        <p>The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of using intelligent computer systems using the analysis of knowledge bases on large arrays of sociological information. The state of social well-being of refugees and forcibly displaced persons during the military aggression against Ukraine in 2022 (N 1170) was studied using factor analysis, the method of classifications, methods of multidimensional scaling and two-dimensional distribution of data. The possibilities of computer processing of sociological information have been determined, which contributes to the emergence of approaches to obtaining new scientific knowledge, among which intelligent data analysis (IAD), based on the use of computer analysis methods and artificial intelligence in the search for latent knowledge hidden in arrays of source information.</p>

      <p>The actualization of the use of intelligent data analysis methods (especially data mining) in

        Gartner company experts identify 35 trends, among which 16 (47%) determine the focus of
computing technologies on meeting social challenges. This indicates that the direction of computer
engineering research approaches the resolution of social problems related to the management of states,
social groups, and every person in order to eliminate social conflicts [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2 ref3">2, 3</xref>
        ]. There are numerous
publications in the field of cyber-social computing. However, among them there are few works aimed
at managing social processes [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4 ref5 ref6">4–6</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        Among Ukrainian sociologists, research into the digitization of sociological methods of analysis and
the application of intelligent computer systems using a knowledge base for the analysis of sociological
information is not widely presented. It is possible to single out only the systematic studies by O. Kislova
and L. Sokuryanska [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7 ref8">7, 8</xref>
        ]. Ukrainian sociologist O. Kislova points out that the amount of information
containing big data is increasing explosively due to the spread of digitization and datafication processes.
Digitization and dataification are two interrelated parts of the same process – the transfer of the entire
heritage of humanity into a machine-readable format, that is, into Big Data arrays. At the same time,
the possibility of quantitative analysis is a necessary component of the obtained data array [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
        ].
      </p>
      <p>
        The phenomenon of social well-being and the methodology of its research are presented in the works
of Keyes C.L.M., Ryff C.D., Helliwell J.F. and others [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10 ref11 ref12 ref9">9–12</xref>
        ]. Various methods of measuring different
criteria of social well-being have been developed. In Ukrainian sociology, the most famous is the
Integral Index of Social Feeling (IISS) created by E. I. Holovakha and N. V. Panina [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>
        ]. A sociological
analysis of the social well-being of refugees and forcibly displaced persons in Ukraine is presented in
the work of N. V. Kovalisco and S. M. Bubnyak [14].

      <title>Methods/Methods and Materials</title>
      <p>Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) is designed to discover useful knowledge from data
using special technologies, methodologies and methods, which include, in particular, automatic
intelligent extraction of non-obvious knowledge from large volumes of information in a minimal
amount of time. Computer Science, Systems Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, mathematics, cognitive
psychology and other scientific disciplines related to the subject are considered in [15].</p>
      <p>Under the influence of the growing number of social network applications, a new paradigm of
computing has emerged – social computing, which is understood as "a new type of immaterial
production (production of knowledge), which includes a new environment of production, a new subject
of production and a new method of production of knowledge" [15]. Social computing involves the study
of social behavior using modern computer systems. It integrates a variety of methods for learning the
"wisdom of the crowd", combining the study of social networks with methods of predicting social
behavior, cultural dynamics, etc.</p>
      <p>Data mining is defined as the process of identifying in raw data previously unknown, important,
practical and well-understood explanations of knowledge necessary for decision-making in various
areas of human activity.</p>
      <p>By using special software to find patterns in large batches of data, users can develop marketing
strategies, manage credit risk, detect fraud, filter spam, and even detect user sentiment. The market of
data analysis systems is growing. This is facilitated by the activities of large corporations: SAS, IBM,
Microsoft, Oracle, etc.</p>
      <p>Data mining relies on the efficient collection, storage and computer processing of data.</p>
      <p>In IAD technology, there are usually four different types of knowledge that can be extracted from
data: superficial, multidimensional, latent, and deep knowledge. In the context of the third group,
attention is focused on obtaining a model for assessing the influence of various (both external and
internal) factors on the analyzed social phenomenon or process. Currently, the demands of science and
practice require the solution of other tasks, namely, the rapid analysis of large volumes of disparate
information received in real-time mode (flow analysis of information), the ability to quickly make
correct specific management decisions based on the results of sociological research is required from a
substantive specialist, in particular, under conditions of uncertainty, shortage of hours, etc., to carry out
accurate forecasting, etc.</p>
      <p>As stated in [16], for the study of large databases, data mining has a dialogue with social scientific
theories It allows constructing a predictive model to forecast new "facts" and draw conclusions. Simple
data collection is only the beginning of the entire cycle of research. Short-term practical predictions can
be drawn from it, but this is not sufficient for theory development. However, one should be able to draw
from a theoretical conclusion.

