Published: December 2023

Relevance Currently, underwater robotics is one of the most important areas of development of robotic complexes. Their foundation and control are based on an electromechanical basis. The creation and research of electromechanical systems are one of the promising areas of development of electromechanics and electrical engineering. Equipped with a wide range of sensors, unmanned underwater vehicles are widely used to solve tasks such as studying the seabed relief, monitoring and servicing oil and gas pipelines and cable lines, collecting biological and geological samples of liquids, developing offshore oil and gas fields, conducting underwater rescue operations. The increasing popularity of such devices is explained by the fact that the use of manned vehicles can be very dangerous for the life of the pilots themselves and incur high costs during their operation. Research conducted by various engineering groups in the field of modeling and control of underwater robots is ultimately aimed at achieving full automation of processes. Achieving this aim seems to be an extremely difficult task, since it requires knowledge and understanding of a large volume of theoretical and practical problems that are subject to comprehensive research. Aim of research To carry out theoretical calculations on the study of electromechanical and mechanical parameters of underwater robot control and compare them with experimental data. Research methods The theory of electromechanical energy conversion and control of electrical equipment, methods of mathematical and physical modeling were used in the work. Results The results of constructing an algorithm and a mathematical model of the device of an electromechanical composite robot are presented. A system of equations of mechanics and electrodynamics was used to describe its power characteristics. By solving this system of equations, a theoretical analysis of the operation of its engine was carried out. With the help of the mechatronic approach, its swimming and coordination of its functional modules are studied. The results of this article will be useful for engineers involved in the design and operation of robots using robotic systems in the fields of biotechnology and biomechanics.

Relevance A promising direction for the development of domestic and foreign electric power industry is distributed generation. Distributed generation is a principle for the development of distribution networks and internal power supply networks of enterprises with a voltage level of up to 110 kV inclusive, in which power plants with an installed capacity of not more than 25 MW are located in close proximity to power consumption nodes. The reasons for the spread of this principle of development of distribution networks include the reduction of losses in the transmission of electricity, the possibility of isolated or autonomous modes of operation of energy districts, and due to the variety and high efficiency of distributed generation generating plants, the ability to use any available energy resources, including renewable energy sources. In conditions of distributed generation, power supply to consumers with a sharply variable nature of the load is difficult, which is associated with significant deviations of the mode parameters and shutdown of generating plants by emergency automatics. The reasons for such a low dynamic stability of generating installations of distributed generation are different and are determined by their operating principle, design and some other factors. The main reasons include incorrectly set operation algorithms and settings of emergency automatics, overheating of the primary engine, low moment of inertia of the turbine, and stochastic nature of power generation. Consumers with a sharply variable nature of the load include not only large industrial enterprises, but also communications enterprises, some agricultural enterprises, and the load of the housing and communal sector. Thus, a sharply variable load is present in many areas of activity and solving the issues of organizing its power supply according to the principle of distributed generation is an urgent problem. Aim of research Review of ways to maintain the mode parameters of the power supply system with distributed generation facilities and consumers with a sharply variable nature of the load. Research methods The studies were carried out using the theory of transient electromechanical processes, the theory of power transmission, and experimental results. Results A review is made of ways to maintain the mode parameters of a power supply system with distributed energy sources within a

Relevance For stable operation of electrical equipment of power supply systems of industrial enterprises, it is necessary to evaluate and present measures that will solve the set tasks in an integrated manner. Thus, there is a need to assess the resulting stability when introducing new generating capacities in emergency and post-emergency modes, taking into account unbalanced capacities. The object of the study is a power hub characterized by a complex configuration with a voltage class from 0.4 to 500 kV and contains its own generation sources. The main consumer of which is the largest producer of ferrous metallurgy. Aim of research The aim of the work is to determine the influence of the power balance on the resulting stability of generators in emergency and post-emergency modes. Research methods To achieve this goal, an algorithm has been developed, which is the basis of the KATRAN program complex. Results This algorithm makes it possible to study the short-circuit elimination mode with separation from the power system as a result of relay protection and automation action with determination of the power unbalance share. According to the results of the work, power areas with violation of the resulting stability of synchronous machines and the resulting power unbalance, allocated as a result of the short circuit, were identified, which allowed to issue additional recommendations on connecting loads in the network or their disconnection in emergency mode. The obtained recommendations will allow to increase the reliability of power supply of the enterprise in order to increase the volume and quality of manufactured products.

