The Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome-associated Foot Pain using a Poron Insole, a Sponge Upper Padding, and a Post-operative Shoe: A Case Report
Authors: Chang Min Cheol , Boudier-Revéret Mathieu , Park In Sik , Choo Yoo Jin
Published: July 2022

Background:

Pain from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is frequently refractory to various treatment methods. Here, we present a case wherein foot pain from CRPS I was managed by applying an insole made from poron (a soft polyurethane foam and highly absorbent material for shock reduction), a sponge upper padding, and a post-operative shoe.

Case Presentation:

A 47-year-old female patient with CRPS I on her left foot complained of pain for a few months, which was aggravated while standing and walking [numeric rating scale (NRS): 8]. She had a history of a linear fracture in the distal portion of the left 1st metatarsal bone 5 months ago, and the pain from CRPS started 2 months after the fracture. We believed that the aggravated pain during standing and walking was allodynia. We utilized a poron insole, a sponge upper padding, and a post-operative shoe to reduce the pressure and friction loading on her left foot. 1 month after this intervention, the patients’ pain during standing and walking was found to have reduced from NRS 8 to NRS 3. At her 3- and 6-month follow-ups, the degree of pain was sustained at NRS 3.

Conclusion:

We believe that the reduction of allodynia using materials, which can absorb mechanical pressure and friction of the foot, can help manage pain from CRPS.

Dampak Adanya Kelembagaan Pertanian terhadap Keputusan Petani dalam Penggunaan Kartu Tani di Kabupaten Jember
Authors: Fanani Ahmad , Zainuddin Ahmad , , Desfaryani Rini
Published: July 2022

Kartu Tani dibagikan kepada petani di Kabupaten Jember sejak tahun 2019, namun pemanfaatan kartu tani tersebut masih terbatas oleh petani. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh peran kelembagaan pertanian di Kabupaten Jember yang masih kurang. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis dampak adanya kelembagaan pertanian terhadap keputusan petani dalam menggunakan kartu tani di Kabupaten Jember. Sampel yang digunakan adalah 60 petani yang terdiri atas 48 petani pengguna kartu tani dan 12 petani non pengguna yang diambil dengan menggunakan metode cluster sampling, dimana sampel yang digunakan tersebar di tiga kecamatan yaitu Kecamatan Ambulu, Wuluhan dan Balung. Analisis data menggunakan analisis regresi logistik biner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa umur berpengaruh nyata dengan tanda negatif terhadap keputusan petani, sedangkan variable dummy adanya kelompok tani, variable dummy adanya kelembagaan pengairan, pendidikan petani, variabel dummy pengetahuan kegunaan kartu tani, dan pengalaman petani berpengaruh signifikan dan positif terhadap keputusan petani dalam memanfaatkan kartu tani. Perlu adanya sosialisasi penggunaan kartu tani melalui kelembagaan pertanian seperti kelompok tani agar penggunaan kartu tani semakin meningkat.
Investigating Linkages Between Spatiotemporal Patterns of the COVID-19 Delta Variant and Public Health Interventions in Southeast Asia: Prospective Space-Time Scan Statistical Analysis Method
Authors: Luo Wei , Liu Zhaoyin , Zhou Yuxuan , Zhao Yumin , Li Yunyue Elita , Masrur Arif , Yu Manzhu
Published: July 2022

Background

The COVID-19 Delta variant has presented an unprecedented challenge to countries in Southeast Asia (SEA). Its transmission has shown spatial heterogeneity in SEA after countries have adopted different public health interventions during the process. Hence, it is crucial for public health authorities to discover potential linkages between epidemic progression and corresponding interventions such that collective and coordinated control measurements can be designed to increase their effectiveness at reducing transmission in SEA.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to explore potential linkages between the spatiotemporal progression of the COVID-19 Delta variant and nonpharmaceutical intervention (NPI) measures in SEA. We detected the space-time clusters of outbreaks of COVID-19 and analyzed how the NPI measures relate to the propagation of COVID-19.

