3%A1nos%20Bolyai" title=" János Bolyai"> János Bolyai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mathematics" title=" mathematics"> mathematics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=non-Euclidean%20geometry" title=" non-Euclidean geometry"> non-Euclidean geometry</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=psyphoanalytic" title=" psyphoanalytic"> psyphoanalytic</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/35797/refutation-of-imre-hermanns-allegation-janos-bolyai-was-not-insane" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/35797.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">491</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">16</span> In-Depth Analysis of Involved Factors to Car-Motorcycle Accidents in Budapest City</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Danish%20Farooq">Danish Farooq</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Janos%20Juhasz"> Janos Juhasz</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Car-motorcycle accidents have been observed higher in recent years, which caused mainly riders’ fatalities and serious injuries. In-depth crash investigation methods aim to investigate the main factors which are likely involved in fatal road accidents and injury outcomes. The main objective of this study is to investigate the involved factors in car-motorcycle accidents in Budapest city. The procedure included statistical analysis and data sampling to identify car-motorcycle accidents by dominant accident types based on collision configurations. The police report was used as a data source for specified accidents, and simulation models were plotted according to scale (M 1:200). Car-motorcycle accidents were simulated in Virtual Crash software for 5 seconds before the collision. The simulation results showed that the main involved factors to car-motorcycle accidents were human behavior and view obstructions. The comprehensive, in-depth analysis also found that most of the car drivers and riders were unable to perform collision avoidance manoeuvres before the collision. This study can help the traffic safety authorities to focus on simulated involved factors to solve road safety issues in car-motorcycle accidents. The study also proposes safety measures to improve safe movements among road users. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=car%20motorcycle%20accidents" title="car motorcycle accidents">car motorcycle accidents</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=in-depth%20analysis" title=" in-depth analysis"> in-depth analysis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=microscopic%20simulation" title=" microscopic simulation"> microscopic simulation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=safety%20measures" title=" safety measures"> safety measures</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/109658/in-depth-analysis-of-involved-factors-to-car-motorcycle-accidents-in-budapest-city" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/109658.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">151</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">15</span> Scalable and Accurate Detection of Pathogens from Whole-Genome Shotgun Sequencing</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Janos%20Juhasz">Janos Juhasz</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Sandor%20Pongor"> Sandor Pongor</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Balazs%20Ligeti"> Balazs Ligeti</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Next-generation sequencing, especially whole genome shotgun sequencing, is becoming a common approach to gain insight into the microbiomes in a culture-independent way, even in clinical practice. It does not only give us information about the species composition of an environmental sample but opens the possibility to detect antimicrobial resistance and novel, or currently unknown, pathogens. Accurately and reliably detecting the microbial strains is a challenging task. Here we present a sensitive approach for detecting pathogens in metagenomics samples with special regard to detecting novel variants of known pathogens. We have developed a pipeline that uses fast, short read aligner programs (i.e., Bowtie2/BWA) and comprehensive nucleotide databases. Taxonomic binning is based on the lowest common ancestor (LCA) principle; each read is assigned to a taxon, covering the most significantly hit taxa. This approach helps in balancing between sensitivity and running time. The program was tested both on experimental and synthetic data. The results implicate that our method performs as good as the state-of-the-art BLAST-based ones, furthermore, in some cases, it even proves to be better, while running two orders magnitude faster. It is sensitive and capable of identifying taxa being present only in small abundance. Moreover, it needs two orders of magnitude less reads to complete the identification than MetaPhLan2 does. We analyzed an experimental anthrax dataset (B. anthracis strain BA104). The majority of the reads (96.50%) was classified as Bacillus anthracis, a small portion, 1.2%, was classified as other species from the Bacillus genus. We demonstrate that the evaluation of high-throughput sequencing data is feasible in a reasonable time with good classification accuracy. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=metagenomics" title="metagenomics">metagenomics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=taxonomy%20binning" title=" taxonomy binning"> taxonomy binning</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=pathogens" title=" pathogens"> pathogens</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=microbiome" title=" microbiome"> microbiome</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=B.%20anthracis" title=" B. anthracis"> B. anthracis</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/99150/scalable-and-accurate-detection-of-pathogens-from-whole-genome-shotgun-sequencing" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/99150.