Abstract As a dynamic literary form, the short story offers literary scholarship a unique opportunity to explore the complex tension between tradition and innovation. The interplay between historical continuity and poetic variability becomes particularly evident in the genre of the short story cycle, which integrates the poetic logic of both the classical short story and the novel. This study examines how the short story cycle emerges as a literary form of fragmentation, intertextuality, and narrative openness through the analysis of two contemporary Hungarian short story collections: László Csabai’s Szindbád, a detektív [Szindbád, the Detective] and Ádám Bodor’s Verhovina madarai [The Birds of Verhovina]. The investigation focuses on the adaptive potential and cultural mediating function of the short story genre, with special attention to the world-building models, cyclic composition strategies, and meaning-generating structures of contemporary texts.

The accumulation of organic compound from waste feed and feces from intensive catfish culture can give negative impact to the water quality. On the other hand, the need of live feed for freshwater fish larvae are not sufficient. The aim of this research was to study the effectivity of intensively catfish culture wastewater as a media for Daphnia sp. culture. The experimental research design was completely randomized with five treatments, i.e: Using 5 g/l of chicken manure in the media culture of Daphnia as a control while treatments B, C, and D were using wastewater of intensively catfish culture. The concentration of wastewater of intensively catfish culture was 25%, 50%, 75%,and each treatment was replicated four times. Broodstock of Daphnia sp. used at least 1mm diameter with stocking density 20 ind / liter. Data on population growth of Daphnia sp. obtained were processed using analysis of variance with confidence interval of 95%, followed by least significant difference test (LSD). Furthermore, water quality parameters and density of plankton was examined as supporting data. The water quality data was observed every 4 days and plankton density observation was conducted at the beginning and the end of the study. The result of this research showed that the wastewater of an intensive catfish culture could be used as an alternative media for Daphnia sp. culture. Based on the analysis showed that the different media of Daphnia sp. culture significantly influenced to the population growth of Daphnia sp. The most effective media for Daphnia sp. culture in this research was treatment C and D i.e. 75 % and 100% of waste water of intensive catfish culture.
