No Way Out? Post-Soviet Ukraine’s Memory Wars in Comparative Perspective
No full textOxana Shevel takes up the theme of historical memory as a central component of Ukrainian identity. Conceptions of history have become pivotal in understanding what it means to be Ukrainian, and in particular the nature of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. Shevel seeks to explain why these issues have become so polarized and what paths might be open to handling the politics of memory in a way that is less divisive. She sees potential in the fact that a significant minority of survey respondents favors a pluralism in which individuals are free to maintain different interpretations of historical events. She examines Spain’s successful efforts to overcome the divides in that country as a possible positive model for Ukraine.</p

Political affinities and maneuvering of Soviet Ukrainian political elites : Heorhii Shevel and the Ministry of Strange Affairs in the 1970s
No full textPublished online: 18 June 2019This article examines the goals and practices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ukraine in the 1970s, a Soviet institution that functioned as an ideological organ fighting against Ukrainian nationalists domestically and abroad. The central figure of this article is Heorhii Shevel who governed the Ministry from 1970 to 1980 and whose tactics, strategies, and practices reveal the existence of a distinct phenomenon in the Soviet Union—the nationally conscious political elite with double loyalties who, by action or inaction, expanded the space of nationalism in Ukraine. This research illuminates a paradox of pervasive Soviet power, which produced an institution that supported and reinforced Soviet “anti-nationalist” ideology, simultaneously creating an environment where heterodox views or sentiments were stimulated and nurtured

A method for determining when the superficial scalp arteries are the source of migraine pain
No full textIn some patients the pain of migraine originates in the extracranial cranial arteries. This article describes the location and a logical examination sequence of the vessels most frequently involved in migraine pain
Migration, Refugee Policy, and State Building in Postcommunist Europe
No full textWhy do similar postcommunist states respond differently to refugees? Why do some states privilege certain refugee groups, while other states do not? This book presents a theory to account for this puzzle, and it centers on the role of the politics of nation-building and of the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). A key finding of the book is that when the boundaries of a nation are contested (and thus there is no consensus on which group should receive preferential treatment in state policies), a political space for a receptive and nondiscriminatory refugee policy opens up. The book speaks to the broader questions of how nationalism matters after communism and under what conditions and through what mechanisms international actors can influence domestic polices. The analysis is based on extensive primary research the author conducted in four languages in the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Ukraine.</jats:p
TRPV1, CGRP and SP in scalp arteries of patients suffering from chronic migraine
No full textObjective: The transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 receptor (TRPV1) and the neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) appear to be differently involved in migraine pain. A role of neurovascular scalp structures is also suggested by several data. We performed a quantitative study of TRPV1-like immunoreactive (LI), CGRP-LI and SP-LI innervation of scalp arterial samples from patients affected with chronic migraine (CM).
Methods: Short segments of scalp arteries were collected from 17 participants undergoing vascular surgery for treatment-resistant CM and from 6 controls who underwent neurosurgery for various indications. The immunoreactivity of the arterial innervation to TRPV1, CGRP, SP and to the pan-neuronal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) was examined. Immunoreactive nerve fibres in vessel cross-sections were quantified by computerised image analysis.
Results: A significant increase of TRPV1-LI nerve fibres was found in the arterial wall from CM compared with control patients (p<0.05), while no significant difference was found for CGRP and SP.
Conclusions This study yields the first evidence for the existence of a TRPV1-LI innervation in human scalp arteries and provides the first quantitative assessment of the TRPV1-LI, CGRP-LI and SP-LI innervation of those vessels. The increase of TRPV1-LI periarterial nociceptive fibres of scalp arteries may represent, at least in some participants, a structural condition favouring CM (and possibly migraine), for example, by causing a higher sensitivity to algogenic agents
Intra-oral orthosis vs amitriptyline in chronic tension-type headache: a clinical and laser evoked potentials study
No full textСonflict Against Conflict: Sociological Analysis of World Problems
No full textThis article highlights the key issue of conflict in a globalizing world. Conflict is seen as a military and political means of wars, "hybrid conflicts", conflict clashes, confrontation.
The relevance of the article is to identify comparative methods of studying conflicts, as a manifestation of a new manifestation of the world community to counter.
The purpose of the study is to analyze conflicts as a form of mass conflict interaction in the globalization space. In the article, the author uses the methods of analytical, historical and comparative analysis, which shows the dynamics of the issue with past events and to the present, the method of synthesis studies military-political conflicts.
Based on the statistics of sociological research on this issue, we can conclude that world conflicts, which escalate into wars, are quickly implemented by non-standard conditions for counteracting conflicts. This could pose a potential threat to the peaceful coexistence of other countries, which are making every effort to help regulate the world's conflicts and global security
