Archival Files Research Articles

К вопросу о награждении корреспондентов Русско-турецкой войны 1877-1878 гг.

The article is devoted to a brief analysis of the previously unknown archival file “On awarding of former newspaper correspondent Rose and Colonel Brukenberry.” It refers to military reporters William Kinnaird Rose and Charles Brackenbury who accompanied the army of the Russian Empire in the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878. William Rose represented provincial press of Great Britain; he wrote for the Scottish newspaper “The Scotsman.” Charles Brackenbury, Colonel of the British army, was absent with leave during the campaign; his reports were published in “The Times.” The file “On awarding of former newspaper correspondent Rose and Colonel Brackenbury” contains the correspondence of the Russian embassy in London with Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs N. K. Girs. William Rose made a request at the embassy to reward him for the last war campaign. This request was granted and a light bronze medal “In memory of the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878” was sent to the correspondent. Immediately afterward, Charles Brackenbury made a similar request; there is no information on the receipt of the award in his case. Researchers were aware of the awarding of several correspondents during the campaign, including Colonel Brackenbury, but not that it continued after the campaign. With the discovery of documents on the awarding in 1879, it can be said that the Russian authorities encouraged foreign journalists, possibly in order to maintain friendly state-to-state relations. The document also shows that the correspondents made their request at the Russian embassy in London; as far as we know, it was not habitual procedure during the hostilities, when command representatives applied for medals. It is also worth noting that information on the awarding of William Rose was not published previously in either Russian or foreign sources. The new material allows to deepen the existing knowledge on the activities of foreign correspondents in the Russo-Turkish war. The issue has been addressed rarely if ever, and always in precedent-setting, hence the author’s interest in the topic: for the first time in the history of journalism, relations with foreign and Russian correspondents were cultivated in the wartime; for the first time correspondents admitted to the theater of operation were recommended for state awards of the Russian Empire.

Діяльність органів контролю Української держави й УСРР під час ревізій усправах цукрової монополії та перевірок цільового використання коштів, виділених на організацію влади в умовах воєнної кампанії 1918–1919 років

The purpose of the article is to analyze the results of the activity of Ukrainian State control bodies and the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic during the audits of the sugar monopoly and to verify the targeted use of funds allocated for the organization of power in military conditions of 1918–1919, as well as the coverage of legislative grounds, shortcomings of the legislation of those times. Methodology. In the course of the research the historical-legal, comparative-legal method, scientific methods of analysis and induction were used. The empirical basis for this publication was the archival files of the funds of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of the Ukrainian State, the People’s Commissariat of Workers and Peasants’ Inspections of the Ukrainian SSR, which are in the Central State Archives of Higher Authorities and Administration of Ukraine. Scientific novelty. For the first time the author makes a historical-legal, comparative-legal analysis of the normative-legal provisions of the activity of bodies (institutions) of the State Control of the Ukrainian State and the State Control Committee of the Ukrainian SSR in the first stage of its activity. Some of the results of the first revision of this article are of historical interest and indicate a significant influence of the military-political situation on the legal regime in Ukraine in the period 1918–1919. Conclusions. On the basis of the conducted research on the results of the analysis of the results of audits in the cases of sugar monopoly, the activities of the Military (Field) Control, it was established that the legal, organizational and personnel support of the activities of the bodies (institutions) of the State Control allowed to carry out actual audits, the results of which were used in criminal the judiciary of those times. At the same time, if the results of the audits revealed that there had been unlawful requisitions of sugar on the part of certain military authorities of the Allied Central Powers, as a rule, the police did not provide a proper criminal assessment of such actions and the materials of the audits were sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for diplomatic decision. The results of one of the audits carried out by the Field Control revealed the fact that there were secret charges for bribing German officers and soldiers in the last days of the Ukrainian State. Keywords: State Control; audit; financial control; intelligence; Ukrainian State; USSR; sugar monopoly.

Social Impacts of Dam-Induced Displacement and Resettlement: A Comparative Case Study in China

Dam projects are inevitably accompanied by massive displacement and resettlement, which imposes intricate social impacts on the host community. This study aims to investigate the social impacts of dam-induced displacement and resettlement in China through a comparative case study where both the control and experimental groups were investigated. Data were collected through a mix of questionnaire-survey, archival files, and face-to-face interviews. The results show that dam-induced displacement and resettlement was conducive to improving residence conditions and facilitating the acceptance of rural cooperative medical insurance. But it had negative impacts on employment, income level and income resource, and overall well-being. Implications for theory and for practice are provided in the end.

Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s Autocracy: Governmental Constraints, 1960s–1970s

Even when Mohammad Reza Shah became an autocrat by the early 1960s, systemic constraints on his power persisted. One was government officials. They certainly accepted the shah’s governmental centrality. But in parallel they inventively created more elbowroom for themselves than they are normally credited for, shaping everyday administration and co-shaping policies. The article substantiates this argument in two steps. First, it looks at Iran’s Sāzmān-e bimeh-hā-ye ejtemāʿi-ye kārgarān (Workers Social Insurance Organization [SBIK]), drawing principally on French-language International Labor Organization (ILO) archival files. Although the shah had a well-publicized stake in social insurance expansion, the SBIK influenced policy strategy, sometimes against his explicit wishes; also, it handled routine operations and relations with the ILO independently from him. Second, the article zooms out to analyze Persian-language Harvard University Iranian Oral History Project interviews with high-ranking officials, alongside other published and unpublished sources, to show how government officials maintained some autonomy vis-à-vis the shah. Their strategies included self-effacement, the agreement on a unified cabinet policy position before a royal audience, resignation threats, open pushback, and gifts, including favors, to third parties.

Excellence in orthopaedic surgery: an overview of Nobel Prize nominees 1901–1960 with focus on Friedrich Pauwels and Gerhard Küntscher

This paper provides for the first time an overview of orthopaedic surgeons nominated for the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine during the first six decades of the twentieth century. The study is part of the project "Enacting Excellency: Nobel Prize nominations for surgeons 1901-1960". The nomination letters were gathered in the archive of the Nobel Committee at the Karolinska Institute in Solna, Sweden. Among the nominees, we find renowned scholars like Pierre Delbet, Themistocles Gluck, Gerhard Küntscher, Adolf Lorenz, Friedrich Pauwels, Leslie Rush, and Marius Smith-Petersen. The focus of the paper is on nominations for Pauwels (work on biomechanics) and Küntscher (the Küntscher nail). Both were nominated by German surgeons. Although no orthopaedic surgeon has yet received a Nobel Prize for an orthopaedic achievement, Nobel archive files can help reconstruct important trends in the field during the twentieth century.

Censorship and Publication Control in Early Post-War Taiwan: Procedures and Practices

This article explores how state institutions and party organs of the Kuomintang used various means of exercising power and projecting authority in order to shape the literary scene and literary production in Taiwan during the early post-war period (1945–1949). Censorship is examined from two complementary perspectives. First, integrating the Taiwanese case into a broader political and social context, the presentation focuses on the legal framework of the publishing law of Republican China and on regulations propagated in local official bulletins. Second, the article analyses censorship as a practice and set of procedures. This second part is based on the archival files of Taiwan Historica, which holds official documents from both early post-war governments. The archival material unveils some of the motivations behind censorship practices, and helps us to understand chosen strategies to legitimise sociocultural norms.

The role and the interventions of the Hospital Social Service (HSS) for the integration of the health and social activities: a comparative survey between 2008 and 2014 in the Social Service of the "Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico Umberto I" in Rome, Italy.

In the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico Umberto I in Rome, the Hospital Social Services (HSS) is located within the Directorate of Health, reporting directly to the Chief Medical Officer, providing counselling and supporting clinical services. The HSS is part of a network with its own technical, professional and assessment independence. It often serves as liaison between the hospital and the territory, facilitating the development of services and contributing to public health recovery and maintenance, therefore improving the citizens' standard of living thanks to aid projects and specific interventions. The present Report is based on two different studies carried out in 2008 and 2014, both examining the work of the Hospital Social Service in the "Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico Umberto I" in Rome. The purpose is to compare these surveys and work out the results. The data collection is based on a number of social records from the HSS archives (814 records in 2008 and 790 in 2014). The research project followed subsequent stages: planning a draft of the research, where ethnomethodology was used as empirical evaluation technique; collecting data from the HSS's paper and file archives (biographical, clinical and social data); revising, analysing and elaborating the data which showed relevant changes leading to interesting conclusions. The comparative analysis of data showed a higher demand of HSS healthcare services, despite a smaller number of beds and hospitalisations available in standard regime. Also, it indicated an increase of patients below 18 years and a decrease of the over-65s age group. As for the geographical origin of patients reported to the HSS, there was a decrease in the percentage of Italian citizens, while the percentage of irregular non-EU and EU patients increased by over 5%. Significant results were found comparing the days between the report to the HSS and patient discharge. Data concerning the 'more than 7 days' group was steady over the years, being more consistent for both the variables considered and increasing in 2014. In the comparative analysis, the interventions with more significant differences were those aimed at promoting homecare and entering sheltered housing. In the former cases, a considerable decrease was observed, if compared to the activation of the integrated health and social homecare services, while there were more requests for homecare assistance; in the latter ones the analysis highlighted a sharp decrease in the percentage of the variable called "assessment to enter Extended Care Units". The causes of these changes are remarkable and have to be found in the political, historical and cultural scenario: - a first factor is the increase in the more recent migratory flow from non-EU countries to Italy, which could explain the rising percentage of foreigners taken over by the HSS; - regional policies, economic cuts imposed on healthcare and higher income limits in order to calculate the patient's economic participation in the costs of institutionalisation have affected the above-mentioned changes; - the innovations in the regulatory field of Latium Region have brought structural changes in long-term care facilities and in the level of care in Extended Care Units (ECU).

