Complex methodology of parameters management of military radio networks in the conditions of uncertainty of the radioelectronic situation

The experience of the Joint Forces operation (Anti-terrorist operation in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts) shows that the current order of management of military radio communication systems does not always meet the modern requirements for them. The classic centralized approach to the management of channel and network resources of military radio systems does not quite meet modern requirements, so the authors of this article proposed to take mobile self-organizing networks as a basic principle of construction. The authors propose a comprehensive method of managing the parameters of military radio networks in conditions of uncertainty of the electronic environment, the essence of which is to ensure the maintenance of the specified values of the performance of military radio communication systems at the appropriate level. The article is based on the control principle, which is described in the reference network model of open systems interaction, but with some additions and changes. This approach generally allows for end-to-end management of channel and network resources of military radio systems in a complex electronic environment. In the article, the device of fuzzy logic, the theory of electronic suppression, neural networks, the theory of noise protection, the theory of antennas, noise-resistant coding are used. The proposed complex methodology should be used in the development of software for modules (units) for the assessment of advanced radio communications, based on open architecture interfaces version SCA 2.2, which will: use effective signal-code structures to ensure noise immunity of channels; to ensure efficient use of the radio frequency resource of programmable radio communication means; increase the speed of evaluation of communication channels; reduce the use of computing resources of radio communications with programmable architecture.

СУКУПНІСТЬ ПОКАЗНИКІВ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ КІБЕРБЕЗПЕКИ В ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-ТЕЛЕКОМУНІКАЦІЙНИХ МЕРЕЖАХ ЗБРОЙНИХ СИЛ УКРАЇНИ

The article discusses the topical issue of improving the set of indicators of the cyber security system in information and telecommunication networks. Analyzed the latest research and publications on this issue. The analysis and experience of the anti-terrorist operation and the operation of the Joint Forces in the East of Ukraine shows that in the conditions of modern hostilities, the effective functioning of the cyber security system will be in a harsh time frame and increased spatial distances between information and telecommunication nodes and in conditions of electronic and fire exposure of the enemy.It was also found that, in the general case, the number of indicators of the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in information and telecommunication networks exceeds several dozen. The article presents their systematization and grouping according to the relevant criteria. The article discusses a methodological approach to solving an applied problem, which is based on the application of the method of convolution of performance indicators. An integral indicator of efficiency is proposed, a criterion for assessing the efficiency of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.The proposed improved set of indicators of the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which, in contrast to the existing ones, takes into account additional indicators that are due to the peculiarities of conducting operations in modern conditions and also comprehensively characterizes the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This makes it possible to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole, individual elements and its components and their contribution to the overall level of efficiency of the communication system.

Шляхи вирішення проблемних питань розмінування території України

Based on statistics provided by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the beginning in the area of the anti-terrorist operation, the combat losses amounted up to 10,710 servicemen, of which 2,333 were killed. There are about 10,000 civilian deaths in the 2,300 military personnel killed. During the period of demining operations, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine inspected 133 hectares of territory for the presence of explosive devices, 72,866 units of explosive objects were detected and neutralized (destroyed).From 2014 to 2018, 942 servicemen were killed and wounded on explosive devices in Donetsk and Luhansk regions (10% of the combat losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine), and more than 110 units of military equipment were destroyed and damaged.The purpose of the article is to find ways to address the issues of demining of the territory of Ukraine and increase the efficiency of demining, considering the experience of engineering support units of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the anti-terrorist operation.The main possible ways to increase the efficiency of demining of the territory of Ukraine in modern conditions are:improvement of the existing normative-legal base of mine action, for which it is necessary to determine the personnel and start the work of the State Commission on Technogenic-Ecological Safety and Emergencies, which is the National Body on these issues;streamlining the implementation of mine action tasks of military (civilian) formations of other ministries and departments, state and commercial organizations on the territory of Ukraine.

