Abstract Conjugality refers to the shared experience between partners characterized by an enduring bond. It is related to a high degree of intimacy, affective involvement, and different interpersonal strategies, and it is seen by partners as their most significant relationship. Such intensity makes couple interaction different from any other type of relationship. The objective of this study was to verify how interpersonal attitude of the participants toward their spouses are associated with their partners and the independent interviewer’s perception of their attitudes. The results showed that the participants had a perception of themselves that was, in general, congruent with their partners’ and the interviewer’s perception. However, the spouses agreed more about their relationship roles (dominant or submissive) and disagreed on the dedicated affection (friendly or hostile) between them. In contrast, the interviewer overestimated the subjects’ attempts to control but confirmed the presence of statements of affection. The results obtained also provided a realistic portrait of marital interactions, increasing the application spectrum of the Checklist de Relações Interpessoais (Check list of Interpersonal Transactions).

Intellectual capital (IC) is about the greatest competitive weapon for an organizational development. It becomes the most significant factor in the organization’s economic life. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between intellectual capital (IC) and corporate performance of the banking industry. This study used econometric models against five years of panel data from 2012 to 2016 of commercial banks in Bangladesh. The empirical study revealed a positive and significant relationship between value added intellectual capital (VAIC) and banks’ performances. Further, only capital employed efficiency (CEE) as a component of VAIC has a significant relationship with banks’ performance. In addition, structural capital efficiency (SCE) has a very high degree of moderating power on CEE which can be transformed into corporate performance. This study enriches the existing literature of IC and corporate performance and it may be beneficial for the sustainable economic performances of banking industry of Bangladesh.

This study aimed to determine the degree of perceived church connectedness and the level of psychological well-being of the Catholic faithful in the Vicariate of Bago, Diocese of Bacolod as a whole and according to the demographics.  A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to know the degree of church connectedness and its relationship to the level of psychological well-being of the respondents. The investigation used a researcher-made Church Connectedness Scale and the Flourishing Scale (FS). Results revealed a somewhat high degree of church connectedness and a high level of psychological well- being among respondents. Church connectedness is significantly correlated with age and mass attendance while psychological well-being is associated with organization and ministry affiliation. The weak significant relationship between church connectedness and psychological well-being has implications on the development of the said variables among the Catholic faithful.

Although numerous studies have considered the topological characteristics and the impact of disruptions in subway systems, their results have not been verified by empirical data. To address this limitation, we used a data set containing 392 detailed records of disruptions to subway services in Beijing from 2011 to 2017. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient analysis results indicate that the delay duration exhibits no significant relationship with the topological characteristics, whereas the reverse is true for the relationship between the number of affected trains and the topological characteristics. The results also demonstrate that subway network expansion will not result in a paradox between convenience and vulnerability from an actual data perspective. Moreover, contrary to previous research results, no significant relationship was found to exist between service interruption impact and the transit and key bridge stations. However, a high degree of clustering, characterized by redundant tracks between neighbours, tends to provide protection against service disruption for stations. In terms of the spatial variation, the influence of the disruption is greater when the station is further from the centre of the line. These results can support sustainable design in subway network planning.

The Polish TRES-DEP study assesses a number of demographic, clinical and psychometric features comparing patients with treatment-resistant and treatment non-resistant depression. The study included 1083 patients with single or recurrent depressive episode among which 570 met the criteria for treatment-resistant depression, on account of lack of significant improvement following at least two adequate courses of antidepressant treatment. All 1083 patients were assessed by means of the Polish version of Hypomania Check List 32 Scale. The Cronbach's alpha for entire scale was 0.94 which indicates high degree of consistency. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in five factors, of which the biggest (mostly overactivity and elation) containing items1-6, 7-19, 21, 23 and 27 had eigenvalue 10.95 and accounted for 34.2% and the second (irritability), items 25-26, with eigenvalue 2.92, accounted for 9.1% of total variation. Significant differences were obtained between patients with treatment-resistant and treatment non-resistant depression as to the scores of HCL-32. The mean score of HCL-32 was significantly higher in treatment-resistant vs non-resistant depression (11.9±8.3 vs 8.8±7.7, respectively, p< 0.001). Also, the percentage of patients having positive response to 14 or more items of the scale was significantly higher in treatment-resistant than in non-resistant depression (44% vs 29%, respectively, p< 0.001). Based on the results of HCL-32 scale, it may be concluded that the features of bipolarity make the patient more resistant to antidepressant treatment.

