Glomerular filtration rate, readiness to apoptosis and late apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes in different variants of bronchial asthma
Authors: Mineev V. , Vasilyeva T. , Nesterovich I.
Published: January 2019

The aim of the study is to establish the possible influence of apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocytes (readiness to apoptosis and late stage of apoptosis) on glomerular filtration rate in different variants of bronchial asthma (BA). Materials and methods. 215 patients with different variants of BA were examined. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by CKD-EPI was estimated. Activity the spontaneous expression of the receptor CD95/Fas/APO-1 on lymphocytes were evaluated using monoclonal antibodies of the company Immunotech (Coulter Corp., USA). To determine the late stage of lymphocytes apoptosis we used a set of firm Becton Dickinson (Germany) comprising monoclonal antibodies to active caspase-3 conjugated to phycoerythrin. Results. Glomerular filtration rate is significantly reduced in non-allergic BA (NABA) group and in the group of patients with asthma receiving systemic (oral) therapy with glucocorticosteroids (GCBA) in comparison with the group of patients with allergic BA (ABA). The expression of CD95/Fas/APO-1 receptor and caspase 3 in peripheral blood lymphocytes was significantly increased in NABA and GCBA as compared with the group of ABA patients. Factor analysis revealed that in ABA glomerular filtration rate was not related with spontaneous lymphocytes apoptosis (both at the stage of readiness of cells to him, and at the late stage of apoptosis). In contrast, in NABA and GCBA the degree of the factor loadings of apoptosis in factor model, predominantly the degree of late stage (caspase 3) was very significant in relation to glomerular filtration rate. Conclusion. Lymphocytes apoptosis (cells readiness to apoptosis - CD95/Fas/APO-1 receptor and especially its late - stage caspase 3) is likely participate in the decrease of glomerular filtration rate in NABA and GCBA and it is considered as an additional risk factor for CKD in this variant of the disease.

Published: January 2019

Objective. To define the most effective assemblies of external transpedicular fixator for correction of kyphotic and scoliotic deformities of the spine. Material and Methods. Treatment results in 108 adolescents with different kinds of III–IV degree scoliosis and kyphosis were studied. The spine deformation degree was assessed in accordance with V.D. Chaklin’ classification. Neurological examination have shown the absence of major neurological disorders. Deformation correction was performed with device consisting of transpedicular rods which were fixed to anchorage plates and coupled into support bases. Results. The application of the fixator with additional lateral traction is optimal to correct C-shaped scoliosis and the frame with damping device allows correcting the curvatures of S-shaped deformities within a short time, in some cases even hypercorrection can be achieved. The application of additional fixing rod is fruitful in kyphosis correction. Conclusion. The application of the external transpedicular fixator under radiological and clinical control allows the correction of various spine deformities without neurological deficit with the account of spine biomechanics.

Published: January 2019

Objective. To estimate results of surgical treatment of mobile forms of high-grade scoliosis by CDI with preliminary halo-pelvic-traction and without it. Material and Methods. The outcomes of surgery for III–IV Grade scoliosis in 70 patients were analyzed. One stage dorsal deformity correction with CDI combined with posterior spinal fusion was performed in 38 patients. In 32 patients the instrumented correction was preceded by halo-pelvic-traction without anterior release. Mobility of the spine was estimated with Kazmin’s stability index, mobility index, correction at traction, and index of postoperative correction. Results. In Group 1 the Kazmin’s index of stability was 0.82, and in Group 2 – 0.85. The mobility index was 55.96 in Group 1, and 62.90 in Group 2. Correction at traction was 44.04 in Group 1, and 37.10 % in Group 2. In Group 1 the achieved correction was 56.4 % and in Group 2 – 55.4 %. In Group 1 a deformity correction with CDI exceeded initial spine mobility by 20 % and in Group 2 – by 40 %. In both groups a disc height increased by 40 % on a concave side and decreased by 20 % on a convex side. Lordoscoliosis predominated in both groups (17 patients in Group 1, 15 – in Group 2). Kyphoscoliosis was in 9 patients in Group 1, and in 8 – in Group 2. Postoperative sagittal profile became normal in a majority of patients in both groups. There was no considerable derotation in patients of Group 1. In Group 2 a rotation of the whole spine in one direction was recorded after halo-pelvic-traction. Conclusion. The CDI allows achieving significant curve correction in patients with mobile forms of scoliosis (more than 50 %). Preliminary halo-pelvic-traction without anterior release could be effective in patients with severe and rather mobile forms of scoliosis.

