This research examines the development of ophthalmology as a medical specialty in the Dutch East Indies between the years 1900 and 1942. The research is focus on the establishment of ophthalmology medical facilities, consist of ophthalmology hospitals, departments of ophthalmology, and ophthalmology outpatient clinics. The methods used in this research are a literature review of archival documents and spatio-temporal analysis. The primary source of archival documents for this study are the Medical Journal for the Dutch East Indies (Geneeskundig Tijdschrift voor Nederlandsch-Indie), Communications from the Civil Medical Service (Mededeelingen van den Burgerlijk Geneeskundige Dienst), Communications from the Public Health Service (Mededeelingen van den Dienst der Volksgezondheid), and Kolonial Verslaag. A spatio-temporal analysis was conducted to look at the distribution of medical facilities over time, using a phase division into three periods: 1900‒1910, 1901‒1930, and 1931‒1942. This research indicates that the establishment of ophthalmology medical facilities was a response to the prevalence of eye health problems in the Dutch East Indies during the nineteenth century. During the period between 1900 and 1910, a notable advancement in ophthalmology occurred with the establishment od ophthalmology hospital. These facilities were predominantly concentrated in Java, particularly in cities that served as administrative centers, such as Bandung and Semarang. From 1911 to 1930, the number of medical facilities increased with the establishment of departments of ophthalmology in hospital and ophthalmology outpatient clinics. The construction of medical facilities commenced in Sumatra, particularly in Padang and Perbaoengan. In contrast, the medical facilities constructed during the period between 1931 and 1942 were exclusively outpatient clinics. The findings indicate that the early ophthalmology medical facilities were concentrated in Java and Sumatra. Additionally, this study delves into the diagnostic and therapeutic measures employed by ophthalmologists to address a spectrum of eye diseases. Based on these findings, it can be inferred that the establishment of ophthalmology medical facilities in the Dutch East Indies signified the acceptance of ophthalmology as a specialized field dedicated to advancing public health and encouraged further research into eye diseases and their treatment.

The article provides an overview of the historical milestones in cryobiology, a scientific field that has found widespread practical application in reproductive medicine. Cryotechnologies have revolutionized assisted reproductive technologies, offering invaluable tools for the storage, protection, and management of reproductive cells such as sperm, oocytes, and embryos. The technology began with the first successful attempts at sperm cryopreservation, which not only demonstrated the possibility of preserving male gametes but also inspired a wave of research aimed at developing cryopreservation protocols for more sensitive and complex biological entities, including oocytes and preimplantation embryos. Cryopreservation has become a crucial component of fertility preservation, offering new opportunities for individuals and couples facing medical treatments that could compromise their reproductive potential, as well as providing options for delaying parenthood. Given the critical role of cryotechnologies in modern reproductive medicine, this article delves into the historical context of these developments, exploring the key breakthroughs that have shaped this field. The authors conducted an in-depth analysis of existing literature, drawing on a wide range of scientific databases to highlight the global impact of cryobiology on the current successes in reproductive medicine. Furthermore, the article presents the results of the authors' own research and practical experience in the field of reproductive cryobiology, with a particular focus on the application of these technologies in Ukraine. The review underscores the challenges and opportunities that have emerged throughout the history of cryopreservation, as well as ongoing efforts to improve and optimize these methods to further enhance infertility treatment outcomes. The discussion also addresses ethical and logistical considerations related to cryopreservation, particularly in the context of long-term storage and future use of cryopreserved materials. As cryobiology continues to evolve, its integration into reproductive medicine will undoubtedly lead to further innovations, making it a cornerstone of infertility treatment and reproductive health worldwide.

