Development of air quality monitoring system in Kyiv on the way of modernization environmental safety of sustainable development

The processes of modernization of the environmental safety system in the context of achieving sustainable development are actualized by global problems that arise as a result of man-made load on the atmospheric air. Among the cities of Ukraine, the capital occupies one of the first places in terms of pollution. In the process of ecological modernization in order to improve air quality, it is necessary to have detailed information about the level of pollution, pollutants, sources of their formation, changes in time and space, etc. Traditionally, monitoring of air quality in the capital is carried out by different organizations, which assess air quality only by the content of particles with a size of 1-10 microns, which is not enough for a complete analysis and assessment of the state of pollution. The most acceptable direction for the further development of the air quality monitoring system in Kyiv is to increase the coverage of the territory of the capital with a modern network of monitoring points of the Kyiv City State Administration, which in the future will become an information basis for making the necessary management decisions to ensure the sustainable development of Kyiv.

Oxygen productivity of urban forests of Kyiv city as a constituent of its sustainable development

The oxygen-producing function of urban forests is an integral factor in creating favourable living conditions for the population in an urbanized environment. Managerial decisions aimed at the development of environmental potential in urban forests shall be based on sustainable development goals and ensure the balanced use of their ecosystem functions. As a result of the research, quantitative values of the oxygen productivity of urban forests in Kyiv have been computed. Also, we have analysed the influence of the main biometric characteristics of stands on the intensity of their oxygen production capacity. The informational basis for evaluating the oxygen productivity of urban forests consists of research data that reflects the silvicultural characteristics of more than 14,000 forested plots featuring different species composition, age, and site index class, growing in different types of conditions. As a methodological basis, we have applied the semi-empirical method, which involves assessing the net primary production of ecosystems. The proposed quantitative values of oxygen productivity in Kyiv’s urban forests serve as an information component in forming a sustainable development strategy for the preservation and extended restoration of forest ecosystems in the region.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF AMATEUR FOOTBALL IN UKRAINE

Introduction. Scientists studying the development of football emphasize that professional football is a kind of core or top of the conditional structure of the modern football industry, and its basis is amateur football. In this context, it is clear that amateur football is a necessary prerequisite for the effective development of professional football in the country. The purpose of the study is to analyze and systematize the current state and generalize the ways of development of amateur football in Ukraine, taking into account regional aspects for the period 2018-2023. Research methods: analysis and generalization of data from scientific and methodological literary sources and the Internet network, pedagogical observations, content analysis of materials of the official websites of regional football associations, amateur football associations of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Football Association, the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) for the period of 2018 -2023 years, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Quantitative indicators of the representation of teams from regional football associations in the group and final tournaments of the Ukrainian football championships among amateur teams for the period 2018-2023 were analyzed. Conclusions. The analysis of the data of the scientific and methodological literature and the global network "Internet" shows that as criteria for the development of amateur football, it is appropriate to use the general quantitative indicators of the representation of amateur football teams from regional football associations in the Ukrainian football championships among amateur teams and the quantitative indicators of the representation of amateur football teams from respective regional associations in the final tournaments of these competitions. According to quantitative indicators of participation in championships of Ukraine, among amateur teams, the leaders are Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (15 teams) and Kyiv City Football Association (13 teams). According to the quantitative indicators of the teams' participation in the final tournaments, the leaders are the representatives of the Sumy and Cherkasy regional football associations, whose teams, in four seasons, participated in the final tournaments of the championship of Ukraine in football among amateur teams three times

Portrait of the Ukrainian Capital Defenders in Award Documents for the Medal "For the Defense of Kyiv"

The purpose of the work is to analyse the informative potential of little-known documents from the collection of the State Archive of Kyiv (SAK) which describe the awarding process for the medal for the defense of Kyiv in July-September, 1941. We determine the reliable number of awardees, as well as create a socio-demographic collective portrait of them. For the first time the documents for the medal "For the Defense of Kyiv" from the funds of the SAK are considered as a source of scientific research in the field of restoring the national memory of the Ukrainians and for the first time as well they are comprehensively introduced into scientific circulation. From decision protocols and the witness testimonies, award letters, etc., it’s possible to distinguish the main categories of persons who applied for awards, to divide them by gender, age, and types of work they did during the defense of Kyiv. The reporting documentation of the awards department of the Kyiv City Council for the period 1962–1992 provides rich material for the reconstruction the image of city defenders, studying the ways of involvement for the civilian population in defence work, as well as understanding the course of the awarding process over the 30 years. Prospects for further studies are possible through the further, more detailed prosopographic and demographic studies, the search for new information about awarding, further research work related to the period of June-September 1941. Personal information about people in award letters is also a valuable source of information for genealogical research.

