Authors: Shahadat Nazmul , Lama Ritika , Nguyen Anna
Published: September 2024

Lung and colon cancers are among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Early and accurate detection of these cancers is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. False or incorrect detection is more harmful. Accurately detecting cancer in a patient's tissue is crucial to their effective treatment. While analyzing tissue samples is complicated and time-consuming, deep learning techniques have made it possible to complete this process more efficiently and accurately. As a result, researchers can study more patients in a shorter amount of time and at a lower cost. Much research has been conducted to investigate deep learning models that require great computational ability and resources. However, None of these have had a 100% accurate detection rate for these life-threatening malignancies. Misclassified or falsely detecting cancer can have more harmful consequences.
This research proposes a new lightweight, parameter-efficient, and mobile-embedded deep learning model based on a 1D convolutional neural network with Squeeze-and-Excitation layers for efficient lung and colon cancer detection. This proposed model diagnoses and classifies lung squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinoma of the lung and colon from digital pathology images. Extensive experiment demonstrates that our proposed model achieves 100% accuracy for detecting lung, colon, and lung and colon cancers from the histopathological (LC25000) lung and colon datasets, which is considered the best accuracy for around 0.35 million trainable parameters and around 6.4 million flops. Compared with the existing results, our proposed architecture shows state-of-the-art performance in lung, colon, and lung and colon cancer detection.

Vitamin D deficiencies are very common in pregnant women, raising concerns about adverse health outcomes in children. This issue has hardly been studied in multiple pregnancies, the prevalence of which has been steadily increasing. Therefore, our study investigated the relationship between newborns’ anthropometric parameters and the concentration of 25(OH)D in maternal blood of women with twin pregnancies and umbilical cord blood. The study included 50 women who gave birth after the 36th week of twin gestation. 25(OH)D was determined in maternal blood collected during the antenatal period and in the umbilical cord blood of 100 newborns. Anthropometric parameters of the newborns (birth weight, length, head and chest circumference) were obtained from hospital records. Data on nutrition and lifestyle during pregnancy were collected from the patients during an interview conducted by a dietitian. No relationship between maternal and neonatal cord blood vitamin D concentrations and any of the anthropometric parameters of the newborns was found. However, only 6% of the mothers and 13% of the newborns had vitamin D deficiency (≤20 ng/mL). The type of pregnancy and maternal height were the main factors associated with neonatal size. Newborns from dichorionic pregnancies were on average 202 g heavier (p<0.001) and 1 cm longer (p=0.006) than newborns from monochorionic pregnancies. Newborns of mothers ≤ 160 cm in height had on average 206 g lower birth weight (p=0.006) and were 3.5 cm shorter (p=0.003) compared to newborns of taller mothers. Therefore, in our study, neonatal size of the twins was not related to the vitamin D status but to other factors such as the type of pregnancy and maternal height.
The Role of Tumor Microenvironment in T Cell Redirecting Therapies of Large B Cell Lymphoma: Translating Lessons Learned from CAR-T to Bispecific Antibodies
Authors: Lepik Kirill V , Markelov Vladislav V.
Published: September 2024

T-cell redirecting therapies, which include chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies (BSAs), have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed\refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Expanding clinical experience with these advanced therapies shows the potential for optimization of their use with combination or consolidation strategies, which necessitates prognostic stratification of patients. While traditional clinical prognostic factors identified in the era of chemotherapy are characterized by limited value, the tumor microenvironment (TME) is becoming a new prognostic cluster. We examine how the heterogeneity of LBCL, characterized by variations in tumor parameters and differences in TME immune cell composition, immune checkpoint expression, and cytokine milieu, correlates with both positive responses and resistance to treatment.
While classical parameters such as histological subtype, cell of origin, and target antigen expression lack proven prognostic value for T-cell redirecting therapies, the density and functional state of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor-associated macrophages, and immune checkpoint molecules are shown to be critical determinants of therapeutic success, particularly in CAR-T therapy. We identify several gaps in current knowledge and suggest that insights gained from CAR-T experience could be instrumental in refining BSA applications. This report also highlights limitations in current knowledge, as TME data derive from a limited number of registrational trials with varying methodologies, complicating cross-study comparisons and often focusing on immediate response metrics rather than long-term outcomes. By dissecting the complex interactions within the TME, this review aims to identify new prognostic factors and targets, ultimately fostering more effective and tailored treatment strategies for LBCL patients.

