Report on the 11th international workshop on the CCN family of genes, Nice, October 20-24, 2022.

In celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the inception of the CCN society, and of the first post-Covid-19 live meeting, the executive board of the ICCNS had chosen Nice as the venue for the 11th International workshop on the CCN family of genes. On this occasion participation in the meeting was extended to colleagues from other cell signaling fields who were invited to present both an overview of their work and the future directions of their laboratory. Also, for the first time, the members of the JCCS Editorial Board were invited to participate in a JCCS special session during which all aspects of the journal « life » were addressed and opened to free critical discussion. The scientific presentations and the discussions that followed showed once more that an expansion of the session topics was beneficial to the quality of the meeting and confirmed that the ARBIOCOM project discussed last April in Nice was now on track to be launched in 2023. The participants unanimously welcomed Professor Attramadal's proposition to organize the 2024, 12th International CCN workshop in Oslo, Norway.

Commemorating the past, shaping the future: the jubilee and centenary celebrations of the Stockton and Darlington Railway

This paper examines how and why communities connected to the railways celebrated anniversaries of important moments in the industry’s history. It focuses on the jubilee (1875) and centenary (1925) anniversary celebrations of the Stockton and Darlington Railway (established 1825) by railway companies, workers and local communities. While these anniversaries were used to symbolically affirm a continuity in railway history, they occurred under different organisational conditions – 1875, during the heyday of multiple smaller companies and 1925, during the consolidated control of the amalgamated ‘Big Four’. A comparative study of these commemorative events reveals continuities and changes in the construction of railway history, and corporate and community identities. To demonstrate this, the analysis will focus on narrative construction, temporal interplay between the past, present and future, and the role of agency. Conveyed through a series of commemorative ‘components’ (Papadakis, 2003), these elements converge to establish the shape and function of the events, and highlight the motivations of different groups for celebrating the past, how commemorative narratives were developed for select audiences, and what vehicles were used to carry said narratives. These core narratives concertinaed elements of the industry’s past, present and future, and were deployed to validate cultural values, draw together communities and consolidate political or economic loyalties. Overall, the paper will demonstrate how and why different stakeholders create and foster commemorative cultures, and critique and measure the efficacy of the forms and functions of this performative engagement with railway history.

Local Memory and Urban Space

The paper ponders over the issue of memory and urban space. It shows how these categories have been discussed in the literature and how they are connected to the problem of place identity. The paper also highlights the need to appreciate and assess the physical aspect of objects, which act as memory markers in the urban space. The author argues that what is being memorialised and conveyed as meaning is the past lived experience. As a case in point, two memory acts are analysed in the paper, clearly showing the interdependence of various temporalities in the anniversary celebrations. In the festivities celebrating the 100th (in 1881) and 150th (in 1931/2) anniversaries of the consecration of the Lutheran church in Warsaw, the capital of the Kingdom of Poland in the Russian partition and later the capital of a resurrected independent Polish state after 1918, the different present-oriented needs were mirrored in the narratives and commemorations of the past. Idiosyncratic visions of the past help make the small and vulnerable community of Lutherans in an otherwise primarily Roman Catholic environment more coherent, as its members may lay claim to history and construct and stabilise their identification process as descendants of past generations. Moreover, the material fabric of the church seems to be an indispensable factor. The parishioners’ lived experience appears to be a crucial component of commemorations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Recently, I attended the 25th anniversary celebration for the Power of Nursing Leadership event hosted by the University of Illinois at Chicago’s College of Nursing (CON). Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Joan Shaver, dean of the CON, observed that across the greater metro Chicago-land area, there were many integrated health care delivery systems, community and public health agencies, and large academic teaching hospitals with affiliated colleges of nursing (in addition to other nursing colleges and schools); however, there was little formal acknowledgment in the area about the contributions nurse scientists, leaders, faculty, and staff were making.

Unusual Biotransformation Reactions of Drugs and Drug Candidates.

