    A cigányság oktatási és ebből következő munkaerőpiaci hátrányai olyan problémaként jelennek meg, amelynek orvosolására számos oktatáspolitikai kezdeményezés született. Habár a rendszerváltást követően javult a cigányság oktatási helyzete, megjelentek a cigány fiatalok a felsőoktatásban is, a diploma megszerzése azonban sok esetben csak valamilyen ösztöndíjjal vagy egyéb támogatással sikerülhetett. A kezdetben nem etnikai alapú támogatásokat felváltották az etnikai alapú ösztöndíjak, létrejöttek a cigányság számára létrehozott, tehetséggondozással foglalkozó kezdeményezések

    Concentration inequalities for random fields via coupling

    Get PDF
    We present a new and simple approach to concentration inequalities for functions around their expectation with respect to non-product measures, i.e., for dependent random variables. Our method is based on coupling ideas and does not use information inequalities. When one has a uniform control on the coupling, this leads to exponential concentration inequalities. When such a uniform control is no more possible, this leads to polynomial or stretched-exponential concentration inequalities. Our abstract results apply to Gibbs random fields, in particular to the low-temperature Ising model which is a concrete example of non-uniformity of the coupling.Comment: New corrected version; 22 pages; 1 figure; New result added: stretched-exponential inequalit

    In interpretive research, trustworthiness has developed to become an important alternative for measuring the value of research and its effects, as well as leading the way of providing for rigour in the research process. The article develops the argument that trustworthiness plays an important role in not only effecting change in a research project’s original setting, but also that trustworthy research contributes toward building a body of knowledge that can play an important role in societal change. An essential aspect in the development of this trustworthiness is its relationship to context. To deal with the multiplicity of meanings of context, we distinguish between contexts at different levels of the research project: the domains of the researcher, the collective, and the individual participant. Furthermore, we argue that depending on the primary purpose associated with the collective learning potential, critical potential, or performative potential of phenomenographic research, developing trustworthiness may take different forms and is related to aspects of pedagogical legitimacy, social legitimacy, and epistemological legitimacy. Trustworthiness in phenomenographic research is further analysed by distinguishing between the internal horizon – the constitution of trustworthiness as it takes place within the research project – and the external horizon, which points to the impact of the phenomenographic project in the world mediated by trustworthiness

    Locating mesolithic hunter-gatherer camps in the Carpathian Basin

    The Mesolithic in Eastern Europe was the last time that hunter-gatherer economies thrived there before the spread of agriculture in the second half of the seventh millennium BC. But the period, and the interactions between foragers and the first farmers, are poorly understood in the Carpathian Basin and surrounding areas because few sites are known, and even fewer have been excavated and published. How did site location differ between Mesolithic and Early Neolithic settlers? And where should we look for rare Mesolithic sites? Proximity analysis is seldom used for predictive modeling for hunter-gatherer sites at large scales, but in this paper, we argue that it can serve as an important starting point for prospection for rare and poorly understood sites. This study uses proximity analysis to provide quantitative landscape associations of known Mesolithic and Early Neolithic sites in the Carpathian Basin to show how Mesolithic people chose attributes of the landscape for camps, and how they differed from the farmers who later settled. We use elevation and slope, rivers, wetlands prior to the twentieth century, and the distribution of lithic raw materials foragers and farmers used for toolmaking to identify key proxies for preferred locations. We then build predictive models for the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic in the Pannonian region to highlight parts of the landscape that have relatively higher probabilities of having Mesolithic sites still undiscovered and contrast them with the settlement patterns of the first farmers in the area. We find that large parts of Pannonia conform to landforms preferred by Mesolithic foragers, but these areas have not been subject to investigation

    Identification of Young Stellar Object candidates in the GaiaGaia DR2 x AllWISE catalogue with machine learning methods

    The second GaiaGaia Data Release (DR2) contains astrometric and photometric data for more than 1.6 billion objects with mean GaiaGaia GG magnitude <<20.7, including many Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in different evolutionary stages. In order to explore the YSO population of the Milky Way, we combined the GaiaGaia DR2 database with WISE and Planck measurements and made an all-sky probabilistic catalogue of YSOs using machine learning techniques, such as Support Vector Machines, Random Forests, or Neural Networks. Our input catalogue contains 103 million objects from the DR2xAllWISE cross-match table. We classified each object into four main classes: YSOs, extragalactic objects, main-sequence stars and evolved stars. At a 90% probability threshold we identified 1,129,295 YSO candidates. To demonstrate the quality and potential of our YSO catalogue, here we present two applications of it. (1) We explore the 3D structure of the Orion A star forming complex and show that the spatial distribution of the YSOs classified by our procedure is in agreement with recent results from the literature. (2) We use our catalogue to classify published GaiaGaia Science Alerts. As GaiaGaia measures the sources at multiple epochs, it can efficiently discover transient events, including sudden brightness changes of YSOs caused by dynamic processes of their circumstellar disk. However, in many cases the physical nature of the published alert sources are not known. A cross-check with our new catalogue shows that about 30% more of the published GaiaGaia alerts can most likely be attributed to YSO activity. The catalogue can be also useful to identify YSOs among future GaiaGaia alerts.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures, 3 table

    Giant Dielectric Permittivity and Magnetocapacitance in La\u3csub\u3e0.875\u3c/sub\u3eSr\u3csub\u3e0.125\u3c/sub\u3eMnO\u3csub\u3e3\u3c/sub\u3e Single Crystals

    We report the observation of extremely high dielectric permittivity exceeding 109 and magnetocapacitance of the order of 104% in La0.875Sr0.125MnO3 single crystal. This phenomenon is observed below 270 K, and it exhibits a history dependence. These effects may be the consequence of strong competition and interplay among the charge, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom, resulting in nanoscale charge and spin dynamic inhomogeneities in the prepercolation regime of the phase segregation

    Epilepsy syndrome-associated balance dysfunction assessed by static posturography

    AbstractPurposeTo compare subclinical balance dysfunction in patients with various epilepsy syndromes with apparently healthy subjects.MethodsTwenty-seven patients with localization-related epilepsy (LRE), 19 with primary generalized epilepsy (PGE), who had no subjective complaints of impaired balance and no abnormal neurologic findings on examination, and 22 apparently healthy subjects, underwent static posturography using the Posture Scale Analyzer (PSA) system.ResultsSway index was higher in patients compared to healthy subjects in all tests, significant for single leg stance (p=0.005). Patients with PGE had a higher sway index compared to patients with LRE in six of the tests, also significant for single leg stance (p=0.027). This difference was not affected by the type of AED treatment or disease duration.ConclusionPosturography can improve balance function assessment in patients with epilepsy, demonstrate subclinical impairment in seemingly asymptomatic patients, and further characterize balance deficits in different epilepsy syndromes
