Numerous studies have established that close connections to and participation in social groups and communities provide support, increase a sense of belonging and access to information that can be key for physical and mental health. Compared with numerous findings on social engagement and health in Western world, empirical evidence in the research area from non-Western settings is limited. Using a nationwide representative sample of older adults in China, this study continues efforts along this line by studying how social contact influence mental and physical health among Chinese older adults. The findings suggest that increasing social contact has a positive relationship with physical and mental health among Chinese elders.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131589561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since a wide range of new words appears in the process of new technologies development, it is essential to study and analyze the way they were formed. Examining negative prefixes in computer register in English, we have found five of them: de, dis-, in-, non-, un. In terms of the Serbian equivalents the research has shown that they are the following: de-, dis-, iz-, ne-, po-, pre-, raz-. It has been descovered that the prefixes deand dis(in one of the examples) are translated into Serbian by their international analogues. In the case of the inand nonprefixes, the research shows that it has a direct equivalent and it is the prefix ne-. Findings also show that he English prefix unhas more than one equivalent in Serbian, surprisingly, there are four of them: ne-, po-, izand raz-. The analysis implies etymology (focus on origin), semantics (including meaning) and morphology (including derivational patterns of one-word terms).","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128276722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, immorality is not a possible life process in the World. In that case, a person is part of an active learning and teaching process throughout this finite life. We can say that early childhood is the period when the most basic building blocks of learning are formed. It is a process that starts from the first years of development, from the moment we were born and continues until the school ages when we received our first education. The most basic definition of this period is that the child’s mind is constantly recording in a video/voice recorder format. It is period that the most basic physical and mental developments and the basic habits that are held until the moment of death. The debate on whether internet-based technologies, which entered human life with the new millennium, should be used in the early childhood period has been on the agenda for many years. Many experts suggest that child should be kept away from technological devices as mush as possible in early childhood. In order to create an effective learning process, transferring the right contents to the child as much as possible and the possible negative effects of digital device screens on the brain are known by everyone. However, 2020 has been the year of the most important pandemic outbreak of the new century. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some changes have been experienced in early childhood education in every area. Although attemps are made to keep them away, mobile screens and digital time, which children are actively exposed to, sometimes for educational purposes and sometimes for spending time, have increased during the pandemic period. The negative effects (curfews, prolonged staying at home, deprivation of social space etc) of the pandemic on human life have increased the rate of chilren’s participation in digital environments. In this study, the reasons and consequences of children’s exposure to digital platforms during the pandemic process are described descriptively.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126424277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical Findings of a Hungarian Analysis","authors":"Veronika Bocsi","doi":"10.33422/4th.icrhs.2021.05.20","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33422/4th.icrhs.2021.05.20","url":null,"abstract":"There is a debate in the field of social sciences about the role of intellectuals. More possible directions can be distinguished: professional, intelligentsia and public intellectual. These types have got their own historical, geographical and political backgrounds but if we regard universities as places in which intellectuals are trained we have to highlight the importance of higher education at the same time. Despite the wide theoretical background empirical findings have narrowly been known. In this paper quantitative method was used and we try to analyze what university students think about the role components of intellectuals. Our database came from 2017 from a nationwide Hungarian student analysis (N=1502). We created our own made question-block with 18 items and undergraduates had to scale these items which belong to the role components of intellectuals. We can state that students have got a mixed pattern in the analyzed field. The components of professional role are strong – and this fits into the national educational policies – but other elements are significant too. The features of classical intellectual habitus are strong as well (general knowledge, white collar work etc.), but the components of public intellectuals and macro-level aims have less importance.","PeriodicalId":170842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 4th International Conference on Research in Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128353505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
