Should I Move? The Benefits and Costs of Spatial Mobility for Different Groups of the Roma Population

Introduction: Moving away can be motivated by a multitude of factors, just as the reasons for not moving away might be different. The individual’s social situation greatly determines the chance of turning their life situation around through moving away. Aims: We investigated the factors that affected the representatives of the three Roma groups researched here (Romungro, Vlach, Boyash) in their moving in the past and in their intentions to move in the future. Methods: A SEM model was developed (N = 570) to analyze the differences between previous movers and non-movers in well-being, socioeconomic status, and social network. We also investigated the effect of the above variables on the intention to move. Data were collected via the “snowball method”. Results: Out of the Vlachs, those who had moved in the past have significantly fewer confidant relatives (p = .021) and also know significantly fewer people pursuing high-prestige vocations (p = .003), moreover, the fewer people pursuing moderate-prestige vocations they know, the more they would like to move away from their present residence (p = .031). Regarding the Boyash, the more favorable their socio-economic situation, the more they would like to move away (p = .007); while regarding the Romungro, the low level of their mental wellbeing (p = .019) and the relatively high number of their confidant relatives constitutes (p = .017) the incentive to change their residence. Conclusions: The spatially mobile Roma who had moved before possess fewer confidant relatives and weak ties. The individual factors connect to the different Roma groups’ moving intentions to various extents

Impact of Bois Noir disease on grapevine performance and wine quality of <em>Vitis Vinifera</em> L. Cv. 'Chardonnay' in Hungary

Impact of "bois noir" disease (BN) on performance of 'Chardonnay' grown in Eger (Hungary) is reported from plant (vegetative and reproductive parameters, fruit composition) to wine (wine quality, sensory analysis). BN-associated chlorophyll degradation and leaf rolling resulted in a loss in functioning surface of the canopy. Lack of lignification and non-viable buds evoked unpredictable crop production. Severity and extent of reduction in production varied between years, but the crop loss was always above 53%. In the case of BN-affected grapevines the reduced quantity resulted in a low quality of grape bunch composition, which enhanced unfavourable outcomes in wines. Differences in fruit composition and wine quality between healthy and BN affected grapevines were most pronounced in years with optimal weather conditions and the negative effect was covered up in poor years. In wine regions where mechanical harvesting is applied, harvesting of phytoplasma diseased vineyards can therefore not be selective and qualitative. According to the three years study presented BN induce severe loss, and BN-affected plants compromise the yield and wine quality, and therefore the overall profitability of a vineyard