Authors:   National Research University «MPEI», Korolev Vyacheslav I.
Published: December 2023

Relevance In industry, any failures and unplanned downtime of machines or systems can degrade or interrupt a company's core business, potentially leading to significant penalties and irreparable loss of reputation. Existing traditional maintenance approaches (failure or routine maintenance) suffer from some assumptions and limitations, such as high prevention or repair costs and inadequate or inaccurate mathematical degradation processes. Due to the trend of intelligent manufacturing, data mining, and artificial intelligence, predictive maintenance control is proposed as a new type of maintenance paradigm only after analytical models predict certain failures or degradations. Equipment condition monitoring can reduce the likelihood of failures occurring. Successful technical diagnostics and monitoring of complex electromechanical subsystems and assemblies provides an increase in service life and reliability of the systems as a whole. Aim of research A general overview of maintenance aims and objectives, which mainly include detection and prevention of failures and malfunctions, maintaining performance within established limits, condition prediction in order to improve machine reliability and full use of its resource, cost minimization, maximization of availability/reliability and multi-criteria optimization. Object of research The object of the study is the technical condition of rolling bearings of rotating electric machines. The main defects that are characteristic of this object are analyzed. In addition, a practical and effective sequential preventive maintenance method for rotating electrical machines is proposed, consisting of four steps: feature generation and fault diagnosis selection, data dimensionality reduction and feature fusion, fault detection and diagnosis, and estimation of the remaining useful life of rotating electrical machine bearings. Vibration signal analysis (from the time domain waveform and spectrum of the original or derivative signal, characteristics can be calculated and their effectiveness in diagnosing a fault can be assessed). Research methods To verify the performance of the proposed method, bearing failure is simulated in the Simulink MATLAB module. The bearing failure is created by feeding the vibration perturbation into the shaft system. Results Based on the results of the simulation, a conclusion on the operability of the proposed method for investigating the technical condition of rotating electric machines is drawn.

Authors: Agildin Vladimir , Bodrova Elena
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the types of punishment and the peculiarities of their execution for the crime under Article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). It is noted that unauthorized leaving of service is a crime committed by a special subject – a serviceman. Responsibility for such an offense is a part of its status. Such types of punishment as arrest, imprisonment, as well as special types of punishment inflicted to the special subject of the crime in question are considered: detention in a disciplinary military unit, restriction on military service. Particular attention to the procedure for serving a sentence in the form of arrest at the guardhouse, detention in a disciplinary military unit is paid. The judicial practice of military courts in terms of imposing the penalties under consideration has been analyzed.
According to the results of the study it is proposed to change the current legal regulation. It is advisable in the sanction of part 1 of article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to replace the arrest for up to 6 months with a disciplinary arrest for up to 45 days due to the fact that this act is committed by military personnel on conscription is not long, and arrest with a maximum period is quite severe punishment. It is also proposed to exclude part 2 of Article 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and at the same time introduce these provisions into Article 313 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, since the content in a disciplinary military unit is an alternative to imprisonment.

Authors: ARSLAN Çağrıalp , TAYFUN Ümit , DOĞAN Mehmet
Published: December 2023

The surface interaction between the polymer and the mineral additive is one of the most significant aspects influencing the efficiency of mineral-filled polymeric composites. In this work, three distinct compatibilizers were introduced to composites based on polypropylene (PP) and perlite to improve interactions between the constituents. On composites comprising 10% expanded perlite content, three different ratios of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA-PP) compatibilizers were employed. Composites were produced using an approach designated melt blending followed by injection molding. The composites containing MA-PP compatibilizer possessed the most outstanding performance, according to the results of mechanical, physical, and dynamic mechanical evaluations and morphological characterizations. The investigated aspects indicated a rise in the composites containing 10 percent compatibilizer with the lowest adding amount, whereas performances declined at high compatibilizer contents. Along with these results, it was determined that the compatibilizers included in the PP/perlite composite system assisted in the fabrication of the composites by promoting the force values and melt flow rates identified during melt mixing. Following the test outcomes, MA-PP performed better than TPU and EVA in terms of compatibilizer efficiency. In general, it has been revealed that the selection of MA-PP compatibilizer in the manufacturing stages would offer benefits in terms of both simplicity of processing and mechanical strength where expanded perlite will be adopted as a natural filler for PP-based composites.
Thermodynamic Analysis of the Integrated System that Produces Energy by Gradual Expansion from the Waste Heat of the Solid Waste Facility
Authors: ELBİR Ahmet
Published: December 2023

