The aim of this article was to analyze the structure and plot of the Kadesh crisis (Numbers 13–14) through narrative analysis, discussing the repetitions in the text based on literary theory. The pericope was analyzed as part of a literary sequence of conflicts in the desert (Numbers 11,1–21,9). The proposal for its structure was based on the type scenes of inheritance campaigns and accounts of post-Sinai conflicts, as well as the consideration of the scenes based on a chiastic parallelism. The analysis of the plot revealed a model constructed as a complex unity around obedience and disobedience to Yhwh, even though being a composite pericope, legitimizing the instances of mediation with the people: Moses and Aaron. The analysis of the repetition present in the double verdict speech reveals that the repetition illustrates art, sophistication, and serves as a foundation for the unity of a story analyzed in the light of literary theory.

A közlemény az ónodi vár (Északkelet-Magyarország) 1985-1991 közötti feltárása során előkerült kályhacsempe-leletanyagból mutat be két csoportot. A III. sz. csoport többnyire színes mázas csempéit 11, részben a 16. század első feléből eredő, részben későbbi eredetű típusba lehetett sorolni. A IV. sz. csoport zöld mázas 10 típusát 1550-1570 között, illetve a század utolsó harmadában legalább 4 műhely készítette. A bemutatott típusok dokumentálják a mai Északkelet-Magyaroszág mezővárosaiban és végváraiban a kályhás mesterség termékeinek fokozódó elterjedését a 16. század második felében.

The purpose of the study. To present what concepts existed for the utilization of the thermal resources of the Southern Transdanubian region, both at the national and county level. Next, examine the impact of the international Thermal Project, which started in the 1970s, on the spa culture of the region, primarily on the spa culture. Applied methods. Primarily a literature review in the field of economic policy and spa history. I examined the literature on socialist economic policy and incorporated the results of my research into the information found there. The literature research was followed by the study of contemporary press and legislation. At the end of the systematic investigation, useful information was provided with relevant press reports and adequate source criticism. An important part of the research was archival research, in which national and county-level party documents and council documents were processed. Outcomes. As a result of the party decree of 1957 and the ministerial decree of 1960, the pace of hydrocarbon research increased at the same time, as a result of which thermal wells were discovered one after the other, and the demand for the development of tourism appeared at the same time. Together, this resulted in the development of spa culture based on thermal wells being put on the agenda at the local, county and national levels. Starting in the 1960s, concepts appeared one after another for the use of thermal water for tourism purposes, to boost tourism and increase the country's foreign exchange earnings. The national water management framework plan was created, and county plans were created for the development of spas. By the 1970s, taking advantage of the milder political climate, the primary goal became the utilization of the country's thermal resources, and it initiated cooperation with the UN under the name Thermal Project. A joint management planning group was created, in which Hungarian and international specialists and numerous institutions of the country participated. After a lot of preparation and the creation of a schedule, the project died after the implementation of the first phase. The implementation of the big plan was thus left for the times after the regime change.

a several decades long history in teaching. During this period, he taught a large number of students in agriculture with an up-to-date agrobotanical knowledge, and launched the career of or had a great impact on many field botanists working in nature conservation. His ability to identify plants is excellent, and he did pass this knowledge on. Besides his huge fascination for plants, his precision, broad and well-founded knowledge serve exemplary for us. Professor Almádi's rich life is presented in this tribute paper based on his personal stories and written publications, and is supplemented with our own memories, experiences. We cordially greet our Professor on the occasion of his birthday!

Az alábbi írás Kaposvár (illetve jórészt egész Somogy vármegye) 1913-1948 közti cserkészmúltjának mintegy négyéves kutatómunkával feltárt forrásain alapul. Munkánk során a Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár Somogy Megyei Levéltárában található elsődleges írott forrásokat, valamint a témát érintő minden hozzáférhető korabeli kiadványt, illetve sajtóterméket feldolgoztunk. A forrásközlési résszel mintegy húsz szerzői ívre rúgó kézirat elkészítését a Nemzeti Kulturális Alap Ismeretterjesztés és Környezetkultúra Kollégiuma 2017-2018 során alkotói támogatásban részesítette. A somogyi zsidó cserkészet múltjának további kutatása főleg a Magyar Zsidó Múzeum és Levéltárban található iratokban lehetséges (ezt részben korábban elvégeztük), azonban egyelőre erre a járványügyi helyzet miatt nincs lehetőség. Köszönettel tartozunk Varga Katának, aki a Magyar Cserkészszövetség Gödöllőn őrzött irataiból kutatásának somogyi vonatkozásait rendelkezésünkre bocsátotta.

