The Impact of Emotionally Intelligent Academic Leadership on Faculty Members: Evidence from the Education System of India
Authors: George Tijo , Raghavendra A. N. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of emotionally intelligent academic leadership on faculty members’ organizational commitment and citizenship behaviour in selected colleges in south India. The data for the study is collected from 352 faculty members using a survey study approach and assessed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical results suggest that respondents’ perceptions of their academic leaders were more or less similar, and most of them rated self-awareness as the essential characteristic of emotional intelligence of their academic leaders. The findings demonstrate that most faculty members are dedicated to their organization and exhibit relatively high affective commitment compared to other aspects of organizational commitment. The relationship between emotionally intelligent leadership and faculty members’ organizational commitment is partially mediated by faculty members’ citizenship behaviour. This research contributes to the Indian academic system in developing strategies for academic leaders’ emotional growth and increasing the level of commitment and citizenship behaviour of faculty members.
Influence of Voltage Unbalance on the Solution of One Planning Model of Low-Voltage Distribution Networks
Authors: Softić Amir , Salkić Hidajet , Stojkov Marinko 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Considering that the need for electricity is constantly increasing, a crucial problem is the lack of new power facilities. Likewise, due to the large expansion of existing consumption, one of the primary tasks is the reconstruction of existing facilities. Due to their complexity, such problems cannot be solved unplanned, but the development of adequate system solutions must be planned. The biggest problem in finding such solutions is matching both companies and consumers needs. The best way to do this is to develop mathematical models that can meet the already mentioned needs. The development of such models is not a simple task, considering that the final solution is influenced by a number of factors, many of which have a random nature. Therefore, the use of stochastic optimization methods is imposed as a realistic basis for the development of such models, as it is the case in the model presented in this paper. Considering that voltage unbalance is one of the mentioned influential factors, this paper will give the answer to the question whether it has a significant impact on the final solution of the developed model.
A culturalist perspective to Russian international posture in XXI century
Authors: Stilo Alessio 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper is aimed at proposing an analysis of the Russian geopolitical self-perception in the light of a “culturalist” approach. The paper uses Samuel Huntington’s “model of civilizations” as an interpretative prism, following a multidisciplinary approach which allows to epistemologically validate certain points of the Huntingtonian thesis, and to reject others. This approach does not invalidate the neo-realist theories of international relations regarding the Russian search for a relative increase of power through the use of material factors. If anything, the culturalist perspective must be placed side by side with the neo-realist one in order to better grasp some intangible elements, in particular the attention paid by Moscow to its (former) imperial dimension, the influence exercised by the autocratic tradition on Russia’s international posture, together with the role of geographic space, the ascendency of the Orthodox church, as well as Eurasianist cultural inclinations. Finally, through a critical analysis and a selective review of the academic literature on these issues (as well as of the political texts published by some of the most prominent Russian politicians and intellectuals), the paper aims to demonstrate the self-perceived originality of the Russian model and its difficulty in being placed within the Western political categories.
“Apparently Forgotten Wars”. (Digital) Genocide, Information and the Construction of the Other in Postmodern Conflicts
Authors: Buoncompagni Giacomo 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a problematic reconstruction of the relationship between ethnic conflict, racial hatred, and media, focusing on the analysis of information flows and the social construction of the Other, as a public enemy, in war contexts. Through a socio-historical approach, analyzing sources offered by the press and international literature, we will examine the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994, where about one million people lost their lives in only 100 days. This case study is still particularly interesting today as an example of a timeless conflict, or rather of a 'forgotten (ethnic) war’
This expression refers to those conflicts that have profoundly marked humanity but have not received enough attention from the mass media. This is often the case for economic reasons, intrinsic to the information economy, as well as cultural issues and, to some extent, also because of the dependence of the media on the agenda dictated by politicians, who often choose to promote conflicts when there are special interests at stake.
Digital technologies have, however, partially limited the effects of this “forgetting.” Interconnection and digitization processes can sometimes transform the violent past into public memory, into pieces of shared history, so that the same mistakes are never made again.

Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Meat Part 1: Where did the STEC come from?
