Identities with historical regions – are they adapting to modern administrative division? The case of Ukraine

Historical regions remain the most common basis for the formation or promotion of regional identities in Europe. However, regions and regional identities are in the process of constant formation and can change significantly in line with new conditions. In this paper we focused on the changes of the spatial spread of identities with historical regions in Ukraine in comparison to the initial boundaries of those. The results show that identities with historical regions are markedly adapting to modern administrative boundaries. At the same time, the symbolic value of historical regions constitutes an essential element of identity building in contemporary administrative regions

OMBUDSMEN AS NATIONAL INSTITUTION FOR PROTECTION OF THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

Under the conditions of an armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine the level of ensuring the fundamental human right to education is being reduced. Therefore there is a need to search for additional mechanisms of the protection of the right to education, among which must be singled out such an extra-judicial human rights mobile institution as an ombudsman. All this stipulates the purpose of the article: to find out the role of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, the Commissioner of Ukraine on the rights of the Child and the Educational Ombudsman to ensure the right to education in Ukraine. During the study, such methods as the analysis of scientific literature, normative legal acts in the field of the right to education and annual reports of the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights were used. The research results of the Razumkov Center (Ukraine) regarding the attitude of citizens to the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rightshave been analyzed. As a resultit was discovered that the measures taken by the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights and the Commissioner on the rights of the Child for the right to education are active and effective. In the society the legislative introduction of the post of educational ombudsman as an additional human rights institution in the field of education in Ukraine is positively evaluated. The conducted study shows that subsidiary, non-judicial means of protection of the right to education in Ukraine have greater authority among Ukrainian citizens than the judicial system

Медицина древнерусских монастырей с точки зрения современной лечебной практики

History of domestic medicine is indissolubly related to the history of the state and its political and social institutes among which Orthodox Church took a high position in times of Prince epoch. There is no doubt that in this period Church and its ramified structures executed a progressive role in the formation of the Kievan state.One of the work directions, that were actively developing in church centers - monasteries, was medical care for population and maintenance of conditions for indoor treatment in monastic shelters for patients and invalids.Till now not enough attention is paid to the research of this aspect of church activity not only from the side of explorers. Modern doctors, as a rule, are oriented on pre-revolution researches or works of soviet historians on medicine of the middle ХХ.After the adoption of Christianity in 988, a new social layer of Church people appeared in Rus. From the very beginning, one of the important directions of monasteries’ activities was service on curing the sick people, where folk medicine was losing its positions. Most well-educated monks-bookmen knew the bases of medical knowledge, attained by them during the protracted studies and self-education, some of them appeared to be talented doctors, prominent medics for their time. The monks of monastery came from the mountain of Afonasii, where at the monastery of St. Afonasii was the «hospital for the sake of sick», and brought medical knowledge».Nykonivskyi Chronicle describes the foundation by Yefrem the network of medical institutions at the temples of the whole Metropolitan church. In fact, he created the prefiguration of the entire system of health protection which covered the significant territorial and human massifs. That was unprecedented in Rus. We consider that by tradition of building temples, which came from Byzantine Empire, most of them, if not all, were equipped in bath-houses and hospitals. Churches and monasteries were in every town, ten – in the capitals of principalities, hundreds – in Kyiv. This tradition of Middle Ages and New Time’s fracture passed then to the cossack monasteries. Only after a bath-house, some surgical interferences were done – deletes of gall-stones, reduction of joints and vertebrae etc.When we compare Church and witch-doctors, chiropractors and midwives, who used to base on millennial ordinary knowledge, it should be noted that the first one had a substantially prevailing financial and theoretical base due to the «tithe» set by prince authority. This significant sum of money from the income of the state was sent on acquiring and copying of the translated books, building of alms-houses, and «strannopriimnikh domiv» at temples. Monastery or church hospital was actually inpatient department where a sick person was under day-and-night care of the specialist and educated junior personnel. Such conditions favorably differed from medical practice of magus-medicasters or secular «lichets» or «tsiriulnik» that usually consulted and cured at home. Besides, monks-doctors accumulated rich practical experience at struggle with dangerous illnesses and infections, curing wounds and seriously ill persons. The specialization of monastery doctors and names of the most respectful of them are notified in ancient documents.So, it was exactly monastery hospital that was founded by Orthodox Church and where doctors worked. Later, the rapid growth of Old Russian cities, their acquisition of German law contributed to spreading of secular medicine, formation of workshops for doctors and tsiriulniks, opening of pharmacies and educational-medicinal establishments in Lviv, Kyiv and other capitals of Ukraine/Rus. But alongside there was gratuitous, developed and full of practical experience medical branch. Coexistence of both types of medical aids was not a problem but addition to each other.Дається спроба на основі давньоруських літописних та літературних джерел провести аналіз досягнень монастирської медицини Княжої доби.

