The article explores the process of rethinking the heritage of World War II in Austrian literature of the second half of the twentieth century. We show that this issue has become leading in the work of the group of Austrian playwrights “Schocktheater”, who wrote plays aimed at awakening the public, changing people’s views on social problems and outstanding authors, laureate of the Nobel Prize for Literature Elfrida Jelinek and novelist Christoph Ransmire. The paper provides an overview of the cultural and political events of the 1980s that influenced the choice of subjects and problems of texts of that time. On the example of novels by Chr. Ransmair “The Last World” and El. Jelinek “Wonderful, wonderful times”, we show how each of the authors in his own unique way embodies the realities of modern Austria, discussing the pressing problems of modernity (the legacy of Nazism and the attitude of different generations to it, the problem of “fathers and children” , a poet and a government, an art and a state as eternal and temporary ...). The main theme uniting the writers’ work is the theme of the Austrian “oblivion” of their own Nazi past, which leads to both global and personal catastrophes. Artists are trying to answer the key questions of our time – what is the reason for the stability of totalitarianism, the attractiveness of the ideas of violence, cruelty, covering the future of human civilization. The authors warn people who believe in their right to control the fate of other people at their own discretion. When a “man with an ax” is appointed a prophet, he destroys everything in his path that does not fit into his idea of what is due. A civilization that has advanced the principle of violence as one of the proofs of the significance of human destiny is doomed.

The article deals with the analysis of situations of uncertainty in various spheres of modern society life that have arisen as a result of the rapid development of digital technologies; virtualization of many components of modern human life; the increasing role of visual information in communication; drastic changes in the labor market, in intellectual practices and the formation of new requirements for the education and vocational training system. We have proposed to analyze such situations using the principle of “incomplete comprehension of object”, and we carried out a consideration of its content and indicated its methodological role. To our mind, one of the most important features of this principle is the focus on a set of ambiguous, non-obvious links between the internal elements of an object, as well as during its interactions with agents of external influence in a situation of uncertainty. Besides, we examined its heuristic and predictive capabilities using examples of analysis of specific typical situations in various spheres of social life, primarily related to the labor market and education in a digital culture.

The article compares scientific facts and analyzes the prospects for the development of the export potential of Ukraine in the field of green energy against the background of an increase in the cost of silver used in the production of solar panels, and due to difficulties in meeting the increased demand for it by mining companies, as well as the expected reduction in the cost of thermonuclear energy due to the rapid implementation of the modified, thanks to advanced artificial intelligence systems, the design of the SPARC reactor. Economic and mathematical models for the regulation of stocks of material resources and equipment, including silver-containing ones, are proposed, which make it possible to study the invariants of managerial decisions and minimize costs. The main factors affecting the volume of formation of stocks are generalized, the types of costs associated with the management of stocks of material resources, the main types of economic and mathematical models for regulating stocks and computer programs available on the market that implement models and methods of supply management and stocks of material resources are systematized.

Aim: To study genetic diversity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains circulating in intensive care unit (ICU), to determine the source of these strains and duration of circulation of epidemically-significant clone in the hospital., Materials and Methods: Genotyping of 106 P. aeruginosa strains isolated from patients, clinical specimens and fomites was performed by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis with oligonucleotide primer Sh1 of 10 bp long., Results: Out of 106 P. aeruginosa isolates, 72.6% belonged to the same genotype, which was dominated in ICU during whole study period. It was established that 58.3% of examined patients were colonized by identical strains belonged to prevalent genotype that indicates the intrahospital transmission of epidemic strain., Conclusion: Obtained data show that during the period of observation (15 months) one clone of P. aeruginosa dominated in ICU, which was characterized by multiple resistance to antibiotics and caused nosocomial infection in 58.3% of patients. This confirms the need of continuous molecular-microbiological monitoring of hospital microflora in order to early detect potentially dangerous epidemic hospital strains, which are able to cause nosocomial infections.
