Aim. Identification of epidemiological patterns of the SARS-CoV-2 spread among the population of St. Petersburg during the one-year COVID-19 pandemic period.Materials and methods. The performed analysis focused on the dynamics of COVID-19 cases in St. Petersburg from 2/3/2020 to 4/4/2021 and on the gender-age profile of patients. The information about patients (age, gender, type of the disease, hospitalization, social, and occupational status) was obtained from the database containing the materials from statistical data form No. 058/u.Results. After one year, the dynamics of reported cases of COVID-19 in St. Petersburg shows two cycles of seasonal surge (spring and autumn-winter) and 8 epidemic periods. It has been found that there are no gender-age differences among COVID-19 patients, which can be seen from the relatively similar number of cases among men and women per 100,000 people in each age group during specific epidemic periods. The strong association between clinical manifestations of COVID-19 and the patients' age was detected: Severe cases were more frequently diagnosed in patients over 70 years, regardless of their gender identity. Based on the social and occupational status, the people who were most exposed to the COVID-19 epidemic process were retirees and people whose occupation was associated with health and safety of St. Petersburg. Among the COVID-19 patients, retirees accounted for 13.69% (men) and 17.67% (women). The proportion of healthcare workers was 3.67% (men) and 9.41% (women).Conclusion. It has been assumed that COVID-19 tends to be a seasonal disease featuring annual autumn-winter epidemic cycles. The study addressed prospects of preventive vaccination against COVID-19 in Russia and the importance of tracking the complications pathogenetically associated with the acute phase of the disease in the system of epidemiological surveillance.
Giuseppe Maria Crespi e il Gran Principe Ferdinando de' Medici
Authors: Zucchini Elisa
Published: November 2021

The iconological analysis of Crespi’s paintings for Grand Prince Ferdinando de’Medici reveals shared ideas rooted in Seneca’s philosophy, basis of their taste for genre and pastoral scenes. Crespi was a leading figure of the prince’s artistic view, according to which arts and sciences guide to wisdom and virtue. Their appreciation for bizarre iconographies and Venetian style painting is clarified by ideas inspired by Seneca on ingenuity and picturesque frenzy. The characteristics of conciseness, brilliance, coexistence of archaism and innovation associate Ferdinando’s artistic and musical patronage, influencing his favourite artists and composers and perhaps Handel’s art collection.
District Circular Transition e progettoDistrict Circular Transition and technological design towards a Circular City model
Authors: Tucci Fabrizio , Baiani Serena , Altamura Paola , Cecafosso Valeria
Published: November 2021

In the processes of urban regeneration, in a circular transition perspective, a multiscalar, integrated and systemic approach allows intervention scenarios to be defined, based on a renewed conception of environmental-economic-social sustainability characterised by circular flows of material and non-material resources. Research results translate these demands into a methodological model at the district scale, trialled in two public housing neighbourhoods in Rome, to turn them into “circular districts”. It is demonstrated that, by applying a circular model of ecological transition to urban districts, the 2050 goal of climate neutrality may be attained, while at the same time improving ecosystemic quality, environmental performance and bioclimatic adaptivity in a wide vision of green cities.

Published: November 2021

This paper is part of the design strategies of reassembly and reuse of buildings according to the transition to circular economy. Specifically, the paper addresses the issue of architectural envelopes made of drywall and their executive design according to a Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) approach, based on a case study of a temporary wooden housing unit for which there are several scenarios of use and end of life once the first cycle of use of the components of the envelope has come to an end. In particular, the paper, based on the collection of environmental profiles of products through Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), wants to define a balance between the environmental impacts incorporated in the used materials and the benefits related to the adoption of dry construction techniques.
Coding the circularity. Design for the disassembly and reuse of building components
Authors: Viscuso Salvatore
Published: November 2021

The architecture design today has new expressive features due to the parametric and computational modelling software, which greatly amplify the potential of language. This condition makes it possible to generate customised elements and systems through a process of cyber-physical interaction between design and architectural production. As well as the geometric constraints, dictated by manufacturing and assembly processes of materials, they can be incorporated in the generative design codes. The article examines the possibility to also include the main conditions that enable the selective disassembly of the elements and their reuse at the end of life, avoiding the generation of parts that are not remanufacturable or reusable.

