Authors: Buitrago-Laguado Johanna , Ruiz Linares Carlos , Otero Regino William Alberto
Published: December 2021

Antecedentes: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) afecta a 50% de la humanidad. Los tratamientos usuales han disminuido su eficacia por aumento de la resistencia a los antibióticos, excepto: amoxicilina, tetraciclina, furazolidona y bismuto. Recientemente hay un nuevo interés en la terapia dual con altas dosis de inhibidores de bomba de protones (IBP) y amoxicilina como terapia inicial y como rescate. En nuestro medio no hay estudios al respecto.

Objetivo: determinar la eficacia de la terapia dual con altas dosis de IBP y amoxicilina para erradicar H. pylori.

Material y métodos: estudio cuasiexperimental realizado entre diciembre de 2019 y julio de 2020 en mayores de 18 años, con H. pylori identificado histológicamente. Todos recibieron esomeprazol 40 mg media hora antes de desayuno, almuerzo y cena mas amoxicilina 1 gramo oral cada 8 horas por 14 días. La erradicación se determinó con antígenos fecales (OnSiteTM H. pylori Biotech Inc) después de cuatro semanas del tratamiento.

Resultados: se incluyeron 108 pacientes, con edad promedio de 67 años, 70% mujeres. La erradicación por protocolo (PP) e intención de tratar (ITT) fue de 86% (IC95% 79.4-92.5%) para ambos. En los pacientes con tratamiento previo (26%) la eficacia fue de 85.7% (IC95% 71.8-99.5%). Los eventos adversos fueron leves en 31%, especialmente náuseas (16%) y distensión abdominal (14%). En ninguno se suspendió el tratamiento.

Conclusión: la terapia dual es eficaz, fácil de administrar y con pocos efectos adversos. Sería una buena opción en nuestro medio como terapia inicial y como rescate. Se requieren estudios más grandes para verificar nuestros resultados.

High-quality tourism destinations nowadays become the expectations of tourism stakeholders. However, these quality tourism destinations do not have a definition and key performance indicator that can be used as a measurement indicator, so this research is necessary. This study tries to measure the quality of tourism destinations based on the perspective of Bali tourism respondents. In this survey, the attitude of the respondents was measured using a choice of 5 Likert scales that directly asked their attitude towards various indicators on two elements, namely the tourist quality variable and the destination quality measurement variable. The results of a survey of 200 informants illustrate that the respondents' views on all indicators that are considered as indicators of measuring the quality of tourists and indicators of tourism destinations. They can be used as indicators to measure other destinations with adjustments according to their conditions. The novelty in this studies is three factors that have been formed key factors of tourism destination quality. The first is named the quality beautiful destination and unique attraction. The second factor is named quality tourist spending and respect local culture minded. The third factor is named the quality climate and weather condition and infrastructure.

Published: December 2021

В статье рассматриваются разработки методов интеллектуальной поддержки процесса диагностики сахарного диабета, а также определение его типа. В последние годы количество людей, страдающих данным заболеванием, неуклонно растет, а без своевременной диагностики эта патология может нанести огромный вред организму человека. Сахарный диабет 1 типа опасен тем, что в основном возникает у людей молодого возраста. Оперативное обнаружение диабета, а также определение его типа, поможет не только избежать возможных осложнений, но и в некоторых случаях предотвратить смерть пациента. Информационные технологии все чаще используются в различных сферах деятельности для разработки новых или совершенствования существующих методов обработки данных, особенно это можно заметить в сфере медицины. В настоящее время врач самостоятельно ставит диагноз, основываясь на результатах различных анализов, однако, для ускорения процесса принятия решения, можно воспользоваться методами математического моделирования, а именно: моделями диагностики диабета на основе нечеткой логики. Для наибольшего удобства данный способ распознавания заболевания впоследствии можно реализовать в информационно-программное обеспечение, которое сможет еще больше увеличить эффективность и скорость распознавания патологии

