Objectives: The aim of the study was to create a Polish adaptation of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), assess its psychometric properties and conduct factor analysis in a group of adults.
Methods: Five hundred two students of the Poznan University of Medical Sciences, aged 19-40 were studied, assessed by the 27-item HSPS, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and NEO-FFI Questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed in two subgroups (N = 250 and N = 252, respectively).
Results: The Polish version was accepted by the authors of the scale. Cronbach's α was 0.90 and the ICC interclass correlation coefficient was 0.95 for retest data. Exploratory factor analysis distinguished a three-factor model of the HSPS scale (EOE, LST and AES factors), and confirmatory analysis confirmed its better fit. The HSPS scale, EOE and LST showed a significant relationship with the BDI and "Neuroticism" and a negative relationship with "Extraversion", while the AES factor was strongly related to "Openness". Women scored higher on all HSPS subscales, HSPS total score and "Conscientiousness".
Conclusions: The Polish version of the HSPS scale is characterized by good reliability, consistency and validity, and the results indicate a three-factor model. We recommend the use of the HSPS scale in Polish conditions by mental health professionals.

Background: This study investigated the relationship between sensory processing sensitivity and sensation seeking.
Participants And Procedure: The sample consisted of 625 subjects ( women = 225, men = 400). Sensory processing sensitivity was assessed using the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS), and sensation seeking with the Arnett Inventory of Sensation Seeking (AISS).
Job burnout among Polish dentists: the role of sensory processing sensitivity and emotional intelligence.

Objectives: Job strain in dentistry makes the profession highly susceptible to occupational burnout. People with high sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) perceive workplace as more stressful and more demanding. Emotional intelligence (EI) is both a trait and an ability, which helps individuals adapt to the environment and reduces burnout.

Livestock manure is a major reservoir for pathogens, posing significant environmental risks if used untreated. The efficacy of composting in fully inactivating pathogens remains controversial, particularly regarding the influence of their optimal growth temperature (OGT). This study investigated the composition and dynamic changes of pathogen communities and virulence factors (VFs) during the composting of chicken, bovine, ovine, and swine manure.

Article Synopsis
- The invasive pest Liriomyza trifolii threatens ornamental and vegetable plants, spreading quickly and demonstrating high heat resistance.
- Researchers created strains of this pest adapted to high temperatures (35°C and 40°C) to study their survival and reproductive behaviors under thermal stress.
- Findings revealed that while acclimation at 35°C boosted reproduction and population growth, the 40°C strain had faster development but lower reproductive success, indicating a balance between adaptability and reproduction under environmental stress.