Authors: Ptashnikov Dmitry Aleksandrovich , Usikov Vladimir Dmitryevich
Published: January 2019

Objective. To validate the approach to treatment of patients with primary tumors of the spine. Material and Methods. The experience of surgical treatment of 47 patients with benign tumors of the spine was analyzed. The treatment approach was defined with the account of tumor type and localization, and of patient’s somatic status. The diseased area was examined with the help of X-ray, CT scanning, and MRI, and a punch biopsy in some patients. Results. The tumor recurrence was registered in 6 (14.6 %) patients. This shows that in some cases the exact margins of the tumor were not defined despite the comprehensive diagnostic possibilities. Functional results of the treatment implied the restoration of the spine support ability and the pain regress in all observations. Bone plasty was the method of choice for interbody defect replacement. Conclusion. The radical surgery (corpectomy and spondylectomy) considerably reduces the risk of tumor recurrence. Lumbosacral location of the tumor with paravertebral extension presents serious technical problems in its total removal. Autogenic cortical cancellous bone proved to be a good plastic material for defect replacement after vertebra resection and fusion.

Introduction: Enteric-fever is a major public-health problem in developing countries emerging as multidrug-resistant, Nalidixic-acid resistant and extremely drug-resistant Salmonella (Pakistan, 2016), has intensified the use of WHO watch/reserve group antimicrobials such as azithromycin and meropenem. Methods: This ambispective-study was conducted on 782 non-repeat blood-culture isolates of S. Typhi, S. Paratyphi A and S. Paratyphi B obtained from 29,184 blood cultures received at a 1000-bedded tertiary-care hospital of North-India from 2011–2017. Identification and antibiograms were obtained by Vitek-2 compact and Kirby-Bauer’s disc diffusion with resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and cotrimoxazole being labeled as multidrug-resistant. Decreased ciprofloxacin-susceptibility and ciprofloxacin-resistance were defined as MIC 0.125–0.5 and >1 μg/ml. Results: S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A in a ratio of 3.9:1 were seen between July–September predominantly distributed between 6–45 year age group. Resistance to co-trimoxazole, chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone and azithromycin was 6.1%, 13.8%, 16.1 and 5.78% respectively. Multidrug-resistant S. typhi and S. paratyphi A were 2.73% and 1.91% respectively. Conclusion: Enteric-fever is a major public-health problem in India. Emergence of multidrug-resistant, Nalidixic-acid resistant and extremely-drug resistant Salmonella mandates ongoing surveillance for targeted empirical therapy and containment of spread. Repeated epidemics call for water, sanitation, hygiene and vaccination strategies to sustain herd-immunity.

Published: January 2019

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) frequently occur among dentists and dental students. The first aim of this study was to gather and analyze information about the prevalence of symptoms of MSDs. The second aim was to determine a correlation between subjectively described complaints and the results of an objective examination of the spine using the Spinal Mouse® device; that part is described in the second section of this article. Dental students of the first, third and fifth years at Charles University, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové were included. The participants filled out a questionnaire regarding the prevalence of symptoms of MSDs and the potential risk factors. From a total of 182 students that participated in this study, 71 reported musculoskeletal pain (prevalence 39%). The musculoskeletal pain was more frequent among women. During the studies its prevalence increased. The most frequent areas of pain were neck, lower back and upper back. The results indicate that musculoskeletal pain often begins and continues to develop throughout the dentistry studies.

