PRZESTRZENNE ROZMIESZCZENIE SEKTORA ŚREDNICH PRZEDSIĘBIORSTW W WĘGIERSKIEJ HIERARCHII MIEJSKIEJ

The present study investigates the spatial distribution of the medium-sized enterprise sector inthe Hungarian urban network. This tier of the enterprise network has been relatively neglected in comparison with large foreign-owned firms, but deserves a look due to its promising role in the regional development and development policy. Our previous research on medium-sized enterprises becomes particularly relevant when we consider that the dominant development model of post-socialist industry, based on the attraction of Foreign Direct Investment, is showing limits under the new economic crisis; and that the further increase in regional competitiveness necessitates stronger support for the development of domestic enterprises in both developed and underdeveloped regions. However, the development dilemmas of mid-sized enterprises have not been sufficiently considered in the previous decades, even though their position between larger (mostly foreign-owned) companies and small, capital-poor enterprises gives them significant development potential. Their contribution to domestic capital accumulation, ability to formulate independent competitive strategies, and the role in shaping the local or regional business environment deserves scrutiny. According to our preliminary assumption, the status of medium-sized enterprises in the urban hierarchy is shaped first and foremost by the population number of cities, since the proximity of human resources and markets is a significant locational factor for medium-sized manufacturing firms. The study gives an overview of the evolution of the number of medium-sized enterprises and the average number of their employees in Hungarian cities since 2000, based on data published by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences CERS Databank and the Central Statistical Office. Structured interviews were conducted to detect the disparities at the level of urban regions, with a particular emphasis on Baranya County and the City of Pécs. The results demonstrate that entrepreneurial traditions and entrepreneurial visions are evaluated as important locational advantages by domestically owned medium-sized enterprises.

A magyar–jugoszláv határ megvonása: A magyar határral kapcsolatos jugoszláv politika 1918–1921 között

The Yugoslav government’s position and methods regarding the northern border changed multiple times due to the changes in the political situation of the great powers and in the situation of Hungary. The peace delegation of the South Slavic state allegedly wanted the major powers to accept the northern borders of the newly established state based on ethnic principle. However, the delegation effectively supported these claims with strategic, economic and sometimes even historical arguments. Belgrade’s attitude toward Hungary at the Paris Peace Conference was basically determined by the fact that, at the beginning of 1919, its territorial claims against Hungary were essentially mere corrections to the demarcation line established at the Belgrade Military Convention. The fact, that by then, the South Slavic state was effectively already in possession of the territories it wanted to attain, also carried signifi cant importance. Thus, they only expected the sanctioning of the situation from the Peace Conference. Despite the fact that the Trianon Peace Treaty clearly designated the territories that remained under the control of Hungary, the Yugoslav occupation of the region consisted of Baranya county and the Northern parts of the Bachka was prolonged until August 1921.

Health literacy among participants from neighbourhoods with different socio-economic statuses in the southern region of Hungary: a pilot study

BackgroundHealth literacy (HL) has a deep impact on people’s decisions about their health and health care system. Measurement and improvement of HL level is essential to develop an appropriate health care system. The aim of the study was to (1) conduct a pilot study among the population of Baranya County in Hungary with different socio-economic statuses, (2) evaluate the HL level and (3) found the correlations between socio-economic data, emergency departments’ visits, medical history and HL.MethodsIn a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 with 186 participants, socio-economic status, health status, HL level and knowledge about the triage system were measured. The questionnaire included questions on socio-economic status, previous chronic diseases, and satisfaction with the emergency care system as well as the standardised European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q47). Descriptive statistical analysis (mean, SD, mode) and mathematical statistical analysis (ANOVA, chi2 test, Pearson Correlations, Two sample t-test) were applied. SPSS 24.0 statistical software was used to analyse the data. Relationships were considered significant at the p < 0.05 level.ResultsOne hundred and eighty-six people were involved in the research, but 45 of them were excluded (N = 141). The participation rate was 75.8%. There were significant differences in HL levels by gender and educational level (p = 0.017), health education (p = 0.032) and presence of children in the household (p = 0.049). Educational level (p = 0.002) and type of settlement (p = 0.01) had strong impacts on economic status. We found that 46.1% of the participants had limited comprehensive HL (cHL) level. This proportion was slightly lower for the disease prevention sub-index (33.3%). The average cHL index score was 34.8 ± 8.7 points, the average health care sub-index score was 34.6 ± 9.7 points, the average disease prevention sub-index score was 35.8 ± 9.9 points, and the average health promotion sub-index score was 34.2 ± 9.4 points. 46.1% of the examined population in Hungary had limited HL level.ConclusionsSocio-economic status has a strong influence on HL level. It is not enough to improve awareness but we need to improve knowledge and cooperation with the doctors and health care system.

