The variability of fingerprints is widely used to identify a person in criminology, as adiagnostic-prognostic marker system in medicine and in the study of multi-vectoredethnogenetic processes in population surveys that cover different regions of the state.The purpose of the study is to outline the local structure of the male population ofUkraine by analyzing the indicators of digital dermatoglyphics for information on the vectorof evolution of the local population. Dermatoglyphic study was performed using H.Cummins and Ch. Midlo for 400 practically healthy men from different administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried outin the package STATISTICA 6.1 using nonparametric methods. High heterogeneity wasestablished on the basis of qualitative and quantitative indicators of signs of digitaldermatoglyphics among the following administrative-territorial groups: between theinhabitants of central and southern (22.22% of indicators), central and eastern (20.37% ofindicators) of central and western (15.74%), northern and southern (17.59% of indicators),northern and western (16.67% of indicators), northern and eastern (15.74% of indicators),western and eastern (12.04% of indicators) and southern and eastern (12.04% ofindicators) of the regions of Ukraine. Significant homogeneity was detected in terms ofqualitative and quantitative indicators of signs of digital dermatoglyphics inherent in men,residents of the northern and central regions of Ukraine (differences are recorded at 7(6.48%) indicators, as well as men living in the southern and western regions of thecountry (differences are recorded for 10-9.26% of indicators of only qualitativecharacteristics.) The obtained results allowed to distinguish two dermatological complexeson the territory of Ukraine: local north-central and local south-western. High taxonomicthe value for intra-population differentiation of the local level have: types of patternswith high intensity comb and the capacity of the pattern, especially the III and IV fingersof the right hand and I and II fingers of the left hand

According to modern scientific literature, specific dermatoglyphic signs can be diagnostic markers of a person’s mental state. The purpose of the work is to identify the association of dermatoglyphic indicators with personality characteristics of practically healthy men of Ukraine. From the data bank of the materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya were taken the primary dermatoglyphic and questionnaires indicators of personality characteristics of 92 practically healthy men in the third generation residents of Vinnitsya, Khmelnytsky, part of Ternopil and Zhytomyr regions. Processing of dermatoglyphs was performed according to the method of Cummins H. and Midlo Ch. (1961) in the statement by Gladkova T.D. (1966). For objective evaluation of personality traits of practically healthy men, a number of leading indicators were determined, which included a number of properties of temperament (according to Eysenck), anxiety (according to Spielberger), accentuated personality traits (according to Shmishek), motivational orientation of personality (by Rotter), as well as the peculiarities of psycho-emotional organization of personality, aggressiveness, the level of distribution of asthenic and depressive personality manifestations (by the color test of Luscher), which were determined on the basis of personal use personality questionnaires and test methods. Factor analysis was performed in the “Statistica 6.1” license package. The main factors that indicate the association of personality traits of practically healthy men with some dermatoglyphic indicators are identified: “ridge count of fingers” (dispersion ratio – 13.22%) and “the magnitude of the angle atd” (dispersion ratio – 10.66%). Analysis of the obtained relationships of the interdependence of indicators of personality characteristics with dermatoglyphic indicators showed that with increasing indicators of ridge counts of the fingers and the delta index the degree of probability of growth of indicators of neuroticism according to Eysenck, situational and personal anxiety according to Spielberger, the accentuation of the character of the emotional and arousing types by Shmishek, subjective control in the field of health and illness according to Rotter, black and gray color by Luscher decreases, and the indicators of the accentuation of the character of the anxious and demonstrative types by Shmishek, the overall internality of the level of subjective control in the field of educational (professional) relations according to Rotter, blue and blue-green color by Luscher – is increasing. As the magnitude of the angle atd increases on both hands, the degree of likelihood of growth of neuroticism according to Eysenck, situational and personal anxiety according to Spielberger, accentuation of the character of the emotional, anxious and arousing types by Shmishek, blue color by Luscher increase, and indicators of accentuation of the character of the demonstrative type according to Shmishek, the general internality of the level of subjective control, in the field of educational (professional) relations and in the field of health and illness according to Rotter, blue-green, black and gray color according to Luscher – decrease. The use of factor analysis has allowed to determine the most significant correlation of indicators of personality characteristics with dermatoglyphic indicators.

