Nagyvárad (Oradea) and Bihardiószeg (Diosig) celebrate together with Debrecen Cultural relations between the two regions straddling the two sides of the border between Rumania and Hungary, that is, Bihor County and Hajdú-Bihar County and those between Debrecen and Nagyvárad (Oradea) are also getting ever closer. Out of the floats taking part in the August 20 Flower Carnival in Debrecen five will pay a visit to Nagyvárad (Oradea) on August 21 and to Bihardiószeg (Diosig) one day later. Ms. Diána Széles, deputy mayor of Debrecen, responsible for the field of tourism, gave a press conference on the topic on July 31, 2018, and pointed out that the Flower Carnival is instrumental in creating community, offers the experience of love and belonging together, which is further strenghtened by flower floats visiting more and more localities so that the residents of each such place should be alive to the experience of Debrecen’s carnivals hardly comparable with anything of its kind. It is the 13th time the floats go over to Nagyvárad (Oradea) and the locals tend to call it ’’the flower carnival of Várad” –added the deputy mayor, making the remark that it is the first time the floats are not going to return to Debrecen afterwards, but they leave for Bihardiószeg (Diosig), the centre of the Érmellék (Ierside) wine growing region. Mr. Birta Florin, deputy mayor of Nagyvárad (Oradea) related that this year the two cities are symbolically present on one flower float represented by the respective buildings of the State Theatre of Nagyvárad and Csokonai Theatre of Debrecen. Through the twin city relations maintained by Nagyvárad (Oradea) and Debrecen they are united in the sphere of culture – as the Rumanian leader put it. Mr. Sándor Pásztor, President of the Bihor County Council made the remark that Bihardiósz6eg (Diosig) is half-way between Debrecen and Nagyvárad with 70 thousand Hungarian people living in the Érmellék (Ierside) region, constituting about 80 per cent of the local population. The joint flower float of Bihor County Council and the Hajdú-Bihar County local government will also allude to the traditions in wine-growing, reminiscent of the circumstance that wine and merry-making complement each other very well – he added. Mr. László Bulcsú, vice-president of the Hajdú-Bihar County General Assembly voiced his opinion that by virtue of the flower floats of the Debrecen Flower Carnival reaching Bihardiószeg (Diosig), the one-time vineyard of Debrecen ’’Érmellék (Ierside) returns to Debrecen”. Mr. Attila Mados, mayor of Bihardiószeg (Diosig) called it a joyful development that Nagyvárad (Oradea) and Bihar (Bihor) joins Debrecen and Hajdú-Bihar County in celebrating the Hungarian state holiday. ’’It conveys an important message that we (Rumanians and Hungarians) can celebrate together” added the mayor, remarking that Bihardiószeg (Diosig) residents are also preparing for the Carnival with several cultural programmes, with the performances of singers, rock-groups and the folk- dance performances of folk-ensembles from neighbouring villages.

Hungary: Jewish Family History Research Guide Hungary (Magyarorszag) Like Most European Countries, Hungary’S Borders Have Changed Considerably Over Time
Courtesy of the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute Updated June 2011 Hungary: Jewish Family History Research Guide Hungary (Magyarorszag) Like most European countries, Hungary’s borders have changed considerably over time. In 1690 the Austrian Hapsburgs completed the reconquest of Hungary and Transylvania from the Ottoman Turks. From 1867 to 1918, Hungary achieved autonomy within the “Dual Monarchy,” or Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as full control over Transylvania. After World War I, the territory of “Greater Hungary” was much reduced, so that areas that were formerly under Hungarian jurisdiction are today located within the borders of Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia (Serbia). Hungary regained control over some of these areas during the Holocaust period, but lost them again in 1945. Regions that belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary before the Treaty of Trianon (1920): Burgenland (Austria), Carpathian Ruthenia (from 1920 to 1938 part of Czechoslovakia, now Ukraine), Medimurje/Murakoz (Croatia), Prekmuje/Muravidek (Slovenia), Transylvania/Erdely-inc. Banat (Romania), Crisana/Partium (Romania), Maramures/Maramaros (Romania), Szeklerland/Szekelyfold (Romania); Upper Hungary/ Felvidek (Slovakia); Vojvodina/Vajdasag (Serbia, Croatia); Croatia (Croatia), Slavonia (Croatia); Separate division- Fiume (Nowadays Rijeka, Croatia) How to Begin Follow the general guidelines in our fact sheets on starting your family history research, immigration records, naturalization records, and finding your ancestral town. Determine whether your town is still within modern-day Hungary and in which county (megye) and district (jaras) it is located. If the town is not in modern Hungary, see our fact sheet for the country where it is currently located. A word of caution: Many towns in Hungary have the same name, and to distinguish among them, a prefix is usually added based upon the county or a nearby city or river.

