The purpose of the article is to systematize ceramics in the exteriors of the entrance groups of separate multi-storey buildings of two residential areas on the Left bank of Kyiv (Pіvnіchno-Brovarsky and Voskresensky areas), analyze their plastic, textured and coloristic features. The methodological basis of the study is a comprehensive approach to the analysis of ceramoplastics, using the principle of historicism. The following scientific methods are combined: analytical – to study the state of elaboration of the chosen topic; systematization – for processing archival and literary sources; comparative-typological – for attribution and division of ceramoplastics into groups; artistic and stylistic analysis of works – to determine the characteristics of artistic manners of artists. The iconographic method required a comparative analysis, due to which comparison of individual images on ceramoplastics with works of Ukrainian Folk Arts, as well as ancient Hellenic and Scythian art. Scientific novelty. New samples of architectural decor made in the Kyiv Experimental Workshop of Artistic Ceramics have been introduced into scientific circulation a significant part of which was not mentioned in archival sources. Peculiarities of artistic and stylistic manners of individual authors, borrowing of single iconographic schemes from the art of the Ancient World (N. Fedorova and G. Sharay) are revealed. The idea of the range of themes in the work of V. Orlov on the basis of attribution of the painting of ceramics with phyto- and ornithomorphic motifs on the entrance groups of the house on the street Myropilska, 3 in Kyiv. Conclusions. There are two main directions in the decoration of the entrance groups of residential buildings of typical urban development of the 1970’s – early 1980’s: thematic painted and a variant with prefabricated tiles. The ceramic decor highlights figurative, ornamental and abstract compositions, the artists’ desire for diversity. The specifics of ceramic decoration are considered, special experiments are emphasized by the Kyiv Experimental Workshop of Art Ceramics in order to identify new decorative possibilities of glazed ceramics, to create a richer color palette and texture. The names of artists N. Fedorova, G. Sharay, О. Lobov, V. Orlov have been established, who used motives and color pallets of Ukrainian Folk Arts, as well as individual iconographic schemes and stylistics of the art of Ancient Greece and the Scythians.
Effect of Natural Gas Prices on Renewable Portfolio Standard Impacts
Authors: Hannum Christopher 
Published: March 2023

Climate policy in the United States is often carried out at the state level rather than the national level, including renewable portfolio standards for the electricity generation sector. We assess the impacts of the RPS in the State of Colorado, one of the first to be implemented, using a recursive dynamic CGE model CO-E. The RPS reduces real household income in the state by an annualized value of $134.8 million in 2025 if natural gas prices are low, but results in increased incomes with medium or high natural gas prices although with medium natural gas prices the RPS causes electricity prices to rise. The impacts of the RPS are negatively correlated with those of natural gas price shocks to the overall state economy. As a result, the RPS serves as a partial insurance policy for the State against natural gas price shocks, which adds $4.53 million to the annualized benefit of the policy.
Legal status of national minorities on the Ukrainian territory in the 19th century
Authors: Ivanov S. Yu. 
Published: March 2023

The peculiarities of the formation and development of legal status of national minorities, who were on Ukrainian territory during the studied period and were engaged in various types of economic activity, as well as the influence of the general imperial and local legislation on certain aspects of the life of national minorities, have been investigated.
The regulatory and legislative acts that determined the legal status of various national communities have been analyzed. The conditions and circumstances under which the process of forming the legal status of national minorities on the territory of Ukraine took place during the 19th century have been shown in general terms. Changes in imperial legislation have been demonstrated depending on the attitude of the current government to certain events in the empire, which ranged from providing comprehensive assistance and support to a restrained attitude, and sometimes to open persecution, introduction of economic restrictions, confiscation of granted lands, etc. This was the case with representatives of the Jewish, German and Polish national minorities.
Particular attention has been paid to such legislative documents of various levels as the Regulations on the settlement of Jews, the Regulations on Jews, the Instruction of the Office of Guardianship of Novorossiysk foreign settlers, the Statute on foreign colonies in the empire, the Laws “On the lease of landed property to foreigners for up to 36 years”, “On restricting the right of Catholic peasants to acquire land property in nine Western provinces”, “On the analysis of the gentry in the Western provinces and on the arrangement of this kind of people”, Regulations on the Main Department of Colonists of the Southern Territory, etc. It has been shown that the imperial power fully supported the actions aimed at the gradual assimilation and Russification of national communities, increased social tension, thereby weakening the tendency of the formation of national political forces.
Current issues of regulating on recording of the employee’s labor activities
Authors: Chornous O. V. 
Published: March 2023

This article has analyzed the current labor legislation on recording of an employee’s labor activity. The study focuses on the settlement of theoretical and practical problematic aspects of the process of employment records digitalization, and on the non-infringement of employees’ and pensioners’ labor rights and as subjects of labor relations in this regard.
The law stipulates that an employee’s work activity will be recorded in electronic form. In addition, it regulates the procedure for accumulating, processing and using this information to confirm the length of service and automatically grants pensions with the right to postpone retirement. The legislator envisages a gradual transition from paper to electronic employment records by 2025. Within this period, it is possible to use both versions of the existing or entered information about the employee’s work history from the state register.
We believe that the purpose of introducing a digital analog of a paper employment record book was to improve the recording of Ukrainians’ labor activity, reduce paperwork and the associated risks of loss or damage to documents. It has been found that the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Electronic Employee Labor Records” have gaps in this regard which require further improvement and elaboration.
Directions of harmonization of the main principles of domestic administrative and legal science with European integration requirements
Authors: Kyrychenko O. Yu. 
Published: March 2023

