Impact of Job Crafting Intervention on Psychological Empowerment, Work Engagement, and Affective Well-being in Teachers
Authors: Mushtaq Asma , Mehmood Haziq
Published: July 2023

Organizations are under a lot of pressure to survive in the ever-changing world of competition. Human resources are a critical aspect for which there is no substitute. Job crafting is a component that can assist employees to improve the positive aspects of their work while reducing the negative aspects' impact. The study's main goal is to see how a job crafting intervention affects employees' psychological empowerment, work engagement, and affective well-being. It is a quasi-experimental design including both experimental and control groups. The population consists of teachers. Job crafting intervention was provided to the employees. It consists of six core elements including three sessions and pre-post testing taking a total of the six-week time period. Pre-testing and post-testing were done by using the Job Crafting questionnaire developed by Tims et al. (2012), Psychological Empowerment Scale (Spreitzer, 1995), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES; Schaufeli et al., 2006) and Job-related Affective Well-being Scale, JAWS (Van Katwyk et al., 2000). A paired sample t-test was run to see the effect of job crafting intervention on job crafting, psychological empowerment, work engagement, and affective well-being. The results were positive and significant. The relationship between job crafting, psychological empowerment, work engagement, and affective well-being was also assessed and there was a positive and significant correlation. The job crafting training can make it achievable to initiate employees’ active job crafting behavior and work engagement. Employers should recognize the need to assist and motivate staff to maximize their resources and meet their challenges.
SHAPING THE FUTURE OF TRANSNATIONAL TAX DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
Authors: Chaisse Julien , Ji Xueliang
Published: July 2023

The underlying objective of the Article is to impart an insightful comprehension of mediation and its efficacy as a viable alternative for resolving transnational tax disputes. The Article posits three main arguments. Firstly, mediation, as a method of conflict resolution, offers an array of benefits, and its utilization has witnessed a surge in popularity, particularly with the recent establishment of the Singapore Mediation Convention. Secondly, in the rapidly evolving global landscape, transnational tax disputes have become increasingly intricate and arduous to adjudicate. The current system of dispute resolution, though possessing certain advantages, ultimately falls short in keeping pace with the evolving demands of the industry. The final contention is that mediation can serve as a potent tool to augment the effectiveness of the Mutually Agreed Procedure (MAP) system. In sum, the Article posits that the use of mediation in the context of tax-related disputes embodies the characteristics of soft law, owing to its imaginative and inventive nature. Additionally, as a non-binding mechanism, mediation confers increased flexibility to contending parties, particularly sovereign entities, to safeguard their respective interests. Consequently, mediation can be a valuable adjunct to the MAP system in facilitating the resolution of tax-related conflicts.
Efficiency of public expenditure to ensure a decent living standard for citizens
Authors: Boguş Angela
Published: July 2023

The actuality of the subject. The right to a decent standard of living is a fundamental right. Social policy in ensuring the right to a decent life stems from the obligation of the state to provide adequate conditions for a decent life and refers to: regulation of the minimum wage, fight against unemployment, free primary health care, establishment of social benefits for some socially vulnerable population, who for various reasons cannot perform any work, etc. The financing of expenditures for ensuring a decent standard of living is mainly made from public budget resources, which is why the efficiency of public expenditures becomes an extremely important task, especially in the conditions of the deep economic crisis facing the Republic of Moldova. The purpose of the paper. This paper aims to analyze the living standards of the population of Moldova in terms of compliance with the constitutional rule on the obligation of the state to ensure an income, in the amount that would allow each citizen a decent living, but also the efficiency of public spending on social protection. Research methods. In this paper were used: the analytical method; synthesis method; comparative method, quantitative analysis of documents, statistical data, etc.

A reflection on the importance of standardised Dementia guidelines for intellectual disabilities: A clinical audit
Authors: Reyers Francesca , D’Cruz Deva
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the outcomes of an audit of a Community Learning Disabilities Team (CLDT) dementia pathway in the North East. The audit results were reflected on by two assistant psychologists under the supervision of a principal clinical psychologist. 80 out of 128 recommendations of the NG97 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines were deemed as not relevant to the CLDT. 45 relevant recommendations were met, three recommendations were deemed as both partially relevant and partially met. It was concluded that these findings highlight a need for intellectual disability-specific recommendations for more standardised dementia pathways within CLDTs.

