Válság és közigazgatás
Authors: Fazekas Marianna , F. Rozsnyai Krisztina
Published: September 2024

A tanulmány a „válság és közigazgatás” összefüggéseit vizsgálja. A tanulmány első része a válság fogalmát és annak különböző szakaszait elemzi, valamint a válságkezelést, és annak lehetséges módjait mutatja be. Ezt követően a válságkezelésre vonatkozó új magyar szabályozást elemzi, az alkotmányjogi keretekre is figyelemmel. A tanulmány második része válságkezelés során használt közigazgatási tevékenységfajtákra és azok jellemzőire összpontosít. Legfontosabb tevékenységfajtaként a közigazgatási jogalkotás azonosítható be, amelynek jellemző tárgyai és módszerei kerülnek elemzésre. Ezt követi a hatósági tevékenység. Végül a közszolgáltatásszervezés és közszolgáltatásnyújtás válság idején hangsúlyos jellemzőit mutatja be, különös tekintettel a digitalizációs tendenciákra. A diszkrecionális hatáskörök növekedése és a jogvédelmi lehetőségek egyidejű csökkenése miatt a tanulmány következtetésként a jogszerűség elvének megerősítését sürgeti, hiszen a reziliens közigazgatásnak a válságok közepette is egyszerre kell jogszerűnek és hatékonynak lennie.
Az Európai Unió munkajoga – magyar tükörben
Authors: Horváth István
Published: September 2024

Az írás a Munka Törvénykönyve szövegét „lapozva” – nem kimerítő jelleggel – ismerteti, hogy az egyes irányelvek milyen változásokat hoztak a hazai munkajogi szabályozásban. A megfogalmazásban megjelenik a kritika: bemutatva például az uniós és a magyar jogalkotás értékeit és a kodifikációs aggályokat. Néhány részletet felidézve: az írás – többek között – érinti a Munka Törvénykönyve személyi hatályát. Nevezetesen: hogyan terjesztette ki a jogalkotás az EU követelményt meghaladóan a fiatalok védelmére irányadó uniós normákat a munkaviszony mellett valamennyi további, nem a munkajog hatálya alá tartozó jogviszonyra. A közelmúlt jogalkotási témakörét idézve, az írás áttekinti, hogy az átlátható és kiszámítható munkafeltételekről, valamint a szülők és gondozók munka és magánélet közötti egyensúlyáról szóló irányelvek mely változást hoztak a munkavállalók foglalkoztatási körülményeiben. Az írás foglalkozik a munkaviszony-megszüntetés, a munka-és pihenőidő és az atipikus munkaviszonyokra vonatkozó, egyes közösségi jogi követelményeivel is, bemutatva, a jogközelítés kritériumai miként „köszönnek vissza” a magyar munkajogi szabályozásban.
Önállóság és mintakövetés: a modern magyar versenyjog 40 éve
Authors: Nagy Csongor István
Published: September 2024

Idén ünnepeljük hazánk Európai Unióhoz történő csatlakozásának huszadik és a modern magyar versenyjog születésének negyvenedik évfordulóját. E kettős évforduló kiváló apropóval szolgál a számvetésre az EU-s versenyjog magyar versenyjogra gyakorolt hatását illetően. A jelen tanulmány amellett érvel, hogy bár az EU-s versenyjog recepciója alapvetően indokolt, a fenntartások nélküli mintakövetés nem.

Published: September 2024

Existing techniques for labia minora reconstruction, developed for individuals with botched labiaplasties, currently rely on the surgical use of the clitoral hood, which is often absent in those who have undergone female genital cutting. This study introduces two novel approaches for labia minora reconstruction. Patients underwent bilateral or unilateral reconstruction as needed, and ultimately, all expressed satisfaction with no significant clinical complications observed. While longitudinal impact studies are warranted, this study introduces a surgical option for individuals with female genital cutting and botched labiaplasty seeking to restore the appearance of the excised labia minora. This pioneering reconstruction technique aspires to offer healing and empowerment, contributing to an overall more compassionate and comprehensive healthcare landscape for female genital mutilation/cutting survivors and botched labiaplasty patients.