      <title>Experiment</title>
      <p>The study has been conducted by scientists of the National Technical University "Kharkiv
Polytechnic Institute" in June-July 2022 with the help of an Internet survey (N=1170 people) reflecting
the peculiarities of the social well-being of Ukrainians during the first six months since the beginning
of the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country and military operations against Ukraine [17].
Residents of Ukraine who lived in all regions of Ukraine before the start of military aggression on
February 24, 2022, took part in the survey.</p>
      <p>Attention is drawn to the definition of social well-being, which emphasizes that "it is a subjective
assessment by people of the level of satisfaction of their own needs and interests by society or its
individual institutions. Such self-esteem acts as a spiritual stimulus and the guiding force of social
activity of individual individuals and social groups" [18]. Most researchers try to identify the
components of social well-being based on human needs and the possibilities of their realization in
society. Thus, eight components of social well-being are most often distinguished, they include: work,
material situation, age, family, personal desires, social status, state, education.</p>
      <p>In empirical studies of social well-being, various methodological approaches are used, which, in
fact, determine the structure of questionnaire surveys. The most complete structure of the questionnaire
includes questions characterizing social attitudes related to various types of personal well-being. The
following types of personal well-being can be distinguished:
 social well-being, as the individual's satisfaction with his social status and life conditions, and
even satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and status in the microsocial environment;
 material well-being, as satisfaction with the material side of one's existence, the completeness
of one's security, the stability of material wealth;
 spiritual well-being, as a feeling of belonging to the spiritual culture of the society, awareness
of the possibility of involvement in the riches of spiritual culture; awareness and experience of the
meaning of one's life;
 psychological well-being, as a feeling of inner balance, integrity, satisfaction with one's
creativity;
 physical well-being, that is, the joy of the need for health, good physical well-being, bodily
comfort.</p>

      <title>The results</title>
      <p>The results of the study have shown that the majority of respondents assessed their own state at the
beginning of the war as nervous, tense, 53% noted that they had a feeling of the unreality of what was
happening.</p>
      <p>We can state that women showed more composure and determination. For example, 29% of men
and 17% of women stated that they were in a state of stupor; 39% of men and 14% of women felt fear
and oppression; a state close to panic 19% of men and only 4% of women.</p>
      <p>The theoretical basis of our research is gender studies, which have become very relevant recently in
Ukrainian society and science. Gender roles are socio-cultural constructs that are determined by social
expectations regarding behavior, actions, and characteristics associated with gender. Throughout most
of history, gender roles have undergone changes and reincarnations, both in the narrow cultural field of
a specific society and in a global world sense. The very concept of "gender" is relatively new, as it
appeared only in the middle of the 20th century. Sociologists who studied society and, in particular, the
problems of men and women, say that only one definition of "gender" does not suffice, so the American
psychoanalysts have introduced the new term "gender", which denoted the "social gender of a person",
the norms and rules for men and women were now considered from positions of social constructions,
not traditionally biological ones. Over time, this approach grew not only into permanent "gender roles"
determined biologically or culturally, but also into the individual's own self-identification. This has also
led to the study of gender roles not only in today's issues, but also from a historical perspective, in order
to find the reasons why they are changing in the first place.</p>
      <p>Well-known social gender stereotypes of a "guardian" woman, i.e., one who guards the home fire
and a man protector. These stereotypes arose historically, because traditionally a woman was first of all
considered a housewife, she looked after the household, comfort, children while the man worked,
providing for the family. Now, these social gender stereotypes are not only criticized by some scientists,
but also transformed under the influence of today's realities.</p>
      <p>The fact that women perceived the reality of war much more than men was indicative. And vice
versa, many men were not concerned about the threat of hostilities. Data on the distribution of answers
to this question (Did you personally expect or predict the start of hostilities on the part of Russia?) are
provided in Table 1.</p>
      <p>This is also confirmed by concrete actions to prepare for war. 41% of women and 56% of men did
not take any action, even if they had some concern about the possibility of military actions. The most
popular actions on the eve of the war, demonstrating preparation, were: packed an "anxiety suitcase",
compiled documents, etc. – 46% of women and 34% of men; made some supplies of water, food – 31%
and 25%, respectively; prepared the car, stocked up on fuel – 24% and 11%; took care of the stock of