Published: January 2019

Background: Topiramate (TPM) decreases cytokine release and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cytokine and endothelin-1 (ET-1) secretion and ROS formation play an important role in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. We aimed to evaluate whether TPM prevents damage occurring in lung tissue during I/R. Materials and Methods: A total of 27 Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups of nine. To the I/R group, two hours of ischemia via infrarenal abdominal aorta cross-ligation and then two hours of reperfusion process were applied. TPM (100 mg/kg/day) orally for seven days was administered in the TPM treatment group. After the last dose of TPM treatment, respectively, two hours of ischemia and two hours of reperfusion were applied in this group. Results: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (p < 0.05), malondialdehyde (MDA) (p < 0.05), myeloperoxidase (MPO) (p < 0.05) and ET-1 (p < 0.05) levels of TPM treatment group’s lung tissue were significantly lower than for the I/R group. Caspase-3 and histopathological damage were rather lower than that of the I/R group. Conclusions: During I/R, lung damage occurs due to excessive TNF-α and ET-1 release and ROS generation. TPM could well reduce development of lung damage by decreasing cytokine and ET-1 release and levels of ROS produced.
Pharyngeal Papilloma: a Rare Non-Pulmonary Cause of Hemoptysis
Authors: Katsenos Stamatis , Nikolopoulou Melita
Published: January 2019

The most common benign neoplasm of the pharynx is papilloma. It is characterized by bulging brittle lesions, which are pedicled or sessile, whitish-grey or pinkish colour. Progressive hoarseness is the main clinical feature. When the papillomata spread throughout the tracheobronchial tree symptoms such as chronic cough, stridor, dyspnea or acute respiratory distress are mostly present. Hemoptysis as a presenting symptom is exceptionally rare in patients with pharyngeal papillomatosis. Herein, we report a case of pharyngeal papillomatosis in which hemoptysis was the primary clinical manifestation. The clinical and therapeutic aspects of the disease are briefly discussed.

Transgenerational Transmission of Enhanced Ocular Dominance Plasticity from Enriched Mice to Their Non-enriched Offspring
Authors: Kalogeraki Evgenia , Yusifov Rashad , Löwel Siegrid
Published: January 2019

In recent years, evidence has accumulated that non-Mendelian transgenerational inheritance of qualities acquired through experience is possible. In particular, it has been shown that raising rodents in a so-called enriched environment (EE) can not only modify the animals’ behavior and increase their susceptibility to activity-dependent neuronal network changes, but also influences both behavior and neuronal plasticity of the non-enriched offspring. Here, we tested whether such a transgenerational transmission can also be observed in the primary visual cortex (V1) using ocular dominance (OD) plasticity after monocular deprivation (MD) as a paradigm. Whereas OD plasticity after 7 d of MD is absent in standard-cage (SC) raised mice beyond postnatal day (P)110, it is present lifelong in EE-raised mice. Using intrinsic signal optical imaging to visualize cortical activity, we confirm these previous observations and additionally show that OD plasticity is not only preserved in adult EE mice but also in their adult non-enriched offspring: mice born to enriched parents, but raised in SCs at least until P110 displayed similar OD shifts toward the open eye after 7 d of MD as age-matched EE-raised animals. Furthermore, testing the offspring of EE-female versus EE-males with SC-mating partners revealed that only pups of EE-females, but not of EE-males, preserved OD plasticity into adulthood, suggesting that the life experiences of the mother have a greater impact on the continued V1 plasticity of the offspring. The OD plasticity of the non-enriched pups of EE-mothers was, however, mechanistically different from that of non-enriched pups of EE-parents or EE mice.
Review of European Databases of Inland Waters Used in the MARS Spatial Database Development for the Purpose of Multiple Pressure Analysis
Authors: Globevnik Lidija , Koprivšek Maja , Snoj Luka
Published: January 2019