Detailed assessment of the fate of drugs in nonclinical test species and humans is essential to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines in patients. In this context, biotransformation of drugs and drug candidates has been an area of keen interest over many decades in the pharmaceutical industry as well as academia. Although many of the enzymes and biotransformation pathways involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and more specifically drugs have been well characterized, each drug molecule is unique and constitutes specific challenges for the biotransformation scientist. In this mini-review written for the special issue on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary celebration of Drug Metabolism and Disposition and to celebrate contributions of F. Peter Guengerich, one of the pioneers of the drug metabolism field, recently reported "unusual" biotransformation reactions are presented. Scientific and technological advances in the "toolbox" of the biotransformation scientists are summarized. As the pharmaceutical industry continues to explore therapeutic modalities different from the traditional small molecule drugs, the new challenges confronting the biotransformation scientist as well as future opportunities are discussed. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: For the biotransformation scientists, it is essential to share and be aware of unexpected biotransformation reactions so that they can increase their confidence in predicting metabolites of drugs in humans to ensure the safety and efficacy of these metabolites before the medicines reach large numbers of patients. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent observations of "unusual" metabolites so that the scientists working in the area of drug metabolism can strengthen their readiness in expecting the unexpected.

The State of Research on the National Education Commission in the Context of Its Anniversaries

The aim of the article is to analyze the state of research on the Commission of National Education in the context of its anniversaries, especially anniversary celebrations and scientific achievements in 1873, 1973, 2013 and 2023. The historical-comparative method was used, which is used in research on the course of phenomena and processes taking place in past and is based mainly on the analysis of historical sources. Ceremonies commemorating the founding of KEN provoke increased interest in its merits, because the achievements of this distinguished institution are still in the center of attention, not only of historians, education historians, educators, lawyers, but also of those who treat the Polish Enlightenment tradition as an inspiration for reforming the education system. And this is hardly surprising, because the National Education Commission inspired young people with the spirit of citizenship and patriotism, and thus contributed to the survival of Polish culture and language. Moreover, subsequent anniversary celebrations are also a great way to pay tribute to the members and people cooperating with KEN. Generally, these are activities that serve to consolidate historical memory, because good memory of the past is also a clear awareness of the connection with the present.

The Urban Theatre of the Present : The 40 Years of the Katona József Theatre

Katona József Theatre closed its 40th season on June 16, 2023. Director Gábor Máté said that “the entire staff at the Katona József Theatre can be proud that, despite the ongoing economic difficulties, the 40th season was completed in a manner worthy of the institution’s roots.” During the anniversary celebrations, I watched the performances and was haunted by the thought of taking a look at the Katona (as the people of Budapest call it) from the outside of its cultural framework and creative idiom. For forty years, the Katona has provided a most intensely stimulating discourse on artistic creation in Hungarian, with a specific theatrical idiom and a continuous self-reflective redefinition of its own status. In search of such ideas as “roots” and “worthy manner”, in this paper I juxtapose the 1982 and 2022 seasons to evaluate this complexity as it can be understood and perceived from the perspective of European urban theatre cultures.

ВЫПУСКНИКИ ФАКУЛЬТЕТА ВОСТОЧНЫХ ЯЗЫКОВ ПО ДАННЫМ АНКЕТЫ ПРАЖСКОГО КОМИТЕТА ПО ОЗНАМЕНОВАНИЮ 175-ЛЕТИЯ МОСКОВСКОГО УНИВЕРСИТЕТА

Questionnaire of Prague Committee for Celebration of the 175th Anniversary of Moscow University is a unique mass data source of personal origin. It consists of evidence gathered from graduates from both Russian and emigration educational centers. Among the data, there are 442 answers from graduates from Russian universities. The majority of them represent universities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan’, Kharkov, Warsaw, Odessa, Kiev, Yuriev. The data creates a unique source for studying social adaptation and employment of graduates from Russian universities abroad. More than a half of the respondents were students of Law Department; there were also graduates from departments of Medicine, History and Philology, Physics and Mathematics. Abroad, nearly all the medics managed to find jobs in medicine. Graduates from both History and Philology and Physics and Mathematics were successfully employed as teachers and professors. Law Department graduates turned out to be the least homogenous group. Nevertheless, the majority of them managed to find jobs as clerks, teachers and professors, journalists. However, there was also a small fifth group consisting of 4 graduates from Department of Oriental Languages of St. Petersburg University. Their few stories can’t make a basis for serious generalizations, but they still show several regularities. For instance, all the 4 graduated from the university in the 20th century; all the 4 chose European countries to start a new life. Their stories demonstrate what a combination of factors, like skills and luck, determined the fates of successful emigrants.

