The Bronze Age

Although there is no textual evidence known from the Bronze Age, written sources describing migrations of later (i.e. Early Medieval) periods effecting the Carpathian Basin were interpreted as instances of cultural and population change which could be comparable with processes that took place during the Bronze Age in the Carpathian Basin. In the past two decades, Eurasian archaeological research received a new impetus to investigate the traces of migrations during prehistory, in collaboration with other disciplines such as isotope geochemistry or archaeogenetics. The current project which commenced in 2015, funded by the ‛Momentum Programme’ of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, was set out to investigate the societal changes that had taken place within the boundaries of modern-day Hungary – contemporaneous with the builders of the great pyramids of Egypt and the Greek heroes of the Mycenaean shaft graves – by analysing the settlements, cemeteries and the artefacts recovered from these archaeological sites. The project, for the first time in Hungarian Bronze Age research, employs a range of multidisciplinary methodologies in order to examine the social changes of the period. The present paper is to provide an overview of a particular aspect of this research: the outcomes of the bioarchaeological enquiries with special regards to the general health, mobility and the lifestyle of studied populations.

This review evaluates the monograph which follows up the cycle of seminal works on the controversial issues of social changes written by the prominent Russian sociologist — Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences RAS Zh.T. Toshchenko. His focus is on understudied aspects of the concept of a “trauma society”. This concept characterizes the situation of a specific modality, an intermediate option between the evolutionary and revolutionary paths of development. The concept of “sociology of life”, which has been repeatedly used by the author, is advantageous in terms of the theoretical understanding of this situation. Using solid statistical data, the monograph shows the apparent insufficiency of such concepts as “democratic and authoritarian path of development” when it comes to describing the evolution of any country. It is difficult to disagree with the author’s opinion, which states that these are ineffective as criteria for social progress or regression. Of undoubted interest for specialists is the typology of modern societies of trauma that is given in the work. This typology is based on the factors that have generated a socially traumatic situation. The monograph pays special attention to the manifestations of trauma in Russian society. The author’s extensive use of the results of representative empirical studies is an important advantage of the work. The monograph reveals the precise contours of an innovative academic project, which serves as a fundamental basis for further researching the complicated and poorly studied phenomenon of “society of trauma”.

Endoscopic Investigation

Introduction: Recent guidelines recommend routine pulse oximetric monitoring during endoscopy, however, this has not been the common practice yet in the majority of the local endoscopic units. Aims: To draw attention to the importance of the routine use of pulse oximetric recording during endoscopy. Method: A prospective multicenter study was performed with the participation of 11 gastrointestinal endoscopic units. Data of pulse oximetric monitoring of 1249 endoscopic investigations were evaluated, of which 1183 were carried out with and 66 without sedation. Results: Oxygen saturation less than 90% was observed in 239 cases corresponding to 19.1% of all cases. It occurred most often during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (31.2%) and proximal enteroscopy (20%). Procedure-related risk factors proved to be the long duration of the investigation, premedication with pethidine (31.3%), and combined sedoanalgesia with pethidine and midazolam (34.38%). The age over 60 years, obesity, consumption of hypnotics or sedatives, severe cardiopulmonary state, and risk factor scores III and IV of the American Society of Anestwere found as patient-related risk factors. Conclusion: To increase the safety of patients undergoing endoscopic investigation, pulse oximeter and oxygen supplementation should be the standard requirement in all of the endoscopic investigation rooms. Pulse oximetric monitoring is advised routinely during endoscopy with special regard to the risk factors of hypoxemia. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154, 825–833.
