Vznik a zánik narativu na příkladu putování jedné svatojánské sochy

Using the example of the statue of St John of Nepomuk outside Saint John the Baptist Church (Na Prádle) in Prague’s Lesser Town, the author presents a reflection on the wide range of ideas upon which the narrative of a historical monument located in the city’s landscape depends on. This sculpture is especially admired as an example of Baroque art. The location of this statue in front of Saint John the Baptist Church is one of the factors that creates the impression of a picturesque and visually attractive spot. At the same time, however, this statue is known to have been originally located on the opposite shore of the Vltava River. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was part of a religious cult, and its presence in the Cattle Market (now Charles Square) was seen as part of a greater pilgrimage site in which St John of Nepomuk was revered. By studying sources and literature, the author gradually uncovers layers of meanings intertwined with this particular work. At the same time, the author reflects on the possible consequences of transferring (not only) religious monuments from their original locations, especially with regard to the city’s memory.

Permanences Against Cultural Amnesia: Reconstructing the Urban Narrative of the Rum Community of Fener, Istanbul

In this article I reconstruct the place narrative of the Rum community (Greeks of Turkey) in Fener, Istanbul through unrest, displacement, and gentrification, and how the urban fabric, everyday life, and encounters transformed through different phases of urban change. Fener was a neighbourhood where cultural groups coexisted with mutual respect. This environment started to deteriorate when societal unrest towards non-Muslims resulted in a city-wide assault in 1955 and a subsequent displacement of many non-Muslims from the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood decayed and later became an attractive spot for gentrifiers because of its multicultural history. This implicated a massive physical change after an unimplemented regeneration project leading to gentrification. I theorize this narrative mainly based on Whitehead’s “permanences,” the stabilities in the physical and non-physical presence of Rums in Fener and Bhabha’s “in-between temporalities” as complements of permanences, defining space-time envelopes that signify both adjustment and resilience, but also amnesia as a result of urban unrest through social and physical change. The Rum urban narrative provides a complex story of challenged community identity; therefore, it necessitates the use of several qualitative research methods: interviews with older residents, historical investigation with documentation, and personal observation. The study results show that the Rum community’s daily practices and placeworlds were lost; however, the community remembers permanences better than in-between temporalities. Linking fragmented narratives by reconstructing them fights cultural amnesia and leads to a better connection with place and past contexts.

An insight into rural entrepreneurship through tourism development and its impact on the living conditions of local communities in India

The uniqueness of Indian culture, tradition, way of life, historical, legendary things, heritages and other attractive tourist spots, especially the rural parts of our country is the most significant factor for the development of local community. The existence of bright spots like Kulu Manali, Jammu Kashmir, Ootacamund, Kodaikanal and other temples, churches, Ajmer Dharga, Taj Mahal are the most preferential points both by the domestic as well as foreign tourists. In the light of the above discussion, how these parts create entrepreneurial tendency among the local community either by the way of entering into the venture of setting many hotels, travels, tour operations, guides and sales emporiums. Each and every tourism parts in India in the local areas directly created employment and income. Moreover the prosperous and dynamic people in the rural areas may come forward to act as a liaison agent between the tourist and the localities. Automatically the tendency of the rural elites may emerge in to setup many entrepreneurial ventures. Especially in the parts of north eastern hill areas popularly known as 7 sisters of Indian states enter into displacing their handicraft works, sculptures, wooden works and other traditional hand made goods largely sold to the tourist. By this way a lot of income and employment opportunities have been emerged. In this paper the researchers seems to explain the overall entrepreneurial abilities among the local communities through the development of rural tourism in India with some expositions.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHLOROPHYLL-A AND NUTRIENTS IN THE TENGAH ISLAND, KARIMUNJAWA INDONESIA

Tengah Island is located between Sintok Island and Cilik Island in Karimunjawa, Jepara Regency, Central Java. Tengah Island is one of the zones for the use of marine tourism, which has the allure of attractive spots for snorkeling and diving for tourists. Coral reefs require chlorophyll-a, which is in this case produced by zooxanthellae, as a photosynthetic pigment. The chlorophyll-a concentration is influenced by many factors, including nutrients and environmental parameters. This study aims to see the spatial distribution of chlorophyll-a on Tengah Island and its relationship to nutrients, including ammonium, phosphate, and nitrate, as well as environmental parameters, namely Total Suspended Solid (TSS), salinity, pH, Dissolve Oxygen (DO), temperature, and brightness. Chlorophyll-a is analyzed using the APHA standard (2005), while nutrient analyses for ammonium, nitrate, and phosphate employ the UV-Vis spectrophotometer and Nessler reagent, the APHA 4500-No.3-B (2017), and the APHA 4500-P B, C (2017), respectively. TSS is obtained from Sentinel-2A data processing. The correlation between each dataset was carried out by a method of statistical analysis called Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that chlorophyll-a had a close relationship with ammonium (r=0.826), brightness (r=0.492), and TSS (r=-0.979). The highest chlorophyll-a concentration of 1,063 μg/L was obtained at Station 1, which is the jetty area and the closest to the mainland. This finding is supported by maximum ammonium, sourced from domestic waste and microbial activity, and good brightness, required by chlorophyll-a for photosynthesis processes.

