Intellectual humility: an old problem in a new psychological perspective
Authors: Bąk Wacław , Wójtowicz Bartosz , Kutnik Jan 
Published: October 2021

Though having been emphasised by philosophers and theologians for centuries, it is only in the last few years that the concept of intellectual humility has been explicitly defined and studied by empirical psychology. However, it has been long enough to recognise the prominent role that being intellectually humble plays for humane functioning, both at an intra- and inter-individual level. Having started with a broader philosophical and historical context, the present paper discusses the psychological conceptualisations of intellectual humility. Then the recent empirical studies are reviewed, including four strands of research referring to personality traits, cognitive functioning, social relations and religiosity. After presenting selected results, the prospects of psychological research on intellectual humility are discussed, including the limitations and challenges of measurement techniques as well as possible directions for future studies.
Short Polish version of the Highly Sensitive Person
Scale – exploring its multidimensional structure
in a sample of emerging adults
Authors: Baryła-Matejczuk Monika , Poleszak Wiesław , Porzak Robert 
Published: October 2021

IntroductionSensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a heritable trait and persons who are characterized by a high level of it are termed highly sensitive. The first and the most frequently used scale developed to measure high sensitivity is the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), which has become increasingly popular and has been adapted to many languages in recent years. The present article forms a part of the publications which deal with the subject of tool adaptation and the exploration of their structure.Material and methodsThis article presents the results of research conducted on a Polish sample of emerging adults consisting of 470 persons. The aim of this study is to further analyse the psychometric properties of the HSPS, as well as to provide initial evidence for the properties of the scale on a Polish sample. The analyses conducted to date have been extended and the item response theory (IRT) model has been included. Also, a proposal for a shortened scale is presented.ResultsThe results show that the Polish version of the HSPS constitutes a reliable method whose validity is proven by correlations with the Pavlovian Temperament Survey as well as being a reliable measure of the SPS construct.ConclusionsThe results obtained support the multi-factor structure of the scale. There is a need for further analysis of the cultural aspect in sensitivity studies as well as for exploring gender differences.
Satisfaction with job and life and remote work
in the COVID-19 pandemic: the role of perceived
stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem

Published: October 2021

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to assess the relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of job and life satisfaction, as well as the assumed, intermediary role of the level of perceived stress and such resources as self-efficacy and self-esteem.Material and methodsThe study, implemented with the use of an internet application, included 283 employees. Data were gathered using a job and life satisfaction scale, the Short Scale for Measuring General Self-Efficacy Beliefs, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale PSS-4 and a demographic information form.ResultsThe results showed the existence of a relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and job and life satisfaction, and that the level of perceived stress, self-efficiency and self-esteem plays an intermediary role in this relationship. Remote working is associated with life and job satisfaction, and this relationship is mediated by levels of experienced stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem.ConclusionsFindings indicate that remote working is associated with higher levels of job and work satisfaction. This relationship is mediated by levels of perceived stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem.
Volunteerism in the last year as a moderator
between empathy and altruistic social value
orientation: an exploratory study
Authors: Nowakowska Iwona 
Published: October 2021

IntroductionVolunteerism is a sustained prosocial activity, and young adults are one of the most important targets for organizations recruiting volunteers. Empathy and altruistic social value orientation measured by a decomposed game are dispositional traits that might foster engagement in volunteerism.Material and methodsUsing a self-report online-based questionnaire study on two groups of young adults (aged 18-35, N = 224 non-volunteers and N = 178 volunteers in the last year) the relationship between empathy and altruistic social value orientation in both of these groups was explored.ResultsThe results showed that volunteers scored significantly higher on empathy and altruistic social value orientation than non-volunteers. In non-volunteers, empathy is positively linked to altruistic social value orientation, whereas for volunteers the relationship is inversed.ConclusionsThe results provide evidence that volunteers, when high on empathy, might not necessarily be ready to share financial resources with others, as operationalized by a decomposed game.
The model of psychological safety of a soldier’s personality
Authors: Prykhodko Ihor 
Published: October 2021