ОРГАНІЗАЦІЯ ПІДГОТОВКИ ДО ВІДЗНАЧЕННЯ РАДЯНСЬКИХ МАСОВИХ СВЯТКУВАНЬ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ВІДЗНАЧЕННЯ 10-ї РІЧНИЦІ «ЖОВТНЯ» У ПЕРВОМАЙСЬКОМУ ОКРУЗІ)

With the coming to power of the Bolsheviks, in particular on the territory of Ukraine, considerable attention was paid to the creation of new cultural and ideological standards and their spread among the population. For this, they tried to attract and apply various means and tools, one of which was the creation of a new festive culture. One of the first reforms implemented by the Bolsheviks was the calendar reform of 1918, the transition to the Gregorian calendar and the creation of their own holiday culture. Thus, a number of holidays were created, which were designed to supplant and replace the festive culture of the Russian Empire, as well as to establish Bolshevik control over this sphere. Festive culture was one of the most important tools with which the Bolsheviks tried to convey, spread and consolidate ideological and cultural standards, solutions to political or economic problems among the population. Therefore, Soviet holidays were characterized by centralization and uniformity, and were held according to a single model. For this, appropriate preparation was created and carried out, which was especially important during the preparation for public holidays, for example, the commemoration of the «October» anniversaries, in particular at the local level. The article examines the personalities of the organization of preparation for soviet mass holidays at the local level in the USSR, using the example of preparation for the celebration of the 10th anniversary of «October» in the Pervomaisk district in 1927; the organization and activities of the commissions that prepared for the holiday in the Pervomaisk district are analyzed and covered, the peculiarities of the course of preparation for the holiday are revealed. Keywords: soviet mass holidays, 10th anniversary of «October», Commission for the preparation of the 10th anniversary celebration «October», organization of preparation, unification, centralization.

Yesterdays, Todays, and Tomorrows-Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology.

In 2022, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Korean Society for Pediatric Neuron-Oncology (KSPNO), a commemorative meeting was held with former and current members. At the meeting, there was a special lecture for the retrospect of the Emeritus Professor Thad Ghim, one of the founders and the 1st president (2002-2003) of KSPNO. He celebrated the history and development of the KSPNO, along with the vision of our society. Especially he appreciated the efforts and endeavors of our senior members. In 2001, we started as "Korean Pediatric Neuro-Oncological Study Group." The next year, we changed our name to "Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (KSPNO)." KSPNO emphasized the multidisciplinary approach to patient care. These efforts were strengthened by "The National Cancer Moonshot Initiative" since 2005. Now our society goes forward together with "National Cancer Treatment Guideline Project and Childhood Cancer and Rare Disease Control Group Project." After all, we do not exist for ourselves, but for our sick children.

Newspaper Controversy about the Institution of the Governorates General in the Western Russian Periphery