The article discusses the issues of the incidence of diabetes in the population, in particular, the definition of its type. In recent years, the number of people suffering from this disease has been steadily growing, and without timely diagnosis, this pathology can cause enormous harm to the human body. Prompt detection of diabetes, as well as determination of its type, will help not only avoid possible complications, but also in some cases prevent the death of the patient. Information technology is increasingly being used in various fields of activity to develop new or improve existing methods of data processing, especially in the field of medicine. Currently, the doctor independently makes a diagnosis based on the results of various analyzes, however, to speed up the decision-making process, you can use the methods of mathematical modeling, namely, models of diabetes diagnostics based on fuzzy logic. For the greatest convenience, this method of disease recognition can subsequently be implemented in information software, which can further increase the efficiency and speed of pathology recognition

В статье представлена разработка технического проекта по созданию прибора для неинвазивной оценки параметров центральной гемодинамики. Сердечно-сосудистые заболевания являются основной причиной смерти во всем мире: ни по какой другой причине ежегодно не умирает столько людей, сколько от патологий сердца. По оценкам, за последние годы от сердечных заболеваний умерло 17,9 миллиона человек, что составило 31% всех случаев смерти в мире. Другой известной причиной смертей являются различные аритмии. Таким образом, из-за растущего количества людей, страдающих патологий сердца, необходимо во время лечения как можно подробнее изучать состояние сердечно-сосудистой системы во избежание негативных последствий. Чтобы обеспечить более высокую результативность лечения, используется метод электроимпедансной реокардиографии, который позволяет оценить суммарное кровенаполнение органов и тканей. Целью данной статьи являлась разработка технического проекта по созданию прибора для неинвазивной оценки параметров центральной гемодинамики. Представлен теоретический этап разработки технического устройства. Описаны существующие методы измерений - трансторакальные или прекордиальные для нахождения необходимых параметров сердечно-сосудистой системы с помощью реокардиографии. Предложены технические характеристики разрабатываемой биотехнической системы, а также схема и описание прибора

The article presents the development of a technical project for the creation of a device for non-invasive assessment of the parameters of central hemodynamics. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide: for no other reason as many people die every year as from heart disease. An estimated 17.9 million people have died from heart disease in recent years, accounting for 31% of all deaths worldwide. Various arrhythmias are another known cause of death. Thus, due to the growing number of people suffering from heart pathologies, it is necessary during treatment to study the state of the cardiovascular system in as much detail as possible in order to avoid negative consequences. To ensure a higher efficiency of treatment, the method of electrical impedance rheocardiography is used, which allows to assess the total blood volume of organs and tissues. The purpose of this article was to develop a technical project to create a device for non-invasive assessment of the parameters of central hemodynamics. The theoretical stage of the development of a technical device is presented. The existing measurement methods are described - transthoracic or precordial to find the necessary parameters of the cardiovascular system using rheocardiography. The technical characteristics of the developed biotechnical system, as well as the scheme and description of the device are proposed

Sunan Giri dalam Legitimasi Kekuasaan Mataram pada Babad Tanah Jawi
Authors: Wahyudi M. Ilham
Published: December 2021

Sunan Giri was the Islamic priest in Java who had enough enormous influence especially in 15-17 th AD century. The name of “Sunan Giri” is not limited referring to Raden Paku (Sunan Giri I) who started the political entity of Giri Kedhaton, but also refers to almost all of the sunans from Giri who are also descendants of Sunan Giri I. The Babad Tanah Jawi (BTJ) as a historical literature book of the Mataram palace in addition to telling the history of Java from the pre-Demak era to Mataram, on the other hand also mentions a lot about the existence of Sunan Giri. This research seeks to reveal the legitimacy narratives of the Islamic Mataram Kingdom in BTJ involving Sunan Giri as a religious figure who can exert political influence on them. By using a qualitative-descriptive method, the writer analyzes the text data of BTJ's narratives that contain elements of legitimacy involving Sunan Giri. From the philological data, it is then balanced with historical data from several historical works to find out how the socio-political conditions occurred in the 15th-17th century AD, especially in Java. The mention of legitimacy related to Sunan Giri in BTJ occurred in the early of Demak, early of Pajang, early until the mid of Mataram. Those stories are closely related to the existence of Sunan Giri as a priest with enormous influence both in Java and outside Java. Therefore, BTJ, which contains such information, has become one of the media for the legitimacy of power by the kings of Mataram.

