Segner, János András (John Andrew) (Pozsony, now Bratislava, Slovakia, 9 October 1704 - Halle, Germany, 5 October 1777) – Natural scientist, mathematician, physician. He completed his secondary school education in Pozsony and Győr. He started his tertiary studies at the Debrecen Reformed College and continued at the University of Medical Sciences at Jena, Germany, in the fields of physics and mathematics. He was awarded his Medical Degree in 1730; practiced medicine in Pozsony, and was later Chief Physician of Debrecen. In 1732 he taught at Jena University. At the newly founded Göttingen University, he taught physics, mathematics and chemistry from 1735 to 1755. In the meantime, he was also engaged in studies in astronomy, and established the observatory at Göttingen University. He was Professor of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy at Halle University from 1755 until his death. Segner’s research covered all areas of physics, mathematics and chemistry. He accomplished his most important achievements in physics: the dynamics of liquids and solids. Leonard Euler used Segner’s work to formulate the Euler turbine equation. Segner's name is usually associated with the Segner wheel (Segner kerék) that is considered to be the prototype of the turbine. Meteorology historians acclaim him as the founder of mathematical meteorology. There is an important theorem that is attributed to him: any object, regardless of its shape, has a certain neutral point, where three imaginary lines cut each other in right angles. There, the effect of centrifugal force is annihilated. Segner proposed the use of sulfur oxide to disinfect wheat-planting seeds and the use of wood ash for fertilizing. He also kept busy studying the technology of manufacturing sugar, alcohol and gunpowder. He wrote excellent mathematical textbooks on a level with the knowledge of his era. His fame as a mathematician and natural scientist was recognized throughout Europe. Several scientific societies and academies invited him into their membership – B: 1078, 0883, 1123, 1153, T: 7675.→Segner Wheel. Segner Wheel – Water wheel, Segner’s reaction wheel, propelled by forces of counter effects; prototype of the turbine, invented by János (John) Segner, This consists of two Z-shaped tubes laid out diagonally and rotating along their vertical axis. As the liquid flowed through them, the wheel gained momentum counter to the flow. The Segner wheel was tested at Norten, near Göttingen, in a specially built grain mill. He also tried to prove the efficiency of the process by mathematical calculations. At the beginning of the 19th century, a Segner wheel was built in Hungary based on the plans of Farkas Kempelen, to power the mining machinery at the Hodrus mine. – B: 1078, 1138, 1730, 1020, T: 7675, 7456.→Segner, János András; Kempelen, Farkas. Seiber, Mátyás (Matthew) (Budapest, 5 May 1905 - Johannesburg, South-African Republic, 25 September 1960) – Composer. From 1921 to 1925 he studied cello with Alfred Schiffer, and composition with Zoltán Kodály. From 1928 he was Professor of Jazz Instrumentation at the Hochschule für Musik in Frankfurt am Main, besides being the cellist and later the conductor of the Radio Orchestra of Frankfurt. He moved to London in 1935 and, from 1943, he taught at Morley College. In 1945 he established a chamber choir, called the Dorian Singers. He gained fame mainly with his cantatas, chamber choruses, violin and cello concertos, as well as with his film music. He wrote studies on the string quartets and chamber works of Béla Bartók, and also on jazz. His major works are: the Transylvanian Rhapsody (Erdélyi Rapszódia) (1941); Cantata Saecularis (1951), and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Chamber Cantata after Joyce (1957). – B: 0883, T: 7684.→Kodály, Zoltán; Bartók, Béla. Seidl, Anton (Antal) (Budapest, 7 May 1850 - New York, USA, 28 March 1898) – Opera conductor. He was studying at the Leipzig Conservatory, Germany (1870-1872), when he was called to Bayreuth as one of Wagner’s copyists. There, he assisted in making the first fair copy of Der Ring des Nibelungen. Then it was natural that he should take a part in the first Bayreuth Festival in 1876. His opportunity to perform as a conductor came when, on Wagner’s recommendation, he was appointed to the Leipzig Stadt-Theater, where he remained. In 1882 he went on tour with Angelo Neumann’s Nibelungen Ring Company. The critics attributed to his conducting the artistic success of the production of the Trilogy at her Majesty’s Theatre in London in June of that year. In 1883 he went with Neumann to