Life and death of Prince Miklós Odescalchi, member of the anti-nazi resistanance, who was executed in 1945. Many unknown details of his life are described in detail, like his flying career, sport achievements, car-related issues, etc. It was released in a conference proceedings, titled 'The vanished and discovered world of the Lónyays (A Lónyayak eltűnt és felfedezett világa, 2023. pp. 446-466.)

Summary on the construction history of the Kremzir-palace at Barcs
In the course of research - on the basis of archived sources - it was possible to certify that the building that - operated as a town court from the 1950’-ies - was built in 1885 as a dwelling house for Károly Kremzir (1818-1888) who was coming from a Jewish family (Kremsier na Kromeriz) from Moravia and managed his farm at Barcstelep from there. The farm buildings were located in the yard of the palace - of them only one has been saved in a deteriorated but still recoverable state. As an attachment included in the Client’s request submitted for the approval of construction, the floor plan of the planned storeyed building was found, and it presented a rather accurate drawing showing the state existed that time. On the basis of the on-site observations and the disclosed sources it was possible to show the phases of construction - in addition to the history of the lot and the ownership. Following the Client’s death, the inheritors completed smaller transformations in the facility. In 1942 the palace went into the ownership of the National Land Trust Institute and 10 years later to the Hungarian State. In 1952 the Town Court was moved into the building. That time larger transformations were completed in the interior. In the course of the research, the on-site observations received a great emphasis as all the internal plastering of the building was removed due to a fungus disease in the middle of the 1980’-ies and also the indoor openings were dismantled (and placed in the steading otherwise some of them could certainly have been refitted). Thus to evaulate the condition no wall surveying with a physical destruction was required as it had been „completed” with masonry methods three decades earlier. It is possible that the building master can be found among the masters of the Széchenyi palace at Somogytamóc (1873) or of constructions completed that time at Szigetvár. In spite of the fact that the building has no an outstanding art historical; artistical or historical value for the country or the South-Transdanubian region, we think its due protection and utilization absolutely necessary especially considering that for its more modest artistical qualities it is more endangeared and belongs to the row of historical monuments most exposed to further transformations that can not be corrected.

A barcsi Kremzir-palota építéstörténeti kutatását Horogszegi Tamás és Opra Zsuzsanna 2014 tavaszán végezték. A kutatások során eddig ismeretlen levéltári források alapján igazolhatóvá vált, hogy az 1950-es évektől városi bíróságként működő épületet a morvaországi eredetű (Kremsier na Kroměříž) zsidó családból származó Kremzir Károly (1818–1888) építtette 1885-ben saját lakóházául és innen igazgatta barcstelepi gazdaságát, melynek épületei a palota udvarában helyezkedtek el – ezekből mára egyetlen épület maradt fenn elhanyagolt, de még menthető állapotban. Az építtető építési engedélykérelme mellékleteként előkerült az emeletes épület tervezett földszinti alaprajza (3. kép), amely meglehetős pontossággal ábrázolja az ekkor megvalósult állapotot.
A helyszíni megfigyelések és a feltárt források alapján sikerült tisztázni a telek- és tulajdonlástörténet mellett az építéstörténet fázisait (7. kép). Az építtető halála után az örökösök kisebb belső átalakításokat végeztek a házban. 1942-ben az Országos Földhitelintézet, 10 évvel később a Magyar Állam tulajdona lett a palota. 1952-ben a Városi Bíróságot költöztették az épületbe. Ekkor nagyobb belső átalakításokat végeztek (5–6. kép).
A kutatás során a helyszíni megfigyelések különös hangsúlyt nyertek, mivel az épület összes belső vakolatát az 1980-as évek derekán gombakárosodás miatt eltávolították a belső nyílászárókkal egyetemben (amelyeket a melléképületben helyeztek el, úgy hogy egy részük bizonyára visszaépíthető volna). Emiatt költözött ki a bíróság is a műemlékből, és áll azóta használaton kívül. Így a jelenségek rögzítésére fizikai roncsolással járó falkutatásra nem volt szükség – hiszen ezt három évtizeddel korábban kőműves módszerekkel „elvégezték”.
Sem az 1885-ös építési engedélykérelem, sem alaprajzi melléklete nem közli a tervező építőmester nevét, aki esetleg összefüggésbe hozható a szintén Kremzir Károly által építtetett, mára rommá vált Barcs-belcsapusztai Kremzir-kastély (1873–1875) építőmesterével, illetve a 19. század második felében parcellázott barcsi területen lévő némelyik hasonló korú épülettel. Nem elképzelhetetlen, hogy az építőmestert a somogytarnócai Széchenyi-kastély (1873) vagy az ez idő tájt Szigetvárott folyó építkezések mesterei között kereshetjük.
Annak ellenére, hogy az épület országos és dél-dunántúli viszonylatban sem képvisel kimagasló műemléki, művészeti, történeti értéket, méltó megőrzését és megfelelő hasznosítását feltétlenül szükségesnek tartjuk, éppen amiatt, mert szerényebb művészeti kvalitásai miatt a veszélyeztetettebb, további helyrehozhatatlan átalakításoknak leginkább kitett műemlékek sorába tartozik.