Особливості планування в умовах розвитку освітніх систем
Authors: Пастовенський Олександр
Published: December 2021

У статті досліджено особливості планування в умовах розвитку освітніх систем. Зроблено висновок, що в залежності від фази розвитку закладу як освітньої системи (жорстка система, система з делегованими управлінськими повноваженнями, «м’яка» система, система з мережевою взаємодією, синергетична система) планування його діяльності має здійснюватися на основі диференційованої участі в цьому процесі керівництва, самоврядування закладу та зацікавлених громадських структур. Підкреслено, що рівень участі самоврядування закладу та громадських структур у плануванні (на основі консультацій чи узгодження позицій з керівництвом та з іншими учасниками освітнього процесу) залежить як від фази розвитку закладу, так і від виду планування (стратегічне, тактичне, оперативне) та особливостей субфункцій планування (планувально-діагностувальної, планувально-цільової, планувально-критеріальної, планувально-програмної, планувально-ресурсної, планувально-інформаційної субфункцій). Наголошено, що з розвитком освітніх систем у процесі планування змінюються також форми взаємодії керівництва, органів самоврядування закладу та громадських структур, які стають все більше демократичними – від наказів та інструктажів керівника до нарад при керівникові та консультацій з органами самоврядування закладів, педагогічних (вчених) рад і «круглих столів», конференцій та обговорень на інтернет-форумах, загальних зборів і громадських слухань тощо.
Važnost pismenosti iz privatnosti u prevladavanju digitalnog jaza s naglaskom na
ulogu knjižnica = The Importance of Privacy Literacy in Bridging the Digital Divide with an Emphasis on the Role of Libraries
Authors: Katulić Anita , Barbarić Ana
Published: December 2021

Cilj rada je prikazati ulogu pismenosti iz privatnosti kao relativno novog koncepta u prevladavanju digitalnog jaza, povezati prevladavanje digitalnog jaza s ulogom knjižnica u postizanju više razine kritičke informacijske pismenosti, te smjestiti digitalnu uključenost i pismenost iz privatnosti u širi teorijski okvir. U tu svrhu u radu se istražuju ishodišni pojmovi društvene isključenosti i društvene uključenosti, digitalne podjele i digitalne uključenosti. Zatim, razmatra se uloga kritičke informacijske pismenosti u informacijskom društvu i tzv. “društvu platformi” te se naznačuje uloga knjižnica u opismenjavanju iz područja privatnosti s ciljem smanjenja digitalnog jaza i povećanja digitalne uključenosti. Digitalni jaz jedna je od najvećih prepreka društvu znanja, a isključenost iz informacijskog društva predstavlja problem svjetskih razmjera. U radu se objasnilo kako su knjižnice prikladna mjesta za borbu protiv društvene izoliranosti te imaju važnu ulogu u jačanju društvene kohezije. Također se prikazalo kako su ljudi s nižim razinama obrazovanja, kao i oni s nižim primanjima, više izloženi riziku digitalne isključenosti, a pomoć u izlazu iz takvog problema može se naći u opismenjavanju iz područja privatnosti. = The aim of this paper is to present the role of privacy literacy as a relatively new concept in bridging the digital divide, to link the bridging of the digital divide with the role of libraries in achieving a higher level of critical information literacy, and to place digital inclusion and privacy literacy in a broader theoretical framework. For this purpose, the paper researches the basic concepts of social exclusion and social inclusion, digital divide and digital inclusion. Furthermore, the role of critical information literacy in the information society and the so-called platform society is taken into consideration; and the role of libraries in privacy literacy is indicated, with the aim of reducing the digital divide and increasing digital inclusion. The digital divide is one of the biggest obstacles to the knowledge society, and exclusion from the information society is a global problem. The paper explains that libraries are suitable places to combat social isolation and that they play an important role in strengthening social cohesion. It has also been shown that people with lower levels of education, as well as those with lower incomes, are more at risk of digital exclusion, while help in getting out of such a problem can be found in privacy literacy.

