Different Levels

The main idea of the presented work is the assumption that innovative behavior is largely predetermined by the synthesis of values and motives, the relationship of which has not been sufficiently studied. The article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the value-motivational characteristics of managers with different levels of expression of innovativeness. On the basis of the theoretical study, the authors of the article formulated a hypothesis about the presence of significant differences in value-motivational characteristics among managers with different levels of innovativeness. The hypothesis determined the goal of the empirical study, which was to establish links between value-motivational characteristics and the specificity of the severity of innovativeness among middle managers working in manufacturing companies. The study involved 83 respondents from 25 to 50 years old, working in manufacturing companies in the Moscow region. The survey was carried out using the following methods: (1) methodology "Diagnostics of the real structure of personal value orientations" by S.S. Bubnova; (2) questionnaire "Diagnostics of the motivational structure of personality" by V.E. Milman; (3) "Scale of self-assessment of innovative personality traits" (N.M. Lebedeva, A.N. Tatarko). For statistical verification of the results, the Kruskal-Wallis H-test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used. The empirical results obtained made it possible to identify managers with different levels of self-assessment of innovativeness among the respondents and to obtain in each of the groups specific data on the manifestation of value-motivational characteristics of behavior and activity. At the end of the article, the authors formulated recommendations to enhance the professional activity of managers with different levels of self-assessment of innovativeness. In particular, it is important to develop training programs that correct the value-motivational sphere of the individual, taking into account the synthesis of those values and motives of activity that are characteristic of groups with high, medium and low self-esteem of innovativeness.

Abstract The supplementary old-age pension system in Poland consists of group and individual plans. This research covers the latter, namely the individual retirement accounts and individual retirement security accounts that were introduced in 2004 and 2012 respectively. The main aim of the paper is to conduct a multidimensional comparative analysis of bank retirement products including the linguistic complexity of documents creating the retirement contracts offered to individuals by banks, and the costliness and profitability of such products in the period 2012-2019. Moreover, it identifies the dependencies between the linguistic and economic traits of retirement contracts offered by banks. The correlation analysis conducted using the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient showed that the more readable a document of a bank contract is, the higher the interest rate is and the higher the cancellation fees. The results of the study are relevant for both financial institutions and public bodies as they show the key characteristics that may influence the demand for individual retirement products in Poland and may serve as either a stimulator or a barrier in the development of supplementary old-age pension provision.

ABSTRACTIn 1900, Ernst Overton found that the entry of anilin dyes through the cell membranes of living cells depended on the lipophilicity of the dyes. The brain is surrounded by barriers consisting of lipid layers that possess several inward and outward active transport systems. In the absence of meningeal inflammation, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration of anti-infectives in humans estimated by the ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) in CSF (AUCCSF) to that in serum (AUCCSF/AUCS) correlated positively with the lipid-water partition coefficient at pH 7.0 (logD) (Spearman's rank correlation coefficientrS= 0.40;P= 0.01) and negatively with the molecular mass (MM) (rS= −0.33;P= 0.04). The ratio of AUCCSFto the AUC of the fraction in serum that was not bound (AUCCSF/AUCS,free) strongly correlated with logD(rS= 0.67;P< 0.0001). In the presence of meningeal inflammation, AUCCSF/AUCSalso correlated positively with logD(rS= 0.46;P= 0.002) and negatively with the MM (rS= −0.37;P= 0.01). The correlation of AUCCSF/AUCS,freewith logD(rS= 0.66;P< 0.0001) was as strong as in the absence of meningeal inflammation. Despite these clear correlations, Overton's rule was able to explain only part of the differences in CSF penetration of the individual compounds. The site of CSF withdrawal (lumbar versus ventricular CSF), age of the patients, underlying diseases, active transport, and alterations in the pharmacokinetics by comedications also appeared to strongly influence the CSF penetration of the drugs studied.

Abstract. The research problem lies in the need to study the contradiction between the high values of life-meaning orientations and the reflexivity of employees of the internal affairs bodies. Purpose of the article: to investigate the indicated contradiction and reveal the peculiarities of the subjectivity of the personality of employees. The analysis and interpretation of the characteristics of the personal development of employees in lifelong education was carried out by the method of clustering the sample using the values of the tests "Life-meaning orientations" D. Krambo, L. Makholik, adaptation - D.А. Leontiev, reflexivity (A.V. Karpov), as well as the subjectivity of a professional's personality and focus on the personal development of an employee, including in lifelong education based on the author's methodology. The work used the correlation analysis of the studied features by means of nonparametric statistical criteria (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient), cluster analysis. As a result of the study, it was revealed that reflexivity, orientation towards development in professional activity and focus on continuing education in clusters are expressed unevenly. The hypothesis of a strict inverse relationship between manifestations of reflexivity and life-meaning orientations was not confirmed. At the same time, a feature of the subject-personal orientation of employees is an insufficient connection between reflexivity and high values of meaningful orientations, subordination of the personal principle to the "professional role and position" (according to the terms of V.A. Lefebvre) due to the subordination and discipline in the profession, as well as the substitution of the moral imperative with legal norms. Strategies with extremely high values of life-meaning orientations of adult employees of internal affairs bodies, which have a negative correlation with reflexivity, regardless of subjectivity or the severity of orientation towards development in the profession, are assessed by us as unfavorable for personal development.

