Published: April 2023

Описано клінічну картину атипової форми рожевого лишаю Жибера – іритативну, що рідко зустрічається, у 18-річного курсанта військового університету. Вперше цю патологію описав Жибер у 1860 р. Він розглядав даний дерматоз як різновид поверхневої трихофітії гладенької шкіри. Однак російська та французька дерматологічні школи цю гіпотезу не підтримали. У нашому випадку пусковим механізмом виникнення і розвитку атипової форми рожевого лишаю Жибера був концентрований розчин хлористого вапна, з яким пацієнт контактував напередодні розвитку хвороби. Дар’є не рекомендував лікування цієї патології. Однак тяжкий загальний стан, виражені суб’єктивні симптоми (біль, свербіж в місцях висипу) стали приводом до призначення системної терапії в умовах стаціонару, після якої настало видужання протягом 4 тиж.

Authors: Starczewski Tomasz , Douša Milan , Lopata Ewelina
Published: April 2023

Motives: Rapid urbanisation and the associated spatial, environmental, and economic changes have shifted the researchers’ attention to modern cities. Urban green spaces are a vital component of sustainable development because they reduce noise, purify air, improve the local climate and rainwater quality, and provide numerous recreational and relaxation opportunities for the residents. The implementation of the green city concept can have a positive impact on both the environment and the quality of life in a city. Aim: The aim of the study was to analyse changes in the landscape and surface of urban green spaces, to present the structure of green areas, and to identify change trends in urban green spaces in the Polish city of Toruń and the Slovak city of Košice. The ecological resilience of the studied areas was also examined. Results: The results of the study indicate that the area occupied by urban green spaces (including urban green areas, sport and leisure facilities, and forests) continues to expand in the studied cities. The rate of increase was much higher, but still low, in the Slovak city of Košice. The analysis of change trends revealed that most industrial and commercial areas were developed in urban green spaces. At the same time, new green spaces were created mainly at the expense of semi-natural areas. Both Toruń and Košice are characterised by average landscape stability.

Currently, fused deposition modeling (FDM) has become a popular 3D printing technique for the fabrication of polymeric parts. In this technique, a polymer filament is melted and deposited layer-by-layer to form 3-dimensional objects. However, there are still limited number of polymer types that has been successfully used as a raw material for the FDM process. Up to now, there is still no filament made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) available in the market. Therefore, a preliminary study concerning the fabrication of such UHMWPE filament needs to be conducted. In this study, the influence of extrusion temperature used in the fabrication of UHMWPE filament on the physical, chemical, and tensile strength of such filament was studied. The extrusion process was carried out by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) and paraffin oil (PO) to improve the processability of UHMWPE material and with temperatures of 160 oC, 170 oC, and 180 °C. The result of examination by using electron microscope revealed that extrusion process of this polymer was running stable. The characterization by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated a decrease in the degree of filament crystallinity as the extrusion temperature decreased. The characterization by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated no changes in the chemical compositions over the filament products with the increasing extrusion temperature applied. Meanwhile, it is also indicated from this study that the maximum tensile strength decreased as the extrusion temperature got lower. In this case, the highest maximum tensile strength could be achived by the UHMWPE filament extruded with temperature of 180 °C, i.e., with an average tensile strength of 22.52 MPa.

The kitchen is a vital area that provides energy sources through food processing for residences. However, the cooking process can also produce pollutants that are harmful to the body. This study aims to investigate the concentration and distribution of contaminants (CO and CO2) generated from the kitchen to all rooms in the house. In addition, Air temperature and velocity are investigated to observe their relationship with the distribution of pollutants. The investigation procedure utilizes a numerical simulation of a dwelling with two different ventilation cases. The simulation results show no significant difference in air velocity between the two cases. While the addition of natural ventilation in the kitchen area can reduce CO and CO2 concentrations throughout the room by 25.8% and 24.9%, respectively. On the other hand, the indoor air temperature can also be reduced by 4.9% with the same treatment. In conclusion, the addition of a window in the kitchen area has a significant impact on reducing temperature and pollutant concentrations all over the room.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can manifest as diverse clinical phenotypes and is frequently caused by mutations in different genes, complicating differential diagnosis. This underlines the urgent need for valid biomarkers. Altered lysosomal and immune functions proposedly contribute to FTD pathogenesis. Cathepsins, including cathepsin S, are enzymes preferentially expressed in brain in microglia, which influence lysosomal and immune function. Here, we examined whether alterations in serum cathepsin S levels associate with specific clinical, genetic, or neuropathological FTD subgroups, but no such alterations were observed. However, further research on other lysosomal proteins may reveal new biologically relevant biomarkers in FTD.