Varasd vármegye története A megye fekvése Varasd vármegye a mai Horvátország területén fekszik. A Szent Korona fennhatósága alól az 1920. június 4-én Trianonban aláírt békediktátum következtében került ki, amikor a Magyar Királysággal perszonálunióban lévő Horvátország az újonnan alakult Szerb-Horvát-Szlovén Királyság részévé vált. Ezúttal a megye elcsatolás előtti állapotát és történetét szeretnénk bemutatni.

A mostra A Mão do Povo Brasileiro foi apresentada pela primeira vez em 1969 na inauguração do novo edifício do Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), na Avenida Paulista. A estratégia curatorial e expográfica, elaborada pela arquiteta italiana Lina Bo Bardi, propôs a disposição dos artefatos em núcleos temáticos, sugerindo uma taxonomia da cultura material brasileira. Em 2016, após uma reestruturação administrativa e conceitual no MASP, a mostra foi remontada, na mesma sala de exibição, respeitando a expografia e curadoria originais. Este texto tem como objetivo descrever como ocorreu a nova encenação para, então, compreender os acionamentos conceituais realizados na ocasião. O método que fundamentou essa investigação foi documental, com levantamento de documentos alocados no Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação do MASP e no Arquivo do Instituto Bardi, além da revisão do catálogo da mostra contemporânea e de textos produzidos pelos(as) curadores(as) e pela crítica. Demonstramos, a partir d...

This study aims to describe the planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating the marketing of graduates in vocational education units, as well as supporting factors and inhibiting marketing of graduates in vocational education units. This study used a qualitative model with a case study design. Data collection uses interviews, observation, and documentation. In analyzing data using data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that graduates from these schools are absorbed into the world of work even before they graduate from school and have obtained jobs. This is supported by good marketing management starting from planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating the marketing of graduates. The obstacle is when the parents of students do not want their children to get jobs in long distances.

O texto analisa alguns fragmentos narrativos produzidos por uma professora iniciante das séries iniciais da educação básica durante as reuniões do seu grupo de pesquisa do doutorado. Ao tomar como campo empírico tais fragmentos nosso objetivo foi explorar pistas que nos permitam refletir sobre como indivíduos tornam-se professores/as quando estão inseridos simultaneamente em dois contextos cuja articulação tende a ser marcada por relações conflituosas e de subordinação: a escola e a academia. A aposta que fazemos é a de que a experiência de biografização que resultou nessa escrita contribua para se pensar outros caminhos teóricos possíveis para a interface pesquisa científica - docência na educação básica, contribuindo, assim, para desestabilizar binarismos enraizados no campo educacional.