Some characteristics of woody plants inhabited by Viscum album (Santalaceae) in the city of Kyiv

As a result of the study, a wide range of tree species parasitized by white mistletoe (Vіscum album) in the city of Kyiv, Ukraine, was identified. Some species, such as Quercus robur, Ulmus pumila, and Alnus glutinosa, remained uninfested even in the case of a high degree of infestation of surrounding trees. It has been found that among the infested plants only 4.34% of deciduous species and 5.05% of conifers demonstrated a severe damage caused by the hemiparasite (more than 20 plants of V. album in one crown). The largest number of trees and the highest level of damage were observed for Acer saccharinum, A. platanoides, Salix alba, Robinia pseudoacacia, Populus nigra, Tilia cordata, and Betula pendula aged in average 45–50 years. In the study of genetic characteristics of affected and unaffected by V. album trees of Pinus sylvestris at the molecular level by TBP markers, no differences have been revealed.

Analysis of the Needs of Social Workers Regarding Their Utilization of ICT in the System of Provision of Social Services (Kyiv City, Ukraine)

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an important element in the work of social workers. Recent progress in ICT creates fundamentally new opportunities for social work in the provision of social services, including high-quality and timely responses to the requests of vulnerable population groups and persons in crises. In the information sector, work in the social sphere requires knowledge and skills in effective search, accumulation, processing, storage, presentation, and transmission of data using computers and computer networks. A social worker must be able to use information and computer technologies both for self-development in the professional sphere and for organizing their daily practical activities and solving socially significant problems. Therefore, it is necessary to form and develop ICT competence in professional activities for the quality provision of social services. The purpose of the study is to determine the ICT tools used in the practical work of social workers in the provision of social services, the scope of ICT application, and the analysis of the needs of social workers in Kyiv regarding the introduction of ICT into the system of providing social services.An online survey of social workers of state and non-state organizations in Kyiv, which provide social services to vulnerable population groups and persons in crises, was conducted. The theoretical sampling method was used, which made it possible to formulate generalized recommendations regarding introducing ICT tools into the social services system. To determine the typical ICT tools and directions of ICT used in social work, an expert meeting was held with specialists of the Department of Information and Analytical Work of the Kyiv City Center of Social Services. Resource monitoring was used for the automated search of information on the Internet.The authors of the article researched the information and communication technologies used by social service providers in their work and highlighted the prospects of ICT tools in state and non-state organizations. The ICT tools that are most often used in the provision of social services have been determined as a result of a survey of social service workers of state and non-state organizations in Kyiv. These tools are grouped into three main categories: communication channels, information dissemination channels, and methods of building online service provision processes. The key needs of social workers regarding the use of ICT tools in the process of providing social services and the most typical challenges in the implementation of these technologies are presented in the article. The authors identified the advantages of using ICT in the provision of social services and proved the effectiveness of the use of electronic services as a quick and effective tool in the process of meeting the requests of vulnerable population groups. The prospects for the use of ICT in the provision of social services are highlighted as well. It has been shown that the use of information and communication technologies in the provision of social services will positively affect the quality of the provision of social assistance and social services. The use of these technologies by social institutions makes it possible not only to effectively respond to the challenges of the military situation in Ukraine but also to promptly respond to the requests and needs of social service recipients and provide them with quality services. The authors presented the main ICTs that can be used by social workers when providing social services.