PNS116 TERRITORIAL DISTRIBUTION OF CASE NUMBERS RELATED TO THE HUNGARIAN WAITING- LIST REDUCTION PROGRAM BETWEEN 2015-2018

Waiting lists are subject to interest throughout the world. The National Health Insurance Fund Administration established a waiting list reduction program in 2015 with the aim to significantly shorten waiting list cases and waiting times. The goal of the study is to analyze the territorial distribution of cases within the waiting list reduction program. The database covered the period of 2015-2018, and contained all public-funded cases, which were financed in the above-mentioned program. The database also contained information about the patients’ place of residence, the localization of responsible healthcare institutes, as well as the distance between the responsible hospitals and the patients’ place of residence. The database was provided by the National Health Insurance Fund Administration of Hungary, and the Hungarian Central Statistical Office. For the statistical analyzes and the geographical representations the Microsoft Excel and the Quantum GIS software were used. Between 2015-2018. 24,771 cases were financed within the waiting-list reduction program in Hungary. In most cases the patient was female (63%). Nationwide 77% of the cases were treated in the patients’ county of residence (19,064 cases). Among the counties, this rate was the highest in Baranya county (97%), and the lowest in Pest county (3%). Between 2015-2018, the number of cases reflected to 10,000 inhabitants was the highest in Baranya county (19.41) and the lowest in Hajdú-Bihar county (0.95), while the national average was 6.14 cases. The average travel-distance of the patients was 136.32 kilometers in those cases which were treated outside of the patients’ county of residence (5,707 cases). The majority of cases were treated in patients’ county of residence. Those interventions which were performed outside of the patients’ county of residence mostly linked at Budapest’s hospitals.

Spreading to north: naturalisation of Ficus carica (Moraceae) in Hungary

Between the years 2015–2018, 147 stands of Ficus carica L. was found out of cultivation in Baranya county. In 2008 presence of fig wasp (Blastophaga psenes L.) and caprificus individuals that are necessary for pollination, then for producing fertile seeds were detected in Pécs at first time. For germination tests fig seeds were collected from several different stands in Pécs and successful reproduction of the species was confirmed under in vitro conditions. According to former and recent observations (i.e. subspontaneous seedlings and/or successful in vitro germination of common fig seeds in 2010 and 2014) fig wasp may have occurred in Budapest and Máriagyűd too, at least in the last ten years. These results confirm that F. carica is an old ‘new’ casual or may be a naturalised neophyte element of the Hungarian flora. According to the new records the northernmost escaped individuals of F. carica was found at 47.475° N in the Carpathian Basin, 116.5 km N of the closest Slovenian stand in the latitudinal direction.

First record of Geocoris pallidipennis from Hungary (Hemiptera: Geocoridae)

Adult individuals of Geocoris pallidipennis (Costa, 1843) were observed and collected at the end of October 2019 and 2020 in Szászvár (Baranya county), Hungary. They were found in a drainage ditch in the village. This is the first Hungarian record of the species. With 2 figures.

