Bridging Media and Information Literacy with Experiential Learning
Jose G Casas-Puente, Alma E Gutierrez-Leyton
This article explores how information and media literacy (MIL/IL), when integrated into internship experiences in higher education, can enhance students’ professional development, critical awareness, and ethical engagement. Framed within an applied research project, the study investigates students’ perceptions regarding the importance of information competencies and their connection to career readiness and personal growth. This study used a mixed-methods design combining IL-HUMASS surveys (pre/post), open-ended responses (Item 29), and an integrative synthesis of three programme studies (Anonymous Sources A-C). The research was conducted at a large public university in north-eastern Mexico as part of a broader pedagogical model aimed at bridging academic learning with workplace realities through experiential education. The cohorts comprised a cross-programme survey of 426 undergraduates; a pre-/post workshop with communication students, and a diagnostic study with more than 500 students across faculties. The results show that there are significant differences between how crucial students think information literacy is and how well they believe they perform in it, especially in relevant areas like using information ethically, evaluating sources critically, and communicating effectively online. Along with the numbers, open-ended responses showed common issues like the need for more hands-on training, challenges in adjusting to mixed or online work settings, and the importance of blending technical skills with emotional and reflective abilities. These findings highlight that internships, when connected to MIL/IL strategies, can effectively help students build essential skills that are useful for securing and sustaining employment in the long run. This paper contributes to the ongoing academic discussion on the role of higher education in equipping students for dynamic and technology-driven labour markets. Furthermore, it proposes an integrated pedagogical model that connects classroom learning with real-world demands while fostering autonomy, ethical responsibility, and critical thinking within digital contexts. Limitations include the single-institution scope, reliance on self-report IL-HUMASS measures, and a short pre-/post-window; these were tempered through qualitative triangulation and a transparent synthesis protocol.
New Grüss’s inequalities estimates considering the φ-fractional integrals
Saleh S. Redhwan, Tariq A. Aljaaidi, Ali Hasan Ali
et al.
Careful study of applied sciences and their development requires us to expand the scope of analytical studies. We aim during introducing the current manuscript to rediscover and present Grüss inequality in a new framework. In order to do that, we use the recently generalized proportional fractional integral operator for a certain function with respect to another continuous and strictly increasing function. Furthermore, we prove some new related inequalities using the current fractional integral operator. Some special cases of the presented results will be discussed.

Possible Projection of the First Military Survey of the Habsburg Empire in Lower Austria and Hungary (Late 18th Century)—An Improvement in Fitting Historical Topographic Maps to Modern Cartographic Systems
Gábor Timár
Map mosaics of the First Military Survey showing Lower Austria and Hungary (two separate zones and coordinate systems of 1:28,800 survey sections) were georeferenced. Compared to the previous fitting carried out in the framework of the publicly available MAPIRE project, an attempt was made here to determine the true native projections, despite the assumption, according to the literature, that these map works have no real geodetic basis and no real cartographic projection. In the case of Lower Austria, the native coordinate system of the Brno–Wien–Varaždin degree measurement of Father Joseph Liesganig, the Cassini projection centred on Stephansdom in Vienna, proved to be the survey’s own projection. In Hungary, in addition to the centre of a similar degree measurement, a fundamental point of the also documented Budapest-surrounding network of Colonel Neu proved to be a possible starting point of the Cassini projection used. Thus, with these centres, the Cassini projection is a good mathematical model for the native coordinate system of the surveys in these provinces. This achievement opens the possibility of better georeferencing of old maps of the survey, providing a database of land use and environmental change analyses and a step forward in understanding the survey technology of the 18th century.
Salt Tolerance of <i>Limonium gmelinii</i> subsp. <i>hungaricum</i> as a Potential Ornamental Plant for Secondary Salinized Soils
Péter Honfi, Eman Abdelhakim Eisa, Andrea Tilly-Mándy
et al.
Secondary salinization caused by climate change is a growing global problem. Searching for plants that can survive in areas with high salt content and even have decorative value was the focus of our research. Thirty plants of <i>Limonium gmelinii</i> subsp. <i>hungaricum</i> were planted in clear river sand; another thirty plants were planted in Pindstrup, a growing substrate enriched with 40% clay. With the latter, we modeled the natural soil. In addition to the control tap-water treatment, plants received 50, 125, 250, 375, and 500 mM NaCl solution irrigation twice a week. The leaf sizes of plants planted in sand decreased proportionally with the increasing NaCl concentration, and their dry matter content increased. In the clay-containing medium, leaf sizes increased, even at a concentration of 375 mM, although the dry matter content increased only at high concentrations. Carotene content in both media became higher, due to the higher NaCl concentrations, while proline content in the plants grown in sandy media increased, even with the 125 mM concentration. With our present experiment we proved the salt tolerance of the taxon, and even the soil’s great importance in supporting the plant’s salt tolerance.
Navigating Second Generation Memory and Auto/ biography in Home Video. A Video Collection of Hojda Stojka, Son of Artist and Survivor of the Porajmos Ceija Stojka
Renée Winter
This paper investigates home videos made by Hojda Stojka, the son of Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), artist and survivor of Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and Bergen-Belsen. Based on a close reading of significant video sequences, a narrative interview with the videographer, and Ceija Stojka’s publications and films, it analyses how the auto/biographical videos relate to the persecution of the parents’ generation. The paper focuses on the importance of spaces like kitchens, cars and stages, on the value assigned to auto/biographical audiovisual recordings, and the recontextualization and integration of photographs and television recordings into the family memory.

