Prezident republiky a eroze liberální demokracie – zahraničněpolitické aspekty
Authors:   Právnická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy, Bednář Marcel 
Published: April 2024

The decline of democratic structures and institutions is an extremely important topic these days. It also concerns the head of state, afterall, the President can easily turn from the defender of democracy and constitutionality into a constitutional player who not only does not fulfill his role, but also contributes significantly to the erosion of liberal democracy or is even the cause of decline and crisis. This contribution analysis the exercise of the foreign policy powers of the President of the Czech Republic, Miloš Zeman, in the last year (from hospitalization in October 2021 until today) and aims to offer answers to the question of whether the President contributes to the erosion of liberal democracy in the Czech Republic through his activities in the field of foreign policy. The author concludes that the President did contribute to the erosion of liberal democracy in the Czech Republic, especially by treating unconstitutional procedures, e.g.the case of the (non)appointment of Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský or the so-called „guaranteeofimpunity“ which is considered the unconstitutional abolition profuturo. Although it is argued that The President contributed to the erosion of liberal democracy, according to the author it cannot be stated that the President was the cause of the crisis or decline. This is becasue the constitutional errors described lack intensity.

Published: April 2024

Background and Purpose: This study explores teachers' influence on families' vaccination decisions and the role of schools in health education. It aims to identify factors shaping teachers' attitudes toward vaccines and their decision-making when vaccinating their children. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior, the research examines educators' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control about vaccination choices. It provides insights into the crucial role of schools and teachers in promoting vaccination and enhancing vaccine acceptance in society.

Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed to analyze the data in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to teachers in three states in Malaysia, namely Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan. Out of the total 400 questionnaires distributed, only 326 were found suitable for analysis after the screening process. The data were then analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method.

Findings: The study reveals a significant link between teachers' attitudes toward vaccinating children and a connection between subjective norms and parents' vaccination intentions. These findings support previous research, underscoring the influence of attitudes and subjective norms on vaccination decisions. However, no significant relationship was found between perceived behavior control and parents' intention to vaccinate, suggesting that parents' beliefs about accessing vaccines or overcoming barriers have a limited impact on their vaccination intentions. In addition, Perceived policy effectiveness positively influenced parents' vaccination intentions.

Contributions: This study enhances understanding teachers' vaccination intentions, informing evidence-based policies to promote vaccination and address barriers. Recognizing the factors influencing teachers' decision-making, targeted interventions can enhance vaccination rates and improve public health outcomes.

Keywords: Vaccine acceptance, teachers' vaccination intentions, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behaviour control.

Published: April 2024

Background and Purpose: The teaching profession is recognized as a high-intensity and high-stress occupation, and teachers’ professional well-being is being greatly challenged. To enhance teachers' professional well-being, researchers have begun to explore influence mechanisms from the perspective of leadership style. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of principals' spiritual leadership on primary and secondary school teachers' professional well-being in the Chinese context.

Methodology: The data in this study was analysed using a cross-sectional survey approach. Questionnaires were distributed to school teachers in Heze City, Shandong Province. Eventually, 380 participants were identified to be suitable for study. The data were analysed using IBM SPSS and SmartPLS 4.0.9.5 software, specifically adopting the partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach.

Findings: The results indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between spiritual leadership, career calling, and teachers' professional well-being, and that career calling mediated the relationship between spiritual leadership and teachers' professional well-being.

Contributions: The findings are valuable for school organizational management. It helps to the positive role of spiritual leadership of principals and enhances teachers' calling, thus improving their professional well-being. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying the causal relationships between spiritual leadership, career calling, and teachers' professional well-being.

The virus is out of the barn: the emergence of HPAI as a pathogen of avian and mammalian wildlife around the globe
Authors: Runstadler Jonathan A. , Puryear Wendy B. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has persisted as a One Health threat whose current circulation and impact are addressed in the companion Currents in One Health by Puryear and Runstadler, JAVMA, May 2024. Highly pathogenic avian influenza emerged as a by-product of agricultural practices and adapted to endemic circulation in wild bird species. Over more than 20 years, continued evolution in a complex ecology involving multiple hosts has produced a lineage that expanded globally over the last 2 years. Understanding the continued evolution and movement of HPAI relies on understanding how the virus is infecting different hosts in different contexts. This includes understanding the environmental factors and the natural ecology of viral transmission that impact host exposure and ultimately evolutionary trajectories. Particularly with the rapid host expansion, increased spillover to mammalian hosts, and novel clinical phenotypes in infected hosts, despite progress in understanding the impact of specific mutations to HPAI viruses that are associated with spillover potential, the threat to public health is poorly understood. Active research is focusing on new approaches to understanding the relationship of viral genotype to phenotype and the implementation of research and surveillance pipelines to make sense of the enormous potential for diverse HPAI viruses to emerge from wild reservoirs amid global circulation.
Stary Testament a religie. Impulsy dla teologicznej interpretacji pluralizmu religijnego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Opolski, Wydział Teologiczny, Kałuża Krystian 
Published: April 2024

