Published: July 2023

The limestones of the Solnhofen area in southern Germany are one of the most important fossil Lagerstätten from the entire Mesozoic era, especially famous for the exquisitely preserved vertebrates. The turtles from the Solnhofen Limestone have been always of special interest because they include some of the best-preserved specimens from the Mesozoic. Here, we describe a new turtle specimen from the Torleite Formation (Kimmeridgian) of Painten and refer it to the thalassochelydian turtle Solnhofia parsonsi based on the presence of a unique combination of characters. The far majority of morphological differences from previously published specimens can be explained by ontogeny as the new specimen represents a larger, more ossified, and presumably older individual. Additionally, the specimen from Painten is the first described specimen of S. parsonsi preserving the largely complete and articulated limbs, the preservation of which indicates that the taxon did not possess stiffened paddles present in more pelagic marine turtles and is consistent with a previously inferred nearshore marine lifestyle. Contrary to previous inferences, we argue that taphonomic preservation of digits in articulated fossil turtles from laminated deposits cannot be used alone to infer marine or freshwater habitat. Finally, the new specimen from Painten is only the second, for which detailed information on its stratigraphic position and locality of origin are known.

Published: July 2023

Workplace violence (WPV) is a globally prevailing public health concerns among healthcare workers. Workplace violence includes occupational abuse (physical, sexual, verbal and psychological), threats or harm among health workers, and workplace harassment. It is important to identify the prevalence of workplace violence at the workplace. Therefore, this study aimed to assess workplace violence and its associated factors among healthcare workers at a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 369 health care workers in a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS v20. Descriptive statistics were used to assess workplace violence and other independent variables. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model was used to examine the factors associated with workplace violence. The prevalence of verbal violence was highest among doctors (34.3%) and nurses (52.8%) followed by bullied/mobbed among doctors (11.9%) and nurses (17%) any time in the past. Experience of any type of workplace violence in the past among doctor was 45.5% and among nurses was 54% while 35.8% doctors and 46.8% nurses had experienced it in the past 12 months. Patients and relatives of patient were major perpetrator for physical and verbal violence while management and staff members were major perpetrators for bullying/mobbing. Participants marital status, work experience, posted department, nature of work shift, frequency of night shift and working hours per week showed statistically significant association with the experience of workplace violence within past 12 months (p<0.05) in binary logistic regression analysis. There is a crucial need to establish evidence-based actions to prevent violence in the workplace and promote a healthy workplace setting. Placing adequate staffs at emergency and medical departments and providing training to cope with the stressful emergency situations would help in minimizing workplace violence among health workers.
“My brain freezes and I am blocked again”: The subjective experience of post-migration living difficulties influenced by complex posttraumatic stress disorder of Afghan asylum seekers and refugees in Austria

Published: July 2023

Background

Potentially traumatic experiences and post-migration living difficulties (PMLDs) undoubtedly leave marks on mental health and psychosocial functioning. While PMLDs are recognised as a risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder and complex posttraumatic stress disorder (described together here as C/PTSD), recent investigations have found that C/PTSD symptoms might also influence the experience of PMLDs. The subjective experience of and coping with PMLDs in the context of C/PTSD symptoms has not yet been explored.

Methods

Semi-structured, interpreter-assisted interviews exploring the subjective experience of post-migration living difficulties were conducted with treatment-seeking Afghan refugees and asylum seekers (N = 24) and transcribed verbatim. Participants were screened using the International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) and allocated to a C/PTSD group or non-C/PTSD group. We analysed the qualitative interviews using content analysis and then compared the results of the two groups.

Results

Over half of the participants (58.3%) met the criteria for C/PTSD. While the two groups addressed numerous similar themes, the C/PTSD group more frequently mentioned themes associated with C/PTSD symptoms (e.g., intrusions, avoidance, sleep disturbances, affective dysregulation) that influenced their responses to PMLDs. The non-C/PTSD group more often experienced positive emotions such as gratitude and optimism, and showed more active, solution-oriented behaviour as well as positive self-verbalisation.