Published: April 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is mainly characterized by cognitive deficits. Although many studies have been devoted to developing disease-modifying therapies, there has been no effective therapy until now. However, dietary interventions may be a potential strategy to treat AD. The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet with adequate protein. KD increases the levels of ketone bodies, providing an alternative energy source when there is not sufficient energy supply because of impaired glucose metabolism. Accumulating preclinical and clinical studies have shown that a KD is beneficial to AD. The potential underlying mechanisms include improved mitochondrial function, optimization of gut microbiota composition, and reduced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. The review provides an update on clinical and preclinical research on the effects of KD or medium-chain triglyceride supplementation on symptoms and pathophysiology in AD. We also detail the potential mechanisms of KD, involving amyloid and tau proteins, neuroinflammation, gut microbiota, oxidative stress, and brain metabolism. We aimed to determine the function of the KD in AD and outline important aspects of the mechanism, providing a reference for the implementation of the KD as a potential therapeutic strategy for AD.

Published: April 2023

Wheel mobile robots have been widely applied to many areas of life, from serving people in services and industrial logistics to military fields. Applications of wheeled mobile robots such as floor cleaning robots, supermarket robots, logistics robots in hospitals, autonomous robots that guide automatic guidance in intelligent factories, military robots and agricultural robots. Thereby, we can see the great potential of mobile robots in the future. However, among the wheel mobile robots, the differential-drive mobile robot structure is most commonly used because of its simplicity in structure and control. Nevertheless, the navigation and driving are done synchronously through the two drive wheels, which leads to slippage and difficulty in controlling posture errors when navigating, especially on roads curved with a small radius. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the steering and navigation of differential-drive mobile robots, the structure of the automobile has been applied to design a wheel-mobile robot called a car-like robot. Many studies have shown that the advantage of this design option is that the navigation control and robot drive are separated. As a result, the dynamic control loop can ignore the navigation part, while the kinematic model determines the navigation law. Therefore, the work proposes the design of a PID controller with time-varying parameters for a car-like robot to track a given trajectory with minimum error. The nonlinear kinematic model of the robot is linearized along a reference trajectory, and the obtained linear model is used in the controller design process. A PID controller is designed where the controller parameters are tuned to minimize the tracking error. Our model achieves a tracking error value, including the minor position is 5.1 mm, and the maximum postural error is 2o. The simulation results showed the proposed controller's effectiveness in position and posture errors, and it shows we can apply this research to control car-like mobile robots in logistics services.

Authors: Ismail Marwa M. , Elwi Taha A. , Salim Ali J.
Published: April 2023

The subject matter of the article is the analysis and design of a via free metamaterial antenna based on a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structure. The goal is to design a high-gain antenna with dual-band resonance capable of changing its resonance frequency and gain adaptively. The tasks to be solved are creating an antenna with a high gain-bandwidth product along the operated band, achieving adaptive frequency reconfiguration and creating a direct antenna modulation process using active elements. The simulation methods used are: the proposed antenna is designed by integrating a CRLH-TL structure to a 1D array based on two types of unit cells: The first unit cell is realized from a Hilbert curve of the 3rd order, and the second one is based on the 1st order of Minkowski – stepped impedance resonator (SIR). The antenna parts are printed on a Taconic RF-43 substrate with thickness = 1.57 mm. The following results were obtained: The Hilbert/Minkowski–SIR antenna achieved dual-band operation with a maximum gain equal to 14 dBi and 18 dBi at 5 GHz and 5.5 GHz, respectively. Furthermore, by changing the states of the PIN diode, an amplitude shift keying direct antenna modulation process is achieved; for instance, at 5 GHz, the antenna can change its gain directly in the range from (12-14) dBi with good impedance matching. Finally, the proposed antenna shows a low profile and operates at different frequency bands within sub-6 GHz applications. Conclusions. The simulation results indicate that such antenna performance enhancement is the result of eliminating via conduction losses, ground plane capacitance losses and suppressing surface wave reflections due to the Hilbert/Minkowski SIR introduction.

