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.

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.

    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.
