Career Types and Career Satisfaction Among Sociology Doctoral Graduates of Corvinus University

The academic profession has significantly transformed in the past few decades due to the industrialization of higher education and research. Based on sixteen career path interviews, the study investigates how the career paths of sociology doctoral graduates who obtained their master’s or PhD degree at Corvinus University of Budapest have been formed within this changing environment of the academic profession. The study distinguishes four researcher career path types and describes attached job characteristics and career satisfaction. Hungarian and international academic researchers have spent most of their careers at Hungarian or renowned foreign universities. Hungarian academic researchers performed a high volume of teaching, while international academic researchers primarily focused on research. The career paths of market researchers were formed by their positions at research firms, where they were involved in applied research projects. Researchers of the mixed career type alternated between the different sectors throughout their career paths that led to dissatisfaction with their careers. Interviewees of the other three types were generally satisfied with their careers, however, the reconciliation of teaching, research and organizational tasks in the case of Hungarian academic researchers, the measurement of publication performance against Western scholars regarding international academic researchers, and the choice between academic and market activities among market researchers all emerged as sources of frustration in the narratives.

Losing Touch? A Case Study on Students' Learning Barriers Within an Experiential-Learning-Based Course

The research aimed to discover learning barriers that educators unconsciously raise in students of the organisation development master’s course at Corvinus University of Budapest within an experiential and transformative educational setting. The research follows the interpretive and critical traditions of organisation studies and applies the concept of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in its research design. This article aspires to present a case that can be used by management educators working with experiential pedagogical approaches in higher education. Research results displayed a lack of emotional security and a lack of common vision and understanding as the main obstacles to students’ transformative learning through the experiential learning process. Results suggest dialogical practice for building trust and understanding to eliminate alienation in student-teacher relationship and to improve learning quality. Finally, limitations and further research directions are discussed.

The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative Economics

A whole brand-new concept was made in Comparative Economics this year and luckily we had the opportunity to get to know the unique point of views in a newly published book The Palgrave Handbook of Comparative Economics by Elodie Douarin. Corvinus University of Budapest had a chance to discuss this exciting new approach with the most prestigious professors in Comparative Economics. Elodie Douarin from the College of London, Gerard Roland from Berkeley and Bruno Dallago from Trento helped us to understand the new theory. In the Corvinus side, Zoltán Ádám, András Székely-Doby and Judit Kálmán professors participated in the discussion. The moderator was Miklós Rosta, Head of Comparative and Institutional Economics Department.

Személyes jelenlét nélküli felsőoktatás a vizsgaszervezés aspektusából a közoktatási vezetőképzésben

A tanulmány azt mutatja be, hogyan valósult meg a felsőoktatásban az áttérés a koronavírus járvány miatt a nem jelenléti oktatásra 2020 márciusában, elsősorban szemesztert és tanulmányokat záró vizsgák megszervezése szempontjából egy konkrét példán keresztül. Az Budapesti Műszaki Egyetem Műszaki Pedagógia Tanszékének szakirányú továbbképzésén a járványhelyzetre tekintettel a távolléti oktatást követően a hallgatók szigorlataira és záróvizsgáira is távolléti rendszerben került sor. A jelen tanulmányban a Microsoft Teams platform felhasználásával lebonyolított szóbeli vizsgák hátterét, körülményeit, szervezési sajátosságait mutatom be, majd levonom a tanulságokat különös tekintettel arra, hogy a későbbiekben érdemes-e változtatni a vizsgáztatás rendjén. A tanulmány nemzetközi kitekintést is tartalmaz, többek között arra, hogy Ausztria egyik felsőoktatási intézményében, a Fachhochschule St. Pölten intézményben szintén a Teams használatával, hogyan szabályozták és bonyolították le a szóbeli vizsgáztatást. A tanulmány azzal a megállapítással zárul, hogy a távolléti oktatás és vizsgáztatás új helyzet elé állította a felsőoktatást, melynek nemcsak negatív hatásai voltak, hanem a résztvevők számos új tapasztalattal és módszertani tanulsággal gazdagodtak, melyeket javasolt a vírushelyzet elmúltával is alkalmazni. The study shows how the transition to non-attendance education in higher education was made in March 2020 due to the coronavirus epidemic, primarily through a concrete example of the organisation of exams for semesters and studies. Because of the epidemic situation, the technical pedagogy department of the Technical University of Budapest also took place in an absence system. In this study, I will present the background, circumstances, and organisational characteristics of the Microsoft Teams platform's oral examinations. In particular, I will learn the lessons on whether it is worth changing the course of the review in the future. The study also includes an international outlook on how oral examinations were regulated and conducted using Teams at Fachhochschule St. Pölten, a higher education institution in Austria. The study concludes with the finding that absent education and investigations have brought a new situation to higher education, which has had adverse effects and has been enriched with several new experiences and methodological lessons. It is recommended to apply after the viral situation has passed.

