OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between alcohol-related mortality in Slovak regions, as represented by Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) III level. METHODS: We used data from mortality reports spanning 1996-2017 in the Slovak Republic. Data was provided by the National Health Information Centre in Slovakia. We applied two-dimensional correspondence analysis where the dimensions are regions and selected alcohol-related deaths diagnoses are classified by the International Classification of Diseases. RESULTS: Analysis revealed a relationship between the Prešov region and diagnoses I42 - Cardiomyopathy and K29 - Alcoholic gastritis. Furthermore, the Banská Bystrica and Žilina regions correspond to G31 - Degeneration of nervous system due to alcohol and K86 - Alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis. In the case of K70 - Alcoholic liver disease - the Banská Bystrica, Trenčín and Nitra regions are identified as regions which have an intermediate relationship with this diagnosis. The Trnava region corresponds to F10 - Acute alcohol intoxication. The Trenčín and Nitra regions correspond closely to G62 - Alcoholic polyneuropathy. Perfect correspondence can be seen between the Košice region and K73 - Chronic hepatitis, not elsewhere classified. K74 - Fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver diagnosis also corresponds with the Košice region. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this analysis provide valuable insights for national and regional health policymakers in the process of preparing high-quality health regional plans, as well as retrospectively assessing the success of existing health policies and interventions in this area. Facts presented in the study justify the need for specialised health care, which is part of the process of building an Integrated Health Care Centre in Slovakia.

Understanding spatial distribution of organisms in heterogeneous environment remains one of the chief issues in ecology. Spatial organization of freshwater fish was investigated predominantly on large-scale, neglecting important local conditions and ecological processes. However, small-scale processes are of an essential importance for individual habitat preferences and hence structuring trophic cascades and species coexistence. In this work, we analysed the real-time spatial distribution of pelagic freshwater fish in the Římov Reservoir (Czechia) observed by hydroacoustics in relation to important environmental predictors during 48 hours at 3-h interval. Effect of diurnal cycle was revealed of highest significance in all spatial models with inverse trends between fish distribution and predictors in day and night in general. Our findings highlighted daytime pelagic fish distribution as highly aggregated, with general fish preferences for central, deep and highly illuminated areas, whereas nighttime distribution was more disperse and fish preferred nearshore steep sloped areas with higher depth. This turnover suggests prominent movements of significant part of fish assemblage between pelagic and nearshore areas on a diel basis. In conclusion, hydroacoustics, GIS and spatial modelling proved as valuable tool for predicting local fish distribution and elucidate its drivers, which has far reaching implications for understanding freshwater ecosystem functioning.

During the reign of the first Ptolemaic kings in Egypt, mainly in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE, the Egyptian cults related to the divine couple of Isis and Sarapis (i.e. the Isiac cults) spread successfully from Egypt to ports and coastal cities of the ancient Mediterranean. The discussion on the topic of the factors involved in the process of the early spread of these cults outside Egypt is still open and, so far, the research in this area has been conducted mainly by using established historiographical methods. However, these methods are limited when dealing with the interplay among different variables involved in complex historical processes. This article aims to overcome these limits by using a quantitative spatial network analysis. The results of our previous published research, which focused on a quantitative evaluation of the impact of individual factors on the early spread of the Isiac cults across the ancient Aegean Islands, suggest that the process was promoted by military and commercial activities of the Ptolemaic dynasty, and that the Ptolemaic military operations were the most influential factor. Following these results, this article focuses on the early spread of the Isiac cults on the west coast of Hellenistic Asia Minor, i.e. the region which the Ptolemies attempted to control in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. The statistically significant results presented in this article support the hypothesis that the Ptolemaic political engagement in Asia Minor had a positive impact on the early spread of the Isiac cults. The results also suggest that the activities of the Seleucid dynasty, a political rival of the Ptolemies, in the area of interest could have constituted an immunological factor limiting the spread of the Isiac cults further to the eastern parts of Asia Minor.

