Fejeskáposzta-fajták ellenállósága a dohánytripsszel szemben

2004-ben és 2005-ben 22 fejeskáposzta-fajta dohánytripsz ellenállóságát értékeltem hazánkban két helyszínen, a fejet alkotó leveleken kialakult kártétel alapján. Minden fajta esetében 10 betakarításra érett káposztafej valamennyi károsított levelén feljegyeztem a károsodott terület nagyságát a teljes levéloldal felületének arányában. A fajták ellenállóságának jellemzésére ezeknek a levelenként fel-jegyzett értékeknek az összegeként képzett mérő-számot használtam, ami a fej belsejében kialakult összes kártételt fejezi ki. Az értékelések során a károsított fejlevek számát is feljegyeztem, amit szintén felhasználtam a fajták ellenállóságának jellemzésére. Minden fajtán kialakult kisebb-nagyobb kár-tétel. Mindazonáltal, a Balashi F1, a Bloktor F1 és a Bravo F1 fajták károsodtak a legkisebb mértékben, ezért ezeket a fajtákat a dohánytripsszel szemben rezisztensnek minősítettem. Megállapítottam, hogy az értékelések helyszíne és évjárata is befolyásolta ugyanazon fajták esetében kialakult kártétel mérté-két.

Schizophrenic public administration reform in Hungary. Tension between anti-NPM systemic and pro-NPM organizational reforms

The aim of the paper is to highlight the main characteristics of the recent Hungarian public administration reform, as well as to reveal the inconsistent nature of some of its elements and to describe the connected risks. The starting point of the article is the Magyary Zoltán public administration development programme. The reform steps are compared to the ideal type NPM approach. The Hungarian public administration reform can be characterized by strong centralization and the revitalization of Hungarian anti-liberal traditions at macro level, and by the support of the enhancement of market rules and management at micro level.

The integraton by trade and FDI of emerging economies: The ASEAN example

The paper investigates the role of regionalization and regional identity in the endeavours of emerging economies to connect successfully to the global world economy. It addresses the question of whether the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with its loose institutional integration framework, has contributed to the global integration of its very heterogenous members in the first decade of the 21st century – and, if so, what are the drivers behind this. The paper summarizes connecting theories, using a multidisciplinary approach, and uses descriptive statistical analysis to identify the achievements of the ASEAN-6 countries within global trade and foreign direct invesment (FDI) flows in the given time period. We suggest that ASEAN countries, with their efforts to initiate interconnecting regional organizations in Asia, most specifically the ASEAN+3 (APT) construction, did contribute to greater integratedness of member countries; and they have created a regional image with a common market and production base. Such achievements, however, can be in great part attributed to the micro-level activities of international and regional firms wishing to establish cross-border production networks in these countries.

How consistent is the new Common Agricultural Policy with the challenges it faces?

The latest reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has recently been accepted, identifying important challenges for EU agriculture, but proposing only limited changes to the previous CAP. Now it is time for the implementation of the new measures. However, from a theoretical point of view, it seems that the CAP can hardly meet the challenges it faces due to the inconsistencies between the predefined challenges and the measures proposed to meet them. The aim of the paper is to systematically analyse the consistency between the challenges of European agriculture and the policy measures aimed at meeting them. It seems that not all measures are consistent with the challenges.