Dedication We dedicate this paper to our highly esteemed co-author Jean-Claude Monney who passed away in December 2012. For this reason, we express our deep thanks for his collaboration on the ecology and evolution of the asp viper that began many years ago. We will never forget him.

A blunt-nosed viper specimen, Macrovipera lebetina obtusa is recorded from Hıdırlık village, Divriği, Sivas province in Central Anatolia. Previously Erzincan-Kemaliye was the westernmost locality known for this species in central Anatolia. Information on new locality and morphological features of this endangered subspecies is given.

Kivonat: A Kis-Balaton Vízvédelmi Rendszer (KBVR) természetvédelmi státuszából eredően a területen régóta folynak a legkülönfélébb madártani vizsgálatok és populációméret becslések. A tanulmány célja a vízi és vizes élőhelyekhez kötődő fészkelő madárpopulációk (elsősorban a vízimadarak, partimadarak, nádi madarak) méretének és változásainak értékelése a Kis-Balaton teljes területén (KBVR I. és II. ütem-más megnevezéssel Felső és Alsó tározó). A vizsgálat 2003-tól 2007-ig folyt és 42 fészkelő fajra terjedt ki. Az eredmények alapján megállapítható, hogy a KBVR I.-es ütemen a 42 fészkelő faj közül 29 állománya (69%) stabil, 8 faj (19%) ingadozó, 5 faj (12%) csökkenő, míg egyedül a bütykös hattyú (Cygnus olor) populáció mutatott növekvő tendenciát a vizsgált időszakban. Az Ingói-berek (II. ütem) esetében a vizsgált 42 fészkelő fajból csak 15 költőpopulációja (34%) volt stabil, valamint 17 faj (40%) állományai ingadozó, és további 5 faj (12%) költőpopulációja csökkenő tendenciát mutatott szemben azzal, hogy legtöbbjük országos állománya stabil, illetve növekvő. Emellett jelentős csökkenés volt tapasztalható itt a kárókatona (Phalacrocorax carbo) és a fattyúszerkő (Chlidonias hybridus) populációiban is. Két faj állománya növekedett itt: a bütykös hattyú és a fokozottan védett kis kárókatona (Phalacrocorax pygmeus), melyek viszont országosan is terjeszkednek. Emellett kis számban megjelent a berki poszáta (Cettia cetti) is, amely az első fészkelési adata volt az országban. A II.-es ütem el nem árasztott részét összehasonlítva az Ingóiberekkel megállapítható, hogy 34 faj (81%) költőpopulációja stabil volt az el nem árasztott területen. Emellett a szárcsa (Fulica atra) és a fattyúszerkő populációja viszont nőtt ezen a területen, továbbá kis számban itt is megjelent a berki poszáta. Összegzésként megállapítjuk, hogy a vízi és vizes élőhelyekhez kötődő madárpopulációk trendjei egyaránt jól indikálták a terület elárasztásával járó állapotváltozásokat, ezért további tervszerű monitorozásuk kiemelten fontos természetvédelmi feladat a Kis-Balatonon.

A perícope das serpentes no deserto destaca-se do conjunto de escritos que recorrem ao simbolismo da serpente, ao utilizar esse elemento potencialmente enganoso para a fé de Israel, ambivalente. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi compreender o simbolismo da serpente em Nm 21,4-9, a partir de uma análise do texto e da possível influência por parte dos egípcios e povos do Antigo Oriente Próximo. A análise narrativa destacou o texto como um enredo de conflito-solução no drama vivido pelo povo. Na ótica do conflito, foram levados em conta os aspectos antropológicos e culturais do simbolismo da serpente e seu alcance teológico. A interpretação favoreceu a compreensão da dimensão pedagógica de Deus diante da necessidade de conversão do povo que estava na etapa final da caminhada do deserto, prestes a entrar na terra de Canaã. Dentro da economia da revelação, o autor dá um novo significado à serpente levantada na haste. No início do relato, fora instrumento de castigo expresso na mordedura que causou muitas mortes; no fim, torna-se sinal de salvação. Assim, mediante o sinal, o mesmo Deus que castiga é o que está sempre pronto a oferecer uma nova chance àquele que volta seus olhos para Ele.