Methods

We collected district-level daily new cases of COVID-19 from June 1 to October 31, 2021, and district-level population data in SEA. We adopted prospective space-time scan statistics to identify the space-time clusters. Using cumulative prospective space-time scan statistics, we further identified variations of relative risk (RR) across each district at a half-month interval and their potential public health intervention linkages.

Results

We found 7 high-risk clusters (clusters 1-7) of COVID-19 transmission in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia between June and August, 2021, with an RR of 5.45 (P<.001), 3.50 (P<.001), 2.30 (P<.001), 1.36 (P<.001), 5.62 (P<.001), 2.38 (P<.001), 3.45 (P<.001), respectively. There were 34 provinces in Indonesia that have successfully mitigated the risk of COVID-19, with a decreasing range between –0.05 and –1.46 due to the assistance of continuous restrictions. However, 58.6% of districts in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines saw an increase in the infection risk, which is aligned with their loosened restrictions. Continuous strict interventions were effective in mitigating COVID-19, while relaxing restrictions may exacerbate the propagation risk of this epidemic.

Conclusions

The analyses of space-time clusters and RRs of districts benefit public health authorities with continuous surveillance of COVID-19 dynamics using real-time data. International coordination with more synchronized interventions amidst all SEA countries may play a key role in mitigating the progression of COVID-19.

Published: July 2022

Background

Communicating strategically is a key issue for health organizations. Over the past decade, health care communication via social media and websites has generated a great deal of studies examining different realities of communication strategies. However, when it comes to systematic reviews, there is fragmentary evidence on this type of communication.

Objective

The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the evidence on web institutional health communication for public health authorities to evaluate possible aim-specific key points based on these existing studies.

Methods

Guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement, we conducted a comprehensive review across 2 electronic databases (PubMed and Web of Science) from January 1, 2011, to October 7, 2021, searching for studies investigating institutional health communication. In total, 2 independent researchers (AN and SS) reviewed the articles for inclusion, and the assessment of methodological quality was based on the Kmet appraisal checklist.

Results

A total of 78 articles were selected. Most studies (35/78, 45%) targeted health promotion and disease prevention, followed by crisis communication (24/78, 31%), general health (13/78, 17%), and misinformation correction and health promotion (6/78, 8%). Engagement and message framing were the most analyzed aspects. Few studies (14/78, 18%) focused on campaign effectiveness. Only 23% (18/78) of the studies had an experimental design. The Kmet evaluation was used to distinguish studies presenting a solid structure from lacking studies. In particular, considering the 0.75-point threshold, 36% (28/78) of the studies were excluded. Studies above this threshold were used to identify a series of aim-specific and medium-specific suggestions as the communication strategies used differed greatly.

Conclusions

Overall, the findings suggest that no single strategy works best in the case of web-based health care communication. The extreme variability of outcomes and the lack of a unitary measure for assessing the end points of a specific campaign or study lead us to reconsider the tools we use to evaluate the efficacy of web-based health communication.

Internet-based Technology to Recruit and Engage Community-based Women in an Online Yoga Intervention: A Pilot Study of African-American/Black Women with High Cardiovascular Risk (Preprint)
Authors: Johnson Candace , Thacker Leroy , Ezouah Pascaline
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Highly disproportionate heart health outcomes are seen in African-American (Black) women. Black women experience the highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and they are at high risk for premature death from cardiovascular diseases and related conditions including complications from type 2 diabetes. Web-based videos show promise for engaging Black women in health information-seeking and health behavior change.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to provide feasibility and acceptability data for a larger, mixed-methods longitudinal study focused on cardiometabolic risk factors in community-dwelling Black women.

METHODS

The 4-week, single-group pilot study was underpinned by Pender’s Health Promotion Model and involved in-home assessments of MetS risk, sedentary levels, and daily engagement with health education and yoga YouTube® videos. Participants self-monitored their health behaviors with Fitbit activity trackers, web-based activity logs, and electronic blood pressure monitors. Two post-intervention focus groups were convened to elicit from participants contextual meaning regarding the benefits and barriers to engaging with the intervention.

