Wartime and Ukrainian Information Technology specialists’ wellbeing: exploring the role of internal resilience resources

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has significantly impacted the subjective well-being of Ukrainian Information Technology specialists, challenging their internal resilience resources, such as belief in a just world and existential fulfillment. This exploratory study investigates how wartime conditions influenced these professionals’ internal resources and subjective well-being. Two independent samples participated in two time points, 80 specialists in 2021, before the invasion (42.5% women; M = 35.33 years; SD = 7.77), and 77 in 2022, during wartime (48.05% women; M = 34.48; SD = 7.43). Moderation and mediation analyses were applied to examine the roles of personal belief in a just world, existential fulfillment, age, and gender. Findings reveal a considerable decline in subjective well-being and a weakening of internal resources, with the exception of the general belief in a just world. Age and gender as moderators modified changes induced by war in emotional discomfort and existential fulfillment, with decrease in the latter observed in two groups: women over 35 and men under 35. An increase in emotional discomfort was noted among women over 35. Mediation analysis showed that existential fulfillment and personal belief in a just world mediated the relationship between wartime stress and subjective well-being, as well as the effect of general belief in a just world on well-being. These results suggest that targeted support for maintaining existential fulfillment and personal belief in a just world may be essential for bolstering the well-being of Information Technology specialists under wartime conditions, particularly for vulnerable age and gender groups.

Pharmaceutical care for patients with coronary heart disease: transformation of pharmaceutical practice

The implementation of the National Recovery Plan of Ukraine in the field of “Health Care”, namely the restoration of the pharmaceutical sector, improving the population’s access to medicines and their proper use, taking into account the regulatory and legal field harmonized with European legislation, in the context of providing the qualified pharmaceutical care and pharmaceutical services requires application of modern approaches based on evidence-based medicine and implementation in pharmaceutical practice. Patients with cardiovascular diseases, who are provided with medication under the Reimbursement Program and prescriptions from doctors, must be accompanied by pharmaceutical care based on evidence-based medicine to ensure proper use of drugs and rational pharmacotherapy. The aim of the study was to investigate Ukrainian information and scientific databases, scientometric databases, i. e.: Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library to identify, generalize, and systematize scientific sources of medical and pharmaceutical data on providing patient-oriented pharmaceutical care to patients with coronary heart disease and predict the future vector of research on the specified topic. Results. The analysis of the main strategies of providing pharmaceutical care to patients with cardiovascular diseases, in particular, coronary heart disease in pharmaceutical practice was carried out; the most researched clusters of providing pharmaceutical care were identified; modern trends and tendencies in the provision of pharmaceutical care to patients with coronary heart disease were summarized. Conclusions. The development of providing qualified pharmaceutical care to patients with cardiovascular diseases is based on the principles of patient-oriented pharmacy and evidence-based medicine, which requires the design and implementation into the pharmaceutical practice of a sustainable conceptual model of providing patient-oriented pharmaceutical care by clinical pharmacists and pharmacists of pharmacy institutions with the expansion of the main roles, respectively the standards of Good Pharmacy Practice.

The dynamics of development of the Ukrainian-language segment on TikTok: evolution and contemporary challenges

This article examines the dynamics of development of the Ukrainian-language segment on the TikTok platform, evaluates the influence of this social media application on the formation of Ukraine's information space, and identifies key trends and changes in Ukrainian-language content from its inception on the platform to the present day. The study explores the emergence, development, and peculiarities of the TikTok platform in the global and Ukrainian information space, identifying factors contributing to the creation and dissemination of Ukrainian-language content on TikTok. Research delves into the content produced by Ukrainian bloggers on TikTok and considers its potential impact. It is found that TikTok initially served predominantly as a Russian-language entertainment platform upon its introduction to Ukraine, evolving later into a multifunctional tool facilitating the widespread dissemination and consumption of Ukrainian-language content. The growth of the Ukrainian-language segment on TikTok contributes to the formation of national identity and culture, as well as the strengthening of the state language. Ukrainian bloggers utilize the platform to promote Ukrainian values, social initiatives, and mobilize public opinion amidst Russian military aggression. Analysis of TikTok's development dynamics provides grounds to anticipate its increasing influence on our country's information space.

УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ ДОСВІД ПРОТИДІЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНІЙ ВІЙНІ РФ В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ПОВНОМАСШТАБНОЇ ВІЙНИ

The article attempts to analyze the Ukrainian experience of countering the infor- mation war of the russian federation in Ukraine in the conditions of a full-scale war. It is noted that the russian federation exerts a permanent informational influ- ence on the Ukrainian information space to spread narratives, fakes, PSYOP, and propaganda beneficial to the Kremlin. The main features of the Russian informa- tion war in Ukraine are outlined. It has been proven that the Kremlin, among other things, actively uses historical, cultural, linguistic and religious concepts in its information wars. Therefore, Ukraine tries to actively resist such influences by denying frankly false or distorted historical facts, defending its Church, language, and culture, gets rid of everything russian in toponyms, books, leisure, etc. At the state level, several draft laws have been initiated on the ban of the entry of russian citizens, on the status and use of the Ukrainian language in various spheres. In particular, the public performance, showing, and demonstration of phonograms, videograms, and music videos by artists who are citizens of the aggressor state is prohibited, the import of publishing products from russia, the temporarily oc- cupied territories of Ukraine, and belarus, as well as the publication and sale of books authored by russian citizens, is prohibited. In Ukraine, measures have been taken to stimulate the development of Ukrainian book publishing and book dis- tribution, a system of compensation payments for renting premises, and special certificates for the purchase of books has been worked out. Various forms of counteraction to russian informational influences are analyzed. These include the activity of the political and military leadership in social net- works, the video address of the President and the activity of other key perso- nalities, and the confrontation of memes. It is noted that the authorities, Ukrai- nian figures of culture, science, sports, show business, specialists in the field of information and communication technologies, etc., joined the countermeasures against the informational influences of the russian federation. It is indicated that the Ukrainian authorities establish and record the facts of mass murders of Ukrai- nians, terrorist acts, shelling, torture, sexual violence, and other crimes by the russian army. The aim is to counter russian propaganda, unite the world commu- nity on the side of truth, and bring criminals to justice. It has been proven that various ministries and agencies are working to counteract Russian informational influences, in particular the Center for the Prevention of Disinformation at the National Security Council of Ukraine, and the Information Security Strategy is being implemented. It has been established that Ukraini- ans have learned to comply with the instructions of the authorities regarding the prohibition of filming or photographing places where rockets fall or other arri- vals. The movement of military equipment, places of deployment of weapons, equipment, personnel, etc., so that it does not under any circumstances fall into the hands of the enemy. Ukrainians have understood how important it is not to spread dubious or unverified information on their pages on social networks, and how important it is to verify information and its source. And how, ultimately, it is important to observe banal rules of information hygiene and increase the level of media literacy.

Justice & fairness: the relationship and the corruption factor

The article analyzes the concepts of justice and fairness. The highest level of corruption in Ukraine, according to ordinary citizens, scientists, and experts, is precisely in the sphere of justice. The criminogenic basis of widespread corruption in Ukraine is malfeasance in the judicial system of Ukraine. Such actions of judges provide an opportunity for many corrupt persons to avoid punishment for corrupt actions. Since justice naturally includes «justice» as an imperative component, the expediency of using the concept of «fair justice» in scientific investigations should be questioned. At the same time, the formula «justice = justice» does not work in Ukraine. And corruption is the main negative factor of this situation. Therefore, in the Ukrainian information space, we quite often come across the wording «fair justice», which emphasizes the problems of modern justice in Ukraine (for example, the USAID project «Fair Justice»). Recognizing the protection of the rights and freedoms of every citizen of Ukraine by a fair court as an absolute, it should be noted that the concepts «right to a fair trial» and «principle of natural justice» are consistent. Justice is a universal natural idea embodied in the legal system of any social legal state. Justice, by its very nature, means that the violated right, justice, is restored. Therefore, justice during the war is first and foremost a fair punishment for both the Russian occupiers and the traitors of Ukraine, the inevitability of responsibility for those who betrayed their Motherland. At the same time, unfair justice against corrupt officials in state authorities, its selectivity, in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction of the country, can cause devastating consequences for the state. There must be a systematic approach, the political will of the state leadership, the inevitability of responsibility for everyone without excluding persons involved in corruption. Key words: justice, fairness, right to a fair trial, corruption, war crime, collective victim, court decision, purpose, method, principle, rule of law, legality, access to justice, national security, equality before the law.

