An Iconic Late Neolithic Tell on the Hungarian Plain
It often happens that the fresh investigation of well-known sites using newly developed techniques and their reassessment brings the recognition that some of the assertions believed to be timelessly true turn out to have been strongly mistaken or were misinterpretations. This has been the case with many of the renowned Late Neolithic tell settlements dated to the earlier fifth millennium BC on the Alföld (Great Hungarian Plain). The collation of …
Egy ikonikus késő neolitikus tell-település az Alföldön
Előfordul, hogy régóta jól ismert lelőhelyek új módszerekkel végzett mai kutatása és újraértékelése közben néhány örök érvényűnek gondolt tézisről kiderül, hogy pusztán tévedés, félreértelmezés. A híres alföldi, az 5. évezred első felére keltezett késő újkőkori tell-településekkel sok esetben szintén ez történik. Az utóbbi években a múlt századi ásatási adatok mellett mind roncsolásmentes vizsgálatok, mind pedig új feltárások eredményeinek összeh…
Diverse Sexual Definitions and Their Predictors Among Adolescents
Introduction Inconsistency of sexual definitions may lead to misunderstandings when evaluating research data or delivering health education. Diverse sexual definitions are especially common with unidirectional genital contacts (only one participant is involved with their genitals). Our aim was to analyze sexual definitions of adolescents and the role of age, gender, previous sexual experience, anxiety, and body image as possible determinants of u…
Tobacco Smoking and Smokeless Tobacco Use among Domestic and International Medical Students in Hungary
Medical students as future physicians will have an important role in tobacco control; therefore, their tobacco use behavior is of particular interest. Consumption of combustible tobacco (cigarettes, waterpipes, cigars, and pipes) is prevalent throughout Europe, whereas smokeless tobacco use is common mainly in the Nordic countries. Objectives: Aim of our study is to assess tobacco use among medical students from different countries studying in Hu…
Increasing Prevalence of Electronic Cigarette Use among Medical Students. Repeated Cross-Sectional Multicenter Surveys in Germany and Hungary, 2016–2018
Background Use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) is gaining popularity among young adults. Medical students' nicotine use behavior is of particular interest because of their impending role in health promotion. Objectives: Aim of our study is to assess changes that occurred between 2016 and 2018 in the prevalence of e-cigarette use among medical students and to explore associations between e-cigarette use, demographic characteristics, and ci…
Petrological Analysis of Late Neolithic Ceramics from the Tell Settlement of Gorzsa (South-East Hungary)
Technology is usually defined as the processes and practices associated with production and consumption, from design to discard; hence, pottery use is a part of complex social interactions that constitute technological systems. The functional analysis comprises several different lines of investigation. This chapter is focused on the intended function of the Early (Starcevo) and Late Neolithic (Vinca) pottery. By examining formal properties (fabri…
Pertussis vaccination status and vaccine acceptance among medical students
Positive attitudes towards vaccinations were reported but a large group reported insufficient vaccination status and being not aware of their status, especially among international students. Hungarians possibly have a better vaccination status than reported, based on mandatory vaccinations in childhood. The low awareness of vaccination status has implications for future booster vaccinations. All students should be informed about current recommend…
Cigarette, waterpipe and e-cigarette use among an international sample of medical students. Cross-sectional multicenter study in Germany and Hungary
Cigarette smoking is still the most popular way of consuming tobacco, although alternative tobacco use is also prevalent among medical students. To further health consciousness, medical schools should pay more attention to students' health behavior, especially their smoking habits. Tobacco prevention and cessation programs for medical students should consider not only the health risks of cigarette smoking but the need to discourage other forms of…

Do socio-cultural factors influence medical students’ health status and health-promoting behaviors? A cross-sectional multicenter study in Germany and Hungary
Based on our study, gender and study year played only a minor role in the health status and health promotion beliefs and activities of medical students. Structural (study site) and somewhat socio-cultural factors (nationality, financial situation) mainly explained the differences regarding health promoting behaviors. Obligatory, free-of-charge courses for health promotion (activity and relaxation) should be included in study curriculums

A szegedi vár és gótikus vártemplomának régészeti kutatása 1999 és 2010 között
A tanulmány összefoglalja a középkori – és török kori – szegedi vár és a hozzá tartozó gótikus vártemplom építéstörténetére vonatkozó legfontosabb történeti és régészeti adatokat, valamint ismerteti az 1999 és 2010 között végzett feltárások főbb eredményeit. A vár és a vártemplom korhatározásához új radiokarbon és habarcsmintából készült koradatokat ismertet
Mitochondrial DNA of Ancient Cumanians
The Cumanians were originally Asian pastoral nomads who in the 13th century migrated to Hungary. We have examined mitochondrial DNA from members of the earliest Cumanian population in Hungary from two archeologically well-documented excavations and from 74 modern Hungarians from different rural locations in Hungary. Haplogroups were defined based on HVS I sequences and examinations of haplogroup-associated polymorphic sites of the protein coding …
Duration of Tell Settlements at Four Prehistoric Sites in Hungary
The chief objective of this paper is to improve our understanding of the Neolithic in eastern Hungary using absolute chronological data. To accomplish this we calibrated new measurements as well as previously published dates. The up-to-date, standardized evaluation of 147 calibrated measurements showed temporal overlaps between archaeological cultures defined on the basis of ceramic styles. The average timespan of tell settlements of 285 yr was o…
Re-Evaluation of the Neolithic in Eastern Hungary Based on Calibrated Radiocarbon Dates
The chief objective of this paper is to improve our understanding of the Neolithic in Eastern Hungary using absolute chronological data. To accomplish this we calibrated new measurements as well as previously published dates. The up-to-date, standardized evaluation of 261 calibrated measurements showed temporal overlaps between archaeological cultures defined on the basis of ceramic styles. The increasing number of dates suggest that the Neolithi…
Radiocarbon Chronology of Late Neolithic Settlements in the Tisza-Maros Region, Hungary
We investigated chronological questions of five Late Neolithic settlements in the Hungarian Tisza-Maros region. Fifty new radiocarbon dates provide an internal chronology for the developmental phases of the tell settlements, and place them into the wider framework of the southeastern European Neolithic. An example is presented of how a unique type of stratigraphic excavation helps the interpretation of radiocarbon data, which are in contradiction…
Radiocarbon and Thermoluminescence Dating of Prehistoric Sites in Hungary and Yugoslavia
Direct dating by simultaneous independent physical methods is of particular interest to prehistoric archaeology in central Europe. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence measurements were made to date two tell settlements in the Carpathian Basin: the Late Neolithic site at Gorzsa (southeast Hungary) and the Eneolithic site of Vučedol (east Croatia, Yugoslavia). Samples from Gorzsa span from the Szakalhát to the Proto-Tiszapolgár periods, while most i…
