Modernizações, Modernidades e Modernismos no Brasil Republicano de Início do Século XX
Authors: Gomes Angela de Castro
Published: July 2023

RESUMO Este artigo foi escrito como uma conferência de abertura para o II Encontro de Pensamento Social Brasileiro: 100 anos de 1922 e as transformações do Brasil moderno. Nele, destaco o que entendo ser um projeto politico-cultural de modernização do país, através de uma “educação nacional”, que se explicitou nos anos de 1890, permanecendo em pauta nas décadas seguintes. Para tanto, analiso as contribuições de três importantes autores - José Veríssimo, Gonzaga Duque e João Ribeiro - trabalhando com três de seus livros, pouco conhecidos, mas muito representativos do pensamento de boa parte das elites intelectuais da Primeira República. Vendo-se como portadores de uma missão dedicada a vencer o “atraso” do país, relativizavam os determinismos cientificistas (clima e raça), defendendo que uma educação pública e obrigatória era uma possibilidade efetiva de nacionalizar e modernizar o Brasil.
Lack of Communication Can Be Trouble: Brazilian Federal Supreme Court Decision-Making Behavior and Self-Promotion Strategies
Authors: Magalhães Rebecca , Carvalho Ernani
Published: July 2023

Abstract The post-1988 period in Brazil has brought as a consequence a greater role for the Judiciary in the political game, a fact that can be derived either from institutional arrangements or from strategies undertaken by its agents. Focusing on the second approach, the article explores whether exists a communication strategy between the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court (STF) and the public. According to the literature, in spite of the fact that the Judiciary differs from other political actors because it does not rely on the electorate, it is similar in terms of the need to provide transparency in its decisions, in order to achieve institutional legitimacy. In the Brazilian case, there is a constant externalization of messages directed at symbols of justice, objectivity, and impartiality and, since mid-2000’s, there has been an increase in the institution’s transparency, with emphasis on the televised transmission of its plenary sessions and a detailed institutional web page containing news and complete content of rulings. Considering that, from a comparative perspective, the constitutional court has become extremely exposed, one wonders: is there institutional selectivity in relation to its decisions? In order to answer this question, press releases from the Federal Supreme Court and judicial decisions were examined, over a 16-year time frame, from 2000 to 2016. The research utilized mixed methods: textual data mining techniques and statistics. The findings suggest that there is an intention, consistent throughout the time period studied, to transmit an image of an activist court.

Published: July 2023

Abstract Introduction Remote postural assessment, necessary during the pandemic, required strategies to replace its in-person counterpart. Objective Analyze the content validity of a protocol for Remote Static Posture Assessment (ARPE) that includes three items, postural checklist, rater’s manual and ratee’s manual. Methods Six experts in postural assessment were invited to validate the content of the three items of the ARPE protocol and 10 laypersons evaluated the ratee’s Manual. The validity questionnaire encompassed the protocol in general and each individual item, containing an area for suggestions from experts and laypersons. The responses of these raters were used to calculate the Content Validity Indexes (CVI). Results Two rounds of evaluations were carried out with the experts and one with the laypersons. In the first round with the experts, the CVI ranged from 98.6 to 83%. Three aspects (description of head positioning, description of scapula and waist positioning in the frontal plane) required adjustments. In the first round with the laypersons and second round with the experts, the CVI was 100%. Conclusion The 100% agreement between experts and laypersons regarding the content of the ARPE protocol confirms its content validity.

In the aisles of science: the play “Gutenberg - drame historique en 5 actes et en prose” (1869) by Juliette Figuier
Authors: Kodama Kaori
Published: July 2023

Abstract: The aim of this article is to look at, through the case of Juliette Figuier, the often invisible role of intellectual women in the dissemination of scientific culture in France and Brazil. It focuses on her play Gutenberg (1869) which was translated into Portuguese in 1877 and circulated in Brazil. The play, which deals with the mythical life of the inventor of the printing press, is included in the list of narratives about science produced by popularizers of science - such as her husband, Louis Figuier. Often mistaken as a work of the latter, Gutenberg was originally written by Juliette Figuier. The article seeks to discuss through this case how women could participate in the production of cultural goods which projected the image of Science in a mediating role.
Nas coxias da ciência: a peça “Gutenberg - drama histórico em 5 atos e em prosa” de Juliette Figuier: práticas de vulgarização científica e invisibilização feminina no século xix
Authors: Kodama Kaori
Published: July 2023