RESULTS

The pilot results informed data collection procedures and supported the ability to recruit and retain participants. The qualitative results provided preliminary insights into study engagement and adherence. Study completion was associated with interacting with 2 or more components of the multiple risk factor intervention, (χ2 7.14, p=.008). Watching more than 50% of the intervention videos and taking daily blood pressures were associated with completing the study, (χ2 4.39, p=.04 and χ2 5.67, p=.02, respectively). Wearing activity trackers only or completing online surveys only were not associated with intervention engagement, (χ2 3.60, p=.06 and χ2 .392, p=.53, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings indicated Black women’s willingness to participate in community-based research, highlighted the benefits and barriers of engaging technology to change health behaviors, and reinforced the significance of the future study.

Linking ethical leadership to employees' change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior: A multilevel moderated mediation model
Authors: Ye Shengchao , Yang Yuru , Wang Wei , Zhou Xinmiao
Published: July 2022

The importance of research related to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) regarding organizational change is increasingly evident. We focused on the significance of leaders' ethical cues and organizational climate that may help employees best cope with organizational change by stimulating their change-oriented OCB. Therefore, we explored the cross-level effect of ethical leadership on employee change-oriented OCB via the mediator of affective commitment to change and the moderator of ethical climate, using social exchange theory and cue consistency theory. Results show that ethical leadership was positively related to change-oriented OCB through affective commitment to change, and that this indirect relationship was amplified by ethical climate. Thus, ethical leadership and ethical climate worked together to motivate employees toward affective commitment and provide support for change. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Aggression and anxiety influence the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and military morale among new recruits
Authors: Zhou Aibao , Yuan Yue
Published: July 2022

We explored the internal mechanism of military morale by examining the relationships of interpersonal sensitivity, aggression, anxiety, and military morale among newly recruited army soldiers. Participants (N = 718) completed a self-report survey measuring the focal variables.
The results indicate that military morale was negatively related to interpersonal sensitivity and aggression. Further, aggression played a mediating role in the relationship between interpersonal sensitivity and military morale, and the mediating effect of aggression was, in turn, moderated
by anxiety. Our study enriches the interpersonal model of military morale and has implications for interventions to improve military morale, such as training in reduction of interpersonal sensitivity or counseling for high interpersonal sensitivity to improve military morale, and avoiding
selecting individuals with high levels of interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, and aggression when recruiting soldiers.

COVID-19 AND SECURITIZATION OF ITS THREATS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Authors: Okpaleke Francis N. , Okoli Al Chukwuma , Abraham-Dukuma Magnus
Published: July 2022

The rapid spread of the novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a significant global health and economic concern. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), there is an emerging securitization of its perceived threats due to socio-economic inequities, inadequate healthcare systems, and the prevalence of diseases in the region. In other words, it is presented to the public as an existential threat with its attendant framings projecting a grim picture for COVID-19 hospitalization, mortality, morbidity, and pandemic response in SSA. We adopt a desk-based approach predicated on a critical exploration of securitization theory in examining SSA responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that COVID-19 securitization in Africa is exaggerated, with pessimistic generalizations that do not consider the local conditions and efforts by governments and the African Center for Disease Control in managing the pandemic. Rather than over-securitizing COVID-19 threats in SSA, we suggest that the region’s local realities, age structure, level of urbanization, self-help capabilities, socio-political contexts, and available resources be considered in any pandemic mitigation strategy.
A commitment to change? CEO pay and alignment with environmental, social, and governance objectives
Authors: Banyi Monica , Bull Schaefer Rebecca A.
Published: July 2022

In the 2019 Business Roundtable “Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation”, over two hundred executives committed to expanding the focus of their respective corporations beyond shareholder primacy. Following advice from agency theory, compensation committees traditionally seek to align executive pay with desired organizational outcomes. Our qualitative study examines whether the signatories made discernible changes to executive compensation structures to align executive incentives with a broader stakeholder view. We observe the compensation committee reports of 135 signatory firms’ proxy statements for the fiscal year ending 2020, to identify whether each firm’s incentive compensation structure included measures aligned with the firm’s commitment to a stakeholder focus. Nearly half of the sample firms continued to reward executives exclusively using measures to assess financial objectives, although thirteen made promises to include stakeholder corporate performance measures in their 2021 compensation programs. Although most leaders say they act in all stakeholder interests, we do not find evidence that these leaders are incentivized to implement the strategic and organizational changes to ensure their firms consider the environmental, social, and sustainable implications of their decisions. Future research should follow these firms’ financial performance to observe strategic consequences to action versus inaction to change.
Performance of functionals and basis sets in DFT calculation of organic compounds redox potentials
Authors: Prata-Duque Amilcar , Pinto Tiago , Serpa Carlos , Caridade Pedro
Published: July 2022