The Constitution of Ukraine of 1710 and its place in the centuries-old history of nation-building
Authors: Boiko Igor
Published: November 2021

The article reveals the socio-political preconditions of the Constitution of Ukraine of 1710, analyzes its content and determinesits place in the centuries-old history of nation-building. It is noted that the Ukrainian Constitution of 1710 had an exceptional politicaland legal significance, as it was a regularity of the existence of the Ukrainian Cossack state and testified to the statehood of the Ukrai -nian nation. The Constitution of 1710 was a kind of social contract, the primary purpose of which is to ensure the rights and free deve -lopment of members of society. It enshrined the principle of separation of state power, established democratic and contractual principlesfor the formation of public authorities, the manner of their organization and interaction, determined their competence and functions.The Constitution of Ukraine of 1710 enshrined other important principles, including equality (Article 6 «equality of the Cossacks inpublic affairs»), the rule of law and the inviolability of natural human rights, which were the basis for preventing usurpation of power,violation of the integrity and sovereignty of the state. The competence of state authorities and officials was delimited and their constitutionalstatus was established. The Ukrainian Constitution of 1710 was focused on the establishment and development of the nationalidea, spiritual and moral values of peace, tolerance, goodness, and justice. During the period of the Ukrainian Cossack state, especiallyat the time of the adoption of its constitution in 1710, the formation of the national idea took place. The Constitution of Ukraine of 1710is important in the history of nation-building. Adopted during the Middle Ages, when predominantly absolutist monarchies ruled, itbecame the most advanced state act in European society at the time, defining Ukraine as a democratic Christian republic with an electedhetmanate. The Constitution of 1710 became the foundation for the further development of Ukrainian statehood. The first Ukrainianconstitution of 1710 was ahead of its time, it was adopted when the French and English educators had just begun to develop those cons -titutional ideas that were already laid down in it. As is typical of constitutions, it defined the state system, the order and principles offunctioning of representative, executive and judicial authorities, the electoral system, the rights and responsibilities of the state, societyand citizens. Given the above-analyzed basic provisions of the Constitution of 1710, it can rightly be considered the first written democraticconstitution in the world. Key words: constitution, state formation, republic, state, nation, Ukraine.

Published: November 2021

The article deals with the study of the legal nature of administrative precedent as one of the types of legal precedent. A reviewof scientific research on this topic shows that in different periods the issue of the legal force of legal precedent as a source of law andits various types have been in the focus of domestic and foreign scholars.However, examining precedent as a source of law, the main focus was on judicial lawmaking, that is, judicial precedent, whichis created by judges when considering specific cases, which in turn led to a certain one-sidedness of the study.The article identifies the need to study the legal nature of different types of legal precedent with an emphasis on the legal forceof administrative precedent. The main features of precedent as a source of law, as well as the peculiarities of its formation and functioningin different legal systems are considered.

Authors: Al-Musawi Zainab F. H. , Al-Saadi Narjis H. M.
Published: November 2021

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from plant extracts is considered one of the green chemistry methods, as this method is characterized by ease, fast and low cost to manipulate. Interestingly, AgNPs have an important role, especially in nano-medicine.  Using AgNPs for cancer therapy are an affordable way to control tumor growth and constitute a choice strategy to fight cancer cells. First type of conventional cancer treatment is surgical treatment then radiation and chemotherapy. However, these treatments may work for some cancer subtypes, and have various side effects, in most cases, with high doses. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized using Dodonaea viscosa leaves extract. The formation of these particles was confirmed through the color change, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer displaying at 463nm.While the particles characterization was done by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) band and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy which revealed the effective functional groups that have ability to bio-reduction silver ion Ag+. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) determined the crystal structure of silver nanoparticles, as shown by the peaks at 2θ values of 38.1874, 46.2491, 57.5409 and76. 8313ο.The atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis showed the size and the surface properties of biosynthesized nanoparticles, and the silver nanoparticles had an average size of 60.22 nm. Finally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed spherical shape of AgNPs and having different average diameter D1 (21.10), D2 (21.39) and D3 (11.86) nm. In vitro, the synthesized AgNPs exhibited potential anti-tumor activities against human lung cancer (A549) and ovarian cancer (SK-OV-3) carcinoma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 of 1.73 and 2.23µg.ml-1, respectively. Our results showed the promising use of AgNPs as an alternative treatment for cancer cells directly and selectively on A549 cell line at concentrations (2.000, 1.699, 1.398 and 1.301 μg /mL).