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">137</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">14</span> Comeback of the Limited Precedent System in Hungary – A Critical Assessment</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Istv%C3%A1n%20J%C3%A1nos%20Moln%C3%A1r">István János Molnár</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Hungary has a legal system that is primarily based on statutory legislation, which means that statutes are the main source of law. However, in a surprising move, the Hungarian Parliament introduced a "limited" precedent system on 1 April 2020. This reform requires Hungarian courts to consider not only statutes but also the interpretation of those statutes in decisions made by the highest court in the country, the Curia. While judge-made customary law is not completely unfamiliar in Hungarian legal practice, the introduction of this new system presents several theoretical and practical challenges that may take time to resolve. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=civil%20procedure" title="civil procedure">civil procedure</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=hungary" title=" hungary"> hungary</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=judicial%20practice" title=" judicial practice"> judicial practice</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=precedent%20system" title=" precedent system"> precedent system</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=sources%20of%20law" title=" sources of law"> sources of law</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/171681/comeback-of-the-limited-precedent-system-in-hungary-a-critical-assessment" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/171681.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">90</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">13</span> Artificial Neural Network Model Based Setup Period Estimation for Polymer Cutting</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Zsolt%20J%C3%A1nos%20Viharos">Zsolt János Viharos</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Kriszti%C3%A1n%20Bal%C3%A1zs%20Kis"> Krisztián Balázs Kis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Imre%20Paniti"> Imre Paniti</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=G%C3%A1bor%20Bels%C5%91"> Gábor Belső</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=P%C3%A9ter%20N%C3%A9meth"> Péter Németh</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=J%C3%A1nos%20Farkas"> János Farkas</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> The paper presents the results and industrial applications in the production setup period estimation based on industrial data inherited from the field of polymer cutting. The literature of polymer cutting is very limited considering the number of publications. The first polymer cutting machine is known since the second half of the 20th century; however, the production of polymer parts with this kind of technology is still a challenging research topic. The products of the applying industrial partner must met high technical requirements, as they are used in medical, measurement instrumentation and painting industry branches. Typically, 20% of these parts are new work, which means every five years almost the entire product portfolio is replaced in their low series manufacturing environment. Consequently, it requires a flexible production system, where the estimation of the frequent setup periods' lengths is one of the key success factors. In the investigation, several (input) parameters have been studied and grouped to create an adequate training information set for an artificial neural network as a base for the estimation of the individual setup periods. In the first group, product information is collected such as the product name and number of items. The second group contains material data like material type and colour. In the third group, surface quality and tolerance information are collected including the finest surface and tightest (or narrowest) tolerance. The fourth group contains the setup data like machine type and work shift. One source of these parameters is the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) but some data were also collected from Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings. The number of the applied tools is one of the key factors on which the industrial partners’ estimations were based previously. The artificial neural network model was trained on several thousands of real industrial data. The mean estimation accuracy of the setup periods' lengths was improved by 30%, and in the same time the deviation of the prognosis was also improved by 50%. Furthermore, an investigation on the mentioned parameter groups considering the manufacturing order was also researched. The paper also highlights the manufacturing introduction experiences and further improvements of the proposed methods, both on the shop floor and on the quotation preparation fields. Every week more than 100 real industrial setup events are given and the related data are collected. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=artificial%20neural%20network" title="artificial neural network">artificial neural network</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=low%20series%20manufacturing" title=" low series manufacturing"> low series manufacturing</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=polymer%20cutting" title=" polymer cutting"> polymer cutting</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=setup%20period%20estimation" title=" setup period estimation"> setup period estimation</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/57280/artificial-neural-network-model-based-setup-period-estimation-for-polymer-cutting" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/57280.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">245</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">12</span> Dimensions of Guest Experience in Themed Hotels </h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Katalin%20Juhasz-Dora">Katalin Juhasz-Dora</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Several studies have shown that physical environments, milieu, atmosphere and service space play a significant role in the consumer experience. In the case of themed servicescapes, different tangible assets (design, decoration, facilities, amenities), intangible assets (service, activities) contribute to the luxury guest experience. This current study summarizes the literature related to the guest experience in the case of luxury hotels. Based on the results of a case study, additional dimensions of guest experience are explored. The research findings contribute to the extension of literature by providing a conceptual framework in specific themed luxury hotels. Understanding the elements of themed servicescape and dimensions of guest experience play a significant role in consumer behavior.

