On the uniqueness of the flow generated by an irregular vector field
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Seleznev Vadim A. , Gobysh Albina V. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: June 2023

The flow in time of an initial state ensemble in a multidimensional phase space, as a rule, models some dynamic process. Under what conditions is such a flow generated by a vector field in such a way that the given flow corresponds to the vector field in a unique way? A positive answer to this question is given by the classical uniqueness theorems for the solution of the initial value problem in the case of a regular vector field with the required properties of the modulus of continuity in space variables. In mathematical models of stochastic differential equations, in models of irregular hydrodynamic flows, and in a number of other cases when the flow is generated by a “bad” vector field that has a modulus of continuity in space variables that does not meet the conditions of the uniqueness theorem for solving the initial problem for a vector field, generating this flow, we cannot speak about the correctness of the initial problem for the vector field and, thus, about the correctness of finding the trajectories connecting the initial and actual states of the ensemble of particles in the phase space. In this case, the uniqueness of the flow generated by the vector field remains to be judged only by the properties of the flow itself. The only known result of this type is van Kampen's theorem, which states that the uniqueness of a flow generated by a vector field continuous in space variables is guaranteed by the properties of homeomorphism and the Lipschitz property of the flow in space variables. If the vector velocity field loses the property of continuity in space variables, then van Kampen's theorem does not work and some other properties of the flow are required to guarantee its uniqueness. In this paper, we establish such properties of a flow that guarantee its uniqueness even in the case of a violation of the continuity of the vector field that generates this flow. The conditions of van Kampen's theorem in a certain sense are a special case of the properties of the flow established in this paper, which guarantee its uniqueness as a solution to the initial problem for an irregular vector field. The general construction constructed here makes it possible to establish such properties of flows in various mathematical models that guarantee its uniqueness for a generating vector field.
An anthropological perspective on hand grip strength as a marker of health, disease and fitness

Published: June 2023

Handgrip strength is a quick way to assess overall muscle strength. Low handgrip strength is an indicator of poor health. While handgrip strength is related with mortality and morbidity, for some parameters, handgrip strength is even a stronger predictor of health than chronological age alone. Handgrip strength is highly sexually dimorphic and has a high heritability. It is thought that this is an outcome of sexual selection and intrasexual competition in our evolutionary history. Some anthropological studies confirm this view, and it is claimed that there are relationships between grip strength and aggression, athletic performance and attractiveness, especially in men. The aim of this study is to review the relationship of diseases with handgrip strength in anthropological perspective and examine the idea that handgrip strength being a marker of biological fitness.

Decision support technology for a seller on a marketplace in a competitive environment
Authors: Matveev Mikhail , Aleynikova Natalya , Titova Maria
Published: June 2023

This article deals with the problem of improving the effectiveness of a marketplace. The stakeholders of a marketplace are buyers and sellers. The objects are the aggregate of homogeneous products. The effectiveness of the trading platform, which can be characterized by the number of transactions made, will depend on how sufficiently the sellers put up offers. The paper looks at mathematical models to support the decision-making of the seller in making such offers. Focusing not only on the buyer demand but also on the presence of competitors on the site is a distinguishing feature of the models. To describe the competition, the apparatus of game theory is offered, namely the normal form of the game with a bimatrix model with two players: the seller – customer of service and the coalition of other sellers. To match offer and demand, as well as to find the probability of a transaction, fuzzy set theory and aggregation using the Choquet integral are used.
An intelligent method for generating a list of job profile requirements based on neural network language models using ESCO taxonomy and online job corpus
Authors: Nikolaev Ivan
Published: June 2023

Online recruitment systems have accumulated a huge amount of data on the real labor market in recent years. Of particular interest to the study are the data on the real requirements of the labor market contained in the texts of online vacancies, as well as the process of extracting and structuring them for further analysis and use. The stage of compiling an up-to-date list of requirements for a position profile in the recruitment process is very time-consuming and requires a large amount of effort from an HR specialist related to monitoring changes in entire industries and professions, as well as analyzing relevance of existing requirements on the market. In this article, the author proposes a conceptual model of a recommendation system that allows one to reduce the burden on an HR specialist at the stage of forming an up-to-date list of requirements for a position profile in the recruitment process. The model is based on a combination of the following components: a graph model of labor market requirements based on the ESCO taxonomy adapted for the Russian language; and an intelligent method of forming recommendations for compiling an up-to-date list of requirements in the recruitment process based on neural network models of the language on the architecture of transformers, ESCO skills taxonomy and corpus online vacancies of the Russian labor market. The article also provides a conceptual algorithm for the work of the recommendation system and possible options for recommendations on updating the list of requirements of the position profile in the recruitment process based on an analysis of the needs of the real labor market.

