Based on qualitative research of women that cared in the past or care now for their frail elderly mothers, this article aims to describe and explain some of the factors leading to the predominance of women in informal care for the elderly. The article builds on Sandra Harding’s and Joan W. Scott’s concept of gender. Their concept defines gender as a category operating at multiple interconnected levels. Based on the analysis of interviews with biographical components, we show the impact of cultural and structural factors on women’s decisions to take care, and how these factors are gender structured. Among cultural factors we focus on the process of socialization; we analyse the effect of gender norms of care and the issue of cultural taboos in intimate care. Among structural factors we focus on paid work, the gender division of labour in the family and non/availability of formal care services. On the basis of caregivers’ stories we show how these factors coherently and simultaneously strengthen the connection between women and providing hands-on care. We also identify emerging disruptions in this gender-conservative model of informal care.

Two Accounts – One Ascension: Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11

This article investigates the ascension accounts (Luke 24:50-53 and Acts 1:9-11) in a narrative way. The main analysis point will be the question: why is one event recounted twice: at the end of the first Lukan volume and the beginning of the second? The second question concerns the meaning of the discrepancies between the two pericopes. We argue that all differences can be explained by Luke’s literary and narrative strategy. Luke 24:50-53 recounts the recognition of Jesus. Acts 1:9-11 marks the end of the period (between resurrection and ascension) needed for the disciples to become the legitimate and authoritative successors of Jesus.

Journalists play a crucial role in the reporting of events, especially in tragic circumstances, such as terrorist attacks. An all-news network must maintain a dramatic tension throughout the events, sometimes for long hours, although the reporters dispatched to the site are not always able to provide new elements. On the basis of the partial information transmitted from various sources, the on-site journalists have to develop a coherent story that captures the audience’s attention. This explains why the staging of the information is not only based on the emotions of the witnesses and on-site reporters, but also on narrative stereotypes or social scripts, leading to a form of fictionalization. Our study, which uses the methods of discourse analysis, takes into account the emotional lexicon and the way in which the interaction between the various protagonists of the journalistic discourse shapes the televisual macronarrative. It is based on a transcribed corpus of two hours of live news broadcast by BFM, a French news channel, during the attacks that took place in Paris on November 13, 2015.

This study deals with the characteristic features of Čep’s style and their functions at the moment the author retreats into the anonymity of writing and distorts their primary form. The study is based on the detective story, one part of which Jan Čep writes at the behest of the publisher Bedřich Fučík as part of his promotional activities. An analysis of the author’s narrative techniques shows how Čep simultaneously abandons and confirms the formal and idea-based element of his writing, as anonymity enables him to confrontationally hone several of his views regarding the criticism of pragmatism and liberalism at that time. At the same time ongoing analysis of his positions and motives indicates that the apparent playfulness of the text conceals within itself a different form of irreconcilable position and a confirmation of Čep’s conception of the aesthetic purpose of a literary text, a conception which determines Čep’s position among the authors of modern literature.

Studie se zabývá charakteristickými rysy Čepova stylu a jejich funkcí v okamžiku, kdy autor ustoupí do anonymity psaní a deformuje jejich primární podobu. Východiskem studie je detektivní příběh, jehož jednu část Jan Čep píše na objednávku nakladatele Bedřicha Fučíka v rámci jeho propagačních aktivit. Rozborem narativních technik autor studie ukazuje, jak Čep opouští i potvrzuje současně formální a myšlenkovou podobu svého psaní, jak mu anonymita umožňuje konfliktně vyhrotit některé z jeho postojů, které souvisejí s dobovou kritikou pragmatismu a liberalismu. Postupnou analýzou postupů a motivů se zároveň ukazuje, že zdánlivá hravost textu v sobě ukrývá jinou podobu nesmiřitelného postoje a stvrzení Čepova pojetí estetické určení literárního textu, pojetí, které určuje Čepovu pozici mezi autory moderní literatury.

