The publication deals with the highlighting the peculiarities of the Ukrainians life in the Far East during the Soviet era. The letter of a Ukrainian guest worker Mykola Havrysh is introduced to scientific circulation in the publication. M. Havrysh worked on the development of oil fields in Western Siberia during the stagnation period and once visited his relatives in the Primorsky Krai. The letter describing the trip was addressed to the author's parents in Sumy Oblast. The source is roughly dated to the second half of the 1970s. The text illustrates the everyday life and leisure activities of Ukrainians in the Far East, mentions facts and details that are examples of their national self-identification.

The article offers an approach to the popularization of innovative technologies of complex processing of polymer-containing waste into composite polymer materials and examples of their use for protective elements of special clothing. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the analysis and systematization of innovative technologies for designing special clothing with increased protective properties due to the use of composite polymer materials at all stages of creation and promotion of products to the fashion market. The practical significance lies in increasing the innovative potential of the components of design projects of modern special clothing on the example of improving the design processes of special purpose products in the conditions of ULINE LLC in Vynohradiv. The innovations of artistic and aesthetic factors include creative sketches of project images of models-ideas of men’s work overalls for ULINE LLP in Vynohradiv, which were developed and proposed as a number of color solutions in the artistic system “Family” on the basis of digitalization. In order to improve the strategy of promoting the fashion brand “ULINE” of Vynogradiv and selling the models of manufactured men’s work overalls on the fashion market, a database of visual transformations of images was developed for the presentation of special purpose products on the website of this company with the aim of their further integration into fashion clothing design. The innovations of the utilitarian factors of special clothing include the methods of providing workwear products of ULINE LLC, Vynohradiv, with increased wear resistance due to additional structural elements by processing them with polymer compositions. The study proposed rational methods of processing overlays with a polymer coating. Sewing equipment is selected for sealing the seams of special clothing. According to the results of research, experimental samples of men’s work overalls with removable protective elements in the knee area were made in the conditions of ULINE LLC in Vynohradiv to improve the operational characteristics of the clothing.

It appears that visual complaints, as they are expressed by numerous TV screen operators, are associated with common eye defects. Our results based on a survey with questionnaires and visual testing sustain such an hypothesis. As a consequence, solving eye problems at TV screens requires both the improvement of visual displays and the visual adaptation of users. If impossible working-time should be reduced.

The comparison between complaints, functional defects and vitamin deficiencies is reported for several professional groups characterized by different work conditions. Results suggest that complaints are an useful indicator of visual load and that retinal sensitivity to the light is especially tried. Longitudinal studies are required to verify whether some functional alterations on the aging process of the eye can be aggravated by a visual overload. Visual complaints, functional defects and vitamin deficiencies as indicators of visual load.