Implikasi Ketatanegaraan Presidential Term Limit menurut Pasal 7 UUD NRI 1945 sebelum Amendemen terhadap Presidential Continuism Masa Orde Baru
Authors: Chafid Moch , Erliyana Anna
Published: November 2021

Presidential term limit according to Article 7 of the 1945 Constitution (UUD) before the amendment should not be interpreted as only one measure namely in terms of quantity (limits on the term of office and the maximum period of office in office), but must regulate in terms of quality (legal norms and political ethics in commitment creating a democratic and competent government). As a result, every President in power will endeavor to presidential continuation by changing, avoiding, reinterpreting, amending the constitution or even presidential term limit in article 7 of the 1945 Constitution before the amendment. In the constitutional order, it will have implications for every President in power to form an authoritarian government and reduce democracy, abuse of the President's power to hold office continuously, give birth to an elected president who is incompetence in government administration, and creates stagnation of political regeneration.

Published: November 2021

Scrophularia striata and Tanacetum polycephalum are important medicinal plants in Iran which are rich inessential oils, bitter substances, and sesquiterpene lactones. The present study was conducted to compare fournon-linear regression models (segmented, beta, beta modified and Dent-like) to describe the germination ratetemperaturerelationships of Scrophularia striata and Tanacetum polycephalum over eight and seven constanttemperatures, respectively, to find cardinal temperatures and thermal time requirements to reach differentgermination percentiles. An iterative optimization method was used to calibrate the models and differentstatistical indices including RMSE, coefficient of determination (R2), and AICc were applied to compare theirperformance. The beta model was found to be the best model to predict germination rate of Scrophulariastriata at D10, D50 and D90 (R2 = 0.96, R2 = 0.97, R2 = 0.95; RMSE = 0.005, 0.001 and 0.001, respectively).According to this model outputs, the base, optimum, and the maximum temperatures for germination wereestimated as 1.21 ± 0.39, 25.91 ± 0.33 and 46.35 ± 4.12 °C, respectively. Also the segmented model wasfound to be the best model to predict germination rate of Tanacetum polycephalum at D10, D50 and D90 (R2= 0.98, R2 = 0.98, R2 = 0.98; RMSE = 0.067, 0.59 and 0.56, respectively). According to the model outputs, thebase, optimum, and the maximum temperatures for germination were estimated as 0.44±1.15, 26.95±0.75 and38.33±0.98 oC, respectively. It seems these two medicinal plants need moderate optimum temperature for seedgermination.

MEDIATING ROLE OF MENTORING BETWEEN JOB STRESS AND JOB SATISFACTION IN EMPLOYEES OF AN IRANIAN STATE BANK
Authors: Pasha Nastaran , Rezaei Sajjad
Published: November 2021

A large number of research studies have been conducted on mentoring; however, a few of them have been done in developing countries (e.g., Iran). In addition, few researchers have investigated the mediating effect of mentoring functions on job stress and job satisfaction in bank staff. This study is aimed at exploring the mediating role of mentoring in the relationship between job stress and job satisfaction in employees. The study population consisted of all employees of state bank branches in Rasht city (north Iran). The participants of this study were 214 bank employees. The results revealed the mediating role of mentoring in the relationship of job satisfaction and job stress, showing that mentoring mediates the destructive effects of job stress and improves job satisfaction. The present study showed that mentoring is a general form of organizational support that can be effective in reducing job stress. Therefore, having a good mentor may act as a buffer against the destructive effect of job stress toward job satisfaction for employees within an organization. These results supported the proposed structural model.
EXPLORING ALEXITHYMIA IN SOMATIZATION USING RORSCHACH PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS
Authors: Bandyopadhyay Chitrankana , Mahato Akash Kumar
Published: November 2021