Published: September 2024

Internet users are a huge segment of the consumer market, and businesses nowadays are trying to enter e-commerce, where customers leave reviews regarding products and services. Sentiment analysis is the process of extracting the customer's real feelings from the reviews of the product or services. This study compares logistic regression, naive Bayes, neural networks, and support vector machine algorithms for sentiment analysis and finds the best-performing classifiers among them. This applied study evaluates the classifiers using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics. The dataset was taken from the E-Commence website, on which NLP and other classifiers are employed. The results show that the Naive Bayes model, with 94% accuracy, outperforms the different classifiers, where Logistic Regression and Neural Networks are at a similar level of 93%. In comparison, the SVM gave us an average of about 92%. This study suggests the significance of continuously updating sentiment analysis systems to maintain accuracy and relevance. Real-time sentiment analysis tools are a good technique for any text mining work that can help companies address customer problems based on immediate feedback and improve their products.
Does Watching Fictional TV Series Increase Social-Cognitive Skills?
Authors: Lenhart Jan , Richter Tobias
Published: September 2024

Many current theories propose that engaging in stories in which human interaction and interpersonal relationships are addressed might train social-cognitive skills (theory of mind, empathy), but research has rarely focused on TV series as a prevalent audiovisual form of stories and on narrative processes (i.e., transportation and identification) that might moderate story effects. We conducted two naturalistic online studies in which the participants at home and at their convenience watched either three episodes of a fictional TV series that featured human interaction or a nonfiction documentary that featured no human interaction. In Study 1, 201 participants completed a theory-of-mind task and an empathy questionnaire before and after watching the TV stimuli. In Study 2, 165 participants completed the same two questionnaires and a media-based empathy questionnaire before and after watching the TV stimuli and again one week later. In addition, transportation and identification were assessed after watching the TV stimuli. Results of both studies indicate that viewers’ social-cognitive skills show no significant improvement after watching three episodes of fictional TV series compared to nonfiction documentaries. An additional small lab study with 46 participants mirrored the findings of the naturalistic online studies.

The Black Hole Information Paradox: Is Omniscience a Fundamental Property of the Universe?
Authors: Shriki MD Jabi Elijah
Published: September 2024

We seek to examine the ontological aspects of the resolution of the black hole information paradox. Several concepts which are now central to our understanding of quantum mechanics arose from our resolution to this paradox, and these concepts point to the conservation of all information, even on a quantum level. If quantum information is conserved and can never be erased or destroyed, then this indicates that all information is at least theoretically, ultimately retrievable and knowable from the event horizon of the universe. Ontologically, this supports the contention that a repository of all information in the universe must therefore exist. Herein, we trace the steps in this contention and conclude with the argument that our understanding of the universe points to the existence of an omniscient entity.

Published: September 2024

This study focuses on the deformation characteristics of hybrid orthotropic composite sandwich beams under axial and bending loading. The homogeneous cores of the hybrid orthotropic sandwich beams affect different parameters on structures. We followed by analytically determining effective material properties to study response of the hybrid sandwich beam under axial and bending loading. Ensuing, we programmed all steps and procedures of solution algorithm into commercially available MATLABTM 2020 code to simulate practical scenarios. Subsequently, we collected and processed data in tabular and graphical forms to facilitate analyses. We compared simulation generated results to the data results available in the literature and found to be within the acceptable range of (±6%) deviations. We observed that the hybrid structure beams had undergone less deformation that confirmed that the hybrid structure beams have comprehensive mechanical advantages as well as has high strength and specific energy absorption capabilities. Based on comparison of the results, the hybrid beams are more damage resistant and tolerant than beams made of the other type of materials. Since hybrid sandwich beams are relatively light, economical, and perform better under axial and bending deformations. Therefore, this study could also be extended to investigate performance of the orthotropic sandwich beam structures under multiple loading directions as well as proposes that the usage of the hybrid sandwich beam components will be useful in global structures.
Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: Analysis of the Results in the Author’s Initial 200 Cases
Authors: Rico Pereira Marta , Muñoz Hernández Fernando
Published: September 2024

