The Use of Telerehabilitation Among Libyan Physiotherapists During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background : The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted healthcare delivery globally, particularly affecting physiotherapy practices that rely on close patient interactions. Objectives : This study investigates the knowledge and readiness of Libyan physiotherapists to adopt telerehabilitation during the pandemic. Methodology : A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted on a total of 109 physiotherapists who were recruited th…
Environmental tax reform efficiency
Ensuring green transformations of the national economy requires the careful development of effective mechanisms for influencing the behaviour of key stakeholders who impact the environment. Implementing environmental tax reforms (ETR) to balance environmental and economic effects was successful for many European countries. Adapting this experience for developing countries requires considering the impact of national specifics on the expected resul…
Sense of Coherence and Self-Rated Aggression of Adolescents during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic, with a Focus on the Effects of Animal Assisted Activities
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme deviations from everyday life. The aim of this study was to investigate how these deviations affected adolescents' sense of coherence and their level of aggression, and whether this was influenced by their relationship with animals, especially horses. In two random samples of students from vocational schools in Hungary, taken in June 2018 and June 2020 (n1 = 525, n2 = 412), separate groups were drawn from …
Increased Prevalence of Minor Physical Anomalies Among the Healthy First-Degree Relatives of Bipolar I Patients – Results With the Méhes Scale
Minor physical anomalies are somatic markers of aberrant neurodevelopment, so the higher prevalence of these signs among the relatives of bipolar I patients can confirm minor physical anomalies as endophenotypes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of minor physical anomalies in first-degree healthy relatives of patients with bipolar I disorder compared to normal control subjects. Using a list of 57 minor physical anomalies (the M…
Energy Drink Consumption, Depression, and Salutogenic Sense of Coherence Among Adolescents and Young Adults
The prevalence of energy drink consumption has increased in Hungary over the past 10-15 years. This study assesses the frequency, motivations, and adverse effects of energy drink consumption, and examines how the process of becoming a regular consumer is connected with sense of coherence and depression symptoms. A total of 631 high school and college students were assessed using the Depression Scale (BDS-13) and Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13).…
Insights Gained in the Aftermath of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The original aim of this study was a follow-up assessment of a recreational program running for six months (September 2019-February 2020) within controlled conditions. Following the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the survey acquired a new goal: how do the subjects of the follow-up sampling experience this severe stress situation, and in this experience, what role does physical activity and a salutogenetic sense of coherence play. Austrian wome…
How Equine-Assisted Activities Affect the Prosocial Behavior of Adolescents
Multiple studies have investigated the positive effects of human–animal interactions and showed that animal-assisted activities can be successfully used to better human physical and mental health. Equine-assisted activities have also raised considerable attention within the field. Our research focuses on healthy students (aged 14–18) without deviations or special educational needs. We analyze the occurrence of behavior problems and prosocial beha…
The transformation of the Hungarian cultural policy
Twenty years after the political turn we could assume that the Hungarian cultural policy has changed a lot as more and more arm’s length aspects are being implemented into the system. The establishment of cultural funds and the decentralization of the resource allocation from the central government to the local governments are examples of this transition. But has this transition finished? Is there a transition by the roots or only at the peak of …
