THE DEFENSE OF QUALIFICATION WORKS OF THE SECOND (MASTER’S) LEVEL OF EDUCATION IN THE SPECIALTY 163 – BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING UNDER THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM “ORTHOPEDIC TECHNOLOGIES AND ENGINEERING” TOOK PLACE
30.12.2022
Another defense of qualification works of the second (master’s) level of education in the specialty 163 – Biomedical Engineering under the educational program “Orthopedic Technologies and Engineering” took place. This educational program is based on many years of experience of cooperation between the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics and the Ukrainian Research Institute of Prosthetics, Prosthetics and Rehabilitation (UkrNDIprosthetics) and the availability of a modern training base, as a result of which the project “Creation of Prosthetic and Orthotic Education in Ukraine” is being implemented, which is aimed at developing training programs for teachers-trainers in prosthetics and orthotics. This project operates on the basis of an international agreement between the Ukrainian Research Institute of Prosthetics, NURE (Ukraine) and the School of Rehabilitation Sciences Human Study, e.v. (Germany). As a result, within the framework of the specialty 163 – Biomedical Engineering, a program for the training of teachers-trainers in prosthetics and orthotics under the educational program “Orthopedic Technology and Engineering”, which is developed in accordance with the international standard ISPO category II, has been launched. Within the framework of the project it is planned to publish 10 textbooks on the disciplines of the educational program, of which 4 have already been published.
All masters received excellent grades, they are real specialists and the results of their work are directly implemented in practice.
We wish our graduates future success and professional growth in this very important activity in the field of prosthetics and orthotics!
Work together for the Victory!

Confirmation of the work of the Branch “Girls STEM”
29.12.2022
On December 29, 2022, the final meeting of the branches of the “Girls STEM” initiative took place.
The team of the branch on the basis of the MTS department submitted the work report for 2022, which confirmed the status of the branch and received a certificate.
Branch coordinators discussed the achievements of the past year and created a plan of initiatives for the coming year.
The coordinator of the initiative in Ukraine, Oksana Gerasimenko, invited branches to join the coordinators’ mentoring program, the celebration of Girls in ICT Day, the national Girls’ Day and other interesting and useful events in the coming year.
Such meetings inspire and give an opportunity to develop in such a difficult time.
The #GirlsSTEM branch at the MTS department has been operating since 2020, confirming its status annually.
The #GirlsSTEM initiative takes place within the framework of the “Springboard to Equality” project with the financial support of the Swedish government and contributes to the development of the university’s SDGS.
Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin’s Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine
28.12.2022
In December 2022, Oxford University Press published the book Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin’s Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine.
About the Author: Lynne Viola is University Professor of History at the University of Toronto. Her books include The Unknown Gulag and Stalinist Perpetrators on Trial (OUP, 2017) and The Unknown Gulag: The Lost World of Stalin’s Special Settlements (OUP, 2007). Marc Junge is Senior Researcher of Eastern European History at the University of Erlangen. His publications include Stalin’s Mass Repression and the Cold War Paradigm and Nation-Building by Terror in Soviet Georgia.
Vadym Zolotar’ov, associate professor Department of Information and Network Engineering, is the author of Chapter 4 of the book.
Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin’s Great Terror. On November 1938, the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR issued a directive halting mass operations in repression. This directive not only served to end the mass operations, but led to the release of large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete. At the same time, it resulted in a “purge of the purgers,” resulting in the scapegoating and arrests of hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror at regional and local levels. This episode in the Great Terror remained hidden from view for decades due to the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police. The opening of the Ukrainian security police archives in the 2010s allowed historians for the first time to begin to excavate this chapter in the history of the Great Terror. This collection of essays illuminates the world of the NKVD perpetrator and the mechanics and logistics of the terror at the local level through an examination of the criminal files of a series of mid-level NKVD operatives arrested at the end of the Great Terror in Soviet Ukraine. It reveals the complex relations between center and periphery, illustrating both Stalin’s central role in the architecture of the terror and NKVD perpetrators’ agency in implementing it.
In Chapter 4, Vadym Zolotar’ov details the career of D. A. Pertsov who, like many of the UNKVD leaders in Ukraine at this time, was a client of Uspenskii. Pertsov was an expert in interrogating detained NKVD operatives both in NKVD Ukraine and in the Kharkov Oblast UNKVD. He led by example, frequently walking in on interrogations to threaten and torture those who hesitated to confess. He also worked in the Polish operations. He was arrested in November 1938. He was sentenced to fifteen years and died in a logging camp in 1948, having been charged anew with counterrevolutionary crimes, an unusual sentence during this NKVD purge, following an earlier more lenient sentence of four years for “violations of socialist legality.” The chapter, like many others, demonstrates the importance of personal connections among different groups of NKVD workers.

Monograph “Modelling of gunshot wounds” published
26.12.2022
The monograph “Modelling of Gunshot Wounds”, which presents innovative models for the diagnosis of gunshot wounds, has recently been published. Experimental implementation of the research results has proven their high efficiency for both diagnosis and treatment of gunshot wounds.
The monograph was published thanks to many years of close cooperation between the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, the Military Medical Clinical Centre of the Northern Region, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, and many other leading institutions.
From the side of NURE, the monograph was contributed by the staff of the Department of Software Engineering: Professor Kyrylo Smeliakov, Associate Professor Anastasiia Chupryna, and PhD student Yevhen Vakulik.

NURE supports internally displaced persons
26.12.2022
The internally displaced persons living in the university dormitories received another batch of humanitarian aid: warm clothes and sweets.
Due to the deterioration of weather conditions and the approach of frost, power generating companies of Ukraine warn of possible power outages due to the increased load on the country’s energy system.
In cooperation with local authorities and civil-military cooperation bodies of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, KHNURE organised the delivery of warm clothes, blankets and hygiene products. The children also received New Year’s gifts: educational toys and sweet presents.
“Children are our future. They deserve to have a happy childhood and our efforts are a common goal,” said Oksana Anodina, a representative of civil-military cooperation of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who initiated the event.

We would like to remind you that our university was among the first in Kharkiv to respond to the request of the local authorities to accommodate temporary migrants who lost their homes due to the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The university has provided basic needs, and thanks to cooperation with international organisations, we are providing comprehensive support to the victims of the war. The readiness of NURE to take these steps underlines the importance of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which are now the benchmarks for building a sustainable civilised society.