Background Endoscopic endonasal approaches represent currently an important tool for approaching the skull base. The evolution of new techniques is based in the continuous acquisition of skills and abilities and it is paramount to determine the safety and effectiveness of new approaches. Based on that, the aim of this study is to analyze our results after the first 200 cases. Material and methods We performed a retrospective review of all cases operated on through an endoscopic endonasal approach in our Skull Base Unit, between January 2007 and May 2018. We analyze the results and all the per-operative complications associated. Results In this study we included 200 cases, comprising 105 female (52,2 %) and 95 male (47,5 %), with a mean age of 45,6 (range 21-85 years-old). The most commonly reported pathology was the pituitary adenoma, comprising 121 cases (60,5 %), followed by 13 meningocele (6,5 %), 9 chordoma (4,5 %), 6 skull base meningioma (3 %) and 7 cranyopharingioma (3,5 %). 161 cases (81 %) represented first surgery. The most frequently reported complication was diabetes insipidous in 17 % of all cases, followed by CSF leak, represented by 15 cases (7,5 %). 12 CSF leak cases were successfully treated by external lumbar draining and 3 patients required second surgery to skull base repair. In the last 50 cases, only one CSF leak has been reported, representing an incidence of 2 %, successfully treated by endoscopic repair. This decrease in CSF leak represents the impact of the learning curve in skull base reconstruction. 5 % of patients suffered meningitis and 5 % presented permanent anosmia. In our serie we reported 1,6 % of transient neurologic deficit represented by oculomotor palsy and 1,6 % of permanent neurologic deficit due to infarction. 3 patients in this serie has died, two due to malignant ICA occlusion and 1 due to infection (overall mortality 1,5 %). The most commonly used approach was the transsphenoidal transsellar approach (58 %), followed by transplanum-transtubercullum approach (8 %). Gross total resection was achieved in 76 % of tumoral pathology, 71 % in cases of pituitary adenomas. Conclusion From this review we can conclude that, in our serie, endoscopic endonasal surgeries represent safe approaches to the skull base to a huge variety of pathologies. Progressive acquisition of skills and experience is paramount to improve the results, avoiding and reducing complications. Appropriate patient and pathology selection is also mandatory.
Carbon Removal from Green Roofs in Urban Communities: A Case Study in the City of Chania, Crete, Greece
Authors: Vourdoubas John
Published: September 2024

Construction of green roofs on rooftop of buildings in urban areas has multiple environmental, economic and social benefits including the atmospheric carbon removal. Rooftops of buildings can be also used for the installation of solar photovoltaic and solar thermal systems generating green energy. The use of green roofs in buildings in Crete, Greece is very limited. The impact of green roofs and of solar-PV systems installed on rooftop of buildings located in the municipal unit of Chania, Crete, Greece has been examined. It has been estimated that green roofs remove atmospheric carbon through plants’ photosynthesis and contribute in carbon emission savings due to lower energy consumption in buildings. Additionally, installation of solar-PV panels on rooftop of buildings contributes to green energy generation and to climate change mitigation. Apart from climate change mitigation green roofs have multiple external environmental, economic and social benefits. It has been indicated that the impacts of green roofs to climate change mitigation are lower than the impacts of solar photovoltaics’ installation on rooftop of buildings. The multiple external benefits of green roofs indicate that their construction should be financially subsidized in Greece like in other EU countries. The findings could be useful to municipal authorities who should promote the construction of green roofs in urban buildings in their municipalities.

