Field studies were undertaken for two consecutive seasons to evaluate the bioefficacy of cyazypyr 10% OD, a new molecule belonging to anthranilic diamide group of insecticides, along with imidacloprid 17.8% SL and fipronil 5% SC as standard checks, against the insect pest complex of tomato vis-à-vis its impact on natural enemies and crop health. The toxicity of cyazypyr 10% OD and four other molecules, each at two doses (diluted in 600l water), against the pupal stage of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, an important egg parasitoid of Helicoverpa armigera Hubn., was evaluated in the laboratory. Cyazypyr 10% OD @ 90 and 105 g a.i./ha was highly effective in controlling the fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera Hubn., aphid, Aphis gossypii Glov. and white fly, Bemisia tabaci Gen., and increasing the yield of marketable fruits. This insecticide @ 60-105 g a.i./ha effectively controlled the leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii Burg. Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 22.5 g a.i./ha and fipronil 5% SC @ 60 g a.i./ha were also highly effective in controlling the pests. Considering the bioefficacy and yield, cyazypyr 10% OD @ 90 g a.i./ha may be recommended for effective control of pest complex of tomato. Cyazypyr 10% OD @ 45–105 g a.i./ha did not significantly reduce the field population of natural enemies and was safe to the crop even @ 360 g a.i./ha. In laboratory test, cyazypyr @ 90 and 60 g a.i./ha found to be safe to T. pretiosum Riley pupae, causing only 23.17 and 20.73% mortality, respectively.
Clara Schumann gave her first Pest concerts in February 1856. A survey of the enthusiastic reviews reveals that she was received as the foremost representative of “classic art,” whose performances gave the Hungarian public—until then mostly admiring exhibitionist virtuosos—an entirely new idea about what music was capable of. The moral superiority of Clara seemed also confirmed by her generous donation to the future National Conservatory, which was initially commented on in the most flattering terms in the press. In early March, however, the Pester Lloyd aired that the generous donation may not have been absolutely voluntary, an anonymous go-between having forcefully talked the pianist into financially supporting the institution. Induced by the recent discovery of Clara Schumann’s original deed of foundation (acquired in July 2011 by the Music Collection of the National Széchényi Library) this article seeks to reconstruct the story in some detail by rehearsing the press debate surrounding the donation, exploring the financial situation of the Music Society of Pest-Buda in the 1850s, scrutinizing the minutes of its board meetings, as well as comparing Clara Schumann’s contribution with those given by other traveling musicians.

An Attempt to Solving Some Hungarian Goldsmith'S Marks XIV.
Abstract
Similarly to its predecessors, the 14th installment of the time-honoured series adds new goldsmith's marks to the ones known from earlier publications (Elemér Kőszeghy 1936, Ilona P. Brestyánszky 1977). On the basis of registry research it provides new data on 18–19th century goldsmiths with additional information from urban censuses. This time Pest-based goldsmiths are highlighted from the first half of the 19th century, on the basis of works by József Blettl, József Redl, János Hoser and Kristóf Holl that cropped up in the art market, followed by Eperjes-based David Schuller's and the Nagyvárad goldsmith István Nádudvary's works, the latter owned by the Calvinist diocese. After identifying marks from Besztercebánya and Rimaszombat, the paper enlarges upon the Rozsnyó master Samuel Bablirik's works in public and private collections. From former Southern Hungary (today Serbia) the masters of Nagybecskerek (Zrenjanin) and Szabadka (Subotica) are introduced, together with their clientele: Martinus Zimmerer, Johann Christian Parbs, the goldsmiths called Nikolits and the noted Vojnich family.
Az újabb ásatások során Pest megyében több, az 5. század első felére keltezhető lelőhely vált ismertté. Köztük egy település részlete Biatorbágy, Káposztás-dűlőben, amely az első ilyen korú feltárt telep a megye dunántúli részén. Leletanyagában keverednek a késő római és kora népvándorlás kori tárgyak. Különösen jelentős a csontfésűk nagy száma. A tanulmány megkísérli a tárgyalt korszakon belül –összekapcsolva hasonló korú leletekkel –időrendi sorrendbe állítani a Páty és Biatorbágy térségében feltárt új lelőhelyeket.

