Institute of the National Heritage: A Retrospective of the Idea, Image and Economic Constitutionalization

The institution of the national heritage takes an important place in the Soviet constitutional construction, in the history of legal science and in the practical construction of the planned economy — the most efficient economy in the world. Its introduction was dictated by the revolutionary conditions of 1917, passed all legislative levels of consolidation, served as the material for the work of the Gosplan of the USSR — the state body responsible for planning the development of the national economy of the USSR and monitoring planned implementation. It also was the foundation for the work of large‑scale state enterprises that create high income for the development of high rates of industrial economy and increase the standard of living of the population. The historical and legal research of the Institute of National Heritage, the experience of the development of a planned economy, should be conducted in the national interests of the Russian Federation. The institution of the national heritage, its constitutional consolidation and implementation have become a basic part of the socially oriented economic organization of the Russian statehood. The socially oriented economic organization of the State, in turn, is the target task of economic constitutionalization. 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the first Union Constitution of the USSR in 1924. It should be assumed that not only a historian or a lawyer, but also any person who is not professionally involved in the evolution of statehood, knows that the new constitution arises as a result of political, social, and economic transformations. There is a reason to recall the Soviet state‑building, its main motivational forces. There are epoch‑making constitutions adopted as a result of revolutions — in the Russian past, these were the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918 and the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993. The Constitution of the USSR of 1924 would not have seen the light if there had not been the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1918, which, in turn, the world would not have seen without the revolutionary events of 1917. The Constitutions of 1936 and 1977 were in progress. What is the legal idea that permeates the entire Soviet history? Let’s try to answer the question.

Max Bill's concrete art, as an instrument against irrational thinking and arguments in medicine.

Medicine is currently confronted with an increase in irrationality, and non-scientific thinking manifesting in semingly more holistic and natural treatment options, especially in cancer therapy. The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated that irrational beliefs are widely spread even among physicians. Max Bill (1908-94) was a Swiss architect, designer, and artist representing an art style called concrete art that focuses on geometrical abstraction and mathematical thinking. December 9, 2024, will be the 30th death anniversary of Max Bill. The following manuscript describes Max Bill's life and art and tries to offer some suggestions on how his concept of art together with the philosophy of critical rationalism may be excellent instruments to teach medical students and young doctors scientific thinking, and may even be an antidote for irrationality in medicine.

A Decade of Multi-Beam SEM Technology – Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of MultiSEM

Solvability of a system of linear equations—an approach based on the generalized inverses determined by the Penrose equations ★ ★ The paper is dedicated to Professor Götz Trenkler on the occasion of his eightieth birthday on July 14, 2023. I am sincerely thankful for over twenty years of our friendship and collaboration! Many happy returns, my Best Man!

The paper aims to play an expository role, providing a tailored introduction to the theory of matrix generalized inverses determined by the so-called Penrose equations, with the Moore–Penrose inverse as the jewel in the crown. The tailoring is made taking into account applicability of the inverses to solvability of a system of linear equations, which covers, inter alia, the least squares method. The method is introduced in a formal, though compendious way, with an intention to support researchers who want to consciously utilize it in their investigations. Additionally, the paper points out various links between the generalized inverses and theory of projectors, indicating issues which are relevant from the perspective of physics. The article can be viewed as a sequel of [O.M. Baksalary and G. Trenkler, ‘The Moore–Penrose inverse—a hundred years on a frontline of physics research,’ Eur. Phys. J. H 46, 9 (2021)], the paper prepared to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first definition of the Moore–Penrose inverse, which shades a spotlight on the role the inverse plays in physics.

The toponymic battle: Renaming streets in Santiago de Chile 50 years after the military coup

ABSTRACT In July and August of 2023, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the military coup in Chile (September 11, 1973), the Santiago City Council chose to honor the civil-military dictatorship victims by renaming 12 streets in the district. Unexpectedly, the Namur neighborhood, which had a one-block street set to be renamed “Ida Amelia Vera Almarza”—a dictatorship victim—mobilized and vehemently protested the decision. Utilizing a critical approach based on grounded theory and thematic analysis—in which the analysis arises “bottom-up” from an inductive triangulation of various sources—this article examines the reasons for opposing this renaming. The results reveal two primary reasons for opposition: the community’s need to preserve their historical identity embodied in the street’s name (Namur) and their feeling of exclusion and mistreatment. Contrary to some perceptions, this opposition was not driven by denialist or far-right ideologies. Thus, this article offers a novel viewpoint that extends beyond the traditional scholarly understanding of memory politics and suggests that memory battles are not solely about clashes between those for and against victim memorialization. Hence, it urges scholars and practitioners to delve deeper into the motivations behind the opposition to memory and human rights policies.