The rapid increase in consumer societies leads to a rise in waste facilities. Especially when considering the amount of power used in waste plants and the corresponding waste heat generated, an approach to recover waste heat from these facilities has been proposed. Initially, the waste heat from the solid waste facility was assessed using the Rankine cycle. Subsequently, an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system was integrated into the lower cycle of the steam Rankine cycle. The integrated system was completed by harnessing waste heat from the Rankine steam cycle in the carbon dioxide cycle. These power generation systems are designed with two turbines, each with gradual expansion. Using sub-cycles, 1 kg/s of air at 873.2 K was obtained by evaluating the waste heat. In terms of energy efficiency, it can be observed that the R744 gradual expansion cycle exhibits the highest energy and exergy efficiency. Cooling with water in heat exchangers reduces exhaust efficiency. The highest mass flow requirement is found in the ORC system when the R123 fluid is used. The energy efficiency for the entire system was calculated as 22,4%, and the exergy efficiency for the entire system was calculated as 60.7%. When Exergo Environment Analysis was made, exergy stability factor was found to be %60.7, exergetic sustainability index was found to be 2.66. There is also 370K waste heat available, which is recommended for use in drying units. These calculations were performed using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) program.

Authors: not provided bethanyroseevison
Published: December 2023

Abstract Background: To further personalise and refine playlist collection methodologies for people with dementia, current utilised methodologies must be reviewed and critically analysed. However, there is limited transparency of some of these approaches. To remedy this current gap in literature more focussed research into the methodologies used in creating these music playlists is needed (Garrido et al., 2017). This protocol is for a systematic review that aims to identify the methodologies currently utilised in the development of music playlists for people with dementia and will also explore and analyse the effectiveness of these methods on dementia related outcomes. Methods: This protocol has been written in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocol (PRISMA) guidelines. Systematic searches will be used to identify the efficacy of methodologies used to collect chosen playlists for people living with dementia. These searches will be conducted across PubMed, PsychInfo, SCOPUS, and Music Periodicals database. Titles, abstracts and keywords will be screened with Rayyan.ai software and risk of bias will be assessed using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT). Results: Studies will be reported as descriptive data and summarised narratively. Data and information on specific methodologies will be grouped together. Depending on the variability of methods, this might occur through grouping methodologies into broader themes (e.g., informant-based questionnaire playlists). Identifying and critically analysing the efficacy and acceptability of playlist collection methodologies will further understanding and future refine of further tailored and user-friendly playlist collection methods for people with dementia. Discussion: Findings from the systematic review will help aid the refine and development of new methodologies for playlist collection in people with dementia, so that it is not only effective in improving outcomes and objectives but also acceptable and feasible. Keywords: Dementia, music, chosen playlists, individual music listening.

Published: December 2023

After labor, mothers need good physiological and psychological adjustments. The inability to adapt to a new situation can result in mothers' psychological stress, eventually leading to postpartum crises and depression. If this incident is not handled, it can lead to serious mental health problems, especially postpartum psychosis to bipolar disorder. In depressed and anxious people, the body will secrete adrenal hormones, which cause vital signs such as blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, and pulse. This study aims to find the relationship between anxiety, depression, and vital signs of postpartum mothers. This study used qualitative with correlation cross-sectional design. The respondents were 60 postpartum mothers at 0-6 months postpartum in Yogyakarta recruited using purposive sampling techniques. The instrument used to measure postpartum maternal depression was The Back Depression Inventory version II and State Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to measure anxiety. Data analysis used Pearson to find the relationship between anxiety, depression, and vital signs. The t-test analysis shows there were relationship between state and trait anxiety with a pulse (p-value = 0.00), respiration (p-value = 0.00), depression with a pulse (the p-value = 0.00) and respiration (p-value 0.00). Anxiety and depression can be detected from the changes in the vital signs of postpartum mothers so that early detection by health workers can prevent anxiety and depression