medicines – 23% and 22%. Traditionally, women are more focused on maintaining family well-being,
acting as the protectors of the family, taking care of the safety and future of the family. In addition,
modern women in Ukraine are more pragmatic and try to take responsibility for themselves and their
families, even in the matters that were previously considered purely man’s ones – almost twice as many
women prepared cars and stocked up on fuel than men.</p>
      <p>At the time of the survey, June-July 2022, respondents rated their own psychological state, on a scale
from "0" to "10", (where "0" means the maximum level of calmness, confidence that everything will be
fine, and 10 – the maximum level panic, fear, uncertainty). During the survey, the following result was
obtained: a total score of 5.95 (see Table 2). In other words, the feeling of anxiety and insecurity still
prevailed.</p>
      <p>The highest values are observed in the interval from 5 to 8, which indicates a rather anxious and
tense state of the people we interviewed, especially since this question was answered by all respondents,
both forced migrants and those who did not leave their homes despite the danger and even hostilities
around populated areas.</p>
      <p>Residents of the central regions of Ukraine in the summer of 2022 rate their own emotional state as
calm, almost confident (rating – 3.12). Also, it should be noted that the respondents' assessment of their
emotional state worsened at the time of the survey compared to the beginning of the war. In Table 3 a
comparison of the average values of the mood assessment at the time of the start of the war and at the
time of the survey is presented.</p>

        <p>An important indicator of social well-being is the degree of a person's involvement in social
processes, a subjective assessment of one's position in society, and its dynamics. In this case, it is not
about formal social status, but rather about the perception of one's current position in society, which is
not necessarily measured by some external indicators. It is not a matter of possessing some social
resources, high material well-being, access to power or a prestigious social position. A more important
category is involvement in social processes, the feeling of being a part of the community, as well as the
extent to which this feeling shapes a person's social optimism or pessimism.</p>
        <p>Social well-being, as it was mentioned earlier, is determined by many factors, not the least of which
is the feeling of family, Motherland, hometown, where there is a home, that is, the location where a
person feels at home. That is why measurements of social well-being were carried out through a person's
decision to evacuate. It is clear that each case is unique, and behind each of them we can see the pain
of making a difficult decision and a heavy burden of responsibility. After all, fear, uncertainty about
the future, anxiety for children and deceased family members, hostilities that can start anywhere at any
moment, all this multiplied by collective panic caused people to want to leave a dangerous place (or
even a safe one) as soon as possible at that time. It is clear that the most important reason was fear for
the lives of children (grandchildren) or one's own life – 61% of forcibly displaced persons gave this
answer. 52% left because of constant shelling of the settlement where they were located. Another 37%
were afraid of the occupation of their settlement and did not want to live under occupation.</p>
        <p>Today, we can observe a change in the distribution of certain social roles in public life. First of all,
this applies to social roles related to the provision of vital human needs during wartime. Especially
women with children and women who left with relatives, who need constant outside care and are not
capable of self-care, or who themselves have disabilities or serious illnesses. Such women need to solve
many problems outside their home, look for a source of income, and then combine work and care for
dependents. Women need to simultaneously solve the housing problem, establish a household, find an
educational institution for their children, start life anew and overcome personal inner experiences. In
addition, during the war, the vulnerability of women and girls to gender-based violence increases
tremendously, which also actualizes the issue of conducting a gender analysis of social practices of
Ukrainians regarding the satisfaction of basic needs. It should be taken into account that Ukrainians
have to integrate into a new social environment and search for social practices under the influence of
stereotypes prevailing in society. However, deep-seated gender stereotypes, prevailing societal ideas
about men and women, which people encounter most often in their personal, social, and professional
lives, are very often on the way to social integration [19].</p>
        <p>Unfortunately, in modern society, the problem of stereotyped, mostly negative, image of displaced
persons and migrants is also widespread. Often, the displaced people themselves complain that they are
always portrayed as beggars with an outstretched hand, who lack any motivation to improve their lives
on their own, that they are always waiting for someone to do things for them and solve all their
problems. As a result of prevailing stereotypes about immigrants in general, and stereotypes about
women and men in the new social environment, they are exposed to a double influence – both as
immigrants and as men or women.</p>