La Teoría de la Objetivación (TO) es una teoría educativa que está recibiendo cada vez más atención de parte de la comunidad de educadores matemáticos. Conceptos como aprendizaje y saber adquieren un nuevo significado y, además, nuevos términos técnicos han sido introducidos en la TO. Hemos preparado este glosario de conceptos propios de la TO para facilitar el trabajo de las y los investigadores interesados en estudiar y usar esta teoría. Para realizar este glosario revisamos primero todos los artículos escritos por Luis Radford sobre la TO para determinar los conceptos relevantes en esta teoría y estudiamos su evolución. Seleccionamos las definiciones de cada uno de esos conceptos de las publicaciones más recientes en las que aparecen explícitamente expuestos, salvo algunas excepciones en las que encontramos definiciones más ricas en publicaciones de años anteriores. En algunos casos, incluimos definiciones de ciertos conceptos tomadas de más de un artículo. En la lista de referencias solo incluimos las referidas a los trabajos de Radford citados en este artículo. No incluimos, por razones de economía de espacio, las referencias a artículos de otros autores citados por Radford en los extractos textuales seleccionados.
Estimulación, evolución y refinamiento de la actividad perceptual de un grupo de estudiantes y la profesora
Authors: Pantano Mogollón Óscar Leonardo , Causado Rodolfo Vergel , Radford Luis
Published: December 2021

En este artículo presentamos algunas consideraciones teóricas apoyadas por evidencias empíricas en relación con la evolución de la actividad perceptual de un grupo de estudiantes de grado tercero de primaria (8-9 años) al abordar una tarea asociada al conteo de cantidades. El análisis del episodio de actividad, a través de la metodología multi-semiótica, sugiere primero, que la actividad perceptual poco a poco va estimulándose, evolucionando y refinándose, como consecuencia de la labor conjunta que emerge entre las integrantes del grupo y la profesora, a tal punto que emerge el encuentro con la regularidad espacial en la que están dispuestas las ovejas en el rebaño. Segundo, que la evolución de la actividad perceptual posibilita la emergencia y actualización de formas de pensamiento aditivo asociadas al conteo de cantidades cada vez más elaboradas que trascienden del conteo de las ovejas, una a una, a la agregación de cantidades con el mismo y distinto cardinal.
Characteristics of Varicose Vein Patients Underwent Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA) in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Sub-Division of Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang Between January 2019 - December 2019
Authors: Deo Valendra  , Kemas Muhammad Dahlan
Published: December 2021

Background: Chronic venous disease is often overlooked by health care providers because it has mild symptoms and low mortality. The most common manifestations of chronic venous disease are varicose veins. Risk factors for varicose veins are multifactorial. We aim to determine the characteristics of varicose vein patients who underwent endovenous laser ablation (EVLA).

Method: This research is a retrospective descriptive study and was conducted in January 2019 - December 2019 at the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Sub-division of the General Hospital dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. The samples were all of varicose vein patients who underwent EVLA and was collected with total sampling. The variables used include age, gender, level of severity/grading, and management. The data obtained were processed descriptively and were presented in tabular and narration.