Considerations of Regional Coherences for the Development of Renewable Energy Technologies Used in South Part of Transdanubian Region of Hungary

Abstract The existing effective domestic regional development framework requires analyses for increasingly wider areas (micro, meso and even macro regions) before operational – short-term – local developments to be prepared and implemented. Such comprehensive complex studies or larger-term programmes may demonstrate the profitability of the given project and can complement it with combined utilization technologies; in the case of Himesháza several locally known renewable energy sources could facilitate geothermal heat, later electricity supply, e.g. local biomass (biogas-based) recovery technology (organic waste of the local pig farm) and, for example, the construction of a low-power “dwarf” hydroelectric power plant chain based on rich watercourses of the region (the “southern dwarves” in Hungary) and the connection of existing solar utility facilities to a modern “smart grid” system in the longer term. Himesháza, located in southern Hungary in Baranya county, is developing; it has a detailed feasibility study of a thermal energy supply network and an energy supply development plan. Based on the geothermal characteristics of Baranya county it would be reasonable to encourage the development of smaller-scale, decentralized heating systems for dynamic settlements. Several settlements in close proximity to Himesháza have already explored thermal wells. Power generation with a small scale, closed-loop system can be used in the project region for thermal water with an outflow temperature of 90 °C. The heating system may also be able to fulfill the needs of recreational, vacation-based or complex thermal spa facilities formerly planned in the region. Moreover, the system could also be capable of utilizing a larger spectrum of renewable energy through its combination with photovoltaic technology. Due to the country's favorable agricultural characteristics, Hungary's biomass potential is higher than the European average. The utilization of organic waste from agricultural and farming sectors is highly recommended in Baranya county; biogas production seems to be the most suitable in the region of Himesháza too, broadening the utilization of renewable resources. The realization of the current project could contribute to shifting the energy resource sector in a more modern, environmentally conscious direction. The background for shorter-term plans and investment (carried out within the framework of operational programs) necessary for the optimal operation and maintenance of longer-term (25–50 years) energy development strategies is created by the analysis (at multiple scales) of complex regional characteristics and future potential, and the selection of optimal sites.

Wait times to diagnosis and treatment in patients with colorectal cancer in Hungary

BackgroundMortality from colorectal cancer (CRC) in Hungary is the highest in Europe. It was the aim of the present study to determine the wait times from first presentation to diagnosis, in a sample of Hungarian patients with CRC, as well as to assess the stages of CRC at diagnosis. MethodsA retrospective study based on data from 212 patients with CRC in Baranya county was carried out. Data extraction was performed from 26 GP practices and from the database of the University of Pécs Clinical Center. Total Diagnostic Interval (TDI) was determined as the number of days from the first patient-physician consultation with symptoms until the pathologically confirmed date of diagnosis. Total Treatment Interval (TTI) was calculated until the first day of any form of treatment. Statistical analyses, descriptive analysis and analysis of variance, were performed. ResultsA minority (36.8%) of the diagnosed CRC cases were early stage cancers (Stages I-II), while the majority (59.9%) of the cases were diagnosed as advanced stage (Stages III-IV) cancers. The median TDI was 41 days, and the median TTI was 67 days. There was a wide range between minimum and maximum waiting times regarding both diagnosis and initiation of therapy (369–371 days). ConclusionsWait times to diagnosis and treatment of CRC in Hungary are similar to Western countries however the ratio of advanced cancers at diagnosis is higher. The cause of late diagnosis may be due to patient delay, indicating the need for implementation of primary and secondary prevention.

