Gyula Germanus or Hajji Julius Abdul-Karim Germanus, Hungarian Muslim Orientalist Professor (1884-1979) was a well-known scholar and popular figure in Hungary from the turn of the century until late ...seventies. He was an Arabist, teacher, professor, writer, traveller, literary historian as well MP in Hungary (1958-1966) and member of many academies abroad. He converted to Islam in Delhi in 1930, and he was the first Hungarian to make a pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) in 1935. In this paper, I would like to describe in more detail his first major trip abroad, which took him to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the summer of 1902. The 17-year-old Germanus, a newly graduated, well-informed, educated, multilingual and already interested in Eastern culture, had a lifetime of experiences on his journey. Based partly on one of his memoirs and partly on a radio play he wrote and found in the Germanus bequest, I will outline in detail a chronicle of his days in Bosnia. First he travelled by train from Budapest to Banja Luka, where he visited the only Trappist monastery in the Balkans, and then he wrote a brief history of the Trappist order in his book. He then travelled with his companions by coach along a wild and scenic road carved into the valley of the Vrbas river towards Jajce. He noted that the Hungarian soldiers who invaded Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 had named the province “the land of curved mountains” for a reason. It is in Jajce that he had his greatest and most astonishing adventure, when he walked into a café in the evening, where he was greeted with great affection by the regular Bosniaks, especially after it turns out that he speaks Turkish. So he spends the evening in good company and is amply entertained. This first impression of the kindness and hospitality of the Muslim people of the East will stayed with him for the rest of his life. Jajca was followed by a journey by narrow-gauge railway to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. In addition to describing the city and its sights, Germanus also reported that he had made a new and very dear friend, the intelligent Ahmed Mustafa, a shariat law student. After meeting him, they talked about the Islamic religion, the Quran, shariat and visited the bazaar. Afterwards they had dinner and Germanus invited his new friend to visit Hungary, who accompanied him to Grazová and then to Raguza. They also discovered Raguza together and said goodbye to each other. From there Germanus travelled to Cattaro, then to Cetinje in Montenegro, where he had interesting and instructive adventures, and after a long and difficult ordeal, including two days of starvation, he arrived in Fiume, where he was helped by an acquaintance of his father’s, and was able to travel home in peace. In the conclusion, I will explain that six years after Germanus’ visit, the Austro-Hungarian Empire annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Empire, and tensions between the peoples of the Balkans escalated, leading to the Sarajevo assassination attempt on 28 June 1914, which soon afterwards led to the outbreak of the First World War. Germanus never forgot his first trip and the positive experiences he had here. He had sympathy for the Bosniaks and helped them in Hungary when veteran soldiers and officers stranded in Hungary after the First World War founded an Islamic religious community in 1931 under the leadership of former Military Imam Husein Hilmi Durić . Germanus, who was already a Muslim, supported them, mobilised his network of contacts for them and took on the role of secretary-general of the so-called “Gül Baba Cultural Committee”. I believe that the teenager Germanus’ personality development was greatly influenced by his trip in 1902 and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere that surrounded him.
At the end of 1921 Mikhail Bulgakov, a young doctor from Kiev with literary expectations, finally moved to Moscow. The capital of the new Soviet world is entering into the Nep’s years, featured by ...the figure of a new social climber, the nepman. Moscow and the entire Russia are changing, by staging a kind of huge Carnival of which Bulgakov chooses to portrait its contradictory and paradoxal nature throughout the instruments of a grotesque satire. The writer intends to represent the relativity and absurdity of situations that cross the threshold of reality to penetrate the world of paradox and absurd, where mistaken identities, amazing discoveries and unlikely experiments may be read as dethronizations of inauthentic heroes, unmasking of false myths, tragi-comic teasing of the authoritarian word. This paper analyses three examples of the bulgakovian satire in the ‘povesti’ D’javoliada, Rokovye jajca e Sobač’e serdce and, with the aid of Bachtin’s interpretations, it suggests a new reading of the three writings and an insight into the reasons for the choice of the satirical genre in the whole literary work of the writer.
Assessing the thermo-tolerance potentials of five commercial layer chicken genotypes under long-term heat stress environment as measured by their performance traits This study was conducted to test ...the thermo-tolerance ability of five commercial chicken genotypes (Lohmann Brown, LB; Lohmann White, LW; New Hampshire, NH ; White Leghorn selected for low feed expenditure, WL-FE and White Leghorn with sex-linked dwarf gene, WL-dw) under long-term heat exposure. Two-hundred forty female chickens were assigned to a completely randomized design in a 5 × 2 factorial arrangements (five genetic groups and two ambient temperatures thermo-neutral, 18-20 °C; heat stress, 30-32 °C). Individual eggs were collected on daily basis while egg weight and feed intake were determined on individual and group basis at 28-days intervals, respectively. Shell quality traits were determined at 25, 40 and 56 weeks age. No Genotype × ambient temperature interactions were found except for body weight and egg deformation. Chickens at thermo-neutral temperature produced significantly heavier eggs than those of heat-exposed (60 g vs. 54 g). Hen-housed egg production of chickens in thermo-neutral temperature was significantly higher than those of heat-stressed (76.8 % vs. 66.2 %). Daily egg mass production at thermo-neutral and heat stressed chickens was 46 g and 35.8 g, respectively. Feed consumption in heat-stressed and thermo-neutral chickens was 109 and 80.8 g, respectively. Shell thickness, breaking strength and Haugh unit values were significantly reduced in heat-stressed chickens. Among heat-exposed chickens, the NH had the highest body weight while the LW produced 10 % more eggs than the group average. The heat-induced effect on shell quality traits was lowest in LW chickens. The results indicated that the magnitude of heat stress was breed dependent in which the LB showed poor adaptability to heat stress while both NH and LW genotypes demonstrated better thermo-tolerance ability.
