    Natural Radioactive Element Content of the Old Crystalline Rocks in Southern Transdanubia (Sw Hungary)

    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XL, 121-138, 1999 NATURAL RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT CONTENT OF THE OLD CRYSTALLINE ROCKS IN SOUTHERN TRANSDANUBIA (SW HUNGARY) E. PÁL MOLNÁR*, I. VADOS**, I. GERZSON**, B. KÓBOR* •Department of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Pétrology, Attila József University "Mecsekérc Environment Protection Co. ABSTRACT On the basis of systématisation of several thousand radioactive element content analyses made in laboratories since the 50's, U and Th content of old granitoid rocks of Southern Transdanubia proved to be much higher than the average U and Th content of granitoids in the world. This value of rocks from areas west of Mecsek Mountains as well as near Szalatnak village and Pecs city is twice higher than the world average. Areas west of the Mecsek Mountains show higher U and lower Th contents than areas east of these mountains. Uranium accumulation is higher in aplites and hydrothermal formations than in granites. The western and eastern granites are less and highly sensitive to leaching, respectively. The intensive U migration resulted in significant U accumulation in young sediments in some places. INTRODUCTION Study of natural radioactive element (U /Ra1, Th, K) content of the rocks in Hungary was performed by the Mecseki Ércbányászati Vállalat (Mecsek Ore Mining Company) until 1990, when uranium exploration was stopped in Hungary. Aim of the analyses was to research U sources, therefore, rocks supposed to contain perspective U accumulation were mainly studied. The aim of this paper is to elaborate many thousands radiological data of granitoid rocks, gneisses and amphibolite-like metamorphic rocks coming from Southern Transdanubia (south of the Szekszárd-Kaposvár-Kutas line to the state boundary, and east of the Kutas-Csokonyavisonta-Barcs line to the Danube).

  • Regional Comparison of Farms on the Basis of the Fadn Database

    Regional Comparison of Farms on the Basis of the Fadn Database

    REGIONAL COMPARISON OF FARMS ON THE BASIS OF THE FADN DATABASE PESTI, CSABA - KESZTHELYI, KRISZTIÁN - Dr. TÓTH, TAMÁS SUMMARY The territorial structure of Hungarian farms was investigated. The results obtained proved once again that Hungarian farms cannot be dealt with in a uni­ form way, because the differences between regions they take place in require dif­ ferent approach. According to the results obtained so far the three Transdanubian regions lo­ cated in Transdanubia, the western part of Hungary, are more or less equal in respect of farm size, labour productivity, and profitability. Therefore it is recom­ mended to treat these regions in agricultural policy as a uniform system. The efficiency of farms in the regions of Northern Hungary and Northern Great Plain is lower as compared to other regions. Therefore it is recommended to support alternative measures aimed at the improvement of labour productivity in these regions. The region of Central Hungary also requires a different system of subsidies: here, horticulture producing higher value added should he supported to a greater extent in order to enable the farmers of the region to compete with imported goods and meet the changing demands of consumers. Although the present research is in its initial stage, it enabled several conse­ quences to be drawn, naturally without completeness. Therefore in the future it will be extended to several additional fields, such as the examination of farming co­ operatives, or a deeper investigation of livestock and crop farming. Research will be completed also by a number of statistical methods, e. g. deviation, correlation, including the simultaneous evaluation of non-agricultural economic indices, since agriculture is largely influenced by the general development of a region.

[email protected] Bevezetés A Mecseken és környékén végzett botanikai kutatások több mint kétszáz éves történetét HORVÁT Adolf Olivér munkái foglalják össze (HORVÁT 1942, 1958, 1975, 1976, 1977). Az elmúlt évtizedekben végzett florisztikai felmérések eredményei számos adattal gazdagították ismereteinket a Baranyai-dombság növényvilágáról (KEVEY 1986, 1988, 1995, 2001, KEVEY & HORVÁT 2000, DÉNES 1997, TÓTH 1998, 1999, 2000). Az utóbbi öt évben országszerte intenzív terepbotanikai kutatások folytak, és a legújabb eredmények (K EVEY 2004, PÁL 2002 a, b, 2003, PURGER 2002 a, 2002 b, CSIKY et al. 2005) arról tanúskodnak, hogy a vizsgált terület még sok feltáratlan botanikai értéket rejt. A vizsgált terület és módszerek A Baranyai-dombság a Mecsekt ől délre-délkeletre terül el. Négy részre tagolódik. Délen a Pécsi-síkság, attól északkeletre, pedig a Geresdi-dombság helyezkedik el. Legnagyobb részét a Dél-Baranyai dombság kistáj teszi ki. A Baranyai-dombság negyedik részét, mint egy sziget a Villányi hegység képezi (MAROSI & SOMOGYI 1990). Ez utóbbi tájegységet azonban e munkában mell őzzük, tekintettel arra, hogy a növényföldrajzi dolgozatokban a Villányi-hegységet általában külön (pl. MOLNÁR 1999), vagy a Mecsekkel együtt tárgyalják (pl. BORHIDI 2006). A félreértések elkerülése végett itt jegyzem meg, hogy az el őző cikkemben (PURGER 2002 a) a „Baranyai-dombság” név alatt a Dél-Baranyai dombságot értettem. Mindazonáltal, az egész térséget, és ezt a területet is, a geográfusok és a botanikusok több néven tárgyalyák: pl.: Mecsekalja (HORVÁT 1942), Tolna-Baranyai dombvidék (BORHIDI 2006, PÁL 2003).

It aims to guarantee the effective and lasting preservation and protection of Jewish cemeteries and mass graves throughout the European continent. Identified by the Hebrew phrase Lo Tishkach (‘do not forget’), the Foundation is establishing a comprehensive publicly-accessible database of all Jewish burial grounds in Europe, currently featuring details on over 9,000 Jewish cemeteries and mass graves. Lo Tishkach is also producing a compendium of the different national and international laws and practices affecting these sites, to be used as a starting point to advocate for the better protection and preservation of Europe’s Jewish heritage. A key aim of the project is to engage young Europeans, bringing Europe’s history alive, encouraging reflection on the values that are important for responsible citizenship and mutual respect, giving a valuable insight into Jewish culture and mobilising young people to care for our common heritage.

Eight aspects are taken into consideration, which are Economics, Education and Learning, Innovation, Labor Market Effi- ciency, Infrastructure, Health, Farm, Environment Protection and Crimes. The final results show that Közép-Magyarország (Central Hungary) is the most competitive region which gets 68.46, while Észak Magyaroszág (Northern Hungary) which scored 24.23 is the least competitive region. Cultural and heritage, natural features, higher stage of urban/economic development, R & D sector and high level business services are the main advantages of Közép-Magyarország (Central Hun- gary). However, for the least competitiveness region Észak Magyaroszág (Northern Hungary), more attention should be paid to infrastructure construction, labor mobility, institution efficiency, promotion of innovation, business environment, improvement of education and health and envi- ronment protection.
