Ukrainian Portrait Painting of the 18th–Early 19th Centuries in the Collection of the Dnipro Art Museum
Authors: Nesen Iryna 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyse the collection of Cossack portrait painting of the 18th-early 19th centuries from the collection of the Dnipro Art Museum, with further classification of genre types and the role of specified works in the development of Ukrainian portraiture. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific and special methods of cognition. The leading tools of the research toolkit are analytical, historical-chronological, and systematic, which make it possible to thoroughly consider the material in art history and historical contexts, to obtain results for further searches in order to clarify attribution. The scientific novelty of the research lies in comprehensive study of artworks of particular collection of Cossack portraits of the 18th-early 19th centuries from Dnipro Art Museum collection, in which, next to famous historical figures (I. Samoylovych, I. Mazepa, I. Skoropadsky), we see little-known images (the scribe I. Nevinchany, the bishop Joseph). Their artistic and historical significance in the development of national portrait painting is determined. Conclusions. The eight portraits from Dnipro Art Museum collection considered in the article gave the author opportunity to research a number of portraits of Cossack figures of the 18th century, to trace important facts of creation of artworks group from first formation period of museum collection by efforts of Dmytro Yavornytskyi. The character analysis of the portraits proved the presence of main genre varieties in the collection – ktitori, epitaph, secular ceremonial and chamber types. Particularly important for research is the portrait of Hetman I. Mazepa, which shows an easel variation of the founder portrait. Most of the considered artworks represent the baroque in their stylistics, instead "Portrait of Pavlo Rudenko" by the brush of Volodymyr Borovikovskyi shows characteristics of a classical portrait. The artworks considered in the article specify the stylistics of national types.
Comprehending "Strict Style" in the Process of Forming Ukrainian Unofficial Art
Authors: Soliarska-Komarchuk Iryna 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the study is to reconsider the “strict style” beyond the narrative of the “Soviet art” and to identify those characteristics that allowed individual artists from Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, and Armenia to return to the national artistic tradition and find their own creative language that did not coincide with the values of the totalitarian system. The research methods are based on the fundamental principles of art historical analysis with the involvement of interdisciplinary connections (philosophy, history) to identify the innovative features of the “strict style” as the first important step for the emergence of the art of the “dissenters”. The comparative method is used to identify the differences in regional manifestations of the “strict style” based on the national artistic traditions of Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, and Armenia. The systematic-analytical method is used to highlight the influence of the Khrushchev Thaw on the formation of new worldview values among the creative youth of the post-war period of the 1946s-1955s. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the plot, plastic, and compositional characteristics of the “strict style” that became the reason for some national artists to search for national artistic traditions and interpret them using their own experience and artistic and figurative language. Conclusions. When comprehending the significance of the “strict style”, one should note its importance for the beginnings of the revival of Ukraine's artistic traditions, which soon led to the emergence of “unofficial” art. While its founders, Russian artists, sought to convey the feat of labour of the Soviet man, our individual artists were able to demonstrate the difficult fates and tragedies of their own people (I.-V. Zadorozhnyi), moreover, using the techniques and imagery of avant-garde artists in their artistic language. The national artistic experience of the 1920s and early 1930s prompted them to revive and rethink their own heritage. The subjects, techniques of transmission, and compositional features were similar among the representatives of the “strict style”, but the peculiar artistic thinking based on the worldview of their people made some national artists, as well as their colleagues from Estonia, Latvia, and Armenia, interpret the reality of their countrymen differently.