It has been noted that today the process of integration of national legislation into the unified European legal system is of unprecedented importance for many spheres of Ukrainian society, and most of all for the legislative basis that regulates legal relations between the state in general and society and citizens in particular. It has been emphasized that for the above reason, the process of European integration of national legislation has the most significant impact on administrative and legal science, since this branch of law is the most important regulator of social relations in the field of public administration, specifies and regulates the rules of operation, organization of activities and legal status of public authorities, and also establishes the rights and obligations of citizens and public organizations in the specified sphere.
It has been established that an important role in the functioning of all legal branches is played by the basic, objectively determined foundations on which the activities of public authorities are built. At the same time, their functioning should be included in the system of legal acts that determine the regulatory limits of administrative law. It has been emphasized that the basis of research in the specified field of law should be the actualization and systematization of the above-mentioned principles.
It has been summarized that the directions of adaptation and harmonization of the main provisions of the national administrative and legal science with the European integration requirements set by the partner countries to Ukraine as a candidate for accession to the European Union should, first of all, be implemented through the prism of revision of the scientific paradigm of the basic principles of administrative law in general and public administration in particular. The above-mentioned approaches are aimed at demonstrating to the world community the steady rise of Ukraine as a legal, democratic state, ensuring effective cooperation of state institutions and civil society, guaranteeing commitment to the principles of the rule of law, as well as maintaining the proper level of functioning of the law enforcement mechanism of our country.

Виявлено особливості динаміки показників лісового фонду за 15-річний період у Придонецькому Степу України (на прикладі ДП «Лиманське лісове господарство», Донецька область) за даними лісовпорядкування та базою даних «Лісовий фонд». Простежено динаміку стану насаджень за даними моніторингу лісів. Проаналізовано кліматичні показники регіону досліджень за останні 60 років. Лісові насадження підприємства є типовими для регіону: переважають соснові (Pinus sylvestris L.) (57,4 % за площею) та дубові (Quercus robur L.) (17,8 %) деревостани. За останні 15 років площа соснових деревостанів дещо зменшилася, переважно внаслідок санітарних рубок в ослаблених та всихаючих деревостанах, а площа листяних порід і чагарників збільшилася. Кліматичні показники свідчать про тенденцію потепління та аридизації умов місцезростання, а дані моніторингу – про тенденцію погіршення стану соснових лісів.

Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe global epidemic of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity has been translated into pregnancy, with approximately 18% of women being diagnosed worldwide with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Whilst preventive strategies have proven effective in the non-pregnant context, attrition rates are high and there is an urgent need to develop a customized, pragmatic lifestyle intervention for women both during and after pregnancy. Diet and exercise modification, behavioral support, and Commercial Weight Management Organizations have been strongly recommended to aid postpartum weight reduction for mothers with previous GDM, subsequently reducing their risk of developing obesity and T2D. This study, informed by a previous pilot study, aims to determine the effectiveness of a pragmatic pregnancy and postpartum lifestyle modification program for overweight women with previous GDM (PAIGE2) to reduce body weight at 12 months postpartum.Methods/designThis paper summarizes the protocol for the PAIGE2 study, which has been developed based on results from a pilot study (PAIGE). A six center, two parallel arm, 12-month, randomized controlled trial will be conducted across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (3 centers each), involving 340 women with GDM and body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 recruited during pregnancy. The lifestyle intervention involves a one-hour virtual educational program (to take place at 32-36 weeks gestation). Postpartum, the intervention will include monthly phone calls, weekly motivational text messages, weekly step counts, and referral for three months to a Commercial Weight Management Organization (Slimming World). The control arm will receive usual care as offered by the local maternity hospital. The primary outcome is weight loss at 12 months postpartum. Study visits for anthropometric and clinical measurements, fasting blood samples, questionnaires pertaining to health, wellbeing and physical activity will take place at 6 weeks, 6- and 12-months postpartum. Focus groups will be conducted with intervention mothers’ post-intervention to determine the acceptability of the study design including utility of a Commercial Weight Management Organization, feasibility of remote patient contact, family involvement and patient satisfaction.DiscussionThe PAIGE2 study will address the gaps in previously conducted research and, if positive, has the potential to have major public health implications for the prevention of future GDM and subsequent T2D.Clinical trial registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04579016?term=NCT04579016&amp;draw=2&amp;rank=1, identifier NCT04579016.
Astrocyte development—More questions than answers