The performance of functionals and basis sets is evaluated using density
functional theory with polarized continuum model to calculate redox
potentials of small organic compounds in acetonitrile. Pople basis sets
6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-31G**, 6-31+G*, 6-31+G**, 6-31++G** and functionals at
different levels of the Jacob’s Ladder are studied: PW91, PBE, M06-L,
B3LYP, PBE0, M06-2X, CAM-B3LYP, $\omega$B97X-D3. It is
shown that performance studies should not be done considering oxidation
and reduction reactions together, but analyzing them separately.
Functional M06-2X has a more consistent and uniform response both in
reductions and oxidations and the presence of diffuse functions in the
basis sets is relevant to the accuracy of the predictions. The
computational effort against accuracy is also evaluated.
Novel molecules and target genes for vegetative heat tolerance in wheat.

Published: July 2022

To prevent yield losses caused by climate change it is important to
identify naturally tolerant genotypes with traits and related pathways
that can be targeted for crop improvement. Here we report on the
characterization of contrasting vegetative heat tolerance in two UK
bread wheat varieties. Under chronic heat stress, the heat-tolerant
cultivar Cadenza produced an excessive number of tillers which
translated into more spikes and higher grain yield compared to
heat-sensitive Paragon. RNAseq and metabolomics analyses revealed a set
of about 400 heat-responsive genes common to both genotypes. Only 71
genes showed a genotype x temperature interaction. As well as known
heat-responsive genes such as HSPs, several genes that have not been
previously linked to the heat response, particularly in wheat, have been
identified, including several dehydrins, a number of ankyrin-repeat
protein-encoding genes, and lipases. Over 5000 genotype-specific genes
were identified, including photosynthesis-related genes which might
explain the observed ability of Cadenza to maintain photosynthetic rate
under heat stress. Contrary to primary metabolites, secondary
metabolites showed a highly differentiated heat response and genotypic
differences. These included e.g., benzoxazinoid (DIBOA, DIMBOA) but in
particular phenylpropanoids and flavonoids with known radical scavenging
capacity, which was assessed via the DPPH assay. The most highly
heat-induced metabolite was (glycosylated) propanediol, which is widely
used in industry as an anti-freeze. To our knowledge this is the first
report on its response to stress in plants. The identified metabolites
and candidate genes provide novel targets for the development of heat
tolerant wheat.
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of fractional linear systems via C−semigroups
Authors: Lian Tingting , Fan Zhenbin , Li Gang
Published: July 2022

The approximate controllability of fractional linear evolution systems is
considered in this paper. Firstly, the definitions of the mild solution and
the approximate controllability of fractional linear evolution systems are
obtained by using the theory of C?semigroups. Secondly, a new set of
necessary and sufficient conditions are established to examine that linear
system is approximately controllable with the help of symmetric operator.
Moreover, the restricted condition of the state space is weakened by means
of the dual mapping. Finally, as applications, the approximate
controllability of nonlinear evolution systems are derived under the
assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately
controllable. Our work essentially improves and generalized the
corresponding results which are based on strongly continuous semigroups.