Plastics are very versatile materials that have contributed to the development of society since the 19th century, however, their mismanagement has led to an accumulation of waste in almost every ecosystem affecting the fauna of the planet. In this way recently, studies have shown that some insects might be able to adapt, consuming a wide range of hydrocarbon base polymers. In this work it was studied the adaptive capacity of Zophobas morio larvae when feeding on different synthetic polymers derived from petroleum. Four 30-day larval feeding treatments were carried out with synthetic polymers as expanded polystyrene (PS), low density polyethylene (PBD), polyisoprene (PI) and butyl rubber (BT), in addition a positive control of organic diet was included. Intestinal bacteria were isolated from the treatments and identified by Sanger sequencing. To analyze the chemical composition and physical form of the frass produced, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FITR) and images of the feces surface were taken with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. Zophobas morio larvae were able to consume 54% of PS in 30 days, equivalent to 3.2 mg/d/larva. Nine bacterial strains associated with the decomposition of synthetic polymers were identified in the intestine of the larvae. As for the physicochemical analysis of the feces, FTIR spectra showed the scission of bands corresponding to functional groups of the synthetic polymers in the comparison of the plastic diet treatments versus the feces of antibiotic-treated and plastic-fed larvae, while the comparison of spectra of the plastic and control treatments also identified differences in the absorption peaks. SEM imaging demonstrated that superworm feces differed in dependence on the substrate consumed. The findings demonstrate that Zophobas morio larvae possess a gut biological complex that allows them to feed and survive by consuming various petroleum-derived polymers.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the influence of human brands on the formation of Generation Z's digital identity. Given the increasing importance of the digital space in this generation's life, understanding how their identity is shaped by human brands in this environment is crucial. Method: Using a netnographic approach, qualitative data was collected and analyzed from 500 posts and interactions of Gen Z users on Instagram and TikTok platforms. Thematic content analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software, with inter-coder reliability confirmed (κ = 0.85). Findings: Results indicate that human brands influence Gen Z's digital identity through three main mechanisms: 1) lifestyle emulation (β = 0.42, p < 0.001), 2) value alignment (β = 0.38, p < 0.001), and 3) self-presentation modeling (β = 0.35, p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed these three factors explain 67\% of the variance in digital identity formation (R² = 0.67, F(3,496) = 335.42, p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that human brands play a significant role in shaping Generation Z's digital identity. Understanding this influence can help marketers and policymakers design more effective strategies for engaging with this generation.
Anti-calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Monoclonal Antibody Is Effective for Preventing Migraine Aura without Headache
Authors: Shibata Yasushi
Published: September 2024

Background: anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (CGRP mAbs) are clinically effective in preventing migraine attacks, photophobia, and migraine aura associated with headaches. However, no study has yet investigated the effectiveness of CGRP mAbs in preventing migraine aura without headache. Case report: A female patient of 49 years old has a long history (since age 10) of photosensitivity and typical migraine aura without headache. The symptoms slightly responded to oral medication but did not completely resolve. Just one day after the administration of galcanezumab, her photo-hypersensitivity and migraine aura had completely resolved. Consequently, the administration of the oral migraine preventive medication was discontinued. Monthly galcanezumab at the dose of 120 mg has been continuously given and she did not experience any aura or headache so far. Conclusions: CGRP mAbs is considered an effective treatment method in preventing migraine aura without headache. Although CGRP mAbs do not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, trigeminal nerve stabilization with CGRP mAb can prevent cortical spreading depression.

