“…These differences are not consistent with common binary notions of male and female bodies. This can be a complex topic for society that raises many questions and much discussion [ 1 – 3 ]. A lack of understanding about intersex variations has caused problems, especially in areas where the binary construct of sex (i.e., male and female) is obvious.…”

Background Within the topic of intersex athletes in elite sports, science has become a decisive factor in decision- and policy-making. However, in the academic literature approaches to this topic vary. An overview of these approaches is proposed to provide better insight into relevant aspects and underlying values and may serve as a starting point on the path toward a solid solution of the question of categorization of intersex athletes in elite sporting competition. Objective This systematic review aims to discover how the topic of intersex elite athletes is positioned in the academic literature from January 2000 to July 2022 from a neutral perspective. Methods A comprehensive search in eleven databases using the search terms [intersex* and sport*] yielded 87 articles. A qualitative content analysis was conducted to find all authors’ statements including perspectives on intersex athletes and proposals for solutions. Underlying values were extracted and connected to each other during axial coding. Results The results provide an overview of the sometimes-contradictory perspectives toward intersex elite athletes and proposals for solutions. Three core values were distilled: social justice for intersex elite athletes, competition fairness, and evidence-based practice. The authors’ statements disclose an interaction/conflict between social justice and competition fairness. Conclusions The results raise an important discussion on the role of science within the topic of intersex elite athletes. A multidisciplinary approach including scientists and other experts is suggested to find an appropriate solution. Additionally, more awareness on intersex variations is needed for a better overall understanding and to ensure a respectful approach for everyone involved.

The university, as an educational center, had great cultural significance in European cities since the Middle Ages. These institutions were not just centers of knowledge, they also played a crucial role in attracting resources, both intellectual and economic, to the city. The article outlines the types of student initiatives implemented in the university space. It is emphasized that higher education institutions are centers where interaction between different participants – students, teachers, and administration – is possible in an informal way. Nowadays university is a space in which integration of students in an informal atmosphere takes place through student initiatives. As an integral part of campus life, they also contribute to the development of creativity, leadership, and civic engagement. The purpose of the study is to analyze the role and importance of student initiatives as a component of university culture. Results: Participation in various associations allows students to communicate with people who have similar interests and hobbies. Inclusion in the university culture helps bridge the gap between students from different faculties or departments by facilitating communication and potential cooperation. Any project can prove to its participants that social change is achievable and can be initiated by anyone, even a freshman. The main thing is to have a clear idea of your project's goals, understand the requirements for its implementation, and enlist the necessary support from fellow students, teachers, and university management. It has been found that the result of student initiatives is participation in various creative associations, such as clubs, orchestras, choirs, or dance groups. Scientific and sports associations are also possible. Quite often it leads to organizing various volunteer projects aimed at meeting the urgent needs of society. A wide range of initiatives that students can organize relate to environmental, political, inclusion, or economic hackathons. In recent years, the practice of forming student initiatives for improving the quality of higher education has also spread. Student initiatives are a source of enriching the communicative experience between participants in the educational process and the transformation of university culture and society in general.