THE AUTHORITY OF THE POLICE IN SOCIETY IS A CONDITION OF SECURITY
Authors: Bednarz Bartłomiej
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: Aim: The main research goal was to show the level of authority enjoyed by the Police in society and what is directly related to it: the level of security felt by the inhabitants of Poland on a national scale and in the local community. Methods: The study uses the method of analysis and synthesis of the literature on the subject and the analysis of statistical data. Results: The conducted research showed that Poles feel safe in their place of residence and evaluate the work of the police positively. This is largely due to the effective actions of officers who, by acting preventively, prevent crimes and offenses from being committed and efficiently identify and arrest the perpetrators of those that have already been committed. The sense of security and the decrease in criminal activities in the place of residence have a positive impact on the image and authority of the police. Coclusion: The police currently (contrary to what some media are trying to push) enjoys the highest authority in history, which is due, among other things, to the professionalism of the people serving and working in it, their education and the highest level since 1990, i.e. since the first survey research, the level of safety recorded in the opinion of adult Poles. Authority, however, is not something given permanently, you have to take care of it so as not to lose it as a result of ill-considered decisions or actions of individual individuals. Oryginality: In the current world, where attempts are made to undermine the qualifications and trust in people and institutions widely considered authorities in their fields, it is important to remind them of their importance for society, the impact they have on its development and security, and systematically analyze what needs to be done next. improve them to improve their performance and further increase trust in them.

Authors: Shahzadi Namra , Sehar Arooba , Iram Anila
Published: September 2024

The study aimed to discover how common nomophobia is among Pakistani university students in Gujrat. A total of 1000 senior semester students, ages 17 to 26, participated in this study, with gender inequalities also being eliminated. Students completed the NMP-Q questionnaire on nomophobia (Yildirim & Correia, 2015). The use of mobile phones showed that most participants used their phones for between six and ten hours a day, spent less than five hours online, received fewer than five calls and 100 SMS messages daily, and had at least one phone. Out of all the answers, the question with the most significant percentage of responses (62.8%) was "I would be nervous because I would be disconnected from my online identity." The scale's psychometric qualities demonstrate internal solid consistency (α=.82) and good reliability. The results also showed that university students had a significant frequency of nomophobia. Most students (75.5%) exhibit a moderate degree of nomophobia, consistent with earlier research findings. The results also showed that, in comparison to male pupils, female students exhibit a higher degree of nomophobia. Cross-sectional studies at several universities should be conducted to improve future research's generalizability.

Authors: Nadeem Nimra , Zulfiqar Humaira , Lodhi Saba , Syed Rafia
Published: September 2024

The current study explores the perception of youth regarding Aurat March in Pakistan, emphasizing its importance in understanding young people’s perspectives on gender issues. The semi-structured interview guide was used to conduct the interviews with young people. The interviews were then transcribed and analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The findings indicate that young people hold positive and negative views of the Aurat March. On the positive side, many perceive it as a crucial protest against gender inequality and injustice, offering a platform for individuals to advocate for women's rights. However, there are also concerns among youth that the Aurat March promotes vulgarity and advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, which some perceive as a western agenda. Additionally, some participants feel the march primarily represents the issues of elite women rather than addressing broader societal concerns. This study highlights the importance of involving young, educated individuals in the Aurat March to raise awareness of gender issues, challenge societal norms, and create a more inclusive dialogue around women’s rights in Pakistan. Understanding these diverse perceptions is essential to increase meaningful conversations and progress toward gender equality in the country.

