First Year Of Activity Research Articles

On the bohemica of the Society for the History and Antiquities of Pomerania in Szczecin

The Society for the History and Antiquities of Pomerania, established in Szczecin in 1824 and one of the city’s most important scientific institutions, initiated Slavic and Kashubian studies research in its first years of activity. It enlisted the cooperation of, among others, an expert in Slavic literature, Professor of the University of Wrocław Jan E. Purkynĕ (1787–1869). Václav Hanka (1791–1861). A Czech linguist, educator, librarian, poet, and translator was also among the Society’s members. Thanks to this cooperation, valuable literature on Czech and Slavic subjects came into the Szczecin Society’s collection, but only a few copies have survived. One of them is the translation of V. Hanka: Hrdinský zpiew o tažení proti Polovcům, Praha 1821. Bohemica also found their way into the collection as gifts from other donors interested in the subject.

Results from the SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance system in Denmark, July 2021 to June 2022

The microbiological analysis of wastewater samples is increasingly used for the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 globally. We described the setup process of the national SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance system in Denmark, presented its main results during the first year of activities, from July 2021 to June 2022, and discussed their operational significance. The Danish SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance system was designed to cover 85 % of the population in Denmark and it entailed taking three weekly samples from 230 sites. Samples were RT-qPCR tested for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, targeting the genetic markers N1, N2 and RdRp, and for two faecal indicators, Pepper Mild Mottle Virus and crAssphage. We calculated the weekly SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration in the wastewater from each sampling site and monitored it in view of the results from individual testing, at the national and regional levels. We attempted to use wastewater results to identify potential local outbreaks, and we sequenced positive wastewater samples using Nanopore sequencing to monitor the circulation of viral variants in Denmark. The system reached its full implementation by October 2021 and covered up to 86.4 % of the Danish population. The system allowed for monitoring of the national and regional trends of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Denmark. However, the system contribution to the identification of potential local outbreaks was limited by the extensive information available from clinical testing. The sequencing of wastewater samples identified relevant variants of concern, in line with results from sequencing of human samples. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Denmark implemented a nationwide SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance system that integrated routine surveillance from individual testing. Today, while testing for COVID-19 at the community level has been discontinued, the system is on the frontline to monitor the occurrence and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Denmark.

Gender Reversals in Contemporary Shakespeare Adaptations: The Case of the National Theatre at Home During the Pandemic

ABSTRACT This article explores the diverse ways in which gender reversal is exploited in the adaptations of Shakespeare plays streamed online by the National Theatre at Home platform within its first year of activity. The platform was launched in December 2020 at the height of Covid-19 pandemic and streamed forty plays in its first year, seven of them productions of Shakespeare’s plays both by the National Theatre and other leading companies. Taking as its point of departure, the fact that adaptations present various cultural issues both across time and space, particularly when they are made globally accessible, this article aims to examine the extent to which the representation of women has been (and could be) amended through the strategy of gender reversal.

Preliminary thermal-hydraulic deterministic safety analysis of an in-vessel LOCA for the DTT facility

The DTT (Divertor Tokamak Test) facility is a new experimental tokamak under development by an Italian consortium in cooperation with several high-standard European laboratories. The ENEA division FSN-SICNUC is involved in the project for carrying out deterministic safety analysis of postulated accidents. In the first year of activity, it has been analyzed an In-Vessel LOCA (IVLOCA) scenario. The IVLOCA scenario selected is caused by a break in the divertor’s cassette cooling tubes with the consequent release of coolant inside the Vacuum Vessel (VV). The best estimate thermal-hydraulic system code TRACE, developed by USNRC, was selected to conduct the preliminary thermal-hydraulic analysis of this accident. DTT is currently under design, so not all the data are frozen. Therefore, based on some engineering assumptions and scaling considerations from similar facilities, the nodalization of DTT VV was developed using the three-dimensional TRACE component “VESSEL”. Then, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to simulate the break and the consequent water injection in the VV. This was done to compare the system behavior and test different nodalization approaches. Subsequently, the data of the DTT divertor cooling system were used to run additional simulations. The results allow to compare different nodalization approaches and to have a preliminary estimate of the pressure peak and temperature behavior in the VV for an IVLOCA. Finally, a first uncertainty analysis was carried out using the DAKOTA toolkit, coupled with TRACE code in SNAP. Two uncertain input parameters were selected: the rupture area of a cooling divertor tube and the temperature of the divertor coolant. The uncertainty analysis allows having a wider spectrum of system behavior and a preliminary insight on the dispersion of the VV pressure, selected as figure of merit. This paper aims to show the results of this preliminary analysis, characterizing the phenomena that occurred during the selected transient.

