Abstract: Psychologists, specializing in work and organizational psychology (occupational psychologists), play a crucial role in the implementation and development of Human resource management (HRM) processes, which are increasingly affected by artificial intelligence (AI). This research aims to examine how and why AI is utilized among occupational psychologists, as well as the ethical dilemmas associated with this use in relation to the Code of Professional Ethics for Psychologists (the Code). The empirical part of this pilot study is based on a qualitative research design. 6 semi-structured interviews based on 11 questions regarding the use of AI in occupational psychologists’ work were conducted. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. The study results reveal that AI plays a vital role in automating routine administrative tasks. Participants highlighted its contribution to time efficiency and its utility in language translation. Nonetheless, concerns arise regarding increases in the occupational psychologists’ workload, as human oversight is required to ensure the accuracy and reliability of AI. While AI promises objectivity, participants cautioned that algorithms can be biased, potentially leading to discriminatory practices. They also expressed concerns about accountability. This question is pivotal, as the Code mandates the maintenance of professional boundaries and the respect for individuals' rights. Participants also pointed to risks associated with data protection. Despite this awareness, participants admitted they do not rely on the Code in their work with AI, which increases the risk of unethical decision-making. It is recommended that organizations provide adequate training for AI users, regulate data input, and ensure its use in accordance with ethical guidelines. The Slovenian Psychologists’ Association has a pivotal role in the preparation of specific guidelines and advising occupational psychologists on the ethical use of AI.

Abstract: This study examines code glosses, i.e. a category of metadiscourse that clarifies or exemplifies content, in the EU’s legislative corpus, using the English and Croatian DGT Translation Memory parallel corpus (Steinberger et al., 2012). Code glosses enhance coherence and reader comprehension by reformulating or elaborating arguments, which is especially useful in legal texts, yet their use in such texts remains understudied compared to the academic genre. Employing Sketch Engine for automated extraction and manual analysis, the research reveals nuanced differences in the frequency and form of code glosses between English and Croatian legislative texts (in Croatian code glosses are used slightly less, but certain code glosses, such as colons, are used more frequently), reflecting the tendency to keep the structure of the original text in translations. These findings contribute to a better understanding of cross-linguistic textual adaptation in legislative contexts. Future work will explore other metadiscourse categories and their impact on reader comprehension in legal contexts.

Abstract: We consider the following question by Balister, Győri and Schelp: given 2^{n-1} nonzero vectors in F_2^n with zero sum, is it always possible to partition the elements of F_2^n into pairs such that the difference between the two elements of the i-th pair is equal to the i-th given vector for every i? An analogous question in F_p, which is a case of the so-called "seating couples" problem, has been resolved by Preissmann and Mischler in 2009. In this paper, we prove the conjecture in F_2^n in the case when the number of distinct values among the given difference vectors is at most n-2log(n)-1, and also in the case when at least a fraction 1/2+ε of the given vectors are equal (for all ε>0 and n sufficiently large based on ε).