Distribution of bioactive factors in human milk samples

BackgroundBreast milk provides nutrition for infants and also contains a variety of bioactive factors that influence the development of the newborn. Human milk is a complex biological fluid that can be separated into different layers (water phase and lipid phase with its component water and lipid fractions). It can affect the developing human body along the whole length of the gastrointestinal tract, and through the circulation, its factors may reach every organ.MethodsIn the present study, we analyzed milk samples collected monthly for 6 months from 16 mothers from the 4th week postpartum between 2014 and 2016 in Baranya County, Hungary. The 96 samples provided us information about the fluctuation of certain bioactive factors during the first 6 months of lactation. We investigated with Luminex technology the concentrations of several cytokines (CD40, Flt-3L), chemokines (MCP-1, RANTES, GRO, MIP-1ß, MDC, eotaxin, fractalkine), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc tests were used to compare the data.ResultsWe detected the presence of each bioactive factor in every layer of the milk samples during the first 6 months of breastfeeding in widespread concentration ranges. In the case of GRO, MIP-1ß, MDC, Flt-3L, fractalkine, and eotaxin, the concentrations were constant during the first 6 months of lactation. The water phase of human milk contained higher factor concentrations compared to both fractions of the lipid phase for most factors (except eotaxin and MIP-1ß). The concentrations of CD40, EGF, MCP-1, and RANTES in the first 3 months were significantly different compared to the values detected between 4th and 6th months. In the water phase, the level of MCP-1 was significantly decreased, while all of the other factors increased during the 4th through 6th months. We found significantly higher EGF, GRO, and RANTES levels in the water fraction compared to the lipid fraction of the lipid phase.ConclusionsThe novel findings of this investigation were the presence of Flt-3L and MDC in all layers of breast milk, and nearly all bioactive factors in the lipid phase. Due to their widespread physiological effects these factors may have an essential role in organogenesis.

A nyolcosztályos népiskolai oktatás bevezetésének hatása az iskolalátogatással kapcsolatos szülői felügyeleti jogra

In connection with the implementation of the eight-grade elementary school system, questions were raised about the necessity of the work of children in the family and the need for compulsory education and the right of the child to education. The introduction of the eight-grade elementary school system was an important matter under the ministry of Kuno Klebelsberg, however, it was realized by Balint Homan, as a result of the Act XX of 1940 on schooling obligation and eight-grade elementary school. During the preparation of the Act, in 1939 Kalman Kosa, the head of class of the ministry highlighted, that it is important to increase the duration of compulsory schooling, however, it should be kept in mind, that ’the adolescent children can continue to participate in the agricultural work, help their family with their work, when it is inevitably necessary to provide daily bread.’ Since the burden of parents would increase in the case of introducing eight-grade schooling, he urged to introduce two, a lower and a higher section in elementary school, so the students of the higher section would not go to school between April and October in order to help at home. The so called ‘Neptanitok Lapja’ (Teacher’s Journal) published the Act and its ministerial reasoning in 1940. Minister Homan called it the most serious disability of the educational system that ‘the majority of our students finish their studies at their 12th age, which is the time, when they come to a dangerous and transient period of physical and psychological development.’ In my essay I will examine these two questions, highlighted by the Ministry of Culture as well, regarding the parents’ supervisory rights. On the one hand it is necessary to introduce eight-grade elementary schooling to educate children over the age of 12 properly, and on the other hand it is also important to limit the time of the eight-grade system, to ensure that the children can help at home. In order to find answers to these questions I will examine the provisions of the act, its ministerial reasoning and its welcome in the pedagogical press, and practical problems which led to the creation of the Act based on the documents of the National Archives of Hungary Baranya County Archives – such as the case of the thief band of the students of Pecs, as well as the reaction of the city to this band and the manifestation of the extraordinary effect of parental care. As it was written in many writings, it is also my aim to emphasize, that children’s behavior in this age was – and is nowadays – mostly effected by the family, so the success of introducing eight-grade schooling depends firstly on the relationship between the child and the parent, secondly on the relationship between the family and the school.

Szülők jogai és kötelességei az iskolalátogatással kapcsolatban a 20. század elején

