The Relations of Nicolae Iorga with Stahl Family

These pages try to bring some research assistance on father , Henri (1878-1942) and son, H.H. ( 1901-1991). Both of them were strongly influenced by their close relationship with N.Iorga. Henri, famous stenographer, was a professor of Romanian history. Iorga had been his master since 1898 and continued to be a beloved friend. Stahl relentlessly helped him by transcribing lectures, speeches and books. Here are retraced the main steps over the war. He published semiautobiographical accounts, vivid depictions of usual life in old Bucharest and even a novel about a fake travel to the Moon.

The Role of Yusuf Akçura in the Formation of Turkish National Historiography

This article discusses the formation of Yusuf Akçura as a professional historian and one of the founders of the Turkish national historiography in the Republican period. Researchers of his works used to focus on his socio-political activities, educational and public work. His role as one of the first Turkish historiographers, who took seriously the idea of the Turkic origin of the Turkish nation, remains still understudied basically. It is noteworthy that he stood at the foundations of the official concept of national history after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Akçura succeeded to include (pre-)modern history of the Turkic peoples of Eurasia in the Thesis on Turkish History (see: [Türk Tarihinin Ana Hatları, 1930]), which became the basis of the official historiography in Republican Turkey. As is known, M. K. Ataturk noticed him and introduced him into the group of the new Turkish political elite charged to formulate the official republican historical and educational discourse in the early 1930s. It was because of Akçura’s works, that history of the Turks began to be studied and taught in Republican Turkey.

Professional Training in the Field of Information, Library and Archival Affairs at Mariupol State University: Twenty Years of Experience

The purpose of the work is to summarise the experience of training specialists in the field of "Archival Affairs and Information Activities" within the specialty of "Document Studies and Information Activities" at Mariupol State University. The goal is to analyse the effectiveness of the programme, identify the needs for improving the curriculum, and determine the problems faced by students and faculty during the process of mastering this specialisation. The research methodology is based on the principles of scientific objectivity and systematic approach. Historical methods have been applied to establish events relevant to the development of professional training in document studies at Mariupol State University, along with other general scientific methods such as analysis, synthesis, and content analysis of the department's reports. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the generalisation of the history and current state of training professionals in the field of information, library, and archival affairs at Mariupol State University. Conclusions. The training of specialists in the field of "Information, Library, and Archival Affairs" at Mariupol State University takes into account the 20 years of experience of the Information Activities Department, which continues to function in a highly competitive environment due to temporary relocation to Kyiv. Therefore, the dynamics of the development of professional training in document studies at MSU depends on the competitiveness of the proposed educational programmes. The market demand for graduates of the department, the volume and quality of training, the ability to implement a new strategy of internationalisation of MSU, including the introduction of the unique educational and professional programme "Management of Documentation Processes and Development of the Digital Community" from 2023, indicate the potential for further improvement of professional training for document studies. In the foreseeable future, document studies specialists will play an important role in the reintegration of the Mariupol territorial community.

We and Bobby Lee

In 2020, a grassroots movement emerged in San Angelo, Texas, with the goal of changing the name of Robert E. Lee Middle School. This movement reflected larger national trends in removing Confederate statues and wrestling with the legacy of the Confederacy. Two professors of history at a regional university decided to participate in the renaming effort. This experience taught them the important role historians can and should play in debates over historical memory and commemoration, especially as allies to movements led by nonacademic community members. Moreover, it offers insights on a significant set of questions for US public historians: What is the role of the professional historian in local debates—contentious school board meetings in particular—that hinge on misconceptions of the American past? In particularly, how can academics use their expertise to combat the supremacy of Lost Cause narratives in the American South? Access to information, often locked behind paywalls, and professional credibility proved to be areas where historians can be of most use. In addition, the authors’ experience demonstrates the vital role local institutions play in the lives of their communities.

Performing Northern Ireland after Brexit: Stephen Rea in David Ireland’s Cyprus Avenue and Clare Dwyer Hogg’s Hard Border

If all national identity is performative, the Northern Irish national identity offers a particularly pronounced model of this performative instability. Such precarity was emphasized when the 2016 UK EU ‘Brexit’ referendum raised contentious questions over Northern Irish citizenship. This article explores how two recent Northern Irish performance pieces, David Ireland’s Cyprus Avenue (2016) and Clare Dwyer Hogg’s Hard Border (2018), probe the unsettled plurality of Northern Irish national identity through the casting of actor Stephen Rea in their respective central roles. Rea’s own personal and professional history, as a figure inflected in the public mind with an extreme range of potential ‘Northern Irish identities’, encapsulates the shifting boundaries of an unstable, performative spectrum of ethno-national selfhood. This article explores how the lingering memories of Rea’s on- and offstage past offer a fittingly multilayered, even contradictory, representation of contemporary Northern Irish identity.