Исследование направлено на выявление различий в представлениях студентов о совести в зависимости от степени выраженности у них психопатологической симптоматики. Предполагается, что у студентов с выраженной психопатологической симптоматикой сильнее проявится негативная установка по отношению к феномену совести , чем у студентов с минимальными психопатологическими проявлениями . Использовался Опросник выраженности психопатологической симптоматики (Simptom Check List-90-r-Revised, SCL-90-R) и авторская анкета определения социальных представлений о совести. Выборку составили 109 студентов московских ВУЗов, которые были разделены на 2 группы: респондентов с минимальными проявлениями психопатологической симптоматики и с высокой степенью ее выраженности. Гипотеза исследования : социальные представления студентов о совести имеют специфику в зависимости от интенсивности психопатологической симптоматики: у респондентов с выраженной психопатологической симптоматикой сильнее проявится негативная валентность в отношении к феномену совести, чем у респондентов с минимальными психопатологическими проявлениями. Результаты показали, что студенты первой группы статистически чаще соглашаются с негативными представлениями о совести. Тем самым, текущее эмпирическое исследование подтверждает, что психологическое здоровье взаимосвязано с нравственными установками личности и, вероятнее всего, является одним из необходимых условий нравственности человека в целом, как и наоборот, стойкие нравственные ориентиры помогают личности сохранить психическое и психологическое здоровье в сложных жизненных ситуациях. The study aims to identify differences in students' perceptions of conscience, depending on the severity of their psychopathological symptoms. It is assumed that students with severe psychopathological symptoms will show a more negative attitude towards the phenomenon of conscience than students with minimal psychopathological manifestations. The Questionnaire for the severity of psychopathological symptoms (Simptom Check List-90-r-Revised, SCL-90-R) and the author's questionnaire for determining social ideas about conscience are used. The sample consists of 109 students from Moscow universities, which are divided into 2 groups: respondents with minimal manifestations of psychopathological symptoms and respondents with a high degree of severity of psychopathological symptoms. Research hypothesis: students' social perceptions of conscience are specific depending on the intensity of psychopathological symptoms, namely: respondents with severe psychopathological symptoms will show a more negative valence in relation to the conscience phenomenon than respondents with minimal psychopathological manifestations. The results showed that students with a high degree of severity of psychopathological symptoms are statistically more likely to agree with negative ideas about conscience. Thus, we can make a general conclusion that psychological health is interconnected with the moral attitudes of the individual and, most likely, is a necessary condition for human morality, and vice versa, moral guidelines help a person maintain mental and psychological health in difficult life situations.

ABSTRACTRoost fidelity is an important aspect of mammalian biology. Studying the mechanisms underlying philopatry can help us understand a species’ energetic requirements, ecological constraints and social organisation. Temperate bat species notably exhibit a comparatively high degree of female philopatry, resulting in maternity colonies segregated at the mitochondrial level. We focus on the greater noctule, Nyctalus lasiopterus, to study this behaviour in more depth. We make use of microsatellite data for 11 markers across 84 individuals residing in Maria Luisa Park in Seville, Spain. At the time of sampling, this urban park boasted the highest number of registered bats of this species, among which three social groups were observed to segregate spatially. We studied the distribution of pairs of individuals across filial relationship categories and relatedness estimates relative to the social group of each individual. This analysis was complemented by information on roost-use frequency among a subset of genotyped bats. We found no significant relationship between roost use and genetic distance, but there was evidence of higher group-sharing with increased levels of relatedness. Mother-daughter pairs shared the same group more often than expected, as did pairs of individuals of relatedness above 0.36. We discuss the implications of these results in terms of the behavioural ecology of temperate bats and for conservation efforts aimed at preserving them.
