Cyclic Fatigue Resistance of CM-Alloy, T-Wire and Conventional NiTi Rotary Files at Different Canal Curvatures

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the cyclic fatigue resistance of CM files (M3-ProGold, W3-Pro and M-Pro) and to compare it with that of the T-Wire (2Shape) and conventional NiTi (Revo-s) rotary files. Methods: Size 25/. 06 of M3 Pro Gold, W3-Pro, M-Pro, 2Shape and Revo-s files (each n = 20) were evaluated inside two artificial canals [(60 curvature, 3 mm radius) and (45 curvature, 5 mm radius)] while submerged in distilled water at 37 ± 0.5. The NCF (number of cycles to failure) was calculated. The data of NCF were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests (P ≤ 0 .05). Results: The CM files had a significantly higher NCF than the other files in severe and moderate canal curvatures. The 2Shape had a significantly higher NCF than Revo-s in both canal curvatures. Conclusion: CM files have greater resistance to cyclic fatigue than T-Wire and conventional NiTi rotary files.
Antimicrobial activity and bio-active compounds analysis in ethanolic plant extract of Punica granatum (Pomegranate) using GC-MS

: Medicinal plants are considered a bountiful origin of antimicrobial compounds. Punica granatum commonly known as pomegranate has developed as a medicinal plant with a possibility of antimicrobial activity. So, this study aimed to First: -Extract the antimicrobial components from pomegranate peel by 95% ethanol and then determine their in vitro effects against some clinical pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The clinical isolates were obtained from the National Research Centre in Dokki, and Intensive Care Units (Ismailia), Suez Canal University Hospital. Second: Study the chemical composition of the peel extract by GC-MS chromatogram (Phytochemical analysis). By using the diffusion agar method, Punica granatum ethanolic extract used with different concentrations (10, 20, 30, and 40) mg/well against the studied pathogenic bacteria and fungi. These different concentrations were highly active against pathogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29213 and Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC13883. However, not active against the pathogenic fungi Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans ATCC10231, and Candida pelliculosa MH248066. Different concentrations of Punica granatum ethanolic extract (200, 400, 600, and 800) mg/well gave marked inhibition against all the tested fungal species. The zone of inhibition was compared with different standard antimicrobial agents as streptomycin and rifampin for bacteria, Amphotericin B and fluconazole for fungi as a positive control. Forty bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified in the Ethanolic extract of Punica granatum by GC-MS method based on the peak area, molecular weight and retention time. Among forty compounds identified, only fourteen were reported to have biological activities. The present results indicate that Punica granatum contains various bioactive components.
Measurements of Patellofemoral Morphology Characteristics in Indonesian Population: an MRI Based Study

Patellar malalignment is the imbalance relationship between patella and trochlea, in which clinical findings most of the time are obscured; hence diagnosis is often challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive tool to detect subtle patellar malalignment features, so diagnosis can be made early. However, there has been no clear consensus on the normal value of patella morphology until today. This study aims to determine patellofemoral morphology values in Indonesian using MRI. This was a retrospective study of 202 patients aged 18-40 years old with knee problems without patellar instability. Patellar morphology parameters including Insal Savati ratio (IS ratio), patellar tilt angle (PTA), sulcus angle (SA) and tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) were evaluated and recorded for statistical analysis. There was no significant correlation between anthropometric values and patellar morphology values. There were significantly higher PTA, SA and TT-TG values in females compared to males. The mean value of the IS ratio in the Asian population using MRI was 0.99 ± 0.14, PTA was 9.09 ± 6.88, SA was 139.20 ± 6.38, and TT-TG distance was 8.00 ± 5.25. Further studies with larger samples and multi-center results are required.
Social Inhibition: Theoretical Review and Implications for a Dual Social Inhibition Model within the Circumplex of Personality Metatraits

The purpose of this paper is to present a new model of social inhibition (a) conceptualised as a dual structured construct including shyness and modesty, and (b) showing the complexity and diversity of these two social inhibition forms across various domains of psychosocial functioning (i.e., self-image, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural). Locating these two forms of social inhibition within the space of the Circumplex of Personality Metatraits enabled us to identify conceptually adjacent constructs to social inhibition and put the latter into a broad personality context. Through supplementary meta-analyses of the relations of shyness and modesty with the Big Five personality traits, we confront our theoretical proposition with existing empirical findings. Our paper implies that social inhibition might be successfully treated as a psychosocial disposition with two related and shared core elements, but distinct and differentially targeted forms—more neurotic and dysfunctional shyness and more agreeable and adaptive modesty.
SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant in Croatia—Rapid Detection of the First Case and Cross-Border Spread

