Transition from the Gutenberg Galaxy to the Zuckerberg Galaxy

The era of printed books originates from the German city of Mainz, where at the turn of the XIV-XV centuries. Johann Gutenberg was born (according to some scholars, not earlier than 1399, according to others - in 1400; died February 3, 1468). The idea of ​​book printing at that time was quite relevant, and there are different views on the first printers, but it was this German inventor who talentedly solved many technical problems and began mass book printing in Europe. Between 1452 and 1455 he published one of the most famous books of the time, the so-called 42-line Bible, which was called the Gutenberg Bible. It was one of the first incunabula - that's what the books published in the XV century are called, literally "lullabies", ie those that stood near the cradle of book printing.
 The era of electronic books in Europe began in the Ukrainian city of Kiev, where in 1950 Europe's first Small Electronic Computer ("MESM") was developed at the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine under the leadership of Academician S. Lebedev. Thus began the era of computers in Europe, which in half a century led to the global spread of new information technologies, as well as e-books (computers) and magazines.

The Nutrition of the Kyiv Theological Academy Students (1819–1869)

The article depicts the peculiarities of Kyiv Theological Academy students’ nutrition in the years of 1834–1863. The investigation uses documents from the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Kyiv. These are mainly monthly and annual economic reports which inform about the filling of the student’s menu during the year and logs of behavior, where the inspector recorded deviations from the rules by students. Archival documents help to illuminate aspects connected to the nutrition of students of Kyiv Theological Academy. The ego-documents of graduates, notes, instructions of rectors, economists, and inspectors of the educational institution are extremely important.Attention is paid to regulatory requirements on food that are in the “Statut” of the theological academies. The Nutrition of students in Kyiv Theological Academy depended on many aspects and did not remain stable during 1819–1869. The students could diversify their diet at their own expense. The student menu was considered, and an attempt was made to analyze the changes that occurred with the filling of the student menu during these years. Also the paper describes how the diet changed depending on the period of the liturgical year. The traditions of informal students’ meetings and the use of prohibited (alcohol) and permitted (tea) drinks by the students are considered.Special attention is paid to the question of the diet and nutrition value of products for students. Сalculations are approximate, but there are reasons to conclude that the food energy value was enough for the students’ nutrition in the Academy at least on ferias.

On the proper type designation for Camelina microcarpa, a wild relative and possible progenitor of the crop species C. sativa (Brassicaceae)

Mosyakin, S.L. & J.R. Brock (2021). On the proper type designation for Camelina microcarpa, a wild relative and possible progenitor of the crop species C. sativa (Brassicaceae). In English, English abstract. Candollea 76: 55–63.The proper type designation of the name Camelina microcarpa Andrz. ex DC. (Brassicaceae) is discussed. This taxon is currently considered to be a wild relative and possible progenitor of the oilseed crop Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz, and thus the proper typification of the name C. microcarpa is important for further germplasm research and improvement of the crop species. At present, several (at least four) specimens deposited in herbaria G-DC, KW, and LE, are listed in literature and/or annotated in herbaria or online databases as the type (holotype or lectotype) of C. microcarpa. The original material deposited in G-DC [G00203789] is accepted here as the holotype of C. microcarpa because it appears to be the only original element used by Candolle when preparing his description of the new taxon. Isotypes from the Besser herbarium at the National Herbarium of Ukraine in Kyiv (KW-BESS) are discussed and illustrated. It is concluded that the holotype from G-DC and two well-preserved isotypes from KW-BESS [KW001003103, KW001003104] are sufficient for precise morphology-based application of the name C. microcarpa. Our analysis provided evidence that original material was collected by Andrzejowski no later than 1818 in the Podolian Governorate of the former Russian Empire, most probably in the eastern part of Moldova or adjacent southwestern parts of Ukraine, along the Dnister (Nistru, Dniester) River between the present-day town of Camenca (Kamenka) and the confluence of the Dnister and Yagorlyk (Iagorlîc) rivers, probably on limestone outcrops. It means that the type of C. microcarpa may belong to the southern Ukrainian populations, which are genetically different from northern and central Ukrainian ones; however, further field and molecular studies are needed because more than one genotype may in fact occur in that area.Received: August 7, 2020; Accepted: November 26, 2020; First published online: February 1, 2021