Features of Through-Wall Radars Development for Detecting of Moving Objects behind Optically Opaque Barriers

Detecting people behind optically opaque barriers is an urgent task of the modern world. It allows to solve problems in the following areas: conducting anti-terrorist operations, searching people under rubble and avalanches, security measures. This article describes the device features developed on the basis of the radio wave methods usage, which makes it possible to detect moving objects behind optically opaque obstacles. The performance of the instrument is improved over the prototype broadband radar for detecting people behind optically opaque obstacles “Dannik-5”, developed at the Federal State Unitary Enterprise SDB IRE RAS. Unique ultra-wideband small-sized printed antennas have been developed for the device. Thanks to them, its directional diagram has been improved, a clearer restructuring in the field of view and a more accurate determination of the location of a moving object are provided. The use of small-sized printed antennas and an optimized internal layout of the device made it possible to improve the shielding of the device, which eliminated its susceptibility to objects moving on the side and behind the radar, and also made it possible to significantly improve its mass-dimensional characteristics. Comparative characteristics in relation to domestic devices and foreign analogs are given. The device is competitive with world analogues.

Аналіз медичної допомоги військовослужбовцям – учасникам бойових дій у клініці амбулаторної допомоги Національного військово-медичного клінічного центру «Головний військовий клінічний госпіталь»

Background. As a result of the negative impact of military combat factors, a significant number of servicemen who took part in the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) or Joint Forces Operation (JFO) need medical and psychological support and medical care. Presented materials anable us to assess the state of health, the organization of health care and social protection of military personnel who were treated at the outpatient clinic (OC). Purpose of the work was to conduct analysis providing medical assistance to combatants by OC of National Military Medical Clinical Center (NMMCC) «Main Military Clinical Hospital» (MMCH). Material and methods. The study was conducted in OC NMMCC «MMCH» in the period from 2017 to 2019. Number of assigned patients, incidence and purpose of patients` visits to general practitioners and other specialists, the number of military personnel directed to military-medical and medical-social expert commissions were analyzed. We analyzed data from: logbook accounting patients at outpatient clinic (form 74/о), outpatient medical cards (supplement to medical book), statistical coupons for registration of final (specified) diagnoses (form 025-2/о), logbook of registration and informed consent to provide personal data combatants – participants in ATO (JFO). Diseases of servicemen in the OC were established in accordance with ICD-10. Statistical processing was performed using the software package Excel and Statistica 10. Results. Based on the analysis of presented data, we asssed basic indicators of health and the organization of outpatient medical care to servicemen who were enrolled for the ATO/JFO. Conclusions. This study suggests that the largest proportion in the structure of visit purpose at the OC was assotiated with therapeutic and diagnostic work, and the lowest - with registration documents for military medical expert comission. In the patients` visits structure, visits to General Practitioners (GPs) dominated compared to visits for specialist consultation. We established decrease of visit number to GP and its increase for specialist consultations in 2019. The number of visits to neurologist was higher than to doctors of other specialties. It is noted that by decision Military medical expert comissions the most of servicemen have been found fit for further military service.

Protection of children’s rights and interests under war conditions in the east of Ukraine and in the annexed Crimea Republic: new challenges for Ukraine

