120Th Anniversary

The article is devoted to the history of the Ufa Eye Hospital of the Ufa department for the blind people, which provided the necessary free ophthalmological and surgical care to patients with eye diseases. The lack of a special institution before the opening of the Hospital led to a large need for ophthalmic care. In view of the lack of proper attention to the problems of the blind and visually impaired on the part of the authorities and the public, there were difficulties in the work of the Hospital, which prevented its consistent development. However, by the mid- 20s of XX century the Ufa Eye Hospital was able to increase the number of people who got ophthalmological care. Key words: Ufa Eye Hospital, Ufa department of the Guardianship for blind people of Empress Maria Aleksandrovna, ophthalmological care, A. A. Belskiy.

- The article addresses the issue of the relation between historiography and the political debate. It examines the historiographic works concerning the events which lead to the emergence of the State of Israel between 1947 and 1949 as one of the key-periods in the history of the contemporary Middle East. In particular, the analysis focuses on the debate originating in the mid 1980s on the revision of traditional Israeli historiography undertaken by the so-called ‘New Historians', of whom Benny Morris is a leading representative. By drawing on the notion of the ‘public use of history, the author reverses the perspective, showing how the academic debate itself is characterised by strongly polemical aspects. The historiographic research on 1948, to which the works of the New Historians provide the latest significant contribution in terms of analysis of new sources, constitutes a firmer knowledge than the tones of the debate would suggest. Key words: public use of history, Israel, New Israeli Historians, first Arab-Israeli war, Palestine, Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Public attitudes toward blindness are shaped by limited contacts with visually impaired people and unrealistic portrayals of blind people in the media. These attitudes hamper the integration of blind and visually impaired persons in society. Professionals in the field need ‘to work together to develop national and local public education programs to change stereotyped thinking.

Malang Regency has 33 districts. Jabung sub-district is one of the regions in Malang Regency. Jabung village is located in Jabung sub-district, has a population of 9,224 people and an area of 705.78 ha. The number of family heads or families is 2564 with an average family member of 4 people per family. The Jabung Village development index is 0.656 which includes a developing classification. This means that Jabung Village is a village that has village potentials that need to be developed and need real touch and contribution.The conditions that have occurred in Jabug Village for activists in Malang masks are the lack of educational infrastructure and the lack of efforts to preserve the art of Malang masks. This is indicated by the small number of poor mask activists at a young age. Besides, the problem faced by partners in maintaining the Malangan Mask art as an art of ancestral heritage is the inclusion of Westernization culture that has engulfed Indonesia as globalization is expanding resulting in the less desirable local culture. This also had an impact on the Malangan Mask art which was increasingly abandoned by the public. And also the problem of partners is that there are no poor mask educative media to introduce mask characters to visitors, or students who want to learn mask characters.The solution to the problem that occurs in mask craftsmen is by giving lectures about the preservation of the malangan mask art is the absence of science and technology-based educational media for the community (IBM) to preserve and preserve the history of the poor art character. The outcome of the use of Science and Technology for the Community (IBM) is the creation of an e-catalog is a media catalog book in electronic form that makes it easy for everyone to read information through smartphones or other electronic media. Making the malangan mask E-catalog will contain the history and character of the mask as well as souvenir information from the malangan mask art in Jabung village. Key words: Mask Village; Jabung Village; preservatione; science and technology
