The role of bodies of water in settlement names referring to the natural environment
Open AccessÉva KovácsARTICLEOnomastica2024
In this essay I examine the relationship of settlement names with bodies of water and places associated with water. I point out the role of water and hydronyms in the formation of the settlement name type and the form in which they are present in early Old Hungarian settlement names. The vast majority of the settlement names have only a single constituent: metonymy, name-giving without a formant occurs in 85% of the names (e.g. Ér settlement name…

Structural Types of Settlement Names Referring to the Natural Environment
Open AccessÉva KovácsARTICLENamenkundliche Informationen2021
In this paper I study the structural types of settlement names referring to the natural environment and highlight what kind of semantic and lexical- morphological models characterize the particular name structures and when and in what proportion they appeared in sources of the Old Hungarian Era. Among the basic name structural types of settlement names referring to the natural environment, more than half of the name corpus is made up by single-co…
Black Bodies, White Bodies – ‘Gypsy’ Images in Central Europe at the Turn of the Twentieth Century (1880–1920)
Open AccessÉva KovácsARTICLECritical Romani Studies2021
The problem of the observer has long been a key concern of social theories. However, in mainstream sociology, it was not until three decades ago that the relationship between image and text, seeing and gaze, appeared on the horizon of the discipline. Studying the visual representation of Roma in Modernity, one sees how CentralEuropean societies create their own sexualised and feminised Blackness through ‘savage’ groups and individuals. The centra…
The effect of smileys as motivational incentives on children’s fruit and vegetable choice, consumption and waste: A field experiment in schools in five European countries
Open AccessWencke Gwozdz, Lucia A Reisch et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2020Cited by: 3References: 8
To assess whether smiley stamps work as a motivational incentive to promote fruit and vegetable eating among children, we conducted a field experiment in ten primary schools in five European countries using one control and one treatment school per country. The six-week experiment was split into three two-week phases before, during and after the smiley was implemented. During the smiley phase, the children received a smiley stamp for choosing a po…
Toponymic Findings in Latin-language Medieval Hungarian Charters: Classification, Structural and Motivational Features
Open AccessÉva KovácsARTICLEВопросы ономастики2019
Топонимы, встречающиеся в исторических документах, значимы не только для ономастики и исторической лингвистики, они являются ценными источниками информации для таких научных дисциплин, как история, историческая география и этнография.

Limits of Universalization: The European Memory Sites of Genocide
Éva KovácsARTICLEJournal of Genocide Research2018Cited by: 1
The twentieth century became known as the era of genocides. However, historians do not yet agree on the use of the category of genocide for all mass killings in the twentieth century and still are debating their place in European civilization. My article focuses on the European lieux de mémoire of the genocides within the associative framework of the fundamental question about the material evidence of crime. This framework helps highlight the lim…
Winners and losers as mangrove, coral and seagrass ecosystems respond to sea-level rise in Solomon Islands
Open AccessSimon Albert, Megan I Saunders et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017
A 2007 earthquake in the western Solomon Islands resulted in a localised subsidence event in which sea level (relative to the previous coastal settings) rose approximately 30–70 cm, providing insight into impacts of future rapid changes to sea level on coastal ecosystems. Here, we show that increasing sea level by 30–70 cm can have contrasting impacts on mangrove, seagrass and coral reef ecosystems. Coral reef habitats were the clear winners with…

Overcoming History through Trauma. The Hungarian Historikerstreit
Open AccessÉva KovácsARTICLEEuropean Review2016Cited by: 5References: 1
In the mid-summer of 2012, a sort of Historikerstreit broke out in Hungary. The main topics of the controversy were the language of and the attitude to the history of the Holocaust. In what follows I will argue that the Hungarian Historikerstreit is closely related to both the renaissance of the Horthy era (1920–1944) in current Hungarian politics and the ambivalent attitude towards the Holocaust in public memory. Since 2010, Hungary has celebrat…

Individual and family environmental correlates of television and computer time in 10- to 12-year-old European children: The Energy-project

Most evidence was found for an association between screen time and individual and parental social environmental factors, which means that future interventions aiming to reduce screen time should focus on children's individual beliefs and habits as well parental social factors. As we identified some different correlates for television and computer time and across countries, cross-European interventions could make small adaptations per specific scr…

Interchanged identities: The role of a Jewish school in a mixed marriage

Research was conducted at two Jewish schools founded in Budapest in 1989, using the method of narrative biographical interviews and hermeneutic case analysis. Many children of mixed marriages or non-Jewish families attend these schools. Using the case analysis of a family in which the father is from a Jewish survivor family and the mother has an anti-Semitic background, the mixed marriage pattern “interchanged identities” is examined. The couple …