A Case Study Implementing a Social Needs Screening Process and a Family Navigation Hub at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

Identifying and addressing clients' and families' most pressing social determinants of health needs are integral to quality healthcare. Healthcare leaders and front-line clinicians have long recognized the connection between unmet essential resource needs, such as food, housing and transportation and health outcomes. As a component of broader organizational efforts to improve equitable access to services, a social needs screening (SNS) initiative was introduced, along with a Family Navigation Hub providing navigation interventions. This paper describes the systematic approach taken to support the SNS initiative implementation and highlights evaluation results of the first year of activity.

Exploring an Online Community of Blind Programmers by Using Topic Modeling and Network Analysis

ABSTRACTMuch work has been carried out to highlight the accessibility challenges of blind programmers. Yet, relatively little has been known about how blind programmers help each other to solve problems. We present a data‐driven approach to explore collaborative problem‐solving of users in the Program‐l community of, by, and for blind programmers. We collected 8,344 longitudinal email threads from 778 users from 2004 through 2022 to observe the dynamics of collaborative problem‐solving among blind programmers. Our embedding‐based topic modeling and assortativity network analysis reveal that the knowledge of blind programmers diverges between when asking and answering questions. Our findings also suggest that users who have a high cluster level in the first year of activity and members are more likely to interact with other members with different roles. Our paper contributes to the field of social computing by introducing the first large‐scale study of a unique community of blind programmers.

Evaluating a patient engagement program within a national research network

AbstractBackgroundThe Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia (EPLED) is a program within the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA). The role of EPLED is to enable those with lived experience of dementia – persons with dementia and their care partners (i.e., friends, family and caregivers) – to be meaningfully and actively involved in the CCNA research process. The EPLED Advisory Group is composed of people with lived experience of dementia.MethodThe EPLED researchers, Advisory Group and program staff worked to develop an approach to evaluate EPLED activities. Evaluation will include capturing quantitative data on Advisory Group activities (e.g., number and nature of projects) as well as Advisory Group and CCNA perspectives on the engagement activity. Existing resources were used to identify key domains and Advisory Group members were invited to share their perspectives on the most relevant questions, including by voting on existing questions or suggesting their own. Ultimately, the Patient Engagement in Research Scale (PEIRS‐22) was selected to capture Advisory Group perspectives, but with two additional questions, from the full (37‐item) PEIRS and free‐text questions. EPLED also developed a short questionnaire for CCNA researchers to evaluate their experience working with Advisory Group members, including questions related to timing, objectives, engagement, collaboration and impact. Both questionnaires were transferred to Google Forms for online data collection.ResultWe will present the EPLED program evaluation plan and data from the first year of activities. We will describe the nature of the Advisory Group’s work as well as the perceptions from members and researchers.ConclusionPatient engagement in research is becoming more widespread and, for some research funding, an expectation. Our evaluation plan will be used to improve the EPLED program and plan future activities. Our results may also help other patient partners, researchers and research organisations to develop and implement their own activities.

P89 THE INTEGRATED CARDIOGENETICS CLINIC FOR CARDIOMYOPATHIES – FIRST YEAR OF ACTIVITY RESULTING FROM A NEW ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL

Abstract Introduction Over the last year our center has empowered a specific clinic for the follow–up of patients affected by cardiomyopathies. In this context, genetic testing was offered to specific patients suspected of having genetically determined cardiomyopathies. We present here how we organized the genetic diagnostic pathway of these patients and the result of the first year of activity. Methods The diagnostic workup of patients with a suspect of genetically determined cardiomyopathies was implemented with the goal of time and resources optimization. After a comprehensive evaluation by clinical cardiologists the blood sample of patients who gave their informed consent are directly referred to the reference center for NGS analysis. In particular, patients are considered for NGS when they have familiarity for cardiomyopathies and/or when a clear explanation for their clinical picture is lacking. A dedicated platform is employed to require genetic testing by cardiologists and to provide meaningful information to the geneticists performing the genetic analysis. Once test results are available, all patients are offered a joint consultation with the cardiologist and medica geneticists to discuss the results. Results A total of 69 patients were recruited during the first year of this project. The majority of patients (60 patients) underwent NGS, whereas a minority (9 patients) underwent Sanger sequencing. The clinical suspects prompting NGS were DCM (20 patients), HCM (14 patients), ARVD (10 patients), amyloidosis (10 patients), NCM (2 patients), or others (4 patients). To date, 47 patients ha received the results of their genetic investigation, with a mean time from blood sampling to test results date of 88 days. In particular, the results of testing showed: 4 pathogenic variants (C5), 13 likely pathogenic variants (C4), 24 variants of uncertain significance (C3) and 22 negative results. The remaining 22 patients are waiting for results and subsequent genetic counseling, as they underwent test in the last 3 months. Conclusions Easy and time effective access to genetic testing is of paramount importance in the management of patients with cardiomyopathies. Here we presented the results of an innovative approach to optimize the diagnostic workup of these diseases, which allowed us to provide answers to the patients in a fast and effective way, optimizing our resources and avoiding the loss of patients during follow–up.

Properties of the Petrinja (Croatia) earthquake sequence of 2020–2021 – Results of seismological research for the first six months of activity

We present locations of almost 14,000 events from the first six months of the Petrinja (Croatia) earthquakes sequence (mainshock 29 December 2020, Mw 6.4). The catalogue is estimated complete for ML ≥ 1.20. Initially sparse local seismograph network was densified a week after the mainshock, which reduced uncertainties of focal locations by about 75%. Source-specific station corrections were used in an iterative location scheme. The hypocentres were located with 30 different sets of velocity models and program control parameters in order to gain insight into the epistemic uncertainty of each earthquake location. The bulk of epicentres are located close to, and to the SE of the causative, dextral strike-slip Petrinja fault, but considerable activity has been triggered on smaller faults, up to 25 km away. About a half of the 78 first-motion polarity focal mechanism solutions (FMS) from the full first year of activity were found to have mechanisms similar to the foreshock, the mainshock and the largest of aftershocks, while the rest indicated almost pure reverse faulting. Strike-slip mechanisms occurred more often close to the main fault. The P-axes of FMS for aftershocks were found to be on the average rotated by 16° clockwise with respect to the P-axis of the mainshock, regardless of the style of faulting. The spatial distribution of aftershocks coincides very well with the areas of positive Coulomb stress change caused by the mainshock rupture. The inferred cut-off seismogenic depth in the area (7–10 km), estimated on the basis of published values of the geothermal gradient and the assumption of predominantly granitic upper crust, is considerably shallower than the depth of the deepest reliably located aftershocks (16–18 km). This fact may be explained by considering ophiolite-dominated crust, and by increased strain rate during the sequence, which raises the ability of crustal rocks for brittle failure.

Створення та перші роки діяльності будинків вчених у РРФСР у 20-х рр. ХХ ст.

The purpose of the article is to investigate the process of the creation and the fi rst years of activity of the Houses of Scientists in the RSFSR in the 20s of the XX century based on the studied literature, periodicals, and archival sources. Th e research methodology involves the use of the principles of historicism, scientifi c objectivity, systematicity, and comprehensiveness. Th e problem-chronological, descriptive, systematization, and heuristic-search methods are applied. The scientifi c novelty lies in the fact that, for the fi rst time, the process of creating the houses of scientists in the RSFSR and the diffi culties associated with their formation and activities have been systematically analyzed. Conclusions. Th e activities of the Houses of Scientists in the 1920s were rich and interesting. Th e organizers of these institutions developed a number of events designed to promote the organization and activities of scientifi c societies and associations, calling on scientists to actively participate in public and political activities by organizing scientifi c reports, lectures, and discussion clubs on current scientifi c and social issues and topics. Th e houses of scientists became a place where it was possible to communicate, work, hold scientifi c meetings, lectures, and reports daily. In addition, per the urgent needs of the moment, dining halls and buff ets, dispensaries, vari- ous workshops, libraries, reading rooms, and dormitories were organized with them. Considerable attention was paid to the organization of cultural recreation of scientists and members of their families. Concerts, musical, literary, artistic, and family evenings, popular science lectures, mee- tings with famous fi gures of science and culture, sports competitions, fi lm screenings, interest sec- tions, etc., were oft en organized in the Houses of Scientists.