Compliance Level of Adopting and Approving Harmonised National Standards in Information Sciences: Current State and Prospects

The aim of the article is to study the level of acceptance and approval, to reveal the status and outline the prospects for harmonising national standards in accordance with international normative documents in the field of information sciences, library, publishing and archival studies. Reresearch methods. The offered research grounds on a set of general scientific methods. In the course of studying the professional literature of scientific articles for the set goal and solving the tasks, the methods of analysis and synthesis, generalisation and systematisation, the method of grouping national standards according to the code designations of the National Standard 004: 2020 of the “Ukrainian Classifier of Regulatory Documents” are used, which make it possible to draw conclusions about the methods and the level of accepted and approved harmonised standards in information sciences. The scientific novelty of the article consists in revealing the level of adopting and approving harmonised national standards in information, library, publishing and archival studies in accordance with international regulatory documents, which ensures a high-quality level of development of standardisation in Ukraine. Main conclusions. The first adopted and approved national standards in information, library, publishing and archival studies as harmonised with international norms, requirements, rules and regulatory provisions according to the degree of compliance are mostly identical or modified, some of them are not equivalent to international regulatory documents. During the last decade the Ukrainian information community development the degree of adoption and harmonisation of national standards in relation to international normative documents has increased to 100 %, which makes it possible to improve information support, optimise the fund of normative documents, scientific and terminological base, analytical and synthetic processing of scientific and technical information, documentary, informational, library, publishing and archival studies. As a rule, harmonisation and implementation of international standards in the information sphere is a priority task for ensuring a qualitatively new level of standardisation development in Ukraine.

The aim of the article is to study the state and forms of populariІation of V. Vynnychenko’s epistolary by archival, museum and library establishments as institutions of social memory during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Research methods are presented by general scientific principles of the unity of theory and practice, the use of historical and genetic, synergistic, social and communication, interdisciplinary approaches, source research, analysis and synthesis, which make it possible to find out the specifics of V. Vynnychenko’s epistolary popularisation in documentary and communication institutions of modern Ukraine. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the study of the activity of archives, museums and libraries during the war events in Ukraine, particularly, in the hometown of V. Vynnychenko, Kropyvnytskyi, using the information resource of his epistolary in objective cognition of famous personalities, introducing into scientific circulation epistolary achievements in assessment by a sender and addressees of the policy of Russian Bilshoviks in Ukraine in the early 1930s, and the problems of national culture as an important component of the Ukrainian information space, which contributes to the dissemination of true historical and cultural data, counteraction of hostile disinformation, modelling of national identity and public opinion. Main conclusions. The popularisation of V. Vynnychenko’s epistolary heritage in modern documentary and communication institutions of Ukraine is based on the use of information and communication technologies, as well as reproduction of information sources in digital formats of the following strategic directions: 1) development of optimal forms of interaction on a partnership ground; 2) intensification of social communications due to the expansion of the interaction methods spectrum, and diversification of forms (lectures, meetings, round tables, conferences, etc.); 3) research and rational dissemination of Ukrainian and foreign experience, which enables the introduction of the documentary resource of V. Vynnychenko’s letters and his addressees to the global information space. The popularisation effectiveness of V. Vynnychenko’s epistolary as a valuable historical and cultural document, an authentic primary source in the objective understanding of historical and cultural information, and unique personalities of a sender and addressees is determined by modern means of reputation marketing (advertising, Google tools, social networks, video presentations, webinars, workshops classes, QR codes, online chats, etc.); cooperation with the media is presented by the backgrounder, press release, media kit, combination of text, photo and video in reports, etc.

The Russian Strategy of Concept Substitution in Facebook and Telegram economic content. Example of the Russian–Ukrainian War in the Period 2014–2023

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To analyze manipulative pro-Russian materials on social networks during the war that apply the “replacement of concepts” method. THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: The main tasks are the timely detection and counteraction of Russian propaganda, which uses disinformation technologies in the information war against Ukraine; the use of visualization to disprove falsehoods, and determination of the use of the “replacement of concepts” method on social networks. The research methodology used on the Russian tactics of concept substitution on social platforms can be characterized as a synthesis of techniques that should be justified by the interchangeability of traditional objects of media research: author (initiator) – message – intermediary (mediator) – receiver. This research aims to synthesize and combine monitoring methods, content analysis, and comparative analysis. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Several publications were selected. Some contained inaccurate information, while others contained accurate, factual information. As a result of comparing these materials, disinformation was refuted, and the importance of timely detection of the “concept substitution” technique used by pro-Russian channels in the Ukrainian information space was described. RESEARCH RESULTS: The study showed that Russian propaganda often uses concept substitution on Facebook and Telegram. This made it possible to explain how the most common tactics, technologies, and tools of concept substitution work and to fight against their spread. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: In Russia’s war against Ukraine, Kremlin propaganda tries to alter linguistic reality by “suppressing” certain words. Words emphasizing the fact of war and its negative consequences have been banned in Russian media and social networks.