In the search for an answer to the theological meaning of religious pluralism, biblical sources are of fundamental importance. The aim of the article is to find an answer to the question of whether the Old Testament provides any basis for considering the pluralism of religions existing in the world as a positive element of salvation history, which reached its imperishable fullness in the life and work of Jesus Christ. The analyses made confirm the view of God’s universal salvific plan and allow us to see the “pagan” religions as intended and willed by God; thus, the pluralism of religions in the Old Testament appears as de jure pluralism. This is not to say that the “pagan” religions are free from error, falsehood and depravity. Nevertheless, they are not merely the work of the human spirit, but grow out of God’s revelation through creation, are based on the Noachic covenant and constitute a space for divine action.
Problem wywodzenia zasad współczesnej etyki seksualnej z Pisma Świętego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Opolski, Wydział Teologiczny, Glombik Konrad 
Published: April 2024

One of the contemporary interdisciplinary approaches to questions of sexual ethics, which belongs to the theological perspective, is the problem of deriving its principles from the Bible. Although the issue is not new and is related to the more general issue of the biblical foundations of Christian ethics, it has recently become the subject of theological reflection inspired by the need to rethink its principles in the face of sexual scandals in the Church. This text outlines the importance of the problem in constructing the principles of contemporary sexual ethics based on biblical texts. The reflections were presented based on publications by Catholic and Protestant theologians. The first three points of this paper present different approaches to the issue of the biblical foundations of contemporary sexual ethics: historical, skeptical, and based on hermeneutics. The last part presents examples of controversial conclusions of the hermeneutical approach. This article is not polemical nor evaluative, but it is an outline and introduction to more complex issues, which require in-depth studies and analyses.

Introduction: The number of COVID-19 cases in Brazil has increased substantially in all regions of the country. The North and Northeastern region of Brazil has been severely affected by COVID-19, with high mortality rates. The first case of COVID-19 in northeastern Brazil was confirmed in the state of Bahia. The state is also the largest in the region in terms of area and population size. The study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of incidence and mortality rates due to COVID-19 in the state of Bahia, Brazil.
Methods: An observational study was carried out with COVID-19 data accumulated on May 16, 2020. Global and local Moran statistics and spatial scan statistics were used.
Results: Between March 6, 2020 and May 16, 2020 there were 8,288 confirmed cases and 284 deaths (1.9/100,000) of COVID-19 in Bahia state. Over that time frame the incidence risk of disease was 55,7 (95%CI 54,1-58,2) per 100,000 individuals at risk. The mortality rate is 1.9 per 100,000 (95%CI 1,81-1.98). The spatial scan statistics identified five high-risk clusters for incidence rate, among which cluster 1 stood out, with 86 municipalities. This cluster accounts for 85.24% of all cases registered in the state, and it has a RR of 10.6.
Conclusion: The study showed heterogeneous distribution of occurrence and death in Bahia, with areas of higher relative risk in the east and south. Actions to fight the disease in the state must take into account the risk areas identified in the study.

The Body, the Brain, the Environment, and Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Dorsey E. Ray , De Miranda Briana R. , Horsager Jacob , Borghammer Per 
Published: April 2024