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é abordar, a partir do caso de Juliette Figuier, a atuação frequentemente invisibilizada de mulheres intelectuais na disseminação da cultura científica entre França e Brasil. O objeto de estudo é a peça teatral Gutenberg (1869) da autora, que também circulou pelo Brasil através de uma tradução em português, de 1877. A peça, que trata da vida mitificada do inventor da imprensa, insere-se no rol de narrativas sobre a ciência realizada pelos vulgarizadores das ciências - como seu marido Louis Figuier. Muitas vezes confundida como obra do vulgarizador, Gutenberg, no entanto, foi originalmente escrita por Juliette Figuier. O artigo, com este caso, procura discutir como mulheres podiam participar da produção de bens culturais que projetaram a imagem sobre a “ciência”, em um papel de mediação.

Bibliotecas positivistas, catálogos e outras listas: como pensam os livreiros e os algoritmos?
Authors: Siqueira Rogério Monteiro de
Published: July 2023

Resumo: O artigo analisa um conjunto de 22 catálogos de livreiros, publicados nas últimas décadas do século XIX, dedicados ao tema do positivismo. Essas listagens, às vezes chamadas de bibliotecas positivistas, permitem descrever como os livreiros no período pensavam o tema do positivismo e o mobilizavam em favor de suas vendas. Utilizando uma abordagem digital, notadamente a representação visual em forma de grafos, discutimos como os mais de 150 autores citados eram hierarquizados por esses agentes do mundo do livro, permitindo-nos falar em uma ordem dos livreiros. Analisamos também os impasses metodológicos envolvidos na aplicação dos grafos para compreender um conjunto de listagens, com vistas a contribuir para o debate do uso das tecnologias digitais na prática historiográfica.
Alinhamentos políticos e mobilização popular: as estratégias de ascensão da Irmandade Muçulmana no Egito (1936-1949)
Authors: Castro Isabelle Christine Somma de
Published: July 2023

Resumo Este estudo investiga as dinâmicas externas da Irmandade Muçulmana, que contribuíram para o aumento de sua popularidade no Egito. A partir da análise de documentos secretos redigidos por autoridades diplomáticas britânicas, disponibilizadas em The National Archives, em Londres, foram reunidas informações sobre como a organização islâmica operava nos bastidores políticos entre 1936, quando surgem os primeiros relatos sobre o grupo, e 1949, ano em que seu fundador e líder foi assassinado. Alianças com atores poderosos, cisões e aproximações entre forças dominantes na política egípcia e a ingerência britânica em assuntos locais foram alguns dos elementos explorados pela liderança do grupo para aumentar sua influência e ascender como importante força política. Observou-se que, em geral, a Irmandade Muçulmana utilizou sua popularidade como moeda de troca com a classe política e se tornou um pilar de apoio ao status quo.
O conceito histórico de agregado e metodologia em história social (sul do Brasil, virada do século XVIII para o XIX)
Authors: Gomes Luciano
Published: July 2023

Resumo: A pesquisa aborda as práticas de agregar e estar agregado e o registro dessas condições nos documentos do Brasil escravista. A documentação analisada compõe-se de dicionários e arrolamentos populacionais. A partir da crítica historiográfica e da leitura de dicionários, elaboramos uma definição das práticas de agregar e agregar-se. A partir da metodologia do cruzamento nominal e da reconstituição de famílias, identificamos a família extensa de alguns agregados e conseguimos analisar as diferenças no seio desta categoria. A hipótese defendida é a de que agregar era uma prática difusa e que o agregado não constituía um grupo ou uma camada social específicos. Além disso, os objetivos dos responsáveis pela produção dos documentos precisam ser considerados como elementos relevantes para entender como o termo “agregado” foi utilizado quando da elaboração dos registros.
Da proibição do futebol de mulheres: a atuação do Conselho Nacional de Desportos e a interdição esportiva feminina no Brasil (1941-1957)
Authors: Ribeiro Raphael Rajão
Published: July 2023