Easy to read summary

■

As individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than the general population, it is important to undertake regular audits to ensure that services are delivering the best care in-line with clinical standards.

■

An audit of the NICE guidelines for Dementia was completed through team meetings of different professionals who work on a CLDT dementia pathway.

■

Out of 128 recommendations, 80 recommendations were not relevant to the CLDT, 45 recommendations were relevant, and three were partially relevant.

■

All the relevant recommendations were being met

■

It was concluded that there is a need for ID-specific guidelines to standardise dementia pathways within CLDTs.
Promoting the intellectual disability specialty within clinical psychology training; what are the barriers and how can we overcome them?
Authors: Spencer Alison , Crabtree Jason , Shaw Jenni , Randle-Phillips Cathy , Theodore Kate , Thomas Hayley , Dodd Karen , Arnold Danielle
Published: July 2023

Easy to read summary

■

Even though more psychologists are being trained, it can still be hard for Intellectual Disability (ID) services to employ psychologists.

■

This article talks about the psychology training process and how this might not encourage people to work in ID.

■

We give some ideas of things that might help during training, so that Trainees can learn more about working in ID services.

■

We hope this might make them more likely to consider working in ID services.

■

This is important because if there are not enough psychologists in ID services, people with intellectual disabilities may struggle to find the psychological help they need.

Increasing access to psychologically-informed care: A Cognitive Behavioural Therapy informed programme for multidisciplinary staff working in older peoples’ community mental health teams
Authors: Teh Ying
Published: July 2023

Background

Increasing psychological skills and therapies in the wider workforce is essential for psychologists working with finite resources and a growing older adult population. While much of the focus within older peoples’ multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and training initiatives in Scotland are on memory and dementia, there is a need to consider the changing demand which may come from older people who are increasingly socialised to seeking support with mood difficulties.

Aims

A Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) informed programme was co-developed with multidisciplinary colleagues with the aim of developing a sustainable and ongoing infrastructure that would increase the competence and confidence of attendees in delivering psychologically informed care for older people experiencing common mood difficulties (anxiety and depression).

Method

A one-day teaching session with six-weekly coaching groups was delivered. Outcome measures related to engagement and ‘benefit’; measured via a vignette assessing competence in CBT-based knowledge and skills and via subjective confidence ratings on CBT-based competencies. Acceptability and feasibility was tested via a pilot in 2018; and has subsequently ran in its present form since 2019.

Results

From 2019 to 2022, programme attendees have almost doubled and average coaching group attendance has increased from 30 per cent to 58 per cent. Competence and confidence scores have similarly increased. Qualitative feedback reflects patient-centred benefits including an increase in goal-focused interventions, collaborative working and formulation-based (rather than diagnosis-led) discussions during MDT meetings.

Conclusions & Reflections

The programme outcomes indicate MDT acceptability and effectiveness. A model of teaching and follow-up coaching allows for ongoing knowledge and skill development and is believed to be an effective model for facilitating application of knowledge and skills to practice. Within the local health board, the programme has contributed to an infrastructure for psychologically informed care, increased knowledge of therapies for older people and provided a governance framework which is workable for an older adult psychology service to sustain. A key reflection has been the importance of modelling the CBT approach throughout the programme.

DJ STENT COLONIZATION PATTERNS: EXPLORING MICROBIAL PROFILES AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Authors: KUMAR J , SHAIKH NA , SAMAD A , KURD BJ , AHMED SA , ZAIDI SZ
Published: July 2023

With the advancement of endourology, a great variety of biomaterial devices have been developed. Several studies have reported that the formation of biofilm and device infection are commonly observed manifestations that lead to urinary tract infections. An indwelling double J ureteral stent carries a significant risk; a negative urine culture does not rule out a colonized stent. Hence, assessing the extent of stent colonization without positive voided urine culture is crucial. This cross-sectional study involved 44 patients, aged between 14 to 88 years, coming to the Department of Urology at Indus Hospital Karachi to remove DJ stents from April 2019 to October 2019. The samples were collected through a non-probability consecutive technique. Urine samples, before removal of the stent along with distal portions of the DJ stent, were sent for cultural analysis to study bacteriuria and stent colonization. The whole data was analyzed on SPSS version 22.0. The study found that five patients (11.4%)  had colonization of the distal end of the DJ stent, and Burkholderia cepacia was the most common microorganism. However, n=31; 70.4% of patients had colonization in post-DJ stent urine, and Pseudomonas was the most common microorganism (n=14; 45.2%). Stent colonization had no significant association with age, gender, and positive urine culture. Most colonized stents were asymptomatic. Despite these observations, it is critical to emphasize that using DJ stents is still a generally recognized and safe treatment. Future studies should look at other aspects that colonization patterns may impact in improving the safety and management of DJ stent use.