The false horned vipers of the genus Pseudocerastes Boulenger, 1896 form a group of horned viper species with horn-like structures above their eyes that are made up of numerous small scales. The head is distinct from the neck, covered with small scales. Pupils vertical; nostrils directed outwards and upwards, in large undivided nasal shield. Supralabials with serrated lower margin and with inner groove to receive lower lip; body scales in 21-25 longitudinal rows, none obliquely disposed; keels on body scales do not reach posterior edge of scale but end in swollen knob before outer edge, keels not serrated; ventrals rounded, without lateral keels; tail short, subcaudals paired (Leviton et al., 1992). Its distribution is the North Arabian Desert from Sinai and southern Israel, Jordan, Iraq, southwestern Iran east to Afghanistan, and Pakistan west of the Indus River, with an outlying population in northern Oman (Bostanchi et al., 2006). P. fieldi has been reported from Sinai, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and southwestern Iran (Bostanchi et al., 2006). The type specimen of P. fieldi is from Bair Wells, Transjordan (Leviton et al., 1992). In Iran, it has been reported from Kermanshah province (Latifi, 2000) and Bushehr province (Bostanchi et al., 2006) to date. In October 2008 during field work on the fauna of Mohr (in Fars province), a single specimen of P. fieldi was collected from the place called 'Khelleh' (27°33′N, 52°58′E; alt. 980 m), in a mountainous area between Narman and Bardakuyeh villages, 10 km from the city of Mohr, in the southwestern regions of Fars province (southern Iran) (Figures 1 and 2). The collected specimen of P. fieldi is now deposited in the Collection of the Biology Department of Shiraz University (CBSU) under museum number CBSUC897. Counts and measurements for this specimen are given in the Table. This new locality is about 360 km away from Binak (in Bushehr province), the nearest previously published record of this species (Bostanchi et al., 2006).

In 1999 and 2004, we published reports on how the introduction of 20 males into a severely inbred and isolated population of Adders (Vipera berus) halted its decline towards extinction. The introduction significantly enhanced the population's genetic variability, which resulted in a dramatic increase in offspring viability and a rapid increase in numbers. Unfortunately, recently a new and unprecedented development is threatening the population's future survival. In 2004 permission was granted by the Swedish Nature Conservation Agency of the County Administrative Board to build a house and an adjacent 1 m tall brick wall, right across the habitat occupied by the Adders. The construction of the house and brick wall in 2006 has prevented the majority of the snakes from undertaking their annual migration within the study area, resulting in an extirpation > 75% of the Adders. This reduction seriously impedes the future survival of this unique population.

The ability to collect quality blood samples is essential in any animal class. The production of poor-quality blood data can be useless or, even worse, misleading to the clinician (Mader D., 1996). The two common sites for venipuncture in snakes are the caudal (ventral tail) vein and the heart. Venipuncture in reptiles is generally a blind technique. In this study we compare the usefulness of two blood sampling techniques in captive horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) (n=18): tail venipuncture and cardiocentesis. We noted total time (in seconds) of blood collection and the number of attempts needed.

The topic of the article is the influence of the rules and customs of succession on the family structures and life strategies in Southern Transdanubia. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists and the local administration observed significant differences between the demographical structures of the Hungarian and German inhabitants in both Tolna and Baranya counties. While a significant part of the Hungarian rural population followed the “single-child-policy” (“egyke” in Hungarian), German families in the same area did not have this concept. It was observed, that the villages with families following the singlechild-policy kept losing population and were endangered by a demographical collapse. Seeking the reasons behind the single-child-policy, the rules of succession were identified as the main difference between the Hungarian and German population. The German population practiced the so-called primogeniture (Anerbenrecht), probably brought along from the early 18th century So...

A new species of blunt-nosed viper of the genus Macrovipera is described from the central and southern parts of Iran on the basis of morphological and molecular examination. The mitochondrial Cytb gene was used to investigate phylogenetic relationships amongst the Iranian species of the genus Macrovipera. A dataset with a final sequence length of 1043 nucleotides from 41 specimens from 18 geographically distant localities across Iran was generated. The findings demonstrated that two major clades with strong support can be identified within the genus Macrovipera in Iran. One clade consists of individuals belonging to a new species, which is distributed in the central and southern parts of Iran; the second clade includes two discernible subclades. The first subclade is distributed in western and northwestern Iran, Macrovipera lebetina obtusa, and the second subclade consists of northeastern populations, representing Macrovipera lebetina cernovi. The new species, Macrovipera razii sp. ...