IntroductionFrom 2014 to the present, Ukrainian military personnel have been fighting in Eastern Ukraine against illegal armed formations of separatists. The resulting combat stress negatively affects servicemen’s mental health status. This study aimed to examine the factor structure of a scale to assess the psychological safety of a soldier’s personality (PSSP), taking into account changes in the conditions of military service to improve the professional and psychological training of military personnel.Material and methodsThe study involved 118 officers of the National Guard of Ukraine. The semantic differential method, expert judgment, and exploratory factor analysis were used to determine the factor structure of the PSSP.ResultsThe PSSP model to maintain combat readiness in daily activities includes four components: “Moral and communicative”, “Motivational and volitional”, “Value and meaning of life” and “Inner comfort”. For activities in extreme conditions (during combat deployment), the personality potential of four structural components is used: “Moral and volitional regulation”, “Coping strategies”, “Value and meaning of life” and “Post-traumatic growth/regression”.ConclusionsThe PSSP model consists of four components that have different content depending on the conditions for performance of professional tasks by military personnel. It is advisable to use the obtained results of the content of the PSSP model in the development of professional and psychological training programs for the purposeful formation of the resilience of military personnel, taking into account the conditions of their activities.

Published: October 2021

Objective. The aim of this work was to review the main results of genomic studies of microorganisms and their communities performed on the base of the Research Laboratory of Gomel State Medical University.Materials and methods. Genomic, transcriptomic and metagenomic analysis of the microorganisms of the stomach and respiratory tract.Results. The capabilities of modern next-generation sequencing platforms have been analyzed, and the authors` own results of the use of genomic, transcriptomic and metagenomic analysis of the microbiota in patients with various gastric and respiratory pathologies have been described.Conclusion. The analysis of the obtained data has revealed peculiarities of the structure of the microbial communities of the stomach of the patients infected with H. pylori with different gastric pathology: the proportion participation of H. pylori in the metagenome of the samples with different forms of gastric cancer did not exceed 25 %, of gastritis — 6 %, of peptic ulcer — 1 %. At the same time, the minimal amount of H. pylori in all the cases could reach 0.1 %. A signifcant degree of CagA and CagY loci variability of H. pylori was detected. Streptoccocus genus bacteria dominated (36 %) in the bacterial microbiome of a patient diagnosed with the coronavirus disease, and in the viral microbiome, SARS-CoV-2 constituted 59 % of the total number of viruses in the material. The analysis of 13 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae with multiple and extreme resistance to antibiotics has found that the studied strains belong to fve MLST-types, three of which are classifed as high epidemic risk groups.

Published: September 2021

This study reports an organic salt prepared from an antibacterial drug, levofloxacin and antioxidant γ-resorcylic acid. A simple preparation method leads to a crystal with disordered structure. The idea is to prepare an organic salt comprising of pharmaceutically acceptable acidic and basic components. The salt is characterised by IR, solid state NMR, and single crystal XRD. Crystal data for C25H26N3O8F: triclinic, space group P-1 (no. 2), a = 7.0037(8) Å, b = 12.764(3) Å, c = 13.909(3) Å, α = 104.821(4)°, β = 92.039(4)°, γ = 95.334(4)°, V = 1194.6(4) Å3, Z = 2, T = 296(2) K, μ(MoKα) = 0.113 mm-1, Dcalc = 1.433 g/cm3, 16879 reflections measured (5.048° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 54.186°), 5139 unique (Rint = 0.0663, Rsigma = 0.0975) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.1121 (I>2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.2505 (all data). SC-XRD analysis shows that the crystal packing is stabilized by strong H-bonding of type N-H···O and comparatively weak interactions of type C-H···O, C-H···π and off-set π···π stacking.
INTERNAL AUDIT AND QUALITY OF FINANCIAL REPORTING IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: THE CASE OF UNIVERSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
Authors: Abdulai Iddrisu , Salakpi Andrew , Nassè Dr. Théophile Bindeouè 
Published: September 2021