Negative time perspective predicts the self-perceived affective and physical components of pain independently from depression, anxiety, and early life circumstances
Eszter Simon, András N. Zsidó, Béla Birkás
et al.
People's attitudes toward time, the time perspectives (TPs) rooted in past experiences, might be crucial for the emotional evaluation of life events, such as painful situations. In a survey-based study (N = 353), we investigated the relationship of TPs with the self-perceived affective and physical aspects of pain. Specifically, we hypothesised that past-negative TP would be associated with a negative emotional appraisal of pain characterised by higher pain-related catastrophizing, fear, and physical sensitivity to pain. We tested this hypothesis with hierarchical regression models, adding depression, anxiety, and variables of early life circumstances to the model stepwise. Early life circumstances (i.e., socioeconomic status, household unpredictability, and family resources) were measured retrospectively using questionnaires. In addition, based on the results of the regression analyses, we built a structural equation model (SEM) and tested whether past-negative mediates the effect of household unpredictability toward emotional and physical appraisal of pain. We found that individuals scoring high on past-negative TP had greater pain catastrophizing, pain-related fear, and sensitivity to pain. Further, there was evidence that these associations are independent from depression, anxiety, and early life circumstances. Finally, SEM analysis suggested that unpredictable early life circumstances were directed toward intense, negatively emotionalised pain perception via the mediation of the past-negative TP. The findings generally support the view that pain behaviour is formed by emotional states and attitudes that are linked to past experiences that are not necessarily specific to the context of pain.
Genetic analysis of male Hungarian Conquerors: European and Asian paternal lineages of the conquering Hungarian tribes
E. Fóthi, Á. González, T. Fehér
et al.
According to historical sources, ancient Hungarians were made up of seven allied tribes and the fragmented tribes that split off from the Khazars, and they arrived from the Eastern European steppes to conquer the Carpathian Basin at the end of the ninth century AD. Differentiating between the tribes is not possible based on archaeology or history, because the Hungarian Conqueror artifacts show uniformity in attire, weaponry, and warcraft. We used Y-STR and SNP analyses on male Hungarian Conqueror remains to determine the genetic source, composition of tribes, and kin of ancient Hungarians. The 19 male individuals paternally belong to 16 independent haplotypes and 7 haplogroups (C2, G2a, I2, J1, N3a, R1a, and R1b). The presence of the N3a haplogroup is interesting because it rarely appears among modern Hungarians (unlike in other Finno-Ugric-speaking peoples) but was found in 37.5% of the Hungarian Conquerors. This suggests that a part of the ancient Hungarians was of Ugric descent and that a significant portion spoke Hungarian. We compared our results with public databases and discovered that the Hungarian Conquerors originated from three distant territories of the Eurasian steppes, where different ethnicities joined them: Lake Baikal-Altai Mountains (Huns/Turkic peoples), Western Siberia-Southern Urals (Finno-Ugric peoples), and the Black Sea-Northern Caucasus (Caucasian and Eastern European peoples). As such, the ancient Hungarians conquered their homeland as an alliance of tribes, and they were the genetic relatives of Asiatic Huns, Finno-Ugric peoples, Caucasian peoples, and Slavs from the Eastern European steppes.