Result: There were 24 subjects meeting research critera. The highest age group for varicose veins was in the age group 55 to 74 years as many as 11 people (45.8%). The most varicose vein patients were found in male as many as 14 people (58.3%). Based on the grading of severity, most were in grade C5, namely 14 people (58.3%). In varicose vein patients based on the type of intervention, the most cases occurred with EVLA and phlebotomy as many as 22 people (91.7%). Most subjects did not experience postoperative recanalization, namely 22 people (91.7%).

Conclusion: Male patients aged 55 to 74 years old, with severity grade of C5, treated with EVLA and phlebotomy, and without post-operative complication of recanalization are all the most common characteristics of varicose veins patients in dr Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.

A complexity hierarchy-based solution to the clausal subject puzzle in Turkish
Authors: Göksu Duygu , Öztürk Başaran Balkız
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a novel analysis of subordinate clause structure in Turkish, focusing on subordinations formed by the following three suffixes: the infinitival -mA(K) with tenseless and (ir)realis usages, and -DIK/ -(y)ACAK with a (non)future temporal specification. We present a classification aligning each form on the Implicational Complementation Hierarchy (ICH) proposed in Wurmbrand and Lohninger (2020), which provides a solution for the subject puzzle observed with these clauses: only infinitival -mA(K) clauses with their (ir)realis use are compatible with being the subject of a transitive verb. We propose that (ir)realis infinitival clauses belong to the situation class in the ICH, and that this middle class is of the ideal semantic complexity and syntactic size for a clausal subject in Turkish.

Published: December 2021

En este artículo se realiza un análisis de contenido mediante la revisión lexicográfica de palabras (clave) en la cultura migratoria, esto es palabras que adquieren un significado detonante a la hora de explicar el regreso a México de los connacionales envejecidos. Para cumplir este objetivo se hace un análisis lingüístico y semántico, lo cual representa una forma de acercamiento a los significados que atribuyen estas personas a la experiencia migratoria de retorno. El enfoque del estudio fue cualitativo – fenomenológico, con 13 hombres y 12 mujeres de Durango, México que hayan vivido o trabajado en Estados Unidos y que cuenten con experiencia de retorno en cualquiera de sus modalidades (definitivo, temporal, descanso, forzado), conformando una muestra no probabilística intencional. Las técnicas de recolección de información fueron la entrevista a profundidad, la observación participante y la etnografía. Dentro de los principales resultados se advierte la emergencia de palabras clave de espacio (allá, aquí), verbos comunicacionales (decir, saber, trabajar, etc.) y agentes significativos presentes en la representación de la migración (Dios, cónyuge, hijos, familia, etc.). Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que las palabras, como forma de lenguaje, expresan sentires, saberes y vivencias que moldean la experiencia de la migración de retorno de las personas mayores.
Expresiones de desigualdad educativa en Colombia: una reflexión desde los indicadores de contexto, acceso y resultado
Authors: Burgos Ayala Aracely , Rodríguez Buitrago Anderson Geovany
Published: December 2021

La desigualdad educativa es una de las reproducciones sociales más reiteradas en América Latina (AL). En Colombia, el segundo país más desigual de AL, la desigualdad educativa persiste a pesar de las recientes políticas educativas. Se analizaron las tendencias de desigualdad en educación obligatoria en Colombia respecto a los indicadores de contexto, acceso y resultados en: 1) Sistema Educativo incluído en el informe de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (año 2016); y, 2) Sistema de Información de Tendencias Educativas en América Latina (años 2010, 2015, 2016 y 2018). Para la OCDE, la pobreza y desigualdad se convierten en retos significativos, que inciden positiva o negativamente en los indicadores analizados y en la calidad educativa. Para el SITEAL, se encontró que cerca del 10 % de las personas aún no asisten al sistema educativo, y de los que logran acceder, el egreso en la básica secundaria no supera al 80 %; el acceso tiende a incrementar en el tiempo, aunque es mayor cuando los ingresos económicos son más altos. Se evidencia que las mujeres asisten y egresan más al sistema educativo que los hombres, esto demuestra que la desigualdad educativa se relaciona íntimamente con aspectos sociales y demográficos. La pobreza sigue siendo causa de exclusión educativa. Se insta a investigar más detalladamente estos indicadores en contextos más focalizados para descrubrir explicaciones más detalladas y posibles oportunidades emergentes localizadas frente esta desigualdad.

