AbstractThis paper argues that abductive reasoning has a central place in theorizing Health Professions Education. At the root of abduction lies a fundamental debate: How do we connect practice, which is always singular and unique, with theory, which describes the world in terms of rules, generalizations, and universals? While abduction was initially seen as the ‘poor cousin’ of deduction and induction, ultimately it has something important to tell us about the role of imagination and humility in theorizing Health Professions Education. It is that which makes theory possible, because it allows us to ask what might be the case and calls attention to the role of creative leaps in theory. Becoming aware of the abductive reasoning we already perform in our research allows us to take the role of imagination—something rarely associated with theory—seriously.

В статье рассматриваются советские и постсоветские традиции празднования Дня Победы, анализируется его роль в современном социокультурном пространстве России. Источниками для работы послужили материалы по Омскому региону - результаты опросов и личных наблюдений автора, данные средств массовой информации и официальных источников. Делается вывод о центральном месте Дня Победы в современном праздничном календаре и его важной роли в объединении российской нации на основе мемориализации общего исторического прошлого. Автор объясняет значимость праздника для населения страны сохранением традиционных ценностей и смыслов, а региональные особенности празднования и процессов коммеморации - различными факторами исторического, экономического, политического, социокультурного порядка. Празднование 70-летнего и 75-летнего юбилеев Победы отразило позитивное изменение общественного сознания в постсоветской России, что проявилось в увеличении интереса к историческому наследию, усилении чувства благодарности ветеранам и гордости за их подвиг, осознании причастности каждого к историческим событиям славного прошлого страны. День Победы, выполняя главные функции праздника, поддерживает преемственность традиций, объединяет различные социальные группы, воспитывает уважение к историко-культурному наследию и патриотизм. This article examines the Soviet and post-Soviet tradition of Victory Day celebrations and analyzes their role in modern Russian socio-cultural space. It is based on materials from the Omsk Region, including the results of surveys, data from the mass media and official sources, as well as the author’s personal observations. The author describes the central place of Victory Day in the modern holiday calendar and its important role in uniting the Russian nation by memorializing a common historical past. The author considers the role of the holiday in preserving traditional values and meanings, and describes the regional features of the celebration and the processes of commemoration as shaped by various historical, economic, political, and socio-cultural factors. The celebration of the 70 th and 75 th post-Soviet anniversaries of the victory reflected a positive change in public consciousness that was manifested in greater interest in the historical heritage, an increased sense of gratitude toward veterans and pride in their accomplishment, and an awareness of everyone’s involvement in the historical events of the country’s glorious past. Victory Day, performing the main functions of a holiday, supports the continuity of tradition, unites various social groups, and promotes patriotism and respect for the historical and cultural heritage

Escherichia coli has had a central place in water microbiology for decades as an indicator of faecal pollution. It is only relatively recently that the role of E. coli as pathogen, rather than indicator, in drinking water has begun to be stressed. Interest in the role of E. coli as a cause of diarrhoeal disease has increased because of the emergence of E. coli O157:H7 and other enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, due to the severity of the related disease. There are enterotoxigenic, enteropathogenic, enterohaemorrhagic, enteroinvasive, enteroaggregative and diffusely adherent strains of E. coli. Each type of E. coli causes diarrhoeal disease through different mechanisms and each causes a different clinical presentation. Several of the types cause diarrhoea by the elaboration of one or more toxins, others by some other form of direct damage to epithelial cells. This paper discusses each of these types in turn and also describes their epidemiology, with particular reference to whether they are waterborne or not.