Collaborative Writing as Bio‐Digital Quilting: A Relational, Feminist Practice Towards “Academia Otherwise”
Authors: Vackova Petra , Puntil Donata , Dowdeswell Emily , Cooke Carolyn , Caton Lucy
Published: June 2023

In this article, we explore how quilted poetry as methodology, through the practice of collaborative writing, can help us to attune to and think with what is un/seen, un/heard, and un/spoken in our bio‐digital ways of working, as a way of resisting normative, exploitative practices in the neoliberal academia. We are a group of academics with different journeys and localities, connected by a common interest in the effects of boundaries, the dynamics of power, and the desire to do things differently. Drawing on our daily mundane encounters with/in both virtual and physical spaces of academia, including Teams meetings, Outlook emails, Google documents, and Miro board collaborations, we write quilted poetry with fragments of precarious matter: silences, messages, rhythms, feelings, and materialities. We attend to the entanglement of our bodies and their enmeshment in technology and share how bringing relational, feminist theories and the bio‐digital together has helped us to both materialise new patterns of relations and enact a more ethical approach to working in academia.
The StoryMapper: Piloting a Traveling Placemaking Interface for Inclusion and Emplacement
Authors: Vrebos Hanne , Biedermann Paul , Vande Moere Andrew , Hermans Koen , Hannes Karin
Published: June 2023

As aresponse to traditional (top‐down) urban planning processes, placemaking engages local citizens in the process of shaping the form, social activity, and meaning of places around them. However, placemaking practices similarly face political challenges regarding inclusion and emplacement. These challenges relate to who participates, facilitation through linguistic discourse, and place engagement itself. Attempting to address these challenges, this article (based on a pilot study) reports on the design and deployment of the StoryMapper, a traveling placemaking interface that uses a participant‐driven “chain of engagement” recruiting process to invite participants to create emplaced “morphings” (i.e., visually produced stories superimposed on public space) to spark dialogue on a digitally facilitated living map. This pilot study took place within a larger placemaking project that engages citizens to share their ideas regarding the reconversion of a community church. Plugging the Storymapper into this larger project, we discuss preliminary findings relating to the role of placemaking facilitators in citizen‐driven recruitment and the role of multimodality in placemaking processes. This pilot study suggests that inclusion should not only be evaluated based on who participates and who does not, but also on how the tool itself, in its capacity to engage participants to visualize complex emplaced ideas, may facilitate inclusion of different publics.

Authors: Lukmonov S. N. , Belenkaya Ya. V. , Lebedko M. S. , Gordeev S. S. , Mammadli Z. Z.
Published: June 2023

Background. The need of neoadjuvant treatment for upper rectal cancer remains the object of discussion, which makes further study of this topic important.

Аim. To estimate the postoperative complications rate depending on the type of neoajuvant treatment.

Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort multicenter study, that analyzed data of medical records of patients with upper rectal cancer from the archive of N.N. Blokhin Cancer Research Center of the ministry of Health of Russia, Ryzhikh national medical Research Center of Coloproctology of the ministry of Health of Russia and Stavropol Regional Clinical Oncology Center for 2007–2020. Patients were devided into 3 groups: the group of radiotherapy (5*5 gy), the group of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (4 courses of XELOX before surgery) and the group of surgery. The main endpoint was the study of anastomotic leak rate. Also we estimated the postoperative complications rate III–Iv degree (Clavien– Dindo), the sphincter-preserving surgery rate, the stoma creation rate, the postoperative mortality.

