Historian Militsa Nechkina and the Cultural and Intellectual Revolution
Get PDFThe first third of the 20th century was the time of cultural-intellectual and scientific revolution, whose essence concerned the development of so-called modernist trends (symbolism, futurism, etc.) and the transition to a non-classical model of science. A novice historian Milica Vasilyevna Nechkina matured in these circumstances. The article shows that her intellectual development was significantly influenced by the philosophy of Freud, the theory of psychoanalysis and the scientific theories of V. I. Vernadsky and Einstein. One of Nechkina’s aspirations was an interdisciplinary synthesis of the Humanities and natural Sciences. At the same time, in the spirit of the time, she recognized the possibility of the synthesis of science and art. Nechkina was greatly impressed by the book “Essays on the theory of historical knowledge” by R. Vipper, which justified the empiricist view of historical knowledge. She agreed with the view that historical knowledge is constructed by the researcher. The article especially emphasizes Nechkina’s interest in psychoanalysis, which was her method of research, including her own inner life. A small essay by Nechkina “About love, revolution, green lamp…”, in which psychoanalysis is applied to comprehending one’s place in the world, is examined in the article. The attitude of Nechkina to some representatives of the Marxist trend is considered separately. The author comes to the conclusion that the rich cultural and intellectual background became a breeding ground for the formation of a complex theoretical and methodological position, which can be perceived as modernist. At the same time, Nechkina did not deny traditional historiographical approaches. It is stressed that “psychologism”, humanitarian synthesis characteristic of her later scholarly work was the heritage of cultural and intellectual revolution, against whose background Nechkina emerged as a historian. The study was carried out on the basis of the sources of personal origin, including materials from the personal fund of M. V. Nechkina in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences previously not introduced into the scholarship

Application of biofilm film array blood colture identification panel for rapid identification of the causative agents of ventilator associated pneumonia
No full textObjective: To evaluate the ability of the BioFire FilmArray Blood Culture Identification (BCID) panel to rapidly detect pathogens producing late-onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a severe infection often produced by Gram-negative bacteria. These microorganisms are frequently multidrug resistant and typically require broad-spectrum empiric treatment. Methods: In the context of an international multicentre clinical trial (MagicBullet), respiratory samples were collected at the time of suspicion of VAP from 165 patients in 32 participating hospitals in Spain, Greece and Italy. Microorganisms were identified using the BCID panel and compared with results obtained by conventional microbiologic techniques. Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most commonly identified species, representing 54.7% (70/128) of microorganisms. The BCID panel showed high global specificity (98.1%; 95% confidence interval, 96–100) and negative predictive values (96.6%) and a global sensitivity and positive predictive value of 78.6% (95% confidence interval, 70–88) and 87.3%, respectively, for these microorganisms. Importantly, the BCID panel provided results in only 1 hour directly from respiratory samples with minimal sample processing times. Conclusions: The BCID panel may have clinical utility in rapidly ruling out microorganisms causing VAP, specifically multidrug-resistant Gram-negative species. This could facilitate the optimization of empiric treatment