Several significant events simultaneously took place in 1888: the celebration of the 900th anniversary of the baptism of Rus’, the disaster in Borki and subsequent transformations in the railway business, the beginning of discussions about the project of land captains (head of zemstvo), the accession to the throne of Wilhelm II. In the history of Russian social thought, or rather, in the history of the conservative “camp”, this first years after the death of M. N. Katkov and I. S. Aksakov became a year of decisive crisis. The so-called “Russian conservatism” had never been a single entity. Ever since the 1860s, two different types of conservatism opposed each other aristocratic and national. One of the most important subjects of constant discussions between these camps was the Polish question, which encompassed not only national, but also social problems. It remained relevant in the late 1880s, when the nationalist camp was represented by the epigones of M. N. Katkov and by A. S. Suvorin. V. P. Meshcherskii and K. N. Leontiev stood out among the class conservatives. Both ideological and literary trends were inspired by influential dignitaries: on the one hand, by K. P. Pobedonostsev, on the other, by T. I. Filippov. The most striking episode of this ideological struggle was the controversy around the Kiev celebrations dedicated to the 900th anniversary of the baptism of Rus’. The unexpected death at these celebrations of the Kiev Governor-General A. R. Drentel’n exacerbated the debate about the need to maintain the governor-general in the North-Western and South-Western regions. This institution at the time was regarded as emergency, and the controversy about it became at the same time a controversy about the extent to which the Polish question was resolved in these regions. In the ensuing discussion, the nationalist publications “Novoye Vremya” and “Kievlianin” supported the preservation of the governorates. The cohort of opponents of the governorates included the conservative “Grazhdanin”, the liberal “Novosti”, and the Polish newspaper “Kraj”, which was published in St. Petersburg. A peculiar position was taken by the liberal “Kievskoe slovo”.

Памятники Великой Отечественной войны в Азербайджане: проблемы сохранения и художественно-эстетической интерпретации

The paper addresses the topic of monuments and memorials of the Great Patriotic War located in Azerbaijan. The author notes that a large number of memorials dedicated to the memory of fallen compatriots — heroes of the Second World War are concentrated in the cities and towns of the republic. Most of these monuments were erected in the 70s of the past century, especially on the eve of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the great victory over fascism. Today, like many years ago, these monuments are in good condition, as local authorities are taking care of them. Almost all of them were restored during the years of independence and acquired new artistic and aesthetic qualities. The research deals with memorial complexes, monuments and obelisks located in large cities and regions of Azerbaijan — in Ganja, Sumgait, Lankaran, in Gazakh, Barda, Oguz and other regions. Analyzing these monuments, the author comes to the conclusion that most of them are characterized by the originality of the creative concept, expressiveness and dynamics of the pictorial language, a successful combination of the artistic significance of the compositional solution with its ideological and moral content. Many of them are the best ac39hievements of the monumental fine arts of Azerbaijan to this day.

Теодор Драйзер в Ленинграде. Новые материалы

Theodorе Dreiser was invited to the USSR to take part in the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution. His visit to the Soviet Union that lasted over two months (November 4, 1926 — January 13, 1928) has been documented and studied quite well: Dreiser's Russian diary that he kept during his travel was published almost 30 years ago, and four years ago its Russian translation appeared. Another source is Ruth Epperson Kennell’s book Theodore Dreiser and the USSR. A First- Hand Chronicle (1969). A number of studies and scholarly publications are devoted to Dreiser’s trip; however, new materials and documents that contribute to more detailed reconstruction of Dreiser’s Russian journey still are being found in the archives. New documents from the funds of the All-Union Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries (VOKS) that highlight Dreiser’s stay in Leningrad (November 26 — December 2, 1927) are published in the Addendum to the article: a report submitted to VOKS by Sergei Trivas, officer for Anglo-American countries, who accompanied Dreiser as a guide and interpreter, and a letter of gratitude from Dreiser to Nikolai Derzhavin, VOKS representative in Leningrad.

Празднование 175-летия Московского университета в русском зарубежье (о методиках исследования)

The article defines research methods for studying the mechanism of formation of the cultural and historical identity of Russian emigrants of the "first wave" who survived such traumatic events as the 1917 revolution and the Russian Civil War. The author substantiates the most important research methods that will make it possible to combine the narratological study of commemorative practices with the mathematical analysis of mass sources that recorded the change in the situation of that part of the Russian intellectual elite that ended up in exile. As a basic principle for studying the anniversary celebrations on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of Moscow University, he puts forward a semiotic approach to this event, which was a symbolic embodiment of collective identity. Much attention is paid to the anthropological and pragmatic turns in the study of the history of universities, as well as the importance of emotional characteristics in the study of the value orientations of the academic community in the Russian diaspora. The prosopographic method is indicated as a way to combine narratological and statistical analysis of historical sources.