Published: September 2024

This study explores the comparative performance of FinBERT, GPT-4, and Logistic Regression for sentiment analysis and stock index prediction using the NGX All-Share Index dataset. By leveraging advanced language models like GPT-4 and FinBERT, alongside a traditional machine learning model, Logistic Regression, we aim to classify market sentiment, generate sentiment score, and predict market price movements. The models were assessed using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC AUC. Results indicate that Logistic Regression outperformed both FinBERT and GPT-4, with an accuracy of 81.83% and a ROC AUC of 89.76%. GPT-4 predefined approach exhibited a lower accuracy of 54.19% but demonstrated strong potential in handling complex data. FinBERT, while offering more sophisticated analysis, was computationally demanding and yielded a moderate performance. Hyperparameter optimization using Optuna and cross-validation techniques ensured the robustness of the models. This study highlights the strengths and limitations of these approaches in stock market prediction and presents Logistic Regression as the most efficient model for this task, with FinBERT and GPT-4 showing promise for future exploration.

Background: The acute hemodynamic response to isometric exercise in hypertensive patients ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to assess acute changes on left ventricular myocardial work (MW) during isometric bilateral knee extension in patients with IHD. Methods. Twenty stable hypertensive patients with IHD and ten healthy, age-matched controls (HC) were enrolled. All subjects performed an isometric knee extension exercise, at 30% of their maximal voluntary contraction. The effort was maintained for three minutes or until exhaustion. At baseline, at peak exercise and after 10 minutes of recovery, echocardiography evaluation was perforned, blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measurement. Results. The exercise was well tolerated by all subjects. At peak exercise: systolic BP in the IHD was significantly higher than HC (37.6± 7.2 vs 8.4±2.3 mmHg; p = 0.002). HC group had a greater increase in HR than IHD (19.7±6.2 vs 8.4±2.2 bpm; p = 0.009). E/E’ ratio increased in IHD and was unchanged in control. Global work index increased significantly in IHD compared to HC (+15% vs +3%; p 0.026). Global constructive work increased significantly in IHD compared to HC (+29.8% vs +7.4 respectively, p 0.031). Global waste work increased by 92.3% in IHD and was unchanged in HC. Global work efficiency decreased in IHD (-18%) while was unchanged in HC (between-groups p 0.019). Stroke volume decreased in IHD. and was unchanged in HC. Cardiac output was unchanged in IHD while it increased in HC. Conclusion: In patients with hypertension and underlying IHD, an acute isometric load caused a great increase in systolic BP and LV filling pressure. It follows a mostly ineffective increase of MW that fails to maintain stroke volume.

Published: September 2024

Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular disorder linked to high morbidity and mortality. For patients unsuitable for surgery, transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with the MitraClip® G4 system offers an alternative. This study aims to evaluate procedural, echocardiographic, functional, and quality of life (QoL) outcomes in patients who underwent TEER with the MitraClip® G4 system, along with possible predictors of New York Heart Associa-tion (NYHA) class I at 30 days and 1 year. Methods: Patients with moderate-to-severe (3+) or se-vere (4+) degenerative MR (DMR) or functional MR (FMR), classified as NYHA class III or IV, who underwent TEER with the MitraClip® G4 system at our center between January 2021 and De-cember 2023 were included. Results: A total of 83 patients [71% FMR, 66% male, median (IQR) age 70 (11) years] underwent TEER, with 100% procedural success. MR ≤2+ was achieved in 100% and 98% of patients at 30 days and 1 year, respectively. NYHA class I or II was achieved in 100% and 96.8% of patients at 30 days and 1 year, respectively. The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Ques-tionnaire (KCCQ) score improved from 51±20 at baseline to 69±15 at 30 days (p< 0.001) and 70.5±15 at 1 year (p< 0.001). Lower baseline N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) pre-dicted achieving NYHA class I at 30 days (HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41–0.95, p = 0.030), while lower Eu-ropean System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroSCORE II) and NT-proBNP pre-dicted it at 1 year [(HR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.28–0.89, p = 0.019), (HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.44–0.99, p = 0.049), respectively]. Conclusions: The MitraClip® G4 system provides significant improvements in MR severity, functional class, and QoL. Lower NT-proBNP and EuroSCORE II were strong predictors of achieving optimal functional status (NYHA class I).