Published: March 2023

The past 15–20 years has seen a remarkable shift in our understanding of astrocyte contributions to central nervous system (CNS) function. Astrocytes have emerged from the shadows of neuroscience and are now recognized as key elements in a broad array of CNS functions. Astrocytes comprise a substantial fraction of cells in the human CNS. Nevertheless, fundamental questions surrounding their basic biology remain poorly understood. While recent studies have revealed a diversity of essential roles in CNS function, from synapse formation and function to blood brain barrier maintenance, fundamental mechanisms of astrocyte development, including their expansion, migration, and maturation, remain to be elucidated. The coincident development of astrocytes and synapses highlights the need to better understand astrocyte development and will facilitate novel strategies for addressing neurodevelopmental and neurological dysfunction. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of astrocyte development, focusing primarily on mammalian astrocytes and highlight outstanding questions that remain to be addressed. We also include an overview of Drosophila glial development, emphasizing astrocyte-like glia given their close anatomical and functional association with synapses. Drosophila offer an array of sophisticated molecular genetic tools and they remain a powerful model for elucidating fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms governing astrocyte development. Understanding the parallels and distinctions between astrocyte development in Drosophila and vertebrates will enable investigators to leverage the strengths of each model system to gain new insights into astrocyte function.

IntroductionSevere COVID-19 is characterized by cytokine storm, an excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines that contributes to acute lung damage and death. Dexamethasone is routinely used to treat severe COVID-19 and has been shown to reduce patient mortality. However, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of dexamethasone are poorly understood.MethodsWe conducted transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from COVID-19 patients with mild disease, and patients with severe COVID-19 with and without dexamethasone treatment. We then treated healthy donor PBMCs in vitro with dexamethasone and investigated the effects of dexamethasone treatment ion channel abundance (by RT-qPCR and flow cytometry) and function (by electrophysiology, Ca2+ influx measurements and cytokine release) in T cells.ResultsWe observed that dexamethasone treatment in severe COVID-19 inhibited pro-inflammatory and immune exhaustion pathways, circulating cytotoxic and Th1 cells, interferon (IFN) signaling, genes involved in cytokine storm, and Ca2+ signaling. Ca2+ influx is regulated by Kv1.3 potassium channels, but their role in COVID-19 pathogenesis remains elusive. Kv1.3 mRNA was increased in PBMCs of severe COVID-19 patients, and was significantly reduced in the dexamethasone-treated group. In agreement with these findings, in vitro treatment of healthy donor PBMCs with dexamethasone reduced Kv1.3 abundance in T cells and CD56dimNK cells. Furthermore, functional studies showed that dexamethasone treatment significantly reduced Kv1.3 activity, Ca2+ influx and IFN-g production in T cells.ConclusionOur findings suggest that dexamethasone attenuates inflammatory cytokine release via Kv1.3 suppression, and this mechanism contributes to dexamethasone-mediated immunosuppression in severe COVID-19.

IntroductionThis study aimed to examine the foveal stereo deviations in the different ectopic inner foveal layer (EIFL) stages of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) and assess its predictive utility for the baseline and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).MethodsBased on the calculational combination of foveal displacements in the horizontal and vertical axial optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, the foveal stereotaxic displacement was estimated through the total distance (TD, the distance from the foveal bottom to the inner edge of displaced central foveal) and horizontal distance (HD, projection of the TD in the retinal plane). The preoperative TD, HD, and other OCT- and OCT angiography (OCTA)-related indicators were obtained. The correlations between structural parameters and baseline and postoperative BCVA were evaluated through correlation and multiple linear regression analyses.ResultsIn patients with advanced EIFL stage, there was a significant increase in the HD, TD, baseline log of the minimum angle of resolution unit for BCVA, central macular thickness (CMT), acircularity index, and incidence of microcystic macular edema (MME; p &lt; 0.05). Further, they showed a decreased foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and perimeter (p &lt; 0.001). HD, TD, CMT, MME, FAZ area, and FAZ perimeter were significantly correlated with the baseline and postoperative BCVA (p &lt; 0.05). TD had the highest correlation indexic and was an individual predictor of the baseline and postoperative BCVA. Moreover, FD-300 and MME were individual predictors of postoperative BCVA.DiscussionStereoscopic foveal deviations significantly correlated with the baseline and postoperative visual acuity. TD may be used as an independent prognostic factor for BCVA.

Published: March 2023

Background: GGPS1(geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase 1) is a member of the prenyltransferase family. Abnormal expression of GGPS1 can disrupt the balance between protein farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, thereby affecting a variety of cellular physiologic and pathological processes. However, it is still unknown how this gene could contribute to the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study aimed to explore the prognostic role of GGPS1 in OSCC and its relationship with clinical features.Methods: The RNA-seq data and clinical data were obtained from TCGA. The survival analyses, Cox regression analyses, ROC curves, nomograms, calibration curves, and gene function enrichments were established by R software.Results: The results showed that the high expression of GGPS1 in OSCC is related to poor prognosis. At the same time, multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that GGPS1 could be an independent prognostic biomarker, and its gene expression level is closely related to the histological stage of cancer. GGPS1 may promote tumorigenesis because of its metabolic function.Conclusion: This study came to a conclusion that GGPS1, whose high expression has a significantly unfavorable meaning toward the prognosis of OSCC, can act as a novel independent biomarker for OSCC.
