By examining the personal journal of Marfa Solov’eva, one of the staff of Krasnoyarsk Local History Museum (Yenissei Province), the article aims to analyze some changes of everyday life at the beginning of the 1920s. Aged 33, Ms. Solov’eva found herself among the members of the Yenissei Province delegation sent to participate in the First All-Union Agriculture and Orchard Industry Exhibition in Moscow in 1923. She wrote down her personal experiences of travelling from Krasnoyarsk to Moscow. Given that anthropological shift has taken the lead in historical research, the materials of personal origin (like personal journals) provide an additional avenue to get firsthand information on how contemporaries interpreted the turning points in history. By focusing on the findings from the personal journal introduced for the first time the article investigates the transformations in early Soviet society at the grassroots level and from the point of view of a young representative of Siberian intelligentsia. The article demonstrates how day-to-day and leisure practices of those who took part in the trip were organized. Additionally, it considers the emotional sphere, which is missed to a greater extent by official sources. A mixture of interdisciplinary, systematic and sociocultural approaches and descriptive methods for interpreting sources has been adopted. Keywords: personal journal, everyday life, the intelligentsia, Siberia, the Yenissei province, the onset of NEP, the First All-Union Agriculture and Orchard Industry Exhibition in Moscow in 1923

This paper discusses an attempt to apply historical research directly to the development of a culture of human rights and democracy in Zimbabwe. The research concerns sensitive and controversial issues around sexuality, race, and nationalism that are important in and of themselves. What I would like to argue here, however, is that the method used to design and carry out the research project is at least as interesting. This holds true from the point of view of both professional historians like myself and community activists—two perspectives that are often difficult to reconcile in practice. In this project, “ivory tower” and “grassroots” are brought together in a mutually enriching relationship that offers an alternative model to the methods that currently predominate in the production of historical knowledge in southern Africa.Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ) is a non-government organization that was founded in 1990. It provides counseling, legal and other support services to men and women struggling with issues of sexuality. It also strives to promote a politics in Zimbabwe that would embrace sexual orientation as a human right. Toward the latter goal it has lobbied government for changes to current laws that discriminate against homosexuals and which expose gay men and women to extortion (so far, in vain). With somewhat more success, it has lobbied the police directly to raise awareness of the extortion issue. GALZ also publishes pamphlets, a newsletter, and other information designed to educate Zimbabweans in general about homosexuality and homophobia. Through these efforts it seeks to challenge popular stereotypes of homosexuals as Westernized perverts who spread diseases and corrupt children. One recent publication included detailed historical research that showed how homosexual practices—including loving and mutual homosexual relationships—have been indigenous to the country throughout recorded history, and probably from time immemorial.

AbstractPart of a larger research project aimed at performing the meta-theoretical analysis of the worldwide literature published on social representations theory (SRT), this article explores the state of art of the theory in the geocultural context of Asia, spatially and temporally, as well as from a conceptual, disciplinary, theoretical, empirical and thematic point of view. The Grid for MetaTheoretical Analysis was used on 194 sources, extracted from the So.Re.Com “A.S. de Rosa”@-library. Multi-step strategies of data analyses offer a diversified picture of findings: (a) descriptive statistics and geomapping with Tableau Desktop the bibliometric impact country by country; (b) structural multidimensional view of significant intersections between “meta-data” performing hierarchical clustering on the top of the multiple correspondence analysis. The three clusters detected reveal a shift from a more generic and applied tradition of research on SRT in 2002–2011 to a more theoretically oriented empirical research trend starting from 2011, identifying the scientific production anchored into different Asian regions (Indonesia, China and Israel) and mainly differentiated by the methodology employed. Results revealed that SRT was adopted due to its epistemological and empirical compatibilities with the purpose of creating an original Asian social psychology, interested in indigenous social phenomena specific to cultural backgrounds.

Background: Antimicrobial peptides play an important role in the innate immune system. Possessing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, antimicrobial peptides can quickly treat and kill various targets, including gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and tumor cells.Objective:An overview of the state of play with regard to the research trend of antimicrobial peptides in recent years and the situation of targeting tumor cells, and to make statistical analysis of the patents related to anticancer peptides published in recent years, is important both from toxicological and medical tumor therapy point of view.Methods:Based on the Science Citation Index Expanded version, the Derwent Innovation Index and Innography as data sources, the relevant literature and patents concerning antimicrobial peptides and anticancer peptides were analyzed through the Thomson Data Analyzer. Results of toxicologic and pharmacologic studies that brought to the development of patents for methods to novel tumor drugs were analyzed and sub-divided according to the specific synthesis of anticancer peptides.Results:The literature and patent search data show that the research and development of global antimicrobial peptides and anticancer peptides has been in an incremental mode. Growing patent evidence indicate that bioinformatics technology is a valuable strategy to modify, synthesize or recombine existing antimicrobial peptides to obtain tumor drugs with high activity, low toxicity and multiple targets.Conclusion:These findings may have important clinical implications for cancer treatment, especially in patients with conditions that are not currently treatable by other drugs, or that are resistant to existing cancer drugs.

The present study proposes a discourse-immanent view (following Wodak 2001) of political manifestos, examining them as sites for textually negotiating tensions and paradoxes, rather than focusing on their persuasive aspects. This approach is applied to the analysis of two founding documents of the Israeli religious settlers’ movement, where tensions between religious vision and actual politics have increased over time. Findings indicate that in the first manifesto (1974), discursive resources (temporality, point of view construction and terms of reference) are strategically used to contain tensions and maintain the movement’s dialectical vision of the relations between religion and politics. By contrast, the second manifesto (1980) exhibits simpler textual patterns which forgo this dialectical commitment, reflecting the eroding ability to textually reconcile ideological tensions as challenges to the movement’s vision grow. This is discussed as demonstrating the utility of discourse analysis for historical research in providing micro-evidence for the emergence of ideological change.

