Student mobility between two European countries in transition, Hungary and Serbia, was considered for the period 2001-2010.The high motivation and number of Hungarian-speaking students emigrating/commuting to Hungary began in 1990, with the beginning of the Yugoslav Wars.In 2010, 1,385 Hungarian-speaking students (from Vojvodina, Serbia) studied in
A treatment for hydrophobic functionalization of natural fiber materials is developed.This hydrophobic treatment is based mainly on natural products.As hydrophobic component the natural Tung Oil is used, which is originally a compound used for wood conservation Serum Spray purposes.The application on textile is done in a padding process under prese