The main goal of the study is to describe narrative characteristics of stories of change in psychotherapy group, narrated by clients, who reached clinically significant change. The current study was a part of a three-year project, focused on the research of efficiency and curative factors of therapy in daily treatment centres specialized at treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. From the total participants n=220 (21 groups) in the quantitative part of the project, 32 clients took part in repeated qualitative interviews (in the middle, at the end of treatment, and 8 – 9 months after treatment). The present study involves eight participants who participated in at least two interviews and reached a clinically significant change. Data were analysed by means of categorical narrative analysis, using the following narrative categories: thematic lines; agency; positioning; values, and beliefs. Results indicate, that some clients develop the agentic capacity only during the process of change, it is a certain „re-authorisation“ of one´s action. There appear to be two types of agency, a systematic, directive type and more relaxed, open type. In the category of positioning, clients tend to the narrative delimitation toward other members of group and also toward the group as a whole. In the category of values and beliefs, clients describe normative and moral aspects of reaching the change in psychotherapy.

Cílem studie je popsat narativní charakteristiky vyprávění o změně u klientů skupinové psychoterapie, kteří dosáhli klinicky významné změny. Studie byla součástí tříletého projektu, zaměřeného na výzkum efektivity a faktorů psychoterapie v denních stacionářích pro léčbu úzkostných poruch a deprese. Léčba trvala 3 měsíce, klienti docházeli do stacionáře vždy v pracovní dny. Sběr dat probíhal v letech 2014 až 2016, z celkového počtu n = 220 klientů (celkově 21 skupin v délce trvání 12 týdnů) v kvantitativní části projektu se opakovaných rozhovorů v kvalitativní části (uprostřed léčby, na jejím konci a 9 až 10 měsíců po ukončení léčby) účastnilo 32 klientů. Prezentovaná studie pracuje s užším výběrem osmi klientů, kteří absolvovali nejméně dva rozhovory a dle objektivních ukazatelů měření změny v psychoterapii dosáhli klinicky významné změny. Data byla analyzována pomocí kategorické narativní analýzy za užití narativních kategorií: témata změny; aktérství; narativní pozice; hodnoty a přesvědčení. Ukazuje se, že u některých klientů dochází v průběhu procesu změny ke „zrodu“ aktérství, k jakési re-autorizaci vlastního jednání. Objevují se zde dvě varianty aktérství, systematicky režisérský typ a uvolněnější, otevřenější typ. V kategorii narativní pozice se klienti vymezují k ostatním členům skupiny jako i vůči celé skupině a také jako skupina vůči „zbytku světa“. V kategorii hodnoty a přesvědčení se ukazuje hodnotový a normativní aspekt dosažení změny v psychoterapii.

Philosophical Meta-Story about The Little Prince as a Synergy of Book and Film Industries: On the Possibilities of Film Adaptation of Literature for Children and Youth

The present study explores the ways in which children’s and young adult literature is adapted to film, as these stories allow the autonomous world of childhood, distinctly different from the adult perspective, to emerge. At the same time, however, literary testimony presented through children’s perception and interpretation of reality can bring contemporary social or existential problems closer to the adult reader through imagery accessible to people of all ages. A representative result of the confrontation of the children’s and the adult world is also the literary work of the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, originally intended for children. The depth and topicality of the philosophical fairy tale The Little Prince (originally in French, Le Petit Prince, first published in 1943) lie in the fact that it is one of the world’s most translated fairy tales, which has been the basis for numerous dramatic adaptations, re-editions and film adaptations. The main aim of the study is, therefore, to clarify the way the philosophical metanarrative of The Little Prince is expressed in the literary source and in the audiovisual film of the same name, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince, 2015, directed by Mark Osborne). In order to achieve this goal, we apply a narrative analysis of both research materials based on analytical categories defined in the methodological section of the study. The identification and subsequent comparison of the chosen analytical categories is the starting point for determining the mode of filmic adaptation of the literary subject matter. The categorisation of film adaptations of literary works according to L. Giannetti and T. Leitch becomes the focus. Within the theoretical delineation of the issue under discussion, we point to its interdisciplinary character (the ‘intermingling’ of media and communication studies, literary criticism, but also media philosophy, film studies and other related disciplines), emphasising the cultural overlap of the philosophical metatheory of The Little Prince. This timelessness opens up space for further research into the possibilities of the story’s cinematic adaptations and interpretative planes. Characteristic logical-conceptual procedures are employed to achieve the stated aims.