Ocena tolerančnega potenciala petih komercianih genotipov kokoši nesnic na osnovi proizvodnih lastnosti pod pogoji dolgotrajnega toplotnega stresa V študiji smo testirali toplotno toleranco petih komercialnih genotipov kokoši (Lohmann Brown, LB; Lohmann White, LW; New Hampshire, NH ; beli leghorn, selekcioniran na nizko porabo krme, WL-FE in beli leghorn s spolno vezanim genom za pritlikavost, WLdw) pod pogoji dolgotrajne izpostavljenosti visokim temperaturam. Za naključno zasnovan 5 × 2 faktorski poskus (pet genetskih skupin in dve ambientalni temperaturi termo nevtralna, 18-20 °C; toplotni stres, 30-32 °C) smo uporabili 240 kokoši. Jajca smo zbirali individualno vsak dan, poraba krme pa je bila ocenjena individualno in za posamezne skupine v 28-dnevnih intervalih. Kakovost jajčne lupine smo ocenili pri starosti 25, 40 in 56 tednov. Med genotipi in okoljskimi temperaturami nismo našli interakcij, razen za telesno maso in deformacije jajc. Kokoši so v termo nevtralnem okolju proizvajale statistično zančilno težja jajca (60 g) kot kokoši pod toplotnim stresom (54 g). Proizvodnja jajc kokoši v termo nevtralnem okolju je bila statistično značilno višja (76,8 %) kot pod pogoji toplotnega stresa (66,2 %). Dnevna proizvodnja jajčne mase je bila višja v termonevtralnem okolju (46 g) kot pod pogoji toplotnega stresa (35,8 g). Poraba krme v termo nevtralnem okolju je bila nižja (80,8 g) kot pod pogoji toplotnega stresa (109 g), debelina jajčne lupine, trdnost lupine in vrednosti v Haughovih enotah so bile statistično značilno zmanjšane pri kokoših v pogojih toplotnega stresa. Med kokošmi pod toplotnim stresom je imel genotip NH najvišjo telesno maso, genotip LW pa je proizvedel 10 % več jajc kot je bilo povprečje skupine. Najmanj opazen je bil vpliv okoljske temperature na kakovost lupine pri genotipu LW. Naši rezultati kažejo, da je stopnja toplotnega stresa odvisna od genotipa, pri čemer ima LB najslabšo prilagodljivost na toplotn stres, medtem ko sta genotipa NH in LW pokazala boljšo toleranco za povišano okoljsko temperaturo.
Pri treh slovenskih tradicionalnih pasmah kokoši lahkega tipa (slovenski rjavi kokoši, slovenski srebrni kokoši in slovenski grahasti kokoši) smo proučevali celoletno nesnost in kakovost jajc. V 18. ...tednu starosti smo v individualne kletke trinadstropne baterije vselili po 162 jarkic vsake pasme. V obdobju od 20. do 72. tedna starosti smo spremljali nesnost, porabo krme, telesno maso ter vitalnost kokoši. Vsake 4 tedne smo merili fizikalne lastnosti jajc. V nesnem obdobju je bila slovenska rjava kokoš najlažja in je znesla največ jajc, 301 jajce letno oz. 5,63 jajc tedensko. Najmanj krme je dnevno porabila slovenska rjava kokoš (119,9 g), ki je tudi najboljše izkoriščala krmo, in sicer le 2,4 kg krme/kg jajčne mase in 145,0 g krme/jajce. Najtežja jajca so nesle slovenske srebrne kokoši (64,33 g), največ jajčne mase na leto so proizvedle slovenske rjave kokoši (18,40 kg). Jajca slovenske srebrne kokoši so imela najdebelejšo lupino (0,37 mm). Višina gostega beljaka in število haughovih enot sta bila pri slovenskih srebrnih kokoših večja kot pri ostalih dveh pasmah. Največ krvnih in mesnih peg smo našli v jajcih slovenskih rjavih kokoši (41 %), ki so bile tudi najvitalnejše, v nesnem obdobju jih je poginilo le 3,1 %.
Z metodo plinske kromatografije smo določili maščobno-kislinsko sestavo običajnih konzumnih in z omega-3 polinenasičenimi maščobnimi kislinami obogatenih konzumnih jajc. Ker je ekstrakcija maščob ...pred pripravo metilnih estrov maščobnih kislin (MEMK) za plinsko kromatografijo zamudna, smo se tej stopnji izognili in izvedli in situ transesterifikacijo (ISTE). Homogeniziranemu vzorcu smo dodali 0,5 N NaOH v metanolu, ga segrevali 10 minut pri 90 oC; po dodatku 12 % BF3 v metanolu pa smo segrevanje nadaljevali še 10 minut za nadaljnjo metilacijo. Tudi zaradi enostavnosti, hitrosti in manjše porabe organskih topil smo uporabili ISTE metodo za pripravo MEMK za določitev maščobno-kislinske sestave jajc. Dobljeni podatki se dobro ujemajo z literaturnimi podatki. Omega-3 obogatena jajca na slovenskem trgu (proizvajalec JATA Reja) vsebujejo ugodnejšo maščobno-kislinsko sestavo (EPA+DHA = 4,42 ut%) kot običajna konzumna jajca (EPA+DHA = 1,34 ut%) istega proizvajalca.
