  The paper explores the differences between the way women and men communicate. The author states that the communication skills of the two genders are different: women are better than men at performing various verbal tasks. The article reveals the possible causes of this difference in skills. Gender can define the communication style. We can also observe a difference in speech. There is an ever increasing demand for workers with excellent communication skills in the world of work. Such workplaces prefer to employ women rather than men. The better skills of women manifest themselves not only in mother tongue skills, but also in the acquisition of foreign languages. The author advises boys to communicate more emphatically and girls to be more assertive.

  The study aimed to explore and compare preferences for doctor-patient communication and communication within healthcare teams in the Visegrad countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary) through a general literature review. While each of these countries has independent studies on these topics, a comparative analysis using a single validated questionnaire was conducted by Bányai et al. (2021). Their research showed that factors like gender, age, education, and poor health status influence how patients perceive the quality of communication with doctors in all four countries. The study also found that communication within healthcare teams faces challenges due to personal, referral, and system-related barriers. Improving communication skills is crucial in preventing burnout and depersonalization among healthcare workers, and a well-designed communication training process can foster positive attitudes, particularly among specialist nurses. Independent researches from the four countries shows that patients value clear, accurate information about their illness, treatment options, and the effectiveness of care. Patient satisfaction was higher when they received good treatment along with straightforward information about their condition and clear explanations for their relatives. However, the communication skills of healthcare staff were seen as a weakness, and such skills were often not part of their training. To create a more patient-centered healthcare system, effective human resources programs need to be developed, and further research in health communication is necessary. The study suggests using the PPOS (Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale) questionnaire to assess and compare healthcare professionals' attitudes towards communication across different levels of healthcare in these countries.

  Nowadays, the protection of the local economy and society is strongly supported not only at the level of nations, but also at the global level. Our study was based on the CETSCALE model of Shimp and Sharma (1987), based on Sumner's (1906) concept of ethnocentrism. The consumer questionnaire survey was conducted in the fall of 2021 as part of an omnibus research on a representative sample (N=1000). The sample reflects the composition of the basic population in terms of gender, age, settlement type and regions. In the course of the research, in addition to descriptive statistical methods, factor and cluster analysis were performed in order to reveal the consumer segments formed along the lines of domestic ethnocentric values. Since in 2014 we already analyzed this set of statements in the framework of a representative large-scale study, we also had the opportunity to compare it with the results of seven years earlier. According to our expectations, the 2020 epidemic increased the commitment to Hungarian products. However, our preliminary assumption was not confirmed, during the analyzes it was revealed that there was no significant change compared to the previous state. Along the lines of the CETSCALE statements, it was possible to identify two factors and with their help to separate three segments, which were named Nationalist, Patriotic and Cosmopolitan based on their alignment with the value groups. It is in the fundamental interest of the actors of the domestic economy that the patriotic behavior is strengthened in the future, for which a strategy must be developed.