The present paper aims to comprehensively study the most significant employment policy measure in Hungary (sup- ported public employment) with special regard to its efficiency. The paper studies the chances of integration with the open labour market, which is the open aim of supported public em- ployment, in well-defined periphery areas. Based on qualitative analyses, the spatial struc- ture of supported public employment, or the supported public employment rate, is presented with a situation in which public employees are supported in the labour market. This includes regional development’s effects on peripheral areas and the budget’s appropriateness. Based on quantitative analyses, it is discovered that one critical factor impeding integration into the open (alternative) labour market is atypical em- ployment and its obstacles. Analysing the sup- ported public employment programme’s effi- ciency reveals a major issue in the high number of people in supported public employment, as the value of the lock-in indicator was higher than 80% in the 603 settlements studied in 2017. The present paper discusses the possible exposition of factors behind this lock-in, and its special cases have also been studied, (includ- ing age, gender, and qualifications).

Count Sámuel Teleki and His Reform Project: Comments on Habsburg Hungary in 1790 the Rebellions
MIRIAM LEVY (New York, U.S.A.) Count Sámuel Teleki and His Reform Project: Comments on Habsburg Hungary in 1790 The rebellions in Hungary and Transylvania which began at the end of Joseph 11's reign (1780-1790) led Count Samuel Teleki, whose career in public service spanned these revolts, to draft one of the most interesting reform proposals to emerge from the turmoil of the period. Scion of an old aristocratic family, Samuel Teleki (1739-1822) was in many ways the epitome of the enlightened aristocrat, yet not at all typical of the so-called "denational- ized" aristocrat whose life was completely centered around the court at Vienna. Today he is best known as the founder of the Teleki Library at Marosvasarhely (Neumarkt, Tfrgu-Mure;) in Transylvania. Built on entailed family property quite close to where Teleki was born and raised, this valuable library was just one facet of the count's efforts on behalf of Magyar language and culture,.1 A patron 6f numerous scholars, he did much to promote the advancement of Hungarian language and learning; and for many years he gave his support and friendship to Ferenc Kazinczy (1759-1831), the leading figure of the Hungarian literary revival. Teleki, who belonged to the learned societies of Gattingen, Jena, and Warsaw, was also a founding member of the first Hungarian learned society, the Transylvanian Society for the Cultivation of the Hungarian Language, which "concerned itself with almost all the more important questions in social science and natural science of the age of the Enlightenment."2 Teleki has been variously characterized as "the Nestor of our scholars,"3 and as "the Maecenas of the Magyars ..

Bihor – Hajdu Bihar Euroregion is a form of cross-border cooperation that includes the counties of Bihor and Hajdu Bihor, at the midst of which there are the two county capitals, Oradea and Debrecen, communities that have a diverse ethnical structure, sharing a history older than 800 years. Nowadays we can talk about anintense cross-border cooperation at the Romanian-Hungarian border of various forms and shapes. Keywords: Euroregions, Demography, Ethnicity, Cross-border Cooperation, NUTS system The cities of Debrecen and Oradea, two cities on each side of the Romanian-Hungarian border, sharing a history of more than 800 years, found elements that made the two communities develop a series of cross-border cooperation elements on both sides of the border. The two municipalities become in 2002 part of Bihor-Hajdu Bihar Euroregion, a newly created structure within a diversified area in terms of ethnic-confessions, culture and not least of cross-border cooperation, a structure that aims at being an engine for cooperation at the level of the Euroregional structure that houses 2 NUTS elements: the counties of Bihor and Hajdu Bihar, as well as the two cities.

Analysis of the Objective Indicators of Quality of Life in Hajdú-Bihar County
Applied Studies in Agribusiness and Commerce – APSTRACT Agroinform Publishing House, Budapest SCIENTIFIC PAPERS ANALYSIS OF THE OBJECTIVE INDICATORS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN HAJDÚ-BIHAR COUNTY Anett Sôrés & Károly Petô University of Debrecen, Faculty of Applied Economics and Rural Development 4032 Debrecen Böszörmény út 138. Abstract: The rate of unemployment in Hajdú-Bihar County is several percent higher than the national average and the actual number of unemployed people is the highest, resulting in considerable social problems. The majority of families living under the minimum subsistence level cannot cover their housing maintenance costs. These costs include the rents of tenement flats, public charges, water, electricity, gas and district heating charges. Cutting the number of unemployed people and stimulating economic activity is a high priority. Important tools towards achieving these goals include the promotion of non-agricultural activities by households engaged in agriculture, incentives for rural micro- enterprises, the development of rural and agro-tourism and support for traditional arts and crafts. As for general subjective well-being, although its average value is positive, merely 50% of the population is contented. Naturally it does not mean that we are unhappy. 4 respondents out of 5 claim that they are rather happy. This may suggest that the picture is not so pessimistic as it is revealed by questions about living conditions. Key words: Unemployment, Quality of life, Rural development I.