        <p>Gender analysis, on the theoretical basis of which our research is based, recognizes that the social
practices of meeting the basic needs of women or men can change in time and space, they can be
affected by the processes of accelerated social changes, including armed conflicts and wars. Conflicts
and displacement disrupt the normal lives of people of both sexes, causing trauma, loss, impoverishment
and marginalization, but they also create conditions for self-initiative in choosing appropriate social
practices or creating new ones, through the breakdown of social, economic and political structures. In
order to study the social practices of individuals and groups, it is necessary to carry out a conditional
distribution of social practices according to a defined criterion, that is, to carry out a classification. In
our research, it is appropriate to choose criteria that indicate how each respondent is included at the
moment and in this context in a new social environment in the conditions of war.</p>
        <p>First. Ukrainians who have chosen the active nature of social practices participate in our research –
all of them made a difficult decision to leave their own homes and were active in moving to a safer
place due to the start of active hostilities.</p>
        <p>Second. Every citizen has the need and right to a sufficient standard of living for himself and his
family. In the situation in which the respondents of our study found themselves, they need to solve the
issue of finding the income provided by the law as a source of livelihood. They can choose one of the
possible ways of obtaining legal sources of livelihood: salary, profit from entrepreneurial activity or
receive a pension, scholarship, alimony, other social benefits, rely on their own financial savings or
financial assistance from family members. According to the selected criteria, the social practices of
forced migrants can be divided into the following groups:
 "Group 1": innovative activity – social practices of forced migrants who left their place of
permanent residence due to the start of active hostilities and chose a way to obtain legal sources of
livelihood by opening their own business.
 "Group 2": non-productive activity – social practices of forced migrants who left their place of
permanent residence due to the start of active hostilities and chose the method of obtaining legal
sources of livelihood through employment under a labor contract (contract).
 "Group 3": paternalistic activism – social practices of forced migrants who left their place of
permanent residence due to the start of active hostilities and whose legal source of livelihood is state
social assistance, their own savings or other financial support [19].</p>
        <p>Analysis of the research results made it possible to determine the number of respondents in each
group.</p>
        <p> "Group 1": innovative activity – 7%
 "Group 2": unproductive activity – 65%
 "Group 3": paternalistic asset – 28%</p>
        <p>The results show that the absolute majority of women chose social practices of group 1 (innovative
activity) and group 2 (unproductive activity) – 72%. They have a way of obtaining legal sources for the
existence of opening their own business and employment under an employment contract (contract).</p>
        <p>Social connections are known to bring many benefits to both social, psychological and physical
health. Some foreign researchers even compare their positive effects to a healthy lifestyle and admit
that their benefits exceed those of other known public health factors, such as physical exercise, avoiding
obesity and quitting smoking. Conversely, negative social relations are not only a source of serious
social problems, but also reflect on a person's social well-being. Thus, social relations act as a key factor
of social well-being. "The secret to 'happiness' – such as it is – may lie in high-quality social
relationships. Humans are fundamentally social animals, living together, having romantic relationships,
family groups, neighborhoods and communities. Our relationships can be a source of support, a source
of identity, and a source of fun, etc.” [21].</p>
        <p>Researchers Diener and Seligman [20] determined the qualities that distinguish the happiest and the
least happy people. They found that these two groups differed not in gender or socioeconomic status,
but in the presence of relatives and friends. Similarly, in a study of social support in Iran, Jordan, and
the United States, Brennan and colleagues (2013) found that social support from friends and family
members was associated with satisfaction and positive mood, and overall, there is ample evidence in
the scientific community that that humans have an innate and deeply rooted need to form strong social
bonds with others, and the lack of such bonds has detrimental consequences for health and well-being.</p>
        <p>Disruption of social and family ties leads to deterioration of social well-being, especially if it is
accompanied by a forced change of place of residence. In table 3 data on the general assessment of the
emotional state of the respondents at the time of the survey are given. This emotional state was definitely
formed under the influence of many factors, but it is an undeniable fact that the rupture of social and
family ties has a predominant influence on its definition. In response to the question "Was your family
separated during the evacuation?" the following results were obtained (see Тable 4)</p>

        <p>The social well-being of refugees and forcibly displaced persons is determined by their emotional
