Enrolment

To be able to continue your studies, you have to make your semester active in the ETR.

Enrolment on the web
To administer your enrolment in the ETR, after logging in please go to Administration Change Status. Here you can make your semester active or passive, and you can change some of your personal details. Between the steps, there may be checking processes going on, which determine if the previous step was successful or not, and allow you to go on to the next one or not.

Your student’s legal status
Your student’s legal status is one of the most important factors of your studies; this determines if you can take courses or not. The possibilities are:
• Aktív (active)
• Beiratkozásra vár (awaiting matriculation)
• Bejelentkezésre vár (awaiting enrolment)
• Ismeretlen (unknown)
• Passzív (passive)
At the beginning of the semester, your major’s status is usually "Bejelentkezésre vár" (awaiting enrolment), then you have to declare if you want to make your semester active or passive.

Steps of enrolment:
1. Academic program (general medicine, dentistry)
2. Changing status
3. Settings, information
4. Acceptance

Academic program
As the first step, you have to decide which program/major you want to make active or passive. Normally you only have one major. It is possible that there is nothing to tick in front of your major, in that case it is no enrolment period or you cannot change your status in that major.

Changing status
You can choose between the possible statuses in your major. Typically you can choose between active and passive status.

Settings, information
The school can ask for some more details from you at this point or can give you more information. For further info, please contact the Registrar’s Office.

Acceptance
At this step you can accept what has been done.
• "OK": To save the selected status. After saving, you get a message of success, which will appear on the top of the page. In case of error, the change has not been successful.
• "Cancel": By cancelling the changes, it takes you back to the beginning page of the “Change status” side.
• "Back": It takes you back to the previous step.

Good Luck!

So head over to BRY's Exam Notes to get a head start on the coming semester :-D

 
The position is sponsored by the European Commission 6th Framework Programme on Research, Technological Development and Demonstration’s „Marie Curie Actions: Research Training Networks (RTN) within the context of  „AQUA(GLYCERO)PORINS” program proposal.
 
The position is advertised not for Hungarian citizens!

Applications are expected from the Hungarian minorities living outside Hungary or from students graduated at the English or German programs of Hungarian universities. Knowledge of Hungarian is preferred but not a prerequisite.
 

Research topic

The discovery of the aquaporins was awarded with the Chemistry Nobel Prize 2003 to P. Agre. Eleven aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins (combined referred to as aqua(glycero)porins) have been described in mammals. Aqua(glycero)porins are represented in all classes of organisms, suggesting universal importance. Aquaporins transport water and aquaglyceroporins transport glycerol with high velocity and specificity. Mammalian AQP1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 are aquaporins, AQP3, 7, 9 and 10 are aquaglyceroporins. AQP6 is an intracellular aquaporin able to conduct ions. The physiological roles of aquaporins are known to different degrees of detail.
AQP1 is required for production of cerebrospinal fluid in the human brain. AQP4 is an aquaporin of the brain-blood barrier and involved in brain swelling. Central to the understanding of the role and importance of aqua(glycero)porins is their regulation at the level of gene expression (e.g. AQP9), trafficking (AQP2), gating (AQP6), or combinations thereof.
Aquaporins are targets for drugs. For instance, blockers of brain AQP4 would diminish fatal brain swelling upon stroke! Integrated knowledge of the physiological roles of all aquaporins will elucidate further targets for treatments. Specific aquaporin blockers are presently not available.

Project objectives

The mechanisms that control aqua(glycero)porin function are crucial for our understanding of the physiological role of aqua(glycero)porins and for drug target identification and drug development. This study stresses in particular the physiological roles, molecular and physiological control mechanisms and atomic structures of aquaporins AQP1 and AQP4.

Research method

Regulation of AQP4 using clinical samples and rodent models: Clinical investigation of head trauma and stroke patients using clinical MR scanners, measuring brain water content in vivo by T1 map, localized proton spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) for monitoring brain edema in patients. Use of rodent brain edema models and applying the MRI methodology mentioned above, using a 9.4T experimental MR spectroscope and scanner. Cellular localisation of aquaporin-1 and -4 and other proteins on human pathological and experimental specimens by immunocytochemistry. Semiquantitative analysis of mRNA and protein expression by Northern and Western blotting, etc.

Hi,

Seems Biophysics mid-semester grades drive everyone crazy.

Let's make it clear:

"mid-semester grades" are to express a students overall achievements during the instruction period. It is given as a kind of average (the exact method is determined by the department) of your tests and assignments and presentations you had to complete during the instruction period.
Actually this type of grade was called "progress grade" in the old Code of Studies, but in the new one it was given this name which I find very unfortunate.
Mid-semester grades are to be entered into the gradebook (contrary to the above mentioned assignments, presentations and test that really happen in the instruction period = "mid semester"...).
Everything happens to be entered into your gradebook should be entered into the ETR as well. To make it possible, for grades we create "exam sheets" (list of students’ name on one exam date in one subject, where the examiners can write in the grades given). So eg. in Chemistry those General medicine students who wish take their semester exams on the 19th January will sign up to the exam sheet for Chemistry January 19. This sheet is available for the students to sign up (using the ETR), and for the examiners to download it. At the exam the examiner will fill in the grade not only into your gradebook but on the printed exam sheet as well, as a duplicate or a minutes of the exam. The grades given at the exam and written also on the exam sheet will be entered into the ETR until the next working day by the department, so you and the Office and the department can see it in the system. The department keeps a copy of this sheet and sends the original sheet to the Registrar's Office. At the end of the exam period the Registrar’s Office (=RO) collects the gradebooks back from the students and matches the gradebook entries and the exam sheets.

department gives exam dates – RO enters them into ETR – students sign up for exam in ETR – department download exam sheet from ETR – student takes exam – examiner gives grade and writes it to gradebook at the end of the exam – department enters results to ETR – student can sign up for the next exam date (retake) if needed

A student can sign up for only one exam date at a time in one subject. That means if you signed up for the 17th, you can only sign up for the next exam date only if the grade given at the 17th exam is entered into the computer. It is important in case of retake exams.

Ok, let's get back to Biophysics and the other mid-semester grade subjects.
Mid-semester exams are special grades. They evaluate the semester's achievement just like semester exams and final exams, so they differ from the test etc. taken in the instruction period. They should be given on the last day of the instruction period (that will be the exam date). They are the A chance in that subject, and - at least in this semester - retakes can be taken during the exam period if the departments gave dates.

In case of mid-semester exams:
RO creates an exam sheet for the last day of the instruction period (15 Dec.) – RO puts everyone’s name (who took up the subject in the ETR at the beginning of semester) on this exam sheet: no one can sign off this sheet! – department fills in the results in the ETR – students can sign up for retake exams (if dates are given by department)

The specific Biophysics problem:
I talked to the Dept. of Biophysics, and they said that the problem is that they discuss the grades with you on your last practice. And you have practices even on Friday. So they planned to enter the grades to the ETR only on Monday morning. But in this case those intending to take their B chance on 18th of December wouldn't be able to sign up for this date (you know the deadline is 2 WORKING DAYS before, until 9 o'clock!). So we agreed with the department on the following:
- they enter the grades known at the moment into the ETR on Thursday morning, and if any of the grades changes they will correct it until Monday
- since you gave Marius a list of the exam applications in Biophysics, we can use them as a list of B chances. So after the department entered the mid-semester grades (A chances) - probably Thursday morning - I'll be able to put all the names to the desired exam date. Those satisfied with their A chance grades simply have to cancel the B chance date then, and the rest still can change their B chance dates if needed.
