    Title translation Patikaszerek, gyógymódok és áraik a Batthyány család inventáriumának irataiból 1650-1654.
    Abstract Author - after this short introduction and analysis - published below the pharmaceutical bills sent by various pharmacists for Count Adam Batthyány and for his wife Katalin Aurora For- mentini during the period 1650-1654. Based on these bills author identifies the illnesses to be cured, the names of pharmacists and the medicaments made by them, including their prices as well. The carefully written bills recorded the names of the medicaments used both in German and Latin. The prices partly proved to be astonishingly high, so author concludes that services of pharmacists that time were utilized exclusively by the rich. Analysing the bills we can identify the illnesses of the Batthyány family and also those of the Turks imprisoned in their castle, whose curing served the economic interest of the count.

    Abstract (1) Recombinant protein production in mammalian cells is either based on transient transfection processes, often inefficient and underlying high batch-to-batch variability, or on laborious generation of stable cell lines. Alternatively, BacMam, a transduction process using the baculovirus, can be employed. (2) Six transfecting agents were compared to baculovirus transduction in terms of transient and stable protein expression characteristics of the model protein ACE2-eGFP using HEK293-6E, CHO-K1, and Vero cell lines. Furthermore, process optimization such as expression enhancement using sodium butyrate and TSA or baculovirus purification was assessed. (3) Baculovirus transduction efficiency was superior to all transfection agents for all cell lines. Transduced protein expression was moderate, but an 18-fold expression increase was achieved using the enhancer sodium butyrate. Ultracentrifugation of baculovirus from a 3.5 L bioreactor significantly improved the transduction efficiency and protein expression. Stable cell lines were obtained with each baculovirus transduction, yet stable cell line generation after transfection was highly unreliable. (4) This study demonstrated the superiority of the BacMam platform to standard transfections. The baculovirus efficiently transduced an array of cell lines both transiently and stably and achieved the highest efficiency for all tested cell lines. The feasibility of the scale-up of baculovirus production was demonstrated and the possibility of baculovirus purification was successfully explored.

    Abstract Urbanization is rapidly shaping and transforming natural environments, creating networks of modified land types. These urbanization-driven modifications lead to local extinctions of several species, but the surviving ones also face numerous novel selection pressures, including exposure to pollutants, habitat alteration, and shifts in food availability and diversity. Based on the assumption that the environmental pool of microorganisms is reduced in urban habitats due to habitat alteration, biodiversity loss, and pollution, we hypothesized that the diversity of bacterial microbiome in digestive tracts of arthropods would be lower in urban than rural habitats. Investigating the gut bacterial communities of a specialist ground beetle, Carabus convexus, in forested rural versus urban habitats by next generation high-throughput sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, we identified 3839 bacterial amplicon sequence variants. The composition of gut bacterial samples did not significantly differ by habitat (rural vs. urban), sex (female vs. male), sampling date (early vs. late spring), or their interaction. The microbiome diversity (evaluated by the Rényi diversity function), however, was higher in rural than urban adults. Our findings demonstrate that urbanization significantly reduced the diversity of the gut bacterial microbiome in C. convexus.

    Abstract Urbanization is creating changes in environmental and habitat conditions, as well as creating disturbance and threats to urban-associated species. Some traits, such as high exploratory and risk-taking behavior, are beneficial to allow colonization of urban habitats and coping with urbanization-derived pressures. In this study the exploratory and risk-taking behavior of rural and urban individuals of three forest-associated rove beetle species were tested during their main reproductive period by five frequently used behavioral measures. Individuals of all studied species were similarly ranked by all behavioral measures, indicating that the studied rove beetles responded consistently in the different contexts. However, the behavior of beetles was consistent over time for all/most studied species only by using two measures of exploratory behavior. These provide evidence for the existence of the exploratory dimension of personality in rove beetles. We found a higher exploratory behavior in males than females in Ocypus nitens which can be explained by the active searching of males for mating partners. There were no urbanization-related differences in the exploratory behavior of individuals, suggesting that behavioral changes (being more exploratory) may not yield additional fitness benefits in these rove beetle species with good dispersal capacity.