Published: December 2023

Complementary feeding (CF) practices have an essential role in determining the nutritional status of children. Children who are given early complementary feeding (ECF) are at risk of malnutrition. Besides, children with family farmers tend to have wasting or overweight because they cannot provide food in a variety, quantity, and quality according to the nutritional needs of their children. This study aimed to determine the relationship of ECF with nutritional status in children 6-24 months towards family farmers. This correlational study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach. Samples were 75 children aged 6-24 months selected using purposive sampling. This research was conducted at Geger Health Center Bangkalan Regency. Data collection was done by giving questionnaires to children parents. Children's weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) were calculated using WHO Anthro version application 3.2.2. The chi-square test analyzed the association between CF and nutritional status. The results of the study showed that the nutritional status of 75 children was normal (72%), overweight (25.3%), and wasted (2.7%). Most mothers have been given ECF since infants aged two months (29.3%) and 0 months (13%), which caused 36.4% of children to become overweight. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between CF with nutritional status to children aged 6-24 months towards family farmers (p-value=0.033). ECF caused children aged 6-24 months to become overweight. Therefore, it is hoped that health workers will always give health education to increase mothers' knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding to support the nutritional status of children aged 6-24 months towards family farmers.

Authors:   People&Global Business Association, j j
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigates how green entrepreneurial self-efficacy (GESE) influences environmental performance (EP) in the Gauteng province: the mediating and moderating role of green innovation (GI) and green purchase behaviour (GPB).
Design/methodology/approach: The study followed the quantitative research design and a self-administered questionnaire was employed during the data collection process. Data was collected from one hundred ninety-five SME owners in a cross-sectional survey. The participants of this study were in the retail, service and manufacturing sectors. The data was analysed using SmartPLS 4.0.
Findings: The empirical findings of this study show that there is a significant positive relationship between GESE and the EP of SMEs. The study further shows that the relationship between GESE and EP is partially mediated by GI and the relationship is also moderated by GPB at an average weight.
Research limitations/implications: The study has the following limitations and suggests some new study areas. First, the cross-sectional nature of the survey limits the ability to separate cause-and-effect relationships, and a longitudinal study will help to improve the results. Second, the survey was done on firms in one industry and one country. To improve the generalisability of the findings, further studies can include other industries in other countries.
Originality/value: This paper fills a gap in the literature by exploring external business variables mediating and moderating the relationship between GESE and EP and contributes to the discussion on the contradictory results regarding the relationship between GESE and EP.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aims to develop a conceptual model and validate the model using a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology to determine the Determinants of Intention to Use the Islamic Payment Gateway System among the Millennial Generation in Malaysia via a Structural Model. Based on past research, the UTAUT hypothesises four variable constructs: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social Influence, and facilitating factors. These characteristics are predictive of behavioural intent. In terms of the study, the author added a religiosity variable instead of the four recommended moderators.
Design/methodology/approach: A total of 303 field tests have been obtained from Malaysian millennial citizens using Islamic Fintech. Before the data is analysed into exploratory factor analysis, preliminary analysis such as normality and multicollinearity test has been conducted.
Findings: All constructs, which are performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social Influence, facilitating condition, and behavioural intention with religiosity as the moderating, have no factor reduction, but all constructs identified two components under exploratory factor analysis. Moreover, all construct KMO tests more than 0.50. All constructs met unidimensionality, validity, reliability, and model fitness in CFA. All the requirements for model fit in this study have been achieved.
Research limitations/implications: This study has significant consequences, particularly for the existing payment gateway system, which is already entering every area of human lifestyle with the millennial generation being targeted as the native user.
Originality/value: This study fills the apparent gap in the existing payment gateway system literature by assessing religiosity as moderating through exploratory factor analysis.