I den här studien fördjupas förståelsen av de övergripande utmaningar som personalen inom kommunala arbetsmarknadsenheter (AME) upplever i sitt dagliga arbete. Det finns inga lagstadgade krav på att kommunerna ska bedriva arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder, men genom förskjutningen i det ekonomiska ansvaret för vissa utförsäkrade (Försäkringskassan) och arbetslösa (Arbetsförmedlingen) har kommunerna ekonomiska incitament att engagera sig i arbetsmarknadspolitiken. I studien har data samlats in genom fokusgruppsintervjuer med 45 personer. Deltagare har varit personal inom AME i åtta kommuner. Resultatet visar att personalen måste anpassa sig när omvärlden förändrar förutsättningarna för deras deltagare. AME behöver vara flexibelt organiserat genom att verksamheten är (med)beroende av omvärlden och dess olika (politiska) system. Detta kan ses som ett övergripande systemhinder som AME-personalen möter i sitt dagliga arbete och förståelse för kommunernas roll som yttersta skyddsnät.

Authors: Baroudi Mazen
Published: September 2024

Denna studie undersöker barns upplevelser och perspektiv på sina rättigheter under COVID-19-pandemin. Genom kvalitativa metoder visade data från 22 barn i Umeå hur pandemin påverkade barnens liv och skolgång. Barnen uppskattade Sveriges hantering av pandemin men tyckte samtidigt att deras fysiska och mentala hälsa påverkades negativt. Distansundervisningen medförde flera utmaningar, inklusive tekniska ojämlikheter och bristande stöd från lärare. Barnen betonade behovet av bättre kommunikation och informationsdelning, samt föreslog fler kanaler för att kommunicera med beslutsfattare. De framhöll också vikten av investeringar i skolhälsa och åtgärder mot ojämlikhet och diskriminering. Resultaten understryker betydelsen av att integrera barnens perspektiv i beslutsfattande och krisberedskap för att säkerställa att deras rättigheter skyddas och främjas. Denna studie belyser vikten av barnens röster för att skapa en mer rättvis och inkluderande framtid.

Sedan 2008 har andelen som begravs i Sverige utan ceremoni ökat från två procent till nio procent (med en toppnotering pandemiåret 2020 på 11 procent). Enligt Sveriges begravningsentreprenörer kan en begravning utan ceremoni förstås som en direktkremering där hämtning, transport och gravsättning sker helt utan närståendes medverkan. Den här artikeln sammanfattar de svenska rapporter och uppsatser som finns om begravningar utan ceremonier tillsammans med det internationella forskningsläget. De svenska undersökningarna antyder att nya typer av personliga och privata ceremonier kan ha ersatt borgerliga och religiösa ceremonier. Det internationella forskningsläget pekar mot att avstå från ceremoni kan öka risken för förlängd och fördjupad sorg (komplicerad sorg). Tidigare forskning förbiser vad den ökande sannolikheten att ingen kommer till ens begravning har för konsekvenser för dem som lider av ensamhet.

Published: September 2024

This paper explores the evolution of body symbolism in sculpture art since the 20th century, combining Saussure's semiotics and deconstruction theory to analyze the symbolic meanings of body imagery across different historical periods and cultural contexts. The study first reviews the representation and cultural significance of body symbols in ancient Greek and Roman, Renaissance, and Chinese ancient sculpture. It then reveals the processes of deconstruction and reconstruction of the body in modernist and postmodernist sculpture, examining the representative works of artists such as Henry Moore, Constantin Brâncuși, Antony Gormley, and Jeff Koons. Subsequently, the paper focuses on how feminist artists use body symbols to express gender, identity, and power relations, and how the application of new materials and technologies in contemporary sculpture innovates and extends body symbolism. Finally, the paper summarizes the multiple meanings of body symbols in sculpture art and proposes directions and recommendations for future research.
Transformation of the Sense of Knowledge and the University Subject through the TD Chair
Authors:   professor at the Veracruzana University, Mexic, Adame Domingo
Published: September 2024