The results of the test were compared to the students’ results in the school leaving exams and to their self-assessment values. It was found that there is only a slight connection between the students’ results in the test and in the school leaving exams, especially at intermediate level.

A total of 112 PM10 aerosol samples were collected in the years of 2012 and 2013 and analyzed for PAHs by gas chromatography method. The total PAH concentrations (sum of the concentrations of 19 individual PAH compounds) ranged from 0.19 to 70.16 ng/m3 with the mean value of 12.29 ng/m3. Higher concentrations of both total PAHs and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) were detected in samples collected in the heating seasons. Using BaP-equivalent potency index on the carcinogenic PAH concentration data, the local population appears to be exposed to significantly higher cancer risk in the heating seasons. However, the comparison of the BaP and total PAH concentrations observed for Győr with other cities it was found that the PAH levels in Győr generally corresponded to the EU average. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=air%20quality" title="air quality">air quality</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=benzo%5Ba%5Dpyrene" title=" benzo[a]pyrene"> benzo[a]pyrene</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=PAHs" title=" PAHs"> PAHs</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=polycyclic%20aromatic%20hydrocarbons" title=" polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons"> polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/26007/seasonal-variation-of-polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons-associated-with-pm10-in-gyor-hungary" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/26007.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">480</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">9</span> Electrical Effects during the Wetting-Drying Cycle of Porous Brickwork: Electrical Aspects of Rising Damp</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Sandor%20Levai">Sandor Levai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Valentin%20Juhasz"> Valentin Juhasz</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Miklos%20Gasz"> Miklos Gasz</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Rising damp is an extremely complex phenomenon that is of great practical interest to the field of building conservation due to the irreversible damages it can make to old and historic structures. The electrical effects occurring in damp masonry have been scarcely researched and are a largely unknown aspect of rising damp. Present paper describes the typical electrical patterns occurring in porous brickwork during a wetting and drying cycle. It has been found that in contrast with dry masonry, where electrical phenomena are virtually non-existent, damp masonry exhibits a wide array of electrical effects. Long-term real-time measurements performed in the lab on small-scale brick structures, using an array of embedded micro-sensors, revealed significant voltage, current, capacitance and resistance variations which can be linked to the movement of moisture inside porous materials. The same measurements performed on actual old buildings revealed a similar behaviour, the electrical effects being more significant in areas of the brickwork affected by rising damp. Understanding these electrical phenomena contributes to a better understanding of the driving mechanisms of rising damp, potentially opening new avenues of dealing with it in a less invasive manner. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=brick%20masonry" title="brick masonry">brick masonry</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=electrical%20phenomena%20in%20damp%20brickwork" title=" electrical phenomena in damp brickwork"> electrical phenomena in damp brickwork</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=porous%20building%20materials" title=" porous building materials"> porous building materials</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=rising%20damp" title=" rising damp"> rising damp</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=spontaneous%20electrical%20potential" title=" spontaneous electrical potential"> spontaneous electrical potential</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=wetting-drying%20cycle" title=" wetting-drying cycle"> wetting-drying cycle</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/127541/electrical-effects-during-the-wetting-drying-cycle-of-porous-brickwork-electrical-aspects-of-rising-damp" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/127541.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">131</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">8</span> Quantitative Proteome Analysis and Bioactivity Testing of New Zealand Honeybee Venom</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Maryam%20Ghamsari">Maryam Ghamsari</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Mitchell%20Nye-Wood"> Mitchell Nye-Wood</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Kelvin%20Wang"> Kelvin Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Angela%20Juhasz"> Angela Juhasz</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Michelle%20Colgrave"> Michelle Colgrave</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Don%20Otter"> Don Otter</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Jun%20Lu"> Jun Lu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Nazimah%20Hamid"> Nazimah Hamid</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Thao%20T.%20Le"> Thao T.

