Sheremeta. Bounded l-index and l-M-index and compositions of analytic functions, Mat. Stud. 48 (2017), 180–188. We partially proved a conjecture from Mat. Stud. 47 (2017), no.2, 207{210: for an entire function f the function H(z) = f(1=(1−z)n), n 2 N, is of bounded l-index in C n f0g with l(jzj) = β=(1 − jzj)n+1, β > 1, if and only if f is of bounded index. Also the boundedness of l-M- index of the function H is investigated. For arbitrary entire functions f and g the boundedness of the l-M-index of the function F (z) = f(g(z)) is studied with respect to boundedness of the 0 fj j j j g M-index of a function f with l(r) = Mg(r);Mg(r) = max g(z) : z = r : 1. Introduction. In the paper, we consider compositions of such types H(z)=f((1−z)−n); n 2 N; and F (z) = f(g(z)); where f and g are entire functions. There are presented investi- gations of boundedness of l-index and l-M-index for these composite functions, where l is a positive continuous function in some domain G ⊆ C: We need some definitions and notations. Let G be an arbitrary domain in C and l be a positive and continuous function in G such that for all z 2 G β l(z) > ; β = const > 1: (1) distfz; @Gg An analytic function f in G is said ([17, 21]) to be of bounded l-index if there exists N 2 Z+ such that for all n 2 Z+ and z 2 G { } jf (n)(z)j jf (k)(z)j ≤ max : 0 ≤ k ≤ N : (2) n!ln(z) k!lk(z) The least such integer is called the l-index of f and is denoted by N(f; l; G).

    IVAN FRANKO SHORT STORIES Ivan Franko SHORT STO RIES Dnipro Publishers Kiev * 1977 У1 Ф83 Іван Франко ОПОВІДАННЯ Translated from the Ukrainian Cover pictures reproduced from engravings by Olena Kulchitska Dnipro Publishers, 1977 70303—180 Ф ■171-77 M205(04)—77 $ Today, more than a hundred years after the outstanding Uk­ rainian author and revolutionary democrat Ivan Franko published his first works, the lasting esthetic and educational value of his numerous and diverse writings continues to be as widely recognized as ever. This is largely due to the fact that the interests and aspirations of the common people were the cause to which Ivan Franko devoted all of his many and varied talents — in fact, his whole life. Throughout his literary career his creative effort was invariably centered on working people and their struggle for a better future. Ivan Franko was a great poet, prose-writer, playwright, literary critic and translator, journalist and public figure. He left behind a rich legacy made up of nearly five thousand fiction and non-fiction works, theoretical essays and articles written in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, German and other languages. His very name has come to symbolize a whole epoch in the history of Ukrainian letters, culture and social science. I. Franko’s works quickly won widespread recognition not only within his homeland but also far beyond its boundaries. Already during his lifetime they were published in Russia, Germany, Poland, Bohemia, Slo­ vakia, Hungary, the United States, Canada and other countries. The writings of Ivan Franko are permeated with the spirit of internationalism. He stressed that the ability to combine national traits with what is common to all people regardless of their nationality, to develop the distinctive national form, filling it with the universal human content, was essential to any major author’s stature, as exemplified by the literary work of his great precursor and teacher Taras Shevchenko.

  • THE DEVELOPMENT of BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN the 1920S and 1940S
    Journal of Ethnology and Folkloristics 14 (2): 44–66 DOI: 10.2478/jef-2020-0015 THE DEVELOPMENT OF BANDURA MUSIC ART BETWEEN THE 1920s A N D 1940s MARYNA BEREZUTSKA Associate professor Department of Folk Instruments M. Glinka Dnipropetrovsk Academy of Music Lyvarna street 10, 49044 Dnipro, Ukraine e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bandura art is a unique phenomenon of Ukrainian culture, inextricably linked with the history of the Ukrainian people. The study is dedicated to one of the most tragic periods in the history of bandura art, that of the 1920s–1940s, during which the Bolsheviks were creating, expanding and strengthening the Soviet Union. Art in a multinational state at this time was supposed to be national by form and socialist by content in accordance with the concept of Bolshevik cultural policy; it also had to serve Soviet propaganda. Bandura art has always been national by its content, and professional by its form, so conflict was inevitable. The Bolsheviks embodied their cultural policy through administrative and power methods: they created numerous bandurist ensembles and imposed a repertoire that glorified the Communist Party and the Soviet system. As a result, the development of bandura art stagnated significantly, although it did not die completely. At the same time, in the post-war years this policy provoked the emigration of many professional bandurists to the USA and Canada, thus promoting the active spread of bandura art in the Ukrainian Diaspora. KEYWORDS: bandura art • bandurists • kobzars INTRODUCTION The bandura is a unique Ukrainian folk instrument whose history is closely connected with the Ukrainian nation’s history.

  • Contemporary Flags of the Ukrainian Regions: Old Traditions and New Designs
    Contemporary flags of the Ukrainian regions: Old traditions and new designs Andriy Grechylo Abstract Ukraine consists of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and 24 oblasts (regions or provinces). The new law on local self-governments, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine in 1997, allowed local authorities to confirm the coats of arms, flags, and other symbols of oblasts, rayons (districts), cities, towns, and villages. Over the last six years, all oblasts have adopted their own symbols. Most of them have already adopted regional flags. Many of these flags have old historical signs and colours (Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, etc.), but some oblasts have chosen new designs (Donetsk, Cherkasy, Kherson, and others). Ukraine is divided into 25 administrative territories — 24 oblasts (provinces or re- gions) and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Two cities, Kyiv and Sevastopol, have a special, national status. The oblast borders have remained unchanged since 1959, when Drohobych oblast was joined to the Lviv oblast (Fig. 1). After the disintegration of the Ruthenian Kingdom (Galician-Volynian State) in the middle of the 14th c., the Ukrainian lands were divided among various neighbour- ing countries. During this time the arms of separate administrative territories were used. When Ukraine was absorbed into the USSR, none of the oblasts possessed their own arms or flag. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of Ukrainian independence did a process of the formation of symbols of administrative territories begin.