With respect to the various European polices for water and environment protection, EU member states report to the European Commission through national monitoring programmes a wide variety of data on the pressures that aquatic ecosystems are facing. They further report data on the quality and quantity of water (“State of Environment”) at monitoring sites, and on the ecological and chemical status of surface waters under the Water Framework Directive. Many other databases on European waters (hydrographical databases as well as databases on state of water) were developed as a result of different European projects. There are also several sources about climatic data, data on river discharges, and data on pressures the water system is facing. All these databases are a welcome source of information, needed to analyse the pressures on and state of European inland waters, but they must be interlinked, harmonised, and entered into a common spatial database first. This was done within the MARS project, where we have interlinked and unified relevant available databases into a new spatial database. Data are now available in a new form to be used in analysis of state of inland aquatic ecosystems as a response to multiple pressures.
Targeting autophagy in thyroid cancers
Authors: Wei Weijun , Hardin Heather , Luo Quan-Yong
Published: January 2019

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common endocrine malignancies. Although the prognosis for the majority of thyroid cancers is relatively good, patients with metastatic, radioiodine-refractory or anaplastic thyroid cancers have an unfavorable outcome. With the gradual understanding of the oncogenic events in thyroid cancers, molecularly targeted therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is greatly changing the therapeutic landscape of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancers (RR-DTCs), but intrinsic and acquired drug resistance, as well as adverse effects, may limit their clinical efficacy and use. In this setting, development of synergistic treatment options is of clinical significance, which may enhance the therapeutic effect of current TKIs and further overcome the resultant drug resistance. Autophagy is a critical cellular process involved not only in protecting cells and organisms from stressors but also in the maintenance and development of various kinds of cancers. Substantial studies have explored the complex role of autophagy in thyroid cancers. Specifically, autophagy plays important roles in mediating the drug resistance of small-molecular therapeutics, in regulating the dedifferentiation process of thyroid cancers and also in affecting the treatment outcome of radioiodine therapy. Exploring how autophagy intertwines in the development and dedifferentiation process of thyroid cancers is essential, which will enable a more profound understanding of the physiopathology of thyroid cancers. More importantly, these advances may fuel future development of autophagy-targeted therapeutic strategies for patients with thyroid cancers. Herein, we summarize the most recent evidence uncovering the role of autophagy in thyroid cancers and highlight future research perspectives in this regard.

Published: January 2019

The development of archaeology in Soviet Lithuania has not yet received a more extensive study. Vilnius University (VU) was the only higher education institution that prepared archaeology specialists and it ceased to do so after the closing of the Archaeology and Ethnography Department in 1966. In 1973 Lithuanian SSR Department of History established an Archaeology-Museology speciality. Even with limited possibilities, 120 archaeologists-museologists graduated until the reopening of the Archaeology Department in 1990. During the archaeological fieldwork practise for students intended in the curriculum, the Lithuanian SSR Department of History used to organise scientific expeditions. Some were independent investigations; others were conducted with the Lithuanian SSR Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences. The focus was mainly on the Užnemunė hillforts and since 1972 on large feudal centres in Eastern Lithuania. Maišiagala and Narkūnai hillforts were excavated. In 1979 Kernavė archaeological site became the main VU archaeological research base. After ten years of VU excavation seasons, State Archaeology and History Reserve was founded in 1989, and in 2004 the Kernavė archaeological site was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Objects. Archaeology students that went on Kernavė expeditions were introduced to fieldwork methods and performed naturalscience and chemical-physical tests on archaeological material. Foreign students also participated in the Kernavė expeditions. From 1966 to 1990 few of the VU archaeologists (1 to 4 people were working) successfully defended one habilitation and one doctoral dissertation, published several important monographs and scientific articles, and actively participated in scientific conferences. It was only after the reestablishment of Independence in 1990 that it was possible to reopen the Archaeology Department in Vilnius University.