On Engaging with the Indian Ocean, Africa, and History: A Conversation with Edward A. Alpers

In January 2022, Jeremy Prestholdt communicated with Edward A. Alpers, author, editor, and coeditor of many books and Research Professor and Emeritus Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles. Communicating by email, in this interview Alpers discussed his career and scholarly trajectory, his books Ivory and Slaves in East Central Africa and The Indian Ocean in World History, many of his pathbreaking articles, and his current research.

Digital Health Secondary Prevention Using Co-Design Procedures: Focus Group Study With Health Care Providers and Patients With Myocardial Infarction.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a debilitating condition and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Digital health is a promising approach for delivering secondary prevention to support patients with a history of MI and for reducing risk factors that can lead to a future event. However, its potential can only be fulfilled when the technology meets the needs of the end users who will be interacting with this secondary prevention. We aimed to gauge the opinions of patients with a history of MI and health professionals concerning the functions, features, and characteristics of a digital health solution to support post-MI care. Our approach aligned with the gold standard participatory co-design procedures enabling progressive refinement of feedback via exploratory, confirmatory, and prototype-assisted feedback from participants. Patients with a history of MI and health professionals from Australia attended focus groups over a videoconference system. We engaged with 38 participants across 3 rounds of focus groups using an iterative co-design approach. Round 1 included 8 participants (4 patients and 4 health professionals), round 2 included 24 participants (11 patients and 13 health professionals), and round 3 included 22 participants (14 patients and 8 health professionals). Participants highlighted the potential of digital health in addressing the unmet needs of post-MI care. Both patients with a history of MI and health professionals agreed that mental health is a key concern in post-MI care that requires further support. Participants agreed that family members can be used to support postdischarge care and require support from the health care team. Participants agreed that incorporating simple games with a points system can increase long-term engagement. However, patients with a history of MI emphasized a lack of support from their health care team, family, and community more strongly than health professionals. They also expressed some openness to using artificial intelligence, whereas health professionals expressed that users should not be aware of artificial intelligence use. These results provide valuable insights into the development of digital health secondary preventions aimed at supporting patients with a history of MI. Future research can implement a pilot study in the population with MI to trial these recommendations in a real-world setting.

MILESTONES IN SLOVENIAN NURSING EDUCATION: A LOOK BACK AT KEY EVENTS AND THEIR IMPACT OVERVIEW

Background: Nursing education has undergone many changes over the years, adapting to new health, social and technological challenges. During those changes, nursing as a profession stayed true to its values, namely providing competent, compassioned, and committed care to patients, their loved ones, and the community. Aim: The aim was to explore the evolution of nursing education in Slovenia, emphasizing the key moments and individuals that have helped shape the education and profession itself. Methods: Descriptive and comparative method was used. The sources were searched through the COBISS system. There was no limitation regarding language, publishing year, or type of publication. Results: Nursing education in Slovenia has come a long way since its formal establishment in 1923, evolving from a one-year to a comprehensive three-year program. With the high demand for healthcare workers after World War II, an upper secondary educational program was introduced, and later in 1951, a college nursing degree program was established. The college eventually merged with other healthcare-related colleges and became an integral part of the University of Ljubljana in 1976. With the introduction of professional bachelor’s degree programs and alignment with EU directives and the Bologna reform, nurses can pursue 2nd-cycle master studies (y. 2007) and 3rd-cycle doctoral programs (y. 2016), creating a complete vertical in nursing education. Discussion and Conclusion: Nursing in Slovenia has a rich educational and professional history, although it did not follow Nightingale’s initiative for nursing development. While the long-term goal of achieving a doctoral degree in nursing has been achieved, new challenges have emerged. These challenges include developing specialist and advanced practice nursing that are responsive to contemporary challenges and trends in the EU and global health.