Soviet stadium as a space of competition of official and informal models of behavior on the example of Kyiv (1950–1980)

The article considers the peculiarities of the strategies of behavior of fans in Soviet stadiums in the postwar period. On the example of the city of Kyiv and the “Republican” stadium, an analysis of the competition between officially permitted, acceptable models of behavior and alternatives to them, which took place during football matches, is conducted. The Soviet stadium during football matches was a kind of point of “inaccessibility” for the authorities. Watching matches at the stadium was accompanied by a more intense public display of emotions, in contrast to other sports spectacles (for example, a physical culture parade).Before the start of «perebudova» and the announcement of “glasnist”, the official press kept silent about the real situation in the stadiums and the scale of the conflicts that arose after the matches. Also, it ignored any unusual forms of manifestation by fans of their football-related identity (for example, a march of spectators through the city after the match). Violence in stadiums, “incorrect behavior” (such as insulting football players, songs with obscene language) could not be part of the official Soviet spectator culture. The deconstruction of the image of the “good” fan created by Soviet propaganda and its comparison with the materials of oral historical interviews leads to the conclusion that the practices of Soviet fans in and out of the stadium on the day of the match undermined the government’s monopoly on the city.The widespread popularity of football in the Soviet Union and its widespread discussion contributed to the construction of fan communities, the identity of which was formed by opposing the support of “our” against “foreign”, hostile teams. The principled nature of football matches for interested Soviet citizens turned the review of games at the stadium into a place of emotional demonstration of the fans’ identity. Violations of public order, collective “celebrations” or demonstrations of dissatisfaction with the results of the game, spontaneous marches from the stadium after the match became part of the unconscious resistance to the established models of “correct behavior”.The context of “perebudova”, the lack of prepared reaction of law enforcement officers led to the escalation of the conflict and, in fact, to the actual and symbolic appropriation of urban space by Kyiv fans during the clashes.

Клінічний перебіг вагітності, пологів та стан плаценти в жінок із HCV-інфекцією

Purpose - to conduct a prospective clinical and statistical analysis of the course of pregnancy, childbirth and placental condition in women with hepatitis C virus (HCV-infection). Materials and methods. A prospective clinical and laboratory study of the course of pregnancy, childbirth and placental condition in 40 pregnant women with HCV infection (the main group - MG) was conducted on the basis of the Kyiv City Centre for Reproductive and Perinatal Medicine for the period 2020-2022. 50 healthy pregnant women formed the control group (CG). Statistical processing of the study results was performed using standard software Microsoft Excel 5.0 and Statistica 8.0. Results. The course of pregnancy in women of MG in the trimester I was 2 times more often complicated by early toxicosis compared with women of CG - 3 (7.5%) vs. 2 (4.0%) cases, respectively; p>0.05. The threat of pregnancy termination was 4.3 times more frequent in pregnant women of MG compared with women of CG - 7 (17.5%) vs. 2 (4.0%) cases, respectively; p<0.001. Gestational anemia occurred in 1/3 of pregnant women of MG, which was significantly higher than in pregnant women of CG - 12 (30.0%) vs. 6 (12.0%) cases, respectively; p<0.001. Pregnancy edema (mainly in the trimester III) was detected in pregnant women of MG 4.3 times more often than in pregnant women of CG - 13 (32.5%) vs. 4 (8.0%) cases, respectively; p<0.001. Conclusions. Pregnant women with HCV infection are characterized by a significant increase in the following complications, in particular, during pregnancy: threat of abortion, threat of preterm birth, gestational anemia, placental dysfunction, fetal growth retardation syndrome, preeclampsia; during labor: premature and prenatal amniotic fluid discharge, preterm birth, weakness of labor activity. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patients was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the author.

