Mechanical and morphological properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites
Authors: Salih Abeer Adel , Zulkifli Rozli , Azhari Che Husna 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. The challenge in this paper is that there has been very limited research done on the effect of fibre loading on the mechanical properties of natural bamboo mesoparticles as reinforcement for nylon 6 in order to reduce the cost of production while maintaining the high composite mechanical properties. The average size of the bamboo mesoparticles used was 0.25 μm. The mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites were prepared by mixing bamboo mesoparticles and nylon 6 using a laboratory blender mixer machine, followed by preparation of samples using an injection moulding machine. The fibre loadings were 9 wt.%, 13 wt.%, and 18 wt.%. The mechanical properties of the composites examined were tensile, flexural, and impact properties, while tensile fracture surfaces of the mesocomposites were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that 13 wt.% fibre loading has the best tensile strength and modulus with improvements of 15% and 25%, respectively, compared to neat nylon 6. A slight increase in the flexural strength and modulus with increasing fibre loading from 9 to 13 wt.% was observed. However, a lack of performance was observed in the impact strength of the bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. Electron microscopic examination revealed no filler clumping aggregation and less void formation when 13 wt.% fibre loading was used, which indicates that a relatively high amount of energy was consumed to break the 13 wt.% bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. Overall, the results indicated that the tensile and mechanical properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites increased with increased fibre loadings.
Evolution of γ′ morphology and γ/γ′ lattice parameter misfit in a nickel-based superalloy during non-equilibrium cooling
Authors: Rakoczy Łukasz , Cempura Grzegorz , Kruk Adam , Czyrska-Filemonowicz Aleksandra , Zielińska-Lipiec Anna 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The change of γ′ phase morphology in quenched Ni-based superalloy strengthened by γ′ precipitates was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Lattice parameters of γ and γ′ phases and subsequently the δ parameter were calculated. Relatively high content of gamma prime formers resulted in a substantially high volume fraction of precipitates in the dendrite cores. The volume fraction of γ′ phase was significantly decreased due to dissolution of precipitates in the surrounding matrix, as a result of short-term subsolidus exposure. The lattice parameter of γ′ phase was higher than that of γ phase, which results in a positive δ parameter in fully heat treated (FHT) and also FHT+ Quench conditions. For (200) and (220) reflections the γ/γ′ misfit was lower in the FHT + Q sample.
Corrosion behavior of stir-cast Al–TiB2 metal matrix composites
Authors: Poria Suswagata , Sutradhar Goutam , Sahoo Prasanta 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The present study evaluates the corrosion behavior of Al–TiB2 metal matrix composites in 3.5% NaCl solution. Composites are fabricated using stir-casting with varying wt.% of TiB2. Composite surfaces are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Micro-hardness values of composites are obtained using a Vicker's micro-hardness tester. The hardness of the base matrix is enhanced due to the incorporation of hard TiB2 phase. Corrosion characteristics of composites are investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Corrosion resistance of composites is estimated from the parameters such as corrosion potential, corrosion current, linear polarization resistance etc. Corrosion resistance of the base alloy improves due to incorporation of TiB2 but only up to a certain amount of TiB2 phase in the matrix. The composite with 1 wt.% TiB2 shows the highest corrosion resistance. Corroded surfaces are studied using SEM images that reveal localized pitting corrosion on composite surfaces.

The European identity formation in Ukraine
Authors: Kovryk-Tokar Larysa 
Published: December 2018

Every nation is quite diverse in terms of his historical destiny, spiritual priorities, and cultural heritage. However, voluntary European integration, which is the final aim of political integration that began in the second half of the twentieth century from Western Europe, provided for an availability of large number of characteristics in common in political cultures of their societies. Therefore, Ukraine needs to find some common determinants that can create inextricable relationship between the European Community and Ukraine. Although Ukrainian culture is an intercultural weave of two East macrocivilizations, according to the author, Ukraine tends to Western-style society with its openness, democracy, tolerance, which constitute the basic values of Europeans.