Ancient history: A postcolonial view on Roman identity

Ancient history: A postcolonial view on Roman identity Prof Dr Felix K Maier, Professor for Ancient History at University of Zurich, explores the paradoxical dynamics of different identities in the multicultural Roman Empire. My history research project analyses the dynamics of different identities in the Roman Empire from around 50-150 AD. The Roman Empire is generally considered a ‘story of a success’ concerning the integration of the conquered peoples. The Romans surpassed other empires regarding temporal extension and maintained their power with little military presence. However, it was not only open rebellions that could have threatened Roman domination; it was also – and quite paradoxically – the successful integration of conquered peoples. This had to do with a couple of interdependent aspects.

About the Historian’s Portrait Created by Historians [Review: Kabytov P.S., Fedorova N.A. Professor Ivan Mikhailovich Ionenko: His Personality and Time. A Monograph. Samara, Samar. Gumanit. Akad., 2023. 144 p. (In Russian)

Abstract This article reviews P.S. Kabytov and N.A. Fedorova’s monograph on the life and work of Professor I.M. Ionenko. Both authors were supervised by I.M. Ionenko as students and postgraduate students. They share what they know about his life experience, his development as a historian and lecturer, and his involvement in public activities. The personality of I.M. Ionenko, the esteemed teacher and true mentor who encouraged his students to take a professional approach to discover the historical truth, is considered in the context of the times in which he lived and worked. He believed that the success of teaching the younger generation of historians depends not only on how they learn to use certain tools in their research but also on how strong the bond is between the students and their teacher. The authors managed to vividly describe the natural charm of I.M. Ionenko as a person. He taught them to extract information correctly, to fit it into the system of moral coordinates, as well as to avoid attributing every historical problem to ideology and politics. I.O. Ionenko adhered to the following two principles: “a historian must first of all have a conscience” and “without the truth of history there is no truth of life.” The monograph is primarily helpful for young people who want to become professional historians.

Problémom nie sú muži, ale ľudia

The concepts of gender, gender role, gender identity, gender stereotypes, and the relationships between them are explained in the introduction of the study. The main topic is focused on essays about the relationship between masculinity and femininity, its genesis, and consequences in the contemporary life authored by the professor of ancient history at the University of Cambridge Mary Beard, the French writer Michel Houellebecq, and Jessa Crispin, the editor-in-chief of Bookslut. The essays resolve male-female power relations differently. Mary Beard offers the concept of over-gender, i.e. universality freed from the conditioning of gender identity.Michel Houellebecq dreams about human cloning and creating a new nature based on a single law, which is the moral law. Jessa Crispin prefers the world of equality based on humanity, built on the ruins of patriarchy, and shared by all people without distinction.

Studia medyczne Jana Jaśkiewicza na Uniwersytecie Wiedeńskim (1766/1767–1775)

Jan Jaśkiewicz’s Medical Studies at the University of Vienna (1766/1767–1775) During the Age of Enlightenment, many Poles pursued medical studies at various European universities. One of them was Jan Dominik Piotr Jaśkiewicz. Born on 6 July 1749 in Lviv to an Armenian family, he moved to Vienna in the late 1760s to study medicine at the university under the supervision of renowned professors: Anton de Haën, Heinrich Johann Nepomuk von Crantz, Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin, and others. Jaśkiewicz graduated in 1775 with a Doctor of Medicine degree, based on the thesis titled “Dissertatio inauguralis medica sistens pharmaca regni vegetabilis”, in which he provided a list, description, and healing properties of some plant species, arranged according to the systematics of Carl von Linnè (Linnaeus). Through his dissertation, Jaśkiewicz popularized in Poland the views of the Viennese medical school, among others, on the medical use of digitalis. For some time he remained in Vienna, attempting to secure a suitable position. Between 1780 and 1783, Jaśkiewicz expanded his knowledge of nature through travels to Italy, Germany, and France. After presenting his mineralogical observations in Paris, Jaśkiewicz was appointed as a correspondent member of the Paris Academy of Sciences. It was during this time in Paris that Jaśkiewicz met Jan Śniadecki, who later became his friend, colleague, and patient. Subsequently, Hugo Kołłątaj appointed Jaśkiewicz as a professor of natural history and chemistry at the Crown’s Main School in Kraków (Jagiellonian University). He began his lectures in Kraków on 1 October 1783. It should be emphasized that Jaśkiewicz laid the foundations for Polish scientific vocabulary. He also played a crucial role in establishing a chemical laboratory and organizing a botanical garden and a cabinet of natural history. In February 1783, Jaśkiewicz took on the position of a hospital physician (director) at the St. Barbara Academic Hospital, where he focused on organizing the hospital’s finances and management. Around the same time, he declined additional remuneration for this role. In 1787, Jaśkiewicz assumed the duties of the house physician for the Wielopolski margrave in Pińczów. Jaśkiewicz died in Kraków on 14 November 1809. Throughout his life, he was an active physician and performed his medical career independently of other duties. Jaśkiewicz gained considerable recognition and popularity for his achievements in the medical field.

