Budapest - HUN 46TH WORLD MILITARY MODERN PENTATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP Budapest - HUN WELCOME GREETING Esteemed Competitors, Dear Friends of Sport, It is a great honor for Hungary, the Hungarian Defence Forces, our soldier athletes and for the HONVÉD Sports Club Budapest that our country hosts the CISM 46th World Military Modern Pentathlon Championship. The Pentathlon (consisting of running, jumping, throwing the spear, throwing the discus and wrestling) was introduced for the first time at the 18th Olympiad in 708 BC and held a position of unique importance in the Games. 2619 years later, in 1911, during the 14th session of the International Olympic Committee in Budapest, the Modern Pentathlon was re- introduced as an olympic sport created from important military skills as fencing, swimming, horse riding, shooting and running. The founder of the Modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin believed, that Modern Pentathlon tested a man’s moral qualities as much as his physical resources and skills, producing thereby the ideal, complete athlete. Connecting the words of Baron Coubertin, everywhere in the world, the “complete soldiers” form a close-knit community based on joint service and camaraderie. I wish you to be able to further strengthen the military community of athletes around the world, go beyond your limits, have new experiences, make new friendships here in Budapest, and return to your country with outstanding sporting achievements. Brigadier General Attila TAKÁCS Chairman of the Organizing Committee 46TH WORLD MILITARY MODERN PENTATHLON CHAMPIONSHIP Budapest - HUN 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Host City Budapest Hungary lies in the middle of Europe, in the Carpathian Basin since its foundation, which 1100th anniversary was celebrated in 1996. Its capital is Budapest. Hungary has about 10 million inhabitants. Form of government: Republic. Countries that border Hungary are Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. Hungary is member of the NATO since 1999 and European Union (EU) since 2004. In Hungarian the country is called “Magyarország” Hungary's geography is defined by its two main waterways, the Danube and the Tisza. These two rivers divide the country into three sections: Dunántúl (literally "beyond the Danube" or Transdanubia), Tiszántúl ("beyond the Tisza"), and Duna-Tisza köze ("between the Danube and Tisza"). Transdanubia is a primarily hilly region which includes the very eastern stretch of the Alps (called Alpokalja), the Transdanubian Mountains in the central region, and the Mecsek and Villány Mountains (both famous for their vineyards) in the south. The northern part of the country is covered by the foothills of the Carpathians. Hungary’s highest peak with its 1014 metres, The Kékes, is also found here. The country is home to the world’s largest thermal water cave system and the second largest thermal lake – „Hévíz” in Hungarian, the largest lake in Central Europe – Lake Balaton – and Europe’s largest natural grasslands – The Great Hungarian Plain or „Alföld” in Hungarian. 1.2 Useful Information Accomodation: Budapest 1.

H-6722 Szeged, Hungary 2Universität Leipzig, Ritterstraße 26. DE-04109 Leipzig, Germany *Corresponding authors E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] (Manuscript received in final form December 18, 2012) Abstract–In the Carpathian Basin, drought is a severe natural hazard that causes extensive damage. Over the next century, drought is likely to remain one of the most serious natural hazards in the region. Motivated by this hazard, the analysis presented in this paper outlines the spatial and temporal changes of the drought hazard through the end of this century using the REMO and ALADIN regional climate model simulations. The aim of this study was to indicate the magnitude of the drought hazard and the potentially vulnerable areas for the periods 2021–2050 and 2071–2100, assuming the A1B emission scenario. The magnitude of drought hazard was calculated by aridity (De Martonne) and drought indices (Pálfai drought index, standardised anomaly index). By highlighting critical drought hazard areas, the analysis can be applied in spatial planning to create more optimal land and water management to eliminate the increasing drought hazard and the related wind erosion hazard. During the 21st century, the drought hazard is expected to increase in a spatially heterogeneous manner due to climate change. On the basis of temperature and precipitation data, the largest increase in the drought hazard by the end of the 21st century is simulated to occur in the Great Hungarian Plain.

Analysis of the Transdanubian region of Hungary according to plant species diversity and floristic geoelement categories.Folia Oecologica, 44: 1–10. The aim of this study was to describe the proportion of floristic geoelements and plant biodiversity in the macroregions of Transdanubia. The core data source used for the analysis was the database of the Hungar- ian Flora Mapping Programme. The analysed data were summarized in tables and distribution maps. The percentage of continental elements was higher in dry areas, whereas the proportion of circumboreal elements was higher in humid and rainy parts of Transdanubia. According to the climatic zones, the highest value of continental geoelement group occurred in the forest-steppe zone. The plant species diversity and geoele- ments were analysed also on a lower scale, with Transdanubia specified into five macroregions. The highest diversity values were found in the Transdanubian Mountain and West-Transdanubian regions because of the climatic, topographic, and habitat diversity.

  • Modelling the Impacts of Climate Change on Shallow Groundwater Conditions in Hungary
    water Article Modelling the Impacts of Climate Change on Shallow Groundwater Conditions in Hungary Attila Kovács 1,* and András Jakab 2 1 Department of Engineering Geology and Geotechnics, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M˝uegyetemrkp. 1, 1111 Budapest, Hungary 2 Jakab és Társai Kft., 32 Jászóvár utca, 2100 Gödöll˝o,Hungary; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to develop a methodology for the evaluation of direct climate impacts on shallow groundwater resources and its country-scale application in Hungary. A modular methodology was applied. It comprised the definition of climate zones and recharge zones, recharge calculation by hydrological models, and the numerical modelling of the groundwater table. Projections of regional climate models for three different time intervals were applied for the simulation of predictive scenarios. The investigated regional climate model projections predict rising annual average temperature and generally dropping annual rainfall rates throughout the following decades. Based on predictive modelling, recharge rates and groundwater levels are expected to drop in elevated geographic areas such as the Alpokalja, the Eastern parts of the Transdanubian Mountains, the Mecsek, and Northern Mountain Ranges. Less significant groundwater level drops are predicted in foothill areas, and across the Western part of the Tiszántúl, the Duna-Tisza Interfluve, and the Szigetköz areas. Slightly increasing recharge and groundwater levels are predicted in the Transdanubian Hills and the Western part of the Transdanubian Mountains. Simulation results Citation: Kovács, A.; Jakab, A. represent groundwater conditions at the country scale. However, the applied methodology is suitable Modelling the Impacts of Climate for simulating climate change impacts at various scales.