Conclusion

To achieve a deeper understanding of PMLDs, post-traumatic psychopathology should be taken into account, as C/PTSD symptoms influence the experience of and coping with PMLDs. The specifics of individual experiences need to be considered in order to promote adaptive coping with PMLDs and to set individual trauma-focused and transdiagnostic treatment targets. In addition, psychological interventions should incorporate psychoeducation to improve the understanding of the impact of C/PTSD on the current experience of PMLDs.

Published: July 2023

Background

This study aimed to examine the prevalence of antenatal depression and experience of abuse during childhood, to analyze the association between having experienced childhood abuse and depression during pregnancy, and to explore the role of emotional support as a moderator of that association.

Methods

In total, 44,770 pregnant women were analyzed from the self-administered registry for risk assessment at community public health centers in Seoul, Republic of Korea, for home visiting service provision between 2015 and 2019. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was applied for the assessment of depression. The adjusted effects of childhood abuse experience on antepartum depression according to emotional support as an effect moderator were estimated.

Results

Depression was present in 2,451 pregnant women (5.5%), and 1,506 (3.4%) reported having experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse in childhood. After adjustment of covariates, pregnant women who had experienced abuse during childhood had EPDS scores 2.79 points higher than pregnant women without such experiences, and those who lacked emotional support during adulthood had 4.96 points higher than their counterparts. The difference in EPDS scores based on childhood abuse experience among women who reported emotional support (2.86) was larger than the difference in EPDS scores among those with no emotional support (1.91) (P for interaction = 0.0106).

Conclusions

The experience of abuse in early life and emotional support in later life are both independently important for understanding antenatal depression in Korean women. More comprehensive emotional support is needed for pregnant women who experienced abuse in childhood.
Life history, nest longevity, sex ratio, and nest architecture of the fungus-growing ant Mycetosoritis hartmanni (Formicidae: Attina)
Authors: Mueller Ulrich G. , Himler Anna G. , Farrior Caroline E.
Published: July 2023

Mycetosoritis hartmanniis a rarely collected fungus-farming ant of North America. We describe life history and nest architecture for aM.hartmannipopulation in central Texas, USA. Colonies are monogynous with typically less than 100 workers (average 47.6 workers, maximum 148 workers). Nests occur always in sand and have a uniform architecture with 1–3 underground garden chambers arranged along a vertical tunnel, with the deepest gardens 50–70 cm deep. Foragers are active primarily between April and October. After reduced activity between November and February, egg laying by queens resumes in April, and the first worker pupae develop in early June. Reproductive females and males are reared primarily in July and August, with proportionally more females produced early in summer (protogyny). Mating flights and founding of new nests by mated females occur in late June to August, but may extend through September. For a cohort of 150 established nests (nests that had survived at least one year after nest founding), the estimated mortality rate was 0.41–0.53, the estimated average lifespan for these nests was 1.9–2.5 years, and the longest-living nests were observed to live for 6 years. These life-history parameters forM.hartmanniin central Texas are consistent with information from additionalM.hartmanninests observed throughout the range of this species from eastern Louisiana to southern Texas. Throughout its range in the USA,M.hartmannican be locally very abundant in sun-exposed, sandy soil. Abundance ofM.hartmanniseems so far relatively unaffected by invasive fire ants, and at presentM.hartmannidoes not appear to be an endangered species.
Fusogenic structural changes in arenavirus glycoproteins are associated with viroporin activity

Published: July 2023

Many enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusing with acidic endosomes. The fusion activity of multiple viral envelope glycoproteins does not generally affect viral membrane permeability. However, fusion induced by the Lassa virus (LASV) glycoprotein complex (GPc) is always preceded by an increase in viral membrane permeability and the ensuing acidification of the virion interior. Here, systematic investigation of this LASV fusion phenotype using single pseudovirus tracking in live cells reveals that the change in membrane barrier function is associated with the fusogenic conformational reorganization of GPc. We show that a small-molecule fusion inhibitor or mutations that impair viral fusion by interfering with GPc refolding into the post-fusion structure prevent the increase in membrane permeability. We find that the increase in virion membrane permeability occurs early during endosomal maturation and is facilitated by virus-cell contact. This increase is observed using diverse arenavirus glycoproteins, whether presented on lentivirus-based pseudoviruses or arenavirus-like particles, and in multiple different cell types. Collectively, these results suggest that conformational changes in GPc triggered by low pH and cell factor binding are responsible for virion membrane permeabilization and acidification of the virion core prior to fusion. We propose that this viroporin-like activity may augment viral fusion and/or post-fusion steps of infection, including ribonucleoprotein release into the cytoplasm.
Isotope tracing reveals bacterial catabolism of host-derived glutathione during Helicobacter pylori infection