YUGOSLAVYA KOMÜNİST PARTİSİNİN ULUSAL SORUN ÜZERİNE İZLEDİĞİ POLİTİKALAR (1918 -1941)
Authors: DEMİR Hakan
Published: July 2023

Bu makalede 1918-1941 yılları arasında Yugoslavya Komünist Partisinin ulusal sorun konusunda izlediği politikalar incelenecektir. 1918 yılında Güney Slavlarını tek bir devlet çatısı altında toplayan Sırp-Hırvat-Sloven Krallığının (1929’dan itibaren Yugoslavya Krallığı) kurulmasından sonra ülkedeki en önemli siyasi çatışma merkeziyetçilik yanlı-sı Sırplar ile federalizm yanlısı Hırvatlar arasında yaşandı. Yugoslavya Komünist Partisi, 1919 Nisanında Belgrad’da kurulduğunda Sırpların, Hırvatların ve Slovenlerin tek bir Yugoslav ulusunu oluşturdukları fikrini kabul etti ve aynı zamanda Yugoslavya Krallığının yıkılması şeklinde bir hedef belirledi. 1934’den sonra komünist parti, Sloven, Hırvat ve Sırp uluslarının varlığını ayrı ayrı kabul ederek ulusların eşitliği temelinde federal Yugoslavya devletinin kurulması yönünde siyasi bir program benimsedi. Partinin ulusal sorun ile ilgili görüşünü değiştirmesinde Komintern kararları-nın büyük bir rolü olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Yugoslavya Komünist Partisinin ilk kurulduğu anda benimsemiş olduğu tek bir Yugoslav ulusunun varlığı görüşünden farklı ulusların varlığını tanıyan federalist Yugoslavya görüşüne geçiş süreci anlatılmakta ve bu ideolojik-politik tutumdaki değişimin aynı zamanda İkinci Yugoslavya’nın (1945-1991) komünist-ler tarafından federal bir devlet olarak kurulmasında belirleyici olduğu iddia edilmektedir.

Hospital Ethical Climate and Its Influence on Clinical Nurses’ Perception on Their Organizational Citizenship Performance
Authors: Ermias Geltore Teketel
Published: July 2023

Healthcare development mainly depends on nurses’ activities, since nurses often take much time in contacting patients during clinical activities. Their awareness of the hospital’s moral climate disturbs nurses’ attitudes and associated ethical concerns. Hospital ethical climates have become a crucial working area element for nurses to prepare and apply ethical judgments. The ethical climate is one feature of an institution that denotes the collective insights of morally correct activities and techniques of handling ethically varied conduct. Better consciousness of the difficulty of ethical problems in the health facility situation has powered attention to nursing ethics. Yet, there is insufficient data on the connection between nurses’ awareness of the ethical climate worldwide. Hospital ethical climate has been studied in several industrial countries for decades but has only been investigated in some developing countries in the past two decades. In general, the chapter explained the perception of nurses and correlation between hospital ethical climate and job satisfaction, and dimensions of job design.
Proactive software rejuvenation solution for web enviroments on virtualized platforms
Authors:   , Alonso López Javier
Published: July 2023