The results of research on creative mathematical thinking were analyzed and the expediency of studying the psychological essence of the interaction of thought processes of understanding and forecasting when solving creative mathematical problems was ascertained.The aim of the article is to find out the psychological essence of the inte­raction of thought processes of understanding and forecasting in creative ma­thematical thinking. To study the interaction of the processes of understanding and forecasting in mathematical thinking, the method of analyzing students’ search actions du­ring solving creative mathematical problems of different classes was used.the results of the research. It was established that creative mathematical thinking is a complete system of interrelated actions, with the help of which the thinking mathematical result is achieved.It was established that the processes of understanding mathematical prob-lems and predicting thinking results function throughout the entire process of solving mathematical problems.It was found that the content of search actions aimed at understanding the problem and predicting thinking results depend on the stages of solving the problem (study of the condition, search for a solution, verification of the found solution), in which their procedural and dynamic side is not only manifested, but is also being formed. At the same time, the process of understanding a creative mathematical problem and the process of forecasting are complementary.It is established that the understanding of the condition of the problem forms the content of forecasting actions, and the process of forecasting cont­ributes to the formation of understanding of the mathematical problem. It was established that in the search mathematical process it is not possible to record such a state of understanding of the problem that would ensure the emergence of a hypothesis regarding the solution.It has been found that forecasting, which takes place throughout the en-tire search process, can generate a solution hypothesis at different stages of the solution, with different states of understanding of the mathematical problem.The hypothesis of solving the problem is an indicator of the state of un-derstanding of the problem, and its approbation contributes to deepening the understanding of the essence of the problem itself. At the same time, the content of the hypothesis, its approval determines the state of understanding of the problem.conclusion. The process of the subject’s understanding of a creative math-ematical problem and the process of prediction take place throughout all stages of the solution process and are mutually complementary.

The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. Also, in our research we used empirical methods, such as statement experiment.the results of the research. It was shown, that the concept “facilitation” reflects a conscious and purposeful activity as a phenomenon characteristic, first of all, of a teacher. Thus, we singled out the attributes of facilitation: 1) cogni-tive activity; 2) the subject of the activity; 3) the functions of the subject; 4) the object of the activity; 5) the motives of the activity; 6) the purpose of the activity; 7) functions of the activity; 8) the ways of performing activities; 9) methods of activity implementation (and means relevant for the implementation of these activities); 11) the result of the activity.conclusions. We showed the characteristics of facilitative interaction. We proved, that the Activity was the basis, means and positive condition for the development of the Personality. The Activity is the expedient transformation of the surrounding reality of people. We call activity “a unit of life”, mediated by the process of mental reflection. Also, outside activity there are neither means of the activity, nor signs, nor objects of art; there are no people outside the activity.Therefore, the activity is a purposeful, multi­level human activity. “Pur-poseful” is because “the subject” appears as its goal. “Multi­level” is because it includes into its structure of actions, secondary motivation, determined by the purpose and the tasks of the activity. And this, in turn, ensures the actualization of the main goal­motive of the activity by the individual. And, finally, the opera-tion of the activity differs from the action in that it is not marked by a goal, but by the conditions of the activity in which this goal is explained. It is very necessary to distinguish the actions from the activities and from operations.

The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: the categorical method, structural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, modeling, generalization. The experimental method was the method of organi­zing empirical research.the results of the research. We proved that the reasons of a low level of validity of opinions and judgments by pupils are: 1) unsuccessful organization of the discussion at the English language classes; 2) as a consequence of the first reason – pupils are not familiar with the discussion as a form of educational ac-tivity, they do not know how to behave at such a lesson, and most often choose a standard position of a “pupil” who listens carefully to the teacher, answers his/her questions concisely, clearly, regardless of schoolchild’s point of view; 3) 68% of pupils do not understand why they need to justify their opinions (because they always express only those opinions that are in their textbooks or that were expressed by the teacher at the previous lesson); 4) 32% of schoolchildren are afraid to substantiate their statement “incorrectly”, “ not methodically” and to get a bad mark.conclusions. We distinguish, on the one hand, a dialogue, and on the other one – a simple conversation. A dialogue is understood as a mutual communica-tion that has specific features: thematic focus or a problem solving, getting two­way information, the combination of thematic focus with two­way transmission of information that helps to solve a common problem in any way. Also we distin-guish between linguistic and psychological understanding of a dialogue, empha-sizing that in the process of psychological studying of a dialogue it is necessary to pay a great attention to both the informative exchange between partners and the features of their relationships, in particular their aspect of role interaction.