Bremen and, two years later, was appointed successor to Leopold Damrosch as conductor of the German Opera in New York. In America, Seidl’s orchestra became famous. In 1886 he was one of the conductors in Bayreuth and, in 1897 in Covent Garden, London. Seidl assisted Richard Wagner in the preparation of the scores of the ‘Ring’ music and was one of the most inspired of the Wagner conductors. To his memory the Anton Seidl Society and the Anton Seidl Award were founded. – B: 0903, T: 7103. Seinfeld, Jerry (Jerome A.) (Brooklyn, New York, 29 April, 1954 - ) – Actor, comedian, writer. He was born to Hungarian Kálmán (Coloman) Seinfeld, the funniest man in his family, the owner of a sign-making company, and his wife, Betty. His family moved to Long Island where he spent his childhood. After graduating from high school, Seinfeld went on to college, first attending the State University of New York, and then moving on to Queens College of the City University of New York, where he received a Bachelor's Degree in communications and theater in 1976. Seinfeld performed while in his college years and, after graduation he began working in New York comedy clubs, often without pay, while working a number of odd jobs. Seinfeld's “observational humor” slowly established him on the comedy club circuit. In 1981, Seinfeld appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson, where he became a frequent guest, as well as David Letterman's late-night talk show. Then he starred in several cable TV specials and series. Seinfeld and his friend Larry David began working up an idea for a situation comedy and in 1990 the show name “Seinfeld” with his circle of friends appeared on NBC, and became its most successful series. Among his books are: Seinlanguage (1993), and Halloween, for children (2003). His films include Good Money (1996); Comedian (2002), and Bee Movie (2007). Seinfeld was honored with more than 20 major awards and nearly 60 nominations including an Emmy, Golden Globe and three People's Choice Awards; in addition, two Writers Guild Awards of America. The successful standup comic Jerry Seinfeld is the most influential comedian of his generation; a critically acclaimed as a stand-up comic, television actor, and best-selling author. – B: 1081, 1031, T: 7103. Seismology – The science of observation, monitoring, recording the causes of earthquake waves, as well as developing possible conclusions regarding the Earth's internal structure. Earthquakes perceptible through the human senses have been recorded for millennia. Pál (Paul) Kitaibel constructed the first map, quantitatively showing the destructive effect of an earthquake for the earthquake of 1810 at Mór, Hungary. This was the world’s first earthquake map. – B: 1138, T: 7674.→Kitaibel, Paul. Selényi, Pál (Paul) (Adony, 17 November 1884 - Budapest, l March 1954) – Physicist. He obtained his Degree in physics and mathematics from the Budapest University of Sciences in 1907, where he was an assistant to the famous Professor Loránd Eötvös. After earning a Ph.D. in 1910, he continued his studies in Berlin and Göttingen on a scholarship. He worked as a research engineer at the United Incandescent Ltd. Budapest, (Egyesült Izzó, TUNGSRAM) from 1921 until his retirement 1939. He was on the staff at the Space and Form architectural magazine until 1945, then at the Hungarian News Agency. He was granted an honorary lecturer (privat-dozent) status by the University of Budapest, and was invited to become a member of the Hungarian Academy of Science in 1948. In 1950, he was appointed to a university professorship. Between 1928 and 1935 Selényi completed preliminary studies on basic techniques of physical reproductions, but obtained only a partial patent protection for his inventions. Chester F. Carlson, a physicist and patent agent exploited this fact, registered the patent under his own name, and teamed with the Xerox and Rank companies to dominate the world market until the patent protection right expired in the 1960s. However, he did not pursue the matter of his failed patent rights. Selényi achieved significant results in the areas of classic and technical physics. His famous experiment involving wide-angle interference proved the ball-shaped wave nature of light, thereby disputing Einstein’s theory on heat-radiation. He was also an internationally respected authority on photographing interiors, art objects, heritage buildings and historic monuments. – B: 0883, 1138, T: 7675.