The annexation of Crimea and Russian arm aggression at Donbas abruptly worsened the condition in the sphere of children protection and abruptly aggravated problems, which overcoming must be guided by state and social efforts. Under these conditions the state government already in first months of arm actions took urgent measures for settlement of children, whose parents (one of parents) had died as a result of wound, contusion or inability, gotten in the districts of the anti-terrorist operation, in short terms (Order of the President № 835/2014 of 29.10.2014 “On urgent arrangements as to providing additional social guarantees for separate categories of citizens” (p. 5, part 1)).Then accepted Laws of Ukraine “On provision of rights and freedoms of citizens and legal regime at the timely occupied territory of Ukraine”, “On timely arrangements for the period of the anti-terrorist operation” contain principles as to providing the educational process and social protection of children, norms of other laws – statements, directed on protection of rights of children in difficult living circumstances, on education, social protection, rest of children and so on.In 2016 Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine “On childhood protection” was added by the term – a child, having suffered from military actions and arm conflicts, yet unknown to the national legislation.The modern condition of the Ukrainian legislation needs improving a part of requirements to observing rights and interests of children, removed from AR Crimea, uncontrolled territory of the Donetsk and Lugansk region, that gives children a possibility to develop their potential as Ukrainian citizens, full-time responsible members of society.At overcoming legislative gaps in the sphere of children’s rights protection in the arm conflict in Ukraine, the national legislation must be brought to correspondence with requirements of international legal acts.Having ratified the Facultative protocol to the Convention as to children’s participation in arm conflicts, our state confirmed the readiness to oppose their huge harmful influence on children, condemned illegal encroachment on them under conditions of military actions, acknowledged a necessity to intensify children’s protection from a participation in arm conflicts. There is a series of problems, connected with realization of statements of the facultative protocol. The national legislation of Ukraine doesn’t determine if the Facultative protocol is a law of direct action, and if it can be directly used at court at protecting children’s rights, or it is necessary to refer to other – today absent – norms of the national legislation that explain its statements.Ukraine has not ratified the Statute of the International criminal court that generates the condition of impunity of persons, committing crimes against children that are accepted as such by the international legislation on human rights and by the Roman statute, and violates the principle of inevitability of penalty for persons that commit military crimes against children.The national legislation doesn’t contain norms that distinctly and unambiguously prohibit or introduce criminal responsibility for recruiting and using persons, younger than 18 years, in arm conflicts.Observance of international standards of children’s rights protection in arm conflicts by Ukraine is a guarantee of preserving life, physical and psychical wholeness, health and relative social welfare of suffered children and their families and also of communities, both in the East of Ukraine and in regions, that settle migrants. A combination of efforts for providing children’s interests is an important precondition of integration to the European community and observance of general human values

Клініко-епідеміологічний аналіз захворювань печінки у військовослужбовців – учасників антитерористичної операції/операції Об’єднаних сил

SummaryGround and aim. In the comprehensive provision of qualified and specializedmedical care to wounded servicemen, concomitant diseases are often diagnosed,including dysfunction of the internal organs that occur after wounds in primary healthypatients. In order to find out the frequency, structure and characteristics of the clinicalcourse of liver diseases in sick military personnel of a surgical (wounded) andtherapeutic (without wounds) profile, this study was conducted.Materials and methods. An analysis is conducted for data from 199 patientmedical records of servicemen, who got the wound of different localization during antiterrorist operation/ Joint Forces Operation (АТО/JFO) and 294 discharge records ofservicemen who arrived from the АТО (JFO) and have been treated in the clinic ofgastroenterology of the National Military Medical Clinical Centre «Main MilitaryClinical Hospital» (NMMCC «MMCH»).Results. 34.2% servicemen, who have got a battle trauma, had a rise ofaminotransferases from the first twenty-four hours after battle trauma. Moreover,frequency of that was higher than the frequency of expression of reactive hepatitis forservicemen with the diseases of gastrointestinal tract organs (in 25%), who werepresented at the АТО/JFO zone without battle wound, and were admitted for treatmentto the clinic of gastroenterology of NMMCC «MMCH». Other diseases of the digestivetract among servicemen who had got a battle trauma were diagnosed very rarely(nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in 1.5%, and hepatitis С (HС) in 2.5% ofpatients). Those indexes were significantly lower compared with such, obtained from theanalysis of the structure of liver diseases among servicemen, who were hospitalizedfrom the АТО/JFO zone to the clinic of gastroenterology of NMMCC «MMCH»(NAFLD in 17.2–34.5%, HС in 9.7–43.5% cases).Conclusions. Results of analysis of the structure of liver diseases in the injuredcombatants after battle trauma in the АТО/JFO zone, and servicemen who werehospitalized without any trauma to the clinic of gastroenterology suggest the need of therigorous research of the functional condition of hepatocytes in injured combatants withthe aim of early detection of reactive hepatitis and its nosotropic correction.

