Testing the need for novelty as a candidate need in basic psychological needs theory
2020
The purpose of this research was to test novelty as a candidate basic psychological need according to the inclusion criteria established within basic psychological needs theory (BPNT).

Affect in the Context of Self-Determination Theory
2018
Self-determination theory has been applied to understand the role of affect in motivation and behavior in health contexts. According to self-determination theory, autonomous forms of motivation, reflecting self-endorsed reasons for acting and the satisfaction of psychological needs, are related to participation and persistence in health behavior. Research examining the role of affect in determining health behavior from the perspective of the theory is relatively sparse. Affect has served as both an outcome and process in applications of the theory to health behavior. Positive affect and psychological well-being have been identified as important outcomes of participating in behaviors for aut…
Involving students in the redesign of learning environments conducive to learning and wellbeing
2014
Increased understanding of the interrelations between overall wellbeing and learning calls for a holistic and multidisciplinary learning environment (LE) design. Considering learners’ perception in the design of LE supportive to learning and wellbeing is expected to positively influence (a) the design quality, (b) participatory organizational culture, and (c) learning. The nature of this process creates contradictions and difficulties, however. Stand-alone co-design efforts may convert into pseudo-consultation without actual effects; neither is it easy to consider various stakeholders’ perceptions in a balanced manner. And if not planned carefully, instead of experiencing learning benefits,…
Seksualny dobrostan a satysfakcja z życia osób z niepełnosprawnością ruchową - moderacyjna rola samooceny
2022
Wstęp: Obecność i postęp niepełnosprawności wymaga od osoby nią dotkniętej nowego sposobu funkcjonowania, który charakteryzuje się ograniczonymi możliwościami zmagania się z problemami dnia codziennego. Metaanalizy badań pokazują, że nabycie lub posiadanie niepełnosprawności fizycznej może w negatywny sposób kształtować samoocenę i ogólny dobrostan. Wyniki zawarte w dostępnych publikacjach wskazują na związki między samooceną, satysfakcją seksualną i dobrostanem wśród osób z niepełnosprawnością fizyczną. Celem niniejszej pracy jest zweryfikowanie roli samooceny w relacji pomiędzy dobrostanem seksualnym a satysfakcją z życia osób z niepełnosprawnością motoryczną. Materiał i metody: W badaniu…

A STAT4 variant increases liver fibrosis risk in Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis B
2018
Background Host genetic modifiers of the natural history of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remain poorly understood. Recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS)-identified polymorphism in the STAT4 gene that contributes to the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was shown to be associated with the full spectrum of hepatitis B virus (HBV) outcomes in Asian patients. However, the functional mechanisms for this effect are unknown and the role of the variant in modulating HBV disease in Caucasians has not been investigated. Aims To determine whether STAT4 genetic variation is associated with liver injury in Caucasian patients with CHB and to investigate potential mechanisms mediating this e…

Naśladowanie Boga w Jego miłosierdziu (Łk 6, 36-38)
2016
In Lukes text (6:36-38) the reference of the judgement occurs in the conversion context of Gods charity(mercy).This motive is referred to the relation man-man and deals with judging others. Passing judgements on other peoples behaviour is an eschatological consequence as the same will be done by God after mans death. If people imitate Gods charity (mercy) in the relationship to other people they can accept it that God will treat them charitable. The verb Kptnc has a charity (mercy) aspect in this relation. Charity (mercy) may be defined as mans priority in this ethical behaviour.