Many corporate failures have occurred over the years as a result of poor financial reporting practices that have eluded investors and other consumers of financial data. The research used the University for Development Studies (UDS) as a case study. The study focused on three main goals: identifying emerging determinants of quality financial reporting, examining the efficacy and adequacy of UDS's internal control structure, and determining how much Internal Audit contributes to quality financial reporting. The research used a descriptive survey template and a sample size of 70 people who were chosen using purposive and stratified sampling techniques. To achieve objectives one and two, the analysis used binary regression, while to achieve objective three, the Best (2005) index was updated and used. Financial reporting accuracy, a computerized accounting system, and personnel competence were found to be determinants of quality financial reporting in the study. It was discovered that UDS' internal control system is ineffective since two of the five main components that make up an efficient internal control system, namely control environment and information and communication, are not properly implemented. The study found that UDS' internal audit reflects an average level of fraud prevention in terms of the robustness of auditing processes and fraud prevention indicators, with the remaining indicators indicating a high level of fraud prevention. Overall, UDS' internal auditing reveals a high degree of prevention. The University for Development Studies (UDS) should analyze, define, and enforce control setting, information, and communication components of the internal control system that are appropriate for their work processes, as well as enhance the existing components, according to the report.

A climatology of sub-seasonal temporal clustering of extreme precipitation in Switzerland and its links to extreme discharge
Authors: Tuel Alexandre , Martius Olivia 
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The successive occurrence of extreme precipitation events on sub-seasonal timescales can lead to large precipitation accumulations and extreme river discharge. In this study, we analyze the sub-seasonal clustering of precipitation extremes in Switzerland and its link to the occurrence and duration of extreme river discharge. We take a statistical approach based on Ripley's K function to characterize the significance of the clustering for each season separately. Temporal clustering of precipitation extremes exhibits a distinct spatiotemporal pattern. It occurs primarily on the northern side of the Alps in winter and on their southern side in fall. Cluster periods notably account for 10 %–16 % of seasonal precipitation in these two regions. The occurrence of a cluster of precipitation extremes generally increases the likelihood and duration of high-discharge events compared to non-clustered precipitation extremes, particularly at low elevations. It is less true in winter, when the magnitude of precipitation extremes is generally lower and much of the precipitation falls as snow. In fall, however, temporal clusters associated with large precipitation accumulations over the southern Alps are found to be almost systematically followed by extreme discharge.
Nonfiction now: a (non)introduction
Authors: Carlin David , Rendle-Short Francesca 
Published: October 2021

This essay seeks to explore the tensions in the paradoxical location of ‘non-fiction’ — or the de-hyphenated ‘nonfiction’, as we prefer — as a literary/artistic category, one that is built upon a negation. The opposition set up in the term by the operation of the ‘non’ upon the ‘fiction’ suggests a steadfast binary. However the friction between the two sides of this binary, and the inherent resistance embodied in the close proximity and conjoining of the two parts, accounts for much of the energy and interest in contemporary nonfiction writing. Here we bring together etymologies and theoretical topographies to problematize the intriguing situation of ‘nonfiction now’.
Essaying the picture
Authors: Carlin David 
Published: October 2021

This work attempts to self-reflexively apply the method of ‘childlike freedom’ (Adorno 1984: 152) inherent in the post-Montaigne tradition of the essay, to an exploration of the vicissitudes of ‘picturing’. Picturing, particularly since the advent of photographic technologies, is often associated with apparently verifiable representations of the material world, and yet there has long been a fascination with the interplay between picturing and the imagination suggested by the very word image. This essay braids memoirist scenes and images from contemporary popular culture with vignettes from the early Spiritualist tendencies within the history of photography. It traces the erotics and the mysteries to be found in the overlapping margins between vision, memory and fantasy when essaying the picture.
The magistrate and Mr Moore: story-telling, narrative forensics and a judge’s experience of sentencing
Authors: Rossmanith Kate 
Published: October 2021

This article tells the story of ‘The magistrate and Mr Moore’, a true account of an Australian magistrate’s experience of sentencing a man for drink driving, and then considers the significance of this story to the fields of socio-legal studies and narrative inquiry. Firstly, it explores how an ethnographic research approach – a sort of immersion journalism – is a productive methodology to access the under-researched area of judges’ experiences of sentencing people. Secondly, based on interviews with judges and magistrates in the criminal justice system in New South Wales, as well as, in some cases, observations of their working lives, the article explores the ways in which the judicial act of sentencing in part involves a curious (and vexed) approach to legal narrative.
The kibitzing archive
Authors: Doyle Peter 
Published: October 2021