Feasibility and acceptability of a hospital‐at‐home program for adolescents with eating disorders: Making progress in community/family‐based treatments

To explore the feasibility and acceptability of a novel hospital-at-home (HaH) program for adolescent patients with a severe eating disorder (ED). Retrospective description of the program during its first year of activity. The feasibility construct is based on accessibility, recruitment, rate of retention, avoidance of hospital stays, and management of crisis situations. Caregivers completed a satisfaction questionnaire on discharge, including an item on perceived safety. All patients referred to the program were included. Fifty-nine female patients with a mean age of 14.69 years (SD=1.67) were admitted. The mean stay was 39.14 days (SD=14.47). On admission, 32.2% of patients presented nonsuicidal self-harm behavior and 47.5% had comorbid mental disorders. All patients were screened in the first 48 h after referral, and the program retention rate was 91.52%. As for use of health services, 2016.03 hospital stays were avoided, and only 16.12% of the 31 calls received for urgent care required emergency department visits. Families gave the program an overall satisfaction score of 4.95/5, and all described it as "very safe." The HaH program described is a feasible and acceptable care model in adolescents with severe EDs and comorbidities. Effectiveness studies should be performed. Eating disorders are a major concern for public health. The adolescent HaH program presented marks an advance in intensive community treatments for patients with severe EDs and comorbidities.

THE PORTUGUESE ACCOUNTANTS: A IMPORTANT ROLE ON MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING USE? AND IN FIRM PERFORMANCE?

Currently the role of accountants in firms is changing. Increasingly, accountants should have adequate skills not only in terms of financial accounting, but also skills in terms of management accounting that help in the decision-making process and in the performance of firms.The use of management accounting practices, and the respective instruments, has been gaining more and more importance in the business sector, presenting very satisfactory results, contributing greatly to the achievement of a companys competitive advantage over others operating in the same field of activity.There are some studies that suggest a weak influence on the role of management accounting in the decision-making process and in firm or organizational performance, however, they are already somewhat old, namely from the end of the 20th century. However, more recent studies show that many small and medium-sized firms cannot survive in the first years of activity, possibly due to a lack of specialists in decision-making support and they didnt implement Management Accounting (MA).The research objective of this article isto analyse the role of the Portuguese accountant, his skills and how the use of MA can contribute to the firm performance.To meet the research objective, it was decided to apply a quantitative analysis. It was developed a reflective structural equation model (SEM), using a Partial Least Squares method (PLS-SEM), which reveals the influence and impact of the Portuguese accountant and the MA on the firm performance.The results obtained allowed us to conclude that accountants in Portugal recognize the relevance of financial accounting and management accounting for the firm performance, however, they do not give relevance to the complementarity, use and applicability of these two accountings. For accountants in Portugal, management accounting is a complement to the firm performance, not being relevant to financial performance and is less important than financial accounting.

Particulars of using strategic planning models for companies in the Republic of Moldova

Recent data from the world economy show that 60 percent of all organizations cease to exist even in the first year of activity. According to the opinion of experts, one of the main causes of these failures consists in the inability of entrepreneurs to plan their business. In order for a business to be, successful, strategic planning of all business activities is necessary. That is exactly why strategic planning is one of the most important key elements of a successful business, because only with its help can possible risks be forecast and avoided. Strategic planning is a disciplined effort to produce the fundamental decisions and actions that formulate and shape what an organization is, what it does and why it does it. To achieve the best results, strategic planning involves obtaining broad information in an efficient manner, developing and exploring alternative strategies, and focusing on the future implications of present decisions. Strategic planning can help facilitate communication and participation, accommodate divergent interests and values, lead to prudent and reasonably analytical decisions, and promote successful implementation.