The Powers of the Soul in David of Augsburg’s 'De Exterioris et Interioris Hominis Compositione'
Authors: Pansters Krijn
Published: September 2024

David of Augsburg, who lived from c. 1200 to 1272, is perhaps one of the least known of the most read authors of the late Middle Ages. His opus magnum, De exterioris et interioris hominis compositione secundum triplicem statum incipientium, proficientium et perfectorum, written in the 1240s in Regensburg, is one of the most successful books of learning in the Northern part of Europe in the Late Middle Ages. It is a voluminous treatise consisting of three books, structured according to Pseudo-Dionysius’ three steps of the spiritual life. Within this triple scheme, the three powers of the soul (understanding, memory, and will) are presented as central to the whole trajectory of spiritual growth towards God. This article addresses five paradoxes that one encounters while studying David and his extensive treatise, in particular the parts on the powers of the soul.
Robert Grosseteste, Peter John Olivi and John Duns Scotus on Freedom of the Will
Authors: Marenbon John
Published: September 2024

Duns Scotus’s claim that the will, both human and divine, has a capacity for opposites at a single instant has been seen as a turning point in the history of modality. But historians have discovered anticipations of Scotus’s position in Robert Grosseteste and Peter John Olivi. I argue that none of these three authors focuses on modality or has a new modal theory, but that the discussions do show the development of a new view about freedom of the will and what is required for it. The discussions also raise the question of whether immutability (the impossibility of changing) is sufficient for God’s simplicity, or whether it must also be impossible for God to be in any way otherwise, as Grosseteste, but not Scotus, holds.

Exploring reasons behind low usage of ERP in Plant Maintenance in an engineering workshop
Authors: CHATTERJEE ARKA , De Jagannath
Published: September 2024

Maintenance in an asset intensive industry like steel significantly affects its organizational efficiency along with other critical areas like safety, reliability, environment etc. This study has been carried out in an engineering workshop of an integrated steel plant of a public sector behemoth. Here, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) had primarily rolled out in three modules- plant production (PP), materials management (MM) and plant maintenance (PM) in 2010. Despite the multiple benefits that can be accrued, it is observed that the system has not percolated seamlessly across the organization. Seamless diffusion had been interrupted over the last decade due to host of internal and external factors. This paper is not a study about the binary adoption (yes/ no) of the ERP system. This paper explores the usage levels of the system in plant maintenance and focuses on the reasons of low diffusion.

Published: September 2024

Conclusion: MTCs exhibited malignant sonographic features similar to PTCs, but also had their own unique characteristics. C-TIRADS was more suitable for distinguishing MTCs from PTCs than the Kwak-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS, but their diagnostic performance values were not ideal.
Objective: To compare ultrasonographic characteristics and diagnostic performance of medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs)and papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) with three Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADS), TIRADS proposed by Kwak (Kwak-TIRADS), the Chinese-TIRADS (C-TIRADS) and the 2017 American College of Radiology management guidelines (ACR-TIRADS).
Methods: This retrospective study was approved by the Ruijin hospital institutional review board.118 MTC nodules in 96 patients and 511 PTC nodules in 381 patients were included and that all were surgically and pathologically confirmed. Age, size and multiplicity were analyzed by independent sample t test. Sex and sonographic features, including position, composition, echogenicity, shape, border, margin, microcalcification, vascularization distribution and degree were evaluated byχ2orFisher exact test. Each thyroid nodule was categorized by Kwak-TIRADS, C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS, and the diagnostic performances was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
Results: MTCs had a large size, and most of them were larger than 1 cm (P=0.000). Female patients were more common in this study(P=0.035). There was no statistical difference between MTCs and PTCs in age and multiplicity (P > 0.05). The significant statistical differences appeared in various ultrasound features between PTCs and MTCs (P < 0.05).C-TIRADS had the highest diagnostic efficacy (AUC=0.721), followed by Kwak-TIRADS (AUC=0.695) and the lowest ACR-TIRADS (AUC=0.523) (P<0.0001). Best cut-off point for Kwak-TIRADS, C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS were 4c, 4c and TR5. Among the three types of TIRADS, C-TIRADS had the highest sensitivity (66.73%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (32.00%), while KWAK-TIRADS had the highest specificity (72.03%) and positive predictive value (PPV) (90.52%).
Learning with noisy labels via clean-aware sharpness-aware minimization
Authors: Huang Bin , Zhang Ping , Xie Ying , xu chaoyang
Published: September 2024

