The scholarly discipline of ethnochoreology or, as Hungarians would say, dance folkloristics, has had a profound and developed history in Hungary. From the very beginning of its establishing in early 1950s, various intense research activities have focused on the collection, documentation and systematization of traditional dances throughout the country, but also on developing particular theories about their historical and regional stratification. Along with dance notation (Labanotation), one of the main methods of collecting and documenting traditional dances has been their planned filming during pre-arranged sessions, financially and organizationally supported by the state institutions. Among early dance researchers, Labanotators and ethnochoreologists the most significant figure whose influence will far exceed the historical timing and national boundaries of his scholarly work certainly is György Martin (1932-1983). Thanks to the fertile environment of early traditional dance investigation in Hungary coupled with his academic education in folkloristics and ethnomusicology, but also, on the other hand, his huge passion for field research and cabinetwork equally, Martin has left a monumental academic foundation in all of his numerous writings, among which some were published after his early death. The book Selected papers of György Martin, edited by prominent dance researchers from Hungary (Fügedi, Szőnyi and Varga) and Ireland (Quigley), consists of the most significant Martin’s articles from various periods of his career. Besides Martin’s essays translated or re-edited in English, there are also dozens of papers by dance scholars mostly from Hungary. They critically reinterpret Martin’s achievements and reposition them not only within Hungarian but also within international scopes, pointing to their great importance for developing ethnochoreology as an academic scholarly discipline in general and to the continuation of their actuality in the second and third decades of the 21st century. Thanks to the fact that this capital publication is printed in English, Martin’s most significant papers and their scholarly interpretations will be available to a wider readership around the world, which will enable further theoretical, methodological and intellectual considerations about (traditional/folk) dance.

Selected Papers of György Martin, with its 824 pages, is a considerable volume to impress the reader at first sight. It has been published as the first piece of the series Foundations of Hungarian Ethnochoreology by the Research Centre for the Humanities Institute for Musicology and the Hungarian Heritage House. Four decades after the premature death of György Martin, Hungarian ethnochoreologists took a symbolic step forward: publishing this volume counts as paying tribute to the emblematic figure of Hungarian traditional dance research, as well as it helps them position their own professional identity in the light of the predecessor’s oeuvre.

The paper deals with the evaluation of the mechanical properties of the crepe paper and chickpaper. The thickness of crepe paper was 300 m with the surface mass 150 g*m-2 and chickpaper paper thickness was 100 m with the surface mass 40 g*m-2. Crepe paper and chickpaper are usually used for chicken breeding. Longitudinal and transversal tensile properties were studied. The tensile behavior was monitored on the motorized test stand ANDILOG STENTOR 1000 (Andilog Technologies, Vitrolles, France).There were measured the tensile properties as modulus of elasticity, maximal elongation, maximal tensile force, tensile strengths, tensile index and strain at break of the longitudinal and transversal samples by testing paper strips. Mean values of the maximal elongation b of longitudinal chickpaper samples were three times smaller than maximal elongation of transversal samples. Mean values of maximal tensile force Ft, tensile strength btensile indexwand maximal strain at break T of longitudinal chickpaper samples were two times smaller than maximal quantities of transversal samples. Mean values of the tensile modulus of elasticity of longitudinal and transversal chickpaper samples were almost equal. Chickpaper mechanical properties in tension were different in the longitudinal and transversal direction of the original paper surface. Mean values of the maximal elongation b and maximal strain at break T of longitudinal crepe paper samples were sixty times smaller than maximal elongation and maximal strain at break of transversal samples. Mean values of maximal tensile force Ft, tensile strength bandtensile indexwof longitudinal crepe paper samples were fourth times smaller than maximal quantities of transversal samples. Mean values of the tensile modulus of elasticity of longitudinal samples of crepe paper were thirty eight times smaller than values of transversal samples.