Ukrainian Scientific Society in intellectual space late nineteenth – early twentieth century
Authors: Zaytseva Zinayida 
Published: December 2018

This article examines creation of «Scientific Society named after Taras Shevchenko in Lviv» and «Ukrainian Scientific Society in Kiev». Trends of their activity witch provide joining with global academic community are discoursed. Particular attention is paid to the role of M.Hrushevskyi in establishment of scientific and academic foundations of Ukrainian scientific societies functioning. It is proved that in the XIX century science has become an almost ideological monopoly that shaped not only the natural cosmological segment of people's world outlook, but also an understanding of reality that shaped the socioeconomic and political strategies for its reform or even revolutionary transformation. It is determined that this attitude impressed the Ukrainian national intelligentsia. The conclusions note that the foundations of scientific institutions were perceived by intellectuals of oppressed nations as a means of national-cultural liberation, the positioning of their nation among civilized nations. Convincing object-object orientation of scientific publications of NTU and CNT caused their recognition by the academic world. Imperative observance of academic performance parameters by Ukrainian societies formed their functional equivalents with academies of sciences, contributed to the incorporation of these societies into the world scientific space, establishing dialogue with the culture and science of Europe. The scientific reputation of Ukrainian societies is confirmed by the membership of a number of outstanding foreign scientists in them.

National minorities political rights in the context of decentralization of power in the Eastern European countries
Authors: Kuzub Halyna 
Published: December 2018

The question of political minorities rights is always crucial for European countries because of mutual history and border changes. Almost each of these countries are characterized by small groups of ethnic minorities who are living in boarding areas. Some representatives of these ethnic groups have separatistic points of view during the years. In some European countries situation becomes even more complicated because of assimilation policy which was provided by the former Soviet Union.
Decentralization is transferring of authorities to the local levels what is other serious accelerator of the questions of political minorities rights. The question of our research work is if the impact of decentralization process matches political minorities rights in Eastern Europe? In the present study we analyze the results of administrative and territorial reforms in Poland, the Czech Republic , Slovakia and we also took into consideration the impact of ethnic factor within new administrative and territorial division.
In conclusions author emphasizes that in Eastern Europe new division process mostly happened without taking into account historical areas where small groups of political minorities lived. Author also draws our attention to the possible separatism, which can be the reason of articulation of national minorities will, who live near the borders to other countries as to unite in some areas.

Gender priorities in the structure of the humanitarian component of the society development
Authors: Marusyk Tamara 
Published: December 2018

In this article the author investigates the main aspects of the society humanitarian development through the prism of gender priorities. On the legislative basis of the United Nations Organization, UNESCO and EU the formation of the gender culture on the international level is interpreted. The author also pays attention to the international institution’s activity in gender problems and points out the importance of taking into consideration the world society background in this field to be used on the national level.
Analyzing the Ukrainian normative and legislative basis in the mentioned problem the peculiarity of the gender steps used in education, science and culture are shown. It is proved that the ways of state gender policy functioned in Ukraine are not always supported by state structures. Structures that haven’t made their own mechanisms of gender policy realization yet, especially in the humanitarian sphere. Moreover, the gender policy model needs more thorough working-out taking into consideration both international experience and national identity in social and economical, society and political and cultural development of the state and its citizens.
Having defined the gender stereotypes as the social norms it is proved that their spreading is a “setback” on the way of social request for gender policy formation. The steps that show the gender equality and the extension of women rights and possibilities in different spheres, first of all in the humanitarian one, are challenged with their misunderstanding both by people that might realize mentioned steps and the society in particular.

The monument to Lesya Ukrayinka as a symbol of Chernivtsi-Saskatoon universities’ fruitful collaboration
Authors: Makar Yuriy 
Published: December 2018

While writing his memoir, the author highlights the root causes of Collaboration University of Saskatchewan and State University of Chernivtsi Agreement. In June, 1977 on behalf of Professor Konstiantyn Chervinskyi – the-then Rector of State University of Chernivtsi, the author had the honour to meet in Kyiv Robert Begg – the President of University of Saskatchewan. What is more, during this crucial meeting the author initiated the talks concerning further fruitful collaboration between universities.
Interestingly, the actual inter-university collaboration has started taking its shape since 1976, when a bronze statue of Lesya Ukrayinka, made in Kyiv (Ukraine in former USSR) by sculptor Halyna Kalchenko and architect Anatoliy Ihnashchenko, was unveiled at the University of Saskatchewan (Sascatoon). The monument was presented to the University by the Association for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad. Significantly, it was the Association that invited the Rector of University of Saskatchewan and his wife to pay an official visit to Ukraine. The Rector himself suggested signing the agreement with one of the universities of West Ukraine. Symbolically, State University of Chernivtsi was targeted by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Of particular value were the provisions of University of Saskatchewan agreement. They supported the study of the language, culture and history of Ukraine. Furthermore, the agreement aimed at academic and cultural exchanges of faculty, scholars and students at the post-secondary level. This was unprecedented formal agreement between a North American university and a university in Ukraine.
Noteworthy, Collaboration agreement was solemnly concluded by both Rectors on June 5, 1977 in compliance with the sticking points of the Canadian part. Regrettably, the former USSR’s (Mocsow) authorities amended the agreement, excluding the point of students’ exchange program. In terms of the Canadian students, they were able to come and study at State University of Chernivtsi; our students, however, were forbidden to cross the borders of the USSR. Instead, the faculty of our university enjoyed the right to go on their sabbatical to Saskatoon. Paying the tribute to University of Saskatchewan, the author extends his gratitude to its authorities. Nevertheless, after the USSR collapse, the students of State University of Chernivtsi got an excellent opportunity to study in Canada. To conclude, the Agreement prolongs its validity. To be more precise, the Chernivtsi-Saskatoon Universities’ Collaboration Agreement will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2017. According to the author, the agreement has quite a reasonable right to be extended.

