    GeoCom – FP7 CONCERTO – 239515 RES INTEGRATION CONCEPT PAPER D5.1 – Final version WP Leader: P9 – University of Szeged. Key Contributors: P1, P2, P8 2012 GEOCOM WP5 - Technological Research / WP5.1 Integration with other RES The main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal energy in energy systems in Central-Eastern Europe. In this WP available experience of integrating geothermal energy into a cascaded facility with a view to environmental improvements and extending the utilization time and spectrum of uses of such facilities has been be studied. Researchers at the University of Szeged looked at the economic and environmental factors of geothermal systems operating in the South Great Plain Region, outlined potential project sites and developed a number of project plans presented here in brief. We collected data from GeoCom project partners too regarding utilization in other CEE countries. This volume presents the first concise study of actual and potential geothermal projects in the South Great Plain of Hungary, with project concepts developed entirely by our researchers and contracted experts. Our work is complemented by data provided by our partners from Serbia, Slovakia, FYROM and Poland. As projects in renewable energy use differ greatly from one-another we did not intend to formulate general conclusions regarding economic or environmental factors of RES integration. Rather, we present the RE potential of the target region, showcase our development proposals, and provide a tool (GIS model) to assist future project development. As stated in Annex 1 the main scope of this sub-WP has been to outline ways of integrating geothermal sources in energy systems, including those with other RES.

  • It's the Survivors Who Rebuild! … the Story of József Osztróvszky by Vic Berecz
    It's the Survivors Who Rebuild! … the Story of József Osztróvszky by Vic Berecz. Our Yankee neighbors to the north proudly proclaim, Live Free or Die . Martyrdom is a great symbolic act. But, I’d like to recount the story of a survivor. With it, I hope to convince you that progress is driven by the living -- that it’s the survivors who are presented with the opportunity to rebuild a nation. That survivor is József Osztróvszky, my great-great-grandfather. My mother in New York, because her father had died when she was still young and the family had no contact with relatives in Hungary, knew very little about her ancestors. She knew only that her Heszlényi grandfather was born in Szeged, and that his wife was named Mária Osztróvszky. She also knew that her father had been orphaned at age five, and was brought up by his grandfather and his aunt Vilma. She knew nothing else about the family. It was not until recent years, when I began investigating my roots in Hungary -- and when I had some luck on the Internet -- that I became aware of all that was happening in 1849, when my great-grandmother Mária was József Osztróvszky in 1861 … born. from painting in Szeged City Hall. József Osztróvszky was born in 1818 in Szeged. He was the son of a prosperous butcher. of Hungarian progress that he dedicated his later Like all the wealthier Roman Catholic boys of life to broad civic interests. In the 1830’s and Szeged, József attended the Piarist Academy.

The aim of our present study was to assess the knowledge level and attitudes of patients (general population) towards antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance, in addition to their practices towards the procurement and use of these drugs in the Szeged District of Hungary. Materials/methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based pilot study was performed among patients aged 18 years or older in the Szeged District. The study population comprised of adult patients attending their general practitioner’s (GP) offices. Data collection for the survey was running between January 2016 and January 2018. Sample size for the adult population of the Szeged District was calculated by using the Raosoft sample size calculator. Results: Responses from n=109 were included in the final analysis. The median age of the respondents was 51 years (50.8±17.8 years, range: 19-93).