The parents’ rights and obligations can be interpreted in two approaches according to the participation of children in public education. On the one hand, it is necessary to examine, that parents have the right to choose the appropriate educational institution for their child, on the other hand they have the obligation to ensure the compulsary schooling or education for their child. In the following I show these two eras regarding the beginning of the 20th century. My research is based on the Act XXXVIII of 1868 on public education, Act XXX of 1921 on ensuring the fullfilment of the schooling obligation, and the documents of the National Archives of Hungary Baranya County Archives. The choice of school could have been influenced by several factors, such as religious affiliation, residence, financial situation. The parents’ right to choose a school was wide, so they could find the appropriate intstitutional or private school for their children. There wre problematic situations in those cases, when the parents did not want to use the existing confessional school, but the municipalty did not have the opportunity to establish public school and the parents also did not have the opportunity to educate their child at home. Formerly there were only confessional schools in Hungary, but in the middle of the 19th century it became evident that the churches can not maintain schools alone, so the role of the state is necessary. Based on the Act XXXVIII of 1868 on public education „Public education institutes can be established and maintained by confessions, associations and individuals, communities and the state.” After choosing a school parents were obligated to ensure the school attendance of their child. The Act XXXVIII of 1868 on public education declared the general obligation of education or compulsary schooling. Children had to attend in everyday elementary school for 6 years and then in repeating school for 3 more years. The broad determination of the maintainers of the school supported the idea to extend the obligation of education. This meant that there was a need for more schools, regardless of the maintainers (confession, municipalty, state, etc.) in order to ensure education for most of the children. The public and ecclesiastical authorities were obliged to take action in order to ensure compulsory schooling, and there were gradually sanctions against parents. However, it did not always go smoothly, and it was not necessarily the fault of the parents or the children, but for example epidemics, world war. There were some misunderstanding regarding the attendance on religious education.

Filarial nematode (order: Spirurida) surveillance in urban habitats, in the city of Pécs (Hungary)

As part of the seasonal mosquito control activities in the city of Pécs (Baranya County, Hungary), a total of 1123 adult female mosquitoes belonging to 18 species (including the invasive species Aedes koreicus) were collected from human-inhabited areas, using CO2-baited traps, during two consecutive years. To survey the presence and prevalence of filarial parasites in these mosquitoes, we performed a molecular survey for filarial DNA, attempted by PCR using generic primers (COI), and followed by DNA sequencing. Filaroid nematode DNA was detected in 4% of investigated mosquito pools. Out of 410 pools, 9 pools of mosquitoes were positive for Dirofilaria repens (Aedes vexans, Aedes koreicus, Coquillettidia richiardii), and/or Dirofilaria immitis (Ae. vexans, Cq. richiardii), and further 8 pools were positive for Setaria tundra (Ae. vexans, Cq. richiardii). Our study provides novel insight for prevalence of filaroid nematodes in mosquitoes occurring in close proximity to humans, thereby highlights the possible human and veterinary health importance of these mosquito species, including the recently introduced invasive mosquito Ae. koreicus.

PHP6 - The Analysis of the Demographic Indicators in One-Day Surgery In Hungary

The foundation of the one-day surgery patient-care is that the patient cannot stay in healthcare institution longer than 24 hours. With the constant development of surgical techniques, minimal-invasive procedures come into view that creates an opportunity to quick rehabilitation. The aim of the research is to analyse the demographic indicators of patients in one-day surgery in Hungary between 2010 and 2016. Data used in the research were provided by the National Healthcare Services Centre, PULVITA Healthcare Database. The database contained data of the sex, age and address of patients in one-day surgery cases between 2010 and 2016. The case-numbers of both sex, the average age of patients as well as the case-numbers /10,000 inhabitants by county were evaluated. 1,491,416 cases were registered in the abovementioned period. In 2016 (275,920 cases), 200% more cases were performed than in the year of 2010 (130,995 cases). The majority of the patients consisted of women (69.51%). From 2010 to 2016 the number of cases with men increased by 279.78%, and slightly less with women (188.02%). The average age of men was 56.15 years and 49.93 years in the case of women in one-day surgery. The number of cases per 10,000 inhabitants also escalated greatly during the 7-year period. In 2010 the case number was 130.81 cases/10,000 inhabitants, in 2016 it was 280.73 cases/ 10,000 inhabitants in Hungary. In the aspect of counties, the number of cases/10,000 inhabitants was the highest in Tolna county in 2010 (184.16 cases/ 10,000 inhabitants), although in 2016 it was in Baranya county (386.76 cases/ 10,000 inhabitants). According to our research we can conclude that the number of cases of one-day surgery patient-care escalated in every aspect. A huge increase is seen in the overall cases nationwide, in the aspects of sex and cases per 10,000 inhabitants.

Risk factors for Clostridium difficile infections in Baranya County, Southern Hungary.

