  Introduction: The goals of the subject of Medical sociology are to familiarize and explain the relationships between social environment and health. The theoretical and practical elements of the medical sociology education and the field studies that form a part of practical work serve these goals. During filed studies, we build on the previous knowledge and experience of the
  students. Method: The themes of the field studies change from semester to semester. From the series of studies we picked three themes that were connected to and built on each other. We present the role of field studies through their description and the explanation of our experiences. Results: Field studies add empirical skills and experience to the knowledge acquired during the
  theoretical and practical training of medical sociology. The field study assignments also serve to strengthen the effects of the “hidden curriculum”, the process of the indirect professional socialization at the medical school. Furthermore, the new knowledge and skills give the students a better understanding of the scientific literature helping them in the interpretation of statistical
  and methodological aspects of biomedical results and concepts. Conclusion: Our experiences show that field studies are an efficient teaching method. Its most important outcome is sensitizing medical students towards health related social problems and helping them to understand and handle such problems.

  The article aims at analysing the idealtypical paradoxes of solidarity in a Hungarian rural
  community. The case study focuses on helping processes embedded in various integration
  mechanisms (including conservatory, reflexive and cybernetical ones – Sik 2015), while
  reconstructing the perspectives of the helping and the supported actors. During the field work
  interviews (n=22), small surveys (n=95) and observations (1 week) were collected, which were
  interpreted in several turns. The results of the research reveal the idealtypical paradoxes of
  solidarity in various social spaces, and also the consequences of their accumulation. According to
  our conclusion, it is particularly important to reflect upon these latter, mostly latent paradoxes,
  as their treatment is indispensable for any spontaneous or expert social interventions.

  A kötet tematikus szerkezete lehetőséget nyújt az olvasó számára, hogy a kezdeti
  elméleti felvezetés után a terepmunka módszerének köszönhetően egy-egy fejezeten keresztül részese legyen az adott térség lokális közegének. A néprajzi megközelítés eredményeként nem csak a fizikai határ jellemzőit ismerhetjük meg közelebbről, hanem betekintést nyerhetünk a helyi közösségek identitásformálásának
  legfontosabb mechanizmusaiba. A széleskörűen és változatosan vizsgált hármas
  határ blokkok igyekeznek megragadni és hűen ábrázolni a kisebbség-többség kapcsolatból adódó másság és önmeghatározás kérdéseit. Mindemellett olyan alapvető
  témákat is középpontba állítanak a szerzők, amelyek a tapasztalt lokális jelenségek
  mellett kiterjedtebb és komplexebb kérdéseket is felvetnek, úgymint a regionális
  identitás, az informális kereskedelem és a határon túli kisebbségek jövője.

  Our analysis traces the complex and fragmented housing trajectories of Ukrainian refugees in Hungary. Our starting point is that the refugees fleeing the Russian-Ukrainian war form a group with somewhat different composition in Hungary than in other EU member states, which could justify the development of a different refugee care strategy in the countries concerned. We draw the domestic aspect of the phenomenon based on our mixed-methodology research with Ukrainian refugees (interviews - N=11, quantitative online survey - N=460). The fieldwork not only provides a snapshot of housing in December 2023 but also looks back to the refugees’ first housing after arrival and traces their subsequent moves. The paper tries to look behind the housing trajectories, the housing rearrangements over a period of almost two years, and to provide clues regarding other factors determining the housing impact of Ukrainian refugees. Among these factors, we focus on the impact of the offer of solidarity housing by citizens that is not part of the national refugee assistance strategy. Our related results detail the added value of private solidarity housing but also highlight that it can be risky and unsustainable without adequate support.