Results. we included 110 patients in radiotherapy group, 188 patients in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, 103 patients in surgery group. Study groups were comparable by sex, ASA status and histological grade. Postoperative grade III– Iv complications (in all cases were associated with anastomotic leak) developed in 8 (6.8 %) patients in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group versus 11 (10.0 %) patients in radiotherapy group (p = 0.379) and 12 (11.7 %) patients in surgery group (p = 0.208). There weren»t any significant differences in this parameter between the radiotherapy and the surgery group (p = 0.698). R0-resection was performed in 117 (99.2 %) patients in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group versus 107 (97.3 %) patients in radiotherapy group (p = 0.280) and 103 patients (100 %) in surgery group (p = 0.349). Radiotherapy and surgery groups didn’t differ significantly in R0-resection rate (p = 0.091). 1 patient (0.84 %) in neoadjuvant chemotherapy died before surgery, in other groups there weren’t any lethal outcomes (p = 0.283). Only the male sex, had a statistically significant effect on the anastomotic leak rate (risk ratio (HR) 2.875; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.24–6.63; p = 0.003).

Conclusions. A study of these case histories of patients with cancer of the upper ampullary rectum, conducted by us, showed that neoadjuvant treatment didn»t affect the postoperative complications rate.
Legitimation by naturalization in the news: mechanism, techniques and linguistic means
Authors:   National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Kyiv, UA, Chadiuk Mariia
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes techniques and linguistic means of legitimation by naturalization in the news. It summarizes definitions of naturalization used in scientific works and classifies them into three groups: (1) representation of actions as something typical or "inevitable result of natural characteristics"; (2) omission of an alternative perspective, which makes mentioned one look like common sense; (3) treating naturalization and normalization as synonyms. The research also explains how different academics modify these definitions. Additionally, two main approaches to the relationship between legitimation and naturalization are singled out. Drawing on T. van Leeuwen's monograph (2008), influential for many studies of CDA, this research analyzes naturalization techniques in the popular news articles (during June 2020 – May 2021) published on the 25 most visited Ukrainian media. We suggest that naturalization should include not only evaluation, as T. van Leeuwen believes, but also theoretical rationalization. That's because naturalization by explanation, definition, and prediction, which constitute theoretical rationalization, and evaluation have a common basis for legitimation; the difference is only in the chosen linguistic means. The study proves that T. van Leeuwen's framework needs to be clarified since speakers can also use the purpose, abstraction, and analogy for legitimation by naturalization. Besides, the specificity of naturalization – it justifies action by representing the latter as usual and natural, not through relating it with values – enables its unique role in legitimation. Its linguistic means do not have positive or negative connotations, and by using them, speakers try to present their negative acts as neutral and ordinary. This attribute facilitates applying naturalization in response to criticism from the public or opponents. Analyzed data enables us to assert that naturalization is used for this purpose much more often than to justify something new. The research also singles out linguistic means of legitimation by naturalization.
Communicative potential of literary phraseology in the media
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Zbinska Anna
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to stylistic functions of literary phraseology in media communication. The author opinion that the media sphere is a special type of verbalized language consciousness that commensurates with actual processes of language development is formulated and argued. Language markers, representative for the media, their origin, functional resource, effective forms of presentation, analysis of the ability to influence the semantic development of language and form the cultural field of modern mass consciousness are important issues for a linguist in such investigation objectivity. The emphasis is made on the fact that the active processes of development of modern information societies cause the transformation of language communication, in particular in the media, where the functional intentions of the literary word and phraseology are significant and effective. The functions of literary phraseology of biblical origin, author's phraseology of Ukrainian writers in media communication are considered, primarily from the point of view of their transformation, ability to unite the text. Special attention is also focused on the intertextual possibilities of literary phraseology as the ability of intercultural semantic circles to outline the associative aesthetic and ethical potential of modern European culture. The author interprets the intentions of phraseological units as multivariate communicative units, characterized by semantic field, aptness, stability and the mentioned emotional, expressive potential, that collectively allows to perform a manipulative function and strengthen the influence on the recipient's consciousness. The use of literary phraseology in the media, which is determined by the expressive potential of these language units, the conciseness of the form, the ability to symbolize, to combine humanistic ideas and intercultural ties of modern civilization, is elaborated. Emphasis is placed on the expediency and perspective of interpreting the possibilities of literary phraseology in the active communicative space of the media.
Сrisis communications in the information space of wartime Ukraine
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Snytko Olena
Published: June 2023