American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of the Neurological Surgeons Section on Tumors Guidelines: Assessing Their Impact on Brain Tumor Clinical Practice.

Clinical guidelines direct healthcare professionals toward evidence-based practices. Evaluating guideline impact can elucidate information penetration, relevance, effectiveness, and alignment with evolving medical knowledge and technological advancements. As the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Section on Tumors marks its 40th anniversary in 2024, this article reflects on the tumor guidelines established by the Section over the past decade and explores their impact on other publications, patents, and information dissemination. Six tumor guideline categories were reviewed: low-grade glioma, newly diagnosed glioblastoma, progressive glioblastoma, metastatic brain tumors, vestibular schwannoma, and pituitary adenomas. Citation data were collected from Google Scholar and PubMed. Further online statistics, such as social media reach, and features in policy, news, and patents were sourced from Altmetric. Online engagement was assessed through website and CNS+ mobile application visits. Data were normalized to time since publication. Metastatic Tumor guidelines (2019) had the highest PubMed citation rate at 26.1 per year and webpage visits (29 100 page views 1/1/2019-9/30/2023). Notably, this guideline had two endorsement publications by partner societies, the Society of Neuro-Oncology and American Society of Clinical Oncology, concerning antiepileptic prophylaxis and steroid use, and the greatest reach on X (19.7 mentions/y). Citation rates on Google Scholar were led by Vestibular Schwannoma (2018). Non-Functioning Pituitary Adenoma led Mendeley reads. News, patent, or policy publications were led by low-grade glioma at 1.5/year. Our study shows that the American Association of Neurological Surgeons/Congress of Neurological Surgeons Section on Tumors guidelines go beyond citations in peer-reviewed publications to include patents, online engagement, and information dissemination to the public.

The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors at 75: perspectives on contemporary challenges and future directions for Ergonomics and Human Factors

As the UK’s Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF) celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is worth reflecting on our discipline’s contribution, current state, and critical future endeavours. We present the perspectives of 18 EHF professionals who were asked to respond to five questions regarding the impact of EHF, contemporary challenges, and future directions. Co-authors were in agreement that EHF’s impact has been only limited to date and that critical issues require resolution, such as increasing the number of suitably qualified practitioners, resolving the research-practice gap, and increasing awareness of EHF and its benefits. Frequently discussed future directions include advanced emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, the development of new EHF methods, and enhancing the quality and reach of education and training. The majority felt there will be a need for EHF in 75 years; however, many noted that our methods will need to adapt to meet new needs. Practitioner statement: This article provides the perspectives of 18 Ergonomics and Human Factors (EHF) professionals on the impact of EHF, contemporary challenges and critical future directions, and changes that are necessary to ensure EHF remains relevant in future. As such, it provides important guidance on future EHF research and practice.

The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary.

The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) started in August 2003 with 40 initial participants and celebrated its 20th anniversary with 1036 members, many of whom attended the annual meeting in Dublin, Ireland, on July 15 to 17, 2023. GRAPPA arose from a need experienced by psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (PsO) investigators to meet to address questions related to psoriatic disease (PsD). Though other groups were meeting at the time to classify and discuss PsA, GRAPPA arose from a desire to include international clinical and investigational researchers of both dermatology and rheumatology. The organization has built awareness of PsO and PsA, developed and validated research assessment tools to measure clinical status and disease outcomes, published multiple treatment recommendations, supported basic and clinical research on PsD pathophysiology, fostered interactions across research fields, and educated the future generation of PsO and PsA researchers. The group continues to focus on major priorities affecting patients with PsD and will continue evolving in the next decades.

Prologue: Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 Annual Meeting.

The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting was held on July 13 to 15, 2023, in Dublin, Ireland, and was attended by 285 rheumatologists, dermatologists, trainees, patient research partners (PRPs), representatives of patient organizations, and industry partners. The 20th anniversary of GRAPPA was celebrated with a special presentation and archival video. Ahead of the meeting, the PRP Network met, a workshop was held by the International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) group, and there was a workshop in which researchers discussed advancing ultrasound use to improve the management of psoriatic disease (PsD). Young-GRAPPA also held a workshop and business meeting. Multiple presentations highlighted important topics currently influencing PsD, including ensuring that patients are included in advancing research, the role of depression in PsD, the use of magnetic resonance imaging for spinal lesions, and animal models of PsD, among others. Debates focused on whether biologics should be used for mild psoriasis, whether methotrexate should remain the first-line treatment for PsD, and whether PsD is really a primary enthesitis driving joint synovitis. Here we provide an overview of the features of the GRAPPA 2023 annual meeting and introduce the manuscripts published together in this supplement as a meeting report.