→Eötvös, Baron Loránd. Sellei, Camillo (Soroksár, 20 September 1902 - Budapest, 8 August 1979) – Physician, internal specialist, oncologist. He completed his medical studies in 1927 at the Medical School of the University of Budapest. As a young doctor he started working at the Korányi Clinic. He was a member of the Korányi School. It was at the Korányi Clinic that he first came into contact with cancer research. Already in the 1930s he was researching, together with László (Ladislas) Karczag, László (Ladislas) Németh and Béla Jani, the possibility of treatment with medication in the spirit of the then revolutionary new chemotherapy. In the course of this they were the first to recognize the reducing effect of mustard gas on tumors. In 1944 and 1945 he was saving labor camp inmates, and after 1945 he worked as an internal specialist at the Hospital on Vas Street, Budapest, treating deportees. Later he joined Professor Imre (Emeric) Hajnal and, as a senior assistant professor, helped rebuild the No. II Clinic of Internal Medicine. In 1951, for political reasons, he was forced to leave the clinic together with numerous colleagues. He could only continue his researches after the formation of the National Institute of Oncology (Országos Onkológiai Intézet). That is where he found a place of work and fellowship in which he could be successfully active until the end of his life. For 25 years he was Head Specialist of the Internal Medicine Department. Sellei was the guiding force of tumor-chemotherapy research. During the course of his activity, six new compounds for tumor treatment became available. He wrote his Ph.D. dissertation in 1966 in this subject. The first book on tumor-therapy in the Hungarian language appeared under his editing; later the same was published in English as well. He also represented the Hungarian cytostaticum research on an international level. His research and organizational activities were also acknowledged internationally. He was a member of numerous foreign societies of medical science, among them the Academy of Sciences of New York from 1958. He was a well-known lecturer at congresses, frequently presiding over meetings. His works include Functional Diagnostics (Funkcionalis diagnostika), with Antal Fischer (Vienna, 1940); Twenty-Five Years Fight Against Cancer, co-editor (Budapest, 1966); Treatment of Tumorous Illnesses with Medication (Daganatos betegségek gyógyszeres kezelése), with Sándor Eckhardt, László Németh (Budapest, 1968), and Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases, with Sándor Eckhardt and László Németh (Budapest, 1970). – B: 0883, T: 7684.→Karczag, László; Németh, László; Korányi, Baron Frigyes. Sellyei, József (Joseph) (Miskovics) (Vágsellye, now Šaľa, Slovakia, 1 January 1909 -Vágselye, 6 March 1941) – Hungarian writer in Slovakia (formerly North Hungary). He came from a peasant family; and lived in part the life of a peasant. In his writings social issues received priority. He first appeared with his writing local newspapers. In 1929 he published a volume of free-style poetry entitled Lad of the Carnival (Farsang legénye) poems (1929). His prose writings were published in the newspapers Our Times (Korunk); the New Word (Új Szó); The Road (Az Út); the Hungarian Sun (Magyar Nap), and later: the West Nyugat; the Free Word (Szabad Szó); the Work (Munka), and the People of the East (Kelet Népe). He lived under difficult circumstances and, at the end of the 1930s, he became ill. His works include Reed-covered Houses (Nádas házak) novel (1931); Stories, Written in the Night (Éjszaka írt vovellák), stories (1932); The Ground Ran Out From Under Him (Elfogyott a föld alóla), novel (1936). Sándor (Alex) Csanda published his selected works with an introductory study (Bratislava, 1957). – B: 0883, 1890, T: 7684. S  elye, János (John) (Vienna, Austria, 26 January 1907 - Montreal, PQ, Canada, 20 October 1982) – Physician. He graduated from High School in Komárom, and studied Medicine at the German University of Prague. From 1924 he spent some years at the universities of Paris and Rome, and finally obtained his Medical Degree in Prague in 1929. He was awarded a scholarship in 1931, and emigrated to Canada as a biochemistry lecturer at McGill (French) University in Montreal. From 1934 he was an assistant professor, and in 1941, became full professor. From 1945 he was the director and teacher at his own Institute, the Institut de Medicine et de Chirurgie Experimentale. From his retirement until his death, Selye worked as the President of the newly organized International Institute of Stress. Following lengthy and persevering research work through the methodical examination of thousands of experimental animals, Selye recognized and drew up the definition