The present study explores crisis communications in media space of wartime Ukraine that imply the use of technologies aimed at diagnosing, predicting, and managing crises and, whenever possible, neutralizing their negative consequences. The findings indicate that the identity narrative is the foundation for the ideological matrix of Ukrainian strategic communications during the Russia-Ukraine war. This master narrative outlines the fundamental features and values of the distinctive and unique Ukrainian nation defending its sovereignty and statehood. Not surprisingly, all other pro-Ukrainian narratives draw on this master narrative because the aggressor's primary goal is to destroy the country's nationhood and devalue democratic aspirations and pro-European/ pro-Western orientations of its citizens. Crisis communications practices indicate that wartime texts should be short, with balanced factual and emotional parts and a personal message – "Address the whole people and every one of them!" These communication principles have dominated public speeches, including those of the top diplomatic officials, from the start of the third stage of the war. The crisis faced by Ukrainian society during wartime has brought to the forefront a growing number of specific suggestive texts that support the main strategic narratives and boost the morale of citizens – creolized (multimodal) texts that are disseminated through traditional and new media, social networks, combining different information codes (verbal, visual and musical texts). These texts effectively and positively influence Ukrainian society and simultaneously objectify narratives rich in emotional description. The activation of these forms is the result of tension release through creativity. Traditionally used to exert manipulative influence on individuals, this form may prove effective in crisis communication situations due to its propensity to quickly neutralize the state of uncertainty, which is difficult for the psyche.
Brexit as a keyword in British political discourse
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Fomenko Olena
Published: June 2023

This case study examines the neologism Brexit, defined in OED as "the (proposed) withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and political processes associated with it." Coined in May 2012, this word quickly gained media currency in the United Kingdom and abroad. The political coinage has become an internationalism, i.e., it has achieved global recognition and entered other languages in its original meaning and form. After an unprecedented surge in use (by astronomical 3 400%), Brexit was declared the 2016 word of the year by Collins Dictionary and gained entry to the Oxford English Dictionary. This study explores the word's characteristics and use in the media. The data were collected from British internet magazines and newspapers and the NOW corpus (News on the Web) for the time period from May 2012 to January 2023. The study argues that the word Brexit has the following features of a keyword: social significance, high frequency, wide use in various contexts, occurrence in strong media positions, metaphorical creativity, and neological productivity. Brexit appears on magazine covers, newspaper front pages, and in headlines. Reflecting heated debates on the British exit from the EU, the word has acquired new and controversial meanings and become a rich source of word formation, thus giving rise to numerous neologisms collectively referred to as Brexit glossary or Brexicon. This glossary of Brexit terms includes "old" English words and expressions that have acquired new meanings and political terms used in everyday discussions about Brexit. The most significant contribution of the word Brexit to present-day English is the new productive suffix -exit that, transcending the boundaries of political discourse, has come into use in various other domains.
THE FIGURE OF THE UKRAINIAN IN POLISH WORKS AND THE POLISH IN UKRAINIAN LITERATURE OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
Authors:   V.I. Vernadsky Tavra National University, Goncharenko Bogdana
Published: June 2023

The article examines the image of the figure of a Ukrainian in Polish literature and the figure of a Pole in Ukrainian literature of the second half of the 19th century. The ethno-image of the Ukrainian and Ukraine, which was fixed in the Polish mentality for quite a long time, is studied, the formation of the national identity of Poles is traced on the example of literary works and literary-critical works. Typological parallels in the works of contemporary poets and writers are traced. Various themes of works in both literatures of the era of romanticism and positivism are analyzed. Changes and mutual influences of both cultures are outlined. Mutual stereotypes and historical background are highlighted. The post-romantic period is, without a doubt, the most difficult to discuss, since it not only encompasses, as already noted, various literary periods and movements, including the dominant one already at the end of the 19th century. in both literatures, the positivist direction, remaining the common denominator of the cultural structure that exists in the context of the entire history of Polish-Ukrainian national-cultural relations. The statement of S. Ulyash, based on the dichotomy of Self (Polish) and Other (Cossack-Ukrainian), was considered, thanks to which the process of awareness of national differences and identification of Self (Polish) in relation to Other (Ukrainian) was consolidated. However, already in the second half of the 19th century, there was a change in the vision of Ukraine. The post-romantic period not only covers different literary eras and movements, in particular the positivist period, but also unites the relationship between the two literatures. The experience gained by positivists was developed and increased in the era of Polish and Ukrainian modernism. It is stated that image of Ukraine at the end of the 19th century. in Polish literature, features of individualization, a vitalistic concept of connection with nature and a tendency to poeticize the Ukrainian folklore tradition, history to a lesser extent. The political and historical factors of that time certainly left an im- print on the apperceptive background regarding the reception of the Ukrainian in Polish literature as the Other in later times.
ROMANTIC HISTORIOSOPHY OF A. MICKIEWICZ. EMOTIONS, SPACE, EMPIRE
Authors:   Mechnikov Odesa National University, Malynovskyi Artur
Published: June 2023