Based on the center of hippotherapy "Berehynia Polissia" (Zhytomyr, Ukraine), a study was conducted on the preparation and organization of feeding of Hutsul horses used in hippotherapy to prepare children with psychoneurological disorders for an inclusive educational process. The analysis of animal feeding systems was developed and carried out, and the leading indicators of the growth and development of horses were determined using generally accepted zootechnical methods. The data obtained were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. The determined values of the indices of the body structure of horses corresponded to the characteristics of the Hutsul breed. The physiological parameters of the animals allowed for convenient interaction and practical therapeutic sessions with children. The organized feeding provided for feeding the animals in sufficient quantities of feed with high biological value, which is necessary to meet the needs of the horses for energy, organic, mineral, and biologically active substances. In the structure of winter rations, roughage accounted for 67.3 %, root crops for 6.5 %, and concentrates for 26.2 %. In the summer rations, the share of roughage ranged from 57.3 to 61.7 %, fodder beet – about 6.1 %, and concentrated feed – from 24.43–25.78 %. The premix was fed within 1% of the total nutritional value. The daily salt content in the horses' diets ranged from 30 to 40 g. It was found that the consumption of an appropriate amount of metabolic energy, organic matter, and mineral elements by horses during active exercise helps to maintain their condition at a level of average fatness. The horses demonstrated a therapeutic effect, confirmed by an experimental study. In particular, 83.3 % of children with neuropsychiatric disorders had an average level of adaptation to the inclusive educational process, 10.4 % had a high level, and 6.3 % had a low level.

Published: April 2023

One of the conditions for successfully managing rabbit breeding is ensuring the epizootological well-being of farms concerning invasive animal diseases. Helminthiases, protozooses, and acaroses cause significant economic damage to the industry due to a decrease in the biological value of rabbit meat and skins, a delay in growth, development, and a decrease in the growth of young animals, as well as their death. Carrying out epizootic monitoring and assessment of the epizootic situation in different regions of Ukraine is one of the main preventive measures, which, based on the results of the study of the epizootic state, analysis of veterinary reports, and the results of laboratory tests, will allow effective treatment and prevention of invasive diseases in rabbit farms. The purpose of the work was to conduct monitoring studies of the epizootic situation regarding rabbit parasitoses in the territory of some areas of Ukraine. It was established that the total incidence of domestic rabbits by parasitoses was 36.27 %. The weight of infestations caused by the simplest organisms was the highest, reaching 81.96 %. The specific weight of infestations caused by acariform mites, nematodes, and cestodes was insignificant and amounted to 9.88 %, 7.3 %, and 0.86 %, respectively. Among the protozooses – eimeriosis, nematodoses – pasalurosis, cestodoses – cysticercosis, acaroses –psoroptosis were found in rabbits. High indicators of the extensiveness of animal invasion were established for eimeriosis (50.23 %). Smaller values of infestation of rabbits were found for psoroptosis (18.0 %) and pasalurosis (16.87 %). For pysiform cysticercosis, the extent of invasion was insignificant – 5.97 %. Indicators of the extensiveness of invasions in different regions of Ukraine ranged from 15.28 to 100.0 % for eimeriosis, from 4.35 to 100.0 % for pasalurosis, from 50.0 to 100.0 % for cysticercosis, and from psoroptosis 11.54 to 100.0 %. The obtained results of monitoring studies on the epizootic status of invasive rabbit diseases on the territory of Ukraine indicate the relevance and perspective of further studying the distribution of parasite fauna in the population of domestic rabbits, taking into account the climatic conditions of different regions, the way rabbits are kept, their age and season.