Purpose: This study criticizes the existing benchmarks of the national equity fund specified by the National Pension Service and proposes alternative benchmarks.
Design/methodology/approach: First, this study investigates whether the existing benchmarks returns are affected by the value and momentum factors. Second, we examine the effects of different factors on the benchmark returns of internal and outsourcing investments. Third, we propose three benchmarks by including the value factor and/or momentum factor. Finally, the Sharpe ratios of return-to-risk are used to measure these proposed benchmarks compared to the existing benchmarks.
Findings: First, the existing benchmarks of internal and outsourcing investments are associated with value and momentum factors, which have been observed in many other countries. Second, the Sharpe ratios of the three proposed benchmarks - value oriented, momentum oriented, and value & momentum oriented - are always better than the existing benchmarks. Third, the Sharpe ratio of the value oriented benchmark is better than that of the momentum oriented and value & momentum oriented benchmarks. Finally, the Sharpe ratios are better with increased investment weights of value and/or momentum.
Research limitations/implications: This study uses the Sharpe ratio to measure the return-to-risk relationship. There could be other measures to capture the relationship.
Originality/value: This is the first research to analyze the national pension equity fund with proposed benchmarks in the Korean market.

Published: December 2023

Este trabalho versa sobre o acesso ao Sistema Único de Saúde no Brasil (SUS) por imigrantes indocumentados. Questiona-se se é possível o amplo acesso aos serviços de saúde no Brasil por imigrantes indocumentados. Por meio do método dedutivo, objetiva-se analisar este paradoxo desvelado pela metateoria do Direito Fraterno. Esta investigação se justifica, uma vez que o Brasil tem um extenso território que faz fronteira com diversos países e possui um sistema público de saúde guiado pelo princípio do acesso universal. A pesquisa, quanto à forma, é qualitativa, quanto aos fins, descritiva e exploratória e, quanto aos meios, bibliográfica e documental. Verificou-se, à luz da metateoria do Direito Fraterno, que, na prática, os imigrantes indocumentados são incluídos no SUS através de sua exclusão, já que, por ausência de regulamentação e de fiscalização, este grupo de pessoas encontra diversos entraves para o ingresso no sistema, em razão da falta de documentação.

Authors:   University of Białystok, Janicka Anna
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the status of gender studies at Polish universities after 1989. The author quotes from a text by Maria Komornicka (“The Paradise for Young People”), who visited Cambridge, England, in 1896 and was greatly disillusioned with what she saw there, namely a model of education that in her opinion was a “refuge of emancipation”. The author the article refers to this metaphor, warning against politicizing gender studies and against favoring the model of education that excludes a polyphony of ideas, attitudes and traditions. In conclusion, it is argued that after 2015, negative attitudes towards gendered studies have gained strength and generated ideological confrontations.

Authors:   Lutsk Institute of Human Development in the University «Ukraine», Bai Helen
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the concept of death in poetry collection “The world is considered in parts” of Daniel Bratkowski. According to the previous statistic, thanatic motives play key role in the system of author’s image. Many poems of collection (more than sixty three) highlight the problems of death, connected with them the images of the sky and hell, opposite to this theme the life concept. The biographical information of the writer adds this problematic because the author died a martyr’s death, gave his life for his ideals. A kind of beginning of death concept development were existential reflections about the transience of human life and vanity of all good. The poems are imbued with such motives “Everything falls apart”, “The world – paint”, “World alternative”, “Secular politic”, “The world hasn’t enough, doesn’t know what asks” and others. In particular, he focused on the images of real treasure, obtained on earth and the transience of wealth, fame, high ranks. The reason for this wasn’t only Bratkowski’s philosophical beliefs but life’s trouble and difficulties he had to overcome. Therefore, through the prism of universal values, personal motives based on the self-word counterbalance are viewed. Concept of death in Bratkowski’s verses is detailed in the paintings of death of his mother, father, elder brother, young man, old man, the death of the poor and the rich etc. This life practice, which is the basis of the primary meaning of the image of death, gradually passes into higher categories. The author meant death as a reward for a righteous, for suffering. In contrast to the prose literature of this period, in baroque poetry of Bratkovwski there is no glorification of persons, especially prominent figures of his time. The thanatic motives of his lyrics are mundane at first glance – pictures of human everyday life are painted, after which a person passes to the heavenly transcendence. The most common antonymous method of covering the concept of death can be considered the counterbalanced of heaven and hell, death and life. The power of God rises above them who is opposed to all uncleanness and ungodliness. The culmination is the last verse of the collection which promises all the righteous a happy eternal abode in the heavenly abode.