The article examines A. Mickiewicz’s “Crimean Sonnets” in the context of geopolitics, anthropology, and literary imagology. Attention is focused on the phenomenon of knowing the Other, the situation of the cultural frontier of the Polish émigré poet, the founder of national romanticism, the reformer of the Polish language, the author of works about Lithuania and Ukraine, and the researcher of Slavonia. Attention is focused on the Paris lectures of A. Mickiewicz, in which Ukraine appears as the personification of the frontier, the territory of the borderland, multiculturalism, and the place of geopolitical clashes. The impor- tance of the landscape factor for the interpretation of Ukrainian history, which is closely connected with the national space and picturesque landscapes, is emphasized. The dichotomy of West and East is inscribed in the local-ethnographic context of Ukrainian everyday life, the contradictory meeting of cultures on the border. Mickiewicz’s historiosophy is connected with the steppe as a marker of Ukraine. In this connection, the concept of cultural influences of M. Hrushevskyi, his views on the steppe and the sea as extremely important concepts of the history of Ukraine are considered. «Crimean Sonnets» appear as the embodiment of steppe metaphors at various levels. It is stated that Mickiewicz’s depiction of the steppe completely breaks out of the traditional framework of landscape descriptions, sketches, and national landscapes. Special attention is drawn to the anthropological aspects of the steppe space, its close connection with emotions, mentality, artistic style. Mickiewicz’s works are considered in the context of the work of Polish poets of the Ukrainian school – B. Zaleski, A. Malczewski, S. Goszczyński. Emphasis is placed on the rhizome structure of the steppe space in the texts of Polish romanticism. This allows us to combine opposites and antinomies within the limits of artistic integrity, to read symbolic emotions and mental movements in the cultural geography. The steppe is analyzed as a national space, a metaphor of Ukrainian history, cultural geography, a landscape characteristic of style, writing, emotions, ethnopsychology.
VERBALIZATION OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR IN POLISH LITERARY REPORTS: THE TRAGEDY OF MAN IN THE POST-TRUTH ERA
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Nakhlik Olesya
Published: June 2023