This study investigated the proteins present in New Zealand (NZ) honeybee venom (BV) using bottom-up proteomics. Two sample digestion techniques, in-solution digestion and filter-aided sample preparation (FASP), were employed to obtain the optimal method for protein digestion. Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH–MS) analysis was conducted to quantify the protein compositions of NZ BV and investigate variations in collection years. Our results revealed high protein content (158.12 µg/mL), with the FASP method yielding a larger number of identified proteins (125) than in-solution digestion (95). SWATH–MS indicated melittin and phospholipase A2 as the most abundant proteins. Significant variations in protein compositions across samples from different years (2018, 2019, 2021) were observed, with implications for venom's bioactivity. In vitro testing demonstrated immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities, with a viable range for cell growth established at 1.5-5 µg/mL. The study underscores the value of proteomic tools in characterizing bioactive compounds in bee venom, paving the way for deeper exploration into their therapeutic potentials. Further research is needed to fractionate the venom and elucidate the mechanisms of action for the identified bioactive components. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=honeybee%20venom" title="honeybee venom">honeybee venom</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=proteomics" title=" proteomics"> proteomics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=bioactivity" title=" bioactivity"> bioactivity</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=fractionation" title=" fractionation"> fractionation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=swath-ms" title=" swath-ms"> swath-ms</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=melittin" title=" melittin"> melittin</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=phospholipase%20a2" title=" phospholipase a2"> phospholipase a2</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=new%20zealand" title=" new zealand"> new zealand</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=immunomodulatory" title=" immunomodulatory"> immunomodulatory</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=antioxidant" title=" antioxidant"> antioxidant</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/187480/quantitative-proteome-analysis-and-bioactivity-testing-of-new-zealand-honeybee-venom" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/187480.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">40</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">7</span> Winning the “Culture War”: Greater Hungary and the American Confederacy as Sites of Nostalgia, Mythology, and Problem-Making for the Far Right in the US and Hungary</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Grace%20Rademacher">Grace Rademacher</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Trauma” of the Kingdom of Hungary and the “Lost Cause” of the American Confederacy. Applying Nicole Maurantonio’s articulation of “confederate exceptionalism” and Svetlana Boym’s definition of “restorative nostalgia”, this article argues that, via memorialization and public discourse, both far right bodies flood their constituencies with narratives of nostalgia and martyrdom to sow existential anxieties about past and prophetic victimhood, all under the guise of protecting or restoring heritage. Linking this practice to gamification and conspiracy theorizing and following the work of Patrick Jagoda, this article identifies such industries of nostalgia as means by which the far right in both nations can partake in the “immanent and improvisational process of problem making.” Reified through monuments and references to the Trianon Trauma and the American confederacy, political actors “problem make” by alleging that they are victims of the West or the Left, subject to the cruel whims of liberalism and denial of historical legitimacy. In both nations, relying on their victimhood, pundits and politicians can appeal to white supremacists and distract citizens from legitimate active conflicts, such as wars or democratic rollbacks, redirecting them to fictional, mythical attacks on Hungarian or American society and civilization. This article will examine memorials and monuments as “lieux de memoire” and identify the purposeful similarities between the discourse of public figures and politicians such as María Schmidt, János Lázár, and Viktor Orbán, with that of Donald Trump and pundits such as Tucker Carlson. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=nationalism" title="nationalism">nationalism</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=political%20memory" title=" political memory"> political memory</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=white%20supremacy" title=" white supremacy"> white supremacy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=trianon" title=" trianon"> trianon</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/165644/winning-the-culture-war-greater-hungary-and-the-american-confederacy-as-sites-of-nostalgia-mythology-and-problem-making-for-the-far-right-in-the-us-and-hungary" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/165644.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">76</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">6</span> Fatal Road Accident Causer's Driving Aptitude in Hungary</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=A.%20Juh%C3%A1sz">A.