Індексування негативного сентименту українськомовного тексту системою “TextAttributor 1.0”

Background. In the twenty-first century, the information space is a full-fledged battlefield. In the Ukrainian information space, the problem of text toxicity and hate speech is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, the interest of researchers in markers of negative textual tone, especially in media texts, is constantly growing. The article describes the structure and results of a separate module of the automatic system of statistical parameterization of Ukrainian-language texts “TextAttributor 1.0” – determination of the text toxicity index. The tasks are solved by two methods: the method of dictionaries and rules (calculation of statistical parameters) and the method of machine learning. The results of the study are based on the material of the corpus of online media texts of political discourse with a volume of 10 million word occurrences. To achieve this goal, a lexicographic database was created, including three dictionaries: Emotiogens, Hate Speech, and Toxic Compounds, and training and control samples of texts were formed to estimate the parameters of the selected model using machine learning. The project chose a computationally efficient architecture based on the fastText methodology and tools. The toxicity index is calculated by verbally identifying the negative sentiment of the text based on the linguistic and software-generated and is detected by the system-generated linguistic examination of the text, which displays a statistical map of semantic classes of negative vocabulary by classification markers of lexicographic lists, and the output of the neural network. Сonclusions.The “TextAttributor 1.0” system is at the stage of testing and improving its functionality, so the article describes an intermediate β-version of the system, but the results obtained in determining toxicity show that the developed methodology for quantifying verbal means by semantic parameters (negative emotionality) using dictionaries and rules and machine learning is effective in achieving the tasks set and makes it possible not only to determine the boundary between toxic and neutral text but also to approach the solution of the problem based on the lexical categories inherent in the text. The methodology for developing a module for determining the toxicity of media text in the “TextAttributor 1.0” system was described and published on the web application page in April 2024, but this information is published for the first time in the form of a research article.

Формування українського національного інформаційного простору в умовах війни

Statement of the problem and its relevance. After the Russian aggression, an increasing number of citizens began to realize the importance of the Ukrainian language and culture for the preservation of their territory and the integrity of the state. This raises the question of the need at the state level to create all the necessary conditions for strengthening the communicative and demographic potential of the Ukrainian language, improving the linguistic culture of the population, increasing the share of Ukrainian- language cultural and informational products, and enhancing the status of the Ukrainian language as a language of interethnic communication and understanding. The aim of the research and its main objectives are to investigate the state and issues related to the formation of the Ukrainian national information space in the context of war, substantiate the need for improving the state language policy towards the promotion of the Ukrainian language, and strengthening the Ukrainian language in the communicative and information space of Ukraine. Analysis of recent research and publications. The development of the information society in Ukraine and the issues of state information policy in Ukraine have been studied by I. Binko, V. Karpenko, O. Kondratenko, O. Lytvynenko, S. Matviyenko, and Yu. Shmalenko. The delineation of previously unresolved parts of the overall problem. Unresolved important issues include the formation of the Ukrainian national information space, where the Ukrainian state language would dominate, and the quality of Ukrainian- language content. This has become particularly relevant during the war, as the functioning of the Ukrainian national information space impacts national consolidation and the formation of Ukrainian national identity. Teaching the main research material with an explanation of the obtained results. The national information space is an important factor in ensuring the informational component of national security and the formation of national identity. It should be based on objective information, quality national informational products in the state language, and cultural diversity. A crucial aspect in the process of shaping and operating the Ukrainian information space in accordance with new socio-political realities is ensuring citizens' rights to receive objective information in the state language and the creation of high-quality Ukrainian- language content. The legal basis for these processes is provided by the laws of Ukraine "On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as the State Language" and "On Media." Conclusions and Prospects for Further Research. In the process of shaping the Ukrainian language and information space and defending national interests in the information sphere, it is advisable to ensure: legislative recognition of the status of the national information space, protection at the legislative level of the Ukrainian information space from foreign influences; state support (tax, financial, organizational) in the creation and popularization of quality Ukrainian-language cultural and informational products; filling the media space of Ukraine (television, radio), internet resources with Ukrainian- language cultural products; monitoring compliance with legislation regarding the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language. The subject of further scientific research will be the question of public initiatives to promote the formation and protection of the Ukrainian national information space.

Neologisms in the media coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war in the context of information warfare

The article provides a comprehensive account of English words and phrases that gained media prominence during the first 10 months of the Russia-Ukraine war. Three categories of lexical units were identified: lexical neologisms (new coinages), such as sanctionista, war fatigue, Zelensky-washing, etc.; semantic neologisms – words and phrases that had existed prior to the war, but acquired new meanings due to it – such as deputinization, Russian exodus, etc.; units that had been used occasionally and inconsistently up to 2022, but gained new relevance in light of the war – such as ruscism, stalinization, digital iron curtain, etc. Some of the units under study were first coined in the Ukrainian or Russian languages and subsequently spread to other languages (missile terrorism, ruscism), while others are limited to English only and have no equivalents in either Ukrainian or Russian (sanctionista, archivocide). Focusing on news media and social media discourse on the Russia-Ukraine war, we trace the etymology of these words and phrases, their recurrence and context of use, as well as the pragmatic value they have in shaping public stance on the war in the West. We also take into consideration humorous occasionalisms, memes and monikers that trended on social media during this period of the war, providing a way of tension release while also contributing to Ukrainian information warfare and fundraising purposes. The study is instrumental in driving our understanding of the mechanisms of media framing of emotionally loaded and potentially dividing political issues.