Artefacts which are miniatures of regular size objects met a thorough interest in the archaeological literature. Unsurprisingly, several attempts to interpret phenomenon of the miniature axes have already been made (see. eg. Kucypera, Pranke, Wadyl, 2010 a; Kucypera, Pranke, Wadyl, 2010 b; Wołoszyn, 2006; Panasiewicz, Wołoszyn, 2002; Zemītis, 1998; Koktvedgaard Zeitzen, 1997; Golubeva, 1997; Makarov, 1992; Darkevič, 1961; Paulsen, 1956; Paulsen, 1939). It should be noticed that miniatures are defined as objects reduced in size to an extent preventing their practical application, which distinguishes them from tools smaller than typical, but which still may perform functions similar to those of a normal-sized examples. Despite this, defining a miniature object creates many difficulties. M. Koktvedgaard Zeitzen recently wrote that: “Instead, one should take into account how the axe looks – whether, for example, it is ornamented or has a suspension hole – which, although a more subjective criterion, seem to give one a better basis for identifying an amuletic axe than solely measuring its length in centimeters. Another way to identify amuletic axes is to look at their material <…>” (Koktvedgaard Zeitzen, 1997, p. 16). We fully share this view. [...]
Priešistorinė gyvensena Gotlande – diachroninė ir sinchroninė perspektyva

Published: January 2019

The prehistoric period of Gotland Island covers around 8000 years of human occupation. In this paper we will concentrate on the period from the initial colonization to the end of the Bronze Age, a period of c. 7000 years. The prehistory of the people, who populated the Island of Gotland during this time, is diversified and reflects a variety of activities and lifestyles, which are influenced and interact with different regions around the Baltic Sea. The cultural traits seen in the material culture point to various contacts spheres over time. So far we do not have any conclusive evidences if the initial Mesolithic groups, whom were the pioneers to Gotland, settled here on a permanent basis and could be considered as the original ancestors of the Gotlandic people. This is something that was suggested by Österholm (1989). It seems more likely that various groups of settlers have arrived in Gotland at different times and/or that it has been a constant flow of goods and genes both from the Scandinavian and Baltic areas during the investigated time span. Throughout these 7000 years this region has also experienced dramatic environmental changes, which have affected the living conditions and patterns of subsistence for the groups of people living here. In this paper we will discuss different prehistoric lifestyles and the question of origin of the people living on Gotland. This is done in the light of our new research where we are compiling and re-analyzing old data as well as working with some specific case studies carrying out new excavations. [...]

For many years this group of finds was ignored or hardly recognised during the excavations. The lack of information published and an obscure number of raw material artefacts in the museum collections of Lithuania has led to collect all the probable raw material artefacts altogether and to obtain as much information as these finds could actually provide. All types of artefacts were analyzed, meaning raw material knapping assemblage and the definite implements.After a careful research of the collections of finds in the museums and newest data of recent excavations, more than 1 500 artefacts were chosen up, added to the database, and were examined on different aspects. The types of raw material used were determined with a help of geologists from Vilnius University.

Šyšos švedkapių radiniai – įvadas į lokalinės istorijos tyrimus
Authors: Banytė-Rowell Rasa , Barasa Darius
Published: January 2019

Šyšos kaimas (vokiškai Schieß, Sziesze) yra Šilutės rajone, įsikūręs abipus Šyšos upės, ten, kur ji įteka į Atmatą. Šyša yra 5 km į PV nuo Šilutės ir 3 km į Š nuo Rusnės. Tai senas Rytų Prūsijos kaimas, kuriame 1540 m. minima buvus 16 sodybų ir 2 samdiniai. Šyša priklausė Rusnės parapijai (Safronovas, 2009). Reikia nepamiršti, kad tik šiais laikais mums upės be tiltų yra kliūtis. Tai liudija ir šiuolaikinis Šyšos kaimo administracinis suskirstymas: kairioji pusė priklauso Šilutės seniūnijai, o dešinioji – Kintų. Ilgus šimtmečius Šyšos upė, skirianti du kaimo krantus, atliko jungiamąją, gatvės ir kelio, funkciją. Šyšos kaimo istorija, matyt, ne mažiau sena nei Rusnės....ŠYŠA AND RUSNĖ FINDS – AN INTRODUCTION TO LOCAL HISTORY RESEARCHRasa Banytė-Rowell, Darius BarasaSummaryThis article publishes for the first time from a cemetery known as Švedkapiai (Swedish Graves) or Maro kapeliai (Plague graves) from the village of Šyša (Šilutė District, former Heydekrug) in the Nemunas Delta (Fig. 1, 2). The cemetery site is a small elongated hill which once (1972–1984) was protected as an archaeological site of local significance. In 1929 the Šilutė medical student H. Bratkus sent a letter to the Prussia Museum in Konigsberg with a sketch of finds from the cemetery, namely a six-leafed brooch dating to the 15–16 cent. and a composite metal belt (Fig. 3)....
Avalynė Vilniaus Bernardinų bažnyčios freskose
Authors: Puškorius Arūnas
Published: January 2019