137 Cs contaminations in wild-growing medicinal plants of Zhytomyr polissya forests: A 34 years after Chernobyl accident

The contamination of 137Cs in wild-growing medicinal plants was studied with regards to the species, type of forest vegetation conditions and soil specific activity of 137Cs in Zhytomyr polissya forest phytocenoses (Ukraine). The research was carried out in two plots planted in the most region typical edatopes - fresh and wet subor (Querceto-Pinetum). Species composition of phytocenoses was analyzed and the plants that can be harvested for pharmaceutical industry were identified on these test plots,. The herbal substance samples were tested to determine the specific activity of 137Cs. The studies have shown significant variability in the content of radionuclides due to differences in the level of radioactive contamination in the soil and accumulative capacity of plant species. For European blueberry, the peculiarities of 137Cs accumulation in vegetative and generative organs were studied. Comparison of the content of 137Cs in pants of different edatopes showed more higher intensity of radionuclide accumulation in wet suborbs compared to fresh suborbs. The average values of concentration factors were calculated and their rankings were built according to the intensity of 137Cs accumulation for the plants in each edatope. All studied medicinal plants were divided into four groups according to the contration factor: with weak accumulation, moderate accumulation, strong accumulation, and very strong accumulation. Based on the permissible content of 137Cs in wild-growing medicinal plants (600 Bq/kg), the maximum permissible level of soil contamination with radionuclides was determined for each medicinal plant species.

VIRTUAL DIPLOMATIC MISSION: ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL ANALYSIS

The scientific article analyses the current global trends of digital transformation in the field of diplomatic and consular relations, especially regarding the creation of a virtual diplomatic mission. The name of this institution differs in different countries, so the author decided to use an appropriate in his opinion generalizing term – virtual diplomatic mission. The main cases in which countries decide to implement their diplomatic presence in this form, based on the world practice of establishing virtual diplomatic missions, were identified. The peculiarities of the functioning of the institute of virtual diplomatic missions of the United States of America (for example, in Iran, San Marino, the Republic of Seychelles, the Republic of Maldives, etc.) are clarified. The difference between the US Virtual Embassy in Iran and other Virtual Embassies and virtual offices (Virtual Presence Post) is determined. The advanced Singaporean experience in the researched question is analyzed as such, which most fully corresponds to domestic innovations. In many foreign countries Singapore has established offices with the residence of the mission in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore. Such format of representation operates in Ukraine too. The article considers the position of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba and Ukrainian scientists on the prospects for the introduction such institutions in Ukraine The Law of Ukraine “On Diplomatic Service” adopted on June 7, 2018 provided for a new type of foreign diplomatic mission – the Embassy of Ukraine with the residence of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine in Kyiv. However, the analysis of the current legislation of Ukraine gives grounds to believe that the legal support of the institution of "virtual diplomatic missions" in Ukraine is currently insufficient and does not provide a real mechanism for implementing this innovation. Proof of this is the lack of such institutions among foreign diplomatic missions of Ukraine. Therefore, the author draws attention to the urgent need for legislative settlement of issues involved in the establishment and operation of the Embassies of Ukraine with the residence of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine in Kyiv.

ІСТОРИЧНИЙ РОЗВИТОК МОСТОБУДІВНИЦТВА В УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ГУБЕРНІЯХ ПЕРШОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ ХІХ ст. (НА ПРИКЛАДІ КИЇВСЬКОЇ ГУБЕРНІЇ)

Historical literature and archival sources, which were analyzed, allowed to reveal the components of development of river transport constructions of the Kyiv province of the first half of the 19th century. Work with the corps of sources presented in Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Kyiv, State Archive of Kyiv region, State Archive of Kyiv restored the peculiarities of state agencies relations, designed to coordinate the actions of local authorities, delegates of the merchant class in the field of construction of transport facilities, in particular, river bridges. It was found that the main reasons for building bridges were the aspirations of the authorities and the entrepreneurial class to provide profits that associated with the transportation of people, the supply of goods. It was established that were involved in the construction of bridges the state, represented by the provincial government, and merchants who became contractors. There were many cases when bridges, dams and river carriages were built by the efforts of several private and starost granges farms, whose economists acted as organizers of construction and their using. Regulation of the use of river structures pushed the authorities to abolish the privileges of fee collection, the right to which nobles, landowners inherited from Polish state. Authorities granted permits to build or purchase bridges only in cases, where it did not contradict the military calculations. With the help of merchants were erected not only river structures, but entrepreneurs were involved in the construction of roads leading to bridges. There were cases where foreign engineers have been involved in the design and construction of stone bridges. Contemporaries insisted on the low quality of erected transport structures (wooden dams, bridges) on small rivers of the Kyiv province by the efforts of peasants involved in the zemstvo duty. The consequences of this state of river transport facilities for trade were difficult to transporting people and goods each spring and autumn rainy season.

