  • Basic income: Sugar-coating over a bitter pill?

    Current and future evolutions in labour markets may be blurring lines between traditional
    employment and new types of atypical employment, making it harder to reliably assess whether
    someone is receiving any benefits at all. The basic income should be seen as a serious option in
    the future, given the changing labor market and the findings from existing cash transfer schemes.BI is not means-tested, so the amount received does not depend on individual or family income or
    assets and does not require any work performance, or the willingness to accept a job if offered.
    In this study I examine the created image by the media through the method of content
    analysis, in relation to basic income. Furthermore, it is analyzed to what extent this effect creates
    a negative image of basic income among the students of the University of Debrecen, strengthening
    the fear towards this social policy tool. Particular attention is paid to the value choices of young
    people focusing on their individualization, motivation of working and willingness to take risks.

    This study focuses on how induced abortion is represented in the Hungarian online media in
    relation to the reception of the public debate on the new Polish abortion law. The study was aimed
    at revealing the major themes, the embedding conceptual network and the framing of induced
    abortion in the online press. Since the press is an essential influencing factor of public opinion
    due to its broad publicity, research should focus on the characteristics of the discourse in whose
    space the concerned individuals form their views and make decisions on abortion. A thematic
    analysis of relevant press releases revealed eight major themes that framed abortion in a specific
    manner: thematization of induced abortion as a social/demographic issue; legislative issues of;
    and attitudes towards, abortion; abortion as an act of (physical) self-determination; contents
    related to the abortion decision; to its causes and consequences; and depiction of women
    choosing abortion. Furthermore, the analysis revealed the themes most frequently associated
    with abortion and potentially related themes typically not associated with it.

    Background: One of the greatest challenges of the XXI. century is the changing of the medical profession. Beside of the process of deprofessionalism, the demographic and social composition of the medical society have also been altering. More women became medical doctors in recent years. Parallel to these changes, the career motivations of medical students are transforming. Method: 175 first year medical students from the Semmelweis University participated in our study. They wrote about their career motivations based on a fixed set of viewpoints. The narratives were analysed by both quantitative and qualitative (content analysis) methods. Results: The female students are committed to medical profession at younger ages. The most important factors in career choices are altruism and scientific interest for both genders. There is a male dominance in career motivations of experiences, knowledge and benefits. Conclusions: The changing face of career motivations has a significant impact on both the physicians and the patients. This issue opens up possibilities for following research.

    This article focusing on the changes within the Hungarian media sphere after the Orban–
    Simicska conflict. After the conflict the Hungarian media sphere has changed radically. Those of
    the media outlets which belonged to Lajos Simicska had cease their operation. Business persons
    who have close ties to Fidesz has founded new media outlets. In my article I analyzed three
    political case which happened during the Fall 2018. I assumed that the media sphere in Hungary
    had become more polarized than before. In order to prove it, I created two groups of the media
    outlets. The first one, which have close ties to the governing party, and the second one which has
    not got ties to Fidesz. During my research I used three different methods. First, I
    recorded astatistics about the articles. According to this, the media agenda shows large difference between
    the groups. I did content analysis on the articles, which shows us a huge polarization between
    the groups. The third one, was network analysis. The network analysis did not confirmed the
    polarization hypothesis.
