    In the basement areas of the southern Pannonian Basin, Central Europe (Tisia Composite Terrane, Hungary), Variscan blocks are essential components. The existing paleogeographic reconstructions, however, are often unclear and contradictory. This paper attempts to give a contribution for paleogeographic correlation of the Tisia using paleohydrological features (e.g., vein mineralization types, inclusion fluid composition and origin) of the Pennsylvanian continental succession and neighboring crystalline complexes. Vein-type mineralization in the studied samples dominantly forms blocky morphological types with inclusion-rich quartz and carbonate crystals. The evolution of hydrothermal mineralization and host rock alteration in the study area comprises three major stages. The first one is characterized by chloritization, epidotization, and sericitization of metamorphic rocks together with subsequent formation of Ca-Al-silicate and quartz-sulfide veins (clinopyroxene-dominant and epidote-dominant mineralization). The related fluid inclusion record consists of high-temperature and low-salinity aqueous inclusions, corresponding to a reduced retrograde-metamorphic fluid phase during the Late Westphalian (~310 Ma). The next mineralization stage can be related to a generally oxidized alkaline fluid phase with a cross-formational character (hematite-rich alkali feldspar-dominant and quartz-dolomite veins). High-salinity primary aqueous inclusions probably were originated from the Upper Permian playa fluids of the region. The parent fluid of the third event (ankerite-hosted inclusions) was derived from a more reductive and low-salinity environment and can represent a post-Variscan fluid system. Fluid evolution data presented in this paper support that the W Tisia (Mecsek–Villány area) belonged to the Central European Variscan belt close to the Bohemian Massif up to the Early Alpine orogenic phases. Its original position is presumably to the northeast from the Bohemian Massif at the Late Paleozoic, north to the Moravo-Silesian Zone. The presented paleofluid evolution refines previous models of the paleogeographic position of the Tisia and puts constraints on the evolution of the Variscan Europe

    Regarding physical education, significant changes could be detected in the educational policy with the introduction of the everyday physical education in Hungary. Thus the investigation of alteration in the field of Physical education and sport provides the main topic. Firstly, the appreciation of the fact was measured; on the other hand, we were searching the answer how the positive and negative attitudes toward everyday physical education appeared among the students (N=1153), concerning the aims of the National Curriculum 2012. Results show that the outstanding part of the students (95%) like PE lessons. Regarding gender differences in the appreciation, a significant difference can be pointed out as it is remarkably higher among boys (p=0,000). The role of PE teachers and their motivating effect can be seen in our study

    In many parts of the metapelitic (gneiss, mica schist) rock section of the Baksa Complex, significant wall-rock alteration is observable along the Ca-Al silicate veins, which show a di → ep ± czo →sp → ab ± kfs → chl → adu → prh → py → cal mineral sequence (FINTOR et al., 2009). These alterations appear as narrow (few cm thick) bleached margins beside thin veins, and broad alteration bands along thick veins where detailed epidotization and chloritization of the adjacent rock are recognizable. Based on petrographic and mineralogical examination of the altered wallrocks, metasomatic zones with characteristic mineral paragenesis can be distinguished: Zone 1 (ab + ttn ± ep), Zone 2 (ep + chl+ ttn + ab ± ser), Zone 3 (chl + ep + ser + rt ± ttn), Zone 4 (ser ± chl). Bulk rock chemical analyses were made from the different metasomatic zones. The results show that fluid circulated in the propylitic veins caused metasomatic alteration of the wall-rock, with transport of considerable amount of Ca2+ toward the adjacent rocks. The hydrothermal leaching almost totally removed the K, Fe, Mg, and Mn ions from the wall rock. The main alteration processes are the epidotization and chloritization of biotite, and albitization of micas (muscovite + biotite) content of metapelites. Based on mobilization of different cations alteration was due to? to a near neutral fl uid (~pH 5–7). The pervasive hydrothermal leaching caused significant secondary porosity (cavities) in the altered domains, which were partially filled by epidote. Fluid inclusions of cavity filling epidote indicate a similar character (Th: 180–360 °C; Salinity: 0.2–1.6 mass% eq. NaCl) to that can be found in Ca-Al silicate veins. The alteration most probably occurred in the 360–480 °C temperature range as products of \u27near vein metasomatism\u27 and the altered rock can be related to the propylite metasomatic family

    SVD-clustering, a general image-analyzing method explained and demonstrated on model and Raman micro-spectroscopic maps

    An image analyzing method (SVD-clustering) is presented. Amplitude vectors of SVD factorization (V1…Vi) were introduced into the imaging of the distribution of the corresponding Ui basis-spectra. Since each Vi vector contains each point of the map, plotting them along the X, Y, Z dimensions of the map reconstructs the spatial distribution of the corresponding Ui basis-spectrum. This gives valuable information about the first, second, etc. higher-order deviations present in the map. We extended SVD with a clustering method, using the significant Vi vectors from the VT matrix as coordinates of image points in a ne-dimensional space (ne is the effective rank of the data matrix). This way every image point had a corresponding coordinate in the ne-dimensional space and formed a point set. Clustering was applied to this point set. SVD-clustering is universal; it is applicable to any measurement where data are recorded as a function of an external parameter (time, space, temperature, concentration, species, etc.). Consequently, our method is not restricted to spectral imaging, it can find application in many different 2D and 3D image analyses. Using SVD-clustering, we have shown on models the theoretical possibilities and limitations of the method, especially in the context of creating, meaning/interpreting of cluster spectra. Then for real-world samples, two examples are presented, where we were able to reveal minute alterations in the samples (changing cation ratios in minerals, differently structured cellulose domains in plant root) with spatial resolution. © 2020, The Author(s)