Survey of Penetration Injuries Caused to Major Operation on Patients Refer to Tonekabon Shahid Rajaee Hospital, Mazandaran North of Iran during 2015-2016

Introduction: Trauma is considered as one of the major causes of mortality in the World and in Iran. Which, many people die each year. The aim of study we evaluated penetrating traumas as Specific reason of deaths among affected patients.Materials and Methods: In this crosssectional retrospective study, 73patients with penetrating traumas visiting Shahid Rajaee hospital of Tonekabon in 2015-16were evaluated, then, the files were extracted from hospital archive files and information of patients such as age, sex, The type of agent and the cause of the injury, the reasons for the surgery and the type of surgery were recorded from the archived files, then, The data were statistically analyzed by the SPSS software.Results: Based on the findings, over the 60 (80 %) of patients were males, that was a significant relationship between sex and penetrating trauma. Also, the most common were penetrating trauma in the age group of 21-35 years old. There was a significant relationship between age and penetrating traumas (p<0.05), it should be noted that, other variables in this studies were not related significantly withthepenetrating trauma in patients. (p>0.05).Conclusion: The more common causes of penetrating traumas among young are Damage from driving accidents which require better Facilities to manage them. Also, the role of emergency rooms and the provision of equipment to reduce mortality from penetrating trauma can be mentioned.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(3) 2018 p.484-488

Continuous national gross domestic product (GDP) time series for 195 countries: past observations (1850–2005) harmonized with future projections according to the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (2006–2100)

Abstract. Gross domestic product (GDP) represents a widely used metric to compare economic development across time and space. GDP estimates have been routinely assembled only since the beginning of the second half of the 20th century, making comparisons with prior periods cumbersome or even impossible. In recent years various efforts have been put forward to re-estimate national GDP for specific years in the past centuries and even millennia, providing new insights into past economic development on a snapshot basis. In order to make this wealth of data utilizable across research disciplines, we here present a first continuous and consistent data set of GDP time series for 195 countries from 1850 to 2009, based mainly on data from the Maddison Project and other population and GDP sources. The GDP data are consistent with Penn World Tables v8.1 and future GDP projections from the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), and are freely available at http://doi.org/10.5880/pik.2018.010 (Geiger and Frieler, 2018). To ease usability, we additionally provide GDP per capita data and further supplementary and data description files in the online archive. We utilize various methods to handle missing data and discuss the advantages and limitations of our methodology. Despite known shortcomings this data set provides valuable input, e.g., for climate impact research, in order to consistently analyze economic impacts from pre-industrial times to the future.

Histologic Features of Gastrointestinal Tract Biopsies in IgA Vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein Purpura).

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis or Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) typically occurs in the pediatric population, although rare cases also occur in adults. Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is common. The "classic" histologic finding in IgA vasculitis (HSP) is leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV); other histologic features in biopsies of IgA vasculitis (HSP) have only been rarely described. The pathology archival files at our institution were searched for GI biopsies from patients with IgA vasculitis (HSP). Slides were retrieved and histologic and clinical features were reviewed. We identified 16 patients with IgA vasculitis (HSP) with a GI biopsy series, including both adult and pediatric patients. The most common histologic abnormality was lamina propria hemorrhage (all cases) with many cases also showing lamina propria fibrin deposition with red cell sludging and nuclear debris (7 cases). Twelve of the 16 duodenal biopsies had acute duodenitis; 3 of which were severe and erosive. Several also had an eosinophilic infiltrate. Seven of the 9 jejunal and/or ileal biopsies had acute jejunitis or ileitis. An acute colitis or proctitis was observed in 9/12 colorectal biopsies. Four biopsies contained LCV; in each of these cases, the involved vessels were small capillaries within the lamina propria. Only 1 biopsy contained deeper submucosal vessels, but they were uninvolved. Sites involved by LCV included the colorectum (2 cases), colorectum and terminal ileum, terminal ileum only, duodenum, and jejunum (1 case each). All patients presented with abdominal pain; 13/16 developed a rash, 1 following the index biopsy. Other presenting symptoms included diarrhea and/or hematochezia (8 cases), nausea/vomiting (5 cases), and intussusception (1 case). Four patients had concurrent skin biopsies showing LCV; only 1 of these patients had LCV on GI biopsy. Indications for biopsy included nonspecific presenting symptoms, absence of rash at presentation, and/or failure to respond adequately to steroid therapy. Biopsies are commonly performed in patients with or without suspected IgA vasculitis (HSP) to rule out infection, inflammatory bowel disease, and less commonly, vasculitis. In general, vasculitis is not commonly observed in GI biopsies of patients with IgA vasculitis (HSP), and the spectrum of findings includes neutrophilic infiltrate within the small bowel and colon, with the duodenum most commonly affected. While the clinical and histologic findings may mimic early inflammatory bowel disease, the presence of predominant small bowel involvement, especially erosive duodenitis, should raise suspicion for IgA vasculitis (HSP). Biopsies should be obtained before steroid therapy is initiated, if possible.

