The Economic and Social Situation of The Region Of Northern Hungary in The Context of European Integration

Author(s): János Zsúgyel / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2006

A comparison of the characteristics of the economic and social processes in Hungary with those in the other member states of the European Union is essential for making an objective judgement of our situation and for setting the tasks of our development activities. The region of Northern Hungary is ranked last among the regions of Hungary. This means that the region faces a long and difficult process in the convergence process. As a conclusion of the investigation some selected indicators were used to determine the development level of some regions of the EU-25. Based on the cluster analysis, 174 regions were classified in the cluster of the developed regions according to the average values of the indicators, while 82 regions had to be ranked among the underdeveloped regions. Due to the unfavourable values of its indicators, the region of Northern Hungary was put among the underdeveloped regions, sharing the fate of other regions in Hungary and most regions in Central Europe.

Famuli in 14th-century Hungary

Famulusok Magyarországon a 14. században

Author(s): András Borosy / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2005

Famuli in 14th-century Hungary can be divided into two groups. The members of the first were low-class servants, while those belonging to the second possessed some talent and expertise. The famuli of the first group owned no land and their status was similar to that of the serfs, though not necessarily identical with that. We cannot establish, however, if the status of a serf or a landless famulus was better. Those famuli whose status was better were usually more educated. They had some legal education, often they served their lords as procurators (lawyers) and received valuable presents from them. Famuli could excel in military service on the side of their lord, who in turn gave them gifts. We know of a case when a famulus was granted 80 (Hungarian) acres of land and a plot. Famuli very often were their lords’ bailiffs (officiális). We know of a famulus who was a citizen and a deputy judge, while others worked at the customs office or were officials of the county. The better-off famuli could have their own famuli. We see that a famulus procurator was treated as equal with the other procurators. So a famulus could be a slave, but he could also be a talented and educated person in the service of another, and by these abilities he could ascend to higher ranks.

Augustinian Hermit Monasteries in Hungary

Ágostonrendi remeték a középkori Magyarországon

Author(s): Beatrix F. Romhányi / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2005

The article focuses on the history of the least researched monastic orders of medieval Hungary: the Augustinian friars. According to recent findings, between the 13th and the 16th centuries the order had about 40 monasteries, which in the 15th-16th centuries made up seven districts(districtus). The first friars are believed to have come from the territories in Southern Germany and Small Poland. Unlike the Dominicans and the Franciscans, this administrative grouping corresponds to certain territorial groups. It is striking how many monasteries were established in small settlements, partly because of the relatively late arrival of the order, and partly because of the lack of a well-designed settlement plan. Monarchs were the most zealous supporters of the order, followed – in the early years – by the bishops. From the second half of the 14th century, however, landlords and nobles play an increasingly important part in supporting the Augustinians. The late 15th and early 16thcentury religious reforms had little influence on the Augustinian friars, though the number of new foundations compared to the total number of monasteries was significant, about 20-25 percent. The order must have had a highly developed educational system, though we can only assume this on the basis of the scanty evidence we have at our disposal. The location of the majority of the monasteries have not been precisely identified, the occasional archeological research mainly focused on topography. Significant findings have only been discovered in Buda, Vác, Bátmonostor and Pápóc. Though completely rebuilt, the monasteries at Bártfa, Kőrös and maybe even Eszék and Velike have survived to the present day.

REFORM OF JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION IN HUNGARY

REFORMA ADMINISTRĂRII JUDICIARE IN UNGARIA

Author(s): Sándor Móré / Language(s): / Issue: 3/2015

Keywords: judicial administration; reform; President of the National Office for the Judiciary; judicial bodies; Fundamental Law; Constitutional Court; Venice Commission.

The present study aims at presenting the main objectives of the legislative changes and the basic elements of the new administrational system of the Hungarian courts. The legislators sought to introduce an efficient and transparent court administration scheme based on individual decision-making and the individual accountability of the decision-maker. According to the Venice Commission’s opinion the main problem of the judicial reforms is the concentration of power in the hands of one person: President of the National Office for the Judiciary. Although States enjoy a wide discretion in designing a system for the administration of justice, no other member state of the Council of Europe has such important powers concentrated in the hand of one single person.

Between Italy, Bohemia and Hungary

Mezi Itálií, Čechami a Uhrami

Author(s): Barbora Toth / Language(s): Czech / Issue: 48/2018

Keywords: illuminated manuscripts;Bologna; Nekcsei Bible; Anjou Legendary; Paris fragment of the Latin translation of the Dalimil Chronicle; Lando di Antonio

This article focuses upon the expansion of Italianisms into Central Europe in the 14th century in illuminated manuscripts. It deals with selected manuscripts of what are known as the Nekcsei Bible, the Anjou Legendary and the Paris fragment of the Latin translation of the Dalimil Chronicle. These illuminated manuscripts are similar in that they may all have been imported to Central Europe from Italy (Bologna) and the possibility arises that their production for the Central European region could somehow have been coordinated. Whereas in the case of the Hungarian orders the clients most probably referred to a single illuminators’ workshop. In the case of the Paris fragment there is only an indirect association with this workshop.

Philosophy in Upper Hungary

A filozófia Felső-Magyarországon

Author(s): András Mészáros / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3/2020

Keywords: Upper Hungarian philosophy;forms of discourse;Catholic and Lutheran school philosophy;public philosophy;national philosophy

The study lists the methodological changes that have modified the historiographical approach in the history of Hungarian philosophy in the last 30 years. Based on these, it formulates the hypothesis that the history of Hungarian philosophy can be reconstructed and presented not within the framework of a single narrative, but along discourses that exist side by side and one after the other. One such form of discourse is local discourse, such as Upper Hungarian philosophy. The determining form of this was the school philosophy, which developed along the Catholic–Lutheran dichotomy. School philosophy lost its decisive role here only during the 19th century, and besides it appeared the so-called public philosophy, and one of its forms of discourse, national philosophy. However, this was mainly characteristic of the emerging Slovak philosophy.

The economic power of volunteering of Hungary

A magyar önkéntesség gazdasági ereje

Author(s): Istvan Sebestény / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: nonprofit organisation statistics;measurement of volunteering;formal volunteering;content of volunteering;volume of volunteering;value of volunteering;

Volunteering is an unique resource of nonprofit organisations compared to the public and market sectors, it is an essential, necessary but certainly not sufficient condition for their operation, altough its actual weight and value Iis not easy to estimate. In this paper, we show how the Central Statistical Office's survey of nonprofit organisations has attempted to measure the extent of this in-kind contribution, both in time and, in money, over the last 25 years with the help of statistical tools, and what methodological problems it has faced and continues to face during the organisational data collection. All this in order to try, also in this context, to show the negative impact of the coronavirus epidemic that started in 2020, by assessing the extent of financial and human resources support that NGOs could hope from the public - despite thier more intensive participation and activity expected by the society.

By comparing the colored etching Aigentliche Vorstell- und Beschreibung der fürnehmsten in Europa befindlicher Land-Völcker, Augsburg around 1700, and the journal Acta Comparationis Litterarum Universarum, Kolozsvár around 1880, imagology, a research area of comparative cultural and literary studies, can be discussed in a comparative manner. Based on the findings of this comparison, the article seeks answers to questions about the scientific location and the task of Hungarian studies outside of Hungary.