Published: July 2023

Mammalian cells synthesize the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) to shield cellular biomolecules from oxidative damage. Certain bacteria, including the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori, can perturb host GSH homeostasis. H. pylori infection significantly decreases GSH levels in host tissues, which has been attributed to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in infected cells. However, the precise mechanism of H. pylori-induced GSH depletion remains unknown, and tools for studying this process during infection are limited. We developed an isotope-tracing approach to quantitatively monitor host-derived GSH in H. pylori-infected cells by mass spectrometry. Using this method, we determined that H. pylori catabolizes reduced GSH from gastric cells using γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (gGT), an enzyme that hydrolyzes GSH to glutamate and cysteinylglycine (Cys-Gly). gGT is an established virulence factor with immunomodulatory properties that is required for H. pylori colonization in vivo. We found that H. pylori internalizes Cys-Gly in a gGT-dependent manner and that Cys-Gly production during H. pylori infection is coupled to the depletion of intracellular GSH from infected cells. Consistent with bacterial catabolism of host GSH, levels of oxidized GSH did not increase during H. pylori infection, and exogenous antioxidants were unable to restore the GSH content of infected cells. Altogether, our results indicate that H. pylori-induced GSH depletion proceeds via an oxidation-independent mechanism driven by the bacterial enzyme gGT, which fortifies bacterial acquisition of nutrients from the host. Additionally, our work establishes a method for tracking the metabolic fate of host-derived GSH during infection.

Published: July 2023

ЦЕЛЬ: оценка контроля сахарного диабета типа 2 (СД 2) с использованием системы непрерывного мо-

ниторирования гликемии (НМГ), работающего в режиме реального времени (система Flash-мониторинг

FreeStyle Libre) при назначении инсулинотерапии. системы непрерывного мониторирования гликемии при

назначении инсулинотерапии имеет преимущества в клинической практике перед лабораторным методом.

МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ: в исследовании приняли участие 34 пациента с СД 2 (15 мужчин и 19 жен-

щин). Средний возраст 56,5±3,5лет. Стаж СД 8,3±4,1лет. Атеросклеротические сердечно-сосудистые забо-

левания отсутствовали. Все принимали пероральные сахароснижающие препараты и имели неадекватный

контроль – гликированный гемоглобин (HbA1C) 10,2±1,2%, что явилось показанием для назначения ин-

сулина. Схема инсулинотерапии подбиралась индивидуально: традиционная или интенсифицированная.

Они были разделены на 2 группы по 17 человек. В 1-ой группе контроль гликемии проводился с исполь-

зованием системы НМГ, а во 2-ой – лабораторным методом: натощак, перед едой, через 2 часа после еды,

на ночь и по необходимости в течение дня. Целевой уровень компенсации гликемии был установлен

менее 7,0 ммоль/л натощак и менее 9,0 ммоль/л после еды. Для оценки качества гликемического контроля

были использованы основные критерии компенсации углеводного обмена: процент в целевом диапазоне

(согласно алгоритмам 3,9-10,0 ммоль/л); ниже и выше его; а также вариабельность гликемии (ВГ), которая

оценивалась как размах колебаний гликемии в течение суток.

РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: в обеих группах больных отмечена положительная динамика показателей углеводного

обмена уже через неделю. Гликемия натощак снизилась с 9,7±2,8 до 6,3±1,2 ммоль/л, через 2 часа после

еды - с 12,6±1,1 до 8,7±0,3 ммоль/л. Целевой уровень гликемии был достигнут у 78% пациентов в 1-ой груп-

пе и у 63% во 2-ой. Пациенты, у которых показатели гликемии были ниже целевого диапазона 3,9 ммоль/л

составили в 1-ой группе 2%, а во 2-ой группе – 9%. Пациенты, у которых показатели гликемии были выше

целевого диапазона 10,0 ммоль/л составили в 1-ой группе 28%, а во 2-ой группе – 47%. ВГ с размахом ко-

лебаний гликемии менее 4 ммоль/л в 1-ой группе была у 80% пациентов, а во 2-ой – 52%. По результатам

контроля были оптимизированы схемы инсулинотерапии в соответствии с ежедневным рационом питания

и физическими нагрузками, что позволило достичь компенсации углеводного обмена у пациентов СД 2.