Noise label learning has attracted considerable attention owing to its ability to leverage large amounts of inexpensive and imprecise data. Sharpness-aware minimization (SAM) has shown effective improvements in the generalization performance in the presence of noisy labels by introducing adversarial weight perturbations in the model parameter space. However, our experimental observations have shown that the SAM generalization bottleneck primarily stems from the difficulty of finding the correct adversarial perturbation amidst the noisy data. To address this problem, a theoretical analysis of the mismatch in the direction of the parameter perturbation between noise and clean samples during the training process was conducted. Based on these analyses, a clean-aware sharpness-aware minimization algorithm known as CA-SAM is proposed. CA-SAM dynamically divides the training data into possible likely clean and noisy datasets based on the historical model output and uses likely clean samples to determine the direction of the parameter perturbation. By searching for flat minima in the loss landscape, the objective was to restrict the gradient perturbation direction of noisy samples to align them while preserving the clean samples. By conducting comprehensive experiments and scrutinizing benchmark datasets containing diverse noise patterns and levels, it is demonstrated that our CA-SAM outperforms certain innovative approaches by a substantial margin.

The strategic integration of functional monomers within the molecular structure of polycarboxylate superplasticizers offers a viable route to augment their inherent performance capabilities or introduce novel functionalities. In this investigation, a novel silane-modified polycarboxylate superplasticizer (Si-PCE) was synthesized via a free radical polymerization process at room temperature. This synthesis leveraged the high reactivity of ethylene glycol monoethylene glycol ether (EPEG), acrylic acid (AA), and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEO) as the core monomers. The chemical structure of Si-PCE was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), and Energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). To evaluate the performance of Si-PCE, its influence on the early hydration products of cement was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the dispersibility of Si-PCE was assessed through cement paste fluidity and mortar fluidity tests, while its impact on mechanical property was investigated via mortar strength measurement. The findings revealed that Si-PCE surpassed silane-free PCEs in terms of dispersibility and dispersion retention, leading to enhanced mechanical property. In addition, the adaptability of Si-PCE in sulfate-rich environments was examined by conducting cement paste fluidity, mortar fluidity, and mortar compressive strength tests. Notably, Si-PCE demonstrated superior performance compared to its silane-free counterpart, particularly in high-sulfate environments, where it effectively dispersed cement particles and significantly bolstered the mechanical property of cement mortar. In conclusion, Si-PCE exhibited not only superior performance under conventional conditions but also remarkable adaptability and stability in sulfate-rich environments, thereby portending its extensive potential for application and profound implications.

Published: September 2024

This study examined the effect of LED light colors and intensities on production performance and economic feasibility of 720 Babcock® White layers. The layer birds were reared for 13 weeks from 17 to 30 weeks of age during the layer production cycle. Light treatments of 6 different colors, i.e., cool white (control group), red, blue, green, yellow, and warm white light with 3 different levels of light intensities (15, 20 and 25 lux), were provided. Weekly growth parameters, egg production, egg quality characters and economics were evaluated. Hormonal profile (FSH, LH, GnRH, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol) and antibody titers against Newcastle Disease (ND) and Infectious Bronchitis (IB) were also evaluated. Observed data were evaluated by CRD with a factorial layout. Tukey's test was used for means comparison. The graphical presentation was done by Origin Pro 2024. The results showed that red light increased feed intake but led to lower body weights and inefficient feed conversion ratios (FCR), whereas birds under warm white light at 25 lux gained higher weight, had better FCR (1.89 in the 30th week), laid better eggs (97.34% by the 30th week), with improved egg quality. Mortality rates and hormonal levels also varied notably with light conditions, with warm white light showing the lowest mortality and optimal hormonal balances conducive to productivity. Birds kept under warm white light having 15 lux intensity may be applied during (17–30) weeks of age to reduce cost of the production for better profitability in layer farming (Rs: 1897.9).