In the past decade, Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) have become a major public health challenge. Their epidemiology has radically changed with a significant rise in the number of cases and an increase in severe episodes. Recurrence and failure of conventional treatments are very common. Furthermore, a spread of CDI has emerged in general population without the usual risk factors (unexposed to antibiotic treatment, young people, etc.). The conventional treatments (metronidazole and vancomycin) are still effective and are the first-line antibiotics with new recommendations. New therapeutic strategies are now available. Recent studies show a better efficacy of vancomycin compared with metronidazole for severe episodes. Fidaxomicin is a novel antibiotic drug with an efficacy similar to vancomycin and a lower risk of recurrence. Finally, for relapsing forms, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) seems to be the best option. We determined risk factors for CDI among patients treated at the infectious diseases ward of our hospital in Pécs. The study included 886 patients with CDI from 2009 to 2014. The average number of recurrent episodes was 2.16 and the proportion of severe cases was 66%. Among our patients, 726 (82%) had taken antibiotics and 769 (86.8%) had been hospitalized in the prior 3months before developing CDI. We have found that prior statin use could be a significant risk factor of CDI (OR: 1.7765, 95% CI: 1.3966-2.2597, p < 0.0001). Finally, we present the comparative efficacy of different types of treatment (metronidazole, vancomycin, fidaxomicin, and FMT).

Evaluation Of Baranya County Drug Ambulance's And Baranya County Police's School Based Drug Prevention Activity

The aim of our research was to evaluate two school based drug prevention program which have been operated by Baranya County Police and Baranya County Drug ambulance. The research program was carried out with standard questioner at schools which are was part one of in these drug prevention programs. 220 students were involved into the study. Students filled in the questionnaire twice: several days before (pre-test) and 10 days after (post-test) the drug prevention program. We processed our data with the help of SPSS and we designed a paired-sample T-test. The rate of those, who know more about drugs after Police's program have increased by 24.6% and Drug ambulance's result was 20%. Drug ambulance's program reached significant (p=0.048) change in self-knowledge among the students. About the Police's program we can not report the same significant result in the same case (p=0.569). The effect of the Drug ambulance's program also changed the student’s sense of danger regarding drugs significantly. There was a significant change in the trying of marihuana (p=0,008), hallucinogenic drugs (p=0.012) and herbal drugs (p=0.001). However the effect of the Police's program only changed the student’s trying of designer drugs regarding drugs significantly (p=0.071). Continuous evaluation of prevention programs are essential. It would be important that only monitorised and professionally suggested programs are realised.

Interesting breeding cases of the Raven (Corvus corax) in Hungary

Abstract Due to conservation measures, the breeding population of the Raven significantly strengthened over the last decades in Hungary, also nesting on the lowlands. Nowadays, observing large flocks is not rare. Compared to other European countries, the urbanization of the species began relatively late in Hungary, in the ‘90s, first breeding in the urban areas of Baranya County. There were another five similar known cases after the millennium across the country. Because of the advanced adaptive capacity of species, this number is likely to grow in the future. In Hungary, the brood is typically complete in the second half of February and the young birds fledge in the first days of May. There are two known cases after the millennium when the Ravens bred in a significantly different time than usual. In these cases, the young birds fledged on 20 January and the second half of February. In both cases, the nests were found on overhead transmission line poles in lowland agricultural areas. It is uncertain what led to the unusual breeding time, but it is most likely that the breeding pair was accustomed, having successfully raised several brood before, and they could rely on the abundant food base near the nests during the breeding period.

Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller, 1873), first record of an invasive pest in Hungary (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae)

The invasive gelechiid moth, potato tuberworm Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller, 1873) was first recorded in Hungary (Komló, Baranya County) and Northern Croatia (Lug, Osijek-Baranja County) in December 2015. This quarantine species has not been reported from Hungary so far and it was known in Croatia only from the coastal region. The occurrence of Ph. operculella in the Carpathian basin is of great concern as this invader is able to cause negative impacts on the Hungarian potato cultivation. This occurrence of the species is one of the northernmost data in Europe so far.