The purpose of this work is to prove the necessity and possibility of returning to the orthometric system of heights in Ukraine and to substantiate the ways of solving this problem. The method of achieving the goal is provided by theoretical studies of existing methods of astronomical and geodetic leveling, modern methods of forecasting neotectonic processes, GNSS accuracy and geometric leveling. The main results are: the requirements for the accuracy of gravimetric support of high-precision geometric leveling, both DGM of Ukraine and high-altitude network of geodynamic and man-made landfills. The theoretical possibility of determining orthometric heights for almost 90% of the territory of Ukraine with an accuracy of even 0.2 mm per 1 km of double stroke has been established. Scientific novelty and practical significance: it has been proved that even at the maximum values of GPP anomalies it is possible to consider orthometric and normal heights as segments of normal to the reference ellipsoid, as well as geometrical heights; if at astronomical and geodetic leveling to define a deviation of a temple with accuracy mθ_sr = 0,2 "(accuracy of modern zenith systems even 0,08"), it will bring an error in definition of a difference of orthometric heights of 0,2 mm on 1 km of the course if to determine this value from the available gravimetric maps of the deviation of the temple, this error will be 0.5-1 mm per 1 km of travel, which also corresponds to the leveling of even the first class; ; non-parallelism of equipotential surfaces should be taken into account when the difference between the force of gravity on the equipotential surface of the initial point of travel and at the point of intersection of this surface with the normal at the end point of travel exceeds 2 mGal; the force of gravity at the leveling station and on the force line of the field at the end of the course, at a height corresponding to the height of the corresponding leveling station, must be known at the sum of excesses during 10 m per 1 km with an accuracy of only 20 mGal. m per 1 km - 2 mGala, therefore, the modern model EIGEN-CG03C (accuracy is estimated within 8 Mgal) in most of the plains of Ukraine can provide gravimetric data for the creation of state leveling networks and high-precision leveling during engineering and geodetic works and works on geodynamic and man-made landfills.

The aim of the work is to investigate the accuracy of the DEM of nearshore areas using UAV material. One of the important issues in hydrological flood modelling is the high accuracy of the DEM. In the case of a complex relief type, which is associated with meandering riverbeds, it is proposed to use UAV surveys to create a DEM. Hydrological modelling involves the following main steps: creation of high precision DEMs, determination of Manning coefficients to account for the influence of the underlying surface and determination of water level changes based on the water level graph derived from observations at hydrometeorological stations. This research presents the construction of a high-precision DEM, based on a UAV survey. For high-precision modeling, the fundamental issue is the consideration of vegetation in the nearshore areas and the choice of the optimal time period for the survey. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for the construction of a high-precision DEM from UAV data, investigate the possibilities of eliminating the influence of vegetation on point marks using software methods, determine planned channel shifts and compare the accuracy of DEM construction for surveys conducted in June 2017 and in November 2021. The section at the transition from the mountainous to marshy-hilly part of the Dniester River near the town of Stary Sambir, with complex morphometric and hydrological characteristics of the channel and banks at the site of the complex meandering of the river in a rugged ravine area was the study object of this work. Results. It was found that for 4 years between two surveys, the planned displacements of some points are up to 25-31 meters. A priori estimation of coordinates determination by points from the GNSS-receiver was carried out, the accuracy of point coordinates determination is 2-3 cm. The a priori estimate of the accuracy of determining the coordinates of points from the input survey data is: for plan coordinates - 4-6 cm for two survey periods, the error in determining the marks of points for different values of the baseline - 21-31 cm. It has been established, that the program methods of accounting of influence of high vegetation do not give the possibility of its full accounting, the average square error, in places of such vegetation makes 0,64 m. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out UAV survey in the leafless period of the year, early spring or late autumn. Scientific novelty consists in the study of the possibility of constructing a high-precision DEM for different types of vegetation from materials obtained from UAVs. The results can be used for hydrological modeling of river channels with complex hydromorphological characteristics.

Ancient maps and plans are important sources of information for multifaceted knowledge of the past. In many studies, the accuracy parameters of spatial data are in demand. The purpose of our work is to study the geometric accuracy of the Lviv plan 1894 by Józef Khovanec. The methodology for studying the accuracy assessment is based on the transformation and geometric analysis of sets of identical points in the ancient plan and the modern reference one. For such a transformation, the Helmert transformation with four parameters and multiquadratic interpolation methods are used. The obtained results make it possible to graphically visualize the inaccuracies of the old plan in the form of displacement vectors, scale and rotation isolines, which clearly territorially diversify the distortions of the cartographic image. Using the method of least squares, a value was obtained that characterizes the positional accuracy of the ancient plan. All calculations and illustrations were made in the MapAnalyst software package, which specializes in the cartometric analysis of old maps. The results of cartometric analysis are influenced by a number of different factors, the decisive ones for the study were the following: the quality of the original; selection of a set of identical items; interpolation technique. When choosing identical points, the main attention is paid to their uniform distribution over the entire area of the plan at a constant position in time. The results obtained represent only one of the possible mathematical models built on the basis of the input data. However, we consider the achieved results to be valid. The processed technique significantly speeds up and simplifies the study of the accuracy of old plans and can be used for similar studies of other cartographic works, and the obtained numerical results and graphic visualizations can be used to compare old plans with each other.