ВЫВОДЫ: таким образом, оценка контроля сахарного диабета типа 2 с использованием. Это сокращает

время титрации доз инсулина до компенсации углеводного обмена, что уменьшает срок госпитализации

Ecologies of Docility and Control: Environmental Fantasy and Extractive Economy at a Maryland Girls Boarding School, 1834-1868
Authors: Hess Sophie
Published: July 2023

Sophie Hess examines the role of a 19th-century elite women's boarding school in Maryland, U.S.A., The Patapsco Institute, in producing and legitimizing the beginning of an extractive culture. Through analyses of the writings of both teachers and students (in poetry, journals, and correspondences), Hess argues that the school's community manifested a gendered, classed, and racialized space of ecological control, which rationalized early extraction (industrial metal production and agro-industrial grain processing) and romanticized the country's territorial expansion.
Feeling Senti-metal: Frontier Nostalgia, Mining Masculinity & Corporate Landscapes in the U.S. American Reality TV Series Gold Rush
Authors: Leech Brian James
Published: July 2023

In this article, Brian James Leech argues that the long-running American reality television series Gold Rush has hidden modern extraction behind a romanticized past in which white men were supposedly justified in their exploitation of distant lands. The spinoff series Gold Rush: Parker's Trail in particular has re-used an older colonial narrative about the Klondike gold rush to the Canadian Yukon. The show's sentimental portrayal of small groups of masculine prospectors obscures the fact that mining today is a highly-capitalized industrial affair run by massive global corporations. Gold Rush instead provides viewers with a mythic »frontier« landscape unburdened by supposedly modern trappings like global capital, a diverse workforce, or environmental concerns.

Archive zahlreicher österreichischer und tschechischer Klöster beherbergen heute einige der wertvollsten Abschriften von Instrumentalwerken Wagenseils, J. Haydns, Vanhals und Ditters'. Dieses Vermächtnis ist größtenteils das Resultat eines in den 1750er Jahren aufkommenden Trends, dessen von Wien ausgehende Breitenwirkung bislang unterschätzt wurde. Christiane Maria Hornbachner macht auf die musikgeschichtliche Relevanz interregionaler Distributionsprozesse aufmerksam. Sie zeichnet in ihrer institutionenübergreifenden Analyse die weitverzweigten Netzwerke von Klostervorstehern, Mönchen, Komponisten und Kunsthändlern nach. Deren nachhaltiges Wirken als Musikvermittler lässt tief in die klösterliche Lebenswelt des 18.

Dabei zeigen sich je nach politischem System deutliche Abweichungen: Autokratien nutzen Proxys als »Puffer« gegenüber Demokratien, um für ihre Taten nicht belangt zu werden. Für Demokratien dagegen können Berichte privater IT-Unternehmen »Täter-Wissen« kommunizieren sowie Handlungsdruck infolge politischer Verantwortungszuweisungen reduzieren.

BACKGROUND: Cardiomyopathies that occur de novo in relation to pregnancy or childbirth have diverse etiologies, although they are uncommon, they contribute substantially to maternal morbidity and mortality. In addition, during gestation there are hemodynamic changes that could make hidden heart disease manifest and produce ventricular remodeling with the consequent appearance of persistent or transient structural heart disease. Currently, there is little data on the prevalence of heart disease that occurs during or after pregnancy; for this reason it is of utmost importance to know the cardiovascular diseases related to this period. CASE REPORT: A 26-year-old female patient, who during her late puerperium, after her first pregnancy, terminated by cesarean section due to preeclampsia with severity criteria, presented signs and symptoms of heart failure. After evaluation, ischemic causes were ruled out, maintaining a high diagnostic suspicion of peripartum cardiomyopathy, based on the absence of a history of heart disease prior to pregnancy, the presence of preeclampsia during gestation and the clinical presentation associated with the puerperium; however, after searching for the etiology by cardiac imaging studies, suggestive data of left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy was reported. EVOLUTION: After definitive diagnosis was made, optimal medical therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction was established. The patient presented a favorable evolution, with symptomatic improvement and decrease of clinical and radiological signs of pulmonary congestion and was discharged with the same pharmacotherapy and indications for outpatient monitoring. CONCLUSION: In this case we are dealing with a patient with no cardiac pathology prior to pregnancy, who debuted with symptoms of heart failure in the late puerperium. Although imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, the case should be closely followed up due to the probability of reversible ventricular trabeculations associated with pregnancy and not a noncompacted left ventricular cardiomyopathy per se. Given the difficulty for diagnosis and identification of the etiology, the pathology should be studied exhaustively, especially in patients with a high probability of presenting trabeculations as part of adaptive remodeling.