Authors: Josef Kameník , Marta Dušková , Kateřina Dorotíková 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The abbreviation STEC refers to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli serotypes. STEC includes subgroups of E. coli with many different characteristics and virulence factors. One of these subgroups is the EHEC (enterohemorrhagic) pathotype, which are the agents of haemorrhagic diarrhoea in humans. In addition to undercooked minced beef dishes (hamburgers), chopped meat products, unpasteurised milk, lettuce, cantaloupes, apple juice, and vegetables have all been reported as vehicles for STEC transmission. Outside the mammalian intestinal tract, intestinal bacteria are threatened by predatory protozoa. STEC strains carrying stx genes have developed a defence strategy based on the production of Shiga toxin able to kill eukaryotic cells. STEC pathogenesis in humans involves the initial adhesion of bacteria to the intestinal epithelium in the ileum and, later, colonisation of the colon with the production of the Shiga toxin. The barrier function of the epithelium and ion transport are disrupted, causing diarrhoea. A pathogenicity island called LEE (locus of enterocyte effacement) is a crucial genome segment for EHEC pathogenesis.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Since the 1960s, career success has been extensively studied from different angles. This paper aims to identify the main topics of interest covered by the literature throughout time frames defined based on the number of article citations. A Scopus database search was performed in November 2021, gathering 926 articles on career success that were analyzed in VOSviewer. The results show that several concepts were constant over the years, such as mentoring, mobility, income, education, gender, and culture, while other topics of interest were introduced more recently (e.g., career satisfaction, change, personality, networking, the link between the private and professional life, the relationship between objective and subjective career success). An understanding of historical career success research topics contributes to the development of future human resources strategies and policies.
Distributed Fusion Estimation for the Measurements with Bounded Disturbances
Authors: Shen Qiang , Li Can , Liu Jieyu , Li Xinsan , Wang Lixin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The information fusion problem is studied for multi-sensor systems in the presence of bounded disturbances. In this paper, a distributed fusion estimation algorithm is proposed based on the set-membership theory, which obtains the overall estimates based on multi-ellipsoids intersection. A parameter adaptive adjustment scheme is derived to guarantee the performance of the algorithm. The feedback mechanism is also introduced to enhance the estimation procedure. Through theoretical analysis and simulation, the performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed, and some interesting properties of the proposed algorithm are proved. Results show that the proposed algorithm improves the point estimation accuracy. Compared with the algorithm without feedback, the one with feedback has better local estimation. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in improving state estimation accuracy has been proved by the simulation results.
ISO Linear Calibration and Measurement Uncertainty of the Result Obtained With the Calibrated Instrument
Authors: Palenčár Jakub , Palenčár Rudolf , Chytil Miroslav , Wimmer Gejza , Wimmer Gejza , Witkovský Viktor 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
We address the problem of linear comparative calibration, a special case of linear calibration where both variables are measured with errors, and the analysis of the uncertainty of the measurement results obtained with the calibrated instrument. The concept is explained in detail using the calibration experiment of the pressure transducer and the subsequent analysis of the measurement uncertainties. In this context, the calibration and the measurements with the calibrated instrument are performed according to ISO Technical Specification 28037:2010 (here referred to as ISO linear calibration), based on the approximate linear calibration model and the application of the law of propagation of uncertainty (LPU) in this approximate model. Alternatively, estimates of the calibration line parameters, their standard uncertainties, the coverage intervals and the associated probability distributions are obtained using the Monte Carlo method (MCM) based on the law of propagation of distributions (LPD). Here we also obtain the probability distributions and the coverage interval for the quantities measured with the calibrated instrument. Furthermore, motivated by the model structure of this particular example, we conducted a simulation study that presents the empirical coverage probabilities of the ISO and MCM coverage intervals and investigates the influence of the sample size, i.e. the number of calibration points in the measurement range, and the different combinations of measurement uncertainties. The study generally confirms the good properties and validity of the ISO technical specification within the considered (limited) framework of experimental designs motivated by real-world application, with small uncertainties in relation to the measurement range. We also point out the potential weaknesses of this method that require increased user attention and emphasise the need for further research in this area.
