The Level of Dogmatism in Schizophrenia. A Comparative Analysis of Utterance Texts with the Use of the Suitbert Ertel Dogmatism Quotient The paper describes the results of comparative research on the level of dogmatism in the utterance texts of patients diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia (N=130) and healthy individuals (N=130). The analysis was conducted with the use of the Suitbert Ertel Dogmatism Quotient. The results indicate significant differences between these two groups.

ABSTRACTThis article addresses a range of conceptual issues relating to the history of European port cities in order to construct a framework for comparative research. Port cities played a key role in European urban development and their growth was often determined by common factors. Particular attention is paid to the demography of port cities, their specific labour markets and the dominant ideology of merchant capital. The article establishes a basis for analysing case studies of individual port cities and for exploring their location within the overall process of European urbanization.

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare a reconfigurable mobile electroencephalography (EEG) system (M-EMOTIV) based on the Emotiv Epoc® (which has the ability to record up to 14 electrode sites in the 10/20 International System) and a commercial, clinical-grade EEG system (Neuronic MEDICID-05®), and then validate the rationale and accuracy of recordings obtained with the prototype proposed. In this approach, an Emotiv Epoc® was modified to enable it to record in the parieto-central area. All subjects (15 healthy individuals) performed a visual oddball task while connected to both devices to obtain electrophysiological data and behavioral responses for comparative analysis. A Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a good between-devices correlation with respect to electrophysiological measures. The present study not only corroborates previous reports on the ability of the Emotiv Epoc® to suitably record EEG data but presents an alternative device that allows the study of a wide range of psychophysiological experiments with simultaneous behavioral and mobile EEG recordings.

ABSTRACTThis article examines the issues and the problems confronted by those conducting comparative research of charity-state relations in England, Canada and the United States. It also provides an explanation of why the interaction between charities and the state is important for political science: in part this is because in all three countries charities have become increasingly dependent on government for their income. In section I, the article examines the relationship between the concepts of a third sector, voluntary sector, non-profit sector and charity and concludes that the last might be the most appropriate to employ in comparative analysis. In section 2, the authors argue that in both England and Canada the state is formally responsible for the formation of certain kinds of charities; they also argue that in the United States a stricter separation between state and charity exists but that, in practice, the boundaries between charities and the state and the market are not clear ones.

Resumo: Atendendo à inexistência de legislação comunitária europeia, relativa à proteção das árvores monumentais, procurou-se conhecer a realidade legislativa, em vinte e três países do continente europeu. Assim, procedeu-se à análise comparativa da legislação sobre as árvores monumentais e dos critérios de classificação deste arvoredo, com base nas figuras de proteção legal existentes. Os países foram selecionados com base nos contactos internacionais estabelecidos e na pesquisa desenvolvida, considerando a sua distribuição geográfica. Atendendo à heterogeneidade da legislação existente, a mesma foi agrupada consoante o tipo de proteção jurídica em vigor. Procedeu-se, ainda, à identificação dos critérios mais representativos de classificação do arvoredo alvo de proteção por legislação, anotando-se oito classes, onde se destacam os critérios de longevidade associados a valores histórico e culturais. Foram, igualmente, analisados os inventários online existentes, em cada um dos países da amostra, tendo-se verificado a importância que estes catálogos assumem no reconhecimento público destas árvores, por vezes, monitorizadas durante décadas. O estudo contribuiu para alargar a reflexão sobre a importância que as árvores monumentais assumem a nível natural, como também para as comunidades, enquanto memória individual e coletiva do legado histórico, cultural ou paisagístico que representam. Permitiu, ainda, refletir sobre a importância que a legislação assume na preservação e salvaguarda atual e futura deste património. Palavras-chave: árvores antigas, árvores de interesse público, legislação, critérios de monumentalidade, pesquisa comparada.   Abstract: Monumental Trees: comparative analysis of national and European legislation regarding the protection and enhancement of this natural heritageGiven the lack of European Community legislation on the protection of monumental trees, sought to know the legislative reality in twenty-three countries of the European continent. Thus, we proceeded to the comparative analysis of the legislation on monumental trees and the classification criteria of this grove, based on the existing legal protection figures. Countries were selected based on established international contacts and research developed considering their geographical distribution. Given the heterogeneity of existing legislation, it was grouped according to the type of legal protection in force. We also proceeded to identify the most representative criteria for the classification of trees under protection by legislation, noting eight classes, highlighting the longevity criteria associated with historical and cultural values. Existing online inventories were also analyzed in each of the sample countries, and the importance of these catalogs in the public recognition of these trees, sometimes monitored for decades, was verified. This study has contributed to a broader reflection on the importance that monumental trees assume on a natural level, as well as for communities, as an individual and collective memory of the historical, cultural or landscape legacy they represent. It also allowed to reflect on the importance that the legislation assumes in the preservation and current and future safeguard of this heritage.   Keywords: trees of public interest, legislation, criteria of monumentality, comparative research

The aim of this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the mobile learning trends of students of the physical education teaching department studying in The Republic of Kosovo and Russia. In this research, causal comparative research method was used. The study group consists of 40 students studying physical education teaching at various universities in Kosovo and Russia in the 2020-2021 academic year. A total of 80 students participated in the study. The research data were collected by the semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher and the data was analyzed by content analysis method. The research results reveal that students studying in both countries have a high mobile learning tendency. In addition, students from both countries have similarly defined the advantages and disadvantages of mobile device use in education.

The purpose of this research was the comparing of psychological adaptation characteristics (type of attitude to a disease, psychological defense mechanisms, special aspects of coping-strategy) as exemplified by 2 groups of schizophrenia disorder patients: 1) schizotypal disorders (F-21 according to ICD-10); 2) paranoid schizophrenia (F-20 according to ICD-10). The authors arrived at the conclusion of the same nature if special aspects of psychological adaptation in the groups compared. At the same time, both groups compared showed imbalance of «the level of success» between individual characteristics constituting the module of psychological adaptation. This circumstance testifies to the fact that psychological adaptation in the patients with schizophrenic disorders should be evaluated on a case- bycase basis. In conclusion, the study revealed the necessity to take into consideration of these characteristics during rehabilitation of these patients.