The spread of Russian disinformation within the Ukrainian information field

The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the methods of disinformation utilized by Russia to disseminate information in the Ukrainian information field. The main tasks include defining the concept of disinformation and explaining its societal dangers, characterising Information-Psychological Operations (IPSO) as a component of Russia's disinformation campaign against Ukraine and investigating the most prevalent elements utilised by Russia in the dissemination of disinformation. This study is aimed at the synthesis and combination of methods of monitoring, content analysis, and comparative analysis. The article selects publications that exhibit disinformation targeted at Ukrainian society. Disinformation propagated by Russia is subsequently refuted by either foreign or Ukrainian publications, including the “NotaEnota” organisation. The study reveals that Russian disinformation aims to propagate specific narratives and manipulate mass consciousness. Disinformation involves intentionally creating misleading and manipulative content, often in the form of artificially created fakes. The information field of Ukraine has become the primary battleground for Russia's hybrid warfare tactics, which include disinformation, propaganda, and fakes. To effectively counter these tactics, society needs to develop critical thinking skills and media literacy to discern and evaluate information critically. Future research aims to delve deeper into the methods employed in creating disinformation, their objectives, and potential strategies to prevent or counteract their influence.

DISINFORMATION AS A PSYOP COMPONENT IN MEGADISCOURSE: MANIPULATIVE ASPECT (ON THE EXAMPLE OF FULL-SCALE INVASION PERIOD OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR)

The article is dedicated to the research on disinformation as a component of psychological operations (PsyOps) in megadiscourse. The purpose of the research is the emphasis of features of disinformation as the PsyOps component used against Ukraine. The aim is achieved by execution of a list of tasks: the terms “disinformation”, “fake”, “fake тnews”, “unconscious disinformation” were differentiated and clarified; the main features of disinformation as of a powerful manipulation and a significant instrument of hybrid warfare were distinguished; the author’s classification of the types of disinformation of the russian-Ukrainian war by thematic focus is proposed. The object of the research is the phenomenon of disinformation as the component of PsyOps in megadiscourse during the period of full-scale war, the subject of the research is the realisation of the types of disinformation in Ukrainian information field. The following methods of the research were used: descriptive – for distinguishing the features of disinformation as a phenomenon, its types; the method of analysis and synthesis for identification of the types of disinformation, establishing its functional characteristics and combining them into a single complex; the method of induction for specification of general conclusions. Attention is focused on the fact that disinformation is a broader concept that иencompasses military deception of the country, population, army and allies of the enemy. The author’s classification of the types of disinformation by thematic focus is proposed, where military, social, cultural, coalitional types were distinguished, each of which has different influential effect on the target audience. It was emphasised that russian disinformation has got a broad system of its thematic focus, which in its turn emphasises its manipulative effects. The influential effects which are achieved by spreading disinformation in social media were also analysed, the leading of which are: adjusting the picture of the world of the enemy state’s population in one’s own interests, psychological destabilisation of the population and the army, justification of one’s own armed aggression, and shifting the most unfavourable messages from the global and regional agenda. We see the prospects of the research in further profound study of the PsyOps components in megadiscourse, as well as the ways of neutralisation of disinformation in the context of hybrid warfare, including the creation of formulaic model of detection of disinformation in megadiscourse.

Leveraging the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel (CUAET) program to facilitate talent mobility

ABSTRACT This paper examines the potential for leveraging the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) Program to facilitate the mobility of Ukrainian Information Technology (IT) professionals from Ukraine into Canada. The paper revisits the situation following Russia’s invasion of Crimea (2014), the redirection of specific talent flows prior and during the pandemic and aims to assess Canada's attractiveness as a talent destination. It focuses on the implications of the war on Canada's attraction and retention of IT skilled workers from Ukraine, and whether the measures implemented by the Government of Canada were effective in providing incentives. Ultimately, this paper considers the CUAET, which was recently extended to continue assisting Ukrainians fleeing the war, as a model to replicate and utilize when responding to displacement crises – thus adding it to Canada’s migration diplomacy and foreign policy toolkit.
