Writing the Stalin era : Sheila Fitzpatrick and Soviet historiography
\"This book weaves together elements of biography, historiography, and historical writing to explore the writings and legacy of Sheila Fitzpatrick, the University of Chicago's eminent scholar of Soviet history. It begins with essays that examine Fitzpatrick's contribution to her field and concludes with reminiscences about her life and career so far written by friends, family members, colleagues, and students. The heart of the book is a collection of original articles written by some of Fitzpatrick's students. These articles address subjects ranging from Kazakh resettlement under Stalin to the self-fashioning of scientists under Khrushchev, from state practices of terror to cultural and gender politics, showcasing both diverse and shared elements in the work of this scholar's protâegâes\"--Provided by publisher.

In Vivo Determination of Skin Absorption Coefficient in a Mexican Cohort
We determined the in vivo absorption coefficient (μa) for 82 test subjects, all classified as Fitzpatrick skin phototypes II, III, IV, and V. Measurements were conducted using the integrating-sphere technique on the dorsal and palmar surfaces of the hand and the forearm. The reflectance data obtained were processed using the Inverse Adding Doubling algorithm to calculate the absorption coefficient. The mean values for this parameter ranged from 0.0132 mm−1 to 0.1021 mm−1 at a central wavelength of 624 nm. It was found that these parameters may be grouped into a distinct cohort, paving the way for studies and the design of light-based diagnostics and treatments better suited to the population in Mexico and Latin America.

Remembering for the Future
This article problematises the State’s role in decreeing, overseeing and promulgating “official history” and explores the work of museum curators, historical filmmakers and public historians to expose the complexity that vitiates official narratives about that past, citing examples from around the world. Applying the dissonance in motives and values to Irish history, the article examines how attempts to control the narrative of the Troubles are symptomatic of a failure of recognition of the past and a recoil from the reconciliation process required for Ireland’s evolving future.

Decrypting the Potential of Nanotechnology-Based Approaches as Cutting-Edge for Management of Hyperpigmentation Disorder
The abundant synthesis and accretion of melanin inside skin can be caused by activation of melanogenic enzymes or increase in number of melanocytes. Melasma is defined as hyperpigmented bright or dark brown spots which are symmetrically distributed and have serrated and irregular borders. The three general categories of pigmentation pattern include centro facial pattern, malar pattern, and mandibular pattern. Exposure to UV rays, heat, use of cosmetics and photosensitizing drugs, female sex hormonal therapies, aberrant production of melanocyte stimulating hormone, and increasing aesthetic demands are factors which cause the development of melasma disease. This review gives a brief overview regarding the Fitzpatrick skin phototype classification system, life cycle of melanin, mechanism of action of anti-hyperpigmenting drugs, and existing pharmacotherapy strategies for the treatment of melasma. The objectives of this review are focused on role of cutting-edge nanotechnology-based strategies, such as lipid-based nanocarriers, i.e., lipid nanoparticles, microemulsions, nanoemulsions, liposomes, ethosomes, niosomes, transfersomes, aspasomes, invasomes penetration-enhancing vesicles; inorganic nanocarriers, i.e., gold nanoparticles and fullerenes; and polymer-based nanocarriers i.e., polymeric nanoparticles, polymerosomes, and polymeric micelles for the management of hyperpigmentation.