The availability of the Information Technologies for everything, from everywhere, at all times is a growing requirement. We use information Technologies from common and social tasks to critical tasks like managing nuclear power plants or even the International Space Station (ISS). However, the availability of IT infrastructures is still a huge challenge nowadays. In a quick look around news, we can find reports of corporate outage, affecting millions of users and impacting on the revenue and image of the companies.
It is well known that, currently, computer system outages are more often due to software faults, than hardware faults. Several studies have reported that one of the causes of unplanned software outages is the software aging phenomenon. This term refers to the accumulation of errors, usually causing resource contention, during long running application executions, like web applications, which normally cause applications/systems to hang or crash. Gradual performance degradation could also accompany software aging phenomena. The software aging phenomena are often related to memory bloating/ leaks, unterminated threads, data corruption, unreleased file-locks or overruns. We can find several examples of software aging in the industry.
The work presented in this thesis aims to offer a proactive and predictive software rejuvenation solution for Internet Services against software aging caused by resource exhaustion. To this end, we first present a threshold based proactive rejuvenation to avoid the consequences of software aging. This first approach has some limitations, but the most important of them it is the need to know a priori the resource or resources involved in the crash and the critical condition values. Moreover, we need some expertise to fix the threshold value to trigger the rejuvenation action. Due to these limitations, we have evaluated the use of Machine Learning to overcome the weaknesses of our first approach to obtain a proactive and predictive solution.
Finally, the current and increasing tendency to use virtualization technologies to improve the resource utilization has made traditional data centers turn into virtualized data centers or platforms. We have used a Mathematical Programming approach to virtual machine allocation and migration to optimize the resources, accepting as many services as possible on the platform while at the same time, guaranteeing the availability (via our software rejuvenation proposal) of the services deployed against the software aging phenomena.
The thesis is supported by an exhaustive experimental evaluation that proves the effectiveness and feasibility of our proposals for current systems.
Castell: a heterogeneous cmp architecture scalable to hundreds of processors
Authors:   , Cabarcas Jaramillo Felipe
Published: July 2023

Technology improvements and power constrains have taken multicore architectures to dominate
microprocessor designs over uniprocessors. At the same time, accelerator based architectures
have shown that heterogeneous multicores are very efficient and can provide high throughput for
parallel applications, but with a high-programming effort. We propose Castell a scalable chip
multiprocessor architecture that can be programmed as uniprocessors, and provides the high
throughput of accelerator-based architectures.
Castell relies on task-based programming models that simplify software development. These
models use a runtime system that dynamically finds, schedules, and adds hardware-specific features
to parallel tasks. One of these features is DMA transfers to overlap computation and data
movement, which is known as double buffering. This feature allows applications on Castell
to tolerate large memory latencies and lets us design the memory system focusing on memory
bandwidth.
In addition to provide programmability and the design of the memory system, we have used
a hierarchical NoC and added a synchronization module. The NoC design distributes memory
traffic efficiently to allow the architecture to scale. The synchronization module is a consequence
of the large performance degradation of application for large synchronization latencies.
Castell is mainly an architecture framework that enables the definition of domain-specific
implementations, fine-tuned to a particular problem or application. So far, Castell has been
successfully used to propose heterogeneous multicore architectures for scientific kernels, video
decoding (using H.264), and protein sequence alignment (using Smith-Waterman and clustalW).
It has also been used to explore a number of architecture optimizations such as enhanced DMA
controllers, and architecture support for task-based programming models.

Mitosis based speculative multithreaded architectures
Authors:   , Madriles Gimeno Carles
Published: July 2023

In the last decade, industry made a right-hand turn and shifted towards multi-core processor designs, also known as Chip-Multi-Processors (CMPs), in order to provide further performance improvements under a reasonable power budget, design complexity, and validation cost. Over the years, several processor vendors have come out with multi-core chips in their product lines and they have become mainstream,
with the number of cores increasing in each processor generation. Multi-core processors improve the performance of applications by exploiting Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) while the Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) exploited by each individual core is limited. These architectures are very efficient when multiple threads are available for execution. However, single-thread sections of code (single-thread
applications and serial sections of parallel applications) pose important constraints on the benefits achieved by parallel execution, as pointed out by Amdahl’s law.
Parallel programming, even with the help of recently proposed techniques like transactional memory, has proven to be a very challenging task. On the other hand, automatically partitioning applications into threads may be a straightforward task in regular applications, but becomes much harder for irregular programs, where compilers usually fail to discover sufficient TLP. In this scenario, two main
directions have been followed in the research community to take benefit of multi-core platforms: Speculative Multithreading (SpMT) and Non-Speculative Clustered architectures. The former splits a sequential application into speculative threads, while the later partitions the instructions among the cores based on data-dependences but avoid large degree of speculation. Despite the large amount of research on
both these approaches, the proposed techniques so far have shown marginal performance improvements.
In this thesis we propose novel schemes to speed-up sequential or lightly threaded applications in multi-core processors that effectively address the main unresolved challenges of previous approaches. In particular, we propose a SpMT architecture, called Mitosis, that leverages a powerful software value prediction technique to manage inter-thread dependences, based on pre-computation slices (p-slices).
Thanks to the accuracy and low cost of this technique, Mitosis is able to effectively parallelize applications even in the presence of frequent dependences among threads. We also propose a novel architecture, called Anaphase, that combines the best of SpMT schemes and clustered architectures. Anaphase effectively exploits ILP, TLP and Memory Level Parallelism (MLP), thanks to its unique finegrain thread decomposition algorithm that adapts to the available parallelism in the application.
The Cultural Conflicts on E.M. Forster a Passage to India: From Post - Colonial Perspective
Authors: Shahparan Mohammad
Published: July 2023