This work aims at developing an analysis of Philip Kindred Dick’s favorite topics, combined with the fi ction and reality elements that contribute to the depth of the author’s narrative cosmos and his style of writing, which can be defined as “post-modern”. Following closely the analysis proposed by Gerard Genette, the work proceeds with analyzing the narrator and the discourse focus; character analysis; speech type; scene timing, the time of the plot, of the story, of the reading. It is then followed by a suggestion for a mediological analysis of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? in relation to its metamorphosis and split between the original version and the author’s posthumous version of the film.

Praca ta ma na celu poszerzenie analizy ulubionych tematów Philipa Kindreda Dicksa połączonych z elementami fikcji i rzeczywistości, które przyczyniają się do pogłębienia kosmosu narracyjnego autora i jego stylu pisania, uznawanego za postmodernistyczny. Idąc wiernie śladem literackiej analizy przedstawionej przez Gerarda Genette’a, autor przystępuje do analizy narratora i precyzyjności wypowiedzi; analizy bohaterów, typologi wypowiedzi, długości sekwencji, czasu historii, czasu opowiadania i czytania. Później następuje propozycja analizy mediologicznej dzieła Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? w jego metamorfozie i rozszczepieniu pomiędzy wersją oryginalną i pośmiertną wersją filmową tego samego autora.

Jesus’ being with the wild beasts in the desert during His temptations is mentioned only in the Gospel of Mark (1:13). His victory over Satan is confirmed by the state of peaceful harmony with the nature surrounding Him, and by the service of the angels to Him. Several other references to animals in Mark emphasize the reality of God’s saving activity offered to men and women in the midst of their real, everyday condition and needs. All of this gospel's references to the beasts serve as examples of this kind of immediacy and reality, whether reported indirectly or directly, and whether understood literally or figuratively.

Pobyt Jezusa z dzikimi zwierzętami na pustyni podczas Jego kuszenia jest wzmiankowany tylko w Ewangelii Marka. Jego zwycięstwo nad Szatanem jest potwierdzone przez spokojną koegzystencję z otaczającą Go naturą oraz przez służbę aniołów. Pozostałe odniesienia do zwierząt uwydatniają realny charakter zbawczej działalności Boga, ofiarowanej ludziom w ich rzeczywistych uwarunkowaniach i potrzebach. Jej przykłady są przedstawione przez wszystkie odniesienia do zwierząt – zarówno te pośrednie lub bezpośrednie, jak i te mające sens dosłowny lub przenośny.

The present article focuses on the construction of characters in Luke 7:36-50. The author uses the tools of narrative analysis to illumine the way in which the narrator describes the three main protagonists of the story: Simon, the Pharisee, woman called a sinner, and Jesus. Simon clearly plays a secondary role in the narration serving as a negative background for the presentation of woman and introducing the main theme of the identity of Jesus. The woman, although being presented by the narrator as a sinner, is eventually put forward as a model of love and faith. However, she also plays a secondary role with respect to Jesus around whom all the story revolve. He is the one that attracts all the attention of the story. His voice resounds with authority suppressing even the voice of the narrator and giving interpretation to the behavior of other characters. The image and identity of Jesus, which is the main point of narrator’s interest, goes well beyond the traits of rabbi and master pointing at his divinity.

This paper deals with the issue of identity development of Bulgarian Muslims – one of the minorities in Bulgaria. The basic assumption is that their ethnic (collective) identity has been developed as multiple identities under the primordial, modern, and postmodern features, circumstances and phenomena originated in the historical, political, cultural and socioeconomic environment and relations of power and dominance. Presenting the stories of three representatives of the Bulgarian Muslims minority the paper focuses on how European integration challenges their identity: their limited experiences in Europe were collected as a result of an attempt to escape the economic situation in the country, to get out of the traumas they feel with respect to the Bulgarian majority. Their stories present an interesting mixture of imagination and personal impressions of Europe. The paper explores the use of the qualitative method of autobiographical interview as a method for studding identity construction and development.

Przyjmujemy założenie, iż ich tożsamość etniczna (zbiorowa) została ukształtowana wielowymiarowo, pod wpływem takich czynników jak: primordialność, nowoczesne i ponowoczesne cechy, zjawiska i zależności zakorzenione w środowisku ukształtowanym przez czynniki historyczne, kulturowe, polityczne i socjoekonomiczne tworzące relacje władzy i dominacji. W artykule prezentujemy narracje trzech przedstawicieli mniejszości bułgarskich muzułmanów i pokazujemy jak integracja europejska staje się wyzwaniem dla ich tożsamości. Ich narracje pokazują interesujące zestawienie wyobrażeń z biograficznym doświadczeniem Europy.