Published: July 2023

Background: Hirschsprung’s Disease is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of ganglionic cells in the colon, causing loss of peristaltic movement in the bowel. Most cases are diagnosed before the age of one and marked by the delayed passage of meconium, vomiting, and distended abdomen. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old boy with an atypical presentation of malnutrition and developmental delay as a complication of Hirschsprung’s Disease. Case Presentation: A 2-year-old boy who presented with abdominal distention and chronic constipation was referred to our hospital. Past personal history revealed that he frequently suffered from the symptoms but was previously diagnosed with regular constipation and only consumed symptomatic medication. On admission, his vital signs were all normal, but his appearance was pale and weak. Growth and developmental screening showed poor growth status and developmental delay in all four domains. From the physical examination, gross abdominal distention was found and the rectal examination demonstrated a tight anal sphincter, empty rectal vault, and a green-colored stool with no forceful expulsion. Radiologic and histopathological findings suggested Hirschsprung’s disease. Conclusion: Chronic abdominal distention followed by malnutrition and developmental delay can present as a complication of hirschsprung’s diseasein older children. Due to these subtle signs and symptoms, a thorough examination and proper diagnostic algorithm are

Extreme climate change makes the situation and environmental conditions uncertain, causing the painting practice lecture process to be less than optimal. Weather that tends to be cloudy has the potential to damage the paint from student practicum results. Referring to these problems, in this research an LPG-assisted automatic paint dryer was made as the solution offered. The purpose of this research is to make an oven to support the acceleration of drying of student paint. This research is a design type, which is carried out to support effective and efficient learning in accordance with the planned learning series. The instruments used in this study were: (1) paint drying oven machine assessment sheet; and (2) the target audience's response questionnaire. Indicators of research success are based on process and results. This smart oven based on electronic control module is very suitable to be used as a tool in improving the quality of painting results, especially in automotive painting. Making a smart oven based on electronic control of this module does not require too much money and is very easy to understand in operating the system because of the simplicity of how the oven machine system works. Questionnaire responses of students who have used smart ovens show results that agree and strongly agree with the existence of this smart oven.
The Camden Merritt, New Jersey’s Premier Nineteenth-Century Baseball Team
Authors: Gerlach Larry
Published: July 2023

With the emergence of baseball as America’s national sporting pastime, Camden civic and business leaders decided in 1881 to organize a professional team. This article examines the brief but spectacular history of the Albert Merritt Base Ball Club, one of the best minor league teams of the nineteenth century. Examined are the social and economic reasons for organizing a professional team, the unique founding of the club, the construction of a playing facility, and team finances including player salaries. The 1883 Merritt, which advanced every player to the major leagues, was a juggernaut, dominating the inaugural season of the Inter-State Association, one of two officially organized minor leagues. But despite success on the field with a 27-8 (.771) record, the team suddenly disbanded on July 21. The case study of the promise and perils of professional baseball as a civic and community enterprise culminates in a discussion of the club’s demise because of internal financial problems and inability to compete with two major league teams across the Delaware River in Philadelphia.

Patriotism and Protest: Joseph T. Angelo and the Bonus March
Authors: Papas Phillip , Rotunda Michele
Published: July 2023

Joseph T. Angelo quit a well-paid job at the DuPont Powder Works in Carney’s Point, New Jersey, to join the army. On September 26, 1918, he saved the life of then Lt. Colonel (temporary) George S. Patton Jr., an act that earned him the Distinguished Service Cross and provided him with a lifetime of minor renown. By 1931, during the Great Depression, Angelo was unemployed. He walked 160 miles to Washington, DC, from his hometown of Camden, New Jersey, to testify in front of Congress in support of immediate payment of the wartime bonuses promised to veterans of World War I. The following summer, he was among the Bonus Marchers who were brutally driven out of their encampments in the nation’s capital by the same U.S. military in which they had served during wartime.