The aim of this work is to develop an algorithm for mathematical three-dimensional modeling of a typical roof of a Ukrainian church based on ground-based laser scanning and to find ways to optimize the model depending on the input data set. Method. The accuracy of the simulation depends on the laser scan data. The number of points obtained and their accuracy will affect the final result - 3D model of the roof. Given the typical design of the church roof in the shape of a cone, you can apply the standard mathematical algorithm for modeling part of the buildings of a typical church. Result The proposed algorithm was developed in the MathCad software environment. 3D scanning materials of the Ukrainian typical church were used to develop the mathematical algorithm. The algorithm analyzes the location of the scanning points of the church roof and performs its averaging. As a result of the algorithm, erroneous measurements were rejected and a model of the part of the roof was obtained, which forms the optimal geometry of the structure. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The proposed mathematical algorithm allows to automate some modeling processes of a typical Ukrainian church for design decisions. This method of modeling can be used for similar structures of other buildings.

Based on the analysis of published research results, the phenomenon of presenteeism is assessed as determining in the structure of economic costs of institutions for ensuring the health of workers, and among the causes of presenteeism, personal indicators and internal motives occupy a leading position. The problem of presenteeism as a phenomenon requires the development of methods to reduce it, prevent occupational risks, and create conditions for health-saving behavior.

English Question Formation in the Saudi context has received very little attention. To the best of our knowledge, there are two studies conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA): one looked at the difficulties Saudi students faced when constructing English questions with specific regard to wh and yes/no questions, and the primary problems associated with their difficulties (Al-Hassaani, 2016). Another study analyzed the errors Saudi EFL learners made when forming wh questions and the reasons behind making them (Addaibani, 2017). Therefore, this current study is seen as the first study that aims to analyze Saudi students’ errors in constructing tag questions (canonical tag questions), wh questions, and yes/ no questions at King Khalid University (KKU). It found out the reasons behind making such errors and the difficulties that they faced when forming these English question types. For achieving this study’s aims, a mixed-method research approach was employed, and data were collected from grammatical tests and interviews (open-ended interviews). Saudi students’ errors were examined by using the grammatical test in which they were required to generate wh, yes/no, and canonical tag questions. Further, to examine Saudi students’ difficulties and causes of making errors, the researcher conducted open-ended interviews. After reaching out to the findings of this study, it showed disagreement with similar previous studies. First, the most difficult English type in terms of formation was wh questions, including the highest number of errors in the “Wrong Wh Question Word” category. Then tag questions (canonical tag questions) came to be in the second rank of difficulty, and “Mis-formation Alternating Forms” was the highest category of errors. Lastly, yes/no questions were the easiest ones for Saudi EFL learners, and the common type was the “Wrong Auxiliary” category. This current study has also revealed that some of the students’ errors were due to lack of practice and community as affected reasons, and intensive curriculum and unqualified teachers as less affected reasons.
Tabātabā’i: Theory of Iʿtibāriyyāt and His Political Philosophy
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Olamaiekopaie Maryam , Arzroomchilar Ehsan ,   University of West Bohemia

Tabātabā'i is one of the greatest philosophers in the contemporary Islamic world. In this paper, his significant contribution to Islamic philosophy, namely the theory of iʿtibāriyyāt, is discussed. He divides all knowledge into two categories; haqīqī, originating from the external world, and iʿtibārī, constructed out of human needs. The latter kind of knowledge is unreal in the sense that it originates from the soul rather than from the world. Yet it is real in the sense that its effects are visible in the world. Iʿtibāriyyāt can be further classified into categories. More importantly, they are formulated in terms of either being formed before a society is established, i.e., pre-society iʿtibāriyyāt, or being formed when there is already a society around, i.e., post-society iʿtibāriyyāt. The following section of the paper presents the application of Tabātabā'i’s theory in the context of his political philosophy. As we will explain, he seems to favour a religious regulating system when it comes to the content of laws. In contrast, he seems open to a non-religious form of political system insofar as he sympathizes with democracy.
Reciprocita a reprodukce sociálního kapitálu v kontextu kmotrovských vazeb