CHANGES IN HEMODYNAMICS INDICATORS IN THE PERIOPERATIVE PERIOD IN PATIENTS IN THORACIC SURGERY

Introduction. The covid pandemic has caused a delay in diagnosis and early detection of oncological diseases, which in the future will be accompanied by a short-term decrease in the registration of new cancer cases, and then an increase in the number of surgical interventions, including on the respiratory organs. Anesthesiological support in thoracic surgery includes perioperative control of oxygenation and hemodynamic parameters, changes in which can negatively affect the postoperative period and increase the frequency of perioperative complications. Objective: To study the specifics of the impact of various methods of perioperative anesthesia during surgeries on the respiratory organs, using the evaluation of the hemodynamics and oxygenation indicators. Materials and methods. There were included 180 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracotomy at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital No. 17 from 2018 to 2021 within an open noncommercial randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomized into four groups. Multimodal analgesia (MA) group: according to the concept of pre-emptive analgesia, 1 hour before incision - patients received 1000 mg of paracetamol intravenous, as well as dexketoprofen 50 mg intravenous, in the postoperative period dexketoprofen and paracetamol were administered every 8 hours, + epidural anesthesia: administration of 40 mg of 2% lidocaine solution during catheter placement, in the postoperative period - ropivacaine 2 mg/ml (3-14 ml/h). Thoracic epidural anagesia (TEA) group: epidural anesthesia: administration of 40 mg of 2% lidocaine solution during catheter placement, in the postoperative - ropivacaine 2 mg/ml (3-14 ml/h). Preemptive analgesia (PA) group: according to the concept of preemptive analgesia, 1 hour before incision - patients received 1000 mg of paracetamol intravenous, as well as dexketoprofen 50 mg intravenous, in the postoperative period dexketoprofen and paracetamol were administered every 8 hours. Control (C) group: patients received dexketoprofen 50 mg intravenous and opioid analgesic intramuscularly as needed. Results. There were not observed any statistically significant differences in the groups by age, height, weight, degree of anesthetic risk (ASA), blood loss, duration and volume of surgery (p>0.05). A 10-15% decrease in hemodynamics was noted after epidural support with subsequent need for infusion therapy prior to induction of general anesthesia. An increase of the frequency of manifestations of hypotension, itching at the injection site, and urinary retention were observed in the MA and TEA groups in the postoperative period. Conclusion. Epidural analgesia in thoracic surgery has a number of negative complications in the perioperative period, taking into account the lack of statistical difference (p>0.05) in groups according to oxygenation indicators, the use of a multimodal approach without the use of epidural support reduces the frequency of complications at all stages of complex treatment of patients.

ESR1-мутації як предиктор прогресії та метастазування гормонозалежного раку молочної залози

The relevance of the work is due to the need for additional research to better understand the prevalence of ESR1 mutations at different stages of recurrent disease and their prognostic implications. The purpose of the study was to determine the incidence of ESR1 mutations in ER-positive breast cancer, its prognostic value in the choice of treatment. Materials and methods. A systematic review of quality studies, which were taken from PubMed and Thomas Reuters Web of Science databases, published between 2007 and 2019 was performed. Search terms included ESR1 mutations, estrogen receptor, breast cancer, recurrence, metastasis, aromatase inhibitors, fulvestrant and tamoxifen. Only full-text studies in English on the development of ESR1 mutations and their outcomes on disease progression were included. Studies were selected using predefined data fields, taking into account the quality of the study. This prospective clinical study is conducted by means of molecular genetic analysis, namely, gene polymorphism analysis by polymerase chain reaction. This study is carried out on the basis of the Kyiv City Clinical Oncology Center and the Department of Oncology of the Bogomolets National Medical University. A retrospective cohort of hormone receptor positive breast cancer patients experiencing either local or metastatic recurrence was collected from available archival specimens. All clinical data were obtained from the patients' clinical records by an expert breast oncologist. This included age, TNM stage, grade, immunohistochemistry scores for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, and treatment lines. Results and discussion. Estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positivity was determined based on local pathology practice (> 1% positively stained cells). The article demonstrated that ESR1 mutations often occur during AI therapy in the setting of metastasis and may play a role in metastasis progression. Advances in DNA sequencing technology have led to more sensitive detection of ESR1 mutations in clinical samples, and there are now several studies using sequencing and ddPCR techniques to track ESR1 and other mutations during treatment and progression. Targeted DNA sequencing and ddPCR technologies have shown that ESR1 mutations may pre-exist in approximately 5% of primary tumors and are significantly enriched by 30-40% in the setting of metastasis. The ctDNA analysis provides a simple, non-invasive and relatively inexpensive method for monitoring mutations that may arise during treatment, which can ultimately be used to guide treatment decisions. Conclusion. Importantly, ESR1 mutation monitoring alone is not clinically predictive of treatment; however, monitoring the acquisition of stem cell or other mutations may predict response and/or progression of treated cancers. Currently, patients with tumors expressing ESR1 mutations are best treated with the combination of fulvestrant and palbociclib, as this combination has significantly improved PFS in patients with most identified ESR1 mutations. Ongoing clinical trials using fulvestrant with specific PI3K-alpha inhibitors are showing promising clinical results, but analysis of whether patients with specific ESR1 mutations will benefit from this treatment has not yet been published