Kiekvienas naujas Lietuvoje surastas rašytinis ar ikonografinis šaltinis netrukus būna pastebėtas įvairių sričių tyrėjų. Jis patenka į mokslinę apyvartą, tampa publikacijų ir įvairių didesnės apimties darbų tyrimų objektu. Nauji surasti ir restauruoti vaizduojamojo meno objektai – sienų tapyba monumentaliuose kultūros paminkluose – yra neįkainojamos vertės mokslinio pažinimo šaltinis. Jis tiesiogiai liudija apie čia dirbusius amatininkus, konkretaus laikotarpio žmonių mentalitetą, estetinį ir pasaulio suvokimą. Šie objektai tiriami ir daug žemiškesniais aspektais: analizuojamos piešimo technologijos ir technikos, pigmentai, pagal poreikį atliekami kiti medžiagotyriniai darbai. Taigi sienų freskos yra puikus senųjų laikų įvairiapusio pažinimo objektas....SHOES IN THE WALL PAINTING AT THE VILNIUS BERNARDINE CHURCHArūnas PuškoriusSummaryThe interior wall-painting on the northern wall at the Vilnius St. Franciscus and St. Bernardine Church (Bernardine Church) is very valuable and is the only example of a well preserved subject-painting of the Gothic period in Lithuania. The interior of the Bernardine Church is considered to have been painted after the reconstruction early in the 16th century (not later than 1521). Its common stylistics is highly influenced by the German graphics. Without any doubt, a lot of figures have been transferred from the illustrated book “Prayers and Morals” composed by Stephan Fridolino, an Observant German Franciscan priest. The book was published in 1491 by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg. Nevertheless, the decoration program on the wall of the Bernardine Church is specific. The purpose of this study was to discuss and identify the shoes that are painted in this wall-painting in the context of the different social strata of first half of the 16th century, and to compare these painted shoes with the Vilnius archaeological finds and other analogues in Europe....

Apykojai Latvijos archeologinėje medžiagoje
Authors: Ciglis Jānis
Published: January 2019

Tarp Latvijos ankstyvojo geležies amžiaus archeologinių radinių aptinkama viena neįprasta papuošalų kategorija – apykojai. Apykojų randama kai kuriuose Baltijos finougrų tarand tipo kapuose, bet tai dažniausiai tik fragmentai. Sveiki išlikę apykojai buvo rasti tarand I kape Kaugars and Mūsina kapinynuose Raunoje ir Saulieši kapinyne Jaunburtniekuose. O fragmentų – Auciema Dumpji, Viksnas kapusils Raunoje, Sulieši laidojimo paminkle Jaunburtnie­kuose ir tarand II kape Kaugars kapinyne Raunoje. Datavi­mą B2 periodu patvirtina radiniai pilkapiuose Šiaurės Rytų Latvijos laidojimo paminkluose, kurie jau nebeegzistuoja B2 periode. Pavyzdžiui, alavinių kulkšnies apykojų ir ran­kogalinių apyrankių buvo aptikta trijuose pilkapiuose, bet nė viena nebuvo aptikta tarand tipo akmenų kape Sale­nieki laidojimo paminkle, kur seniausieji radiniai gali būti datuotini B2 periodu. Pilkapiai yra senesni (ankstyvesni) ir gali būti datuojami B2 periodu todėl, kad vienu atveju kapo akmeninė konstrukcija yra virš pilkapio. Panašų datavimą patvirtina ir tai, kad kulkšnies apykojai akmenų konstrukci­jos kapuose dekoruoti labai panašiais motyvais kaip ir apy­kojai Viļaka ir Aizezeri Sakstagaloje. Iš aglų k. vertė Violeta Vasiliauskienė...Leg rings in archaeological material from LatviaJānis Ciglis...

