The objective of this research was to examine whether there is a sex difference in general cognitive ability (g) and also investigate mutual relationships between the school achievement and general intelligence. The research was conducted on the Slovak sample of 567 secondary school pupils, 279 of them were male and 288 female. The average age of the sample was 17.1 years (SD = 1.21) and their age ranged from 15 to 21 years. To measure general cognitive ability, The Vienna Matrices Test (Vonkomer, 1992), which is similar to Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices, was used. School achievement criteria were grades in Slovak language, math and foreign language (English, German). The data was analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test and correlation analysis. It can be concluded that an emerging trend in the literature of negligible sex differences on mean scores of general cognitive ability was replicated (U = 35525.5, p < 0.017, r = -0.10). The results also showed moderately strong relation between general cognitive ability and school achievement – higher general cognitive ability relate to better school achievement in Slovak language (r = -0.38**), math (r= -0.45**), and foreign language (r = -0.35**).

Cieľom výskumu bolo zistiť, či existuje medzipohlavný rozdiel vo všeobecnej kognitívnej schopnosti (g), pričom sa tiež skúmajú vzájomné vzťahy medzi školským prospechom a všeobecnou inteligenciou. Výskum bol realizovaný na súbore 567 slovenských žiakov stredných škôl, 279 mužov a 288 žien. Priemerný vek súboru bol 17,1 rokov (SD = 1,21) a vekové rozpätie bolo od 15 do 21 rokov. Pre meranie všeobecnej kognitívnej schopnosti bol použitý Viedenský matricový test (Vonkomer, 1992), ktorý je podobný Ravenovým štandardným progresívnym maticiam. Kritérium školského prospechu boli známka zo slovenského jazyka, matematiky a cudzieho jazyka (anglický a nemecký jazyk). Údaje boli analyzované aplikovaním neparametrického Mann-Whitneyho U-testu a korelačnou analýzou. Je možné konštatovať, že bol replikovaný objavujúci sa trend v literatúre o zanedbateľných medzipohlavných rozdieloch vo všeobecnej kognitívnej schopnosti (U = 35525,5, p < 0,017, r = -0,10). Výsledky tiež ukázali stredne silný vzťah všeobecnej kognitívnej schopnosti a školského prospechu – vyššia úroveň všeobecnej kognitívnej schopnosti sa viaže s lepším prospechom zo slovenského jazyka (r = -0,38**), matematiky (r = -0,45**) a cudzieho jazyka (r = -0,35**).

The aim of the article is to present recent fundamental changes in thinking about poetry. Authors of books published in the years 2010–2016 are much more aware of the political and social situation than those who were debuting right after the year 2000. They are also aware of the context of artistic creation and aesthetic criteria. They seek to redefine the production and distribution of poetic works and react (as their predecessors did) with resistance to social and political oppression.

ObjectivesThe problem is to determine whether, after a disaster, unemployment is a possible cause of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – the classic model, or whether PTSD is a possible cause of unemployment – the alternative model.Material and MethodsThe study was conducted on a probabilistic sample of 26 213 adults who provided responses using the Davidson Trauma Scale and lived in regions near or far from the epicenter (Cobquecura, the coast of Chile) of the earthquake and tsunami of February 27, 2010.ResultsIndependent of the proximity to the epicenter, there is an association between PTSD, unemployment, female sex and the poverty line. For regions close to the epicenter, the alternative model has better adjustment indicators than the classic model.ConclusionsGiven the adjustment of the alternative model, the occurrence of PTSD cases is more likely to explain the unemployment condition.

Objectives The main purpose of the study was to investigate the association between sex and the level of information stress, as mediated by affective temperaments. Material and Methods The sample consisted of 231 healthy Caucasian adults (150 women and 81 men) recruited from a general population. The participants’ age ranged 18–56 years (M±SD = 25.07±6.36). Affective temperaments were assessed using the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A). To assess the level of information stress, the Information Stress Questionnaire (ISQ) was used. Results Information stress displayed low to medium positive correlations with depressive, cyclothymic, irritable and anxious temperaments, and a negative correlation with the hyperthymic temperament. The female group was characterized with significantly higher age, information stress, and anxious temperament values, and with a significantly lower irritable temperament value, when compared to males. Cyclothymic temperament, anxious temperament and hyperthymic temperament were found to be significant predictors of information stress. The mediation analysis showed a significant direct effect of sex on information stress. The anxious temperament was a significant mediator of the relationship between sex and information stress. Conclusions The results showed the relationship between sex and information stress, including the role of anxious temperament as a mediator. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2019;32(5):635–44

The perspective of the history of sexuality, as suggested by M. Foucault, seems to be useful for the recognition of Eros in Fichte's philosophy as an element of the 18th Century widespread interest in human sexuality. An interest which, however, had a specific purpose. If one looks at the shape of his own thoughts about love, it is still difficult to find any motives that go beyond the legislation of the rational nature. Love did not come here to the people unexpected, it does not have any separate dialect here, and the sensitivity and sensuality of Eros are based more on the responsibility and the duty of self-sacrifice. Fichte also failed to overcome the Enlightenment paradigm in thinking about the woman. However, this review should not be definitive, in view of the peculiar character of Fichte's work, like his little-known early poetic attempts or the novella The Lovers’ Valley, certainly written in the spirit of Romanticism. It should therefore come as no surprise that for J. W. von Goethe Fichte not only rapidly becomes an artist-philosopher, but in particular a great inspiration behind the so-called "Jena Romanticism".
PL
Perspektywa historii seksualności - jak sugeruje M. Foucault - wydaje się użyteczna także do rozpoznania roli Erosa w filozofii Fichtego jako przykładu rozpowszechnionego w wieku XVIII szerokiego zainteresowania ludzką seksualnością. Zainteresowania, które w przypadku Fichtego miało szczególny cel. Jeśli bowiem przyjrzymy się jego przemyśleniom na temat miłości trudno będzie tam szukać czegoś, co wykraczałoby poza uprawomocnienie racjonalności natury. Miłość nie nadchodzi tutaj nieoczekiwanie, nie wyraża się we własnym języku, zaś czułość i zmysłowość erosa wyrastają raczej z odpowiedzialności i służby samopoświęcenia. Także w kwestii przezwyciężenia oświeceniowego paradygmatu myślenia o kobiecie Fichte zawodzi. Choć należałoby być może unikać takiej jednoznaczności, biorąc pod uwagę szczególny charakter niektórych jego dzieł, jak wczesnych i mało znanych prób poetyckich, czy noweli Dolina kochanków pisanej niewątpliwie w duchu romantyzmu. Nie może zatem zaskakiwać, że J. W. Goethe nie tylko nazywał Fichtego filozofem-artystą, lecz także istotną inspiracją dla tak zwanego "romantyzmu jenajskiego".