МОРОЗОВСКАЯ БОЛЬНИЦА: 120 ЛЕТ ИСТОРИИ, КОТОРАЯ ПИШЕТСЯ НА НАШИХ ГЛАЗАХ

“Turning the complicated problems into the new opportunities and constantly maintaining the confidence in the future” - these are the principles the Morozov Children’s Hospital and its entire large team approach the celebration of its 120th anniversary with. The history of the Morozov Children’s Hospital is a history of the constant movement forward, a history of the highest professionalism and courage of its staff, a history of achievements and victories. As of today, the Morozov Children’s Hospital is one of the largest multidisciplinary hospitals not only in Moscow, but also overall Russia, where patients expect and get the best professional experience coupled with the effective solutions of their health problems with the use of both modern and innovative technologies. “Compassion and Professionalism,” which was a motto for years, sounds more relevant now than ever.

Between What Was and What Will Be: Big History Insights from the Philippines

Being a Philosophy professor for eighteen years and then a Big History professor for three, I fell in love with Philosophy long before I fell in love with Big History. But, similar to St. Augustine’s attribution of his relationship with God, I also say: ‘Late have I loved thee, beauty so ancient yet so new.’ This exciting love affair with Philosophy and Big History is a marriage that came along and brought forth many splendid realizations. It introduced a dimension that existed from the very start but was never really pondered upon nor ventured into simply because they were never seen as part of a coherent whole. I used to be intimidated with numbers and chemistry but, suddenly took a different liking, once I was re-introduced to them in a big-history way.

Lymphoma Accompanyıng Pneumoconıosıs; Case Report

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematological malignancy, and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histological type. A 56-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of shortness of breath and fatigue for 1 month. It was learned in his professional history that he had been a dental technician for 30 years. He was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in 2020 and his chest radiograph was q/t 3/3 according to the International Labor Organization (ILO) International Classification of pneumoconiosis radiographs. Laboratory examinations revealed an increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR 50 mm/h) and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH 368 IU/L) levels. On thoracic computed tomography (CT), enlarged lymph nodes and lymphadenopathies (LAP) with local conglomeration and calcifications in the mediastinal, subcarinal and bilateral hilar areas were seen. Widely disseminated inhomogeneous mass-like consolidation areas, including internal calcifications, extending from the hilum to the parenchyma in both lungs, were observed more prominently in the right middle zone. Diffuse interstitial thickenings, infiltrations and centrilobular nodular density increases in both lungs, nodular consolidated areas with recessed contours and nodules and ground glass densities were observed, especially in the left upper zone. In the lateral part of the left 5th rib, a heterogeneous soft tissue mass of approximately 12x5 cm, causing cortical destruction, invading the surrounding soft tissues and muscle planes, and containing internal cystic-necrotic components was observed. On abdominal CT, enlarged lymph nodes and LAPs, some of which contain calcifications, were observed in the abdomen. The pathology result was reported as Diffuse B-Cell Lymphoma in the patient who underwent transthoracic biopsy due to radiographic appearances that are not typical for PMF. Here, we presented a case of pneumoconiosis with occupational carcinogen exposure and presenting with lymphoma.

HISTORIAN D.I. ILOVAISKY IN SCHOOL PRACTICE

Russia has long been famous for the names of famous scientists, teachers who left a noticeable imprint in Russian history. A worthy place among them is occupied by D.I. Ilovaisky.
 
 The purpose of the study is to study the scientist’s creative heritage in the field of school historical education.
 
 Materials and methods. When working with historical works of D.I. Ilovaisky, as well as with his history textbooks for schoolchildren of different ages, both general scientific methods were used – analysis, synthesis, generalization, and special methods – historical-genetic, historical-comparative, which made it possible to objectively assess the contribution of a scientist and teacher to historical science.
 