This essay investigates how nonfiction authors use archives. Whereas scholarly historians adhere to broadly agreed-upon research procedures, and generally work within the context of extant debates and existing, or new, research questions, writers (as well as artists and museum curators) more likely enter archives relatively ‘agenda-free’. This essay draws on the author’s experiences working with the Forensic Photography Archive (Justice and Police Museum, Sydney), and the personal papers of journalist-musician Merv Acheson and policeman Brian K. Doyle. It charts the ‘value-adding’ process whereby the writer-researcher examines archive material at sufficient depth, and for sufficient time, to order raw archival material into groupings and sequences. These, with the necessary background research, might become finished, published narratives. Working with two smaller archives, however, the author finds that the processes of surveying, reflecting and background-researching are somewhat thwarted by the residual ‘authorial’ presences of the original compilers. The Acheson and the Doyle archives, although seemingly random collections, prove to be the outcome of careful selection. Both compilers were adept narrators, and their personal papers, rather than being raw material, might be considered ‘voiced’ and, in a sense, already authored.
On nonfiction and consequence
Authors: Borich Barrie Jean 
Published: October 2021

This essay examines contemporary creative nonfiction literature’s relationship to actuality, arguing that the actual is as much character as subject in nonfiction literature, a referent necessary to complete the meaning of the work. I define literary nonfiction as a shadowy interpretive realm reliant on the symbiotic relationship between actuality and text. This definition allows room for the composition of emotional truths but also raises questions about the cultural meanings ascribed to, and cultural problems arising from, the narration of crisis memoirs and the public interpretation of the literature of witness. I draw on the thinking of Roland Barthes, John D’Agata, Philip Gerard, Vivian Gornick, Patricia Hampl, Pam Houston, David Lazar, Alyce Miller, David Shields and Susan Sontag, and examine controversies surrounding the work of James Frey and Benjamin Wilkomerski.
Starving, bingeing and writing: reading and writing memoirs of eating disorder
Authors: Brien Donna Lee 
Published: October 2021

Memoirs of eating disorders have attracted considerable popular, critical and scholarly attention as a sub-genre of life writing. These memoirs have also been noted by, and incorporated into, the medical and psychological discourse on eating disorder. Rarely, if ever, however, have these memoirs been read, categorised or discussed as a sub- genre of food writing. In so doing, this article proposes that while many personal memoirs of disordered eating concentrate both on gastronomic/culinary and personal matters (like the food memoir), many also narrate a concern with the act of writing, the author’s motivation towards producing this unique group of texts, and their intended consumers. Surveying the eating disorder memoir in this way, and investigating its history, themes, tropes and prominent metaphors, contributes to our understanding of both memoir and food writing as nonfiction genres.

Background: Pregnancy anemia is global health problem characterized as decrease in the total red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood during pregnancy. It is more prevalent among developing countries and may lead to maternal and fetal morbidity /mortality and low birth weight. Study aimed to assess dietary and socioeconomic factors associated with pregnancy anemia and its management.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study design was adapted using convenience sampling technique, involving 200 pregnant anemic women, during the period June-2018 to August- 2018 in different private and public sector hospitals of Punjab Pakistan. Data was collected through structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 20.
Results showed that anemia was more prevalent (47.5%) among women aged 25-30 years. Significant associations were found between gestational period and respondent’ age (p=.021) & educational level (p= .000), between hemoglobin level of patient and educational level (p = .000) & location (p = .05), between tea/coffee consumption and educational level (p= .000) & location (p= .022), between protein diet consumption and age (p= .001), educational level (p= .000) & location (p= .000), between vegetables & fruits consumption and educational level (p= .003) and between treatment options& age (p=.015), education level (p=.000), and location (p=.000).
Conclusion: The study concluded that pregnant women of age group 25-30years were at high risk of anemia. It is more prevalent in uneducated women and those living in rural areas. Healthy and fresh balanced diet rich in iron is recommended for health and good growth of developing baby.
