Knowledge of functional foods by consumers
Get PDFOur research topic is current because of the fact that one of the main issues in human food consumption in Hungary today is the proper nutrition of people, or „you are what you eat”. In our work, we compare conventional foods with functional foods in terms of consumer awareness. We chose these two food types which can be produced in different ways because we investigate what is the opinion of consumers based on their different sexes, ages, and quality of life. We examine what is their feeling about conventional and functional foods, how well they know them.szabadon elérhető / Open acces
Kecskemét főterének kimagasló értékei: a fák
Get PDFTanulmányunkban Kecskemét főterének fásszárú növényeit mértük fel és meghatároztuk ezek korát és értékét. Felmérésünkben közel 250 fa és cserje került be. Ezek összértéke 1,4 milliárd forint. A fák átlagos életkora 38 év, közülük a legfiatalabb fák 4 évesek, a legidősebb 96 éves.szabadon elérhető / Open acces

Effects of tree size and park maintenance on soil seed bank of Gleditsia triacanthos, an exotic tree in urban green areas
Get PDFThe exotic honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) is often planted as ornamental tree in urban parks. In Hungary, it occasionally escapes cultivation, in other countries it has already become invasive, and thus, further spread cannot be ruled out. The production of copious long-lived seeds may contribute to its invasiveness. We investigated the soil seed bank of honey locust growing in urban parks of Budapest (Hungary). Soil samples of 1200 cm3 were taken under the canopy of 48 solitary female trees, seeds were extracted by washing, and their viability was assessed by germination test following scarification. For each tree, trunk circumference and level of park maintenance were recorded. Seed bank density varied between 0 and 500 seeds/m2 and in 17 out of 48 cases, it exceeded 100 seeds/m2. Larger trees tended to form better-developed soil seed bank than smaller ones, yet the level of park maintenance has a much stronger effect: trees in neglected parks produced five-times higher density on average than those in perfectly managed parks (126.4 and 24.5 seeds/m2, respectively). For a better understanding of the species’ invasion risk, detailed seed ecological studies are needed and to prevent its further spreading, a more careful treatment of its litter is recommended.szabadon elérhető / Open acces
Structural and administrative implications of the Trianon Peace Treaty, 1920
Get PDFWorld War I re-organised European power and territorial relations. The victors (Entente member countries) emerged from the war with significant territorial gains, while the losers (Central Powers) suffered considerable losses and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was dissolved. The political-territorial power structure of the Monarchy was extremely complex. The aim of this study is to presenthow state and territorial administrations were reorganized in the newly independent Hungary. The dissolution of the Monarchy led to the dismantling of the multi-ethnic and quasi-federal state of historical Hungary. While the Hungarian government recognised the secession of Croatia-Slavonia, it firmly opposed the detachment of other territories; notwith-standing, by the end of December 1918, various nationalities (Slovaks, Romanians, Serbs) had formed quasi-blocks in Hungary and proclaimed their secession. Hungary became a sovereign state after losing the majority of the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary (71.4%) and 63.5% of its population. Defeat in the war was the major factor behind the country's disintegration that neither the civil democratic revolution and transformation nor the bloody internal proletarian dictatorship were able to reverse. The Trianon Peace Treaty simply sanctioned the changes that had already taken place through international treaties and international law. The territorial administrative division of the new Hungary was completely distorted due to the truncated cross-border counties. The 1923 territorial correction was no more than an attempt to merge the truncated counties and county fragments. This study is based primarily on cartographic analysis.szabadon elérhető / Open acces