The Revolution of Dignity and the war in the East of Ukraine caused the active emergence and formation of a whole segment of the new national literature, in which a special place was occupied by non-fiction: reportages, memoirs and recollections of the direct participants of these landmark events in the recent history of Ukraine. On the other hand, the appearance of collections of Polish literary reports by P. Pieniążek and T. Grzewaczewski about the Russian-Ukrainian war in the Donbass, about existence on the front line, as well as in other quasi-republics on the territories of post-Soviet states, resulted in an active public discussion also in Polish society about the causes and cardinal and irreversible consequences of armed conflicts in the life of a person, family, nation. The article analyzes for the first time in Ukrainian literary studies the way in which the vivid language of witnesses of dramatic events in the territories over which the „shadow” of Russian imperialism still hangs, conveys their deep personal stories of struggle for their own „truth”, painful losses, daily reconstruction of the destroyed reality, evacuation and preservation of home as the place of the only refuge. The article discusses in general the way of awareness, structuring and acceptance of a new reality through a non-artistic presentation of reality. Separate research attention has been focused on the reporters’ and their co-interlocutors’ reflections on the complex process of identity formation in the struggle against Soviet nostalgia, ideological manipulation and Russian propaganda, regional contradictions and under the influence of traumatic experiences of loss. This is the first attempt to explore the insightful observations and conversations the two reporters had about the war’s touching of human relations – the civil- ian population living in the basements of bombed-out houses, and the military, defending the front lines (on both sides). With careful use of literary metaphors and comparisons, the reportages by P. Pieniążek and T. Grzywaczewski are yet another important voice in the literature on the war caused by Russia, in addition to Ukrainian self-reflection.
DANYLO BRATKOVSKYI AS A «SPEAKER OF PIETY»: POLISH LANGUAGE POETRY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Radyshevskyi Rostyslav
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes the worldview system of Danylo Bratkowski, presented in his Polish-language poetry. Two vectors of her development in the multicultural space of the border area are indicated - as a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations and a son of the Ukrainian people, who at that time formed the baroque culture of this state on an equal footing with other peoples, but at the same time defended her own national values. It has been proven that the poet embodied the principles of civilizational proteism, which, according to David Szymchak’s definition, had a moderate character. This was manifested in the image of the Sarmatian hero, who skillfully combined common state values with his own national and religious beliefs in the intercultural space of the borderland. The artist’s «piety» manifested itself not only in religious matters, but also in the moral and social code that he professed. Most of the poems in the collection «The World Considered in Parts» are dedicated to this very topic, framed by baroque conceptualism. The problems of women’s fate, youth and old age, freedom of national expression, moral transgressions in society, political equality, etc., require more detailed consideration. One of the key moral transgressions among representatives of different nationalities was alcoholism. Many poems by Danylo Bratkovskyi are devoted to this problem. The poet condemned this harmful habit, both male and female, which destroyed the person and his environment. A passion for excessive wealth and foreign fashion, which often put a person in a ridiculous position, had similar negative connotations. Laughter combined with satire became a feature of Bratkovsky’s authorial style. The writer’s fascination with Sarmatian ideas influenced the formation of his lyrical hero. He is presented in the spirit of idealization, devoid of negative features, endowed with special virtues. From a political point of view, this image has a more realistic character, since the Polish and Ukrainian nobility preserved the tradition and attributes of their status, but in their actions and habits they deviated far from this ideal. From the collection it appears that the author idealized himself and portrayed himself as an example to follow. Balancing between political ambitions and universal values, expressed in philosophical and religious dimensions, testify to the high level of education and diplomacy of the poet as a representative of the Ukrainian people, Orthodoxy and a citizen of a multicultural state.
UKRAINIAN HISTORY IN THE WORKS OF ZENON FISZ (ON MATERIAL OF A NOVEL „NESTOR PYSANKA”)
Authors:   Lodz University (Poland), Romaschenko Liudmyla
Published: June 2023

The article observes the creative work of Polish writer Z. Fisz, which is nowadays somewhat forgotten. However, it must take a decent place in the history of the Polish and Ukrainian literature. Fisz’s activity is multifaceted: writer, playwright, historian, memoirist, ethnographer, publicist – these are far from all facets of his talent. Z. Fisz is the representative of the “Ukrainian school” in the Polish writing. Hence, the Ukrainian theme dominates in his creative heritage. He was interested in the Ukrainian history connected with Cherkasy region (for example, described in the novel “Nestor Pysanka”). The story vividly describes the culture, traditions in Ukraine. In the novel “Nestor Pysanka” the haidamakas uprising is shown on the ex- ample of the fate of the character whose name gave the title to the work. The dramatic events of Koliivshchyna are presented retrospectively, through the prism of the perception of the main character, who tells the author-narrator the secret of his life. Z. Fisz’s approach in evaluating the haidamakas uprising and its apogee is characterized as pro-noble, the author’s ambiguous attitude towards the participants of the haidamaks uprising is noted. One gets the impression that the writer sympathizes with the Haidamak leader for his desperation, sociability, courage, justice, insight, indifference to accumulation, and organizational skills. Perhaps the author is aware of the ambiguity of his own vision of the haidamaks uprising and therefore tries to leave the evaluation of those bloody events to posterity and, thus, to remove responsibility from himself. Z. Fisz is not only well-versed in Ukrainian history, but also in love with Ukrainian nature, as evidenced by numerous picturesque descriptions of localities, Ukrainian customs, rites, traditions, folklore, and language. Numerous proverbs and sayings are embedded in the artistic canvas of the story as elements of intertext. All these factors create a powerful Ukrainian element, which unfolds not only in this story, but also in other works of the writer.
TOMASZ PADURA: THE TRAGEDY OF THE LYRIC POET
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Radyshevskyi Rostyslav
Published: June 2023