state, which is influenced by the presence of loved ones and family. The average value of the emotional
state was determined by us in the form of a correlation with the above question by estimating the average
value. Table 5 shows data on the assessment of the emotional state of forcibly displaced persons, which,
in our opinion, was directly affected by the circumstances of evacuation and separation of families.</p>

        <p>Social well-being, as it was mentioned earlier, is determined by many factors, not the least of which
is the feeling of family, Motherland, hometown, where there is a home, that is, the location where a
person feels at home. That is why we measured social well-being through a person making a difficult
decision to evacuate. It is clear that each case is unique, and behind each of them is the pain of making
a difficult decision and a heavy burden of responsibility. After all, fear, uncertainty about the future,
anxiety for children and deceased family members, hostilities that can start anywhere at any moment,
all this multiplied by collective panic caused people to want to leave a dangerous place (or even a safe
one) as soon as possible at that time). It is clear that the most important reason was fear for the lives of
children (grandchildren) or one's own life – 61% of forcibly displaced persons gave this answer. 52%
left because of constant shelling of the settlement where they were located. Another 37% were afraid
of the occupation of their settlement and did not want to live under occupation. We see the distribution
of answers to this question in Table 6.</p>

      <title>Discussion</title>
      <p>The purpose of the next step in the analysis of the social feelings of refugees and IDPs of Ukraine
after the first half of the war was to determine the degree of readiness of Ukrainians at the time of the
war, not so much for the war itself, but for active social practices to protect themselves, their families,
and the state as a whole. To do this, firstly, a reversed solution (Varimax rotation) was found with the
help of factor analysis using the method of principal components regarding the classification of
respondents according to their emotional state on the eve of the war (Table 3).
Matrix of inverse componentsa,</p>
      <p>As we can see, the respondents were divided into five subgroups according to their own answers
regarding the emotional state, which makes it possible to reduce the dimension of the characteristics,
and on the other hand, to formulate new hypotheses (knowledge) regarding the units of analysis. So,
the 1st group (collected, determined, ready for the necessary actions, internal mobilization and the need
to act appeared) are the respondents who were ready to act, they were morally ready for an attack. It
was these representatives of refugees and IDPs who were ready to leave, save their families, pets, they
knew where to go, and upon arrival in a new community organized volunteer activities and actively
began the process of adaptation to new conditions. Its number is approximately 15% of the total number
of respondents. Group II (normal state, more or less normal psychophysiological state, calm, but there
was a feeling of unreality of what is happening) are respondents who endured the first days and weeks
of the war. They were in no hurry to evacuate, but under the pressure of circumstances and with the
development of events at the front, they made a balanced decision. Its number is 31%. Group III
(nervous, tense state, state of fear and depression, loss of sleep, loss of appetite) – these are the
respondents who received certain emotional injuries and needed help, time and effort to make decisions
about their future life. Its number is 34%. Representatives of further groups IV (a state close to panic,
stupor, lack of clear thinking) and V (a state of irritability and aggressiveness, I have an exacerbation
of chronic diseases) are respondents who needed serious support and help; the process of their
adaptation was difficult and lengthy. Their number is 11% and 8%, respectively. And the VI group of
respondents, these are those who, in the first days and days of the war, were injured by an explosion or
shelling (wound, contusion) – 1%. Thus, thanks to the factor analysis, we can see that in general, almost
less than half of Ukrainians (representatives of the I and II groups) met the beginning of the war in an
active position. And the second part were confused, among whom almost 20% needed outside help.</p>
      <p>Turning to the analysis of multidimensional distributions, namely to Prefscal multidimensional
scaling methods, a visualization of the sample of respondents was carried out taking into account the
degree of closeness according to the Minkovsky scale, according to indicators of gender, emotional
state at the beginning of the war, and assessment of one's own state during the research (Fig. 1).</p>
      <p>According to the obtained data, we can conclude that according to these indicators, Ukrainians can
be divided into certain groups, where the axes correspond to the following characteristics: ОХ –
readiness to adapt in difficult conditions, and ОУ – "migrated – did not migrate".</p>
      <p>Thus, the sample of respondents can be classified into four groups. Group I (lilac color) –
middleaged Ukrainians who live and work in Ukraine, pay taxes to the state budget, help the Armed Forces,
have a certain financial "safety cushion". This cohort also includes young people studying at Ukrainian
higher education institutions, who associate their future with the reconstruction of their native state.