В конце 1980-х и начале 1990-х демократические страны Южного конуса Америки, казалось, преодолели большинство проблем, унаследованных от военных режимов. Главными проблемами стали достижение стабильности, роста, укрепления места на мировых рынках. Роль государства ставилась под сомнение, а единственным регулятором признавалась невидимая сила рынка. Политика примирения была быстрой и поверхностной, чтобы отодвинуть на второй план требования справедливости и правды. Эта политика должна была стереть из памяти репрессии, исчезновения людей в Аргентине, Бразилии и Чили. Предлагалось забыть прошлое. Память стала полем борьбы. Но эта «битва памяти» не сводилась к борьбе за правду о недавнем прошлом, она неотделима от дебатов об обществе, которое мы стремимся построить. Переход от диктатуры, организованный на основе договорённостей с ней и её союзниками, создал механизмы организации коллективной памяти. Навязанный официальный неконфликтный нарратив вступил в противоречие с другими видами противостоящей ему памяти, прежде всего памяти жертв, но также и палачей.

At the end of the 80’s and the beginning of the next decade, the rising democracies from the Southern Cone of Latin America, they seem to have overcome completely many of the problems inherited from the dictatorship. The new democracies were oriented towards issues of stability, the growing up and the linkage to the market. The role of the state was challenged and empowered by market as the sole regulator of life. A quick and political reconciliation cosmetic crushed the demands of justice and truth. Thereby erased the memory of repression and enforced disappearances in Argentine, Brazil and Chile. They were considered as things that belong to the past and it was necessary to forget. However, the social memories, far from being appeased or expired were fields of dispute what came to be called Battles Memories. The struggle was not for the truth about the recent past. His recovery was inseparable from the debate on the societies that were to be built. The agreed transitions with the dictatorship and their allies deployed devices and mechanisms to manage the social memory. An official sanitized version of history lived, which was faced with various opposing memories. Not only the victims but also the perpetrators.

Статья посвящена влиянию институциональных факторов Российской Империи на процесс становления и развития польского научного исторического журнала «Przegląd Historyczny» в начале XX в. Важнейшим фактором, препятствовавшим данному процессу, было давление со стороны государственных институций. Либерализация политики Российской Империи по отношению к прессе и польским организациям после 1905 г. привела к возрождению научной жизни в Царстве Польском. Второй фактор – сформировавшаяся сеть общественных институций и организаций, осуществлявших финансовую и организационную поддержку научных институций.

Thе article examines the influence of the institutional arrangements of the Russian Empire on the emergence of an academic historical journal named «Przegląd Historyczny» in the Kingdom of Poland in the early 20th century. The main factor, which hindered this process, was the pressure of governmental institutions. The liberalization of the regime`s policies after 1905 led to revival of the academic life in Poland. Another factor, which influenced the establishment and development of the new journal, was the network of public institutions. These organizations helped to maintain science and counteracted the governmental pressure. The second topic of this acticle is the form of editorial work in the «Przegląd Historyczny», that changed dramatically in the period between 1905 and 1914.

Бурное развитие медицинского знания, начавшееся во второй половине ХХ в., сопровождается непрекращающимися дискуссиями, в ходе которых наряду с врачами принимают участие представители различных направлений гуманитарной мысли. За прошедшие десятилетия участникам этих дискуссий удалось артикулировать целый ряд проблем, вызванных медицинским прогрессом. Предлагаемая статья фокусируется на наиболее значимых идеях, касающихся медицинского технократизма, гуманизации медицинского образования, необходимости изучения альтернативного медицинского опыта и опыта самих пациентов, фундаментального раскола медицинской практики на лечение и уход, порождающего глубокие этические проблемы.

The rapid development of medical knowledge, which began in the second half of the twentieth century, is followed by ongoing discussions, in which, along with the doctors, intellectuals from different areas of humanities take part. Over the past decade, the participants in these discussions failed to articulate a series of problems caused by medical advances. This article focuses on the most significant ideas about the medical technocracy, the humanization of medical education, the need to explore alternative medical experience and experience of the patients themselves, the fundamental split between curing and caring in medical practice, generating profound ethical problems.
“Culture based on the protocol”. Sanitary doctors in Siberia at the turn of the century: between knowledge and practice
Authors:  Яковлева Т.
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме замены традиционных санитарных практик в городах Енисейской губернии на «современные», основанные на научном знании. Основным источником новых знаний являлись санитарные врачи. Автор показывает, что в оппозиции преобразованиям находились не только местные жители, имевшие свои представления о санитарии и гигиене, подкрепленные многолетним опытом, но и представители местной власти. Это вынуждало санитарных врачей вырабатывать новые способы достижения целей и идти путем не принуждения, а просвещения.

