Ленінська система влади і власності в окупованій Україні. 1917-1923 рр. / Lenin's System of Power and Property in Occupied Ukraine. 1917-1923
1917-1923рр. / Lenin s System of Power and Property in Occupied Ukraine. 1917-1923 Kyjiv, Akademperiodyka 2024, 548 s., ISBN 978-966-360-508-1. Lze jich zmínit několik: 1) Lenin svým marxistickým jazykem nemyslel společnost a třídu, ale stát pod vedením avantgardy ruské bolševické strany; 2) Lenin používal frazeologii revolučního marxismu k vybudování svého systému moci a vlastnictví; 3) Leninova vymyšlená dvojsečná struktura státnosti umožnila budovat národnostní republiky jako formálně nezávislé nebo svazové státy pouze v podřízenosti stranické vertikále moci. Nejen, že Kulčyckyj poměrně často cituje ze svých starších monografií, ale také se při své analýze opírá o identické dokumenty s totožnou paginací, čímž tak logicky „recykluje\" a zužitkovává své předchozí interpretace do rámce teorie totalitarismu (např. s. 328-354, passim).13 Příkladem může být mimo jiné podkapitola „Rusko-ukrajinská dohoda ze dne 28. prosince 1920\", v níž autor rozebírá okolnosti podpisu tzv. Závěrem lze konstatovat, že Kulčyckého monografie velmi kriticky, kvalitně a obsáhle analyzuje podstatu a mechanismy leninské moci a vlastnictví, ale také poukazuje na destruktivní důsledky pro ukrajinskou společnost. „Vedlejším\" cílem publikace je zároveň zakomponovat interpretační rámce angloamerických sovětologů (zejména Richarda Pipese a Martina Malii) do ukrajinské historiografie meziválečné Ukrajiny.

P2-135 Antropometric comparisons in type 2 diabetes patients, related to populations with different social experience
According to data from five full regional diabetes registers, prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Ukraine among persons over 39 years of age is higher for women. The two regions (cluster 1) joined the USSR after 1939 and their population was not exposed to the famine that occurred in the middle of 1930s and which was significant in other three regions (cluster 2). Height and Body Mass Index (BMI) were assessed according to individual patient data (n=94 460). Wilcoxon test was used to compare height (cm) and BMI (kg/m2) values in patients, born from 1925 to 1955 in cluster 1 (n=16 550) and cluster 2 (n=46 853). In cluster 2, the height for women was lower than in cluster 1: 162.37 (162.31–162.42) and 163.13 (163.04–163.23) cm respectively, mean (95% CI), p<0.001, whereas BMI was higher: 29.13 (29.09 to 29.17) and 28.64 (28.57 to 28.71) kg/m2, p<0.001. Height for men did not differ: 171.75 (171.66 to 171.84) and 171.83 (171.7 to 171.95) cm in cluster 2 and 1, BMI was higher: 27.83 (27.77 to 27.88) and 27.64 (27.56 to 27.72) kg/m2 in cluster 2 and 1 respectively, p=0.007. However, out of 31 yearly birth groups (YBGs) this was true for 23 YBGs in females and only for 4 YBGs in males. Height and BMI variations in T2D populations affect mainly women. The reason for differences between clusters could be the result of the genotype selection due to better survival of overweight persons under the condition of starvation. “Thrifty genotype” contamination can be one of the reasons of higher T2D prevalence in Ukrainian women population.

Victims of Ireland's Great Famine
With one million dead, and just as many forced to emigrate, the Irish Famine (1845-52) is among the worst health calamities in history. In 2006, archaeologists discovered a mass burial containing the remains of nearly 1,000 Kilkenny Union workhouse inmates. In the first bioarchaeological study of Great Famine victims, Jonny Geber uses skeletal analysis to tell the story of how and why the Irish Famine decimated the lowest levels of nineteenth century society.
By examining the physical conditions of the inmates that might have contributed to their institutionalization, as well as to the resulting health consequences, Geber sheds new and unprecedented light on Ireland's Great Hunger.