Authors: Kapshukova Olena 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of the article is implementation into scientific use the proposed time limits and names of creative path`s periods of artist Mykola Hlushchenko (1901–1977). Based on analysis of well-known facts of his life and creativity, studies of artist`s artistic heritage from 1940s–1970s artworks collection of Dnipro Art Museum. The research methodology is based on the methods of art-stylistic and comparative analysis of Mykola Hlushchenko's paintings, considered in art-historical and cultural-historical aspects. The scientific novelty of research consists in scientific 1940s–1970s creativity periods determination of M. Hlushchenko based on research of Dnipro Art Museum collection and additional attribution of individual painting artworks according to the proposed stages. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of Mykola Hlushchenko's paintings from Dnipro Art Museum collection and study in accounting fund documentation of the institution, considering biographical and autobiographical information, socio-political and historical-cultural context, we proposed a refined periodisation of the artist's work. Division of creative stages of M. Hlushchenko for more detailed periods will allow a more thorough and deeper analysis of the well-known today artist's creative heritage. Using the example of Dnipro Art Museum collection, we concluded that a certain number of works in the museum collections of Ukraine require additional attribution. In addition, the creative heritage of outstanding Ukrainian artist Mykola Hlushchenko remains insufficiently studied and requires comprehensive research.
Mozart's Requiem and its performance by K. Pigrov
Authors: Shpak Halyna 
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to trace in K. Pigrov's performance interpretation of two pieces from W. Mozart's Requiem the signs of the performer’s worldview, which enriched the listening experience by correlating the Church-Orthodox worldview with the deistic-Catholic image of the world formed by the text of Mozart's immortal work. The methodological basis is the intonational approach of B. Asafiev’s school in Ukraine, comparative and hermeneutic prolongations of intonation in the works of D. Androsova, T. Verkina, O. Kozarenko, I. Kotliarevskyi, I. Liashenko, Liu Binjsan, O. Markova, O. Muravska, O. Sokolova, H. Shpak, among others, with the use of scientific research methods: art historical and analytical, descriptive-historical, cultural-regionalist, religious studies, and others. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology the analysis of the famous work of W. Mozart, using the example of No. 6 and 7 from Mozart’s Requiem, is carried out in view of the interpretation of these fragments by different performers, highlighting the sample of their performance by K. Pigrov, based on the foundations of the Odesa choral school as a church-Orthodox school by genesis, not alien to theatrical and secular sections of interpretation. In addition, for the first time, the specifics of the means by which the effect of Pigrov's interpretation is achieved by timbral-tempo and other sound indicators are highlighted. Conclusions. The multi-stage work of W. Mozart, and after his retirement those who deciphered and completed the text of Requiem, seems to have left an impression on the history of performance, including in the 20th and 21st centuries, which give very different versions of the sound, considering the church origin and at the same time the secularisation of the Latin Requiem In the performance under the baton of K. Pigrov, there was a version that allowed a somewhat "compressed" presentation of the whole for Nos. 6-7, where the images expressed in Nos. 1-7 (the formidable Power of God) and Nos. 8-12 (the height of God’s Mercy) were "collapsed". In the performance of the choir under the direction of K. Pigrov, the tempos are significantly slowed down (especially in No. 7), giving a visual fluidity to the changes in those musical Faces of God, relying on the tempo-articulation "displacement" of the themes and the amplification of sounds by low basses and "scaling" by slowing down the tempo at № 7. This is how an independent poem-type work was born from the named sections of W. Mozart's Requiem.

Published: April 2024

The research aims to highlight the legislative and ethical purposes that have been overlooked in the verses related to food. Scholars have focused their attention on discussing the rulings and etiquettes related to food, neglecting the extraction of legislative and ethical purposes embedded in these verses. This has had a significant negative impact on the interaction of Muslims with the verses concerning food in their religious and economic aspects. It has also facilitated the European Union in issuing its first approval from the health authority for the consumption of insects as an alternative food to halal food. This situation has led to this research being conducted to derive legislative and ethical purposes from the verses about food. The study aims to help Muslims and Westerners have a deeper understanding of the objectives and purposes behind these legislations, emphasizing the balance between legislative and ethical purposes in accordance with the principles and rules of Islamic law. The research employed an analytical approach to derive the purposes from a jurisprudential perspective. Several results were identified, the most significant of which is that highlighting the legislative and ethical purposes in the verses about food demonstrates the merit of preserving human life, unlike secular laws. The elements of generality, necessity, abandonment, coercion, and specificity in the verses about food are form some of the most important precepts. Ethical purposes complement legislative purposes in the verses about food, as to separate the rulings from ethics is to divest from the all-embracing context of the provisions of the Sharia. Ethical purposes take precedence over legislative purposes in terms of action and attention, as they represent a general purpose in Islamic law.

Repair of large bone defects remains challenge for orthopedic clinical treatment. Porous titanium alloys have been widely fabricated by the additive manufacturing, which possess the elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone, good osteoconductivity and osteointegration. However, insufficient bone regeneration and vascularization inside the porous titanium scaffolds severely limit their capability for repair of large-size bone defects. Therefore, it is crucially important to improve the osteogenic function and vascularization of the titanium scaffolds. Herein, methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) were incorporated with the porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448) scaffolds prepared by the electron beam melting (EBM) method (Ti2448-GelMA). Besides, the deferoxamine (DFO) as an angiogenic agent was doped into the Ti2448-GelMA scaffold (Ti2448-GelMA/DFO), in order to promote vascularization. The results indicate that GelMA can fully infiltrate into the pores of Ti2448 scaffolds with porous cross-linked network (average pore size: 120.2 ± 25.1 μm). Ti2448-GelMA scaffolds facilitated the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells by promoting the ALP expression and mineralization, with the amount of calcium contents ∼2.5 times at day 14, compared with the Ti2448 scaffolds. Impressively, the number of vascular meshes for the Ti2448-GelMA/DFO group (∼7.2/mm2) was significantly higher than the control group (∼5.3/mm2) after cultivation for 9 h, demonstrating the excellent angiogenesis ability. The Ti2448-GelMA/DFO scaffolds also exhibited sustained release of DFO, with a cumulative release of 82.3% after 28 days. Therefore, Ti2448-GelMA/DFO scaffolds likely provide a new strategy to improve the osteogenesis and angiogenesis for repair of large bone defects.

BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that serum copper levels are related to coronary heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, the association of serum copper levels with all-cause, cause-specific [including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer] mortality remains unclear.ObjectivesThis study aimed to prospectively examine the association of copper exposure with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality among US adults.MethodsThe data for this analysis was obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2011 and 2014. Mortality from all-causes, CVD, and cancer mortality was linked to US National Death Index mortality data. Cox regression models were used to estimate the association between serum copper levels and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality.ResultsA total of 2,863 adults were included in the main study. During the mean follow-up time of 81.2 months, 236 deaths were documented, including 68 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 57 deaths from cancer. The weighted mean overall serum copper levels was 117.2 ug/L. After adjusting for all of the covariates, compared with participants with low (1st tertile, &lt;103 μg/L)/medium (2st tertile, 103–124 μg/L) serum copper levels, participants with high serum copper levels (3rd tertile, ≥124 μg/L) had a 1.75-fold (95% CI, 1.05–2.92)/1.78-fold (1.19,2.69) increase in all-cause mortality, a 2.35-fold (95% CI, 1.04–5.31)/3.84-fold (2.09,7.05) increase in CVD mortality and a 0.97-fold (95% CI, 0.28–3.29)/0.86-fold (0.34,2.13) increase in cancer mortality. In addition, there was a linear dose-response association between serum copper concentration with all-cause and CVD mortality (P for nonlinear &gt; 0.05).ConclusionsThis prospective study found that serum copper concentrations were linearly associated with all-cause and CVD mortality in US adults. High serum copper levels is a risk factor for all-cause and CVD mortality.

ObjectivesIn recent years, there has been increasing attention on the cluster approach to symptom management. Two significant challenges in the symptom cluster (SC) approach are identifying and predicting these clusters. This multiphase protocol aims to identify SCs in patients with advanced cancer as the primary objective, with the secondary objective of developing machine learning algorithms to predict SCs identified in the first phase.MethodsThe 2-MIXIP study consists of two main phases. The first phase involves identifying SCs, and the second phase focuses on developing predictive algorithms for the identified SCs. The identification of SCs involves a parallel mixed-method design (quantitative and qualitative). Quantitative and qualitative methods are conducted simultaneously and given equal importance. The data are collected and analyzed independently before being integrated. The quantitative part is conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. The qualitative analysis is conducted using a content analysis approach. Then, the identified SCs from both parts are integrated to determine the final clusters and use them in the second phase. In the second phase, we employ a tree-based machine learning method to create predictive algorithms for SCs using key demographic and clinical patient characteristics.ConclusionThe findings of the 2-MIXIP study can help manage cancer patients' symptoms more effectively and enhance clinical decision-making by using SCs prediction. Furthermore, the results of this study can provide guidance for clinical trials aimed at managing symptoms.

ObjectiveTo utilize radiomics analysis on dual-energy CT images of the pancreas to establish a quantitative imaging biomarker for type 2 diabetes mellitus.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, 78 participants (45 with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 33 without) underwent a dual energy CT exam. Pancreas regions were segmented automatically using a deep learning algorithm. From these regions, radiomics features were extracted. Additionally, 24 clinical features were collected for each patient. Both radiomics and clinical features were then selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) technique and then build classifies with random forest (RF), support vector machines (SVM) and Logistic. Three models were built: one using radiomics features, one using clinical features, and a combined model.ResultsSeven radiomic features were selected from the segmented pancreas regions, while eight clinical features were chosen from a pool of 24 using the LASSO method. These features were used to build a combined model, and its performance was evaluated using five-fold cross-validation. The best classifier type is Logistic and the reported area under the curve (AUC) values on the test dataset were 0.887 (0.73–1), 0.881 (0.715–1), and 0.922 (0.804–1) for the respective models.ConclusionRadiomics analysis of the pancreas on dual-energy CT images offers potential as a quantitative imaging biomarker in the detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Published: April 2024

ObjectiveTo outline the epidemiology of puerperal mastitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and evaluate the effect of an infection control bundle on its incidence.MethodsA surge in MRSA puerperal mastitis was noted in a community hospital in September 2009. MRSA samples from mastitis cases and the environment underwent typing using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), gene encoding surface protein A (spa), accessory gene regulator (agr), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The phenotypic characteristics, including superantigen toxin profiles, gene encoding Panton-Valentine leucocidin (pvl), and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) against vancomycin, were ascertained. Subsequently, an infection control bundle emphasizing contact precautions was introduced, and mastitis incidence rates pre- and post-intervention were compared.ResultsThe majority of cases occurred within 6 weeks post-delivery in first-time mothers. Of the 42 S. aureus isolates (27 from mastitis and 15 from colonized staff and environmental sources), 25 (92.6%) clinical and 3 (20%) colonized MRSA were identified as ST59-SCCmecVT-spa t437-agr group I with a vancomycin MIC of 1 mg/L, pvl-positive, and predominantly with a consistent toxin profile (seb-selk-selr). PFGE revealed 13 patterns; pulsotype B exhibited clonal relatedness between two clinical and three colonized MRSA samples. Post-intervention, the incidence of both mastitis and MRSA mastitis notably decreased from 13.01 to 1.78 and from 3.70 to 0.99 episodes per 100 deliveries, respectively.ConclusionDistinct community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) clones were detected among puerperal mastitis patients and colonized staff. The outbreak was effectively controlled following the implementation of a targeted infection control bundle.