Turkey harbors a high diversity of viperid snakes, many with a high threat level on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, yet perception about even basic topics, such as distributions and conservation statuses, remain poor. We initiated a multi-year project 7 y ago to compensate these shortcomings and present herein dramatically improved information on the status of mountain vipers of central-eastern Anatolia (Asian Turkey): Bolkar Viper (Montivipera b. bulgardaghica), Albizona Viper (M. b. albizona), Wagner's Viper (M. wagneri), and partly Ottoman Viper (M. xanthina). The data originate from our fieldwork and a comprehensive search of all records available, including information from literature, online resources, locals, and herpetological experts. This resulted in 51 new localities, complemented by 36 published records, which were refined with new information, including four corrected/removed records and two records that were combined with new records due to their proximity. We summarized all records with precise information in a supplemented list of 85 localities, which is compared to current literature and the range maps available on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the global standard reference for consultation on range maps and conservation status of species. Consequently, we report on large range extension of > 100 km in all four mountain viper taxa, increase the extent of occurrence for each viper taxon 4-8 times, reduce the distribution gaps between all pairs of parapatric, related, and ecologically similar mountain vipers, and discuss taxa delimitation, putative contact zones and conservation aspects.

Turkey harbors a high diversity of viperid snakes, many with a high threat level on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, yet perception about even basic topics, such as distributions and conservation statuses, remain poor. We initiated a multi-year project 7 y ago to compensate these shortcomings and present herein dramatically improved information on the status of mountain vipers of central-eastern Anatolia (Asian Turkey): Bolkar Viper (Montivipera b. bulgardaghica), Albizona Viper (M. b. albizona), Wagner's Viper (M. wagneri), and partly Ottoman Viper (M. xanthina). The data originate from our fieldwork and a comprehensive search of all records available, including information from literature, online resources, locals, and herpetological experts. This resulted in 51 new localities, complemented by 36 published records, which were refined with new information, including four corrected/removed records and two records that were combined with new records due to their proximity.

North-eastern anatolia harbours a high diversity of viperid snakes with only a limited knowledge about their distribution and with relationships among these vipers not yet fully resolved. Moreover, information on habitat attributes for most of these vipers is scarce. We initiated a multi-year project to improve our knowledge on their distribution and habitat preferences, especially by searching contact zones of closely related and ecologically similar species and evaluate potential gene ow and species integrity. in this context and as an intermittent step, we report new localities nearby putative contact zones. thus, herein we present new information on the distribution of Vipera barani, V. kaznakovi, V. darevskii, V. eriwanensis, Montivipera wagneri, M. raddei and Macrovipera lebetina based on our eld work and third sources provided to us. With these data, we were able to reduce the distribution gaps between three pairs of “parapatric”, related or ecologically similar, viper specie...

Two females of the viper Vipera barani which is only known from a few specimens are recorded from Trabzon province, Turkey, and are described here. The variability of pholidosis and the dorsal pattern now known in V. barani encompasses most diagnostic characters of Vipera pontica, which was described from Artvin. It is assumed that both taxa belong to a single species whose range extends over the entire mountain range along the Turkish Black Sea coast. Kurzfassung. Von der bisher erst in wenigen Exemplaren bekannten Viper Vipera barani werden zwei Weibchen erstmals aus der Region von Trabzon in Nordost-Anatolien beschrieben. Die nun bekannte Variationsbreite der Pholidose und der Rückenzeichnung von V. barani umschließt die Mehrzahl der diagnostischen Merkmale der von Artvin beschriebenen Vipera pontica. Es wird vermutet, dass beide Taxa einer Art angehören, die über das gesamte Bergland entlang der türkischen Schwarzmeerküste verbreitet ist.