Background: Due to rapid spread, the Omicron variant has become the dominant SARS-CoV-2 variant responsible for infections worldwide. We present the first detection of the Omicron variant in Croatia which resulted in rapid cross-border spreading. Methods: Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiniSeq sequencing system. SARS-CoV-2 lineages were identified using the PANGOLIN and GISAID databases. Results: The first case of the Omicron variant (BA.1.17) emerged in Croatia after a workshop held in Zagreb in November 2021. The patient reported a history of previous COVID-19 and received two doses of an mRNA vaccine. Three additional cases were detected among Croatian participants of the workshop. At the beginning of December, SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed in one participant from Montenegro and her husband. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the detected Omicron variants were closely related to the first Croatian case, confirming the connection with the workshop outbreak and rapid cross-border spreading. Subsequent analyses of SARS-CoV-2 positive samples in Croatia showed the rapid introduction of the Omicron variant and depletion of the Delta variant resulting in the fifth pandemic wave. Conclusions: Genomic monitoring and early detection of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants are essential to implement timely epidemiological interventions and reduce further transmission in the population.
Transboundary water governance and water conflicts in the Lake Victoria Basin: an adaptive and integrative management approach

Lake Victoria Basin is a transboundary natural resource shared by five East African Community countries. The Basin experiences unsustainable water resource utilization and management which creates conflicts among the users. This objective of this study was to examine the contribution of transboundary water governance systems in managing the water conflicts in the Basin. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and focused group discussions where respondents were clustered and purposively selected while quantitative data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS. Lake Victoria Basin Governance Performance Composite Index was also used to assess the effectiveness of governance systems in the Basin. The study findings revealed that: transboundary water governance systems with participation, integration, legal frameworks, collaboration, equity and adaptability, all with P < 0.05 negatively and significantly influence the causes of conflicts and water management challenges; integration (20%) and equity (19%) contribute highly to the model; and both adaptive and integrative water governance systems are less effective with a score of 34% and 35% respectively. The study concludes that the current management systems require an adaptive and integrative governance system. The study recommends harmonization of regional laws and policies governing the Basin and involvement of local communities in decision making.
Identifying the Core Driver for the Islamic Banking Capital Adequacy Regulation

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic raised the stability challenges for the modern banking systems. As a remedy, the regulators and investors turned their eyes to the Islamic Banking. Many people view it as a full substitute to the dominant conventional banking establishments. We hypothesized that the benefits of the Islamic Banking can be fully enjoyed if and only if it is accompanied with the robust regulatory framework. Such a framework could offer room for the national discretion to define ‘alpha’ parameter within the capital adequacy ratio. The novelty of our paper is the largest collected to date set of alpha value embedded in the Islamic Banking jurisdictions. Purpose: This research paper aims to able to identify the core driver to locally determine the value of alpha. The credit-to-GDP ratio was shown to be such a driver. We demonstrated that the earlier academic research had offered the Vasicek-based theoretical models for the Islamic Banking that had implied right the opposite values of alpha. Methodology: We have eight independent determinants with presenting the alpha values for 11 countries registered in 2007 and in 2016.Those are the four macroeconomic variables. we have collected the input data for the regression model. Findings: The credit-to-GDP ratio was shown to be such a driver. We demonstrated that the earlier academic research had offered the Vasicek-based theoretical models for the Islamic Banking that had implied right the opposite values of alpha. Thus, the usage of the determinant revealed by us could be of help to the central bankers when shaping the framework for Islamic Banking capital adequacy. Paper Type: Research Article

The test is conducted by inoculating the isolates on nitrogen deficient of Modified Ashby's broth sequence analysis and quantitative evaluate of their nitrogen fixation.
Short-Term Spinal Cord Stimulation or Pulsed Radiofrequency for Elderly Patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most common and severe complication after varicella-zoster infection, especially in elderly patients. PHN is always refractory to treatment. Both pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and short-term spinal cord stimulation (stSCS) have been used as effective analgesia methods in clinic. However, which technique could provide better pain relief remains unknown. Objectives This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of PRF and stSCS in elderly patients with PHN. Study Design. A prospective, randomized-controlled study. Setting. Department of Pain Management, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Methods A total of 70 elderly patients with PHN were equally randomized to the PRF group or stSCS group. Patients in the PRF group received PRF treatment, while patients in the stSCS group received stSCS treatment. The primary outcome was the effective rate. The secondary outcomes included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), and the pregabalin dosage. All outcomes were evaluated at baseline and at different postoperative time points. Results At 12 months after surgery, the effective rate reached 79.3% in stSCS group, while 42.1% in PRF group. The effective rate was significantly higher in the stSCS group than in the PRF group at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. VAS scores decreased significantly at each postoperative time point in both groups (P < 0.001). The VAS scores were significantly lower in the stSCS group than in the PRF group at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. SF-36 scores (bodily pain and the physical role) were significantly improved at each postoperative time point in both groups (P < 0.001). The SF-36 scores were significantly higher in the stSCS group than in the PRF group at some postoperative time points. The pregabalin dosage was significantly lower in the stSCS group than in the PRF group at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Limitations. A single-center study with a relatively small sample size. Conclusions Both PRF and stSCS are effective and safe neuromodulation techniques for elderly patients with PHN. However, stSCS could provide better and longer-lasting analgesic effect compared to PRF.