This study explores a particular interface between fine art and mass culture: how cartoonists reimagined a well-known or lesser-known painting or illustration. I analyse political cartoons based on these reworkings in four selected Budapest comic papers (Bolond Istók, Borsszem Jankó, Kakas Márton and Üstökös) between 1890 and 1910. In the present study, I analyse only those drawings whose originals feature the leader Árpád or a ruler as the protagonist and relate the paintings to their actions. The caricaturists replaced them with political figures, thus updating the message of the paintings. First I will present the actualised metamorphoses of Árpád, then the transformations of the rulers of later periods, followed by the reimagined representations of the contemporaries, Franz Joseph and Elisabeth. I close the analysis with an example from abroad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Historical Papers Collection of the Museum and Library of Hungarian Agriculture contains almost 50,000 documents, a significant portion of which, a total of ten per cent, relates to forestry and hunting or the subject of forests in general. This basic statistic shows that the collection provides a rich source base for research or presentation in exhibitions of this theme. Among the documents that cover the wider theme of forests the earliest is from 1654, even though documents as recent as 2009 are also found in the collection, however the period best represented in this collection is the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. The majority of the papers are concerned with hunting, while less than 800 items contain references or data relating to forestry, but in many of the latter group hunting is mentioned in some form. The presentation of the relevant part of the collection is followed by a list of forestry related documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In my research I have processed the legal documents of József Zlinszky written in Latin and Hungarian. His land lay on the so-called triple boundary between Irsa, Mikebuda and Cegléd in the 18th-century. Zlinszky had many conflicts with his neighbours due to the unsettled boundaries which often resulted in lawsuits. The only purpose of these lawsuits was to increase the laimant’s territories, since the origin of wealth was landed property at this time. The relevant letters, legal papers and records show us how boundary walks were organized and how the proceedings happened in general. Furthermore, we get an insight into the 18 th-century life: the documents reveal the answers for questions like how important religion and faith were, how boundaries were interpreted by the people, or what kind of role a shepherd could have in a proceeding.

In 2002, in Hungarian library education the area of study was renamed from library sciences to "library sciences and information technology". The author analysed the topics of the winning papers of the National Conference of Students doing Research (OTDK) in the period 1997 through 2015, whether they reflect the changes in the profession, and justify the relevance of this name change. The analysis covered essays from ten competition rounds of the bi-annual conferences. The author has been present at these conferences since 2007 both as a consultant professor and as an evaluator, so her findings are based on personal experience. The papers reviewed were classified into three thematic groups: 1) libraries and information technology; 2) traditional library activities; 3) historical papers. The titles of papers indicate a diversity and wide choice of topics. Besides traditional library themes new topics were added to the curriculum and specialized issues related to information science and technology came to the foreground. It was also found that the use of IT in libraries has become established in library education, and is in the focus of attention of students. It can be concluded that it was justified to change the speciality's name. In addition to presenting achievements, the author draws attention to some potential themes not yet covered, and offers a list of current topics waiting for research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the rapid expansion of irrigated agriculture, effi cient use of the limited water resources in arid and semi-arid regions is becoming more and more vital. However, water salinity is a major problem due to its negative infl uence on the yields of many crops. It reduces citrus trees’ growth and causes physiological disorders. Primarily salt-stress lowers net CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance, and water potential of citrus tree leaves, in addition to accumulation of excessive concentration of Chloride or Sodium in leaves. A great deal of research indicates that citrus have the genetic potential to be salt-sensitive; however inheritance studies in citrus are scarce. In this paper the adverse of effects of salinity on physiological aspects of citrus are reviewed. The review summarizes the prevailing state of knowledge about the responses and tolerance of citrus trees to salinity.

In the second part of the study, Alan Krueger's articles on the gig economy are presented. There are only a few percentages of the American workforce taking part in the gig economy, but their role is much more important than their number. They represent a new employment form which influences all other types of employment as well. In this paper, the characteristics of the new types of working arrangements are also described.