Background: Epidemiological data have shown that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in Korea. Genetic factors influencing vitamin D deficiency in humans have been studied in Europe but are less known in East Asian countries, including Korea. We aimed to investigate the genetic factors related to vitamin D levels in Korean people using a genome-wide association study (GWAS).Methods: We included 12,642 subjects from three different genetic cohorts consisting of Korean participants. The GWAS was performed on 7,590 individuals using linear or logistic regression meta- and mega-analyses. After identifying significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we calculated heritability and performed replication and rare variant analyses. In addition, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis for significant SNPs was performed.Results: rs12803256, in the actin epsilon 1, pseudogene (ACTE1P) gene, was identified as a novel polymorphism associated with vitamin D deficiency. SNPs, such as rs11723621 and rs7041, in the group-specific component gene (GC) and rs11023332 in the phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) gene were significantly associated with vitamin D deficiency in both meta- and mega-analyses. The SNP heritability of the vitamin D concentration was estimated to be 7.23%. eQTL analysis for rs12803256 for the genes related to vitamin D metabolism, including glutamine-dependent NAD(+) synthetase (NADSYN1) and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7), showed significantly different expression according to alleles.Conclusion: The genetic factors underlying vitamin D deficiency in Korea included polymorphisms in the GC, PDE3B, NADSYN1, and ACTE1P genes. The biological mechanism of a non-coding SNP (rs12803256) for DHCR7/NADSYN1 on vitamin D concentrations is unclear, warranting further investigations.
Tree of Life
Authors: Jacobs Louis
Published: December 2021

This study of the Jewish legal system (the halakhah) demonstrates that the law embraces every corner of life. The central thesis of this book is that the halakhah, far from being entirely self-sufficient and self-authenticating, is influenced by the attitudes, conscious or unconscious, of its practitioners towards the wider demands and ideals of Judaism and by the social, economic, theological, and political conditions that occur when the ostensibly purely legal norms and methodology are developed. The chief concern is with the post-Talmudic halakhah, though the earlier halakhic developments are also discussed. The book also investigates how the halakhah operates. Ultimately, it seeks to provide a theory of halakhic change for those who are loyal to the halakhic tradition and yet accept modern values, many of which are themselves ultimately the fruit of the Torah, the Tree of Life.

Augustine: De Civitate Dei The City of God Books VI and VII
Authors: Walsh P. G.
Published: December 2021

This edition of St. Augustine's The City of God (De Civitate Dei) is the only one in English to provide a text and translation as well as a detailed commentary of this most influential document in the history of western Christianity. In these books, written in the aftermath of the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Goths, Augustine replies to the pagans, who attributed the fall of Rome to the Christian religion and its prohibition of the worship of the pagan gods. Books VI and VII focus on the figure of Terentius Varro, a man revered by Augustine's pagan contemporaries. By exploiting Varro's learned researches on Roman religion, Augustine condemns Roman religious practices and beliefs in order to refute pagan claims that the Roman deities had guaranteed a blessed life in the hereafter for their devotees. These books are therefore not only an invaluable source for the study of early Christianity but also for any student of Classical Rome, who is provided here with a detailed account of one of the most learned figures of Roman antiquity, whose own works have not survived in the same state. The volume presents Latin text with facing-page English translation, introduction and commentary.
Studying Hot Fuzz
Authors: Archer Neil
Published: December 2021