of stress. He identified the many oppressive (stress) factors for stress and recognized its morbid, consequently disease-causing effect as well. Selye performed experimental studies relating to myocardial infarction, the typical disease of the modern era. Selye contributed to many publications. His widely acknowledged book, the Textbook of Endocrinology, was published in 1949. Selye wrote hundreds of studies, among them studies for 12 major and 6 minor researches. He was an editorial board member of 25 scientific publications and delivered lectures in ten different languages all over the world. Many of his twenty-two books were translated into ten languages. Between 1950 and 1967, as an appreciation of his contributions, Selye was awarded an honorary doctorate of the universities from nine countries, as well as memberships to 110 academies. The University of Komárom, a high school and a hospital in Komárom (Slovakia), bear his name. – B: 1288, 1123, 1730, T: 7660
Sélyei M. István (Stephen) (Sélye, Selje, Selye or Sellye, born about 1627 - Pápa, November 1692) – Cleric of the Reformed Church in Pápa. From 1669, he was Bishop of Transdanubia (Dunántúl). In 1674 the Martial Law Court of Pozsony (now Bratislava, Slovakia) sentenced him to death, because he refused to renounce his Reformed faith. He was not executed, but was kept in jail for a while and then sent to suffer as a galley slave with the fleet of Naples. In 1676, Dutch Admiral, Michael de Ruyter, freed him together with his surviving companions. He went to Germany and later to Switzerland. In 1677 he returned to Hungary and worked as a pastor in Pápa for some 15 years until his death. His greeting speech to the town of Zürich survived as a manuscript (in Hungarian translation it was published in the paper Observer (Figyelő) (1881); also his letter written to Mihály (Michael) Teleki (in Protestant Gazette 1888, no. 26). His works include Cemetery Garden (Temető kert) funeral orations (1655), and Traveling Companion (Útitárs), occasional sermons (1657). – B: 0883, 0931, T: 7456.→“Decade of Mourning”; Kollonich, Lipót; Galley slavery; Ruyter, Michael de; Simonides, János. S  emmelweis, Ignác Fülöp (Ignatius Philip) (Buda, 1 July 1818 - Vienna, 13 August 1865) – Physician. He studied in Buda, attended Law School at Vienna University, but soon switched to medical studies at Pest. He received his Medical Degree at Vienna University in 1844, and became a surgeon and obstetrician in 1846. He started to work in Vienna at a well-known pathology institute. In 1846 Semmelweis accepted a position as an assistant at a maternity hospital in Vienna. In this hospital the medical students received pathology training as well. The rate of death from puerperal fever at this hospital was higher than in other maternity hospitals, where there was no pathology practice. Semmelweis demonstrated that puerperal fever was not an independent disease but a consequence of infection and could be prevented by chlorine disinfection. In his department, Semmelweis ordered that every doctor wash his hands with chlorine water before obstetrical examination. As a result, the death rate significantly decreased. His theory ran counter to contemporary thought and his Austrian colleagues rejected the theory, that “a disease could be prevented by hand washing”. Semmelweis was ridiculed even in his own place of work. Although he achieved the title of Associate Professor (Privatdozent), he became depressed and returned to Pest, where he assumed an unpaid position as head obstetrician of Rókus Hospital. In 1855 he became Professor of Obstetrics at Pest University. In the meantime, the Maternity Hospital of Zurich University also invited him, but Semmelweis refused the invitation. As a result of Semmelweis’ methods, puerperal fever was almost eliminated at his clinic in Pest and, consequently, the Semmelweis procedure was initiated at other maternity institutes in Hungary. Only a few foreign obstetricians accepted the Semmelweis procedure, Puerperal fever continued to devastate young mothers abroad until an international debate developed an argument for Semmelweis’ methods. Semmelweis suffered a nervous breakdown and died in the neurological hospital in Vienna. He was the greatest figure in the field of Hungarian medical science. He not only discovered the cause of puerperal fever – for which he was named the “Saviour of Mothers” – but his practices were the early precursors of aseptic surgical principles. Long before Pasteur, Semmelweis discovered the contagious role of bacteria. The jealous Austrian professors prevented the publication of his findings. Semmelweis, however, made use of the results in public practice. Only after his death did the world recognize Semmelweis’ epoch-making discoveries. Lord Joseph Lister, the founder of modern surgery, wrote of Semmelweis: “Without Semmelweis I would not have achieved anything. Surgery is indebted to Hungary’s great son....”