The brain- and body-first models of Lewy body disorders predict that aggregated alpha-synuclein pathology usually begins in either the olfactory system or the enteric nervous system. In both scenarios the pathology seems to arise in structures that are closely connected to the outside world. Environmental toxicants, including certain pesticides, industrial chemicals, and air pollution are therefore plausible trigger mechanisms for Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Here, we propose that toxicants inhaled through the nose can lead to pathological changes in alpha-synuclein in the olfactory system that subsequently spread and give rise to a brain-first subtype of Lewy body disease. Similarly, ingested toxicants can pass through the gut and cause alpha-synuclein pathology that then extends via parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways to ultimately produce a body-first subtype. The resulting spread can be tracked by the development of symptoms, clinical assessments, in vivo imaging, and ultimately pathological examination. The integration of environmental exposures into the brain-first and body-first models generates testable hypotheses, including on the prevalence of the clinical conditions, their future incidence, imaging patterns, and pathological signatures. The proposed link, though, has limitations and leaves many questions unanswered, such as the role of the skin, the influence of the microbiome, and the effects of ongoing exposures. Despite these limitations, the interaction of exogenous factors with the nose and the gut may explain many of the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease and open the door toward the ultimate goal –prevention.
Association of hypermagnesemia at birth and admission hypothermia in pre-term infants: A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study
Authors: Caldas J.P.de Siqueira , Junqueira E.de Almeida Orro , de Camargo J Fernandes , Marba S.T.M. 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Hypothermia on admission is associated with increased mortality in preterm infants. Drugs administered to pregnant women is implicated in its occurrence. Since magnesium sulfate has a myorelaxant effect, we aimed evaluating the association of hypermagnesemia at birth and admission hypothermia (axillary temperature <36.5°C) in preterm infants. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study database including inborn infants <34 weeks, without congenital malformations. Hypermagnesemia was considered if the umbilical magnesium level > 2.5 mEq/L. Maternal and neonatal variables were used to adjust the model, submitted to the multivariate hierarchical modelling process. RESULTS: We evaluated 249 newborns with median birth weight and gestational age of 1375 (IQR 1020–1375) g and 31 (IQR 28–32) weeks, respectively. Hypermagnesemia occurred in 28.5% and admission hypothermia occurred in 28.9%. In the univariate analysis, the following variables were identified as being associated with admission hypothermia: hypermagnesemia (OR 3.71; CI 2.06–6.68), resuscitation (OR 2.39; CI 1.37–4.19), small to gestational age (OR 1.91; CI1.03–3.53), general anesthesia (OR 3.34; CI 1.37–8.13), birth weight (OR 0.998; CI 0.998–0.999) and gestational age (OR 0.806; CI 0.725–0.895). In the hierarchical regression model, hypermagnesemia remained independent associated with admission hypothermia (OR 3.20; CI 1.66–6.15), as well as birth weight (OR 0.999; CI 0.998–0.999) and tracheal intubation (3.83; CI 1.88–7.80). CONCLUSION: Hypermagnesemia was associated with an increased risk of admission hypothermia, as did tracheal intubation and lower birth weight.
Evaluation of systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of early onset neonatal sepsis in very low birth weight infants
Authors: Cakir U. , Tayman C. 
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Previously, not six systemic inflammatory indices were evaluated in the diagnosis of early onset sepsis (EOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500g) premature infants. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the effectiveness of systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of EOS in VLBW infants. METHODS: Premature infants with birth weight <1500 g were included in the study. Six systemic inflammatory indices including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) were compared in patients with EOS (treatment group) and without EOS (control group). RESULTS: Of 917 infants enrolled, 204 infants were in the EOS group and 713 infants comprised the control group. NLR, MLR and SIRI values were significantly higher in the EOS group than in the control group (p < 0.001). The AUC value of SIRI for the predictivity of EOS was 0.803. CONCLUSIONS: The SIRI can be used together with other parameters as both an easily accessible and the reliable systemic inflammatory indices in the diagnosis of EOS in VLBW preterm infants.
Дослідження особливостей та напрямів розвитку корпоративної соціальної відповідальності агрохолдингу в умовах воєнногочасу
Authors: Чорна О. Ю. , Сбітнєва К. І. 
Published: April 2024

У статті досліджено сутність поняття та основні складові корпоративної соціальної відповідальності (далі КСВ) з позиції загальноіснуючих теоретичних поглядів вітчизняних та зарубіжних науковців, надано визначення КСВ агрохолдингу. Обгрунтовано особливості і значення КСВ вітчизняних агрохолдингів для суспільства. Зазначено, що в умовах воєнного стану взаємодія з місцевими громадами стає ще більш важливою, оскільки стабільність та розвиток регіонів тісно пов'язані із КСВ агрохолдингів і підприємств. Ініціативи, спрямовані на соціальну підтримку та розвиток, сприяють позитивному впливу на імідж компанії та її стосунки зі споживачами, інвесторами та іншими зацікавленими сторонами. Такий підхід підкреслює необхідність взаємодії між підприємствами та громадами для спільного досягнення сталого розвитку.
З метою апробації дослідження у статті проведено оцінку корпоративної соціальної відповідальності та тенденції розвитку на ПрАТ «Миронівський хлібопродукт» (далі ПрАТ «МХП»), одного з найбільших українських виробників та експортерів сільськогосподарської продукції, що займає вагому конкурентну позицію на вітчизняному ринку. Проаналізовано впроваджувані агрохолдингом ПрАТ «МХП» проєкти соціальної відповідальності та підкреслено, що компанія активно впроваджує інноваційні стратегії, спрямовані на підтримку місцевих громад та їх сталий розвиток. Проведене дослідження довело, що стале зростання доходів агрохолдинга «МХП» протягом попередніх періодів створило міцний фундамент для забезпечення її активної КСВ та концентрації на соціальній складовій сталого розвитку в умовах воєнного стану. Попри повномасштабну війну та зменшення доходів у 2022 р. КСВ ПраТ «МХП» попри все почала набирати обертів, що свідчить про високу соціальну відповідальність агрохолдингу та гуманізм.
Здійснено аналіз вимог до КСВ в вітчизняному суспільстві та розроблено рекомендації щодо розширення соціальних програм, підвищення прозорості та співпраці з урядовими та громадськими структурами, які в подальшому сприяють сталому розвитку агрохолдингу і суспільсва.