By the power of Greyskull! In their second big-screen collaboration after Shaun of the Dead (2004), with Hot Fuzz (2007) director and co-writer Edgar Wright and co-writer and star Simon Pegg took aim at the conventions of the Hollywood action movie, transplanting gratuitous slo-mo action sequences into the English village supermarket and local pub. This book, the first critical study of arguably the most influential British film-makers to emerge this century, considers to what extent a modestly funded film such as this can be considered ‘British’ at all, given its international success and distribution by an American studio, and how far that success depends upon what the book calls its ‘cultural specificity’. It considers the film as a parody of the action-movie genre, and discusses exactly how parody works — not just in relation to the conventions of the action film but also in the depiction of English space. Exactly what and who is Hot Fuzz poking fun at?
Suspiria
Authors: Heller-Nicholas Alexandra
Published: December 2021

As one of the most globally recognisable instances of 20th-century Eurohorror, Dario Argento's Suspiria (1976) is poetic, chaotic, and intriguing. The cult reputation of Argento's baroque nightmare is reflected in the critical praise it continues to receive almost 40 years after its original release, and it appears regularly on lists of the greatest horror films ever. For fans and critics alike, Suspiria is as mesmerising as it is impenetrable: the impact of Argento's notorious disinterest in matters of plot and characterisation combines with Suspiria's aggressive stylistic hyperactivity to render it a movie that needs to be experienced through the body as much as through emotion or the intellect. For its many fans, Suspiria is synonymous with European horror more broadly, and Argento himself is by far the most famous of all the Italian horror directors. If there was any doubt of his status as one of the great horror auteurs, Argento's international reputation was solidified well beyond the realms of cult fandom in the 1990s with retrospectives at both the American Museum of the Moving Image and the British Film Institute. This book considers the complex ways that Argento weaves together light, sound and cinema history to construct one of the most breathtaking horror movies of all time, a film as fascinating as it is ultimately unfathomable.
Socialism and the Diasporic 'Other'
Authors: Renshaw Daniel
Published: December 2021

Socialism and the Diasporic ‘Other’ simultaneously examines how left-wing politics functioned within the diasporic communities and how Irish and Jewish populations were viewed by the wider socialist and trade union movements. It discusses the similarities and differences in how politics and communal dynamics were apparent in the Irish and Jewish East Ends, and the relationships formed between Irish and Jewish women, men and children in numerous contexts. It also compares the structures and agendas of the Jewish and Catholic metropolitan hierarchies, and how communal leaderships attempted to maintain control over working class migrant communities. The book emphasises the lack of consistency in progressive attitudes towards ethnic and religious minorities in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, and the use of ethnic difference as a way of demarcating political space in an often chaotic and fractured London left. It argues that there were two key major differences in the ways in which communal politics functioned in Jewish and Irish Catholic East London, the first based around the nature of hierarchical authority, and the second on how class relations manifested themselves in the communities. It roots the divergent paths that Jewish and Irish communal East End politics took before the First World War in these differences.
Figurations of the Feminine in the Early French Women's Press, 1758-1848
Authors: McIlvanney Siobhán
Published: December 2021

This book examines the origins of the early French women’s press and traces the evolving representations of womanhood that appear over the first ninety years of women’s journals in France. It argues that this critically neglected medium offers a key source of information on French women’s personal and political aspirations by giving us a privileged insight into their everyday lives. The early women’s press represented an important means of allowing women to access and contribute to the key cultural, intellectual and political debates which dominated French society at the time and which directly influenced their position within it. This book highlights the political, feminist potential of this medium written by women for women. Through textual analyses of different ‘generic’ subsections, whether the literary journal, the fashion journal, the domestic press or more explicitly politicised outputs, this book challenges the critical commonplaces that have been applied to the women’s press, both in France and elsewhere. As the first comprehensive study in English of these origins, this book demonstrates the political richness of this medium and the key perspectives it gives us on female self-expression and on the everyday lives of women from across the class spectrum during this key historical period.