URBAN FIGHTERS OF THE OUN SECURITY SERVICE (1941–1951): CREATION AND ACTIVITY

On the basis of unknown and little-known materials, the peculiarities of the functioning of the urban armed forces of the SB have been revealed. It has been established that in many areas covered by the OUN network, the first began to be created in the fall of 1941 as a means of force against local wires against German and Soviet agents. The main tasks that were set before them in the first years of activity (reconnaissance, occasionally sabotage and terrorist operations) are highlighted. It was noted that with the approach of the front and in the conditions of the Soviet reality, the actions of the SB in the cities became more active, and the tasks expanded. Separately, attention is focused on one of the most important directions of the combat work of the SB in cities - the liquidation of Soviet assets. Isolated attempts to carry out mass terrorist attacks against party offi cials and detonation of administrative facilities are presented. The peculiarities of the preparation and implementation of the main armed actions (selection of executors, stages of preparation, direct execution) are revealed. Concrete examples show the effectiveness of such armed forces. At the same time, the activities of each of them became a practical demonstration of the inability of the MGB–MIA to protect their supporters. Territorial features of the functioning of the SB urban militias are shown (the size of the settlement, the number of Ukrainians, their national consciousness, the development of the local OUN network, etc.).It was found out that in 1946, the urban organizations of the OUN began to be liquidated, although the combat work of the SB itself intensified, and in important cities special combat units continued to exist for actions. Emphasis is placed on the practical importance of studying this issue in the context of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war and the enemy’s occupation of a significant territory of Ukraine in order to fi nd different forms of struggle against the occupiers and collaborators.

The Regional Registry of Sudden Cardiac Death of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Protocols, best practices and results of a multidisciplinary project

With the regional law n. 26 of December 30, 2020, the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region wanted to promote the establishment of the Regional Register of Sudden Cardiac Death, with the aim of favoring the study of all those deaths that occurred suddenly and unexpectedly under the age of 50 years in which it is not possible to trace the cause of death with certainty. Such dramatic events, difficult to quantify considering the complexity of data collection, are often accepted with resignation without any further investigation of the possible causes. The Regional Register of Sudden Cardiac Deaths of Friuli Venezia Giulia was born from this premise and from the awareness of the importance of going back with a rigorous scientific methodology and through a multidisciplinary approach, to the diagnosis of hereditary heart diseases which, when determined, allow the enrollment of relatives in a cardiological screening process and, therefore, primary prevention of potentially fatal events. The authors describe the operating procedures feeding the Regional Register and present the results of the first year of activity on 26 cases.

Influences of european integration on the formation and implementation of the tax policy of Ukraine

Methods. The results of the work are obtained through the use of methods of analysis and synthesis, dialectical approach, method of analogy, scientific generalization, methods of economic and comparative analysis. Results. The role of tax policy in the system of conceptual directions of business development of EU countries is determined. The generalization of the main practices and tax trends in the EU countries made it possible to identify priorities for implementation in Ukraine by blocks of mandatory or resultative character. Mandatory proprieties would be: observance of the principles of transparency, information exchange and fair tax competition; ratification of EU standards in the field of taxation within the framework of further harmonization of tax legislation; implementation of European approaches to the principles of fair tax competition by identifying harmful measures of state support; implementation of joint measures in the fight against fraud related to trade in excise goods, other tax abuses; implementation of measures within the framework of BEPS; ensuring the stability of the tax system with the burden of reforms in the event of a change of government. Resultative priorities would be: determination of special taxation modes within the framework of implementation of recovery and sustainability programs; preferential taxation practices for businesses in the first years of activity; preferential taxation practices for investment businesses; exemption from income taxation of young people up to a certain age; ensuring the protection of the rights of taxpayers in the conditions of judicial reform and compliance with the principles of the rule of law. Novelty. The specifics of the practice of taxation in the EU countries have been revealed and the most relevant for Ukraine approaches to the implementation of tax policy have been characterized in the context of the development of the war economy and post-war recovery. Practical value. The results of the study are of an applied nature, since the study of the European integration of Ukraine from the point of view of influence on the tax policy will ensure the system of reforms with the stabilization of management approaches. Since the tax policy in Ukraine is characterized by frequent reforms, European practices will force a series of changes with further establishment of the tax system. For Ukrainian business and population, this is a positive aspect of adaptation and formation of the market environment on a competitive basis and with the possibility of long-term planning of activities.