Aim. The main aim of the research was to evaluate and compare changes in accuracy of throws performed by KS Cracovia 1906 handball players, before and after endurance effort. Basic procedures. The study was carried out among14 players who played in the second women’s handball division in the 2016/2017 season. The study took place during final preparations for the season, at the beginning of September 2016. The level of durability of the tested players was assessed using the Beep Test and the accuracy of throws, both before and after the endurance effort (after the Beep Test), was analysed, considering the training and endurance experience of the tested handball players. Basic methods of descriptive statistics, the Student’s t-test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were used in the preparation of the results, and to assess the size of differences between the individual players, normalised indicators were calculated. Results main findings. Analysis of the research results presented in the study showed that after a long-term effort of endurance nature, the accuracy of throws among the tested handball players decreased. It seems that they suffered from nervous system fatigue leading to less accurate and less precise performance of motor tasks. Conclusions. On the basis of the analysis performed in the study, the following conclusions were drawn: that the accuracy of throws among KS Cracovia 1906 handball players after a long endurance effort, significantly decreased, and the accuracy of throws, both before and after the endurance effort, does not depend on the training period. Furthermore, more time should be devoted to the formation of aerobic strength in training the tested team.

Abstract Aim. The aim of the study was to establish depth and substantive characteristics of intrapersonal conflicts of bloggers. Internal conflicts were analyzed at the levels of individual typological characteristics, self-conception, and value orientation of personality. Research methodology. The study was based on the method of content analysis and psychodiagnostic tests. 100 respondents (50 respondents who have blogs and 50 respondents who do not have blogs) were examined with Sobczyk’s individual typological questionnaire, Stephenson’s Q sorting, Budassi’s scale of self-assessment, Leary’s interpersonal diagnosis of personality, Fantalova’s value / accessibility correlation in different life spheres. Mann-Whitney test and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient were applied for statistical data processing. Research results. The results of the survey support the hypothesis regarding the special character of the intra-personal conflicts of bloggers in comparison with those people who do not have blogs and use the Internet less often. In fact, conflicts between real self and virtual self are characteristic of bloggers. Most of the tension is the result of contradiction of ideas about their personal social and communicative competence and the opposition of coping strategies “acceptance of struggle – avoidance of struggle”. Conclusions. There are different views on how the Internet influences psychological wellbeing. Social networks allow bloggers to present themselves in a certain desired light, to create some image, to stress their unique features, to attract attention to those character properties which are not manifested in real life as desired.

Background. De qi comprises varied senses depending on the individual. No single method can yet fully measure the multiple dimensions of de qi adequately. Objective. We examined the advantages of implementing multiple questionnaires for de qi measurement. Methods. Fourteen participants completed a preacupuncture questionnaire regarding their perception toward acupuncture treatment. After acupuncture stimulation at the HT7 point, de qi sensations were measured by MASS and ASQ. In groups with different levels of expectation, we compared the subtotal scores of each phase in the ASQ, as well as the VAS de qi intensity and MASS index using Kruskal-Wallis test. For the structural comparison of questionnaires, we first performed Spearman’s rank correlation test between the scores of individual descriptors in MASS and ASQ. The subtotal scores of each phase in ASQ was compared with VAS de qi intensity and MASS index. Results. The subtotal score of the manipulation phase in ASQ strongly correlated with the VAS score of de qi intensity (Spearman’s ρ=0.654, p=0.011) and MASS index (Spearman’s ρ=0.488, p=0.076). MASS and ASQ showed strong correlations in certain analogous descriptors. Unpleasant perceptions toward acupuncture treatment did not significantly correlate with overall de qi intensity. Conclusions. De qi sensations in acupuncture treatment have multidimensional aspects. Intensity of stimulation, ASQ, and MASS index assess somewhat restricted aspects of de qi. Those questionnaires have exclusive differences of sets in spite of their strong intersections. Use of multiple questionnaires may enable a more comprehensive understanding of de qi properties and the elicitation of relevant construction in de qi features of acupuncture.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is mainly affected by genetic and environmental factors; however, the correlation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with T2DM remains largely unknown. Methods Microarray analysis was performed to identify the differentially expressed lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in patients with T2DM and healthy controls, and the expression of two candidate lncRNAs (lnc-HIST1H2AG-6 and lnc-AIM1-3) were further validated using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to measure the degree of association between the two candidate lncRNAs and differentially expressed mRNAs. Furthermore, the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway and GO (Gene Ontology) enrichment analysis were used to reveal the biological functions of the two candidate lncRNAs. Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed. Results The microarray analysis revealed that there were 55 lncRNAs and 36 mRNAs differentially expressed in patients with T2DM compared with healthy controls. Notably, lnc-HIST1H2AG-6 was significantly upregulated and lnc-AIM1-3 was significantly downregulated in patients with T2DM, which was validated in a large-scale qRT-PCR examination (90 controls and 100 patients with T2DM). Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient revealed that both lncRNAs were correlated with 36 differentially expressed mRNAs. Furthermore, functional enrichment (KEGG and GO) analysis demonstrated that the two lncRNA-related mRNAs might be involved in multiple biological functions, including cell programmed death, negative regulation of insulin receptor signal, and starch and sucrose metabolism. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lnc-HIST1H2AG-6 and lnc-AIM1-3 were significantly correlated with T2DM (OR = 5.791 and 0.071, respectively, both P = 0.000). Furthermore, the ROC curve showed that the expression of lnc-HIST1H2AG-6 and lnc-AIM1-3 might be used to differentiate patients with T2DM from healthy controls (area under the ROC curve = 0.664 and 0.769, respectively). Conclusion The profiles of lncRNA and mRNA were significantly changed in patients with T2DM. The expression levels of lnc-HIST1H2AG-6 and lnc-AIM1-3 genes were significantly correlated with some features of T2DM, which may be used to distinguish patients with T2DM from healthy controls and may serve as potential novel biomarkers for diagnosis in the future.