It has been classically postulated that alexithymia is related to a pervasive inability of emotional recognition and expression. This leaves some individuals little choice but to somatise unprocessed emotions commonly caused by internal conflicts. The present study thus aimed to explore the nature of conflicts, controls and stress tolerance, affect, self-perception, and interpersonal perception and behavior in somatization patients with alexithymia. 30 individuals of both sexes and of the age range 20-50 years, diagnosed with somatization disorder and alexithymia, were purposively undertaken for the study. Toronto Alexithymia Scale 20, Sack’s Sentence Completion Test and the Rorschach Test – Exner’s Comprehensive System were used to screen for alexithymia, to measure conflicts and the other aforementioned domains respectively. Results revealed that conflicts related to self-concept, sex, and family were primarily present in this sample. Characteristic patterns of underlying vulnerabilities seemed to account for poor stress tolerance, affective complications, negative self-perception, and maladaptive interpersonal functioning. It is suggested that alexithymia and a tendency to develop conflicts in somatization are based on the foundation of certain fundamental personality predispositions. Identifying said personality patterns could aid in appropriate and effective goal-setting in psychotherapy, specific to this otherwise treatment-resistant patient population.

Published: November 2021

This study is aimed to investigate of an impact of electrical cables installed on Norway spruce (Picea abies(L.) Karst.) wood board surface on main ignition parameters (mainly critical heat flux, ignition temperature, thermal response parameter and thermal inertia). Ignition parameters have been determined by dependence of ignition times (raised to the power of -1, -1/2 and -0.547) on heat flux. Initiation times have been measured for three configurations of spruce wood boards with surface dimensions of 100 x 100 mm ± 1 mm (the first configuration: board without cables on surface, the second configuration: board with three electrical cables on surface -spacing between cables was equal to their diameter and the third configuration: board with five electrical cables -spacing between cables was equal to their diameter) at five heat fluxes (30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 kW·m-2). Obtained results proved that installation of the electrical cables on the spruce wood board surface has a significant impact on the ignition parameters. The critical heat flux (8.5 kW·m-2), apparent thermal inertia0.20 ± 0.02 kJ2·m-4·K-2·s-1and ignition temperature 324 ± 105°C of spruce wood board increased up to 18 ± 3 kW·m-2(critical heat flux), 0.68 ± 0.03 kJ2·m-4·K-2·s-1(apparent thermal inertia) and 475 ± 27°C (ignition temperature) by theinstallation of electrical cableson the surface of spruce wood board.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of impregnating materials (low molecular weight phenol formaldehyde or LmwPF and succinic anhydride or SA), their concentrations (5and 10%), and compression ratios (20 and 40% from initial thickness)on improvement of specific gravity (SG) and dimensional stability on nyatoh, sepetir, and pisang putih wood; and then compared them to control and densified wood. The results showed that SG and dimensional stability of compregnated wood were affected by all parameters studied. Higher compression ratio and concentration will result in a greater improvement.In general, SG and dimensional stability of compregnated wood were better than the control.SG of LmwPF-and SA-compregnated wood increased by 10.69‒22.31% and 6.96‒23.09%, respectively. Utilization of LmwPF and SA has significantly reduced the spring-back, butthe latter is better. Thecompression-set recovery after compregnation was 18.34‒33.99%, while after densification was 47.86‒71.49%.

In order to improve the power selection of the drive unit for the shredding machines,theauthors determine the values of friction coefficients used in the cutting force models. These values consider the friction between steel and such wood-based materials as chipboard, MDF and OSB. The tests concern laminated and non-laminated external surfaces and surfaces subjected to cutting processes. The value of the coefficient of friction for the tested materials is in the range: for the static coefficient of friction 0.77-0.33, and for the kinetic coefficient of friction 0.68-0.25. The highest values of the static and kinematic coefficient of friction were recorded for MDF (non-laminated external surface) and they were equal respectively: 0.77 and 0.68. In turn, thesmallest values of the discussed coefficients were recorded for chipboard (laminated external wood-base surface), which were at the level of 0.33 and 0.25, resp.