Alfred Otto Carl Nier: On the Shoulders of a Mass Spectrometry Giant.

This Perspective pays homage to Alfred Otto Carl Nier, whose substantial contributions were fundamental in shaping the mass spectrometry field into a key technology in research and industry. On the 30th anniversary of his passing, on May 16, 1994, this paper explores Nier's role in the field of mass spectrometry through an overview of his published works, key interviews, and archival material. Nier, originally an electrical engineer turned physicist, spent most of his scientific career at the University of Minnesota. His many innovations, both instrumental and methodological, encompassed advanced fields such as isotopic research, tracer studies, geochronology, or space research. Nier improved sector mass spectrometers, participated in the development of the isotope-ratio mass spectrometry field, developed a double-focusing sector mass spectrometer, and was a relevant member of the Manhattan Project. Today, Nier's influence persists, inspiring new generations of scientists engaged in cutting-edge research, from environmental studies to planetary exploration. His legacy thrives as current technologies and scientific strategies still echo his innovations and foresight.

Analisis Wacana Kritis Norman Fairclough Pernyataan Megawati: “Pak Jokowi Kalau nggak Ada PDI Perjuangan duh Kasihan dah”

Partai Demokrasi Indonesia Perjuangan (PDIP) held its 50th Anniversary celebration on January 10, 2023. During the celebration, Megawati as the Chairperson of the party mentioned, "Mr. Jokowi, if there is no PDI Perjuangan, I'm sorry,". The statement received applause from the audience at JIEXPO Kemayoran. The video of Megawati's statement was uploaded again by KompasTV through the Youtube channel and received various responses. This research uses a qualitative research method with a critical discourse analysis approach of the Norman Fairclough model. The purpose of this research is to dissect discourse in three dimensions, namely textual, discourse practices, and sociocultural practices. Textually, the use of linguistic elements in the form of diction and majas is found. The dimension of discourse practice can be seen from the parties involved in making the video from KompasTV media through the Youtube channel. The level of consumption of this discourse is not only consumed by subscribers, but the wider netizen can access the information and provide comments. The sociocultural dimension is divided into three, namely situational, institutional, and social. Situational saw the situation when Megawati's 50th anniversary of PDIP received a response of applause when delivering the discourse. Institutional shows that PDIP's vote share has decreased in the 2024 elections. Then the social level in the discourse consists of cultural and political elements.

Twenty-five years of the Journal of Risk Research: a bibliometric overview

The Journal of Risk Research is a leading international journal in risk research connected to multidisciplinary areas. It was launched in 1998 and founded by Ragnar E. Löfstedt. Motivated by its 25th anniversary in 2023, this paper presents a general bibliometric overview of the leading trends occurring in the journal between 1998 and 2023. The study aims to identify the journal’s impact, the most productive and influential authors, institutions, countries/territories, leading topics, and to analyse their evolution through time. The work mainly uses the Scopus database to analyse the bibliometric data. But in some particular cases, the Web of Science Core Collection database is also used to supplement bibliographic information. Moreover, we develop a graphical mapping of the bibliographic material by applying the Visualisation of Similarities (VOS) viewer software to provide deeper analyses. The graphical visualisation uses co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of author keywords. The results emphasise the significant growth and impact of the journal throughout its entire lifetime. It is expected that the journal will continue growing its international diversity and disseminating knowledge in risk research all over the world.

TRANSNATIONAL RECEPTION RESEARCH ON TURKISH TV DIZIS (SERIES): A META-SYNTHESIS

This study aims to analyse empirical research conducted in various countries on the reception of Turkish TV series (dizis) that have gained worldwide popularity. The purpose of the study is to enhance existing knowledge by comparing and synthesizing the findings and to provide a comprehensive perspective that can be used in practice. With the new millennium, Turkey ranked second in the world in TV series exports. In 2023, the 100th anniversary of the Republic, it has become a country exporting hundreds of dizis to more than a hundred countries. Turkish TV dizis, whose popularity is increasing daily, are reaching viewers worldwide through various platforms and influencing them. Without isolating local and universal cultural values from each other, Turkish TV dizis offer a transnational cultural acquaintance opportunity to audiences far and near. The soft power of TV dizis should be considered in Turkey’s culturally diversified tourist spectrum. Studies on the perception of Turkish TV dizis in various continents require meta-synthesis. Although these studies mainly emphasise the transnational success of Turkish TV dizis, negative criticisms are also encountered. According to the findings, even if there are geographical and religious differences, empirical research in the Google Scholar database shows a diverse reception of cultural proximity. Such a meta-synthesis is necessary to contribute to the global sustainable circulation of the dizis and their positive potential reception and impact.