WHO SAFE SURGERY CHECKLIST IMPLEMENTATION IN UKRAINE: MEDICAL PERSONNEL COMPLIENCE AND OTHER ASPECTS

Summary. WHO surgical checklist is an effective tool for human-related adverse perioperative event prevention. Although it’s implementation often accompanied by different challenges.
 The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of implementation of the modified WHO surgical checklist and to identify the main barriers to its completion.
 Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 366 medical records of patients that undergoing a Cesarean section was performed during the period from 1 October 2022 to 5 January 2023 and the accompanying checklists to evaluate their completion.
 Results. The average checklist completion rate was 94.2 %. The least filled field was “specimen labelling” and “date and time” in the final section (87.9%, n = 190), the most – patient identification, informed consent to anesthesia, presence of the relevant laboratory data and obstetric history, readiness of the anesthetic equipment, known allergies (100 %, n = 216). Among the checklists’ sections, fields were most unmarked in the “end of procedure” section (91.7 % filled), followed by the “preoperative assessment” (94.5 % filled) and most rarely in the “preinduction assessment” (95.5% filled).
 Conclusion and recommendations. The results of the study indicate the average compliance of the medical staff to filling out the surgical checklist «Safe Surgery» in the Kyiv City Maternity Hospital No. 5, and the high completeness of the filled checklists. Failure to complete the checklist was most often associated with urgent surgical interventions. Analysis of compliance of medical personnel and the quality of filling out checklists is an important and mandatory component of improving the safety of surgery and anesthesia.

State of providing oncological aid to the population of Ukraine in wartime conditions

Annotation. The fight against oncological diseases remains one of the priority directions of the health care system of Ukraine, yet this process has become much more complicated in the conditions of martial law. In order to study the state of providing oncological care to the population of Ukraine in wartime conditions, information from the National Health Service of Ukraine was studied. The distribution of oncological treatment service providers by regions and by ownership was performed, the level of hospitalizations per 100,000 individuals and the available bed fund per 1 million individuals were analyzed. Statistical methods (analysis of relative values, calculation of the correlation coefficient), structural-logical analysis and systematic approach are applied. The research established that, as of July 2022, 103 institutions (including 7 private ones) provide chemotherapeutic treatment services, and 35 institutions (including 2 private ones) provide radiological treatment services. The largest number of chemotherapeutic treatment providers per 1 million individuals is located in Kirovohrad region, the smallest – in Kyiv region. Meanwhile, Zaporizhia and Kirovohrad regions are characterized by the largest number of radiological treatment providers per 1 million individuals, while Odesa and Kharkiv regions have the lowest number. The largest number of oncology beds per 1 million individuals and the largest number of hospitalizations per 100,000 individuals were registered in the city of Kyiv and in Poltava region, the lowest – in Luhansk region. When organizing the provision of oncological care to the population in wartime conditions, the factor of cross-border treatment, as well as the use of telemedicine programs, must be taken into account. Further research is required to study the impact of the military conflict on oncology risk, the level of morbidity, mortality and neglect of cancer in the population of Ukraine.

Researcher of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra: to the 120th Anniversary of the Birth of M. V. Kholostenko

December 7, 2022 marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Ukrainian architect, historian of national architecture, researcher and restorer of architectural monuments, teacher Mykola Viacheslavovych Kholostenko (1902—1978). After graduating from the Kyiv Institute of Architecture in 1929, he taught at the Kyiv Institute of Civil Engineering and Art Institute, managed the design workshop of the Kyiv City Council (1938—1941), worked at the Kyivproject Institute (1953—1958, 1961—1977), held the position of chief architect of the Republican Special Research and Restoration Production Workshops State Construction Committee of the USSR (1959—1961). In addition to the development of projects of residential and public buildings in Kyiv, M. V. Kholostenko had done a lot of work on the study, protection and restoration of architectural monuments of the 10th—18th centuries of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Putyvl, Novhorod-Siverskyi. M. V. Kholostenko’s contribution to the study of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is significant. Many years of research (1952—1954, 1962—1963, 1969—1972) allowed him to trace the architectural and construction history of the entire ecclesiastical complex. M. V. Kholostenko found out the construction and technical features of the ancient part of the cathedral — the technology of making plinths, the method of masonry of the main walls, arches, vaults. He was the first who systematized and classified the bricks of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the 11th—17th centuries. During the research, new, previously unknown elements of the architecture of the ancient part of the cathedral were discovered, hidden behind later extensions. M. V. Kholostenko developed a scheme of dimensions and proportions of the cathedral of the 11th century and corrected the general plan of the temple and its individual parts. The results of architectural and archaeological research of the remains of the cathedral and the analysis of iconographic sources provided sufficient grounds for the scientific reproduction of the entire cathedral complex. M. V. Kholostenko was one of the first to recreate the original appearance of the Cathedral of the Dormition and reconstructed the Church of St. John the Baptist. The results of his research became the basis for the development of the project for the restoration of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, implemented in 1998—2000.