Objectives. The research aims to capture the properties of the narrative structure in the texts of expressive writing in patients with depressive disorder. Sample and settings. Expressive Writing (EW) was administered to 22 patients (15 women, 7 men) at the beginning of hospitalization at a psychiatric clinic and five weeks thereafter. Research questions. What are the characteristics of the narrative structure of EWs in patients with depression? How does this structure develop during treatment? Data analysis. EWs were analysed using narrative analysis following these five basic outputs: 1) Themes, 2) Acting, 3) Values and beliefs, 4) An image of self and the others and 5) Reflection and perspective. Results. The analysis shows that the most thematically covered are categories of imprisonment in illness, fears for the future, relationships. These themes form a basis for the values and beliefs captured. The image of self in others is burdened with feelings of hopelessness, misfortune and illness; patients compare themselves to others they consider happy and healthy. Acting is not accentuated due to the lack of strength and will to act. In this category, patients in remission exhibited the increase of acting in the 5th week after hospitalization. Limitations. The main limit of this study is the data collection method, because EW does not allow to ask about certain aspects of the text and to elaborate some topics in depth.

Metoda expresivního psaní (EP) byla administrována 22 pacientům (15 žen, 7 mužů) na začátku hospitalizace na psychiatrické klinice a pět týdnů poté. Výzkumné otázky. Jaké vlastnosti má narativní struktura EP u pacientů s depresí? Jak se tato struktura vyvíjí v průběhu léčby? Analýza dat. Texty EP byly zpracovány pomocí narativní analýzy, sledováno bylo pět základních kategorií: 1) Témata, 2) Aktérství, 3) Hodnoty a přesvědčení, 4) Obraz sebe a druhých a 5) Reflexe a hledisko. Výsledky. Analýza dat ukázala, že tematicky nejobsažnější kategorie jsou nezávislost, uvěznění v nemoci, deprese, smysl života, obavy z budoucnosti, vztahy, strach a vina, z nichž vycházejí i zachycené hodnoty a přesvědčení. Obraz sebe v druhých je zatížen pocity beznaděje, neštěstí a nemoci, pacienti se srovnávají s ostatními, které považují za šťastné a zdravé. Aktérství je vzhledem k nepřítomnosti síly a vůle ke konání málo akcentováno. V pátém týdnu došlo u pacientů v remisi ke změně v aktérství ve smyslu nabytí odpovědnosti. Limity.

The article explains how ideas, characters and images borrowed from literary works and of fine arts are represented in Liszt’s the piano works of (i.e. with the help of motives, themes and narrative strategies). I. The first level of analysis concerns the typology of basic elements in the new lisztian forms: A. Four types of musical motives or figures and their signifieds (semes). B. Sixteen types of musical themes with their signifieds (classemes). C. Considering the great parts or sections of a piece we discovered seven types with their signifieds (isotopies). II. The second level of analysis consists in the presentation of three types of narrative strategies. The narrative strategy would mean the conscious organization of concatenation of the above mentioned signifying elements. A. The “figurative strategy” refers to the formal variation [‘Formalvariation” in German] of onetheme, or of one “thematic complex” (theme introduced and followed by expressive describing motives or refrain), for example: Sposalizio. B. The “simple narrative strategy” consists in a succession of character variations [‘Charaktervariation’], i.e. variation in the musical genre, in the signified of one musical theme (for example: Vallee d’Obermanri). C. The “complex narrative strategy” describes the structures which combine sonata form, cyclical sonata in four movements and variation form. This strategy implies that a whole thematic complex (exposition) is submitted to different stages of the character variation (for example: Dante sonata, Sonata in B minor, 2nd Ballade in B minor, etc.).

