First Job in the Profession I Trained For

Редакция «Исторического вестника» обратилась ко мне с предложением опубликовать на страницах своего специального номера, материал посвященный мемуарной проблематике. Считая, что для читателей журнала будут иметь значение воспоминания о работе редакций исторических журналов нашей страны, предлагаю свои заметки. События, о которых пойдет речь в данном очерке, происходили в 70–80-х гг. прошлого века и отстают от нас сегодняшних уже на 35–50 лет. Многие мои учителя и старшие коллеги, к сожалению, уже ушли от нас в мир иной… Кардинально изменилось и продолжает меняться в жизни редакций периодических исторических изданий очень и очень многое. Некоторые явления и процессы, поступки участников тех событий трудно даже и представить современному молодому читателю… Тем не менее автор считает своим долгом историка воссоздавать картину прошлого, не приукрашивая и ничего не замалчивая, а также по возможности сохранить историческую память о тех своих учителях и коллегах, с которыми свела его судьба. Смею надеяться, что мои скромные усилия добавят некоторые живые штрихи к Вечной памяти об этих людях, хранящейся в десятках и даже в сотнях книжек журнала «История СССР», стоящих на полках библиотек в самых разных уголках мира. The editorial board of the Historical Reporter suggested that I should publish some memoirs for the special edition of the magazine. Believing that the magazine's readers might be interested in how the editorial boards of history magazines operated in our country in the past, I decided to publish my notes. The events described in this piece took place in the 1970s–1980s, i.e. 35–50 years ago. A lot of my mentors and older colleagues have unfortunately passed away… A lot has changed and continues to change in how the editorial staff of history magazines operates. Younger readers might find it nearly impossible to imagine some of the processes, phenomena, and actions that happened in those days... Nevertheless, I believe it is my duty as a historian to relay the past as it happened, without embellishing or holding back anything, as well as to talk about my mentors and colleagues that I got to work with. It is my earnest hope that my humble work will bring to life the people behind the hundreds of the History of the USSR issues sitting on library shelves all over the world.

Governance Sensitivities and the Politics of Translation: Rethinking the Colonisation of the Shuar of Ecuador's Amazonian South-East

The article analyses two delegated governance projects carried out in Ecuador's Amazonian south-east in the twentieth century. In collaboration with the military and public institutions, two Catholic missions, the Salesian and the Franciscan, were central actors in the colonising of an area inhabited by the Shuar. Considering the wider historical and ethnographic regional context and focusing on practices of cultural translation and territorial politics, I discuss the two missions’ divergent governance sensitivities vis-à-vis the Shuar. ‘Governance sensitivities’ refers in this context to the colonial actors’ capability to recognise colonised subjects as culturally distinct. I combine new empirical material from the historical archive of the Franciscans in Zamora with secondary sources in order to analyse how differences between the two missions’ sensitivity and insensitivity to Shuar otherness became especially prevalent in the 1960s and 70s. The divergent ways the Salesians and Franciscans perceived the Shuar colonial subject had consequences for how they engaged in the protection of Shuar land and for how they contributed to facilitating or holding back indigenous political organisation.

Fattening indicators of young rabbits when feeding Prebiolact-Kr

Measures to increase production are used to address the issue of providing the population with food. During the peak of the industry (1975–1985), Ukraine annually produced 120–165 thousand tons of rabbit meat, 30–45 million skins, and its share in world rabbit production reached 8 %. In the national volume of meat production, the share of highly dietary rabbit accounted for 8–10 %. Rabbit breeding in Ukraine was a very lucrative industry, which employed more than 600 thousand rabbit breeders. However, in recent years, rabbit breeding has declined due to the lack of modern scientific developments on the issues of complete feeding, rabbit keeping technology, low level of breeding and veterinary support. The development of the industry and the lack of coordinating bodies, both in the center and on the ground, are holding back. At present, the rabbit population of Ukraine is 97–98 % concentrated in individual farms and is 1.2–1.3 million breeding and repair livestock, and the rest in farms and breeding entities of various forms of ownership and management. According to the results of state certification, the breeding base of the industry in Ukraine today consists of 1 breeding plant and 7 breeding breeders of rabbit breeds. For feeding young rabbits used complete ration granular feed, the structure of which had different prebiotic content: I control group – the drug was not received, 2 experimental – 1.5, 3 – 2.0, 4 – 2.5 g/goal. per day. The studies were conducted on four groups of young rabbits, selected on the principle of groups of analogues, 25 heads in each. Thus, the total amount of feed increased from 80 g/goal. per day (35–41 days), up to 100 g (42–48 days), 120 g (49–55 days), up to 140 g (56–62 days), up to 160 g (63–69 days) up to 180 g (70–76 days). Feeding of young rabbits when reared for meat Prebiolact-Kr in animals of the second group at 43.1 g, the third 44.6 g and 45.0 g. The use of Prebiolact-Kr in the feeding of young rabbits when fed meat contributes to an increase in fattening performance, which may be the basis for the practical application of this supplement. Perebiolakt-KR showed the best results in feeding fattening and repair young animals at a dose of 2.0 g/goal per day.