Features of seasonal dynamics of sheep Haemonchosis in the territory of Zaporizhzhya region

The article presents the results of studies on the indicators of invasiveness of domestic sheep Ovis aries (Linnaeus, 1758), the causative agent of Haemonchus contortus (Rudolphi 1803; Cobb 1898) and its characteristics depending on the season in the climatic and geographical conditions of the Zaporizhzhya region. The research was conducted during 2015–2019 on the basis of laboratories of the departments of parasitology and ichthyopathology of the Stepan Gzhytskyi National University of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnologies Lviv and Parasitology and Veterinary-Sanitary Examination of the Poltava State Agrarian Academy. Helminths were isolated by the results of complete helminthological sections of the digestive organs of the dead or slaughtered sheep, and the indicators of the extent and intensity of the invasion were established. Specific identification of the identified nematodes was performed taking into account the morphological features of mature males and females. It is proved that H. contortus is a fairly widespread species of nematodes in the population of domestic sheep in the territory of the studied region. The magnitude of the invasion of animals reached 66.36 %, the intensity of the invasion – 25.56 ± 1.51 samples/animal (for fluctuations from 1 to 79 sp./an.). It is noted that the causative agent of Haemonchosis is registered during the year. At the same time, the degree of sheep infection depends on the season of the year and is characterized by certain patterns in the extent and intensity of H. contortus invasion of sheep. The peak of the animals with the nematodes was detected in the autumn-winter period of the year, EI ranged from 73.23 to 78.57 %. The decline in invasion magnitude was observed in spring (52.63 %) and summer (59.68 %). Seasonal fluctuations in the infestation rates had some differences and were characterized by maximum values in the summer and autumn seasons ranging from 27.49 ± 2.52 to 37.35 ± 2.36 samples/animal. During the winter, the intensity of H. contortus infestation in sheep gradually decreased (13.73 ± 2.12 sp/an) and gained minimum values in the spring of the year (10.85 ± 1.78 sp./an). The conducted researches illuminate the current epizootic condition of sheep haemorrhage in the territory of Zaporizhzhya region, expand and supplement the already existing data that will allow to increase the effectiveness of the use of therapeutic and preventive measures in this invasion

Symbols of Sacred Filling of Religious Musical Art of Ukraine

In the spectrum of the research of this paper lies the sacred essence of religious musical art and the symbolic component of spiritual music of Ukraine. This scholarly research is aimed to reflect the content essence of spiritual art in the sphere of the Ukrainian musical culture. This phenomenon is analyzed both as a result of a creative (figurative) thinking in generalization, and the spiritual inner necessity of comprehension of the metaphysical. Symbol is represented as a component of the sacred content of religious art, which reflects the irrationality of the constituent forms of spiritual music. A retrospective analysis of genre wealth of Ukrainian spiritual music gives grounds to state the fact of its sacred predetermination. The essence of the diversity of the phenomenon, according to the researchers of this problem, lies in the full borrowing of the Ukrainian Orthodoxy from all the most common genres of the Byzantine church hymnography. It in turn gained the musical practice of the ancient Hebrew synagogue borrowing from it such genres as psalmody, allyluayya, antiphonal singing although in Byzantine, and later in Ukrainian music, they were filled with new musical content. The symbolism of sacredness of religious cultic singing is a feature that distinguishes it from other components of the musical space in general. It manifests itself on a two-level basis by the means of the complementary functioning both in the context of the components of the phenomenon, and in combination with other types of church art. This sacredness functions as a unified imagery that through the means of symbolism and genre diversity is adapted to the musical-aesthetic environment of Ukrainian Orthodoxy not only as a static cathegory, but also due to its specific features of musical expression and their constant evolution as developing, demonstrating its irresistible dynamics and aspirational desires
