Towards a Narrative Understanding of Victimhood : The Perception of Intergroup Conflicts in Light of Past Ingroup Victimization

The present study explores the role of linguistic compositional characteristics in transmitting collective victimhood beliefs. Experimentally manipulated excerpts of history textbooks were used to examine the perception of the victim position of national outgroups and its intermediary social psychological processes with Hungarian (N = 415) and Finnish (N = 116) participants. The results reveal that the narrative composition of the victimhood narrative had a significant effect on the perception of the target groups’ victimhood position. The evaluation of the groups changed according to which variant of the story was introduced. The results demonstrate that the perception of a perpetrator group can be changed purely by means of narrative construction and that their actions can acquire a “victim tone”. This effect is present in both the Hungarian and Finnish samples, suggesting that narrating an event of victimhood has certain universal characteristics, although their effect is partially dependent on the national-historical-cultural contexPeer reviewe

Automatikus morfológiai elemzés a korai Alzheimer-kór felismerésében

Cikkünkben Alzheimer-kórral diagnosztizált páciensek és egy egészséges kontrollcsoport beszédátiratának a magyarlanc által automatikus morfológiai elemzésnek alávetett változatait vizsgáljuk azzal a céllal, hogy a betegek nyelvhasználati sajátosságait felmérjük. Bemutatjuk a gépi elemzés kézi annotálással történ korrigálása során talált hibákat és javaslatokat teszünk a lehetséges javítási módokra. Emellett összefüggéseket keresünk a kórban szenvedk és egészséges társaik nyelvi produkciója között acélból, hogy egy, a jöv- ben megvalósuló rendszer keretén belül az esetlegesen érintettek beszédjük alapján felismerhetek legyenek

Novel tetrakis lanthanide β-diketonate complexes : structural study, luminescent properties and temperature sensing

Lanthanide β-diketonate complexes have been extensively investigated in the past, as they are cheap, easy to synthesize and they tend to form highly stable complexes with lanthanide ions. Lanthanide β-diketonate complexes have been used as NMR shift reagents, also they are good precursors for further synthesis in some more complex matrixes (such as sol-gels, polymers…), used as OLEDs and as temperature probes because of their distinct luminescence properties.1 Optical thermometry based on luminescence is an expanding field of research because non-contact temperature sensing can have different applications, such as in bioimaging, anti-counterfeiting or in industry where it is necessary to have good sensing properties in precisely defined temperature ranges.2 Here, we report novel structures of different homonuclear (Ln3+ = Eu, Tb, Sm, Dy, Pr, Nd, Er, and Yb) complexes and four heteronuclear complexes: two Eu-Tb and two Tb-Sm complexes with different ratios of the two ions. The trifluoro-acetylacetone (TFAC) ligand has been chosen for the synthesis because it is well known and widely used in complexation chemistry. Up till now, there have not been any reported structures of tetrakis TFAC complexes with lanthanides. The complexes crystallize in the orthorhombic system with Pna2 space group with four molecules per unit cell. The structure consists of a [Ln(TFAC)4]- salt with a sodium cation, where the Ln ion is coordinated with eight O atoms from the TFAC ligand. The homonuclear complexes show luminescent properties in both the visible and NIR region. The Dy complex shows temperature-dependent luminescence in the 280-380 K region, with a maximum value of Sr = 3.45% K-1 at 280 K. The heteronuclear complexes of Tb-Sm with different ion ratios also show good temperature-dependent luminescent properties in this region with maximum Sr = 2.30 % K-1 at 360 K. For the Eu-Tb complexes, it was also observed that the different ions ratios influence the temperature-dependent luminescence in the way that they can be sensitive in the different temperature regions. For a complex with a higher Tb3+ contents temperature sensing properties were observed in the 10-335 K range, with a maximum Sr value of 1.65 K-1 at 285 K. When more Eu3+ ions are present in the heteronuclear complex, it shows temperature sensing abilities in the physiological region, from 273-373 K, with a maximum Sr value of 2.70 K-1 at 353 K.

Co-Administration of Proton Pump Inhibitors May Negatively Affect the Outcome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated with Vedolizumab

Concomitant medications may alter the effect of biological therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. The aim was to investigate the effect of proton pump inhibitors on remission rates in patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with the gut-selective vedolizumab. Patients from the Hungarian nationwide, multicenter vedolizumab cohort were selected for post hoc analysis. Primary outcomes were the assessment of clinical response and endoscopic and clinical remission at weeks 14 and 54. Secondary outcomes were the evaluation of the combined effect of concomitant steroid therapy and other factors, such as smoking, on remission. A total of 108 patients were identified with proton pump inhibitor data from 240 patients in the original cohort. Patients on steroids without proton pump inhibitors were more likely to have a clinical response at week 14 than patients on concomitant PPI (95% vs. 67%, p = 0.005). Non-smokers with IBD treated with VDZ were more likely to develop a clinical response at week 14 than smokers, particularly those not receiving PPI compared with patients on co-administered PPI therapy (81% vs. 53%, p = 0.041, and 92% vs. 74%, p = 0.029, respectively). We found that the use of PPIs in patients treated with VDZ may impair the achievement of response in certain subgroups. Unnecessary PPI prescriptions should be avoided

FinUgRevita : nyelvtechnológiai eszközök fejlesztése kisebbségi finnugor nyelvekre

A jelenleg is futó nemzetközi FinUgRevita projekt (2013-2017) keretében olyan nyelvtechnológiai eszközöket fejlesztünk, melyek a kis finnugor népek közülük a manysik (vogulok) és udmurtok (votjákok) nyelvének digitális és online jelenlétét teszi lehetővé, és segíti az anyanyelvi beszélőket és a tanulni vágyókat a nyelvi kommunikáció különféle színterein. A kezdeti fázisban a két nyelv jelenkori leíró nyelvtanai alapján nyelvtani kivonatok készülnek, melyek a készülő online morfológiai elemző szabályrendszerét adják, míg az eddig megjelent nyomtatott szótárak szkennelésével, OCR-es elemzésével és manuális javítással az udmurt esetében 13000, míg a manysi esetében előreláthatólag 10-15000 szavas elektronikusan felhasználható szótár készül. A morfológiai elemző futtatásához és további nyelvtechnológiai eszközök fejlesztéséhez az interneten szabadon elérhető udmurt és manysi nyelvű tartalmakból nagy tokenszámú korpuszt építünk. A projekt célja, hogy a készülő eszközök online szabadon hozzáférhetőek legyenek az udmurt és manysi nyelvek beszélőinek és tanulóinak számára, és nem utolsó sorban kutatási célokra is alkalmazhatóak legyenek