In order to clarify how much the trauma of causing a fatal accident effects their driving skills and personality traits, the results of a psychological aptitude and a personality test of drivers carelessly causing fatal accidents and of drivers not causing any accidents were compared separately. The sample (N = 354) consists of randomly selected drivers from the Transportation Aptitude and Examination Centre database who caused fatal accidents (Fatal group, n = 177) or did not cause accidents (Control group, n = 177). The aptitude tests were taken between 2014 and 2019. The comparison of the 2 groups was done according to 3 aspects: 1. Categories of aptitude (suitable, restricted, unsuited); 2. Categories of causes (ability, personality, ability and personality) within the restricted or unsuited (altogether: non-suitable subgroups); 3. Categories of ability and personality within the non-suitable subgroups regardless of the cause-category. Within ability deficiency, the two groups include those, whose ability factor is impaired or limited. This is also true in case of personality failure. Compared to the control group, the number of restricted drivers causing fatal accidents is significantly higher (p < .000) and the number of unsuited drivers is higher on a tendency-level (p = .06). Compared to the control group in the fatal non-suitable subgroup, the ratio of restricted suitability and the unsuitability due to ability factors is exclusively significantly lower (p < .000). The restricted suitability and the unsuitability due to personality factors are more significant in the fatal non-suitable subgroup (p < .000). Incapacity due to combination of ability and personality is also significantly higher in the fatal group (p = .002). Compared to the control group both ability and personality factors are also significantly higher in the fatal non-suitable subgroup (p < .000). Overall, the control group is more eligible for driving than drivers who have caused fatalities. The ability and personality factors are significantly higher in the case of fatal accident causers who are non-suitable for driving. Moreover the concomitance of ability and personality factors occur almost exclusively to drivers who caused fatal accidents. Further investigation is needed to understand the causes and how the aptitude test results for the fatal group could improve over time. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=aptitude" title="aptitude">aptitude</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=unsuited" title=" unsuited"> unsuited</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=fatal%20accident" title=" fatal accident"> fatal accident</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=ability" title=" ability"> ability</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=personality" title=" personality"> personality</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/121875/fatal-road-accident-causers-driving-aptitude-in-hungary" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/121875.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">143</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">5</span> Zooming into the Leadership Behaviours Desired by the 21st Century Workforce: Introduction of the Research Theory and Methods </h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Anita%20Bela">Anita Bela</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Marta%20Juhasz"> Marta Juhasz</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Adapting to the always-changing environment comes with complex determinants. The authors are zooming into one aspect only when the current workforce comes with obstacles by being less keen to stay engaged, even short or mid-term, resulting in additional challenges impacting the business performance. Seeing these occurring in practice made the researchers eager to gain a better understanding of the reasons behind. The paper aims to provide an overview of the theoretical background and research methods planned for the different stages of the research. The theoretical part takes the leadership behaviors under lens while the focus is on finding ways to attract and retain those who prefer working under more flexible employment conditions (e.g. contractor, contingent worker, etc.). These are considered as the organizational values and along with the power of people management are having their engaging relevance. The organizational culture (visible or invisible level) is clearly the mirror of the set of shared values guiding all members of the companies towards acceptable behavior. The applied research method, inductive reasoning was selected since the focus and questions raised in this research are results of specific observations made on the employees (various employment types) and leaders of start-ups and corporates. By comparing the similarities and differences, the researchers are hoping to prove the readiness and agility of the start-up culture for the desired leadership behaviours of the current and future workforce against the corporate culture. While exploring the preferences and engaging factors of the 21st-century workforce the data gathering would happen through website analysis – using ATLAS.ti qualitative software – followed by interview sessions where demographics will be collected and preferred leadership behaviors - using the Critical Incident Technique. Moreover, a short engagement survey will be administered to understand the linkage between the organizational culture type and engagement level. To conclude, after gaining theoretical understanding, we will zoom back to the employees to reveal the behaviors to be followed to achieve engagement in an environment where nothing is stable and where the companies always must keep their agile eyes and reactions vivid. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=leadership%20behaviours" title="leadership behaviours">leadership behaviours</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=organizational%20culture" title=" organizational culture"> organizational culture</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=qualitative%20analysis" title=" qualitative analysis"> qualitative analysis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=workforce%20engagement" title=" workforce engagement"> workforce engagement</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/114545/zooming-into-the-leadership-behaviours-desired-by-the-21st-century-workforce-introduction-of-the-research-theory-and-methods" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/114545.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">116</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">4</span> Polyclonal IgG glycosylation in Patients with Pediatric Appendicitis</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Dalma%20Dojcs%C3%A1k">Dalma Dojcsák</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Csaba%20V%C3%A1radi"> Csaba Váradi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Fl%C3%B3ra%20Farkas"> Flóra Farkas</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Tam%C3%A1s%20Farkas"> Tamás Farkas</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=J%C3%A1nos%20Papp"> János Papp</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=B%C3%A9la%20Viskolcz"> Béla Viskolcz</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Background: Appendicitis is a common acute inflammatory condition in both children and adults, but current laboratory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), and red blood cell count (RNC) lack specificity in detecting appendicitis-related inflammation. N-glycosylation, an asparagine-linked glycosylation process, plays a vital role in cellular interactions, angiogenesis, immune response, and effector functions. Altered N-glycosylation impacts tumor growth and both acute and chronic inflammatory processes. IgG, the second most abundant glycoprotein in serum, shows altered glycosylation patterns during inflammation, suggesting that IgG glycan modifications may serve as potential biomarkers for appendicitis. Specifically, increased levels of agalactosylated IgG glycans are a known feature of various inflammatory conditions, potentially including appendicitis. Identifying pediatric appendicitis remains challenging due to the absence of specific biomarkers, which makes diagnosis reliant on clinical symptoms, imaging such as ultrasound, and nonspecific lab indicators (e.g., CRP, WBC, ANC). In this study, we analyzed the IgG derived N-glycome in pediatric patients with appendicitis compared with healthy controls. Methodology: The N-glycome was analyzed by high-performance liquid-chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. IgG was isolated from serum samples by Protein G column. The IgG derived glycans were released by enzymatic deglycosylation and fluorescent tags were attached to each glycan moiety, which made necessitates the sample clean-up for further reliable quantitation. Overall, 38 controls and 40 serum samples diagnosed with pediatric appendicitis were analyzed by HILIC-MS methods. Multivariate statistical tests were performed with area percentage under the peak data derived from the integrated peaks, which were obtained from the chromatograms. Conclusions: Our results represented the altered N-glycome of IgG in pediatric appendicitis is similar with other observations. The glycosylation pattern reported so far for IgG is characterized by decreased galactosylation and sialylation, and an increase in fucosylation. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=N-glycosylation" title="N-glycosylation">N-glycosylation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=liquid%20chromatography" title=" liquid chromatography"> liquid chromatography</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=mass%20spectrometry" title=" mass spectrometry"> mass spectrometry</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=inflammation" title=" inflammation"> inflammation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=appendicitis" title=" appendicitis"> appendicitis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=immunoglobulin%20G" title=" immunoglobulin G"> immunoglobulin G</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/194641/polyclonal-igg-glycosylation-in-patients-with-pediatric-appendicitis" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/194641.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">13</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">3</span> The Motivational Factors of Learning Languages for Specific Purposes</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Janos%20Farkas">Janos Farkas</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Maria%20Czeller"> Maria Czeller</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ildiko%20Tar"> Ildiko Tar</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> A remarkable feature of today’s language teaching is the learners’ language learning motivation. It is always considered as a very important factor and has been widely discussed and investigated. This paper aims to present a research study conducted in higher education institutions among students majoring in business and administration in Hungary. The aim of the research was to investigate the motivational factors of students learning languages for business purposes and set up a multivariate statistical model of language learning motivation, and examine the model's main components by different social background variables. The research question sought to answer the question of whether the motivation of students of business learning LSP could be characterized through some main components. The principal components of LSP have been created, and the correlations with social background variables have been explored. The main principal components of learning a language for business purposes were "professional future", "abroad", "performance", and "external". In the online voluntary questionnaire, 28 questions were asked about students’ motivational attitudes. 