In this article I intend to show how the purpose of the modern university, as a guardian institution and transmitter of knowledge, was overwhelmed by the complex reality that humanity began to live from the twentieth century. From a method of critical analysis, I came to the conclusion of the urgency of transforming the sense of knowledge where the Subject who knows is part of knowledge, as proposed by the Transdisciplinary Methodology. In this way, it is possible to think of a future TD Chair.
A Transdisciplinary Chair to Save the University
Authors:   Member of the scientific committee of the Institut Psychanalyse et Management (Paris). Member of CIRET (Paris, France), Landier Hubert
Published: September 2024

The following presents a critical examination of the changing role of universities within the context of a misunderstood contemporary globalist society, where economic and techno-scientific imperatives increasingly influence academic institutions. Traditionally, universities were autonomous entities dedicated to the production and transmission of independent knowledge. However, the rise of management sciences, driven by market demands and aligned with economic doctrines, poses a significant threat to this independence. The article argues that universities risk becoming mere providers of marketdriven skills, thereby compromising their fundamental role as spaces for critical thought and fundamental research. To counter this trend, the concept of a transdisciplinary chair is proposed as a means to reclaim the university’s mission to explore beyond the dominant socio-economic paradigms.
Developing a Transdisciplinary Curriculum in Law: Integrating Social, Technological, and Ethical Aspects. International Law Quo Vadis?

This study is based on the stage marked by the 30th anniversary of the Charter of Transdisciplinarity in 2024, serving as a moment of reflection-tribute to the academic Basarab Nicolescu. Transdisciplinarity acts as a fundamental approach, complementing disciplinary methods by fostering new perspectives and bridges through the interaction of various disciplines. As stated in the Charter, transdisciplinarity does not seek to create a super-discipline encompassing all others, but to open disciplines to their commonalities and to what lies beyond their boundaries. The inadequacies of traditional legal norms now have a real chance of resolution through the innovative attitude of transdisciplinarity in legal education and research. An international chair of transdisciplinarity would catalyse global academic collaboration, knowledge exchange, and development. Conceptually and practically, transdisciplinary education, through its framework, would develop universal rules and norms for new technologies, climate change, economic development, and human rights. Integrating digital law into international norms and practices stimulates new debates, particularly regarding the regulation of personal data, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies such as AI and autonomous robots. The article proposes efficient and clear solutions presented both textually and in the form of diagrams designed to reinforce the logic of their application.
The Transdisciplinary Chair and the Mainstream Shadow: An Analysis Starting from the ADJURIS Volumes 1 and 2 through the HPTD-M Theory Perspective
Authors:   Independent transdisciplinary theorist and practitioner (HPTD-M), Brazil, Costa Leonardo da Silva Guimarães Martins da
Published: September 2024

The objective of this article is to compare the many approaches of TD presented in the 2024 ADJURIS Book Volumes 1 and 2 ‘For an International Transdisciplinary Chair’, showing that the HPTD-M theory can dialogue with all of them and be used as a mediation tool. Considering the HPTD-M concepts of Analytic or Hard and Synthetic or Soft: the first is related to rational and empirical types of intelligence, and the second to emotional and intuitive. Through our analysis two TD mainstreams were found, regarding the dominance of one or another, but in the end TD is about the dialogue of the two complementarities, i.e., AnalyticSynthetic and Hard-Soft. From an emotional intelligence shadow perspective, it is not enough to induce transformation and paradigm shift through intellectual convincement. More than that, emotional acceptance is necessary on personal and collective levels. The findings in this text involve i) the connection of the mainstream emotional shadow with the reduction of Subject to Object, ii) a list of four dysfunctions in universities, and iii) the gap in awareness among Jungians in the USA and Europe about TD and among TD academics in these regions about Jungian Analytical Psychology, despite their convergence in many aspects. TD is not a mere theoretical framework but also a practical tool for addressing complex problems, as evidenced by the various HPTD-M schematic models. To conclude, some reflections on the mainstream shadows through complementarities and reductionisms are demonstrated as follows. 1. Complementarities (dualities in interaction): 1.1 Subject and Object. 1.2 Analytic-Hard and Synthetic-Soft. 1.3 Generalists and Specialists. 1.4 Bureaucracy and Innovation. 1.5 Complexity and Simplicity. 2. Reductionism (broader concepts that tend to be in the shadow): 2.1 Understanding replaced by Knowing. 2.2 Ideas replaced by Ideologies. 2.3 Technoscience replaced by Scientism.
A Plea for a Transdisciplinary Chair: Tradition and Innovation
Authors:   CIRET board member, Associate Researcher NII Tokyo, Thieriot Loisel Mariana
Published: September 2024