The Italian tremor Network (TITAN): rationale, design and preliminary findings

IntroductionThe recently released classification has revised the nosology of tremor, defining essential tremor (ET) as a syndrome and fueling an enlightened debate about some newly conceptualized entities such as ET-plus. As a result, precise information of demographics, clinical features, and about the natural history of these conditions are lacking. MethodsThe ITAlian tremor Network (TITAN) is a multicenter data collection platform, the aim of which is to prospectively assess, according to a standardized protocol, the phenomenology and natural history of tremor syndromes.ResultsIn the first year of activity, 679 patients have been recruited. The frequency of tremor syndromes varied from 32% of ET and 41% of ET-plus to less than 3% of rare forms, including focal tremors (2.30%), task-specific tremors (1.38%), isolated rest tremor (0.61%), and orthostatic tremor (0.61%). Patients with ET-plus were older and had a higher age at onset than ET, but a shorter disease duration, which might suggest that ET-plus is not a disease stage of ET. Familial aggregation of tremor and movement disorders was present in up to 60% of ET cases and in about 40% of patients with tremor combined with dystonia. The body site of tremor onset was different between tremor syndromes, with head tremor being most commonly, but not uniquely, associated with dystonia.ConclusionsThe TITAN study is anticipated to provide clinically relevant prospective information about the clinical correlates of different tremor syndromes and their specific outcomes and might serve as a basis for future etiological, pathophysiological, and therapeutic research.

Characterization of the SKA1-Low prototype station Aperture Array Verification System 2

The low frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA1-Low) will be an aperture phased array located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) site in Western Australia. It will be composed of 512 stations, each consisting of 256 log-periodic dual-polarized antennas, and will operate in the low frequency range (50 to 350 MHz) of the SKA bandwidth. The Aperture Array Verification System 2 (AAVS2), operational since late 2019, is the last full-size engineering prototype station deployed at the MRO site before the start of the SKA1-Low construction phase. The aim of this paper is to characterize the station performance through commissioning observations at six different frequencies (55, 70, 110, 160, 230, and 320 MHz) collected during its first year of activities. We describe the calibration procedure, present the resulting all-sky images and their analysis, and discuss the station calibratability and system stability. Using the difference imaging method, we also derive estimates of the SKA1-Low sensitivity for the same frequencies and compare them with those obtained through electromagnetic simulations across the entire telescope bandwidth, finding good agreement (within 13%). Moreover, our estimates exceed the SKA1-Low requirements at all considered frequencies by up to a factor of ∼2.3. Our results are very promising and allow for an initial validation of the AAVS2 prototype station performance, which is an important step toward the coming SKA1-Low telescope construction and science.

INTERACTION OF THE «LUH» AND «SOKIL» SOCIETIES WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES IN HALYCHYNA (AN EXAMPLE OF ULYCHNE VILLAGE, DROHOBYCH REGION)

Based on the documents of the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv (statutes, reports, correspondence), periodicals of the organizations «Luh» – «Luhovyk» and «Visty z Luhu», and «Sokil-Batko» – «Sokilski Visty»; memories of residents of the village of Ulychne in Drohobych region, the interaction of the «Luh» and «Sokil» societies with local authorities in the village was investigated. The time frames of the study are defined as 1926–1931, where the former is the foundation of the Luh branch in Ulychne, and the latter is the registration and the first year of activities of the Sokil organization in this village. It was stated that the Polish authorities, taking into account the successful activity of Ukrainian youth organizations and the growth of their popularity among young people, tried by all means to hinder their social and cultural work and did not allow the creation of such centers in the region. The history of the mentioned societies in Ulychne is presented. It was shown that the «Luh» organization, despite obstacles from the authorities, actively worked in 1926, fulfilling not only its commitments to its members but also the village community. During 1926–1930, despite the public interest, the community failed to restore the «Luh» and create a «Sokil» branch. Moreover, for almost 5 years, the village's public activists made every effort to register this organization, and during 1926-1931, youth from Ulychne realized their needs in the «Prosvita» reading rooms and the anti-alcohol society «Vidrodzhennia». It has been confirmed that after the official registration of the Sokil branch in 1931, the Sokil organization managed to obtain positive results from its work in a very short time, in particular, a competent leadership was formed, active youth were involved, needed funds for effective activities were raised, the creation of a material base was started, a wide cultural and educational work was done.