Resumo: O presente artigo visa contribuir para o debate sobre os mecanismos para a efetivação da proibição da prática feminina de uma série de modalidades esportivas, notadamente do futebol, no Brasil, a partir de 1941, situação que se estendeu até 1979. A partir de um diálogo com a bibliografia sobre o tema e com a inclusão de fontes históricas oficiais e de imprensa, o trabalho avança na compreensão de como o Conselho Nacional de Desportos operava a interdição e como mobilizava teorias sobre a distinção entre os “sexos”, o que levou à regulamentação de um rol de esportes vedados às mulheres ainda em 1941. Por fim, por meio de um episódio vivenciado entre 1956 e 1957, demonstra como, passados 15 anos, novas experiências futebolísticas femininas foram, mais uma vez, interrompidas com base nas mesmas concepções sobre uma dada natureza das mulheres.

Authors: Alvarado Thiago Henrique
Published: July 2023

Resumo: A proposta do texto é analisar as prescrições dadas aos cristãos sobre os perigos da gula nos escritos, redigidos em latim ou em vernáculo, que circularam em Castela e em Portugal nos séculos XIV e XV. Nesse sentido, o estudo examina como foram divulgados aos cristãos castelhanos e portugueses, por meio de críticas e ensinamentos presentes, sobretudo, em tratados de confissão e moral, os meios mais adequados para prepararem seus alimentos ou desempenharem o ofício de cozinheiro, sem prejudicar a saúde corporal e a salvação da alma. O objetivo é compreender como esses escritos acompanharam as transformações nos modos de comer e propuseram meios para que, dessa necessidade, não sobreviessem malefícios ao corpo e à alma.

ENTROPY ANALYSIS OF HYBRID NANOFLUID FLOW OVER A ROTATING POROUS DISK: A MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS
Authors: Prakash J. , Tripathi Dharmendra , Akkurt Nevzat , Shedd Timothy
Published: July 2023

This article discusses the flow of a time-dependent biviscosity hybrid nanofluid boundary layer across a rotational permeable disk with effects of magnetic field and thermal radiation, and the subjective and quantitative transfer of heat flow. In the classic Von Karman issue, nanofluids comprising volume fractions of Ag-MgO/60% water and 40% ethylene glycol are considered instead of Newtonian regular fluids. The governing equations are transformed nonlinear ordinary differential equations using Von Karman transformations. The equation for the generation of entropy is calculated as a function of velocity and temperature gradient. This equation is made nondimensional by adding geometric and physical flow field-dependent parameters. The velocity profiles in the radial, tangential, and axial directions, as well as the axial pressure gradient, nanoparticle temperature distribution, local skin friction, Nusselt number, and Bejan number, are calculated by using MATLAB bvp4c. The multivariate analysis is implemented in the numerical results of the Nusselt number. A rotation parameter is generated by the spinning phenomena, which regulates the disk's movement. Increasing the rotation of the disk causes fluid velocity to accelerate in both the radial and cross-radial directions, while contrasting phenomena can be noticed in the axial velocity of the flow. The temperature and wall shear stress of a nanofluid both rise with the disc's Brinkman number and the volume fraction of nanoparticles. Increasing the thickness of the thermal boundary layer raises the axial pressure gradient. Entropy measured by the Bejan number Influences the magnetic field and the Biot number. Physical parameters presented in this article may be used to optimize the system's performance. A magnetic rotating porous disk drives could be used in nuclear space propulsion engines and in heat transfer augmentation in thermal management and renewable energy sources.
Use of digital technology to improve the way asphalt roads are constructed
Authors: McHale Michael J. , Gordon Michael , Ferguson Alan
Published: July 2023