The review deals with two provocative articles (by Tom Wilson and F. J. Miller respectively) about the challenges of knowledge management. Knowledge management can be regarded on the one hand as a mania or a fashion, a notion that many people mix up and use synonymously with information management; on the other hand, it gives the impression that information processes can be managed effectively. Sceptical voices do not doubt that knowledge management experts can contribute efficiently to the management of enterprises, but they think the question should not be oversimplified. It would be more important to create the right conditions and mechanisms to support the acquirement and effective use of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The group of articles starts with a brief summary of Géza Fülöp's (1928-1998) career path. He joined the LIS School of the Eötvös Loránd University in 1961. He acted as Head of Department between 1986 and 1994. His name is associated with a renewal of the department and the modernisation of its training structure. He was very popular as a professor, researcher and public figure. The papers cover his professional activities in more detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study analyses 359 scientific articles published between 1989 and 2015, based on several criteria. During the analysis, we examine how the number of publications changed over the years and which countries and journals dealt with the chosen topic. In respect to the relationship between authors of publications, we seek to establish how the authors relate to each other by analysing if they more typically publish works on their own, in small or large teams, and if the given area has leading authors.

The paper explores the image that the Budapest-based satirical papers (Az Üstökös, Bolond Miska, Borsszem Jankó, Ludas Matyi) mediated about the press whose views they shared and about those that supported their political opponents, as well as about the extent of the freedom of the press in general, the label suits and the means of press direction, in the year of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise and the following year. While in the spring months, after the restoration of the press law of 1848, they welcomed the freedom of the press, the examination and consequent suit of László Böszörmdnyi quenched the enthusiasm, and led to a more negative diagnosis of the state of the freedom of the press from the autumn of 1867 than has been thought by later scholarship. The opposition satirical papers condemned the label suits as means of the repressive press policy of the government, criticised the method of financial support - inherited from the previous period - and the subsidized progovernment press, and referred with increasing frequency to the oppressive press policy of the previous decades. The critical tone was further strengthened by the emergence on the market of the pro-government satirical Borsszem Jankó. While the Bolond Miska and the Borsszem Jankó also fought each other, the fiercest, partly anti-semitic assault on the pro-government satirical was launched by the Ludas Matyi. The intensity of the attacks only abated in the 18705. In the months following the Compromise the press frequently featured in texts and caricatures of a wide thematic range, which became a less common feature in the later period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper collectively authored by Norbert Pap, Máté Kitanics, Péter Gyenizse, Gábor Szalai and Balázs Polgár on the environmental features of the medieval village called Földvár was published in the 2019/2 issue of the review Történelmi Szemle. Its title promised to finally localise the central area of the 1526 battle of Mohács. Measured to this promise, the content is rather disappointing. The previous results of the research into the location of the medieval village of Földvár, thought to have lain in the centre of the battle, were not determined by the fact that these were formulated by persons with military experience or by civilians. And yet Pap and his co-authors, by localising Földvár into the vicinity of today's Sátorhely, lock into a research strand of military historical background which they previously blamed for the neglect of written sources and whose methods it was they declared aim to pass by. Those researchers, however, whether soldiers or civilians, who did use the evidence offerred by the charter material, all excluded Sátorhely from the possible localisations of Földvár. The long sections in the paper that deal with medieval charters and early medieval written sources are completely useless, since they use their testimony fairly selectively, and thus the site that can in fact be surmised on the basis of the medieval written evidence, namely the area around today's Udvar, did not even come to their minds.

This paper deals with the relatedness of digital transformation, customer relationships and servitization in the context of contract manufacturing in Hungary. From an interactive point of view, this paper discusses digital transformation in inter-organizational relationships as an evolutionary process between contract manufacturers and their customers. A qualitative, case-study method was used for a single case. Components of the digital transformation process reflected the seller’s ability to solve problems and fulfil the customers’ needs. The two groups of strategic drivers are the purpose of fulfilling customer expectations and the efforts to increase efficiency. Customer expectations contribute, not only to the problem-solving ability, but also to decrease the uncertainty of the contract manufacturer. Efforts to increase efficiency contribute to fulfilment ability and decrease uncertainty of the contract manufacturer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