Silurian hot shale occurrence and distribution, organofacies, thermal maturation, and petroleum generation in Ghadames Basin, North Africa

The Silurian hot shale in one of the African superglobal petroliferous sedimentary basins (Ghadames) were studied to provide new regional insights regarding the organofacies type, occurrence and distribution, thermal maturation levels, and the timing of petroleum generation and expulsion. Based on regional integrated geochemical data such as Rock-Eval and Leco TOC, the evaluation of hot shale organofacies was carried out to characterize the type, occurrence and distribution and to obtain present-day regional maps of total organic carbon content (%TOCpd), hydrogen index (HIpd) and kerogen transformation (TRpd). The hot shale thermal maturation levels were obtained using pyrolysis Rock-Eval Tmax, equivalent vitrinite reflectance (%VRo), and one, two and three-dimensional calibrated basin modeling approaches. Results show that the hot shale was entirely dominated by typical marine organofacies type B (kerogen type I/II) with %TOC ranging from 2% to 17.5%, and hydrogen index ranged from 50 to 750 mg HC/g TOC with apparent systematic trends throughout the basin margins, and depocenter for both %TOC and HI. The hot shale thermal maturation study indicates a general maturation range from early to the post-mature stages with 0.45–2.45 %VRo and 380 °C–510 °C as pyrolysis temperature range. The one and two-dimensional kerogen transformation study based on the obtained refined thermal model shows a general range from 20% to 98% transformation levels with a systematic increase from the basin margins toward the basin depocenter. The hot shale oil window (top and bottom) is defined to be in the range of 1,400 m–4,000 m burial depth, while the dry gas window of the hot shale is presented at a burial range of 4,000 m–5200 m. Such an observation and current geological and geochemical conditions rank the hot to be an attractive potential sweet spot area as an unconventional shale oil/gas play target in Ghadames Basin for future exploration activity in western Libya, eastern Algeria, and southern Tunisia.

Fully automated virtual screening pipeline of FDA-approved drugs using Caver Web

Protein tunnels are essential in transporting small molecules into the active sites of enzymes. Tunnels' geometrical and physico-chemical properties influence the transport process. The tunnels are attractive hot spots for protein engineering and drug development. However, studying the ligand binding and unbinding using experimental techniques is challenging, while in silico methods come with their limitations, especially in the case of resource-demanding virtual screening pipelines. Caver Web 1.2 is a new version of the web server combining the capabilities for the detection of protein tunnels with the calculation of the ligand trajectories. The new version of the Caver Web server was expanded with the ability to fetch novel ligands from the Integrated Database of Small Molecules and with the fully automated virtual screening pipeline allowing for the fast evaluation of the predefined set of over 4,300 currently approved drugs. The virtual screening pipeline is accompanied by a comprehensive user interface, making it a viable service for the broader spectrum of companies and the academic user community. The web server is freely available for academic use at https://loschmidt.chemi.muni.cz/caverweb.

Lacustrine, wastewater, interstitial and fluvial water quality in the Southern Lake Baikal region.

The coastal area of the southern Lake Baikal with the population over 35,000 people remains an attractive spot for both tourists and local residents. Despite high anthropogenic impact, a detailed assessment of water quality in this area has not been performed so far. Here, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of the surface, bottom and interstitial water in rivers, lacustrine water and wastewater in the southern Lake Baikal region. We analyzed 37 samples for the presence of fecal enterococci, Escherichia coli and assessed their hydrochemical parameters: concentrations of nutrients (nitrate-N, nitrite-N, ammonium-N and phosphate-P), dissolved oxygen and amount of ions (HCO3- + SO42- + Cl- + Ca2+ + Mg2+ + Na+ + K+). In addition, the temperature, pH and electrical conductivity were also measured. We found that multiple areas around South Baikal suffer from microbiological and hydrochemical pollution. We conclude that ecological situation in this area requires immediate attention from local authorities, more efficient wastewater management systems should be constructed in the settlements. We also conclude that interstitial waters from the lake's splash zone represent an effective and sensitive indicator of sanitary-microbiological and hydrochemical pollution and their analysis can be included in the standard protocol of water quality assessment for all types of water bodies.