449 students have filled in the questionnaire. Descriptive statistical calculations were performed, then the difference between the highest and lowest mean was analyzed by one-sample t-test. The assessment of LSP learning was examined by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey post-hoc test among students of parents with different qualifications. The correlations between student motivation statements and various social background variables and other variables related to LSP learning motivation (gender, place of residence, mother’s education, father’s education, family financial situation, etc.) have also been examined. The attitudes related to motivation were seperated by principal component analysis, and then the different language learning motivation between socio-economic variables and other variables using principal component values were examined using an independent two-sample t-test. The descriptive statistical analysis of language learning motivation revealed that students learn LSP because this knowledge will come in handy in the future. It can be concluded that students consider learning the language for business purposes to be essential and see its future benefits. Therefore, LSP teaching has an important role and place in higher education. The results verify the second linguistic motivational self-system where the ideal linguistic self embraces the ideas and desires that the foreign language learner wants to achieve in the future. One such desire is to recognize that students will need technical language skills in the future, and it is a powerful motivation for them to learn a language. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=higher%20education" title="higher education">higher education</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=language%20learning%20motivation" title=" language learning motivation"> language learning motivation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=LSP" title=" LSP"> LSP</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=statistical%20analysis" title=" statistical analysis"> statistical analysis</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/153270/the-motivational-factors-of-learning-languages-for-specific-purposes" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/153270.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">94</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">2</span> The Role of Behavioral Syndromes in Human-Cattle Interactions: A Physiological Approach</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Fruzsina%20Luca%20K%C3%A9z%C3%A9r">Fruzsina Luca Kézér</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Viktor%20Jurkovich"> Viktor Jurkovich</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Ott%C3%B3%20Szenci"> Ottó Szenci</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=J%C3%A1nos%20T%C5%91zs%C3%A9r"> János Tőzsér</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Levente%20Kov%C3%A1cs"> Levente Kovács</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Positive interaction between people and animals could have a favorable effect on the welfare and production by reducing stress levels. However, to the repeated contact with humans (e.g. farm staff, veterinarians or herdsmen), animals may respond with escape behavior or avoidance, which both have negative effects on the ease of handling, welfare and may lead to the expression of aggressive behaviors. Rough or aversive handling can impair health and the function of the cardiac autonomic activity due to fear and stress, which also can be determined by certain parameters of heart rate variability (HRV). Although the essential relationships between fear from humans and basal tone of the autonomic nervous system were described by the authors previously, several questions remained unclear in terms of the associations between different coping strategies (behavioral syndromes) of the animals and physiological responsiveness to humans. The main goal of this study was to find out whether human behavior and emotions to the animals have an impact on cardiac function and behavior of animals with different coping styles in response situations. Therefore, in the present study, special (fear, approaching, restraint, novel arena, novel object) tests were performed on healthy, 2-year old heifers (n = 104) differing in coping styles [reactive (passive) vs. proactive (active) coping]. Animals were categorized as reactive or proactive based on the following tests: 1) aggressive behavior at the feeding bunk, 2) avoidance from an approaching person, 3) immobility, and 4) daily activity (number of posture changes). Heart rate, the high frequency (HF) component of HRV as a measure of vagal activity and the ratio between the low frequency (LF) and HF components (LF/HF ratio) as a parameter of sympathetic nervous system activity were calculated for all individual during lying posture (baseline) and for response situations in novel object, novel arena, and unfamiliar person tests (both for 5 min), respectively. The differences between baseline and response were compared between groups. Higher sympathetic (higher heart rates and LF/HF ratios) and lower parasympathetic activity (lower HF) was found for proactive animals in response situations than for reactive (passive) animals either during the novel object, the novel arena and the unfamiliar person test. It suggests that animals with different behavioral traits differ in their immediate autonomic adaptation to novelty and people. Based on our preliminary results, it seems, that the analysis of HRV can help to understand the physiological manifestation of responsiveness to novelty and human presence in dairy cattle with different behavioral syndromes. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=behavioral%20syndromes" title="behavioral syndromes">behavioral syndromes</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=human-cattle%20interaction" title=" human-cattle interaction"> human-cattle interaction</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=novel%20arena%20test" title=" novel arena test"> novel arena test</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=physiological%20responsiveness" title=" physiological responsiveness"> physiological responsiveness</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=proactive%20coping" title=" proactive coping"> proactive coping</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=reactive%20coping" title=" reactive coping"> reactive coping</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/61950/the-role-of-behavioral-syndromes-in-human-cattle-interactions-a-physiological-approach" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/61950.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">353</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card paper-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">1</span> Light Sensitive Plasmonic Nanostructures for Photonic Applications</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Istvan%20Csarnovics">Istvan Csarnovics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Attila%20Bonyar"> Attila Bonyar</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Miklos%20Veres"> Miklos Veres</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Laszlo%20Himics"> Laszlo Himics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Attila%20Csik"> Attila Csik</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Judit%20Kaman"> Judit Kaman</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Julia%20%20Burunkova"> Julia Burunkova</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Geza%20Szanto"> Geza Szanto</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Laszlo%20Balazs"> Laszlo Balazs</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/abstracts/search?q=Sandor%20Kokenyesi"> Sandor Kokenyesi </a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> In this work, the performance of gold nanoparticles were investigated for stimulation of photosensitive materials for photonic applications. It was widely used for surface plasmon resonance experiments, not in the last place because of the manifestation of optical resonances in the visible spectral region. The localized surface plasmon resonance is rather easily observed in nanometer-sized metallic structures and widely used for measurements, sensing, in semiconductor devices and even in optical data storage. Firstly, gold nanoparticles on silica glass substrate satisfy the conditions for surface plasmon resonance in the green-red spectral range, where the chalcogenide glasses have the highest sensitivity. The gold nanostructures influence and enhance the optical, structural and volume changes and promote the exciton generation in gold nanoparticles/chalcogenide layer structure. The experimental results support the importance of localized electric fields in the photo-induced transformation of chalcogenide glasses as well as suggest new approaches to improve the performance of these optical recording media. Results may be utilized for direct, micrometre- or submicron size geometrical and optical pattern formation and used also for further development of the explanations of these effects in chalcogenide glasses. Besides of that, gold nanoparticles could be added to the organic light-sensitive material. The acrylate-based materials are frequently used for optical, holographic recording of optoelectronic elements due to photo-stimulated structural transformations. The holographic recording process and photo-polymerization effect could be enhanced by the localized plasmon field of the created gold nanostructures. Finally, gold nanoparticles widely used for electrochemical and optical sensor applications. Although these NPs can be synthesized in several ways, perhaps one of the simplest methods is the thermal annealing of pre-deposited thin films on glass or silicon surfaces. With this method, the parameters of the annealing process (time, temperature) and the pre-deposited thin film thickness influence and define the resulting size and distribution of the NPs on the surface. Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is a very sensitive optical phenomenon and can be utilized for a large variety of sensing purposes (chemical sensors, gas sensors, biosensors, etc.). Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is an analytical method which can significantly increase the yield of Raman scattering of target molecules adsorbed on the surface of metallic nanoparticles. The sensitivity of LSPR and SERS based devices is strongly depending on the used material and also on the size and geometry of the metallic nanoparticles. By controlling these parameters the plasmon absorption band can be tuned and the sensitivity can be optimized. The technological parameters of the generated gold nanoparticles were investigated and influence on the SERS and on the LSPR sensitivity was established. The LSPR sensitivity were simulated for gold nanocubes and nanospheres with MNPBEM Matlab toolbox. It was found that the enhancement factor (which characterize the increase in the peak shift for multi-particle arrangements compared to single-particle models) depends on the size of the nanoparticles and on the distance between the particles.