O estudo comenta os textos de Num 12, 1-12 e 16, 1-35 através ótica dos fracos e oprimidos. Se difere de autores que veem como incontestável a autoridade dos líderes. Estes textos enaltecem o poder de Moisés e Arão no fato de que o castigo é implacável contra os rebeldes. São situações de crise, onde as relações são marcadas por atitudes autoritárias, e o poder é legitimado pela teologia oficial da elite sacerdotal. Percebe-se que a base não é ouvida, o que contrasta com a teologia do Êxodo e da Aliança. Neste contexto se entende a enorme desproporção entre a culpa e castigo. Isso gera uma forte suspeita de uma ideologia excludente da classe popular, das mulheres, dos pobres que não são ouvidos. A narrativa do conflito de Miriam e Aarão contra Moisés é construída para legitimar a autoridade de Moisés, enquanto a narrativa da revolta de Core Datã e Abirão serve para legitimar a autoridade de Aarão. Isto reflete o conflito de autoridade no pós-exilio, com uma teologia que revela a ima...

Background: The blunt-nosed viper Macrovipera lebetina (Linnaeus, 1758) is a medically important snake species in the Middle East. Its nominate subspecies Macrovipera l. lebetina is confined to Cyprus, where it is the only dangerously venomous snake species and heavily pursued. Despite the viper's large size, data on its body mass and sex-specific morphological differences are scarce. It is commonly believed that M. l. lebetina prefers freshwater proximity during summer. Hence, we aimed at investigating M. l. lebetina sex-specific morphological differences and its possible attraction to freshwater bodies in late summer. Methods: Morphometric characteristics, proximity to water and conservation status of M. l. lebetina were investigated in Paphos district (Cyprus) in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Vipers were caught in different habitats, examined morphologically for metric and meristic characters, and released back into their habitat. Additionally, local people were interviewed about the conservation situation of the species. Results: Of 38 recorded blunt-nosed vipers, morphological characteristics were collected from 34 (10 adult males, 16 adult females, eight unsexed juveniles). Rounded total length (ToL) ranged from 23.5 cm to 133.0 cm and weight between 10 g and 1456 g. Adult males significantly exceeded adult females in tail length (TaL), ToL and head length (HL). No significant sex-specific differences were found in snout-vent length (SVL), head width (HW), weight or body condition index (BCI), nor for the ratios TaL / SVL, TaL / ToL, HL / SVL or HL / HW. Adult females from late summer (2015) had a significantly lower mean BCI than those from spring (2014). Distances of blunt-nosed vipers to the nearest water bodies (natural and artificial, respectively) did not differ significantly between spring (2014) and late summer (2015). There was also no significant difference between the distances of vipers to natural and to artificial water bodies in spring (and late summer). Conclusions: Adult male blunt-nosed vipers exceed adult females in TaL, ToL and HL. Adult females are likely in a more vulnerable body condition in late summer than in spring. Periodic drying out of freshwater bodies in summer probably does not affect the species' occurrence. Educational workshops and habitat conservation are recommended for reducing human-viper conflict.

Amphibia and Reptilia collections at the Zoological Museum, University of Istanbul (ZMUI) were studied and revised. The samples were collected from 1921 until today. The localities of most species are found in the different regions of Turkey. The collection have 75 species of which 21 species are amphibians and 54 species are reptiles. With this study a zoological collection belong to ZMUI was given for the first time.

Up to these days, there has only been minor investigation on the grounds of the late castle next to Kereki. During the excavations, a small amount of stove tile fragments was  found,  but  the  pieces  are,  however,  rather  significant. Most of the stove tiles can be traced back to the time of Sigismund  of  Luxembourg,  but  stoves  were  built  here  in  the second half of the 15th century, and even in the 16th century. Based on the findings, a theoretical reconstruction of the tiled stove from the time of Sigismund is also possible.

In őrtilos, at the őrtilos-zrínyi-Újvár archaeological site, between 25 July 2016 and 26 May 2017, archaeological excavations  were  performed  supported  by  the  national  Cultural Fund (nKA) 207134/00284 project. In 2017, we have uncovered a 14.5 m deep well within the fortress. In the well there were human bones, military clothing and equipment remains found. during the exploration we could find a timber construction, which is without parallel according to our previous knowledge. the shaft of the well is octagonal, lined with oak planks.