The article presents experimental data on the mineral composition of tissues of honey bees under the conditions of magnesium citrate feeding. The research was conducted in two stages on bees of the Carpathian breed. The first stage was carried out on five groups of bees, 196–249 in each, under a laboratory thermostat. Bees of the control (I) group received daily 1 ml of 50 % sugar syrup (SS) and 1 ml of H2O; II group (experimental) – 1 ml of SS with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate containing 0.4 mg Mg/l; III group (experimental) – similarly to II with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate (2 mg Mg/l); IV group (experimental) – similarly to II with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate (3 mg Mg/l); Group V (experimental) is similar to II with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate (4 mg Mg/l). The bees of the control and experimental groups were kept in identical conditions of a laboratory thermostat TS-80M-3 with micro ventilation at a relative humidity of 75 % and a temperature of 30.0 °С during 20 days of the research. The following II stages of the study were conducted on four groups of bees, 25–30 in each. Bees of the control (I) group received daily 1 ml of 50 % SS and 1 ml of H2O; II group (experimental) – 1 ml of SS with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate containing 0.04 mg Mg/l; III group (experimental) – similarly to II with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate (0.02 mg Mg/l); IV group (experimental) – similarly to II with the addition of 1 ml of Mg citrate (0.01 mg Mg/l). Bees of the control and experimental groups were kept in the same conditions of the TS-80M-3 laboratory thermostat as in the I stage. The study duration was 20 days in the I stage and 30 days in the II stage. Bees were selected from all groups to determine the content of microelements in tissue homogenates of their entire body. The results were processed statistically using the Microsoft Excel computer program. According to the study results, the Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn content in the body tissues of bees differed between groups. Decreased content of Ferrum, Zinc, and Manganese was found in the bees of III and V experimental groups (I stage). According to the results of the II stage of research on the determination of the content of Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn in the tissues of the entire body of bees, the inhibitory effect of lower doses of Mg citrate on the accumulation of these elements in their body was observed. The established changes in the bee tissues of the experimental groups compared to the control group indicate certain physiological features of the accumulation and distribution of the studied trace elements in the body of the bees during their feeding with nanotechnological magnesium citrate.

The article provides data on the comparative assessment of the study of acute and subacute dermal toxicity of powder for wounds made based on iodoform by various methods. The research was conducted using the classic method and according to the methodology of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD No. 410). When studying acute skin toxicity using the traditional method, it was established that the drug under study belongs to the IV toxicity class (low-toxic substances) and, when determined by the way according to the UGS (GHS) – to category 5. During long-term dermal application of powder for wounds, no significant changes in hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value, the average concentration of hemoglobin in erythrocytes (MCHC), the average volume of erythrocytes (MCV), the average content of hemoglobin in erythrocytes (MCH) and several platelets were established by the classical method. In addition, a slight increase in creatinine, urea, and the activity of ALT and AST was established against a slight decrease in the total protein content. When studying the acute toxicity of powder for wounds following the OECD method No. 410, it was confirmed that long-term dermal application of the investigated agent caused a slight increase in the weight coefficients of the liver, heart, and spleen and a probable increase in the weight coefficients of the kidneys against the background of a decrease in the body weight of animals. Also, in animals of all experimental groups, the number of erythrocytes increased by 0.6 %, 5.1 %, and 10.5 % (Р < 0.05), respectively, and the number of leukocytes decreased by 15.9 % (Р < 0.05), 21.8 % (Р < 0.05), 23.4 % (Р < 0.05), mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) by 2.4 %, 4.2 %, 9.2 % (Р < 0,05). When determining the biochemical indicators of blood serum, it was established that using the research product for 28 days caused a slight decrease in the total protein content in animals of the I, II, and III research groups. In addition, the animals of all experimental groups showed an increase in the level of creatinine, respectively, by – 10.6 % (Р < 0.05), 13.3 % (Р < 0.05), 15.4 % (Р < 0.05), urea at – 3.3 %, 7.3 % (Р < 0.05), 12.6 % (Р < 0.05).