Political Mechanisms of the Integration of Russian Nationalism into Crimea’s Political Area
Authors: Rotar Nataliia 
Published: December 2018

In the article the author defined the peculiar properties and structure of the political mechanisms for the integration of Russian nationalism into Crimea’s Political Area in 1991-2014. It is proved that Russian nationalism formed a political strategy of integration into the political space of the Ukrainian autonomy on the principles of creating a manageable set of actors and subjects of the regional political process and civil space, as well as the incorporation of its agents of influence into the institutions of political power of the ARC. It is substantiated that the essence of the political component of the strategy of the activities of Russian imperial nationalism in the Crimea consisted in the creation on the basis of the Russian national minority (by status) of an independent ethno-social organism with a claim to its own state-territorial formation.
In the conclusions, the author notes that structurally, the process of using the political mechanisms for the integration of Russian nationalism in the ARC is presented in three consecutive stages. At the first stage, the political goals of Russian nationalism in the Crimea were identified, which were of an imperial nature, and therefore included the definition of key directions and a system of organizational measures that were oriented toward the political, economic, ethno-national, sociocultural and information spheres of life in the Crimean peninsula. At the second stage, the political institutes of the Russian Federation developed a system of advanced initiatives aimed at weakening the influence of the institutions of Ukraine's political power on the territory of the autonomy and a set of tactical methods that enabled them to react quickly to the actual challenges of pro-Ukrainian initiatives. At the third stage, a system of effective mechanisms of lobbying, institutional interaction, forms, methods and methods of reproducing the meanings of Russian imperial nationalism in the ARC at the level of all levels of the given social space – political, ethnonational, socio-cultural and economic – was formed.

The 13th of December 1981 in the political history of Poland: view through 35 years
Authors: Strutynsky Vladislav 
Published: December 2018

By analyzing one of the most eventful periods of the modern history of Poland, the early 80s of the XX century, the author examines the dynamics of social and political conflict on the eve of the introduction of martial law, which determines the location of the leading political forces in these events in Poland, that were grouped around the Polish United Labor Party and the Independent trade union «Solidarity», their governing structures and grassroots organizations, highlighting the development of socio-political situation in the country before entering the martial law on the 13th of December and analyzing the relation of the leading countries to the events, especially the Soviet Union.
Also, the author distinguishes causes that prevent to reach the compromise in the process of realization different programs, that were offered to public and designed by PUWP and «Solidarity» and were “aimed” to help Polish society to exit an unprecedented conflict.
This article provides a comparative analysis of the different analytical meaningful reasons, offered by historians, political scientists, lawyers, and led to the imposition of martial law in the Republic of Poland. The author also analyses the legality of such actions by the state and some conclusions that were reached by scientists, investigating the internal dynamics of the conflict and the process of implementation of tasks, that Polish United Workers’ Party (which ruled at that time) tried to solve with martial law and «Solidarity» was used as self-determination in Polish society.

Gender identity as a subject of communicative politics
Authors: Tsikul Iryna 
Published: December 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of "social" and "private" and the definition of constructive mechanisms that influence the structure of society and social relations. The ratio of private and public is the main structural feature of the feminist approach to the analysis of society. The problem of public and private is especially relevant in the context of political science, because it is at the intersection of public and private life that gender identity is formed, standardized patterns of courage and femininity arise. Gender studies develop and popularize stereotypes related to gender differences, introduce them into social and political relations, and create dichotomies. Considering the public and private sphere through the prism of gender studies, we disclose the main aspects of contemporary criticism of these spheres in a theoretical and political context.
Public and private are multifaceted phenomena that can be analyzed from a variety of positions. Personal attitudes are manifested in the appearance and behavior of people, in media and political discourses, in scientific and theoretical models. They change, most often imperceptibly, the perception of both individual subjects and entire institutions. In our time, if we are talking about politics and identity on public and personal, on the theory and practice, it is necessary to take into account the real relations of power, the genesis of categories and discover the origins of inequality and discrimination.