Digital technology has the potential to improve the way asphalt roads are constructed and maintained. The application of technologies, such as remote monitoring and telemetry, are being used to improve the quality of asphalt materials during the construction phase. Based on real-time data, the movement and arrival of delivery vehicles can be monitored and material temperatures can be recorded at each stage of the paving process. Similarly, roller compactor passes can be mapped to show the number of passes, compaction temperature and area of mat covered. Importantly, the technology has the capacity to create a safer working environment for road workers. This paper describes a study that builds on previous research, with the aim of developing notes for guidance and compliance requirements for electronic data monitoring. A series of criteria are proposed to approve the level of compaction based on electronic data. The latter includes the adoption of a similar approach to that being used in the United States, although certain aspects have been adapted for the type of materials and equipment available in Scotland. It is intended that the compliance requirements will be trialled on forthcoming paving schemes to determine their effectiveness and whether further amendments are required.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: Today, there is a need to re imagine engineering education wherein the graduates should possess sound engineering knowledge and be globally employable with leadership qualities, ethical attitude, lifelong learning and social sensitivity. To make TCET an institute of national relevance; a lot of strategic shifts have been carried out over the years from its journey of an affiliated institute to being autonomous currently. We have planned, executed and monitored Choice Based Credit Grading System with Holistic Student Development (HSD) model as per AICTE model curriculum with the objective of making the budding engineers globally competent, locally relevant and skill oriented. The model has been designed taking inputs from reputed institutions abroad, feedback from stakeholders and a lot of brainstorming among experienced faculty members. The results of deploying this model on TCET students are promising and thus we propose the same to the outside world. The paper presents the efforts laid down over the years and the model in detail. We further propose a model with pointers from National Education Policy 2020 focussing Holistic and Multidisciplinary education, multiple exit options, Academic Bank of credit and option to obtain Degree with research alongwith experiential learning. We shall measure the proposed model on parameters as quality offerings, diversity and freedom of choice in offerings. Currently the measurements are presented in the form of survey results from stakeholders as the ones undergoing autonomy, batches prior to autonomy and the faculty members.

Abstract: In a rural area, vehicle washing and servicing always been done in a traditional way, either the technologies required are not easily available nor are affordable. But as a profound institute, we saw a vision to give customers the service with high-end technologies and at a low cost. Then after we department of Automobile engineering at RIT started the vehicle washing and serving center back in 1983. We kept customers always at the apex and strived to upgrade our servicing center. We refined the undergoing work and made standard operating procedures and started monitoring the activities weekly. Also, we started doing a market survey of what the customers really wanted from such a facility in order to enhance the overall performance of their vehicles at a low cost. We went nearby washing centers to look at what facilities are there? We thought that if we able to provide our customers onestop solution in vehicle servicing and validation of its performance then definitely the customers will attract and they will get what they want in single visit. As part of upgradation we successfully commissioned and running an online PUC center and new washing accessories such as vacuum cleaner, established new river water connection and installed CCTV. These facilities add value in servicing and validation of performance of the vehicle in low cost also these facilities are the part of student’s curriculum so our students are getting great exposer to such advanced technologies and they will have hands-on as well. So with this up-gradation we do consultancy work of servicing and validation of the performance of the vehicle at a low cost along with the student’s development.

Abstract: Educational Institutions are often under pressure for cost cutting. Electricity charges, especially in a residential institution, is one of the biggest drain on finances. In this case study, we would like to discuss the grid connected roof top solar project in Army Institute of Technology (AIT), Dighi, Pune. This 350 kW system has been installed without any cost to AIT, on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, for 25 years at the rate of Rs 6/- per electricity unit. The power generated by the system is approximately 1000 to 1200 electricity units per day as against a requirement of about 1800 to 2000 electricity units per day. Net Metering Policy implemented by Maharashtra Government enables AIT to send excess electricity generated during day time back to the grid. This excess power given to the grid is credited back during night time. A new Net Meter has been installed in AIT that provides daily status of the power import/export. This has resulted in Cost Savings of nearly Rs 1,50,000/- per month which comes close to Rs 18,00,000/- per annum. Keywords: AIT, Build-Operate-Transfer, cost cutting, grid, roof top, solar