The aims of this article are, first, to provide a necessary background to investigate the discipline of history from the knowledge organization (KO) perspective, and secondly, to present, on selected examples, a way of analyzing knowledge organization systems (KOSs) from the point of view of the theory of history. The study includes a literature review and epistemological analysis. It provides a preliminary analysis of history in two selected universal Polish KOSs: KABA subject headings and the National Library of Poland Descriptors. The research is restricted to the high-level concept of historiographical metaphors coined by Wojciech Wrzosek and how they can be utilized in analyzing KOSs. The analysis of the structure of the KOSs and indexing practices of selected history books is performed. A particular emphasis is placed upon the requirements of classical and non-classical historiography in the context of KO. Although the knowledge about historiographical metaphors given by Wrzosek can be helpful for the analysis and improvement of KOSs, it seems that their broad character can provide the creators only with some general guidelines. Historical research is multidimensional, which is why the general remarks presented in this article need to be supplemented with in-depth theoretical and empirical analyses of historiography.

The article considers the possibilities of using information and computer technologies in historical research in Central Asia. Today, when there are discussions among Asian historians about a differentiated approach to the study of history and a desire to preserve the traditional directions of historical science that were laid down in the last century, there is an urgent need to use an interdisciplinary approach. The development of historical geoinformatics at the present stage can be identified that is continuously associated with the level of informatization of society, when information and communication technologies have become an integral part of everyday life, a change in the theory and methodology of historical science. Revolutionary changes in the theoretical development of an understanding of the essence of historical processes naturally led to a change in the methodology of history. The problem of information and computer technologies efficiency, in particular geoinformation, in scientific historical research, from a theoretical and methodological point of view is being posed and solved. Since the mid-1990s, the main emphasis has been shifted to the use of multimedia tools and methods and the use of global communications - the Internet. For the preservation, presentation of cultural heritage is an urgent task, the solution of which in a century of rapidly developing information and communication technologies is impossible without the use of new information technology.

De geschiedenis van het Vlaamse collaboratieverleden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog is vandaag reeds ruim gedocumenteerd: mythes zijn doorprikt en nuance is de nieuwe maatstaf om naar dat verleden te kijken. Toch leverde de lange overheersing van een vertekend beeld, voornamelijk met betrekking tot de naoorlogse repressie, een aantal iconische beelden op in het collectieve geheugen, die hier en daar nog de kop op durven te steken. Door de relatief late wetenschappelijke doorbraak in het polemische debat over de Tweede Wereldoorlog in België, loopt ons land noodgedwongen achter als het aankomt op nieuwe invalshoeken om dat verleden te benaderen. In onze buurlanden bestaat zo al enige tijd aandacht voor een belangrijke groep in de samenleving, die vaak tot op vandaag de gevolgen van dat verleden draagt: de nakomelingen. Niet alleen vanuit historische hoek, maar ook vanuit de literatuurwetenschappen bestaat er reeds een traditie aan onderzoek, dat nagaat hoe daders en slachtoffers van de Tweede Wereldoorlog hun herinneringen doorgeven aan latere generaties. Concepten als trauma- en schuldoverdracht zijn daarin heel populair. Geïnspireerd door het lopende historisch onderzoek van Koen Aerts (UGent), verkent ook deze bijdrage dat terrein. Aan de hand van zes autobiografisch geïnspireerde Vlaamse romans wordt daarbij resoluut de kaart van de interdisciplinariteit getrokken. Hoe gaan de protagonist-nakomelingen in de romans om met het verleden van hun ouders, welke effecten ondervinden ze ervan en vooral: dragen zij een overgedragen schuld met zich mee? Literatuur biedt immers een unieke blik op de werkelijkheid, en laat zelfs toe datgene bloot te leggen, wat men zelf niet wist. Het geeft met andere woorden ook een inkijk in het onderbewuste van zowel de samenleving als de personages uit het werk. Daarom leveren deze herinneringsproducten antwoorden op de vraag naar de relatie tussen een kind en zijn/haar (groot)ouder, die geen afbreuk doen aan de complexe realiteit van zowel dader- als ouderschap, maar een waardevol interpretatiekader vormen voor verder historisch onderzoek. “The name of my father weighs on me like a judgment”.Collaborators through the eyes of their children in the Flemish novel (1970-2000)Flemish collaboration during the Second World War has been researched profoundly and abundantly. Although historical research has exposed several myths and enabled a nuanced outlook onto the past, distorted memories have left Belgium with recurrent iconic images in its collective memory, especially when it comes to post-war punishment of Flemish collaborators. Only relatively recently scientific historical research is being heard within the polem-ical debate concerning new perspectives on Belgium’s wartime past. Neighbouring countries, unlike Belgium, were therefore able to incorporate descendants of collaborators far sooner into their research. As this social group often has been carrying traces of this past up until today, research focuses on how victims and perpetrators pass on their past to their children and grandchildren. This has not only been approached from a historical point of view, but in literary analysis as well. Transmission of trauma and guilt are popular concepts in this kind of research. Inspired by current historical research by Koen Aerts (UGent), this article offers an exploration of this field of research for Flanders. By discussing six autobiographical inspired Flemish novels, it takes on a fundamentally interdisciplinary approach. How do the protagonists in the novels deal with their parents’ past, which effects do they face and do they carry some form of transmitted guilt? Literature offers a unique perspective on reality, often exposing the subconscious not only of the characters within the work, but on a societal level as well. Accordingly, these products of memory offer insight into the relation between a child and its (grand)parent, taking into account the complex reality of being both a perpetrator and a parent. A discussion of these sources therefore provides a useful interpretative framework for further historical research.