Attempt at deciphering some Hungarian goldsmith’s marks XV.
As the next step in a series of publications, the author presents so-far unpublished maker marks and mark variants found in art collections and the art trade, trying to decipher the newly found ones. Concerning already known marks, he relies basically on Elemér Kőszeghy’s book of marks and when the Pest-Buda marks are considered, the work of Ilona P. Brestyányszky is consulted. Additional information is now provided, and some earlier information corrected, about the 19th century goldsmiths of Buda, Pest, Arad, Besztercebánya, Kolozsvár, Lőcse, Nagyvárad, Pápa, Rozsnyó, Veszprém on the basis of registers of births, marriages and deaths and other lists. In the appendix there is a tabular summary of the exhibition and art trade occurrences of artifacts bearing the hallmark of the Kolozsvár goldsmith Sándor Erdődi who worked in the 1840s and ‘50s.
Wheat cultivation is of great significance in North-western plains of India and the crop was hitherto considered as almost free from serious insect attack. Recently, Pink stem borer (PSB), Sesamia inferens Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) has emerged as a new pest and is likely to pose serious threat to the successful cultivation of wheat in the North-western plains of India under largely adopted rice-wheat cropping system. Because of the paucity of data on the developmental biology of PSB on wheat crop regarding this emerging problem of insect damage, studies were initiated on biology of PSB under field as well as screenhouse conditions during seasons of 2010–2011 and 2011–2012. This is the first report on biology of PSB on wheat which indicated that the pest was able to survive well/build up populations on wheat and able to complete its life cycle. It laid eggs either at the base of wheat plant near to soil level or on soil-surface or in the left over stubble of rice plants. Eggs hatched within 7.40±0.08 days and the mean larval duration was 68.52±1.55 days. In the course of development, it passed through 8 larval instars and pupation took place near or within the left over rice stubble. Pupal period was 36.05±0.36 days in male while 37.78±0.17 days in female. The survival of adult moths was 5.31±0.26 days in male while 6.61±0.26 days in female. The mean fecundity was 118.38±11.93 eggs and 89.15 per cent of eggs hatched. The total life cycle took 116.92±2.17 and 119.95±2.05 days in males and females, respectively.
„Akit a sors kiemelt a többi festő közül” Schervitz Mátyás (†1771) budai Festő oltárképei
Altarpieces of Buda painter Mátyás Schervitz (†1771)
Mátyás Schervitz (Buda ? – Buda 1771) was a popular and highly esteemed artist in Buda-Víziváros in his time, as his epitaph also proves. The painter of Illyrian origin occurs by a variety of name forms in the sources: Scherviz, Scherwiz, Scherwitz, Scheravitz, Scheravics, Seravits, Scherevitsch, Scherevitz, Scherowitz, Schibiz, Szeravics, Xeravich. The hypothetical dates of his birth and death proposed by his first monographer Arnold Schoen (Mathias Tarvitz, c. 1701–1771, St Anne Parish Church of Upper Víziváros) can only be questioned in theory by the more recently discovered works painted in 1768–69, for the registers of the Franciscan Church of St Francis’s Wounds – to which the family presumably belonged – are latent at present.
The painter Schervitz became a registered citizen of Buda in 1741. He received several minor assignments (such as flag painting, gilding, marbling, ephemeral triumphal arches) and some greater jobs (paintings for the high altars of the St Catherine Church in Tabán and the St Elisabeth Church in Víziváros, and the fresco in the sanctuary of the Újlak church) in Buda, but these works have perished over the centuries. The ruined St Elisabeth altarpiece of the Capuchins of Víziváros (1760) is known from a photo. A documented work by his hand is the fresco decoration of the library room at the Ráday mansion in Pécel dated 1763. The St Ivo altarpiece of the Óbuda parish church (1759) was added to the oeuvre after style critical analyses, similarly to the sanctuary frescoes in the Church of St Francis’s Wounds (1756).