Purpose: General surgeons at regional hospitals should have the primary trauma care skills necessary to treat critically ill trauma patients to withstand transfer. This study was conducted to identify a consensus on primary trauma care skills for general surgeons.Methods: An initial list of acute care surgical skills was compiled, and revised by six trauma experts (acute care surgeons); 33 skills were nominated for inclusion in the Delphi consensus survey. Participants (councilors of the Japanese Society for Acute Care Surgery) were presented with the list of 33 trauma care skills and were asked (using web-based software) to rate how strongly they agreed or disagreed (using a 5-point Likert scale) with the necessity of each skill for a general surgeon. The reliability of consensus was predefined as Cronbach’s α ≥ 0.8, and trauma care skills were considered as primarily required when rated 4 (agree) or 5 (strongly agree) by ≥ 80% participants.Results: There were 117 trauma care specialists contacted to participate in the Delphi consensus survey panel. In the 1st round, 85 specialists participated (response rate: 72.6%). In the 2nd round, 66 specialists participated (response rate: 77.6%). Consensus was achieved after two rounds, reliability using Cronbach’s α was 0.94, and 34 items were identified as primary trauma care skills needed by general surgeons.Conclusion: A consensus-based list of trauma care skills required by general surgeons was developed. This list can facilitate the development of a new trauma training course which has been optimized for general surgeons.
A Rare Case of Sigmoid Intussusception due to Sigmoid Diverticula in a Patient with Concomitant Extensive Small Bowel Diverticula
Authors: Laosebikan Adeyemi , Pillay Yagan
Published: July 2023

Small intestinal diverticula is a rare occurrence, and their surgical management remains controversial due to the lack of a recognized classification system. Complications such as perforation and obstruction are treated surgically. Their etiology remains nebulous but theories such as damage to the Auerbach’s nerve plexus have been advanced as a possible cause. The concomitant presence of a sigmoid intussusception due to diverticular disease in the same patient is truly a rare occurrence. The vast majority of colonic intussusception is due to malignancy and a benign etiology remains elusive. The reported cases of benign causes include a lipoma and benign lymphadenopathy. We believe this to be the first such case report of a colonic diverticulum causing an intussusception. Despite an exploratory laparotomy of less than sixty minutes, the patient demised in the intensive care unit following an occipital lobe stroke. We believe this case of sigmoid intussusception with concomitant small intestinal diverticula to be the first such case report of its kind in English-language scientific publications.

Authors: Clark Molly , Jones Morgan , Kong Joseph
Published: July 2023

A 60-year-old female presented with symptoms consistent with a large bowel obstruction (LBO). Following confirmation of LBO using imaging, she progressed to a laparotomy which potentially revealed a large rectosigmoid tumor with surrounding adhesions, deemed unresectable. The postoperative course was complicated by an enterocutaneous fistula. She was transferred to a tertiary center and underwent a repeat laparotomy which revealed a large fibrotic mass associated with an intra-luminal bread clip (expiry date 2002). This case report details the interesting causative nature of this LBO and the subsequent surgical management, and complicated postoperative course.
Amotivation in AI injected EFL classrooms: Implications for teachers
Authors: Sumakul Dian Toar  Y. G. , Hamied Fuad Abdul
Published: July 2023

Motivation is an essential aspect of students' success in their learning, and an investigation into the factors that could deteriorate their motivation could shed light on that issue. This study investigates amotivation during the application of artificial intelligence technology in EFL classrooms or AI-injected learning. As artificial intelligence is still a relatively new technology, but its application is becoming increasingly more prevalent in language classrooms, this study aims to explore factors that could negatively affect EFL students’ motivation to use technology in their learning. This study included questionnaires and interviews to collect data from 133 EFL students in an Indonesian higher education institution. The students had experience working with AI applications in their learning. The statistical analysis of the questionnaire data suggested that, although not dominant, amotivation was evident among the students. More than 25% of the students experienced amotivation while learning using the AI apps. The qualitative analysis of the interview data revealed three factors that could give rise to amotivation among the students when working with the AI apps: intelligence, user interface, and lesson design. Intelligence and user interface were internal to the AI apps, while lesson design was associated with the teachers' pedagogical competence in preparing the lessons for their students. This study suggests that app design and lesson design are two motivational factors that could affect students’ motivation in AI-injected learning.

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial desingn with four replications in the randomised plots. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% and 19.2%, respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.