UKRAINIAN-RUSSIAN CONFLICT IN THE DONBAS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF WESTERN HISTORIOGRAPHY: CHARACTER, ORIGINS, REASONS

Object of research: analysis of the works of modern foreign authors, which reflect the process of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the Donbas, which cast doubt on the European security system, has complicated the lives of millions of citizens. Clarification of the reasons that led to the amorphous national identity of the population of Donbas, rejection of Western values, mythical ideas about fascists-Banderites. Disclosure of the diversity of assessments of Western historiography regarding the origins and causes of the conflict, its nature. From a critical point of view, the work of "geopolitical realists" who are trying to minimize the Kremlin’s actions in relation to Ukraine is considered. Investigated problem: to show and prove that the revival of Russian neo-imperialism, which even after 1991 considered Ukraine a vassal, became the main external factor that led to the escalation of the conflict and its actual “freezing”. The attention is focused on the reasons for the appearance of peculiar stereotypes of thinking and behavior of residents of the Donetsk basin, contrasted with the mentality of citizens of other regions, especially Western Ukraine. The cultural-historical split of Ukraine, which developed historically, could not be the cause of the armed conflict, even with the pole opposition “Lviv-Donetsk”. Therefore, the separatist sentiments that appeared in Donbas at certain times were not a mass phenomenon even in 2014 because of this, it is impossible to explain Russian aggravation of relations between the elites of Kyiv and Donbas without analyzing external interference. The state of affairs was also aggravated by both sabotage of the Donbas elites, they did not recognize the legitimacy of the new government in Kyiv after February 2014, and by the mistakes made by the central government in Kyiv. Hasty and ill-conceived, according to Western experts, was the adoption by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of a law abolishing the regional status of the Russian language. The name of the military operations from the Kyiv side as “anti-terrorist operation” was doubtful. It was changed late. Main scientific results: in fact, for the first time in the historiography of Ukraine, the latest works of Western scholars on the Ukrainian-Russian conflict have been analyzed. Conclusions are made about the inconsistency of the views of Western historians regarding the nature and causes of the conflict, the prospects for its settlement.

Pathogenetic ally based psychotherapeutic targets of adjustment disorders in young internally displaced persons

Pathogenetically substantiated psychotherapeutic targets of adjustment disorders were developed in young people of internally displaced persons. 105 patients with adjustment disorders aged 18-25 years were examined with studying their clinical-psychopathological and pathopsychological features. The main group consisted of 59 internally displaced persons from the Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone, the control group consisted of 46 permanent residents of Kharkiv. According to the leading strategy of overcoming stress, 3 variants of adjustment disorders were identified in the surveyed young people: avoidance (in 35.9 % persons from main group and in 27.3 % persons from the control group), obsession (in 29.8 % and 36.9 % persons), phobias (in 34.3 % and 35.8 % persons). There are three directions of psychotherapeutic influence on clinical and pathopsychological manifestations of adjustment disorders: I direction is to manifestations of distress, depression and anxiety with phobic avoidance; II direction is to manifestations of obsession and avoidance; III direction is to manifestations of disorientation in the surroundings. Targets of psychotherapy of adjustment disorders in young internally displaced persons have been developed: clinical-psychopathological (anxiety in unusual situations, disorganization in actions, high level of reactive anxiety, subdepressive state, anti-vital experiences) and personal (low activity, selective communication, short-term anxiety, inability to fully disconnect from troubles and everyday problems).

Problems of military-political interaction between the countries of the West and Central Asia at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries

Central Asia in recent history is a vast region with five Muslim States-new actors in modern international relations. The countries of Central Asia, having become sovereign States, at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries are trying to peaceful interaction not only with their underdeveloped neighbors, but also with the far-off prosperous West. At the same time, the United States and Western European countries, in their centrosilic ambitions, seek to increase their military and political presence in Central Asia and use the military bases of the region’s States as a springboard for supplying their troops during anti-terrorist and other operations. With the active support of the West, the Central Asian States were accepted as members of the United Nations. For monitoring and exerting diplomatic influence on the regional environment, the administration of the President of the Russian Federation H. W. Bush established U.S. embassies in all Central Asian States. Turkey, a NATO member and secular Islamic state, was used as a lever of indirect Western influence over Central Asian governments, and its model of successful development was presented as an example to follow.

