  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.