The proposed article states that the era of Polish romanticism from the point of view of searches and directions of activity of creative groups is a bright and colorful, multidimensional and heterogeneous period. An important phenomenon of that period within the framework of Polish romantic literature was the «Ukrainian school», a bright, unique part of Polish society that lived in Ukraine, which had a powerful influence on the progress of all Polish literature in the first half of the 19th century. It was established that one of the most striking figures of the «Ukrainian school» of Polish literature of the Romantic era was Tomasz Padura - a talented poet, lyricist who made an invaluable and at the same time invalued contribution to both Polish and Ukrainian culture, literature and music who drew inspiration from folklore and historical Cossack Dumas of Podillia, Volyn and Kyiv region and whose public activity caused polar positive or negative reactions. The purpose of the proposed research is an attempt to study the artistic evolution of the Ukrainian theme in the poetic work of T. Padura. The tasks of the work are determined by an attempt to determine the reasons for the strengthening of the moods of tragedy and pessimism in the process of the artistic evolution of T. Padura’s poetic work. The article analyzes the ideological and artistic worldview evidenced in the poems of T. Padura, his idealization of the heroic historical past of Ukraine, his utopian-romantic national-patriotic beliefs and hopes, features of T. Padura’s Ukrainophilism and T. Padura himself. Therefore, notes of tragedy and pessimism intensify in his poetry, especially after the defeat of the uprising of 1830–1831, which gradually caused an almost complete loss of interest on the part of T. Padura in public affairs. He saw a solution to the biggest problem of our time - the weakening of the Russian Empire and their conquering aspirations in the future Polish-Ukrainian union. Nevertheless, the poet’s mission as Poland’s envoy to the Ukrainian people ended with the defeat of the November Uprising, and this defeat, in turn, dispelled his illusions about a quick release.

In the 19th century, Polish public opinion was in a situation similar to that of Ukraine. She tried to get rid of Russian state dictates and free herself from colonial dependence. The difference was that Polish culture, unlike Ukrainian culture, was marked by development, and society completely welcomed the ideas of the national liberation struggle. Polish society was not deprived of the imperialism of the «Historical Commonwealth» and wanted to use Ukrainians as building material for the creation of a supra-ethnic Polish state nation. What drove a wedge between Ukrainian and Polish national figures. At the same time, the Polish movement provided Ukrainians with rich material for a conceptual historiosophical understanding of the ideas of Ukrainian national liberation. Ukrainian figures of Polish origin fell less under the spell of federal theories, and were more independent in their approach to the independence of Ukraine. It is not by chance that the founder of national populism in the form of a hrodavi was a nobleman of Polish origin – Volodymyr Antonovych, and of Ukrainian modern conservatism – also a right-bank nobleman Vyacheslav Lypynskyi. The article discusses the conceptual positives from the influence of Polish society and its liberation struggles of the 19th century. on the development of the Ukrainian national liberation movement at the beginning of the modern era of history. Objectively, the Polish movement gave the Ukrainian elite more promising ideas to follow than Russian liberalism. The author draws attention to the presence of figures in the Ukrainian movement who had Polish cultural and national roots. Moreover, it was in the midst of Polish society that politicians appeared who raised the question of the cultural and political separation of Ukrainians from Russians. First of all, we are talking about the «hustlers» of V. Antonovych, the Rylskyi brothers, K. Mikhalchuk and O. Yurkevich. Intellectuals of Polish culture radicalized the anti-Russian orientation of the activities of the Kyiv community (V. Antonovych and others). They created a council policy for the unification of the sub-Austrian and sub-Russian Ukraine, and pursued the policy of the «New Era» in Galicia. Independent horse movement. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the leaders of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party also had in their ranks descendants of the Polish cultural nobility (V. Lypynskyi, O. Skoropis-Yoltukhovskyi, L. Yurkevych, etc.). Socio-political Ukrainian conservatism of the pre-revolutionary era was built on the activities of Roman Catholic Ukrainians (V. Lypynskyi, L. Sidletskyi, B. Yaroshevskyi, F. Volska), who at the time manifested the Ukrainianness of the descendants of the right-bank gentry in Ukraine.

