The Hungarian company Cool Tej (one of the companies that belong to British Cool Milk Group) performs losses on distributing milk to schools in one particular part of Hungary. Therefore, the milk distribution in Hungary is the issue that was further analysed and for which various solutions were found and evaluated.

The relationship between magyarization and Hungarian civil society during the reform era of Hungarian history (1790-1848) is the subject of this dissertation. This thesis examines the cultural and political activities of three liberal oppositional nobles: András Fáy (1786-1864), István Bezerédj (1796-1856) and Ödön Beöthy (1796-1854). These three men were chosen as the basis of this study because of their commitment to a two-pronged approach to politics: they advocated greater cultural magyarization in the multiethnic Hungarian Kingdom and campaigned to extend the protection of the Hungarian constitution to segments of the non-aristocratic portion of the Hungarian population. I argue that magyarization and civil society were closely connected: magyarization unfolded within the confines of civil society, and civil society was meant to guarantee that magyarization would leave room for cultural homogeneity. I locate the success and ambivalence of Fáy, Bezerédj and Beöthy’s efforts to shape Hungarian civil society not in the peculiar mixture of liberal and national elements that characterized their political campaigns, including their magyarization impulses, but in their social position as Magyar nobles transforming a multiethnic and socially-stratified Hungarian population. On a more subtle level, the fact that these three men based their reform efforts on grass-roots transformation and on the interconnectedness between the capital centres and the counties is also a central concern of this thesis. / History

The sequence stratigraphy of the middle Eocene-Pliocene of the Pannonian Basin permits to differentiate fifty-nine depositional sequences. An earlier compressional Paleogene basin in the central and eastern Pannonian Basin is unconformably overlain by a Neogene extensional basin. Tectonic regimes interacted with transgressive-regressive facies cycles. The boundaries of these cycles coincide with regional stage boundaries. Unconformities separating these cycles mark the episodic closure of connections between the Pannonian Basin and the European epicontinental seas from Oligocene through middle Miocene time. The unconformities are the result of short-term glacio-eustatic falls, sometimes enhanced by tectonic events. Within the limits of biostratigraphic resolution during the Eocene-middle Miocene, many of the sequences of the Pannonian Basin correlate well with the sequences proposed by Haq et al. (1987). However, eight sequences, i.e. one in the Lutetian, three in the Bartonian, one in the Priabonian, one in the Rupelian and two in the Burdigalian, were not identified by Haq et al. (1987). The sequences and their boundaries are directly correlated with global oxygen isotope events. Glacioeustasy generates sequence boundaries beginning as early as the middle Eocene. Within the lacustrine setting of the Pannonian Basin (late Miocene- Pliocene time) relative lake level changes appear to control the overall sequence development. However, other minor variables, the sediment supply and the topography of the initial depositional surface were additional controlling factors. Thus differences in the physiography of the basin lead to totally different sequence types that all reflect to lake level fluctuations. In lateral direction, during a short time period, these lacustrine sequences are more sensitive to changes in the initial depositional profile and sediment supply. / pages 390 and 396 are missing from text.

Since economic transition began in many Central East European Countries (CEECs) nine to ten years ago, a number of significant features of development have emerged in relation to changes within CEEC forest sectors. These include changes in ownership of both the forest resource and the forest industry, in forest policy and legislation, and in the production, consumption, trade and marketing of forest products. The objective of this thesis is to analyse recent and prospective forest sector developments in Central Europe, and to consider the implications of these developments on the economy, society, and environment of three Central European study countries (Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary), and on Central and Eastern Europe as a whole. Policy analysis is carried out through a review of forest sector policies and way in which these policies developed during the second half of the twentieth century. Based on the content of new Forest Acts, a description of current policy and an analysis of the implications of new policies is undertaken. Institutional analysis evaluate the extent to which the state has retreated from its original roles and the private sector has emerged to take on an increased role within the sector. Product market analysis is undertaken through the construction of a forest sector scenario model which projects future levels of production, consumption, import and export of seven forest products, at 5-year intervals, to the year 2050. Projections are made under three scenarios, based on differing rates of future economic growth. In the three study countries, the forest sector has adapted rapidly to the market economy system. New forest policies have been quickly developed and implemented to address the different circumstances in which the sector is in. A well managed forest resource supplies quality raw timber to a modernised and growing processing sector, which in turn is producing an increasingly wide range of timber products to growing domestic and international markets.

MA (Research) / Prior to World War II an estimated 11 million Jews lived in hundreds of communities throughout Europe. The rural Subcarpathian city of Munkács was one such place with a strong and vibrant Jewish presence - a Jewish community which constituted some 40% of its population. Munkács had experienced a long history of ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. These different ethno-religious groups managed to live, if not in close friendships, but certainly for the most part, in reasonable harmony until the Hungarian occupation in 1938. The city was well known as a major centre of Jewish life in all its varieties, from the ultra-Orthodox Hasidim to the completely secular Zionists, communists and assimilationists. It was also well known for the internal frictions between some of these factions. In Munkács the ethnic cleansing of the Holocaust happened within a few short weeks in May 1944. The entire community was destroyed, mostly deported to Auschwitz, where some 85% of them were murdered. My aim in this thesis is to contribute to the historiography of The Jewish World That Was by reconstructing a picture of daily Jewish life in Munkács in the period between the two World Wars. My perspective was a grassroots one - a bottom up view of daily life, utilising archival and scholarly secondary sources as a backdrop for the memories of some of those who lived it. I have, through their authentic voices, drawn a word picture of how they lived, learned, worked, prayed and played. In doing this, my contention has been that, to understand the full devastation of the Holocaust, it is imperative to reconstruct the rich, dynamic and colourful fabric of daily life of pre-Holocaust Jewish Europe. It is also my view that it is urgent to do this while there are still those who can help us do so.