This study investigates the evolution of French language teaching methodologies in Galicia from 1867 to 1939, with a particular focus on the transition from the grammar-translation and text-translation methods to the direct method. Utilizing a historical-analytical approach, the research draws upon a wide range of primary sources, including educational curricula, pedagogical reports, and theoretical works by contemporary educators. The study reveals that the early period of French language instruction in Galicia was dominated by methods that prioritized the systematic mastery of grammar through deductive learning, where reading and translating texts played a central role. Writing has been seen as the ultimate goal of language acquisition, while speaking was often relegated to a secondary position. However, a significant shift occurred by the end of the 19th century, influenced by contemporary linguistic theories such as Neogrammarianism and psychological principles like Gestalt psychology. These new approaches emphasized the importance of oral communication, the contextual understanding of language, and the integration of cultural knowledge into language instruction. The direct method, which emerged during this period, aimed to teach French in a more practical and communicative manner, encouraging students to speak the language from the outset and use it in everyday situations. Despite the shift towards the direct method, the study notes that some traditional practices, such as the use of the native language for explaining grammatical concepts, continued to persist. This research concludes that the evolution of French language teaching in Galicia was characterized by a gradual but profound transformation towards more communicative and student-centered approaches, which laid the groundwork for modern language pedagogy in the region. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the historical development of language teaching methods and suggest areas for further research, particularly in the long-term impacts of these pedagogical shifts on contemporary language education practices.

The article updates the most significant information about the outstanding scientist-mechanic and railwayman of the first third of the 20th century Academician of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Petro Mykhaylovych Suprunenko (1893–1938). It is proven that his activities in the field of railway development are a significant contribution to the development of world science and technology. The main scientific works of the scientist and engineer are devoted to important problems of transport mechanics. He paid special attention to locomotive and wagon construction (he was a wagon designer). Wagons were built on the basis of a large amount of experimental material, which at one time received significant public resonance and scientific and technical recognition. It is emphasized that P. M. Suprunenko was one of the first railway engineers who proposed a scientific analysis of the interaction of the track with the rolling stock of railways. The article notes that today P. M. Suprunenko is mentioned very little, only fragments of his biography are described, only some of his scientific works are characterized. In the Institute of Transport Mechanics of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences headed by him, the following research was successfully developed under his leadership: methodological problems of transport mechanics were highlighted in order to comprehensively solve the tasks of modernization of the railway industry; research of non-stationary dynamic processes of interaction of rolling stock (train) with the track system (especially the study of the resonance phenomenon); research of the theory of calculations of locomotive traction on railway tracks in order to optimize elements of transport mechanics and increase their efficiency, etc. The article describes in detail each of these areas of research by P. M. Suprunenko. In general, his research focused on problems of railway transport. In the field of train traction theory, P. M. Suprunenko created a number of new methods for graphical integration of differential equations of train motion, paid significant attention to improving existing ones and creating new devices designed to measure the characteristics of various processes occurring in rolling stock and tracks. The scientist's achievements in the initial period of railway transport construction in Ukraine, especially on the South-Western Railways, are confirmed. The article shows that the role of P. M. Suprunenko was in his scientific work as an "idea generator" and a leading theorist in combination with engineering activities.

Planning has always been an essential part of scientific and practical activities, driven by the need for purposeful development in science, technology and society. The paper focuses on the study of the development of planning in the context of the history of economics and economic thought. The purpose of the paper is to study the formation of planning paradigms throughout economic history as a reflection of the features of the socio-economic processes that dominated from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. To achieve this purpose, general scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, generalization of literary sources) and special (historical-retrospective, chronological, historical-typological, historical-systemic) methods were used. The results of the study showed the main driving force of the genesis is a change in the level of environmental stability, the degree of socio-economic processes predictability and the level of uncertainty in their future development. The historical process of the formation of planning paradigms divided into three periods of dominance: I. The dominance of the neoclassical paradigm (from the late 19th century to the 1970s); II. The dominance of the neo-institutional paradigm (from the late 1970s to the late 1980s); III. The dominance of the evolutionary paradigm (from the late 1980s to the early 21st century). The formation of the neoclassical paradigm was due to the development of capitalism in Europe and was based on the assumption of socio-economic processes dynamics predictability. It allowed the use of optimization planning by continuing established trends into the future. The need to consider the current and future conditions of institutions and their impact on the activities of the economic agents (entrepreneurs, companies, states) led to the formation of a neo-institutional planning paradigm. Recognition of the environmental instability led to the formation of an evolutionary planning paradigm based on considering the trends in the changing world and their dynamics, as well as the ability of economic agents to adequately respond (adapt) to them. One of the main factors in the formation of new planning paradigms was the deepening of the gap between planning theory and practice. As a result, it was impossible to obtain reliable long-term forecasts. One of the features of the genesis of planning paradigms is the parallel use, which allows ensuring their development considering the socio-economic processes that have developed.