Determination and Development of Definitions and Concepts of Hybrid Threats and Hybrid Wars: Comparison of Solutions at the Level of the European Union, NATO and Croatia
Authors: Mikac Robert 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Political, professional and academic circles, as well as the general public, are increasingly using different terms like hybrid threats and hybrid wars in everyday circumstances, describing different phenomena and processes. This trend became more prominent in Europe after the events in Ukraine in 2014, and it has especially been more emphasized since the attack of the Russian regime on Ukraine in 2022. For this reason, the central organisations of the European security architecture – the European Union and NATO, as well as their member states – pay more and more attention to research, conceptualisation and explanation of what different forms of hybrid dangers represent, what their scope is and how to effectively oppose them. This is a necessity because only by adequately addressing the problem and defining key definitions and concepts, the development of appropriate and effective response measures can be achieved. This paper aims to comparatively research and present the development of this area at the level of the European Union and the NATO Alliance, and specifically for Croatia, analyse the use of the relevant terms with a special focus on two terms: hybrid threats and hybrid wars. The first term, because it is the most general and most common hybrid term used, the second because it is the term with the strongest meaning and consequences. The research will represent an addition to the existing body of knowledge and will provide guidelines for the continued development of this field at the policy and academic levels. Also, the research will be significant for other countries and researchers in order to perceive the current status of the situation in the European Union, the NATO Alliance and Croatia as a member state of both organisations, and to be able to compare the challenges and solutions in their countries.
Nomination of Ministers According to the Areas of Electoral Support for Political Parties in Elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic
Authors: Dvořák Petr , Pink Michal 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Following identification of the areas of electoral support for the ruling parties since 1996 and subsequent analysis of the selection of ministers by each party, it was found that centre-right parties nominated more ministers from their areas of electoral support, mainly from Prague and other large cities. On the other hand, left-wing parties nominated ministers from similar areas to centre-right parties, even if they did not draw their electoral support from there. The Public Affairs party, which was established in Prague, nominated all its ministers from Prague, despite the fact that for the party it was not an area of electoral support. It is evident that, for the completion of a minister’s mandate, it is not important whether he or she comes from an area of electoral support. Only TOP 09, the Greens and KDU-ČSL (1998 elections) used the nomination of ministers to maximise votes within electoral regions, which could be identified as areas of electoral support in the previous elections. On the other hand, with ODA and ANO 2011, ministers were used outside the territory of electoral support, which may be related to the improvement of the election result in regions where the party was not so successful.
Strawberry Cultivars Preserved in the Swedish National Gene Bank
Authors: Hjalmarsson Inger 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Some 35 cultivars of Fragaria are preserved in the Swedish National Gene Bank for vegetatively propagated crops, which opened in 2016. The genebank includes a field collection in Alnarp, southern Sweden, and a back-up collection of virus-free plants at the Swedish Elite Plant Station. Here we document how the cultivars, the so-called mandate cultivars, were selected. Swedish origin was the primary criteria used in the selection process. In this category cultivars from historic Swedish breeding programmes are of particular interest. During 80 years, starting in the 1920s and ending in the late 1990s, 16 strawberries including three Fragaria × vescana hybrids were developed by Swedish breeders. Unfortunately, for three of these the accessions in the genebank are uncertain and four have not yet been recovered. The 16 cultivars bred in Sweden are presented with their year of introduction, parentage and short descriptions. Additionally, we also briefly describe local cultivars of strawberries and wild strawberries. Another category of mandate cultivars are foreign cultivars with a growing tradition in Sweden dating back to before 1966. Their age, country of origin, and importance for Swedish cultivation are discussed.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The goji berry (Lycium spp.) belongs to the Solanaceae family. The genus Lycium comprises 87 recognised species and is distributed in arid and semi-arid regions in temperate to subtropical zones in the world. In botanical terms, there are three types of Lycium species known as wolf-berry and commercially grown in the whole world: Lycium barbarum L. (2n = 24), Lycium chinense Miller (n = 12), and Lycium ruthenicum Murray (n = 12). Wolfberry is a herb growing naturally in both the mild and tropical areas of East, Southeast Asia, and Southern Africa. Also known as wolfberry (Lycium spp.), the motherland of wolfberry is China and it can even be grown in the Himalayas, the highest points of Tibet and Mongolia. Recently, in Turkey goji berry became a popular fruit due to its health benefit compounds, especially phenolic compounds (phenolic acids and flavonoids), carotenoids, tocopherol, ascorbic acid and antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to conduct a historical assessment of the botanic properties and cultivation of wolfberry plant and to provide information on the types and cultivars grown commonly in Turkey, distribution areas of production, consumption and use as a technologic product, marketing status, benefits for human health, multiplication and production techniques.