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of scientific productions that address the knowledge of indigenous peoples about stingless bees in different ethnicities, in the Brazilian territory, through bibliometric analysis. Thus, we sought to answer the following question: what are the characteristics of scientific publications with the theme in question found in the databases in the research tools? As descriptors, the following keywords were used: “Brazilian Indigenous Knowledge and Stingless Bees”, in the databases of Google Scholar and Scopus, totaling 18 (eighteen) scientific productions, in Spanish, English and Portuguese, with no year limit, and the survey was conducted in October and November 2022. As a result, we obtained: 10 (ten) (56%) scientific articles, 2 (two) (11%) master’s dissertations, 2 (two) (11%) doctoral thesis and 4 (four) (22%) scientific papers published in annals of events, covering the period from 1982 to 2020, notifying the representativeness of the unconventional literature in this research. The study evidenced the contribution of Higher Education Institutions – federal public HEIs and the little performance of state HEIs with research on the subject, in addition to large gaps with regard to: the time and evolution of publications, the periodicity of journals and, especially, the geographical scenario with the presence of indigenous ethnicities in their relations with stingless bees in the Brazilian territory. The importance of greater openness of databases to the dissemination of knowledge of traditional peoples and communities is highlighted.
БІНАУРАЛЬНІ РИТМИ В МУЗИЧНІЙ ТЕРАПІЇ: ДЖЕРЕЛОЗНАВЧИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: РАДКО Юрій
Published: April 2023

У цій статті аналізуються провідні дослідження бінауральних ритмів та їх потенційне застосування в музичній терапії. Використання бінауральних ритмів у музиці показало позитивний вплив на когнітивні здібності, настрій, стрес, тривогу та навіть фізичний біль. Крім того, інтеграція бінауральних ритмів у різні форми музичних композицій показала потенціал для сприяння зціленню та самопізнанню, що позитивно впливає на самопочуття та якість життя слухача. Наскрізною проблемою дослідження є відсутність стандартизації та послідовності у використанні бінауральних ритмів в музиці. Використані бінауральні ритми в музиці мають значну різноманітність у частотах, тривалості та інтенсивності, що ускладнює порівняння та повторення результатів різних досліджень. Крім того, індивідуальні відмінності в чутливості та реагуванні на бінауральні ритми також можуть вплинути на результати дослідження. Зазначені обмеження та проблеми потребують вирішення для подальшого розвитку цієї галузі досліджень. Методологічною основою дослідження є спеціальні та загальнонаукові методи: бібліографічної евристики, аналізу, що дозволяє знайти релевантну літературу та визначити наукову дискусію; опису – дозволяє детально проаналізувати вплив бінауральних ритмів на синхронізацію мозкових хвиль; інтегративний – дозволяє отримати цілісну картину впливу бінауральних ритмів на людину; логіко-семантичний – для визначення сутності поняття «бінауральні ритми». У статті визначено, що бінауральні ритми в музиці є багатообіцяючою сферою дослідження з потенційним застосуванням для покращення когнітивної діяльності, сприяння розслабленню, зменшення стресу та тривоги та сприяння зціленню. Хоча все ще є проблеми, які потрібно вирішити, зростаюча кількість досліджень бінауральних ритмів у музиці свідчить про те, що ця технологія може мати далекосяжні наслідки для музичної терапії.

Наше сьогодення надсилає молодому поколінню меседжі швидкоплинного бачення збереження фундаментального пласту народної української музики, яка увібрала мужню столітню історію, яскраву і різнобарвну сучасність та незрозумілу і таємну майбутність. Тема народної української музики завжди актуальна, розкриває могутній потенціал можливостей і поєднання інколи непоєднуваного, тому що заснована на історичній пам’яті, етнічній особливості та свободи духу. Народна україніка в музиці, для кожного українця, це вираз гордості та незламності, прагнення свободи та процвітання, приклад доброти і мужності. Важливим і актуальним напрямком музичної творчості, в час стрімкої інформатизації та технічного розвитку є спрямованість сучасного культурного суспільства на збереження національної спадщини і напрямок на посилення українських народних пріоритетів, виховання молодого покоління в дусі свободи та незалежності. Постійна історична пам'ять, її пошана та вивчення яскравих патріотичних подій повинна постійно бути на слуху для майбутнього покоління. В досліджені, шляхом соціально-культурного поєднання народної української музики, на основі опитування проводиться аналіз значимості музичної ідентичності в українському суспільстві. В статті розглянуті методи основ визначення, поєднання та формування народної української музики, структурний аналіз взаємозв'язку народної україніки з сучасністю. Вивчення та аналіз розуміння українським суспільством масштаб і глобальність місії українства перегортає сторінку сьогодення. Переосмислення значимості існування, несення української культури у світ, особливо української музики, як камерної так і народної, актуально і важливо. Україніка піднімає дух народності, загострює необхідність збереження історичної пам’яті для майбутнього покоління.