The United States plays an important role in determining international drug policy. It is also one of the first countries which made legal regulations on psychoactive substances. For more than hundred years, the USA had believed that prohibition was the best solution for the drug problem. However, at the end of 2020, the American policy on drugs changed and became more liberal, especially in relation to marijuana. On December 4th, 2020, the House of Representatives voted in favor of marijuana decriminalization on federal level and now it is proceeding in Senate. On December 3rd, the status of marijuana in the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was changed and it was erased from the list of dangerous substances without medical use. In this article, I will show the changes of narratives on drugs presented in Congress. I am interested in how various perspectives affect choosing solutions. Therefore, I will use the narrative method to analyze transcripts from the proceedings of two laws: Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, which was a result of Ronald Reagan’s “zero tolerance” policy, as well as the 2020 marijuana decriminalization amendment. I will show main narratives presented by members of the Democratic party and the Republican party, as well as how they were changing with the passage of time. I will also present which of the existing hypotheses on the issue are supported by the narrative analysis of parliamentary discourse.

Stany Zjednoczone odgrywają bardzo ważną rolę w międzynarodowej polityce narkotykowej. Jest to również jeden z pierwszych krajów, które wprowadziły regulacje dotyczące substancji psychoaktywnych. Przez ponad sto lat państwo to stało na stanowisku, że najlepszym rozwiązaniem problemu narkotyków jest prohibicja. Pod koniec 2020 roku nastąpiła jednak liberalizacja polityki narkotykowej, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do marihuany. Czwartego grudnia Izba Reprezentantów przegłosowała poprawkę dekryminalizującą marihuanę na szczeblu federalnym i aktualnie jest ona procedowana w Senacie. Dzień wcześniej marihuana zmieniła swój status w Jednolitej Konwencji ONZ z 1961 roku i wykreślono ją z listy niebezpiecznych substancji bez zastosowania medycznego. W artykule przedstawiam, jak zmieniły się narracje w Kongresie na temat narkotyków. Interesuje mnie, jak sposób mówienia o problemie wpływa na ostatecznie przyjmowane rozwiązania. W tym celu poddałam analizie narracyjnej stenogramy z procedowania dwóch ustaw: Anti-Drug Abuse Act z 1986 roku, która była wynikiem polityki „zero tolerancji” prezydenta Ronalda Reagana, oraz poprawki dekryminalizującej marihuanę z 2020 roku. Zaprezentowałam główne narracje przedstawicieli Partii Demokratycznej i Partii Republikańskiej, a także to, jak zmieniły się one na przestrzeni lat. Wskazałam również, które z istniejących hipotez na temat przyczyn wyboru danego rodzaju polityki narkotykowej są poparte wynikami analizy narracyjnej dyskursu parlamentarnego.

Levels of trust in political institutions and political actors are constantly low in the Czech Republic. This paper deals with the perspective of professional politicians, which is an unexplored topic in the Czech context. At the same time, we supplement the traditional view of political culture with an approach based on interpretive and constructivist sociology. We focus on the construction of symbolic boundaries by Czech politicians. We pursue a combination of narrative (Ricoeur) and critical discourse analysis (Wodak) based on 21 thematically oriented biographical interviews with politicians from three traditional political parties (ODS, ČSSD, KSČM) who have been actively involved in politics since the early 90´s. The findings suggest that the politicians use symbolic boundaries as a cultural instrument for legitimizing their identity, status and practice of „traditional“ politics. By defining „others“, the politicians are able to construct a reality in which they are on the same boat with citizens while standing on the command bridge.

Důvěra občanů České republiky v politické instituce a politiky je dlouhodobě nízká. V textu se zaměřujeme na perspektivu profesionálních politiků v hodnocení politiky, která je v českém kontextu neprobádaným tématem. Doplňujeme zároveň tradiční pohled na politickou kulturu o přístup vycházející z interpretativní a konstruktivistické sociologie. Soustředíme se přitom na konstrukci symbolických hranic u českých politiků, kdy si klademe otázku, mezi jakými skupinami politici symbolické hranice vytvářejí. Provádíme kombinaci narativní (Ricoeur) a kritické diskurzivní analýzy (Wodak) na 21 tematicky orientovaných biografických interview s politiky ze tří tradičních politických stran (ODS, ČSSD, KSČM), kteří byli aktivní v politice od začátku 90. let 20. století. Zjištění interpretujeme v tom smyslu, že symbolické hranice představují pro politiky kulturní nástroj legitimizace jejich identity, statusu a praxe „tradiční“ politiky. Díky symbolickému vymezování se vůči „jiným“ jsou politici schopni konstruovat realitu, ve které jsou s občany sice na stejné lodi a zároveň musí podle nich sami stát na kapitánském můstku.