Visions of Future Warfare in Russian Military Publications

The article discusses visions of future warfare articulated in recent Russian military publications. There seems to be agreement among Russian scholars that future war will be triggered by Western attempts to promote Western political and economic interests while holding back Russia's resurgence as a global power. The future war with the West is viewed as inevitable in one form or another, whether it is subversion and local wars or large-scale conventional war. While the danger of conventional war has declined, according to several scholars, the West is understood to have a wide range of non-kinetic means at its disposal that threaten Russia. In order to withstand future dangers, Russia has to be able to meet a large number of kinetic and non-kinetic threats at home and abroad.

Perceived unknowns about gridless water, sanitation and energy services

This SEI report outlines issues that stakeholders in water, sanitation and energy sectors believe are holding back wider uptake of gridless technologies that have potential to extend access to needed services worldwide.

The Need for Data Standards and Implementation Policies to Integrate CGM Data into the Electronic Health Record

The current lack of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data integration into the electronic health record (EHR) is holding back the use of this wearable technology for patient-generated health data (PGHD). This failure to integrate with other healthcare data inside the EHR disrupts workflows, removes the data from critical patient context, and overall makes the CGM data less useful than it might otherwise be. Many healthcare organizations (HCOs) are either struggling with or delaying designing and implementing CGM data integrations. In this article, the current status of CGM integration is reviewed, goals for integration are proposed, and a consensus plan to engage key stakeholders to facilitate integration is presented.

Ukrainian experience in implementation of the flexible provisions of the TRIPS Agreement in the context of European integration and the pandemic

Keywords: intellectual property, human rights, patients' rights, pharmaceutical nationalism,protectionism, vaccines, generics, COVID-19 The article concerns the analysis of global trends in theparadigm of intellectual property rights on the objects used in the diagnosis, preventionand treatment of COVID-19. The experience of the implementation of pharmaceuticalnationalism policies provided by the EU, Canada and Israel are presented in the article.The authors provide the legal backgrounds of the need for Ukraine to be a co-sponsor ofthe IP waivers proposals, which are submitted to the TRIPS Council by some membersof the WTO. The authors stress the need for Ukraine to use the historic opportunity forthe development of the national pharmaceutical industry, which would contribute tothe interests of the domestic patient, and make proposals for the necessary changes tonational legislation.The authors also stressed the position of the governments of Germany and France.Thus, in Germany there is the Law on Governmental Use of Patented Inventions duringa Pandemic. The law provides, inter alia, for amendments to the Patent Law, accordingto which the Federal Ministry of Health has the right to authorize the use of relevantpatents to ensure the production and supply of pharmaceuticals or medical devices.In 2020, France adopted the Emergency Law № 2020-290 to combat theCOVID-19 epidemic, which introduced Article 3131 15 of the French Public HealthCode. This rule authorizes the Prime Minister to issue orders to recover or seize allgoods and services necessary to combat the disaster, to temporarily control the price ofproducts and, if necessary, to take any measures to ensure that patients are providedwith appropriate drugs to deal with the disaster, related to health. It is useful forUkraine to use the experience of Canada in terms of facilitating negotiations with majorvaccine manufacturers to establish national drug production and in terms of developinglegislation in the field of compulsory licensing.It is obviously, voluntary licences from patent owners, which provide for the fulltransfer of technology, and not just patent disclosure, are the most effective tool for thenational production of biosimilars. However, international experience shows that pharmaceuticalcompanies are holding back the issuance of compulsory licences. Therefore,our government's biosecurity portfolio should include an effective tool for compulsory licensingor emergency use of biosimilars and generic drugs by the Government.