Interpretacijos: Vilniaus universiteto bibliotekos rankraščių atvejis
Authors: Girininkaitė Veronika
Published: January 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]

Straipsnyje aptariamas žodžių junginys silva rerum, kuris kaip terminas skverbiasi į Lietuvos humanitarinius mokslus. Juo kartais apibūdinama specifinė egodokumentikos rūšis – namų knygos. Tyrimas aktualus, nes pasitaiko, kad minėtasis silva rerum tyrėjų taikomas neapibrėžtai, tiks­liai nenusakant paties objekto. Straipsnyje apžvelgiama šių žodžių sam­plaikos kilmė, pateikiama įvairių interpretacijų, įvertinta jos tikimybė tapti moksliniu terminu. Tekste taip pat aptariamos Vilniaus universi­teto bibliotekos Rankraščių skyriaus rankraštinės knygos, keleto istorikų pavadintos silvae rerum; vertinamas jų priklausymas egodokumentikai. Konstatuota, kad šis sudėtinis terminas iš esmės vartojamas neadekva­čiai, o ir pati sąvoka netiksli. Išnagrinėti silva rerum kategorijai nepri­skiriami pavyzdžiai (studentų konspektai), netipiniai, ribiniai artefaktai (rankraščio ir spaudinio konvoliutas, post factum įrištas asmens kores­pondencijos pluoštas) ir kita verčia kritiškai vertinti šio žanro raštijos apibūdinimą silva rerum terminu. Kaip ir kitais atvejais, dera moksliškai argumentuotai vartoti terminus (bei jų sistemas), kuriais būtų pavadinti lietuviški egodokumentikos tipai.
Mykolo Kazimiero Radvilos, vadinamo Žuvele (1702–1762), dienoraštis: tarp itinerarijaus ir egodokumento
Authors: Veličkaitė Vika
Published: January 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]

Straipsnyje apžvelgiama Mykolo Kazimiero Radvilos, vadinamo Žuve­le, dienoraščio specifika egodokumentinių tyrimų kontekste. Beveik visą gyvenimą sąmoningai didiko rašytas dienoraštis atskleidžia ne tik kultū­rinės Baroko epochos specifiką, bet ir individualius asmenybės bruožus. Pirmame skyriuje pristatoma dienoraščio specifika – šaltinyje gausu iti­nerarinio pobūdžio tyrinėjimams naudingos informacijos, tačiau dėl jo apimamo laikotarpio ir apimties įrašuose pasitaiko informacijos, kuri at­skleidžia didiko charakterio bruožus, santykius šeimoje, sveikatos būklę. Antrame skyriuje pristatomi M. K. Radvilos asmenybės bruožai, kuriuos galime įžvelgti dienoraščio įrašuose, santykiai su šeimos nariais. Saviiro­niškas ir nerimastingas M. K. Radvila palaikė šiltus santykius su pirmąja žmona Pranciška Uršule Višniovecka Radviliene, dukra Teofilija. San­tykiai su valdinga motina Ona Sanguška Radviliene buvo daug labiau įtempti. Taip pat ryškėja Baroko epochos įtaka asmenybės pasaulėžiūrai ir požiūriui į mirtį.
Istoriografiniai amžininkų tekstai apie Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimą kaip lokalinės galvosenos raiškos vieta (Panevėžio apskrities atvejis)
Authors: Petreikis Tomas
Published: January 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]