Tomato cultivation ranks fourth in vegetable production in Boyaca. The largest production of Chonto tomato in greenhouses is supplied by the Alto Chicamocha irrigation and drainage district since it is the main agricultural production unit for the department. To investigate the physicochemical conditions of the soil and irrigation water in the crop and bacterial communities associated with the greenhouse Chonto tomato crop, a total of 15 crops of 50×50 m located within the irrigation and drainage district of Alto Chicamocha were analyzed. Soil and irrigation water samples were analyzed and the bacteriome associated with the crop rhizosphere was characterized. From the physicochemical results obtained, we observed a significant relationship between crop attributes, the physicochemical properties of soil, and irrigation water in the different study zones. On the other hand, in the bacterial composition associated with the crop (soil and irrigation water), a relationship was found between the genera Sphingomonas spp. and Sphingobium spp. with crop quality for the different crops evaluated.

Lettuce is part of the group of leafy vegetables that sees high consumption worldwide. However, population increases have forced excessive increases in fertilization, raising N levels both in the water and the soil and leading to serious environmental problems. As a result, appropriate fertilization management must be carried out; therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of nitrogen and magnesium on the growth and yield of crisp lettuce. A randomized complete block design was carried out with 10 treatments: a control plus nine treatments with a central compound and different combinations of nitrogen and magnesium doses. The variables leaf area ratio, SPAD chlorophyll index and relative growth rate decreased throughout the crop cycle. The application of 150 kg ha-1 of N + 18 kg ha-1 of Mg generated the highest production values and net assimilation rate. The response surface graph yielded a model with a maximum yield of 21 t ha-1 using fertilization with 93.8 kg ha-1 of nitrogen and 12.4 kg ha-1 of magnesium. The lower doses of both nitrogenous and magnesium fertilization showed the highest values of agronomic efficiency and partial productivity.

The article is devoted to one of the elements of the formation and adaptation of the historical memory of American society at a critical moment in their state’s history. The study is focused on the perception and transformation of the image of A. Lincoln in the public consciousness on the eve and in the midst of the largest world conflict. In particular, it is demonstrated how the A. Lincoln’s name was used in various spheres of American culture and politics to find a moral point of support and a value justification for the need to fight. The methodological basis of the article was the principle of historicism, systematic approach, problem-chronological method and descriptive method. The study’s theoretical basis is the concept of «cultural memory» of society, which is one of the elements of the broader phenomenon of «collective memory». The application of this theoretical toolkit provided an opportunity to cover the development of American society’s spiritual sphere and determine its value orientations in historical dynamics. Considering that virtually every society in the world, in one way or another, uses the names of historical figures to form its collective memory, this angle of consideration of the issue makes it relevant for the modern Ukrainian state as well. Conclusions. The study shows that the socio-political, economic, and cultural contexts that have been established in the country in certain historical periods, directly affect the formation of society’s cultural memory. In democracies with deep-rooted market economies, such as the United States, the collective perception of the past is decentralized, and the state plays a minimal role in the process. The thesis about the dependence of the formed images of separate historical figures on the socio-cultural, political, and economic context is also substantiated. This statement is proved by the example of Americans’ perception of the memory of the sixteenth President of the United States A. Lincoln in different historical periods of its development.
To study the US history in the 21st century: challenges, research optics, opportunities. Interview with professor Jennifer Klein

In 2021 Joe Biden came to power under the slogan «Battle for the Soul of the Nation». In the election campaign, his team saw it necessary to emphasize the idea of national unity around American democratic institutions and values. These values are interpreted quite traditionally for the U.S. — from the national exceptionalism ideology prism. History plays a significant role here: it increasingly fills ideological vacuums and becomes a tool for legitimizing political or economic action. Such political rhetoric today is only one of the symptoms of a general turn. A new revisionist wave in academic history is currently underway in the U.S. It reflects not only the topical debatable issues of American national history but also the ideological and constitutional crisis in the country. The content of discussions surrounding history teaching in educational institutions demonstrates the continuity and durability of this problem, which has been ongoing for more than 70 years. The transnational turn in American Studies increased attention to scientists’ research outside the U.S. and initiated the distancing of academic research from the dominant national mythos. However, in Ukraine, most research remains in the outdated Myth and Symbol School paradigm. Jennifer Klein, Professor of History in the field of 20th Century U.S. history at Yale University, specializes in social history and considers its approaches and methodology the most promising in understanding the origins of modern socio-economic and political trends. This article presents the interview with Professor Klein conducted in July 2022. We discussed the challenges to understanding the multi-ethnic history of the U.S., functions of history in social life, the problem of constructing a modern national American historical narrative, forms of its dependence on the political conjuncture, and the prospects of contemporary research on U.S. history.
Grounds and Methods of Acquiring Immovable Property Ownership in the Context of Recent Changes in Civil Legislation
Authors: Deryugina T. V.
Published: July 2023