The key to the altar painting style of Mátyás Schervitz is provided by the altarpieces (St Anne, St Francis Seraphicus) in the former Franciscan church of Dunaföldvár painted in 1768 and certified with archival data. His Immaculate Conception with Adam and Eve in the same church was also identified by its style. With their help, the picture of the bye-altar showing the Stigmatization of St Francis in the former Franciscan church of Zombor (1769) and the high altar picture (1756), as well as the altarpiece of St Margaret of Cortona (1756) in the church of St Francis’s Wounds in Víziváros can now be safely attributed to him. These works help us recognize Schervitz’s brushwork on the altarpiece of the high altar in the former Dominican church of Pest (c. 1760) showing the founder of the order St Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin. The Guardian Angel altarpiece in the Franciscan church of Vác can also be recognized as his work. Research presumes that the artist working at such high level of quality was educated in Vienna; the clue to identifying his master lies perhaps in his faultless presentation of architectural space. Mátyás Schervitz applied the conventional baroque oil painting technique (canvas support built from several pieces, yellow ground, patch painting). His anatomical knowledge was excellent, his rendering of space virtuosic, his figures are lively, proportionately built and markedly characterized. He did not sign any of his so-far known works.

Attempting to resolve some Hungarian goldsmith’s marks XVI
Going on with a series of articles, I present again some so-far unknown maker’s marks and mark variants in private collections and the art trade, and try to identify them. When already published marks are at issue, Elemér Kőszeghy’s book of marks is referred to, and Ilona P. Brestyánszky’s work is mentioned with the mark’s serial number there when marks of Pest-Buda are discussed. I try to clarify the biography of goldsmiths active in Hungarian towns on the basis of archival research, first of all with parish register data. In the appendix I give a list of gold- and silversmiths named in the registers of the Israelite community of Óbuda between 1851 and 1895, and those in the census of 1850.
Kis rizikójú differenciált pajzsmirigydaganatok retrospektív analízise: lobectomia a megfelelő választás?
Retrospective analysis of low-risk differentiated thyroid tumours: is lobectomy the adequate approach?
Bevezetés: Az 1–4 cm közötti (T1b–2) kis rizikójú differenciált pajzsmirigy-carcinomás (DTC) betegek kezelésénél az Amerikai Pajzsmirigy Társaság (ATA) 2015. évi irányelve alapján lobectomia végzendő radiojód-terápia nélkül. Célkitűzés: T1–2-es stádiumú betegeink sebészeti és szövettani eredményeinek retrospektív vizsgálata a többgócúság szempontjából. Módszer: A Pest Megyei Flór Ferenc Kórház Endokrin Ambulanciáján 2013 és 2019 között megjelent 81, teljes thyreoidectomián átesett, kis rizikójú (T1–2-es stádium) beteg patológiai adatainak feldolgozását végeztük. Eredmények: 64 beteg T1-, 17 beteg T2-stádiumú volt. 65/81 (80,2%) papillaris és 16/81 (19,8%) follicularis csoportú volt. A T1–2-es stádiumú papillaris betegek 18,4%-ában volt nyirokcsomóáttét, míg a follicularis betegek esetében 18%-ban. Távoli áttét nem volt. A T1-stádiumú betegek 25%-a volt multifokális (16/64): ebből 10,9% az egyik lebenyben (7/64), 14,1% mindkét lebenyben/isthmusban (9/64) helyezkedett el. A T2-stádiumú betegek 11,7%-a volt multifokális (2/17), mindkettő bilaterális. A T1–2 bilaterális multifokális betegek (11/81; 13,5%) megoszlása: 3 T1a-, 6 T1b- és 2 T2-stádiumú; ezen betegekből 10 részesült radiojód-kezelésben. Az ellenoldali daganat mérete 9 esetben <5 mm, 2 esetben >5 mm volt. Következtetés: A T1–2 DTC-s betegekben észlelt gyakori (13,5%), bilaterális többgócú folyamat miatt a pontosabb stádium- és rizikómeghatározás céljából megfontolandó a teljes thyreoidectomia végzése lobectomia helyett, ugyanis multifokalitást észlelve radiojód-kezelés válhat szükségessé. Lobectomia esetén az ellenoldali kicsiny daganatméret (átlagosan 2,8 mm) és a gyakori benignus göbök miatt az ultrahangvizsgálattal történő pre- és posztoperatív kimutatás szinte lehetetlen, így a multifokalitás teljes pajzsmirigy-eltávolítás nélkül nem feltétlenül kerül felismerésre, ami torzíthatja az onkológiai döntést. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(27): 1074–1081.