. Semmelweis was an excellent surgeon as well. He was the first in Hungary to perform ovarian surgery and the second to perform Cesarean sections. In memory of Semmelweis, the Medical University of Budapest in 1960 founded the “Semmelweis Memorial Medal”, awarded annually. In 1965, on the 100th anniversary of Semmelweis’ death, his remains were placed to eternal rest in an honorary grave in the yard of the house of his birth, which is now the Museum of Medical History. – B: 1078, 0883, 1288, 1730, T: 7660.
Semsey-Halmos-Csáky Plan – During the first days of December 1919, Andor (Andre) Semsey, a landed gentleman from northern Hungary, and Károly (Charles) Halmos, a lawyer from Kassa (now Košice, Slovakia), who had close family connections with several French generals, went to Paris to see General Destremeau and Captain Veil – the head of the political department of the French army command, to seek their help in the cause of a French-Hungarian rapprochement. After receiving a favorable response, they traveled to Budapest and, having made an agreement with Count Pál (Paul) Teleki, who headed the Office of Peace Preparations, they returned to Paris on 20 January 1920. In Paris, accompanied by General Hubert Lyautey (1854-1934), Chief-of-Staff Maxime Weygand (1867-1965), and Foreign Minister Briand, they were received by Prime Minister Clemenceau. As a follow-up to the audience, they conducted further negotiations with Louis Loucheur, the Minister of Trade. On the basis of the Hungarian Government’s previous consent, the French Government foresaw Hungary as the future center of the Schneider-Creuzot French Concern in Eastern Europe. The Hungarian State Railways and the ironworks of Budapest and Diósgyőr would be on lease to France for 33 years, and the French banks would be able to participate in the re-capitalization of the Hungarian General Credit Bank, receiving 1/7th of its shares. The French, on their part, expressed their willingness to help Hungary in the question of border modifications, if in her foreign and internal policies Hungary was willing to consider the French point of view. In 1920, before the signing of the Peace Treaty of Trianon, the French Central Command supported a modification of the proposed Trianon borders, which matched about the size of the areas returned to Hungary in the two Vienna Awards (1938, 1940). A letter of intent with respect of the options involved in the agreement with the French was formulated on 29 May 1920, and a delegation, whose members included Count István (Stephen) Csáky, the future foreign minister, was dispatched to Paris. On 7 June 1920 (three days after the Peace of Trianon), in the French Foreign Ministry, in a formal ceremony, the French-Hungarian Friendship Treaty was signed. After the signing of the Treaty, General Gábor (Gabriel) Tánczos and Colonel Baron Boldizsár (Balthasar) Láng had a meeting with Maxime Weygand, the French Chief-of-Staff. Maurice Fouchet, the Chief Commissioner of France in Budapest, had an audience with Regent Horthy expressing his Government’s satisfaction with the agreement. In the question of border modifications, the French Government was only willing to take action at a later undetermined date, while the Hungarian Government wished the immediate implementation of at least some of the French promises. Since the French refused to act on Hungary’s behalf in the immediate future, the Hungarian Government was reluctant to concede much of the country’s most important economic interests to a foreign government without a proper and immediate quid pro quo, and eventually dropped the whole matter from its agenda. – B: 1020, T: 7665.→Csáky, Count Pál; Teleki, Count Pál; Trianon Peace Treaty; Vienna Award I; Vienna Award II, Paris Peace Treaty. Semseyite (Pb9Sb8S21) – Lead antimony sulfide, its composition is similar to that of jamesonite, while in appearance it resembles plagionite. It has monoclinal, small tabular crystals, metallic luster and a gray color. It was discovered by József Sándor (Joseph Alexander) Krenner in Felsőbánya in 1881 and was named in honor of science patron Andor (Andre) Semsey. It is also found in Radna (in Trasylvania, now Romania), and lately also in the Harz Mountains. – B: 1078, T: 7674.→ Krenner, József Sándor.