This paper advocates for the establishment of a transdisciplinary chair, arguing that cultural transmission through dialogue, which has been present in philosophy classes since antiquity, can adopt a reflective stance across all disciplines. The central focus is on the pitfalls of philosophical discourse and the risk of dehumanizing relationships in favor of conditioned behavior. The importance of the transdisciplinary process that promotes personal development in a collective context and the necessity of dialogue to understand and apply laws, as opposed to blind obedience and exclusivism, is emphasized. Transdisciplinary training is presented as a means to stimulate dialogic thinking and create a fertile cooperation between disciplines, fostering the evolution of consciousness within educational institutions inspired by our traditional knowledge.
"Terra Sonâmbula": Manifestações de uma "Odisséia" Africana no Moçambique Pós-Independência
Authors: Moser Robert
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This essay focuses on Mia Couto’s first novel, Terra Sonâmbula (1992) and, specifically, his incorporation of the epic genre from Western literature into the cultural milieu of post-colonial Mozambique. Ana Mafalda Leite, in her study of epic discursivity in African literature, A Modalização Épica nas Literaturas Africanas, establishes significant structural parallels between the orality of Homer’s epics and the predominant oral tradition to be found in pre-independence Lusophone African literature. The cornerstone of her thesis lies in her argument that the epic model functioned as an important paradigm in the literature of such Portuguese colonies as Angola and Mozambique which, in their struggle for autonomy, were necessarily engaged in the process of constructing a national identity. Since its independence in 1975 until 1992, Mozambique was mired in a drawn-out civil war that drained the natural and human resources of that country. It is within this context that Mia Couto introduces his protagonists in Terra Sonâmbula, portraying the journey of an elderly man and a young boy fleeing from a refugee camp in Mozambique. By utilizing parallel episodes of Homer’s Odyssey, this study illustrates those epic characteristics in Terra Sonâmbula that reveal the ongoing search for both a cultural and a national identity in war-torn, post-colonial Mozambique.
DIFFERENCES IN FINGER LENGTH RATIO BETWEEN STUDENTS OF PSYCHOLOGY AND SPECIAL EDUCATION AND REHABILITATION
Authors: KAMBERI Bajram
Published: September 2024

Background: The disproportionate length of human fingers has generated much interest among researchers. Attention has been drawn to the relationship between the palmar digit (2D:4D) ratio and personality, but the obtained results have been inconsistent. This pilot research project was a qualitative study that aimed to investigate the similarity or differences in the length of fingers 2 and 4 in two groups of students aged 20-21 years from different study programs (psychology and special education and rehabilitation) from Tetova University in Tetova to see if the selection of study program is influenced by the length of certain fingers. Materials and procedure: Single measures of the lengths of the 2nd and 4th digits from the fingertip to the ventral proximal crease of the left and right hand were collected using a ruler calibrated to 0.05 cm. The measurements were anonymous and performed in October of 2023 by the lecturer of teaching subjects in 30 consenting students who participated voluntarily and without any compensation in the participation. At the same time, the data analysis was done statistically using the paired samples test. Results: Means and standard deviations of the parameters with respect to group differences were calculated. We found a nonsignificant group difference in the 2D:4D ratio for the right hand (p=0.402) and for the left hand (p=0.775). Conclusion: Detailed information of finger length parameters and D2:D4 index in a sample study with more participants in the future period will be used from the perspective of neuropsychology.