WHERE PATHOLOGY, MICROBIOLOGY AND VIROLOGY CONVERGE: PROFESSOR VICTOR BABEȘ

"Providential personalities are an essential, unifying, element across cultures, omnipresent in the world’s history [1]. Professor Victor Babeș, a distinguished figure in pathology, microbiology and virology, attended high school in Budapest and pursued his higher medical education in Budapest and Wien. He lectures at the pathology department of the University of Budapest at only 18 years of age. In 1885, he co-authored the first Bacteriology Treaty in Paris alongside Cornil. In 1887, he went on to establish the pathology and bacteriology departments at the Faculty of Medicine, in Bucharest. He contributed to the medical world literature with over 1000 papers, written in different languages. Professor Victor Babeș studied bacteria, viruses, parasites and influenced preventive medicine. Overall, he discovered more than 50 new microbes. An entire book may be devoted just to his pathological discoveries (cancer, leprosy, tuberculosis, diphtheria, actinomycosis, anthrax, syphilis, plague, rabies, etc.). In 1912 he published (in Paris) a vast treaty on rabies; he dedicated 90 of his best works to rabies. Victor Babeș National Institute of Research and Development in Pathology and Biomedical Sciences has been founded on the 28th of April 1887 by Professor Victor Babeș. Initially constituted as a “Bacteriology and Pathology Institute”, it was able to comply with one of the most demanding medical needs of the time and it has contributed to finding realistic solutions regarding medical organization. In terms of importance and activity, the institute represented a prefiguration of the future Ministry of Health [2]. Professor Babeș's life should be remembered for his works that marked the opening of new horizons and for a personality whose genius echoes to this day. "

Competencies required for the implementation of an efficient supply chain from the perspectives of students and the labour market

The supply chain, the system granting customer satisfaction, is an important field in our changing world. This field’s profit-oriented companies seek employees with the competencies to achieve their goals. This research’s aim was to raise awareness of those competencies that should be developed. The authors questioned 110 supply chain management (SCM) master’s degree (MSc) students from Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB) and performed a significance test on their answers. They were asked to assess 17 competency groups and state the extent to which – on a scale from 0 to 100 – supply chain managers need them. One of the most interesting results was the assessment of presentation skills, which indicated differences between the competencies that companies expected and those that students believed were required. This study not only lays the groundwork for further research but also emphasizes the relevance of those competencies to be developed and the rethinking of training outcome requirements.

Innovative Teaching in European Legal Education

Modern teaching methods are omnipresent in academic discussions. Science is moving forward, therefore teaching has to follow, for the students' benefit. An International Conference in Hannover (December 2019), under the aegis of the well-renowned ELPIS network, discussed the matter through the diversity of legal education within the EU member states, aiming at finding common grounds on the modern teaching of law. The present book achieves a healthy balance of relevant insights by scholars and students. It consists of contributions by scientists of different fields of law. The Authors Bernd Oppermann (Professor of Civil Law, University of Hannover), Claas Friedrich Germelmann (Professor of European Law, University of Hannover), Vasco Pereira da Silva (Professor of Public Law, University of Lisbon), Francisco Balaguer Callejón (Professor of Public Law, University of Granada), Andreas Schwartze (Professor of Civil Law, University of Innsbruck), Arndt Künnecke (Professor of Public Law, Federal University of Applied Sciences, Brühl), Maria Meng-Papantoni (Professor of European Law, Panteion University of Athens), Patrick R.