In the context of the operation of the Joint Forces in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, one of the priority and urgent issues in the development of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the development Special Forces Navy.Experience of fighting of the anti-terrorist operation in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions demonstrated widespread use Special Forces Navy of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in particular special purpose marine center and of separate special anty sabatage team of the Ukrainian Navy.The relevance of this topic is necessitated by the need to study the experience of applying units special purpose marine center and of separate special anty sabat- age team of the Ukrainian Navy of the anti-terrorist operation in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions which, in our opinion, is the basis for further action is the development special purpose military units.The author proposes to cover the experience of using units on the basis of open sources special purpose marine center and of separate special anty sabatage team of the Ukrainian Navy of the anti-terrorist operation in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and provide guidance on how to apply them in today's context.The tasks assigned to the aforementioned units are analyzed. It was established which personnel of the special purpose units of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were awarded state awards for the accomplishment of combat and special tasks. The combat losses of the personnel of the Special Forces of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are covered.Recommendations are given on the use of units of special purpose units of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the current conditions. The combat experience of the Special Forces Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the anti-terrorist operation on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions will allow to avoid shortcomings and miscalculations during the reform of the respective units of the fleet.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЯ ОРГАНІВ РСЧА З ВИВЧЕННЯ ТА ВИКОРИСТАННЯ БОЙОВОГО ДОСВІДУ У РОКИ ДРУГОЇ СВІТОВОЇ ВІЙНИ

Effective counteraction to the recent armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has exacerbated the need to summarize and put into operation the Ukrainian Army combat experience gained in the anti-terrorist operation / operation of the United Forces. In order to make this work more effective, you need to learn from the past. The article analyzes the scientific and memoir literature, the documentary source base on the creation and operation of bodies to study and use the combat experience of the RSCA during the Second World War. The results of these bodies constitute a valuable array for historiography. And the organization of their work is of practical importance in modern conditions. To study the experience of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression, we propose the author's periodization of the evolution of the RSCA bodies to study and use the combat experience in 1939-1945. Even before the outbreak of Second World War, the armies that eventually joined the anti-Hitler coalition and their opponents began work on generalizing, studying, and using experience in the use of armed forces, armies, and forces, and organizing their interaction in combat. For the study and implementation of the experience of war, structures were established in the military authorities to study, summarize, and use combat experience, the activities of which are of great interest to modern researchers, scientists, and military specialists. Combat experience is required to develop and implement the newest methods of conducting armed combat, organizing and conducting military operations, developing instructions, manuals and techniques for the preparation of units of troops and special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, in order to streamline this work in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to avoid mistakes, it is urgent to take into account foreign experience, especially in all – countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, as well as to conduct military-historical researches on the history of creation and activity of structures for studying, generalization and use of combat experience. during the Second World War, particularly in the RSCA.

ЦЕНТРАЛЬНА СТОМАТОЛОГІЧНА ПОЛІКЛІНІКА МІНІСТЕРСТВА ОБОРОНИ УКРАЇНИ В ІСТОРИЧНІЙ РЕТРОСПЕКТИВІ

The article analyzes a history of the Central Dental Polyclinic of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which was established on the basis of the 147th Dental Laboratory in August 1944 under the Sanitary department of the Kyiv Military District. The material and technical base of the Central Dental Polyclinic was gradually improved and the number of personnel increased. Particular attention was paid to the training of medical professionals, as well as to the scientific, practical and inventive activities. Nowadays, patients can receive a full range of services in diagnosis, treatment and prosthetics of teeth. The personnel use modern technologies and provide all types of therapeutic and emergency outpatient surgical care. Since the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) in eastern Ukraine, the Polyclinic's management has restored and completed full-time mobile dental modules in accordance with European standards which currently operate in the area of the United Forces Operation (UFO). The Central Dental Polyclinic of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine constantly works for participants of ATO / UFO and those who was released from the captivity. The Polyclinic conducts dental care with the use of implants, complicated prosthetics, bone plastics for seriously injured people. A single electronic card of a military man was launched and the Unified medical space was created in order to optimize the healthcare. Nowadays, the Central Dental Polyclinic of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has well-equipped diagnostic and treatment rooms and uses materials and technologies that meet the world standards, as well as dental microscopes, radiological diagnostics, etc.The Central Dental Polyclinic is a scientific, methodological and educational base of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Dentistry of the Ukrainian Military Medical Academy and provides training for military dentists.The only dentistry museum in Ukraine operates at the Polyclinic.