The analysis of subjective civil rights doctrines allows us to conclude that there are several levels in their structure. Some theories initiate the process of acquiring the right, others finalize it. Most concepts (the concept of general and specific prerequisites for the emergence of the right, the concept of a legal fact structure, the concept of juridical composition, the concept of facts-states) are based to some extent on this division. From these positions, the author differentiates between the concepts of «emergence» and «acquisition» of a right, as well as the grounds and methods of acquiring property rights, where the basis is a prerequisite for the emergence of a right, and the method means actions aimed at acquisition. Grounds and methods cannot independently generate rights and obligations.A critical assessment of new grounds and methods of acquiring ownership of real estate from these theoretical standings made it possible to exclude the possibility of recognizing the «right of claim» enshrined in the law as a method of acquiring ownership to a land plot. Attention is drawn to the appearance of a number of categories that the law-maker fails to explain (the relevant real estate, the formation of an immovable thing, etc.), but the content of which has serious legal consequences. An attempt is made to differentiate the concepts of creation and formation of an immovable thing on the basis of the originality and derivation of the acquisition of ownership, where creation is the original method, and formation is a derivative, which entails not only the emergence of ownership of a new object, but also the termination of rights to the existing right. An assumption is made about the possibility of distinguishing the categories of creation and formation depending on its physical and legal element where creation is characterized by the appearance of an object in physical (material) embodiment, and formation means a legal separation (spinning-off0. The author argues that it is not possible to differentiate these categories without adjusting the legislation. The author justifies amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as a result of which formation can be considered as a new derivative method of acquiring real estate ownership.

Background. The study of the influence mechanisms of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on human homeostasis is still relevant. Of particular interest is the study of pathomorphological changes in the appendix in children with COVID-19 with the determination of the CD-phenotypic status of immunocompetent cells.
Aim. Immunohistochemical evaluation of appendix inflammation in children diagnosed with COVID-19.
Material and methods. The groups were formed on the basis of anamnestic, clinical and morphological data: the first group (n=42; age from 2 to 18 years, mean 10.84.9 years) surgical material of the vermiform processes of children with an established clinical diagnosis of coronavirus infection (COVID-19 based on PCR results); the second group (n=55; age from 2 to 18 years, mean 9.74.2 years) surgical material of the appendix after appendectomy in children with an established clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis obtained before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; the third group (n=38; age from 2 to 18 years, mean 10.33.2 years) control group, autopsy material of appendixes (intact). Histological and immunohistochemical studies were carried out using primary antibodies to CD3, CD4, CD68, CD20, CD138. The number of CD+ cells was determined by computer morphometry in 10 fields of view. Student's t-test was used in quantitative analysis for a significant comparison between groups. Then, the quantitative density of CD+ cells per 1 mm2 was converted into a scoring system for visual presentation by a semi-quantitative method.
Results. Most samples (n=41) of the first group showed signs of destructive phlegmonous-ulcerative appendicitis. An immunohistochemical study revealed an increase in the number of T-lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+), macrophages (CD68+), B-lymphocytes (CD20+) and plasma cells (CD138+) in the mucous membrane of the vermiform processes of children of the first group. In children of the second group, all clinical and morphological forms of acute appendicitis were found, the phenotype of immunocompetent cells corresponded to bacterial inflammation.
Conclusion. In children diagnosed with СOVID-19, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction, predominantly develop destructive forms of acute appendicitis, accompanied by microthrombosis and lymphocytic-plasmacytic infiltration with an increase in the number of immunocompetent cells CD3+, CD4+, CD68+, CD20+, CD138+.