Representatives of this group, both women and men, have a certain social capital that helped them adapt
to difficult conditions and provide for their own lives and the lives of their families. The structure of
social capital includes the presence of a special secondary or higher education, knowledge of foreign
languages, skilled work, the presence of one's own undamaged real estate and a car. Most of them did
not migrate, and if they moved from their place of living, then it happens within the country.</p>
      <p>Group II (green color) – Ukrainians with passive expectation. This group includes both refugees and
IDPs who are waiting to return home. This group consists mainly of women with children, whose
husbands remained in Ukraine, and who have no or almost no experience of staying abroad and do not
speak foreign languages. People with this type of behavior seek to return to Ukraine under any
circumstances and preferably as soon as possible, but their relatives in Ukraine insist that they remain
abroad for the time being. Their whole lives (friends, work, housing, hobbies) are in Ukraine and they
have no motivation to integrate into foreign society. Some of them admit that they will have to work
and express their willingness to perform skilled work close to their profession or work that do not
require special qualifications.</p>
      <p>The third group (red color) is Ukrainians who were forced to leave their hometown, but due to a
number of circumstances could not leave abroad. As a rule, these are entire families in which men are
of military age, older family members have elderly parents to support them, and the family includes
sons over 18 years old. All family members received IDP status and financial support from the state,
and regularly receive humanitarian aid. They live in the Western and partly in the Central regions with
relatives or friends, rent social housing free of charge or pay utilities. They also believe in the soon
victory of Ukraine and hope to return to their homes. They are looking for new jobs occasionally,
because they either have remote employment or have a pension state security.</p>
      <p>Group IV (blue color) – are Ukrainians who associate their immediate future with living in Ukraine.
At the beginning of the war, they could temporarily leave their places of permanent residence, but by
the winter of 2022 they had already returned home, or did not leave their native homes at all. Such
Ukrainians believe in the imminent victory of Ukraine and are ready to wait for it regardless of power
outages, periodic bombings and threats to their own security. This cohort includes citizens who
confidently and unequivocally identify themselves as Ukrainians, who systematically speak Ukrainian
after the start of military aggression. But they consider themselves poor enough to carry out active
social practices that are not traditional for them. If they do not believe in the return of pre-war life, then
they try to do everything to preserve as much of that life as possible. Territorially, this type includes
residents of the Western and Central regions and some of the Northern and Southern regions. By age,
they are middle-aged and older people, by gender, men and women.

      <title>Conclusions</title>
      <p>Social computing is a link in the evolution of methods for analyzing the results of quantitative
sociological research. It opens up new horizons for the detection of latent patterns hidden in arrays of
sociological information.</p>
      <p>Currently, the following methods are actively used in social sciences for social computing:
 Big Data;
 intellectual data analysis Data Mining;
 digital humanities Digital Humanity;
 data science Data Science.</p>
      <p>The actualization of the use of intelligent data analysis methods (especially data mining) in
secondary research is due to the need to identify deeply hidden trends, for which various "complex"
data analysis methods are usually used.</p>
      <p>Intellectual analysis usually refers to the field of artificial intelligence and involves several features
of the use of this technology by sociologists:</p>
      <p>1. the sociologist is not aimed at defining the typology of respondents, but at fixing patterns in a
large mass of data that describe previously unknown structures of connections, etc.;
2. when identifying regularities in large volumes of data, sociologists process, combine and
transform them in such a way as to test hypotheses of interest to the researcher about connections and
regularities;</p>
      <p>3. data mining has a wide set of big data visualization tools, which allows sociologists to work with
them without additional mathematical training.</p>
      <p>Thus, the analysis of the social practices of Ukrainian immigrants in 2022 (gender aspect), regarding
the satisfaction of basic needs, showed the destruction of the usual ideas about the possible options for
implementing the strategy of the behavior of immigrants during the war. Ukrainian women forced to
relocate choose active social practices of an innovative nature, they take responsibility for their fate and
the fate of their children and act as active subjects of social life in new conditions.</p>
      <p>The methods of factor analysis were used to classify the sample of respondents according to their
emotional state at the beginning of the war and to determine that less than half of Ukrainians
emotionally "endured" and were ready for active social practices. On the other hand, using the methods
of multivariate analysis, using the Minkowski metric regarding the closeness of the respondents in the
group. The sample of respondents was characterized not only by the criterion of having migrated – not
migrated (refugees, IDPs and those who did not leave), but also by the criterion of social well-being
and readiness for active social practices.</p>
