The Relationship

The relationship between intuition and self-aggression, which can be expressed in self-harm and suicide, has not been studied much, while Russia currently ranks second in suicides in the world, and intuition has a major impact on decision-making and behaviour. Aim. The paper aims to study the relationship between intuition and self-aggression as a correlate of potential to suicidal activity among socially adapted respondents. Materials and methods. 72 people participated in the study, 48 females and 24 males, with the mean age of 20 years. The sample consisted of university students and teachers. The following questionnaires were used: Types of aggressiveness by L. Pochechut and Test for empathic abilities by V. Boyko. These questionnaires contain self-aggression and an intuitive channel of empathy scales and, thus, reflect various aspects of intuition. The following statistical methods were also used: descriptive statistics, Kendall correlation analysis, Mann–Whitney criterion, K-means method of cluster analysis, χ2 Pearson test.Results. Over the entire sample, the correlation between self-aggression and intuition was close to zero. However, when the sample was divided by the parameters of intuition and selfaggression using the K-means method, highly differentiated types were identified: 62.5 % of the subjects were characterized by increased self-aggression and decreased intuition, 37.5 % – by low self-aggression and average intuition. Members of the first cluster also had a significantly higher overall and emotional aggression, as well as lower penetrating ability of empathy. There were no significant gender and age differences between the clusters. Conclusion. Thus, the types that were highly differentiated by absolute differences and statistical significance were detected as those characterized by: 1) increased self-aggression and decreased intuition, 2) low selfaggression and average intuition

The Relationship

Since 2016, many German citizens have participated in so-called ‘buddy schemes’ in which volunteers provide personalised support to refugees to help them build their new lives in Germany. These relationships are characterised by ethnic, gender, and age differences between the two parties. This article looks at buddy schemes from the perspective of both volunteers and refugees and investigates whether their relationships open up spaces for transformative citizenship practices, or rather reinforce exclusionary discourses. Drawing on feminist theories of care, the article describes how volunteers and refugees attach meaning to their activities and roles in the relationship. On the one hand, values attached to caring relationships, such as emotional closeness, trust, and respect, contribute to migrants’ heightened sense of self-esteem and autonomy and foster volunteers’ sense of responsibility for fighting against inequality. On the other hand, both parties enter into particular logics of care that potentially reinforce power hierarchies between them. These ambiguous dynamics influence the possibility of transformative citizenship practices on both sides. While some volunteers and refugees develop and take a critical stance on restrictive migration policies in their relationships with others, others reinforce their exclusionist viewpoints on who deserves to be helped and by whom.

Böhler’S Angle

Background/Aim. The values of the B?hler?s angle (BA) are relevant parameters for diagnosis, management and prognosis of the calcaneal fracture and the outcome. Range of normal values of B?hler?s angle (BA) in adults varies depending on the examined population, age, gender or ethnicity. The aim of this study was to determine the range of normal values of the B?hler?s angle in the central part of Serbia. Methods. The lateral foot radiographs of 225 subjects (111 males and 114 females) without calcaneal fractures, divided into 6 age groups were observed to determine the normal values of the B?hler?s angle by using the IMPAX 6.5.2.114 Enterprise software. Obtained values for B?hler?s angle were compared among gender and groups using appropriate statistical tests. Results. The mean of B?hler?s angle in observed population was 34.06?, ranging from 25.1? to 49.5? and was higher in males than in females included in our study. Gender difference was statistically significant. The distribution of the mean BA across the age groups showed tendency of decreasing with age and the highest BA was found in the youngest group. Conclusion. The findings presented in this paper confirmed the existence of wide range of BA values as well as its gender and age differences.

Abstract Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) besides cancer are the most serious threat to the health and life of the population of both developed and developing countries. The aim of the study was to know the gender and age differences with anthropometric CVD risk factors among Nepalese adults of Dharan Municipality. Materials and Methods: A population based cross-sectional study was conducted using a pretested self-administered structured questionnaire on anthropometric parameters which can affect CVD. A systematic random sampling technique was applied to cover the estimated 280 households with 900 adult population. The parameters of anthropometric risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP). The result was expressed as mean ± SD. Independent student t test and ANOVA were applied to find out the gender and age differences respectively. “P” value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The mean and SD of BMI, WHR and BFP were found to be 24.17±4.13, 1.01±2.83 and 26.91±7.15 respectively. The gender differences of BFP were found to be statistically significant, whereas for BMI and WHR were not significant (p>0.05). The age differences in BMI and BFP were statistically significant (<0.05) whereas for WHR was not found to be significant (p>0.05). The signiicant positive correlations were found among these parameters (p< 0.01). Conclusion:The results of this study emphasize the need for a comprehensive study (both lipid and anthropometric) for providing baseline data to prevent CVD in eastern Nepal.

The Relationship

Background Mobile phones allow us to stay connected with others and provide us a sense of security. We can work, chat with family and friends, take pictures, buy clothes or books, and even control home appliances. They play such a significant role in our lives that we feel anxious without them. In some cases, the relationship between humans and these communication devices have become problematic. Nomophobia (NMP) is the fear of becoming incommunicable, separated from the mobile phone and losing connection to the Internet. Since this social phobia was coined in the first decade of the XXI century, a growing number of studies have studied it and reported the prevalence of this technology-related problem. However, this research activity has generated mixed results regarding how we assess and report nomophobia and who may be at a higher risk of suffering or developing it. Methods We conducted a systematic review of 108 studies published in English and Spanish and collected them in Parsifal. We searched for assessment and prevalence data on nomophobia. Also, we looked at gender and age differences to identify risk factors and see if these differences exist and emerge worldwide. Results In this study, we find that women and younger individuals suffer more from nomophobia. The disparity in reporting the prevalence of nomophobia is enormous since the percentages of “at-risk” participants go from 13% to 79%, and participants suffering from it are between 6% and 73%, being the score in the range of 45.5 and 93.82. Within the group of nomophobic people, moderate cases vary between 25.7% and 73.3%, and severe cases, between 1% and 87%. Such disparity is due to differences in assessment criteria. Females and young people seem to be more vulnerable to nomophobia although methodological disparity makes it difficult to reach definitive conclusions. We conclude our review by recommending some common guidelines for guiding future research.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between Socially Prescribed Perfectionism (SPP) and the Big Five personality traits in a sample of 804 Primary School students between 8 and 11 years old (M=9.57; SD=1.12). The SPP subscale of the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale (CAPS) and the Big Five Questionnaire for Children (BFQ-N), which evaluate the traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, were used. The mean difference analysis showed that students with high levels of SPP scored significantly higher on Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Extraversion and Openness, with small effect sizes for all cases. In contrast, no significant differences were observed in Neuroticism. Logistic regression analysis revealed that all personality traits, except neuroticism, whose results didn’t reach the statistical significance, significantly and positively predicted higher scores on PSP, with OR levels ranging from 1.01 (for Conscientiousness and Agreeableness) to 1.03 (for Openness and Extraversion).