The process of transcribing a language represented in its spatial form of graphical characters into its symbolic representation is called handwriting recognition. Each script has a collection of characters or letters, often known as symbols, that all share the same fundamental shapes. Handwriting analysis aims to correctly identify input characters or images before being analysed by various automated process systems. Recent research in image processing demonstrates the significance of image content retrieval. Optical character recognition (OCR) systems can extract text from photographs and transform that text to ASCII text. OCR is beneficial and essential in many applications, such as information retrieval systems and digital libraries.

This paper describes the design and performance of a circularly polarized antenna for satellite communication applications. The antenna design includes a monopole patch antenna, split ring resonator, defective ground surface and a metallic reflector. The antenna is designed to operate in multiple frequency bands and to have high gain. The metallic reflector is used to enhance the antenna gain by reflecting the signal in the same phase as the transmitted signal, thereby strengthening the signal. The antenna resonates in 4.4 GHz and 7.6 GHz frequency bands, making it suitable for satellite communication applications. The paper presents both simulated and measured results of the antenna's performance, including return loss, gain, VSWR and polarization characteristics. The paper provides a detailed analysis of antenna's performance, demonstrating its suitability for satellite communication applications. The use of a metallic reflector, the split ring resonator and defective ground surface design results into antenna's high gain and multiband operation.

To ensure data security and safeguard sensitive information in society, image encryption and decryption as well as pixel data modifications, are essential. To avoid misuse and preserve trust in our digital environment, it is crucial to use these technologies responsibly and ethically. So, to overcome some of the issues, the authors designed a way to modify pixel data that would hold the hidden information. The objective of this work is to change the pixel values in a way that can be used to store information about black and white image pixel data. Prior to encryption and decryption, by using Python we were able to construct a passcode with hand gestures in the air, then encrypt it without any data loss. It concentrates on keeping track of simply two pixel values. Thus, pixel values are slightly changed to ensure the masked image is not misleading. Considering that the RGB values are at their border values of 254, 255 the test cases of masking overcome issues with the corner values susceptibility.

In this article, we intend to demonstrate on digital active current control in ring laser gyros (RLG). The specific source errors that effect the performance of laser gyro is discussed. This work proposes a system of digital detection and control system to address deficiencies of the conventional analog circuits. The hardware framework is constructed using the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and the required analog interface, which incorporates driving and acquisition circuitry for the specific physics of gyros. The software flow is provided in full and uses the parallel PI (proportional-integral) control algorithms. The outcomes demonstrate that the precision of anode currents are accurately controlled within ±0.1µA along with cathode voltage, demonstrating that the performance of the digital system is superior to that of analog circuits, which will be very beneficial for the laser gyro application. The simulation results prove that the proposed approach has good result of balancing anode currents, meanwhile, it makes the sensor a good dynamic performance. In both anodes, the experimental findings are contrasted with balanced and unbalanced currents. The optimal constant current is obtained from the remarkable agreement between simulated and experimental results.

Published: June 2023

Security in the Internet of things (IoT) is a broad yet active research area that focuses on securing the sensitive data being circulated in the network. The data involved in the IoT network comes from various organizations, hospitals, etc., that require a higher range of security from attacks and breaches. The common solution for security attacks is using traditional cryptographic algorithms that can protect the content through encryption and decryption operations. The existing solutions are suffering from major drawbacks, including computational complexities, time and space complexities, slower encryption, etc. Therefore, to overcome such drawbacks, this paper introduces an efficient light weight cryptographic mechanism to secure the images of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being transmitted in the network. The mechanism involves major stages such as edge detection, key generation, encryption, and decryption. In the case of edge detection, the edge maps are detected using the Prewitt edge detection technique. Then the hybrid elliptic curve cryptography (HECC) algorithm is proposed to encrypt and secure the images being transmitted in the network. For encryption, the HECC algorithm combines blowfish with the elliptic curve algorithm to attain a higher range of security. Another significant advantage of the proposed method is selecting the ideal private key, which is achieved using the enhanced seagull optimization (ESO) algorithm. The proposed work has been tested in the Python tool, and the performance is evaluated with the Alzheimer’s dataset, and the outcomes proved its efficacy over the compared methods.