The article aims to analyze the present status quo of the biblical hermeneutics and exegesis in the frame of the postmodern culture. The author first defines the meaning of the terms included in the title of the article. Then postmodernism as a cultural and a philosophical currant is analyzed. On this background the author shows the threads and benefits of biblical hermeneutics and exegesis related to theories and practical implements of the postmodern ideas in the contemporary culture. Finally the answer to the question "Is it possible to reconcile the historical-critical and postmodern interpretation of the Bible?" is sought.

The story of the sinful woman (Luke 7:36-50) is an excellent example of Luke’s narrative skills. It presents a coherent plot, abounds in interesting turning points, and shows a vivid interaction between main characters. In the same time, the story is filled with tensions, gaps and ambiguity which regard the gestures of the woman, the forgiveness she receives, and the role which in the entire process is played by Jesus. The purpose of the present article lies in illumining the development of Luke’s account with the use of the narrative approach. The story is divided into scenes and set up in the spatial-temporal, and socio-cultural frame. The scheme of the narration is labeled as a plot of discovery. Its focal point is not the love or faith of the sinful woman, but the identity of Jesus. The full revelation of his divine authority takes place in the pardon of sins granted to the woman (vv.47a.48), which brings to completion the ongoing process of her reconciliation. The article finishes with the analysis of interaction between the text and its readers and with the exposition of the techniques used by the narrator to shape the competences and the choices made by the recipients of the story.

In the story of King David’s kingdom, the author of the Second Book of Samuel describes not only historical facts, but by means of various narrative and stylistic devices, allows the reader to enter the world of the personalities, interrelationships and inner experiences of the various characters. The narrative of 2Sam 18:19-19:9 is distinguished by dynamic shifts in perspective and action, long moments of complication, the use of different characters and irony to make the characteristics of the protagonist visible. Consequently, the story of David, who learns of the death of his son Absalom, is the story of a man facing an internal conflict concerning the roles assigned to him by life – father and king. This conflict breaks the heart of the legendary King David, which at the same time makes his character, caught up in conflicting emotions, closer to the ordinary reader.
PL
Autor Drugiej Księgi Samuela w historii o królestwie króla Dawida opisuje nie tylko historyczne fakty, ale za pomocą różnych zabiegów narracyjnych i stylistycznych pozwala czytelnikowi wejść w świat osobowości, wzajemnych relacji i wewnętrznych przeżyć różnych postaci. Narracja 2 Sam 18:19-19:9 wyróżnia się dynamicznymi zmianami perspektyw i akcji, długimi momentami komplikacji, wykorzystaniem różnych postaci i ironii do uwidocznienia cech bohatera. W konsekwencji, opowiadanie o Dawidzie, który dowiaduje się o śmierci swojego syna Absaloma, jest opowiadaniem o człowieku stojącym w obliczu wewnętrznego konfliktu dotyczącego ról, zadanych mu przez życie – ojca i króla. Ten konflikt łamie serce legendarnego króla Dawida, co jednocześnie sprawia, że jego postać uwikłana sprzecznymi emocjami, staje się bliższa zwykłemu czytelnikowi.

L’autore del Secondo libro di Samuele nel racconto del regno del re Davide non si limita a descrivere i fatti storici ma, attraverso vari espedienti narrativi e stilistici, permette al lettore di entrare nel mondo dei personaggi, delle loro interazioni, della loro interiorità. La narrazione di 2Sam 18:19-19:9 si distingue per i cambi dinamici di prospettiva e di azione, i lunghi momenti di complicazione, l’uso di diversi personaggi e l’ironia per rendere visibili le caratteristiche del protagonista. Di conseguenza, la storia di Davide che viene a sapere della morte di suo figlio Assalonne, è la storia di un uomo che affronta un conflitto interiore riguardo ai ruoli che la vita gli ha attribuito – padre e re. Questo conflitto spezza il cuore del leggendario re Davide, e allo stesso tempo rende il suo personaggio, preso da emozioni contrastanti, più vicino al lettore comune.
