ABSTRACTS
Hungary was open to establish new relationships in Latin America after the
opening of its first post-war embassy in the subcontinent, in Buenos Aires.
The establishment of relations stalled between September 1952 and June 1953
because of the inertia of the Hungarian diplomatic service, and the dubious
actions of the Bolivians. Following the accreditation of the Czechoslovakian
ambassador to La Paz, Hungary followed suit and pushed forward to accredite
Imre Szabö to La Paz over the course of October and November 1953. The new
relations involved building ties with local left-wing groups, and negotiations
about possible commercial deals between Hungary and Bolivia.

Additions to the history of the Spanish flu pandemic
in Baranya County (1918-1920)
The Spanish flu was one of the deadliest epidemics in human history. The pandemic
appeared at the end of the First World War. The then unknown pathogen was
responsible for the death of millions. Several waves of the pandemic reached
Hungary including Baranya County. The aim of my research is to present the
effects of the epidemic in Baranya County with a primary focus on the spread
of the disease through time and land. I have presented the number of people
who died from the epidemic in the communities I examined from which we can
speculate the scale of the pandemic in those areas. During my research I have
compared death certificate duplicates with public administration documents,
contemporary articles and memoirs from that time.

In my research, I examined the Covid-19 epidemic situation in alignment with
the emotional experience of the transition to online therapy during the related
quarantine measures among psychologists. In my treatise I used semi-structured
interviews to explore the impacts of the measures taken - the switch to online
working when the virus situation in Hungary emerged in March 2020 - together
with their influences to (one’s) emotions during the perceived crisis and the
subsequent adjustment period. Regardless of the stage of their therapies and
the applicability of their methods, the therapists had to continue the processes
they started with their patients/clients in the online space from one day to the