The category of personality is one of the basic concepts for psychology, but at the same time the most controversial in theoretical and methodological terms. That is why the study of personal characteristics in different populations, ethnicities, ages, professional groups, etc. still does not lose its relevance in the scientific field. Given that certain components of individual personality traits are innate, it is advisable to find connections between them and the characteristics of the human body. The purpose of the work is to determine and analyze the peculiarities of correlations between indicators of body structure and size and personality indicators of practically healthy women with mesomorphic somatotype. Primary anthropo-somatotypological and personality indicators of 33 practically healthy Ukrainian women of the first mature age of mesomorphic somatotype were selected from the data bank of materials of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. The analysis of correlations between anthropo-somatotypological and indicators of personality traits was performed in the licensed package "Statistica 6.1" using the non-parametric Spearman's method. Multiple, mostly reliable, medium-strength straight lines (r = -0.35 to -0.50), Eysenck G. insincerity scales with the majority of girth dimensions, thickness of skin and fat folds, somatotype components, and body weight component composition; multiple, mostly significant medium-strength inverse (r = -0.37 to -0.52) correlations of the exaltation character of the exalted type according to Shmishek G. with the majority of girth dimensions, the majority of pelvic sizes, somatotype components and components of body weight composition; multiple significant mean strength inverse (r = -0.38 to -0.49) correlations of the extraversion-introversion scale according to Eysenck G. with the thickness of the skin and fat folds of the upper limb and under the shoulder blade. In other cases, single, medium-strength, reliable and unreliable direct and inverse correlations of anthropo-somatotypological indicators with the leading typological characteristics of temperament, psychodynamic features of personality and indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits. As a result of quantitative analysis of reliable and unreliable average correlations of anthropo-somatotypological indicators with personality traits of practically healthy women of mesomorphic somatotype, the highest relative percentage of correlations was found between: leading typological characteristics of temperament according to Eysenck G. and somatotype components body weight composition and body girth; psychodynamic personality traits according to Spielberger C. D. and longitudinal body size, thickness of skin and fat folds and components of the somatotype; indicators of severity and features of accentuated personality traits according to Shmishek G. and indicators of the component composition of body weight, somatotype components, body circumference and thickness of skin and fat folds; indicators of the level of subjective control over Rotter J. and the width of the distal epiphyses of the extremities and the transverse dimensions of the body.

Strengthening of global migration processes, often accompanied by an increase in crime and an increase in the number of unidentified individuals, necessitates the expansion of the use of indirect identification methods. In our opinion, involving dermatoglyphic analysis in cases of unidentified persons would help in forensic medical identification of the ethno-territorial membership of an unknown person. The purpose of the work is to identify a taxonomic complex of features of palmar dermatoglyphics at the local level that allow differentiating the regional affiliation of men in Ukraine. The study of dermatoglyphics of 400 virtually healthy men from 5 administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine was conducted using the method of H. Cummins and Ch. Midlo. Statistical processing of the results was carried out in the package “STATISTICA 6.1” using nonparametric methods. The set of signs of palmar dermatoglyphic was revealed, showing a high degree of heterogeneity between men from the following administrative-territorial regions of the country: central and eastern (20.0% of indicators), central and northern (16.9% of indicators), northern and western (16.9% of indicators), western and eastern (15.4% of the indicators) regions of Ukraine. Men from the northern and eastern (6.2% of the indicators), the south and west (6.2% of the indicator) and the southern and eastern (7.7% of the indicators) regions of Ukraine show a significant affinity for the features of palmar dermatoglyphics. In general, the high taxonomic value for intra-population differentiation of the local level have: the localization and saturation of the palm pattern, the size of the palm angles, the presence/absence of additional axial triads, the length of the segment c-t, the Cummins index.