Cíle. V předkládané studii bylo cílem identifikovat skupiny respondentů odlišující se pravděpodobností úspěšnosti řešení jednotlivých položek testu prostorové představivosti s ohledem na povahu položek z hlediska nároků na verbálně- analytické či vizuálně-analogové mentální operace. Soubor a sběr dat. Výzkumný soubor tvořilo 1540 osob, které se zúčastnily Testu studijních předpokladů v rámci přijímacího řízení na Masarykovu univerzitu. Analyzována byla data ze subtestu prostorová představivost. Hypotézy. Celkový skór subtestu prostorové představivosti odráží nejen úroveň prostorové představivosti, ale také úroveň verbálně-analytického myšlení. Statistická analýza. Ve studii byla použita analýza latentních tříd pro identifikaci latentních tříd respondentů v kombinaci s dalšími standardními statistickými postupy. Výsledky. Byly identifikovány tři latentní třídy respondentů odlišené pravděpodobností úspěšného řešení položek. Latentní třídy byly interpretovány s ohledem na úroveň schopnosti řešit úlohu za pomoci mentální manipulace s představou či analytickým postupem založeným na rozložení obrazové úlohy do sledu jednoznačných výroků. Omezení. Interpretace výsledků jsou založeny na práci s velkým datovým souborem, obsahujícím údaje z reálné testové situace přijímacího řízení na univerzitu. V navazujícím výzkumu se autoři plánují zaměřit na analýzu mentálních procesů uplatňovaných při řešení položek testu prostorové představivosti za pomoci metody introspekce.

Objectives. The goal of the presented study was to identify groups of respondents which differ in the probability of successful solving individual items comprising test of spatial abilities. Sample and setting. The size of the research sample was 1540 test-takers, who attended the admission procedure to Masaryk University. Data from the Spatial Abilities subtest were analyzed. Hypotheses. The total score of the Spatial Abilities test reflects not only the level of spatial abilities but also the level of verbal-analytic thinking. Statistical analysis. The Latent Class Analysis was used to identify the latent classes of respondents and also other common statistical procedures were applied. Results. Three latent classes of respondents were identified. These classes were interpreted considering the ability to solve the item using manipulations with mental images or analytical technique based on decomposing the item image into sequence of propositions. Study limitation. The interpretations are based on a large research sample collected in a real testing situation during university’s admission procedure. In a follow-up research the authors plan to use the introspection method to analyze mental processes applied when solving items from a test of spatial abilities.

The sustenance of humans and livestock depends on the protection of the soil. Consequently, the pollution of the soil with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of great concern to humanity. The objective of this study is to investigate the source apportionment, concentration levels and spatial distribution of PTEs in selected soils in Frýdek-Místek District of the Czech Republic. The total number of soil samples was 70 (topsoil 49 and 21 subsoils) and was analysed using a portable XRF machine. Contamination factor and the pollution index load were used for the assessment and interpreting the pollution and distribution of PTEs in the soils. The inverse distance weighting was used for the spatial evaluation of the PTEs. The results of the analysis showed that the area is composed of low-to-high pollution site. PTEs displayed spatial variation patterns. The average PTE concentration decreases in this Fe > Ti > Ba > Zr > Rb > Sr > Cr > Y>Cu > Ni > Th order for the topsoil and also decreases in this Fe > Ti > Zr > Ba > Rb > Sr > Cr > Y > Cu > Ni > and Th order for the subsoil. These PTEs Cr, Ni, Cu, Rb, Y, Zr, Ba, Th, and Fe were far above the baseline European average value and the World average value level, respectively. The source apportionment showed the dominance of Cr, Ni, Rb, Ti, Th, Zr, Cu, Fe in the topsoil, while the subsoil was dominated by all the PTEs (factor 1 to 6) except Ba. The study concludes that indiscriminate human activities have an enormous effect on soil pollution.