This article deals with the replacement of traditional sanitary practices in the cities of the Yenisei Province with "modern" ones based on new scientific knowledge, the main source of which was sanitary doctors. The author shows that the opposition to transformation was comprised of not only local residents, who had their own ideas about hygiene and sanitation, but also local authorities. Sanitary doctors in turn, were forced to develop new ways to achieve their objectives, choosing the route of education.
Space of historical memory in a Siberian city district: a reconstruction
Authors:  Жидченко А.
Published: September 2024

В статье раскрывается опыт применения модели анализа пространства исторической памяти городского района, включающей в себя четыре элемента: архитектурно-планировочный ландшафт района, памятники и памятные места как координаты социокультурной преемственности, эволюция повседневности, а также общий анализ коллективной и индивидуальной памяти жителей района, который находится на стыке семейной, локальной и глобальной (национальной) истории. Исследование носит междисциплинарный характер, а предложенная модель апробирована на материалах нескольких городских районов крупных городов Западной Сибири.

The article presents a case study that used an analysis of the space of historical memory of an urban district, based on four elements: architectural landscape of a district, monuments and places of memory as coordinates of cultural continuity, evolution of everyday life, and general analysis of collective and individual memory of people who live in a district – a combination of family, local and global (national) history. This is an interdisciplinary study, and the model described here was applied to a number of urban districts in the cities of Western Siberia.

ИСТОРИЧЕСКАЯ НАУКА В XXI ВЕКЕ КЛЮЧЕВЫЕ СЛОВА
Authors: Савельева И.М.
Published: September 2024

В статье подводятся первые итоги XXI века для исторической науки. Под углом зрения существования истории в поле старых и новых социальных дисциплин анализируются новые объекты изучения, развитие понятийного аппарата, основные категории и междисциплинарные альянсы. Как показывает автор, в последние десятилетия стандарты строгого научного изложения, заложенные в 1960-е гг. ‘новой научной историей’, значительно ослабли, при этом предметное поле исторической науки неимоверно расширилось. Изменилось отношение историков к теоретическим моделям. Снизилась ответственность высказываний, и в результате обычной стала практика волюнтаристского объединения разных теорий, концептов и понятий в одном исследовании. Дисциплинарный язык заметно преобразился. Произошедшие изменения объясняются, в том числе, влиянием новых социальных наук, на которые переключилось внимание историков: cultural studies, memory studies, urban studies, media studies, cinema studies, digital studies, семиотика и пр. В результате историческая наука сегодня отражает общие тренды в развитии наук о человеке.

This article summarizes manifesting trends that develop in historical discipline in the 21st century: new research topics, transformation of lexicon, main categories and interdisciplinary alliances. The author demonstrates that in the past few decades standards of the stern scientific approach established in 1960s by the new scientific history considerably deteriorated while the subject area has broadened enormously. The attitude of historians towards theoretical models has changed. The requirement for accuracy of scientific statements declined and, as a result, the eclectic merging of different theories, concepts and ideas in the same research has become a common practice. The disciplinary language of contemporary historian has changed significantly as well. These changes might be explained by paradigm shifting and influence of new social sciences: cultural studies, memory studies, urban studies, media studies, cinema studies, digital studies, semiotics and others. To sum up, contemporary historical science reflects the state of social sciences.
Arian crisis of the 4th century and the formation of West-East opposition in the Early Christian tradition
Authors: Захаров Г.Е.
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена возникновению в рамках раннехристианской традиции оппозиции между Западом и Востоком. Автор показывает, что уже арианский кризис IV в. интерпретировался современниками как столкновение локальных церквей Востока и Запада. В то же время категории «Восток» и «Запад» в христианской традиции прямо не связывались с областями распространения латинского и греческого языка или с политико-административным делением Империи. В эту эпоху противопоставление Востока и Запада было обусловлено развитием института церковного собора. Причем отсутствие четкого разделения областей юрисдикции восточных и западных соборов и жесткого регламента функционирования самого соборного института придавали понятиям «Восток» и «Запад» семантическую неопределенность.

