Time perspective profile and self-reported health on the EQ-5D.

Objectives: Time perspective (TP) is a psychological construct that is associated with several health-related behaviours, including healthy eating, smoking and adherence to medications. In this study, we aimed to examine the associations of TP profile with self-reported health on the EQ-5D-5L and to detect which domains display response heterogeneity (cut-point shift) for TP.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of EQ-5D-5L data from a representative general population sample in Hungary (n = 996).

The causal impacts of empty stadiums on women's sports activities: Evidence from European football leagues.

This paper examines the effect of spectators on women's football games. COVID-19 and related restrictions provide a unique opportunity with an adequate sample size to test the effect of lockdown on sports activities. Studies have recently exploited this opportunity for men's football to better understand the potential causes of home advantage and, more specifically, assess the psychological consequences when matches are played without supporters.

Inclusion unlocks the creative potential of gender diversity in teams.

Measuring efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer in e-learning.

With e-learning rapidly gaining popularity, evaluating its effectiveness and efficiency has become a challenge in public education, the public sector, and the corporate sector. Measuring knowledge transfer is crucial in any learning process, but e-learning lacks validated methods for this. Here we examine ways to evaluate that particularly in case of e-learning, conducting a literature review to assess available measurement solutions, developing an evaluation method for knowledge transfer, and validating the method.

Organisational factors associated with hospital costs and patient mortality in the 365 days following hip fracture in England and Wales (REDUCE): a record-linkage cohort study.

Background: Hip fracture care delivery varies between hospitals, which might explain variations in patient outcomes and health costs. The aim of this study was to identify hospital-level organisational factors associated with long-term patient outcomes and costs after hip fracture.

Methods: REDUCE was a record-linkage cohort study in which national databases for all patients aged 60 years and older who sustained a hip fracture in England and Wales were linked with hospital metrics from 18 organisational data sources.

Exploring park visitation trends during the Covid-19 pandemic in Hungary by using mobile device location data.

Sweeping changes in park visitation have accompanied the Covid-19 pandemic. In countries where governments imposed strict lockdowns during the first wave, park visitation declined in cities. The benefits of visiting urban green spaces on people's mental and physical health and well-being are generally acknowledged; many people in confinement during lockdowns reported increasing mental health issues.

Psychometric properties and general population reference values for PROMIS Global Health in Hungary.

Estimation of the potential GDP by a new robust filter method.

The first purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretically new robust filter method to estimate non-observable macroeconomic indicators. The second purpose is to apply the proposed method to estimate the Hungarian potential GDP in 2000-2021. The novelty of the proposed filter method is that - unlike papers published so far - it does not require the stability of the dynamic model, only a partial stability condition must be satisfied.

Digital traces of brain drain: developers during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Unlabelled: The Russian invasion of Ukraine has caused large scale destruction, significant loss of life, and the displacement of millions of people. Besides those fleeing direct conflict in Ukraine, many individuals in Russia are also thought to have moved to third countries. In particular the exodus of skilled human capital, sometimes called brain drain, out of Russia may have a significant effect on the course of the war and the Russian economy in the long run.

Priority setting in the German healthcare system: results from a discrete choice experiment.

Worldwide, social healthcare systems must face the challenges of a growing scarcity of resources and of its inevitable distributional effects. Explicit criteria are needed to define the boundaries of public reimbursement decisions. As Germany stands at the beginning of such a discussion, more formalised priority setting procedures seem in order.

Willingness of Participation in an Application-Based Digital Data Collection among Different Social Groups and Smartphone User Clusters.

The main question of this paper is what factors influence willingness to participate in a smartphone-application-based data collection where participants both fill out a questionnaire and let the app collect data on their smartphone usage. Passive digital data collection is becoming more common, but it is still a new form of data collection. Due to the novelty factor, it is important to investigate how willingness to participate in such studies is influenced by both socio-economic variables and smartphone usage behaviour.

External validation of the GRACE risk score in patients with myocardial infarction in Hungary.

Background: Literature confirms that the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score provides a better risk evaluation than clinical judgment in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We aimed to externally validate the GRACE risk score in unselected patients with myocardial infarction in Hungary.

Methods: Data from the comprehensive Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry (HUMIR), a national registry that collects data on consecutive acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients, were used.

Investment Recommender System Model Based on the Potential Investors' Key Decision Factors.

In this research, we propose an automatic recommender system for providing investment-type suggestions offered to investors. This system is based on a new intelligent approach using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) that works with four potential investors' key decision factors (KDFs), which are system value, environmental awareness factors, the expectation of high return, and expectation of low return. The proposed system provides a new model for investment recommender systems (IRSs), which is based on the data of KDFs, and the data related to the type of investment.

Examining the convergence of dominant themes related to social entrepreneurship, NGOs and globalization-A systematic literature review.

Social entrepreneurship (SE) is an all-encompassing concept in comparison to a typical non-government organization (NGO). It is a topic that has captured the interest of academics investigating nonprofit, charitable, and nongovernmental organizations. Despite the interest, few studies have examined the overlap and convergence of entrepreneurship and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in congruence with the new phase of globalization.

How job crafting is related to the individual readiness to organizational change.

This article aims to examine the relationship between job crafting activities and employees' readiness to change. Confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted on a representative sample of 500 employees. Sampling was carried out in a European country in a period strongly affected by COVID-19 to isolate the five dimensions of job crafting and their separate effects on employees' readiness to change.

Do budget constraints limit access to health care? Evidence from PCI treatments in Hungary.

Under Hungary's single payer health care system, hospitals face an annual budget cap on most of their diagnoses-related group based reimbursements. In July 2012, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatments of acute myocardial infarction were exempted from that hospital level budget cap. We use countrywide individual-level patient data from 2009 to 2015 to map the effect of such a quasi-experimental change in monetary incentives on health provider decisions and health outcomes.

Health utilities and willingness to pay in adult patients with coeliac disease in Hungary.

Background: Coeliac disease (CD) is a life-long food-related disorder with a global prevalence of approximately 1%. Patients with CD often experience reduced health-related quality of life that could improve with a strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD).

Objectives: To obtain visual analogue scale (VAS), time trade-off (TTO) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) values amongst patients with CD.