Development of algorithm for risk assessment of the large ring road construction project around Kyiv

One of the most important areas of development in Ukraine is the road sector. It belongs to the strategic sectors of the national economy, and the public road network is a significant component of Ukraine's infrastructure potential. The length and condition of road affects not only the safety and quality, mobility and employment, accessibility of educational and other services, but also causes changes in the temp and flow of capital in Ukraine, and is a necessary prerequisite for recovery competitiveness of the country's economy as a whole. Three international transport corridors pass through Ukraine, which are combined with four national transport corridors. They all pass through the Kyiv region. An urgent problem for Kyiv today is the construction of a Large Ring Road (hereinafter referred to as the "LRR") around Kyiv city, which should relieve the flow of transit transport through the capital of Ukraine, reduce harmful emissions from exhaust gases, and preserve the city roads from being destroyed by excessive vehicles, that are now creating a global city problem.

АРХІВНІ ДОКУМЕНТИ ПРО СОЦІАЛЬНИЙ АНТАГОНІЗМ У ПРАВОБЕРЕЖНІЙ УКРАЇНІ ХІХ СТ.

The article highlights the specifics of the Right Bank of Ukraine and notes that it is in the XIX century was a polyethnic region, which, having its own history, was characterized by ethnic, religious, socio-economic, administrative features and even had its own legislation. Throughout this period, the right-bank Ukrainian lands remained a field of sharp political and social confrontation. Describing the situation on the Right Bank of Ukraine, the authors of the article argue that since joining the Russian Empire, the tsarist government has not taken into account all the features of this territory. He did not pay attention to the Ukrainian people, but saw here only the Polish nobility, which he tried to persuade to his side by various concessions. At the same time, the majority of the population of the Right Bank were Ukrainians, almost all of whom were peasants. At the beginning of the XIX century. There were about 3 million such peasants. Land real estate on the Right Bank of Ukraine was owned by a small number of Polish magnates. It is concluded that after the suppression of the Polish uprising of 1830-1831, an active policy of Russification began. Right-bank Ukraine has become a field of sharp political and social confrontation. This is confirmed by archival sources, first of all, the office documents of the Chancellery of the Governor-General of Kyiv, Podil and Volyn, which are preserved in the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Kyiv. The authors of the article emphasize that in the second half of the XIX century. the issue of reducing Polish land ownership on the Right Bank of Ukraine was very important in the activities of the local administration. The large number of laws and regulations contained in the collections of legislative acts, the numerous correspondence between local authorities and the center, which is stored in the archives, testify to its special relevance.

PARADYGMAT PRYWATNOŚCI ŚWIATA W TWÓRCZOŚCI UKRAIŃSKICH POETÓW W POLSCE

Ukrainian poets living in Poland, as part of the Ukrainian national minority, had a significant impact on the development of literary awareness in the Ukrainian environment in Poland. Thanks to literary contacts, especially in Podlasie, the literary language began to be used, because here Ukrainian poets initially wrote in the Ukrainian dialect of Podlasie. They also formulated the awareness of the literary language in prose works, which united the national code of Ukrainians belonging to the same nation, beyond religious divisions, Orthodox or Greek Catholics. In a comparative aspect, they became ambassadors of the Ukrainian word in their literary circles, their works were translated into Polish and published in Kiev, Lviv, Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities. When discussing the phenomenon of Ukrainian literature in Podlasie, it must be stated that it has undergone a major transformation of awareness from the Ukrainian-Belarusian dialect border (1970s) to its own Ukrainian literary language area, developing after 1990. This is especially true of the works of Ivan Kyryziuk, Yuri Hawryluk and Yevhenia Zhabinska. At the same time, for such writers as Sofiya Sachko or Yustyna Korolko, the reclassification to Ukrainian or Belarusian literature remains problematic. It would be optimal to say that both poets remain a part of a niche literary discourse undertaken by the Ukrainian dialect of the Bielsk Podlaski region, rooted in the issues of the borderland. In Ukrainian literature in Podlasie, an important role was played by the informal literary yearly “Nash Holos” edited in the 1980s. Its content shows the complex issues of awareness in Podlasie and the names of writers who did not go beyond the realities of the year at that time and are not widely known today. They left behind poems written in Ukrainian Podlasie dialect, valuable from the point of view of the history of literature in this area, often close to folk poetry or Ukrainian poetry from the 19th century, especially to the works of Taras Shevchenko.

УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВИТКОМ ТУРИСТИЧНИХ ДЕСТИНАЦІЙ В ЕКОНОМІЧНІЙ СИСТЕМІ УКРАЇНИ

The article discusses the controversial issues of managing the development of tourist destinations within the framework of innovative approaches to the activities of the tourism sector of Ukraine, which is part of the economic system of Ukraine with its problems, challenges and practical solutions, with an emphasis on the structure, mechanism, basic elements and stages of high-quality tourist services, in conditions of formation of the destination "Kiev". As an analytical substantiation, the author analyzes the European experience in the development of tourist destinations (Nimechchin, Spain) and the experience of other countries of the world (China, United Arab Emirates). A block-schematic concept of spatial and economic management and practical functionality of tourist destinations has been created on the example of the city of Kiev. Emphasis is placed on the procedure for designing a tourist product for comfortable leisure and recreation, taking into account the economic component in the process of providing tourist services. It was found that a passive adaptation model is often used to assess the urban tourist environment in the form of a program for adapting the tourist environment to the needs of people, and vice versa, the adaptability of people to the conditions of the tourist environment. Studying the nature and mechanism of relationships, the influence of various factors on consumer behavior makes it possible to determine the likely reaction of tourists to an innovative tourism product created in a destination. An important aspect in this matter is the competitiveness of enterprises producing a tourist product for the city, which is determined, first of all, by the observance of their commercial rules, substantive parameters and the level of comfort in relation to the requirements of the modern market. An algorithm for managing the development of a tourist destination within the framework of economic relations between providers of tourist services with their consumers, dictated by the presence of modern technologies, approaches and methods of forming tourist destinations, as components of a model for managing the development of tourist territories, is proposed. providing nationwide support for tourism, attracting public private and communal enterprises and individual entrepreneurs in its development. The development of the tourism infrastructure in order to provide high-quality and diverse services, the training and advanced training of the personnel of the tourism sector, the use of a significant historical resource to provide domestic (domestic) and foreign (inbound) tourism, the development of information and marketing strategies are the main strategic directions for the future development of the tourist complex of Ukraine.

Архіви української політичної еміграції в Польщі

The article analyzes the composition of the Ukrainian political emigration’s archival collections in the interwar period in Poland, traces the ways of their displacements during the Second World War, and determines its current storage locations and source potential for studying the problems of the political and military history of Ukraine as well as Polish-Ukrainian relations. It is defined that after the defeat of the Ukrainian War of Independence 1917-1921 valuable political and military archives were repatriated to Poland where they were preserved in the emigration centers established by the UNR Government in Tarnow, Сzestochowa and partly in Warsaw. During the occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany, the archives of the UNR Directorate were repatriated to Krakow, and eventually, they came into the possession of Soviet security services that resulted in moving the archives to the USSR. As a consequence, these archives were classified for security reasons and stored in archival special fonds. Moreover, valuable documents that describe the activity of the Ukrainian political emigration and Polish-Ukrainian relationship, particularly the relations between Symon Petlura and Josef Pilsudski, can be found in the fonds of Polish institutions, such as Archiwum Akt Nowych, Сentralne Archiwum Wojskowe, National Library of Poland / Biblioteka Narodowa in Warsaw and the National Ossolinski Institute in Wroclaw. In Ukraine, the most considerable segment of the UNR emigration collections is presented nowadays by the fonds of the Central State Archive of Supreme Authorities and Governments of Ukraine in Kyiv. These documents have an important source potential for describing the processes of the Ukrainian state formation, struggles for independence along with detailed research of Polish-Ukrainian relations during the interwar period. The author states the relevance of preparing an electronic registry of Ukrainian emigration archival collections with the characterization of the content of collections, location of their creation, transportation routes, and their current location. It would embrace the research along with including the documents to the scientific narrative.

TRENDS OF HUMAN CAPITAL ACCUMULATION IN UKRAINE DURING THE PERIOD OF INDEPENDENCE

The article is devoted to the characteristics of trends in the accumulation of human capital in Ukraine over the period of independence. The purpose of the article is to study the key factors that caused the existing trends in the accumulation of human capital during the period of independence of Ukraine. The novelty of the study lies in the application of a systematic approach to establishing the influence of the main factors on the accumulation of human capital in the country over the past twenty years.The expediency of the study of factors that directly affect the course of the processes of accumulating human capital at regional and national levels has been substantiated. The relationship between the quality of life of the population, the socio-economic development of the country and the volume of human capital has been established.The conditions (the number and structure of the current population; the number of live births and deaths per year and per 1000 people of the population; natural population decline, the number of marriages registered per year; total annual fertility rate, average life expectancy at birth), typical for Ukraine at the time of its independence in 1991, in the dynamics of demographic and socio-economic processes in Ukraine during the period of its independence have been analyzed.The tendencies that have been achieved by Ukraine in the nineteen years of independence in the field of socio-economic development, such as: the annual decline in the population and the total fertility rate; an increase in the mortality rate of the population; drop in GDP per capita and human development index are established. The key aspects of stabilizing the situation in the field of human capital accumulation in Ukraine, which should be based on the intensive development of the business environment, improving the quality of education, and comprehensive social protection of the population, have been substantiated.