Short-Term Hydrological Drought Forecasting Based on Different Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithms Hybridized With Artificial Neural Networks
Narjes Nabipour, Majid Dehghani, Amir Mosavi
et al.
Hydrological drought forecasting plays a substantial role in water resources management. Hydrological drought highly affects the water allocation and hydropower generation. In this research, short term hydrological drought forecasted based on the hybridized of novel nature-inspired optimization algorithms and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). For this purpose, the Standardized Hydrological Drought Index (SHDI) and the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) were calculated in one, three, and six aggregated months. Then, three states where proposed for SHDI forecasting, and 36 input-output combinations were extracted based on the cross-correlation analysis. In the next step, newly proposed optimization algorithms, including Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), Salp Swarm algorithm (SSA), Biogeography-based optimization (BBO), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized with the ANN were utilized for SHDI forecasting and the results compared to the conventional ANN. Results indicated that the hybridized model outperformed compared to the conventional ANN. PSO performed better than the other optimization algorithms. The best models forecasted SHDI1 with R2 = 0.68 and RMSE = 0.58, SHDI3 with R<sup>2</sup> = 0.81 and RMSE = 0.45 and SHDI6 with R<sup>2</sup> = 0.82 and RMSE = 0.40.

THE EFFECTS OF SOME AGRI FOOD TRADE RELATIONSHIPS CONCERNING BREXIT IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Miklós Vásáry
The aim of the study is to examine which part of agricultural and food trade between Visegrad countries and the United Kingdom is threatened by Brexit. On 23 June 2016, the United Kingdom voted in a referendum to leave the European Union, but this has not yet taken place, though it should have happened by 29 March 2019. Therefore, it remains uncertain and the conditions the exit remain to be seen. In the absence of a final agreement, it is only possible to determine currently competitive sectors that could remain in this situation in the future, too. Competitiveness studies can provide guidance to determine expected effects. For products with a lower competitiveness value, turnover is expected to decrease due to changing regulations or increasing duties. Based on the long-term analysis of agri-food trade values of the parties, it is clear that markets are sufficiently diversified. So British withdrawal will not result in significant consequences in the case of Visegrad countries. In terms of trade relations, highly processed products are expected to be competitive in the future.

Traditional Cattle Grazing in a Mosaic Alkali Landscape: Effects on Grassland Biodiversity along a Moisture Gradient
P. Török, O. Valkó, B. Deák
et al.
Extensively managed pastures are of crucial importance in sustaining biodiversity both in local- and landscape-level. Thus, re-introduction of traditional grazing management is a crucial issue in grassland conservation actions worldwide. Traditional grazing with robust cattle breeds in low stocking rates is considered to be especially useful to mimic natural grazing regimes, but well documented case-studies are surprisingly rare on this topic. Our goal was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Hungarian Grey cattle grazing as a conservation action in a mosaic alkali landscape. We asked the following questions: (i) How does cattle grazing affect species composition and diversity of the grasslands? (ii) What are the effects of grazing on short-lived and perennial noxious species? (iii) Are there distinct effects of grazing in dry-, mesophilous- and wet grassland types? Vegetation of fenced and grazed plots in a 200-ha sized habitat complex (secondary dry grasslands and pristine mesophilous- and wet alkali grasslands) was sampled from 2006–2009 in East-Hungary. We found higher diversity scores in grazed plots compared to fenced ones in mesophilous- and wet grasslands. Higher cover of noxious species was typical in fenced plots compared to their grazed counterparts in the last year in every studied grassland type. We found an increasing effect of grazing from the dry- towards the wet grassland types. The year-to-year differences also followed similar pattern: the site-dependent effects were the lowest in the dry grassland and an increasing effect was detected along the moisture gradient. We found that extensive Hungarian Grey cattle grazing is an effective tool to suppress noxious species and to create a mosaic vegetation structure, which enables to maintain high species richness in the landscape. Hungarian Grey cattle can feed in open habitats along long moisture gradient, thus in highly mosaic landscapes this breed can be the most suitable livestock type.