E. Felinska’s choice of genealogical definitions for her works “Memories of a Journey to Siberia...” is due to the peculiarities of the reflection of the past, which differ from each other by the methodological approach in the interpretation of the problem, the properties of reflection of the temporal space, text (nature, world, time space, form, texture, etc.), emotional expression of the author’s recollections. The memoir genre provides a thorough comprehension of events and images of a larger period of time from the perspective of a mature author, which aims to leave a trace in history and relay your own experience to posterity. The memoir genre is characterized by a shorter time distance, and, as a rule, they are written under the first and strongest impressions of a particular event, so they have a high level of reflexivity. In the case of E. Felinska, the event that served as an intention was the exile to Siberia and later a stay in Saratovhe issues presented on the pages of “Memories of a Journey to Siberia...” by the outstanding Volynsky woman are conditionally combined into existential and socio-cultural and historical complexes. For “Memories of a Journey to Siberia...” ‒ the problems are the existential complex, which includes questions concerning the existence of man, his place in the world, the limits that can reach his mind, as well as all dimensions of loneliness, which E. Felinska felt in her own experience. The existential dimension corresponds to the system of problems of artistic illumination caused by the author’s existence in different cultural paradigms ‒ alien Siberian and Volyn. The socio-cultural and historical complex of problems is characterized by a high level of objectivity and actual content. The unifying factor behind the issue of “Memories of a Journey to Siberia...” remains the question of preserving Polish national authenticity in all temporal and spatial dimensions.

The paper is based on the author’s personal observations regarding the development of Ukrainian studies in Poland. Social and political processes that took place in Poland and Ukraine at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s resulted in the reorganisation of general Russian studies into university entities of East Slavonic orientation. In this way, many Polish higher education institutions founded divisions and chairs of Ukrainian studies, which since the very beginning tried to follow their own path of development, independent of Russian studies but equal in terms of the quality of student education. Ever since, Ukrainian studies have had mostly the same or similar curricula as any other foreign language studies at Polish higher education institutions. Also, they started off within a structure typical for Polish universities, i.e., based on three parallel directions: educational, scientific and publishing-oriented. Each one of these is carefully analysed in the paper. The author claims that, looking back, those studies have played a positive role in the Polish-Ukrainian dialogue and have, directly or indirectly, been facilitating Poles’ familiarity with Ukraine, its history, culture and language. They also help draw their attention to Ukraine’s present.
“YOU CAN’T LIVE REMEMBERING, BUT YOU CAN’T LIVE FORGETTING”: UKRAINIAN RECEPTION OF CONTEMPORARY POLISH LITERARY REPORTS ABOUT THE WAR (W. TOCHMAN, W. JAGIELSKI, W. GÓRECKI)
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Nachlik Olesia

During the last few years in Ukrainian translations appear more and more books belonging to non-fiction literature, including literary reports. The current popularity of this genre on the Ukrainian book market, as well as among readers, is caused by the topicality of the issues raised in such texts. A separate place in the Ukrainian reception of translations of contemporary Polish literature is occupied by the subject of war conflicts, because one of them during last several years takes place in Ukraine. So we perceive in the Ukrainian public discourse a sharp demand to discuss important and painful for most Ukrainians problems, related to rethinking of the ethical categories, moral values and adopting of traumatic experience related to war. Reports by W. Tochman (translated in 2009), W. Górecki (in 2018) and W. Jagielski (in 2019) devoted to completed or ongoing conflicts described in private stories, are not only testimonies of the fate of specific people, but they are also an element of the collective memory of nations. In the article have been analyzed texts-reactions that show the main accents of Ukrainian interpretations of these works. They all are connected by thinking about man and his world in and after the war, an attempt to search for its causes and effects, as well as the possibility of learning for the existence after the war with overcoming the pain, despair, hostility and mutual accusations of those who survived in it. In addition, the article has proved the important role of report, thanks to its reminder function, for modern Ukrainians in (re)updating the traumatic experience as part of their collective memory, which was removed from historical narrative in Soviet times, but is now being absorbed because of the war in the Donbas region. Separate attention (on the example of the Caucasian microcosm of Abkhazia) was devoted to sociological and historical analysis by the recipients of Ukrainian quasi-states with disputed borders and an unclear status with the inhabitants, who are constantly looking for their identity and being in the difficult relations with the rest of the world, which denies them to exist.
