The Role of Translation and EU-Texts in the English BA Programme : Exploring Hungarian College Graduates' Work Experiences and Views
2015
Despite recent convincing arguments emphasizing the benefits of using translation in foreign language learning and teaching, there is little empirical research focusing on existing educational practices. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the case of an English bachelor’s programme at a Hungarian college, which has integrated translation and specialised EU-texts into the curriculum in a systematic way in an attempt to stay abreast of the current global social transformations and address local needs. The participants of the survey were graduates of the English BA programme who have completed the optional EU specialisation module. The research aimed to find out about graduates’…

The symbolic landscape of an illiberal regime: glorifying the interwar era in post-2010 Budapest
2022
Since 2010 the Fidesz party, led by Viktor Orbán, has gradually eroded democratic institutions in Hungary using methods commonly applied by illiberal and authoritarian regimes. Previous studies explored how memory politics play a crucial role in maintaining the populist rhetoric, essential for Fidesz rule. This article aims to shed light on the spatial representation of Fidesz power in urban space. Drawing on the literature of symbolic space appropriation in general and the memory politics of Fidesz in particular, I analyze the transformation of two emblematic, centrally located squares in the capital of Hungary: Liberty and Kossuth Square. I argue that the interventions/transformations of …

Validation of the Hungarian PHQ-15. A latent variable approach
2021
Somatic symptoms without a clear-cut organic or biomedical background, also called "medically unexplained" or "somatoform" symptoms, are frequent in primary and secondary health care. They are often accompanied by depression and/or anxiety, and cause functional impairment. The Patient Health Question-naire Somatic Symptom Scale (PHQ-15) was developed to measure somatic symptom distress based on the frequency and bothersomeness of non-specific somatic symptoms. The study aimed to (1) evaluate the Hungarian version of the PHQ-15 from a psychometric point of view; (2) replicate the bifactor structure and associations with negative affect described in the literature; and (3) provide the Hungari…
Freedom of expression and the times of emergency: analysis of Article 15 of the European Convention on Human Rights and derogations made by Turkey an…
2021
COVID-19 pandemic is regarded not to be solely a health crisis, but also human rights crisis. The pandemic limited freedom of movement, freedom of expression, right to education, food security, and other rights. The thesis focuses on the limitation to the freedom of expression in Europe under the ECHR framework during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey and Hungary. In Europe, there are more than one hundred alerts on the limitation to the freedom of expression during the pandemic. The thesis is to provide an in-depth understanding and analysis of the derogation procedure of the ECHR under Article 15 ECHR and the limitation procedure to the freedom of expression under Article 10(2) ECHR. Based …

Discrimination in the sharing economy: evidence from a hungarian field experiment on the topic of ridesharing
2018
This paper describes small-scale experimental research (total N=160) implemented in Hungary in summer 2017 by TÁRKI, the Hungarian Social Research Centre. The research was based on a controlled field experimental design and examined the chances of ethnically different testers being offered rides on the most well-known international ridesharing platform. The creation of eight experimental profiles enabled us to test the interaction between two experimental stimuli: ethnic/racial background and gender. The present paper provides evidence of ethnic/racial disproportionality in offers of rides to the different testers by multiethnic drivers. A large-size effect was detected in the case of the A…