 Study results. The main stages of D.I. Ilovaisky’s life path are analyzed as well as his formation as a professional historian, who proposed original, sometimes controversial theories that caused patchy responses in the historical community. The main historical works of the scientist were studied, in which the author substantiated in detail the so-called “Roksolan” theory of the ancient Russian state’s origin. The contribution of the scientist to the development of local lore is studied. The educational and methodological materials of D.I. Ilovaisky on history for schoolchildren are examined. The discussion among historians-practitioners about the textbooks of D.I. Ilovaisky is thoroughly considered. Special attention is paid to the disclosure of the scientist’s position on the role of historical education in school practice.
 
 Conclusions. Comprehensive and complex analysis of the activities carried out by D.I. Ilovaisky in the field of school historical education makes it possible to understand and realize the importance of history as a science and as an academic discipline in forming the civic consciousness of the younger generation.

Derrière le lutrin… le déséquilibre qui m’inspire

<p>This response piece engages in the conversation initiated by Maggie McDonnell and Teresa Strong-Wilson on professional identity. It ponders the question of my role as a college-level professor of art history. Whereas numerous academic institutions have started to decolonise curricula to promote diverse perspectives, certain students, believing multiculturalism applies to all across the board, show indifference in learning decolonised points of view. Here, I examine some of these challenges and the several sides of my role as teacher.</p>

Difficulties in applying augmented reality technology in teaching history from the point of view of subject teachers

The aim of the present research is to identify the difficulties of applying the technology of enhanced reality in teaching history from the standpoint of the teachers of the subject. A 20-paragraph survey measuring the most significant difficulties in applying the technology of enhanced reality in teaching has been built. The researcher applied the identification to a sample of history professors at the faculties of education and literature at Iraqi governmental and non-governmental universities, including 58 teachers. The research adopted the scoping descriptive approach, and the weight and weight of the weight were extracted to calculate the degree of difficulty in using the enhanced reality technique in teaching. The research found the following results: difficulties in applying the enhanced reality technique by history teachers; the most important of these was the sense of low importance of applying the enhanced reality technique in teaching; the lack of knowledge of using technical media from images, videos, and pamphlets; and the lack of lecture time with the density of the vocabulary. The researcher therefore recommends that the Ministry take decisions that will motivate teachers to use the technique as material and moral incentives, in addition to the need for universities to provide training courses, a comprehensive manual, and rooms equipped to use the enhanced reality technique for teaching.

Pulmoner Tromboembolinin Eşlik Ettiği Pnömokonyoz Olgusu

Pneumoconioses are parenchymal lung diseases caused by dust accumulation in the lungs and the resulting tissue reaction. A 75-year-old male patient presented with the complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath for 6 months. In his professional history, it was learned that when he was 18 years old, he worked in a lead mine blasting with dynamite for 4 months, and then worked in tunnel and road construction, blasting, sand screening and transportation for 3 months. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) International Classification of pneumoconiosis radiographs, the chest radiograph was r/q 2/2 + A2. In his history, it was learned that he applied to our hospital with the complaint of bloody sputum in 1982, open lung biopsy was performed for tuberculosis and malignancy, and the biopsy was reported as fibrotic lung tissue. We presented a case of pneumoconiosis presenting with bilateral pleural effusion accompanied by pulmonary thromboembolism.

Oromo Tarih Yazımının Bazı Yönleri ve Etiyopya Siyasi Yönelimleri (16-21. Yüzyıllar)

This article investigates the Oromo historiography vis-a-vis the Ethiopian political orientations, 16th-21st centuries. Oral and written sources and the researchers’ empirical knowledge have been analyzed qualitatively to produce this work. Ethiopian history has centered on the north, Semitic and elitist revolving around politics. For so long, Oromo historiography has been a neglected object though the Oromo are the largest ethnic group in the Horn of Africa. This study is thus undertaken to portray how far and in what way the Oromo have been studied historically. The study shows that social, economic, and cultural studies of the Ethiopian people have been neglected even after professional history was launched in Ethiopia in 1963. The Oromo historiography has not only been neglected but also distorted, prejudiced, and exposed to controversy. Recent studies however have been trying to redress these imbalances. This is however far from enough and popular history should be given more attention.