    Abstract The paper proposes a synthesis of several specific approaches of productivity in services, in order to provide a better argued theoretical basis for a realistic assessment of the values of several comparative indicators. From a conceptual point of view, the paper will take as a base some definitions of productivity as a quantitative and industrial indicator, revealing certain aspects that need a widening of the area of approach, in the purpose of being suitable for immaterial activities. Based on the brief analysis of productivity, performance and servicity indicators, the research establishes correlations between them in the immaterial field. Elder and, as well, most recent analyses found in the field literature are used, from most rigorous sources, and they are supplemented with own approaches; such approaches ore pointing out several most specific features that are specially set for services and intellect-intensive activities. Technical and financial aspects of common productivity are taken into account, as well as performance in realising various goals, non-economic here included, and the service components, in a complex approach. The presentation focus on nuance features in the quoted references, in the purpose of a fine defining of the indictors and approaches. Specific particularization is achieved based on the literature. Methodologically, the paper is approaching in an unorthodox manner, the plus of value issued from the human activity, i.e. being in a view coming from a fine analysis of the service performed by any economic activity, in a market system. The conceptual importance of these comparative indicators is concisely highlighted, and it consists mainly in the opening that can become a useful ground for practical applicative analyses, which actually are proposed in the future developments of the topic. The research results reveal the relationship between these comparative indicators as well as some conceptual differences between them. Their application can be made for material and immaterial economic activities, at different levels of economic entities concerned.

    Abstract The world-wide, rapid urbanization is leading to substantial changes in environmental and habitat conditions. These changes, as well as disturbances accompanying urbanization have considerable effects at various levels of the biological organization on wildlife. Understanding behavioral responses to such changes is essential for identifying which organisms may successfully adapt to the altered conditions. In this study, individuals of a forest specialist ground beetle, Carabus convexus, from rural and urban forest patches were tested for their exploratory and risk-taking behavior. Beetles responded consistently in the different contexts; furthermore, by behaving consistently over time, demonstrated that they had personalities. Agglomerative cluster analysis identified two groups of behavioral traits: the exploratory and the risk-taking dimension of personality. Urban females were significantly more exploratory than urban males which can be an adaptation to find high quality food needed to mature eggs in urban habitats, as well as to select favorable microsites for oviposition. Moreover, urban females and males showed more risk-taking behavior than rural females. Urban beetles with more risk-taking behavior may be better able to cope with frequent urbanization-driven disturbance events.

    Abstract Urbanization is increasing worldwide and causes substantial changes in environmental parameters, generating various kinds of stress on arthropods, with several harmful consequences. We examined a forest specialist ground beetle, Carabus convexus, in forested habitats to evaluate the changes in four important life history traits between rural and urban populations. Analyzing beetles from the overwintered cohort in their first breeding season, we found no significant differences in body length or body mass between the rural and urban individuals. Body condition, judged by fat reserve scores, was similarly poor in both habitats, indicating that beetles were not able to accumulate substantial fat reserves at either habitat. Females with ripe eggs in their ovaries were first captured at the same time in both areas. The number of ripe eggs, however, was significantly higher in females of the low-density urban population (6.13 eggs/female) than in those of the high-density rural population (4.14 eggs/female), indicating density-dependent fecundity. Altered environmental and habitat conditions by urbanization, however, seemed to cause high mortality during egg hatching and/or larval development, preventing the growth of the urban population to the level of rural one.

    Abstract The paper proposes sythesizing the most important correlations between the dimensions of human capital, in order to provide a better theoretical basis for assessing realistic valence motivated human resources sustainable development of society. In terms of conceptual work based on the fundamental role of health capital and the neglect that often has its problems, especially in developing countries. Based on the review abstract theory of human capital, research establishes correlations between dimensions. It shows the importance of ethical component in professionalism and existence of moral capital rooted in medical ethics. Specific breakdowns of health capital, referring to the health of the population and medical services. The research findings highlight the profound connection between morality and productivity seemingly nonexistent (customized to the case of medical services), about joint economic approaches ignored. It also means that the moral, professional and medical staff working in social capital formation influence the health of a nation.