Authors: Feldmane Daina , Dēķena Dzintra , Cirša Edgars 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The aim of the study was to characterise the variability of flower bud frost tolerance, self-pollination and fruit quality in Latvian local sour cherries; and to select the most promising aces-sions. Data on fruit set after self-pollination, frost tolerance of flower buds, fruit and stone weight, stem retention force and soluble solid content were collected for 29 accessions of local cherries in 2016–2019. Sour cherry cv. ‘Latvijas Zemais’ clones no. 64, D7, and 4 were the most promising for fruit processing; clones no. 62, 65, Matkules, and Lietuvas were promising as pollinators due to tolerance to spring frosts and high level of fruit set after self-pollination, and cv. ‘Latvijas Zemais’ clones Eglīša, Piïkas 3, Matkules, and Dumbrava had relatively high fruit weight and soluble solid content for fresh consumption. ‘Latvijas Zemais’ clone no. 62 was superior with stable fruit set after self-pollination (21.54%), cold resistant flower buds (89.5%) and high proportion of fruit flesh (93.8 %), clone no. 52 had high soluble solid content (18.88 Brix) and clone Eglīša had large fruit (5.56 g). The highest contribution to variability was provided by fruit weight, stone weight, and soluble solid content, which explained 79.90% of total variability.
Frost Resistance Potential of Hybrid Apple Seedlings of Russian Research Institute of Fruit Crop Breeding after Artificial Thawing
Authors: Ozherelieva Zoya , Sedov Evgeniy 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The goal of our work was to assess the ability of hybrid apple seedlings and their parent forms to maintain frost resistance during the thaw period, by using artificial freezing methods. Apple resistance was studied in the laboratory by modelling the damage factors of the frost resistance component III with the use of a climatic chamber. All of the studied hybrid apple seedlings from all used crossing combinations showed a sufficient level of frost resistance under modelling of a three-day artificial thaw (+2 °C) with subsequent temperature lowering to –25 °C. The damage of bark, cambium and wood in all of the studied hybrid seedlings was reversible and did not exceed a 2.0 point rating on a 5-point scale. The temperature rise up to +2 °C during three days in February did not cause the activation of growth processes in buds and bark and did not dramatically affect hybrid apple seedlings. According to the results of the artificial freezing, hybrid apple seedlings of the 6026 family (‘Imrus’ × ‘Krasa Sverdlovska’) and hybrids of the 6030 family (‘Svezhest’ × ‘Pepin Orlovsky’) showed the largest potential frost resistance after a thaw in winter.

Abstract
European wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) syn. wood garlic, ramsons or bear’s garlic is a perennial plant that is common in Europe and Asia, but rare in the Mediterranean region. Bear’s garlic is included in the Latvian Red Data Book. The plant species has high commercial value and a high amount of biologically active compounds. Because of the conservation status of wild populations, raw material should be obtained by cultivation. For the experiment, leaves of six accessions of bear’s garlic from the ex situ collection of medicinal and aromatic plants at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies, were used. The aim of this study was to identify the individual phenolic compounds in bear‘s garlic leaves. The composition of the phenolic profile was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) Shimadzu Nexera LC-40 with diode-array detector (DAD). Overall, 18 phenolic compounds (gallic acid, 3.5-diOHbenzoic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, epicatechin, homovanillic acid, caffeic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, vanillin, p-coumaric acid, rutin, sinapic acid, ferulic acid, 2-OHcinnamic acid, quercetin, luteolin, and kaempferol) were detected in the samples. The gallic acid was the predominant phenolic compound, with a range in concentration from 75.8 mg·100 g−1 to 322.5 mg·100 g−1 in bear’s garlic.