A Passage to India is an outstanding English novel from the early 20th century. This is the most successful novel written by EM Forster. Unlike other writers of fiction on colonial or postcolonial matters, Forster attempts to enrich the anti-hostile communication between British colonialists and colonized Indians in this acclaimed novel. The purpose of this study was to find out the beliefs and attitudes of British people towards non-English people that reflect cultural conflicts.This research uses a quantitative research type. Personal relations between Britain and India at the level of equality are difficult to encourage due to the superiority complex of the British and the nationalist sentiments of the Indians. The novel A Passage to India by EM Forster shows how cultural conflicts between British and Indians occurred repeatedly in India during the colonial period. The English in this novel see themselves as superior and treat the Indians with complete injustice. Finally, a British colonial presence in India was considered a very real possibility and gave rise to an ongoing cultural conflict. The novel A Passage to India, EM Forster illustrates the cultural clash between the British colonizers and the Indian colonized. The belief of British superiority over Indian culture creates a barrier to establishing personal relationships based on equality. This superiority complex and nationalist sentiment lead to cultural conflicts in India, emphasizing the damaging effects of colonialism on both colonizers and the colonized.

Such temporary and spatially confined site is required to render host cells compatible with the intracellular progression of rhizobia. Although it has been suggested that early infection events might involve a pre-mitotic cell-cycle arrest, this process has not been dissected with cellular resolution. Here, we show that a dual-colour Medicago histone reporter robustly identifies cells with different mitotic or endoreduplication activities in the root cortex. By imaging deep root tissues, we found that a confined trajectory of cortical cells that are transcellularly passed by infection threads are in a stage of the cell-cycle that is distinct from directly adjacent cells. Distinctive features of infected cells include nuclear widening and large-scale chromatin rearrangements consistent with a cell-cycle exit prior to differentiation. Using a combination of fluorescent reporters demarcating cell-cycle phase progression, we confirmed that a reduced proliferation potential and modulating the G2/M transition, a process possibly controlled by the NF-YA1 transcription factor, mark the success of rhizobial delivery to nodule cells.

The toxicity of lantana camara on the survival and histopathology of gills of Clarias gariepinus fish from Fisheries unit, Akwa Ibom State University Obio Akpa, farm was studied in two batches (A, and B) using the ethanolic extract (EE) of Lantana camara for 96 hours under laboratory conditions. Five concentrations ranging from 0, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/L were prepared from the (EE) of L. camara for the toxicity test. The experimental animals showed different percentage mortalities with toxicant concentrations. The 96 hours LC50 for C. gariepinus for both batches (A, and B) was given at 2.983 mg/l representing a log transformed concentration of 0.475 mg/l a point where 50 % of the test organisms would be killed at the end of the experiment. The different batches of C. gariepinus (P>0.05) had no significant difference in mortality indicating that the ethanolic extract had same toxic effects on the test organisms. Toxicant exposure induced behavioral changes such as abnormal and uncoordinated swimming movement, restlessness, respiratory difficulties and attempt at jumping out was observed during the study. The results of the present study suggest that the ethanolic extract of L. camara had severe impacts on the test organism resulting in mortality. The effects of the plant extract on the gills of C. gariepinus fingerlings had severe impacts on the test organisms. Samples were taken from each of the concentrations to examine the effects of the extract on the gills of C. gariepinus. There was no observable change in the gills of the test organism in the control group. In the 2 mg/l concentration, the gill showed diffused epithelial degeneration of the primary lamella., in the 3 mg/l and 4mg/l concentration it was observed that the gills showed complete diffused epithelial degeneration of the lamella. Although cartilaginous filament of the epithelium was preserved between the two adjacent filament in skeletal muscle. Finally, in the 5 mg/l concentration the gill section showed diffused epithelial degeneration of the primary lamella and few retained processes of the secondary lamella. From the findings, it is observed that extract obtained from L. camara is toxic to aquatic life. Therefore, effective management strategies should be put in place to ensure safety compliance.