The study presents theoretical aspects and modern technologies for processing wood biomass, considers the possibility of obtaining wood chips from felling residues of cutting areas, in particular technological chips that meet the GOST 15815: 1983 “Technological chips. Specifications" standard for use as raw materials in the production of fiberboard. Wood fiber obtained from similar in size and quality indicators according to GOST 15815: 1983 technological chips, pre-treated in a defibrator, was subjected to a refining process at a low concentration, in particular using the developed design of the disks of the refiner of fibrillating action while regulating the main parameters of the process. The resulting wood-fiber mass was characterized by an improvement in the fractional composition of fibers, their size and quality indicators. As a result, improving the quality of the wood-fiber mass provides an increasein thephysical and mechanical properties of wood-fiber boards under all other equal production conditions, which excludes the use of binding resins, and may indicate the possibilitof effective processing of logging waste.

Agroclimatic conditions of the Osijek area during referent (1961–1990) and recent (1991–2018) climate periods
Authors: Bilandžija Darija , Martinčić Silvija
Published: November 2021

One highly important segment of agricultural production is the agroecological condition of a given area, including climatic conditions, which have been changing recently. Croatia belongs to a climate zone also known as a climate hot spot, characterised by a pronounced sensitivity to climate change. In order to determine if the climate has changed in the Osijek area, climatic elements and agroclimatic indicators were analysed for a referent period (1961∑1990) and a recent period (1991∑2018). The analysis shows that the climate has changed in the recent period as compared to the referent period. The identified climate changes manifest in higher mean air temperatures, higher precipitation amount, increased actual evapotranspiration and prolonged vegetation periods in the recent period. Furthermore, hydrothermal condition analysis shows that the ten warmest years and vegetation periods in the studied 58-year period were within the past 26 years. Due to the identified climate change and the assumption that the climate will continue to change in the future, adaptation and mitigation measures will have to be applied in agricultural production. For a more reliable assessment of agroclimatic conditions at certain area, it is recommended to analyse other climatic elements as well, such as the number of consecutive dry or rainy days above the critical precipitation threshold, wind, solar radiation, insolation, etc.
The Young Stellar Population, Distance, and Cloud–Cloud Collision Induced Star Formation Scenario of the Trifid Nebula
Authors: Kalari Venu M.
Published: November 2021

The Trifid Nebula is a young, nearby star-forming region where star formation is proposed to have been triggered by cloud–cloud collision (CCC), based on observations of molecular clouds. It offers a unique opportunity to test whether the CCC hypothesis is supported by the spatial distribution and star formation chronology of young stars. We present the first study of the optically visible pre-main sequence (PMS) population of the region using riHα imaging and Gaia astrometry. Combined with an analysis of young stellar objects (YSOs) using infrared imaging, we capture the spatial distribution and star formation chronology of the young stellar population. From the analysis, 15 Flat/Class I YSOs, 46 Class II YSOs, and 41 accreting PMS stars are identified (diskless/non-accreting sources are not included in the analysis). The distance based on Gaia parallaxes is ∼1250 pc, significantly closer than previously reported. The Class II YSOs and PMS stars (∼1.5 Myr old) are spread toward the edge of the molecular clouds. They are slightly younger than the estimated crossing time of ∼2.7 Myr and closer to the estimated dynamical age ∼0.85 Myr. Younger Class I YSOs are more concentrated spatially. There exists a cavity devoid of young stars where the two clouds overlap. This evidence suggests that the current generation of stars formed after the collision of two clouds ∼1 Myr ago, and this result can be corroborated using future spectroscopic studies.

Published: November 2021

Different forms of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity functions are considered on the basis of an explicit physical model. The inferred flux distributions are compared with the observed ones from two samples of GRBs, Swift and Fermi GBM. The best-fit parameters of the luminosity functions are found, and the physical interpretations are discussed. The results are consistent with the observation of a comparable number of flat-phase afterglows and monotonically decreasing ones.
The Astrophysical Variance in Gaia–Radial Velocity Spectrometer Spectra