ADAPTATION OF TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE MAIN TANKS ENGINE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM IN CONDITIONS OF RESOURCES

As a result of the maintenance of armored artillery armament and equipment in the area of the antiterrorist operation, it was established that the maintenance tasks were solved being limited in forces and means. Personnel conducted the minimum amount of operations, technical maintenance 1 and 2 were not performed in full, level of personnel training is low. In addition, it is noted that the existing maintenance system requires significant improvement. Thus, the imperfect existing maintenance system, failure to meet a certain amount of maintenance work and poor knowledge of operation regulations for the armored armament material negatively affected, and in some cases, were the main cause of engine failure. Confirmation to this is the data taken from general analysis of the technical state of samples of armored vehicles and equipment during the practical task accomplishment in the area of antiterrorist operation. Therefore, the reasons for the failure of T-64BV (T-64BM) tanks in 34% of cases were malfunction of the air supply system. In order to prevent the causes of tank engine failure, increase their reliability, it is necessary to outline the prospects of the development of air cleaner stands and the direction of increasing the efficiency of technical maintenance of the air supply system of tank engines. For advanced air cleaner stands, it is advisable to use a modular structure, based on existing stands for use both in stationary and field conditions, using modern industrial materials. The modular structure of a perspective rinse air cleaner should have the following unified components, namely: an electric power supply, a heater, a pump and a bath with a lid. The main directions of increasing the efficiency of operation of engine power supply maintenance by air tanks include the concentration of the research organizations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the military-technical direction for conducting systematic research with the aim of improving technical maintenance of the air supply system of tank engines using modern air cleaner stands, scientific-technical support for the purpose of scientific substantiation of ways to improve the system of maintenance of engine air supply system.

Legal regulation of organization and provision of rehabilitation assistance to anti-terrorist operation/joint forces operation participants

Purpose of the study. Investigate the current legal mechanisms for organizing and providing rehabilitation assistance to participants and victims of the armed conflict in the eastern regions of Ukraine.
 Materials and methods. To achieve these goals, a standard methodological apparatus for scientific research was used: bibliosemantic, for the analysis of periodical literature, and content analysis, for the analysis of legal documents.
 Results. As stated in the regulations, one of the main responsibilities of the state is to ensure the social protection of participants in the armed conflict in the east of the country. To fulfill this function, a number of laws and regulations have been enacted at the legislative levels, which are constantly being revised to improve social, medical and psychological care for participants in the joint force operation (anti-terrorist operation) and its victims. Comprehensive assistance to disabled military personnel and combatants includes statutory guarantees and procedures for their rehabilitation and adaptation. This list includes medical rehabilitation (provision of medical care, including prosthetics and orthoses, provision of technical means of rehabilitation); psychological rehabilitation; social rehabilitation; vocational rehabilitation.
 Conclusions. In Ukraine, there is a welldeveloped legal regulation of the process of providing rehabilitation assistance to participants in the armed conflict in the eastern regions of Ukraine. Organizational mechanisms for rehabilitation are constantly being improved: the International Classification of Functioning, Restriction of Life has been introduced; qualification characteristics of rehabilitologists and rehabilitation specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapy assistants and occupational therapists have been developed. It has been established that there are no unified protocols for medical rehabilitation in Ukraine: only a protocol of measures for post-traumatic stress disorder has been developed. A «road map» for medical care, reparative treatment and rehabilitation measures in health care facilities is available and applicable.

Surgical care to the wounded with large bowel battle truma during the anti-terrorist operation

A study of surgical treatment at the stages of medical evacuation of 83 wounded with a battle trauma to the abdomen and damage to the large bowel, received during the anti-terrorist operation. The wounded patients were divided into two groups: the comparison group — 42 patients with a traditional surgical management, and the main group — 41 patients with a priority surgical management, which depended on the severity of the condition, the severity of internal injuries and operational and tactical circumstances. At the second level of medical care, the surgical management and the extent of surgical interventions were determined: full, abbreviated or damage control surgery. At the III–IV levels of medical care, planned repeated operations “damage control surgery”, “second look”, as well as comprehensive treatment of the consequences and complications of gunshot wounds were performed.A new approach to the choice of surgical management, as well as the standardization of the estent of surgical interventions have reduced the number of postoperative abdominal complications by 27% and mortality rate — by 16.4%.