Aim: The main objectives of this study are to make use of the K-Means clustering approach to cluster the Banana data and to assist with crop yield prediction.

Study Design: One of the methods of Big Data Analytics K-Means clustering is usedto cluster the data set.

Place and Duration of Study: So far, the period 2010-2020, time series data were collected from the season and crop report, Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Chennai.

Methodology: The horticulture industry has a significant impact on India's economic development. In the globe, after China, India ranks second in terms of fruit and vegetable production. Compare to the various fruits Mango and banana are one of the most abundant fruits in India. So, the Banana dataset were collected and dataset were clustered using the K-Means clustering technique and the optimum number of clusters were identify using the elbow approach.

Results: According to these results from this study, there is positive relationship between the Area, Soil moisture, Maximum Temperature, Relative Humidity and negative relationship between Rainfall, Wind Speed and Minimum temperature related Banana production. Using K-Means clustering it divides the given dataset into three clusters in which cluster 3 contains high Banana production afterwards two and one.

Conclusion: The selection of the most productive clusters is going to tell farmers on where to focus their efforts while planting crops in order to enhance productivity and crop production.

The present investigation titled “Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on growth and yield of tomato under protected cultivation” was carried out during 2022 in Central Horticulture Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj to assess the impact of different doses of organic and inorganic fertilizer on the growth and yield of  tomatoes under protected condition, as well as to analyze the economic aspects of different treatments.  The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments replicated thrice. The treatments were T0 Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), T1 75% (RDF) +25% (Vermicompost), T2 50% (RDF) + 50% (Vermicompost), T3 25% (RDF) +75% (Vermicompost), T4 75% (RDF) + 25% (FYM), T5 50 %(RDF) +50% (FYM), T6 25 %(RDF) +75% (FYM), T7 75% (RDF) + 25% (Poultry Manure), T8 50% (RDF) +50% (Poultry Manure), T9 25% (RDF) +75% (Poultry Manure). On the basis of our finding the best treatment was found to be T6 (25% RDF + 75% FYM) which was found best in terms of growth parameters and yield parameters among different treatment combinations of tomato. Also the best B:C ratio 3.84 was found in T6 (25% RDF + 75% FYM).

Lower digit length ratio and aggression in adolescents and young adults with boxer's fracture: A case‐control study
Authors: Aslan Genç Herdem , Özcan Morey Aslıhan
Published: July 2023

Recent evidence shows that a lower second‐to‐fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), which is a sexually dimorphic trait and the indicator of prenatal testosterone exposure, may be associated with aggressive behaviors. In this cross‐sectional, case‐control study, we investigated: (1) Are the aggression and impulsivity levels and emotional problems higher? (2) Is the 2D:4D ratio lower in adolescents and young adults who presented with a fifth metacarpal neck fracture (boxer's fracture) compared to controls? (3) Is the digit ratio correlated with aggressive measures in individuals with a fifth metacarpal neck fracture? Seventy‐one consecutive patients presented with a fifth metacarpal neck fracture within the age range of 11–25 years old comprised the study group. The control group consisted of 71 age and sex‐matched subjects without a history of aggression‐related injury. The aggression, impulsiveness, and psychosocial well‐being were measured by self‐reported questionnaires. 2D:4D was measured by conventional radiography. The 2D:4D ratio was similar between groups, however, when the analyses were conducted separately for sex, females in the study group showed lower 2D:4D than females in the control group (p = 0.001). The aggression level of the study group, measured by the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire was higher than the control group (p = 0.014). The impulsiveness scores on the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale‐11 were similar (p = 0.60) and the total difficulty score on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was higher in the study group (p = 0.009). A lower 2D:4D ratio significantly predicted verbal and total aggression scores (p = 0.036, p = 0.032, respectively). Our findings suggest that females with a history of aggression‐related injury have lower 2D:4D, and a lower 2D:4D is correlated with higher aggression levels in both sexes. Understanding and addressing aggression in these patients may help prevent further self‐inflicted injuries.