This article tells Angelo’s story, and by doing so, it tells the story of the tens of thousands of desperate veterans of the Great War who united to form an ethnically and racially diverse movement to protest for what they believed was right and just. They had made sacrifices to defend American values on the battlefield and now sought to be treated in a manner they saw as fair.
John Vought and the Preservation Paradox
Authors: Sherblom Donald
Published: July 2023

The War for Independence was both an intercontinental war and a civil war between Patriot rebels and Loyalists. Some colonists, “disaffected” with the war, sought to remain neutral. Especially in the middle colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, the tripartite division of the population meant Patriot rebels were often an embattled minority. About two-thirds of New Jersey’s population did not support the rebellion. This raises a preservation paradox. Today, almost all preserved sites are Patriot rebel sites, which promotes a popular, simplistic narrative. The dominant story of the American Revolution overlooks both the fact that Patriot rebels were often in the minority and that most Loyalists were people of integrity, no less than their opponents. The complexity of the revolutionary experience is swept from memory. The story of America’s first civil war can best be told where Loyalists are interpreted as protagonists and as actual people not misguided cyphers. Yet today in all of New Jersey, only two homes, Marlpit Hall in Monmouth County and the Vought House in Hunterdon, are interpreted as Loyalist sites. Tracing the experiences of the Vought family broadens our perspective and complicates our understanding of this crucial time and place. As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we are challenged to present a fuller, more nuanced account of those who were disaffected, remained loyal, or took up arms, often alongside British and Hessians troops as uniformed New Jersey Volunteers. A more balanced account may also increase appreciation of the hardships faced by Patriot rebels and New Jersey’s distinctive place at the crossroads of continental war and the epicenter of civil conflict.
The Rediscovered 20th Century Boy Scout Dust Jacket Artwork of New Jersey Pulp Artist Chris Schaare
Authors: Moskowitz David
Published: July 2023

Christian Richard “Dick” Schaare Jr. (pronounced Shar) was arguably New Jersey’s most prolific and perhaps greatest pulp artist of the 20th century. His iconic artwork would grace hundreds of book covers, dust jackets, comic books, magazines, cigar boxes, calendars, milk cartons, and advertisements for more than 40 years from the 1920s to the 1960s. His pulp fiction artwork is well-known except for 18 dust jackets commissioned by the A. L. Burt Company for their Boy Scout fiction series books published in the mid to late 1920s. That he illustrated these dust jackets, brimming with action, adventure, and drama, has been largely forgotten by time, but they highlight his iconic pulp fiction style early in his career.

Unsuccessful Attempts at the Incorporation of Cities in the District Duchy of Greater Poland in the 13th Century
Authors: Górczak Zbyszko
Published: July 2023

In the second half of the 13th century, the process of incorporation or institution of cities (a.k.a. the process of granting municipal rights) under German law began in Greater Poland. By 1314, i.e. until the end of the existence of a separate district duchy of Greater Poland, 51 successful city incorporations were carried out in its area, by princes and clerical as well as secular feudal lords At the same time, there were also 8 unsuccessful incorporation initiatives (14%). An unsuccessful settlement is a settlement that did not lead to the creation of a town or a settlement that had to be repeated after some time, especially with the consent of another ruler or another settlement owner. The article discusses these failed ventures while attempting to analyse the specific reasons for the failures. The following factors or their combinations can be pointed out: periodic unrest and political instability in the region, limiting the circle of potential settlers only to newcomers from abroad (with the exclusion of the locals), unclear legal and ownership status of the settlement being incorporated, competition from a nearby, stronger center, lack of sufficient support from the feudal owner (especially in the case of clerical and private feudals). At this early stage in the development of urban life, it is also possible to see a clear advantage of monarchical incorporations, which usually had a greater chance of success and further successful development. A similar distribution of unsuccessful and successful granting of municipal rights to towns (15%) has been noted by the literature in medieval Silesia.
