Within a contemporary Hungarian literary discourse that emphasized national values, the first international journal of comparative literature, Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum (ACLU) proved quite incomprehensible. I therefore argue that ACLU’s aims and constant struggles are better understood from the viewpoint of its authors originating from beyond Hungary, such as that held by the En...

The genetic variability, haplotype profile and ethnic differences of MDR1 polymorphisms in healthy Roma and Hungarian populations were analyzed and the results were compared with those of other populations available from the literature. Healthy subjects (465 Roma and 503 Hungarian) were genotyped for C1236T, G2677T/A and C3435T variants of MDR1 by PCR-RFLP assay. Differences were found between ...

Meadow vipers (Vipera ursinii) are small venomous snakes whose range in Hungary has been greatly fragmented by anthropogenic habitat disturbance (especially, agriculture). We obtained DNA from a total of eight Hungarian snakes. Genetic variability at the major histocompatibility (Mhc) class I loci was much lower for these snakes than for specimens from two large Ukrainian populations. Within tw...

This paper reports on the adaptation of a well-established foreign language anxiety scale for use in the Hungarian EFL setting; furthermore, the validation procedures aimed at testing the psychometric properties of the new instrument. Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope’s (1986) Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) was adapted using the method of multiple translators and back translation, and...

This paper provides a description of the automatic conversion of the morphologically annotated part of the Old Hungarian Corpus. These texts are in the format of the Humor analyzer, which does not follow any international standards. Since standardization always facilitates future research, even for researchers who do not know the Old Hungarian language, we opted for mapping the Humor formalism ...

Quality estimation for machine translation is an important task. The standard automatic evaluation methods that use reference translations cannot perform the evaluation task well enough. These methods produce low correlation with human evaluation for English-Hungarian. Quality estimation is a new approach to solve this problem. This method is a prediction task estimating the quality of translat...

The paper attempts to provide forecast methodological framework and concrete models to estimate long run probability of default term structure for Hungarian corporate debt instruments, in line with IFRS 9 requirements. Long run probability of default and expected loss can be estimated by various methods and has fifty-five years of history in literature. After studying literature and empirical m...
