This publication introduces a part of the original question notes written by the audience of Pankratova’s lectures. These lectures were given in Leningrad in March 1956 one month after the XXth Party Congress. The question notes are kept in Pankratova’s per­sonal collection in the Academy of Sciences Archive. The previous 2006 publication of these notes in the journal Questions of History, unfortunately, was not based the originals. The issues in that publication were artificially brought together under different headings in a way that does not allow for a reconstruction of any “first reaction”. The question notes presented here are the ones that Pankratova saved for herself. She selected these notes in order to understand the main questions of historical scholarship that she would have to answer in the near future as part of her preparation for a major conference dedi­cated to the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution, where Pankratova was listed as the chair of the organizing committee. This event could be the highest point of her career. It is hard to overestimate the significance of these notes. They are a unique source that it provides information about the attitude of the Soviet intelligentsia immediately after the Congress, and in fact is the first sociological survey of the Thaw, which had already begun by that time.

Abstract A python package, called Tomotok, focused on performing tomographic inversion of tokamak plasma radiation is being developed at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. It aims at providing multiple inversion algorithms with an user friendly interface. In order to enable and ease performing tomographic inversion on different devices worldwide, it is planned to publish this software as open source in the near future. In this contribution, the package structure allowing an easy implementation of various tokamak and diagnostic geometries is described and an overview of the package contents is given. Apart from inversion methods, overview of Tomotok auxiliary content is given. The package provides tools for creating simple synthetic diagnostic system. These can be used for testing and benchmarking the code. This includes tools for building geometry matrices that describe the view of detectors using single line of sight approximation and artificial data generators capable of creating simple or hollow Gaussian profiles. The implemented inversion methods cover the minimum Fisher regularisation, biorthogonal decomposition and linear algebraic methods. The implementation of each method is explained, example results obtained by inverting phantom models are presented and discussed. The computation speed of implemented algorithms is benchmarked and compared.

Detailed Picture

The authors of this contribution analyze the circumstances and the history of a popular play that was staged in the Soviet Union in 1927-1928. Titled Jumah Masjid, this play was devoted to the anti-colonial movement in India. A manuscript of the play, not indicating its title and the name of its author, was found in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences among the papers related to A.M. and L.A. Meerwarth, members of the First Russian Expedition to Ceylon and India (1914-1918). Later on, two copies of this play under the title The Jumah Masjid were found in the Russian Archive of Literature and Art and in the Museum of the Tovstonogov Grand Drama Theatre. The authors of this article use archival and published sources to analyze the reasons for writing and staging the play. They consider the image of India as portrayed by a Soviet playwright in conjunction with Indologists that served as consultants, and as seen by theater critics and by the audience (according to what the press reflected). Arguably, the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution in Russia in 1927 and the VI Congress of the Communist International (Comintern) in 1928 encouraged writing and staging the play. The detailed picture of the anti-colonial struggle in India that the play offered suggests that professional Indologists were consulted. At the same time the play is critical of the non-violent opposition encouraged by Mahatma Gandhi as well as the Indian National Congress and its political wing known as the Swaraj Party. The research demonstrates that the author of the play was G.S. Venetsianov, and his Indologist consultants were Alexander and Liudmila Meerwarth.

AbstractOn the occasion of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA) the Macedonian Society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation and Artificial Organs (MSNDTAO) organized a one day symposium titled: “Artificial Organs Today: From in vitro assessment to human therapies”, on September 28, 2007 at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The following sessions were held: Artificial Organs in Front of the Ageing Populations; System Requirements for Artificial Organ Technology; Tools for Artificial Organ Technology; Extracorporeal Blood Circuits in Organ Replacement Therapies; Treatment Options for Blood Purification Therapies. Presentation were delivered by: Horst Klinkmann, Germany; Jörg Vienken, Germany; Jens Hartmann, Austria; Udo Losert, Austria; Jan Wojcicki, Poland; Helmut Mann and Siegfried Stiller, Germany; Beat Walpoth, Switzerland; Juan F. del Cañizo, Spain; Borce Georgievski, Macedonia; Bernd Stegmayr, Sweden; Momir Polenakovic, Macedonia; Petar Kes, Croatia; Aleksandar Sikole, Macedonia; Wolfgang Ramlow, Germany; Dieter Falkenhagen, Austria. These meetings are significant for the application and development of the artificial organs in patients.

Historical Past

The aim of the present study is to examine the report “On controversial issues in the history of Buryat-Mongolia” made by V. F. Akhanianov at the Institute of History of the Communist Academy. Its focusis on thequestions raised during the discussions in Verkhneudinsk in July 1934 that Akhanianov’s report deals with. The source for the study is the transcript of the report, dated September 7, 1934,that is kept in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Results. The scholarpresented his criticisms of some participants’ opinions but, also, his own views of the issues on the agenda, such as feudalism in the historical context of Buryat-Mongolia, the Russian Empire’s colonial policy, Prussian or American ways of development, forms of exploitation that existed before 1917, October Revolution and Civil War in Buryat-Mongolia, and land reform. Also, the report includes a significant number of ideological statements, which was typical of public speeches in the mid-1930s. The report shows Akhanianov’s expertise in the history of Buryat-Mongolia and his genuine interest in restoring historical justice in the assessment of individual stages in the Republic’s development. In terms of the studies of the historical past of Buryatia, of relevance is also the discussion of the report that followed and the speaker’s concluding remarks. Conclusion.The material presented in the paper contributes to the database in the field of research and is of interest for further studies.

Role Activity

Abstract Committee of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Polish Academy of Sciences (KEiT PAN) has been acting on behalf of scientific community in Poland since 1960. The article presents structure, statutory tasks, and Committee activities on behalf of the integration and development of electronics and telecommunications sciences and technology in Poland. The Committee of Electronics and Telecommunications of PAS is all the time an active participant of research life in the country. However, this participation is different than it used to be, and all the time is subject to intense changes. The authors present critically the current status of the Committee, but also undertake an effort to newly define the role, activity and potential of KEiT PAN, in completely new conditions of doing research in Poland, Europe and worldwide, than it was at that time, when the PAS Committees were originally defined. The conclusions, upon possible acceptance by the national research and technical communities of electronics and telecommunications, may possibly serve to change and/or optimise the work of the Committee in the near future