This article deals with the emergence of the West-East opposition within the Early Christian tradition. The author shows that even the Arian crisis in the 4th century was interpreted by the contemporaries as a struggle between the Churches of East and West. At the same time, the categories the "East" and the "West" in the Christian tradition were not directly linked with the dissemination of the Latin and Greek language and the political and administrative division of the Empire. The opposition between East and West was in this period due to the development of the institution of the church council. At the same time, the absence of a clear division of areas of jurisdiction of the eastern and western councils and of strict regulation of the Synodal activity made extremely vague in the ecclesiastical tradition the very "western" and "eastern" identities.

В середине XVII в. кардинал Мазарини инициировал постановку итальянских опер в театральных залах столицы Французского королевства – так он познакомил придворных и парижан с этим жанром музыкального театра. Как эти роскошные спектакли на иностранном языке с барочными декорациями и машинами повлияли на музыкальный театр Франции, на придворный балет, который был частью государственного церемониала Старого порядка, так как в его постановках участвовали монарх, принцы и гранды? Какую роль итальянская опера сыграла в создании образа королевской власти в первые десятилетия царствования Людовика XIV?

In the middle of the 17th century, Cardinal Mazarin initiated the production of Italian opera in the theater halls of the capital of the French kingdom, so he introduced this genre of musical theater to the court and Parisians. How did these luxurious performances in a foreign language with Baroque decorations and the machines influenced the French musical theater and court ballet, a part of the state ceremonial of the Ancien Régime, as monarch, princes and grandees participated in his production? What was the role played by Italian opera in the creation of a public image of the monarchy in the first decades of the reign of Louis XIV?
Regional pilgrimage of Muslims of Russian Turkestan: little-known pages
Authors: Литвинов В.П.
Published: September 2024

В статье рассматривается фактически неизученная проблема использования турецкой разведкой «святых мест» мусульман Средней Азии для проведения антироссийской пропаганды. Проникновение России в Туркестан вызвало испуг у правящих кругов Османской империи, отреагировавшей на это засылкой своих агентов в Прикаспийский регион. Османская агентура осуществляла подрывную деятельность, как правило, у «святых мест» ислама в Средней Азии, поскольку именно у них собирались значительные массы паломников-мусульман – благодатная аудитория для усвоения идей панисламизма и пантюркизма. Фактически все антирусские бунты в регионе «вырастали» у могил исламских «праведников».

The article deals with an unstudied problem: the use by the Turkish intelligence of “holy places” of Central Asia Muslims to conduct anti-Russian propaganda. The penetration of Russia into Turkestan in the mid-19th century caused fear among the ruling circles of the Ottoman Empire, which reacted to this by sending agents to the Caspian region. Ottoman agents carried out their subversive activities, as a rule, at “holy places” of Islam in Central Asia, because large numbers of Muslim pilgrims gathered there – a gracious audience to assimilate the ideas of pan-Islamism and pan-Turkism. In fact, all anti-Russian riots in the region “grew” at the graves of Islamic “righteous men”.
The National Question and Its Solution in the Liberal Projects of the Russian Emigration (1920-1930s)
Authors: Смагина С.М.
Published: September 2024

В статье исследуется малоизученный аспект истории либеральной российской эмиграции 1920–1930-х гг., в частности, представления ее различных кругов о решении национального вопроса в России. В социальном прогнозировании это выразилось в признании, кстати, впервые вошедшем в теоретический багаж русских либералов, возможности превращения постбольшевистской России в федеративное государство и необходимости снижения порога противостояния не только в постсоветском пространстве, но и в самой эмиграции.

This article considers a little-known aspect of the Liberal Russian emigration history of the 1920-1930s, in particular, the émigrés’ opinion about the solution to the national question in Russia. In social perspective, this has resulted in the recognition, the first in the Russian liberal thought, of the possibility to developing Post Bolshevist Russia into a Federal state and the necessity to the decrease the level of opposition not only in the post-Soviet space, but also in the emigration.