The study attempted to investigate the effect of using comic strips on developing reading comprehension of second year preparatory school students. One hundred-twenty students from AL-Robi preparatory school, Samalout Educational Directorate, Minia governorate were randomly selected. The study adopted the quasi-experimental design as hundred-twenty participants were divided into two groups. The treatment group (n= 60) was taught by using the comic strips strategy (CSS), while the non-treatment group (n=60) was taught following the plan prescribed by the ministry of Education in Egypt. The instrument of study was a reading comprehension test. The instrument was judged by jury members. Analysis of the collected data indicated that most of the comic strips strategy model participants achieved significantly higher levels in reading comprehension skills than those of the non-treatment group. It was concluded that the comic strips strategy helps second year preparatory school students to develop their reading comprehension skills in English as a foreign language.
Patients’ Satisfaction with E-Prescribing (Wasfaty) in Saudi Arabia: A Survey of Country-Level Implementation

Aim: This study was conducted to assess patient satisfaction with the e-prescription service implemented by the Ministry of Health hospitals and primary healthcare centres in Saudi Arabia. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using a random sampling technique, and an online questionnaire was distributed among the study population. A five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (not at all satisfied) to 5 (very satisfied), was used to assess patient satisfaction. Results and Conclusions: A total of 400 patients participated in the study. More than half (57.5%) of them were males, and approximately one-third were between the ages of 30 and 39. Aspects related to the pharmacy, i.e., accessibility of pharmacies in terms of numbers, location, and opening hours, as well as pharmacy facilities, including waiting area, counselling area, dispensing area and parking lots, were skewed towards 5 (very satisfied). Aspects related to pharmacy personnel, i.e., knowledge, skills, and competencies, as well as friendliness and approachability, were also skewed towards 5 (very satisfied). Factors related to patient experience with Wasfaty, the new service, as compared with old primary healthcare centres’ pharmaceutical services, such as the availability of pharmacists, procedures for refills, waiting time, privacy, and confidentiality, were also skewed towards 5 (very satisfied).
The Application of Machine Learning Methods to Predict the Power Output of Internal Combustion Engines

: The indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) is a key parameter for measuring the power output of an internal combustion engine (ICE). This indicator can be used to locate the high efficiency regions of engines. Therefore, it makes sense to predict the IMEP based on the machine learning (ML) approaches. However, different ML models are applicable to different scenarios, so it is important to choose the right model for prediction. The objective of this paper was to compare three ML models’ (ANN, SVR, RF) predictive performance in forecasting IMEP indicator with the input parameters spark timing (ST), speed and load. A validated one-dimensional (1D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was employed to provide 756 sets of data for the training, validation, and testing of the model. The results indicated that the random forest (RF) model had the worst prediction performance, and support vector regression (SVR) had a slightly better prediction performance than the artificial neural network (ANN), at least for the investigations in this study. Overall, the ANN and SVR models showed good predictive performance for IMEP, as the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) was close to unity, and the root mean squared error (RMSE) was close to zero. Whereas the overall prediction results of the RF model are acceptable, the RF model does not learn well for some internal engine laws.
Antibacterial Effect of Cinnamon Oil against Uropathogenic Multidrug Resistant

Cinnamon is known for its antimicrobial activity and the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of its essential oil against ten of the multidrug-resistant uropathogenic by agar well diffusion assays. The diameters of the inhibition zone to the Cinnamon oil were 27 mm for S. aureus, 24 mm for E coli, 20 mm for P.aeruginosa, 22 mm for K.pneumoniae, 23 mm for E.aerogenes & P. mirabilis, 24 mm for E. faecalis, and 27 mm for N.gonorrhoeae, A.baumanni, S.epidermis. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of the cinnamon essential oil are evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), the inhibition zone, and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). Cinnamon was the most effective agent in inhibiting A.baumanni, N.gonorrhoeae, S. epidermis, E. faecalis and E. coli with the lowest MIC (0.0313%) while S.aureus, E. aerogenes and P. aeruginosa with MIC (0.125%) while P. mirabilis was 0.0625% in our study. The MBC was 0. 25% for A.baumanni, 0.5 % for N, gonorrhoeae, S. epidermis, E. faecalis, and K. pneumonia, while 1% S.aureus, E. aerogenes, P. mirabilis, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.