Improving the Quality of Backup Process for Publishing Houses and Printing Houses

The analysis of main types for data threats, used by print media, and their influence on the vitality and security of information is made. The influence of the programs settings for preparing archive files, the types of file managers on the backup process is analysed. We proposed a simple and economical version of the practical implementation of the backup process consisting of 4 components: the command line interpreter, the 7z archiver, the Robocopy utility, and network storage. We recommend that the best option would be to create backup copies, consisting of three local copies of data and two network copies.

VERIFICATION MODEL FOR THE SYSTEMS WITH LIMITED RESOURCES

Context. In the article the task of systems with limited resources verification is considered. One of the challenges for implementation of concurrent minicomputer systems for implementations its in real products is high requirements to the limited hardware. As a result it course additional requirements for them and limited the sphere of their implementation especially in critical real-time systems in medicine or defense industry. That’s why development verification tools for minicomputer systems is actual task. The object of the research – the process of modelling of reconfiguring systems with limited resources functionality.Objective – to improve reliability of systems with limited resources by ensuring of data integrity and automating of the verification process.Method. The model of systems with limited resources verification based on the verification model of web-oriented systems is obtained, which describes the verified components of objects and the way of data exchange based on the dynamic model of data transmission. The concept of “functional unit” has been modified by adding hardware blocks, which makes it possible to automate the testing of these elements. The advantage of this model is that it collect results of verification of the devices connected to the minicomputers systems and describes the optimal period for reading archive files, which improve the relevance and integrity of test results for systems with limited resources. As a case study, the architecture of a minicomputer system based on Raspberry Pi was considered by the authors.Results. Developed model was applied for the verification of the remote laboratory for reliability tasks (ISRT).Conclusions. In the article the modified model for system with limited resources verification is suggested, which in contrast to web-oriented verification model describes adaptive architecture of the embedded systems and use model for data transition into the external storage, which make possible to implement this model for variety of hardware configurations.

Immunohistochemical Expression of Debiquitinating Enzyme OTUB1 in Colorectal Carcinoma

AbstractBackground and Objective: Colorectal Carcinoma (CRC) is the most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. The overall five-year survival for colon cancer and rectal cancer are 65% and 68%, respectively with liver metastasis being the leading cause of death. Despite the use of active targeted drugs for treatment of metastatic CRC in the past decade, cure rates remain low. Therefore, research on novel markers for earlier diagnosis and target therapy of CRC is of a great concern. OTUB1 (OTU deubiquitinase, ubiquitin aldehyde binding 1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) that belongs to the OTU (ovarian tumor) superfamily. The aim of this work is to study the immunohistochemical expression of OTUB1 in CRC and its correlation with the available clinico-pathological variables.Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on a total number of 45 cases of CRC. All cases were retrieved from the archival files of the pathology labs of Ain Shams University Hospitals (from 2012-2016). Immu-nohistochemistry using rabbit polyclonal anti OTUB 1 antibody was performed.Results: OTUB 1 was overexpressed in CRC tissues, and the expression level of OTUB1 was correlated significantly with histologic grade (p<0.001), depth of invasion (pathological T) (p=0.03) and location of CRC (p=0.002). On the other hand, no significant correlation was found with age, gender, metastasis whether nodal or distant, TNM stage and size of tumor.Conclusion: OTUB1 may have a possible role in tumor differentiation as well as local tumor invasion, thus could be useful in identification of biologically aggressive tumors in colonoscopic biopsies in addition to providing a basis for targeted therapy which could play a major role in the treatment of CRC.