Published: November 2021

Large surveys are providing a diversity of spectroscopic observations with Gaia alone set to deliver millions of Ca-triplet-region spectra across the Galaxy. We aim to understand the dimensionality of the chemical abundance information in the Gaia–Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) data to inform galactic archeology pursuits. We fit a quadratic model of four primary sources of variability, described by labels of T
eff,

log
g

, [Fe/H], and [α/Fe], to the normalized flux of 10,802 red-clump stars from the Gaia-RVS-like Abundances and Radial velocity Galactic Origins Survey (ARGOS). We examine the residuals between ARGOS spectra and the models and find that the models capture the flux variability across 85% of the wavelength region. The remaining residual variance is concentrated to the Ca-triplet features, at an amplitude up to 12% of the normalized flux. We use principal component analysis on the residuals and find orthogonal correlations in the Ca-triplet core and wings. This variability, not captured by our model, presumably marks departures from the completeness of the 1D LTE label description. To test the indication of low-dimensionality, we turn to abundance-space to infer how well we can predict measured [Si/H], [O/H], [Ca/H], [Ni/H], and [Al/H] abundances from the Gaia-RVS-like Radial Velocity Experiment survey with models of T
eff,

log
g

, [Fe/H], and [Mg/Fe]. We find that we can nearly entirely predict these abundances. Using high-precision Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment abundances, we determine that a measurement uncertainty of <0.03 dex is required to capture additional information from these elements. This indicates that a four-label model sufficiently describes chemical abundance variance for an approximate signal-to-noise ratio <200 per pixel, in Gaia-RVS spectra.
The Impact of Black Hole Formation on Population-averaged Supernova Yields

Published: November 2021

The landscape of black hole (BH) formation—in which massive stars explode as core-collapse supernovae (CCSN) and which implode into BHs—profoundly affects the initial-mass-function (IMF)-averaged nucleosynthetic yields of a stellar population. Building on the work of Sukhbold et al., we compute IMF-averaged yields at solar metallicity for a wide range of assumptions, including neutrino-driven engine models with extensive BH formation, models with a simple mass threshold for BH formation, and a model in which all stars from 8 to 120 M
⊙ explode. For plausible choices, the overall yields of α-elements span a factor of 3, but changes in relative yields are more subtle, typically 0.05–0.2 dex. To constrain the overall level of BH formation, ratios of C and N to O or Mg are promising diagnostics. To distinguish complex, theoretically motivated landscapes from simple mass thresholds, abundance ratios involving Mn or Ni are promising because of their sensitivity to the core structure of the CCSN progenitors. We confirm previous findings of a substantial (factor 2.5–4) discrepancy between predicted O/Mg yield ratios and observationally inferred values, implying that models either overproduce O or underproduce Mg. No landscape choice achieves across-the-board agreement with observed abundance ratios; the discrepancies offer empirical clues to aspects of massive star evolution or explosion physics still missing from the models. We find qualitatively similar results using the massive star yields of Limongi & Chieffi. We provide tables of IMF-integrated yields for several landscape scenarios, and more flexible user-designed models can be implemented through the publicly available Versatile Integrator for Chemical Evolution (VICE; https://pypi.org/project/vice/).
The Magnetic Origin of Solar Campfires

Published: November 2021

Solar campfires are fine-scale heating events, recently observed by Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter. Here we use EUI 174 Å images, together with EUV images from Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), and line-of-sight magnetograms from SDO/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) to investigate the magnetic origin of 52 randomly selected campfires in the quiet solar corona. We find that (i) the campfires are rooted at the edges of photospheric magnetic network lanes; (ii) most of the campfires reside above the neutral line between majority-polarity magnetic flux patch and a merging minority-polarity flux patch, with a flux cancelation rate of ∼1018 Mx hr−1; (iii) some of the campfires occur repeatedly from the same neutral line; (iv) in the large majority of instances, campfires are preceded by a cool-plasma structure, analogous to minifilaments in coronal jets; and (v) although many campfires have “complex” structure, most campfires resemble small-scale jets, dots, or loops. Thus, “campfire” is a general term that includes different types of small-scale solar dynamic features. They contain sufficient magnetic energy (∼1026–1027 erg) to heat the solar atmosphere locally to 0.5–2.5 MK. Their lifetimes range from about 1 minute to over 1 hr, with most of the campfires having a lifetime of <10 minutes. The average lengths and widths of the campfires are 5400 ± 2500 km and 1600 ± 640 km, respectively. Our observations suggest that (a) the presence of magnetic flux ropes may be ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere and not limited to coronal jets and larger-scale eruptions that make CMEs, and (b) magnetic flux cancelation is the fundamental process for the formation and triggering of most campfires.