This study focuses on the role of godparenthood in building social capital in Europe during the 19th century. It seeks to explain how social capital was reproduced in horizontal and vertical ties and what role reciprocity played. However, reciprocity is viewed primarily in the narrow context of social capital theory. Texts on godparenthood usually point to relationships based purely on utilitarian grounds. They typically lack support in social science theory and the terminology used is rarely discussed in detail. Drawing on basic texts from social capital theory or anthropology and history (in the case of godparenthood), the aim of the present text is to outline how social capital can be practically built through godparent relationships. In the introductory section, the basic structure of the reciprocity process is presented. The following passages focus specifically on the application of reciprocity in godparent relationships. The paper first seeks to answer a question that follows quite organically from the previous theoretical introduction. How is it possible that the so-called integrative ties (trust or solidarity) developed based on godparent ties, which were often purposively concluded and characterised by a negotiated and fully institutionalised type of exchange?
K otázce adaptace lexému instagram v českém a francouzském jazyce

One of the new social media attracting people's attention is Instagram which has become a medium for photo and video sharing. The aim of the study is to classify and describe the type of word formation on the name Instagram using the word formation theory proposed by Sablayrolles, and to classify and analyze new words formed from the lexeme Instagram or from the fracto-lexeme insta- in the Czech language and French language. The study maps neologisms in the Czech language captured in the Neomat online database and neologisms in the French language captured in the Néoveille web platform for neologisms. The search results are compared with lexemes found in the corpora Czech Web 2017 (csTenTen17) and French Web 2017 (frTenTen17), and Araneum Bohemicum III Maximum and Araneum Francogalicum III Maximum. The two most common ways of forming words in Czech and French are affixation and compounding. Czech and French words formed by the derivational process of affixation use either prefixes or suffixes, or both. In compounding, two roots or complete words are combined to make a new word. The main result of the analysis is a list of derived and compound words from the lexeme instagram in Czech and French.

Influence of the climatic factors on the mass flowering dates of Bulbocodium versicolor (Melanthiaceae) at the south-eastern border of its range

Under conditions of climate change, phenological studies of vegetation are of particular importance. Most of the current research are carried out in Protected Areas (PAs), network of phenological stations, agricultural lands, nurseries, and botanical gardens. Studies based on remote sensing data do not take into account the species diversity of the vegetation cover. This study is aimed to determine regularities of the timing of Bulbocodium versicolor mass flowering at the southeast border of its range. The studied B. versicolor population is located in the vicinity of the city Volgograd, which makes it available for research. At the same time, the B. versicolor population is under constant anthropogenic pressure. Understanding the phenological features of this species and regularities of the timing of mass flowering (the period of highest vulnerability) will allow us to organise the protection of the B. versicolor population during this period. The study is based on data about the beginning of mass flowering dates, obtained during surveys of 2007–2020 with a possible error of 2–7 days, as well as an archive of weather data of the Volgograd weather station. The average start date of mass flowering is 24 March ± 12 days. The range between the earliest and latest dates exceeds a month. We have found a statistically significant correlation between the start date of B. versicolor mass flowering and the date of snow cover destruction, as well as dates of stable transition of the maximum air temperature over 0°C, and the average daily temperature, over 0°C and over 3°C. Over the period 2007–2020, no statistically significant trends were found for either dates of B. versicolor mass flowering or dates of main meteorological phenomena. Almost every year, after the start of B. versicolor mass flowering, frosts occur on the soil and in the air, and snowfalls take place regularly. This may be one of the factors which cause a lower seed regeneration in this B. versicolor population compared to the ones located northward, since the temperature drop during the flowering period contributes to the depressive state of the B. versicolor population.