The Identity Politics of Heritage

Abstract Russia’s war against Ukraine has shown not only how the Kremlin has weaponized history, but also how the victim can fight back by breaking historical ties with the aggressor. Since March 2022, Ukraine has been developing new identity politics of heritage. The article focuses on decisions made by the Kyiv City Council, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, and the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory regarding material objects associated with Russian or Soviet heritage. It also shows how Kyiv opinionmakers and experts have reacted to changes that will eventually result in the reshaping of the city’s memory landscape. The article divides the processes of deconstruction of urban space into three categories: decommunization, decolonization, and derussification. Each of them shapes not only the memory space of Kyiv, but also the identities of its residents. The article discusses how the identity politics of heritage work in the event of armed conflict and how different actors define the meaning of heritage during the ongoing war.

Analysis of the influence of factors on the corrosion resistance of the sewage pipeline

Sewage systems are an important component of the life support system, which, in particular, determine the ecological condition in the settlement. The durability of the laid network depends on many factors, one of which is their corrosion resistance. The number of accidents on the site and the number of necessary repairs are also related to this factor. The purpose of the work was to study the factors that have the greatest influence on the corrosion resistance of sewer pipelines, with the aim of increasing their service life and reducing the number of accidents. The analysis used information obtained during the practical operation of sewer pipelines in the city of Kyiv. The data of a group of pipelines with diameters from 500 to 1500 mm were analyzed. The planning of the active experiment was made on a sample of data for 25 years of operation. The presented study was carried out in the statistical package STATGRAPHICS. A full factorial experiment was conducted. According to the results of the work, the total number of determining factors was reduced. Based on the methods of statistical analysis, the following conclusions were obtained: a statistically significant relationship was established between the use of concrete pipes with low speed and the largest number of pipeline accidents. The material of the pipeline and the speed in it turned out to be the factors that have the greatest influence on the life of the pipeline and the number of accidents on the pipeline.

EXPERIENCE IN STRENGTHENING UNDERGROUND PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS IN WATER-SATURATED CITY SOILS

Purpose: to analyze the problem of subsidence of vertical and horizontal elements of underground pedestrian crossings in the conditions of the city of Kyiv (Intersection of Mineralna – Ukrainian streets) taking into account the water-logged structure of the soil. Find a modern solution to this problem using a scientific approach. Using the example of an underground pedestrian crossing, identify the most deformed areas in the elements of the joints of vertical and horizontal structures for further processing and drawing a conclusion for the elimination of similar ones in the future.Methodology: in order to establish the reasons that caused the deformation of structures, to solve the task of engineering survey of the technical condition of their reinforced concrete structures with an instrumental survey of the actual strength, geometry and monitoring of uneven precipitation. Based on the results of field and chamber work, a complex ofstrengthening and restoration engineering and technical measures was developed and recommended to the customer for implementation, taking into account the requirements. Originality: the article provides an example of the implementation of the construction of the foundations of underground pedestrian crossings erected on water-saturated soils in complex engineering and geological conditions using construction water subsidence, usingtechnological methods, with the aim of excluding uneven deformations of foundation sediments above the zones of depression funnels from water subsidence or artificial foundations from vertical cement-soil reinforcing elements, the frontal part of which must be wrapped in reliable base soils.Findings and practical implications. The sealing of horizontal and vertical technological and sedimentary-temperature seams in the construction of foundations, walls and the covering of underground structures should be carried out using modern types of hydraulic plugs that perceive the hydraulic pressure from underground water and exhibit the property of swelling when in contact with flooding water. Such technological solutions can be used in the construction of underground pedestrian crossings in the conditions of dense urban development, in the presence of significant possible vertical deformations in water-saturated soils.Keywords: subsidence, sediment, crack, depression curve, mountain pressure, waterproofing, pile, cement-soil reinforcing element, monitoring

SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF JUVENILE CONVICTS’ RESOCIALIZATION IN THE PROBATION SERVICE

The article studies social and psychological conditions of juvenile convicts’ resocialization in the probation service. Serving animprisonment sentence leads juvenile offenders to lose their social skills and it is difficult for them to adapt in society, because the personality of a juvenile offender regresses in isolation. Due to the humanization of criminal policy in Ukraine, the judicial system is changing to give preference to alternative punishments, not related to imprisonment. One such re-socializing form for juvenile offenders is probation. This punishment avoids adolescent social isolation during the most important period of personality formation.The main stages of social-psychological work with juveniles sentenced to alternative punishments are: examination of their personality, determination of measures and methods having effective social-psychological influence on them, preparation of individual resocialization programs and adolescents’ integration to societyon the basis of these programs. We determined the content of social workers’ work to re-socialize juvenile offenders.During our empirical study, we analysed documents and organised a survey to examine social workers’ functions in working with juvenile convicts and determine an expert opinion about the need for a social worker position in the probation services where juvenile convicts were registered.The sample consisted of specialists from the probation services of the city of Kyiv and Kyiv region, who worked with juvenile convicts, totally, 28 respondents.The empirical data revealed that, mainly, the specialists in law studied the features of adolescents’ personality traits and upbringing. Probation services did not have social workers in their working structure. And these facts, in turn, makes it impossible to provide high-quality resocialization. In particular, the pre-trial reports, risk assessment for repeated criminal offenses, work with juvenile convicts’ parents, organization of constructive leisure, etc. are performed by specialists without any competencies in social work.However, according to the empirical data, respondents believed that specialists in social work should participate actively in resocialization of juvenile convicts, as they would understand the features of adolescence and, therefore, would be able towork in cooperation to assess qualitatively recidivism, assist and encourage adolescents to study and get an education. Keywords: resocialization, probation, social work, convicted adolescents.

Artists’ workshops on the cultural map of Kyiv in the 1960s–1980s

The article takes the first step towards a systematic study of the network of art workshops in the city of Kyiv as it developed during the 1960s and 1980s. The artist’s workshop is presented by us as one of the main loci of professional artistic ubiquity, a room where the artist spends a significant part of his life, working and communicating with colleagues. The activities of the Kyiv branch of the Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR and the Art Fund of the Ukrainian SSR subordinated to the Union in the field of creating and providing artists with skills are analyzed as one of the directions of the implementation of the Soviet cultural policy: maintaining loyal attitudes in the artistic environment through the material support of artists, ensuring their daily professional needs. The phenomenon of Kyiv research workshops in the interdisciplinary field (using the methods of social history, cultural history, etc.). This made it possible to see the system of workshops as a structure: to typologize, that is, to distinguish different types of premises (residential buildings with workshops, specialized “combinations”, individual premises), to build a chronology of creation and visualize the Kyiv geography of the network of creative workshops.

INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO THE ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS PROCESSES OF TRANSPORT ENTERPRISES IN THE CONTEX OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

The simultaneous development of the European integration processes and military actions in Ukraine requires the justification of innovative approaches to the organization of business processes of transport companies to ensure their competitiveness in difficult conditions. The article substantiates directions and methods of innovative reorganization of business processes of a transport enterprise, taking into account external factors and regional characteristics. The article uses the methods of regression modeling to determine the degree of influence of environmental factors on the activities of enterprises, as well as the methodology of the European Cluster Observatory regarding the feasibility of creating clusters. It was established that the most influential factors of the external environment are the industrial production index (1.818) and the innovation index (0.639). To ensure the effective functioning of transport enterprises under the influence of these external factors, the feasibility of reorganizing their business processes by forming clusters with a logistics outsourcing platform is proposed and substantiated. The article carried out a quantitative assessment of the regions of Ukraine and established that it is most expedient to form transport and logistics clusters in Dnipropetrovsk (specialization index – 1.131), Odesa (specialization index – 1.244) regions and the city of Kyiv (specialization index – 1.810). The article highlights the joint business processes of transport enterprises, on the basis of which it is most effective to design a logistics platform as an integrated system of interaction of participants in the logistics chain according to B2B, B2C, B2G schemes.