  • Hungarian Travertines
    HUNGARIAN TRAVERTINES Ferenc SCHWEITZER - Gyula SCHEUER ABSTRACT The travertine levels, which overlie each in a step-like fashion can be divided into two groups (the horizons of travertines were numbered from the lowest point (Budapest, Rómaifürdő, 107 m.a.s.l.) up to the highest (Buda Mountains, Szabadsághegy-Normafa,493 m a.s.l.), so their symbols are T, — T12. First are the members of the lower series deposited close to each other on the valley-side terrace between 107 and 240 m a.s.l. (horizons T, — T7). Second are the members of the higher series deposited on older geomorphological levels (T8 — Tl2) which succeed each other with considerable local height difference and are iithologically different from the lower series. Correlations between the lower travertine series and the terraces of the Danube and its tributaries. Travertine T, can be associated with the first flood-free (Il/a) terrace, travertine T2 with the second flood-free terrace (Il/b), and so on up to horizon T5, which is deposited directly on the terrace No. V. north of Budapest. The travertine horizons Ts, Th and T7 are best represented in the Gerecse Mountains, where they lie on terraces V, VI, VII of the Danube and occasionally on those of its tributaries. The absolute age of selected travertines deposited on the terraces was determined by means of the Th/U method (PÉCSI, — OSMOND, J.K. 1973). and gave ages of 70 000 years for travertine T2 (Óbuda terrace Il/b), 190 000 years for travertine T, (Kiscell Plateau) and more than 350 000 years for the travertine T4 (Vértesszőlős — Buda Castle Hill).

    Archaeologia Polona, vol. 55 : 2017, 243 – 265 PL ISSN 0066 - 5924 Radiolarite sources from the Bakony mountains: new research Attila Botond Szilasia New geological data on the Transdanubian radiolarites and a revision of the so called Szent- gál-complex has brought a new archaeological picture of the Bakony mountains. Earlier radiolarite subgroups such as Szentgál-type, Hárskút-type or Úrkút-Eplény-type have no further relevance, because colour variation cannot be used as an indication of the exact location of the different chert outcrops. All possible colour variations, from brick-red to dark brown and varying yellowish, can be found in all parts of the Bakony mountains. Independent CRF-examinations resulted in similar observations. Such radiolarites can be found throughout the Bakony mountain range with uniform variation across the massif. Technological examination of different chopped tools from the surrounding archaeological settlements of Szentgál has provided fresh data: the settle- ments round Szentgál were not directly connected to the mines and to tool production. The pres- ence of flakes, reduced cores, tablets and large volumes of waste indicate that these were not workshops preparing the mined raw material, but rather sites of regular tool production. KEY-WORDS: chert, radiolarite, Transdanubian radiolarite, Bakony mountains, CRF- -examination, Szentgál-komplex INTRODUCTION The diversity of raw materials in the chipped stone industry in the Transdanubian region of Hungary is not that significant. The so-called Transdanubian radiolarite dominates the archaeological lithic assemblages, mostly in conjunction with different grey flint types from Tevel and other areas of the Bakony mountains. Obsidian is seldom found in the lithic collection, as retouched tools or as supports.

  • Complexity and Autonomy in Bronze Age Europe: Assessing Cultural Developments in Eastern Hungary
    COMPLEXITY AND AUTONOMY IN BRONZE AGE EUROPE: ASSESSING CULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS IN EASTERN HUNGARY by Paul R. Duffy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor John M. O’Shea, Chair Professor Daniel G. Brown Professor Robert E. Whallon Jr. Professor Henry T. Wright © Paul R. Duffy 2010 For my Mother and Father ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My interest in comparative anthropology was ignited during my undergraduate degree while taking classes with Bruce Trigger at McGill University. Although I found the comparison of states fascinating, my interest centered on the long developmental sequences that led to their formation. When I arrived in Ann Arbor in 2001, I wanted to compare the prehistoric trajectories of complex societies, and explain why they diverged. It was fortuitous that Joyce Marcus suggested I spend a summer in Hungary on Bill Parkinson’s NSF funded project in 2002. Meeting with Bill and Attila Gyucha, his Hungarian colleague, would set in motion close collaborative friendships that would allow the study of the eastern Hungarian Bronze Age contained within these pages. My debt to them and countless others is enormous. Many people facilitated my entry into Hungary. Pál Raczky generously provided input on my project when I was first becoming acquainted with the Hungarian Bronze Age. Magdi Vicze was very kind in introducing me to Százhalombatta archaeology and answering my questions about the Great Hungarian Plain. In and around Budapest, I have been warmly greeted by the next generation of Bronze Age specialists: Dani Fukőh, Brigitta Berzsényi, Vajk Szeverényi, Attila Kreiter, Gabi Kúlcsár, Viktória Kiss, Klara Fischl, László Reményi, János Dani and many others.