Straipsnyje, remiantis Lietuvos centriniame valstybės archyve išliku­siais dokumentais, analizuojama lokalinės galvosenos raiška Panevėžio apskrities valsčių savivaldybių istorijose. Vidaus reikalų ministerijos Savivaldybių departamento pavedimu 1927 m. viršaičių ir / ar sekreto­rių papasakotos istorijos buvo paremtos amžininkų atsiminimais. Gilus memuarinis klodas valsčių istorijose, atsižvelgiant į savivaldybių veiklos atkūrimo istoriškumą, prielaidas, Nepriklausomybės priešus ir sąjungi­ninkus, vertinant savo jėgas ir suvokiant galimybes bei atliktus veiksmus, pateikė skirtingų įvykių interpretacijų. Valsčių istorijose atsispindintys lokalinės galvosenos ypatumai plečia supratimą apie tam tikrose vietose / srityse susiformavusį Lietuvos Nepriklausomybės atkūrimo vertinimą, pagal kurį siekta įsigilinti į konkrečios vietovės situaciją, kategoriškai ne­atmetant valsčiaus žmonių išgyventos patirties.
Kraštotyra ir muziejininkystė Pelikso Bugailiškio egodokumentikoje
Authors: Šiukščienė Virginija
Published: January 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]

Peliksas Bugailiškis (1883–1965) – teisininkas, visuomenininkas, regioni­nio, visuomeninio kraštotyros judėjimo ir kraštotyros muziejų koncepci­jos ideologas, Šiaulių ,,Aušros“ muziejaus (1923 m.) ir Šiaulių kraštotyros draugijos (1927 m.) įsteigimo iniciatorius, ilgametis jų globėjas. Apie jo muziejinę ir su kraštotyra susijusią veiklą daug rašyta, išleisti atsiminimai ,,Gyvenimo vieškeliais“, kur daug dėmesio skiriama šioms veiklos sritims. Šio straipsnio tikslas – remiantis P. Bugailiškio egodokumentika – atsimi­nimais ir asmenine korespondencija – pristatyti jį ne tik kaip muziejinin­ką praktiką, bet ir kaip muziejininkystės teorijos kūrėją.
Jono Vitarto (Jan Michał Witort) 1888 metų straipsnis apie Panevėžio kraštą: korespondencinio pranešimo turinys ir egodokumentinė vertė
Authors: Bogdzevič Monika , Vyšniauskas Arūnas
Published: January 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba]

Šioje publikacijoje skelbiamas J. W. inicialais pasirašyto Jono Vitarto (Jan Witort) straipsnio vertimas į lietuvių kalbą. Straipsnio originalas pa­vadinimu „Stosunki na Żmudzi“ lenkų kalba buvo paskelbtas Sankt Peter­burge leistame lenkų laikraštyje „Kraj“ (1888 m. Nr. 31). Pažymėtina, kad senasis tekstas gali būti įdomus šiuolaikiniam skaitytojui kaip vertingas pirminis šaltinis, visų pirma, vietos istorijos, Panevėžio ir jo krašto praei­ties pažinimo požiūriu. Nagrinėjamas klausimas, ar tas 1888 m. rašytas straipsnis gali būti laikomas egodokumentiniu paveldu. Laikomasi nuo­monės, kad tai nėra aiškiai išreikštas egodokumentas, tačiau tam tikrą egodokumentinę vertę jis turi, nes kai kurios teksto vietos leidžia spręsti apie autoriaus kaip įvykių liudininko nuotaiką, vertinimą, asmenybės bruožus, interesus, viltis, siekius bei vizijas. Remiantis J. Vitarto straips­niu ir kai kuriomis kitomis publikacijomis, taip pat nagrinėjama istorinė regioninės Panevėžio priklausomybės samprata, pažymima, kad laikui bėgant ji kito. Be to, atkreipiamas dėmesys, kad lietuvių ir lenkų požiūris traktuojant Žemaitijos teritoriją, taip pat teritorinį Lietuvos suvokimą ne­būtinai sutapo, o kai kurie regioninio traktavimo skirtumai lietuviškoje ir lenkiškoje mokslinėje literatūroje išliko iki mūsų dienų.