Néprajz a magyar egyetemeken 1960-ig

At the University of Budapest at the end of the 18th century it was Dániel Cornides (1732–1787) who dealt with issues of Hungarian ancient religion, while András Dugonics (1740–1818) paid attention to various aspects of Hungarian folk poetry (tales, idiomatic phrases, proverbs) and folk customs in his lectures. Descriptive statistics, reports of the state of affairs in various regions and ethnic groups within the country documented the ethnographic character of these areas and groups in the first half of the 19th century. In the second half of the century professors of Hungarian literature and language investigated and discussed these topics with a comparative European perspective at universities. Ethnographic and folklore-related knowledge was disseminated by excellent professors of classical philology and oriental studies. Professors of geography (János Hunfalvy, Lajos Lóczy) played a crucial role in providing information about faraway peoples and continents at the University of Budapest. The first associate professor (Privatdozent) in ethnography was Antal Herrmann at the University of Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca, now Romania) in 1898. He delivered his lectures until 1918 in Kolozsvár, and between 1921 and 1926 in Szeged where the University of Cluj was relocated to. The first university department for ethnographic and folklore studies was established at the University of Szeged, where Sándor Solymossy, a scholar of comparative folkloristics, became professor. At the University of Budapest the first department for ethnography and folklore studies was founded for professor István Györffy, who primarily studied material culture and the people of the Great Hungarian Plain. His successors were Károly Viski (1942), then folklorist Gyula Ortutay (1946). In 1951 at the University of Budapest another department came into being for István Tálasi who was a scholar of material culture studies and historical ethnography. The head of the ethnography and folklore department of the Hungarian University of Kolozsvár (Klausenburg, Cluj) was Károly Viski in 1940–1941, and Béla Gunda between 1943 and 1948. At the University of Debrecen established in 1912 a number of associate professors held ethnographic and folklore lectures between 1925 and 1949 (István Ecsedi, Károly Bartha N., Tibor Mendöl, Gábor Lükő), but an autonomous department was established only in 1949, led by Béla Gunda until 1979. At the University of Szeged Sándor Bálint was appointed professor of ethnography and folklore studies in 1949, but only after 1990 became it possible to provide M. A. degrees in ethnography and folkloristics. M.A. degrees in ethnography and folkloristics have been provided at the University of Budapest since 1950, while at the University of Debrecen since 1959.

Еміль Балецький - дослідник закарпатських українських говорів (другий етап наукової діяльності) До 100-річчя від дня народження

Emil Baleczky (his pseudonyms: E. Latorchanin, O. Vyshchak, and his cryptonym: E. A.) is one of the most prominent personalities in the history of Ukrainian studies in Hungary in the twentieth century. His main scientific interests include Transcarpathian dialectology and historical lexicology of the Ukrainian language. The second stage of the scientist's professional carrier is connected with the University of Budapest, where in 1951, Emil Baleczky was appointed head of the Department of the Russian Language at the Institute of Foreign Languages, and at the same time assistant professor of the Russian Institute at the University. Among the scientific interests of Emil Baleczky was the investigation of lexical units commonly used in Transcarpathia, first of all, in terms of their etymology. Among the achievements of the researcher, special attention must be paid to Emil Baleczky's attempt to determine the origin of some borrowed words, including those originally Slavic, which are common in the Carpathian Ukrainian dialects. Emil Baleczky performed a deep etymological and lingual-geographical analysis of the word урик, урюк, орек in the Ukrainian language, that of the word дюг widespread in Precarpathian Ukrainian, Polish, and Slovakian dialects, and also that of the noun kert in Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialects. The author devoted a separate paper to the study of the origin of dialecticisms like фотляк, csulka ~ csurka, бôшн’ак, булґар’, валах, ґириґ, тôўт, and циганин, investigated the etymology of the terms of national dishes widespread in Carpathian Ukrainian dialects, in particular of the token бáник. He considered the role of the Old Church Slavonic language in the history of the Carpathian Ukrainian dialects. According to his contemporaries, it is known that Emil Baleczky did not maintain official connections with the Soviet Transcarpathians but was surprisingly well-informed about the scientific processes in his native land. He analyzed the works contained in the two editions of the Dialectological Collection of Uzhgorod State University. In addition to examining the issues raised, Baleczky complemented, specified, and sometimes criticized the achievements of his colleagues, which indicates his deep knowledge of Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology. Thus, we can state that Emil Baleczky's works testify the high professionalism of the author, his profound knowledge in the field of synchronic and diachronic dialectology. The love of Transcarpathian dialects inspired the researcher to study them thoroughly as well as to present the research results to the general public of Slavists. The main area of Emil Baleczky's scientific interest until the end of his life was Ukrainian linguistics, particularly Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology. The aim of this paper is to present the Emil Baleczky's achievements in the field of Transcarpathian Ukrainian dialectology, focusing on the period from 1957 to 1979.
