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.

Previously absent from forensic debate, social scientists and historians here Mass violence, genocide, confront historical and contemporary exhumations with the application of social context to create an innovative and interdisciplinary dialogue. and the ‘forensic turn’ Never before has a single volume examined the context of motivations and interests behind these pursuits, each chapter enlightening the Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT political, social, and legal aspects of mass crime and its aftermaths. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book argues that the emergence of new technologies to facilitate the identification of dead bodies has led to a ‘forensic turn’, normalizing exhumations as a method of dealing with human remains en masse. However, are these exhumations always made for legitimate reasons? And what can we learn about societies from the way in which they deal with this consequence of mass violence? Multidisciplinary in scope, this book presents a ground-breaking selection of international case studies, including the identification of corpses by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the resurfacing ANSTETTand of human remains from the Gulag and the sites of Jewish massacres from the Holocaust.

  • Removal of the Soviet Cultural Legacy and Euromaidan Commemorations
    The Politics of Memory in Ukraine in 2014: Removal of the Soviet Cultural Legacy and Euromaidan Commemorations Author(s): Andriy Liubarets Source: Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 3 (2016): 197–214 Published by: National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy http://kmhj.ukma.edu.ua/ The Politics of Memory in Ukraine in 2014: Removal of the Soviet Cultural Legacy and Euromaidan Commemorations Andriy Liubarets National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Institute of History of Ukraine Abstract The year 2014 brought great social and cultural disruptions to Ukraine. Euromaidan, the annexation of Crimea, and war in the Donbas led to significant social and political changes, with crucial transformations in Ukrainian historical memory playing an important role in them. Public appeals to history accompanied most political processes in 2014 and were always used for self-legitimization by both sides of the conflict. Changes in attitude towards the Soviet cultural and historical legacy and the formation of a new memory about Euromaidan (“the invention of tradition”) might be considered as a major shift in this field. The aim of this article is to observe and analyze major trends of the politics of memory in Ukraine in 2014 and early 2015. Key Words: Politics of memory, historical memory, cultural legacy, de-Sovietization, commemorations. 3 Introduction On April 9, 2015, the Ukrainian parliament adopted the Law “On Condemnation of the Communist and National-Socialist (Nazi) Totalitarian Regimes in Ukraine and Prohibition of Their Propaganda and Symbols.” The law prohibited the use of Soviet symbols, monuments and street names, and made denial of the criminal nature of the Soviet and Nazi regimes a crime.
