Non-Surgical Approach to Correct Skeletal Open-Bite Malocclusion in an Adult Patient Using Third Molar Intrusion Mechanics: A Clinical Case Report

Paradigm is shifting in the orthodontic world with the introduction of mini screw type of temporary anchorage devices (TADs). This clinical report shows treatment and 3-year retention results of nonsurgical and extraction treatment in a 34-year-old female patient treated with maxillary molar intrusion mechanics and habit control. After 24 months of active orthodontic treatment, splendid outcomes were achieved. She presented with a chief complaint of problems in biting from her front teeth. She has a Class II skeletal and dental relationship with increased vertical proportions. Control of vertical dimension and producing autorotation of mandible were the key reasons to reduce facial convexity and improvement in profile. Treatment effects of 5 degrees of autorotation of mandible and 4 mm of maxillary molar intrusion were produced to correct pre-treatment anterior open bite of 5 mm. Based on available clinical evidence, we suggest that TADs with composite buttons on molars can be used as a valuable tool to intrude molars including wisdom teeth, and help correct the skeletal open-bite with good control without buccal tipping.
Investigation of the Role of Arabinoxylan on Dough Mixing Properties in Native and Model Wheat Dough Systems

The aim of this work was to investigate and compare the effect of arabinoxylan (AX) addition and incorporation on the mixing properties of native and model doughs of different wheat types, to get more insight into the role of AXs in dough formation. In the experiments, flour samples of a wheat variety (normal starch type) and two wheat lines (waxy and high amylose) were used. Model doughs were composed by fractionating flours into starch and gluten followed by subsequent reconstitution according to their original gluten to starch ratio. AX isolate was dosed in 1% and 3% to the native and model doughs. Incorporation of AX was performed by reduction and re-oxidation of wheat dough with dithiothreitol (DTT) and KIO3, respectively. Model doughs behaved similarly to native doughs thus were found appropriate for the model experiments. In general, higher AX level resulted higher dough consistency in every dough system compared to the corresponding base dough, however, the extent of the growth was different. In case of assumed AX incorporation only small differences were found in the mixing properties compared to AX addition. Based on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) analysis, some minor but clear changes were observed in the protein subunit profile of AX containing doughs compared to base doughs, but no difference was identified between doughs made by AX addition and AX incorporation. However, the characterization of the gluten-AX interactions requires more detailed investigation, in which a pure gluten-starch-AX model system can offer a valuable, well-defined matrix.
Prevention of Occupational Hazards Due to Asbestos Exposure in Dentistry. A Proposal from a Panel of Experts

Asbestos in all its forms is a Group 1 material agent with proven carcinogenic effects in the human being since 1977. Exposure to asbestos can be considered unsafe. The use of asbestos in the field of dentistry had a common use in the manufacture of dental prostheses in the 1960s and 1970s. Taking into account the long induction period of this agent and the plausibility for being a risk factor in dentistry, the objective of this study is to propose a plan for the prevention of occupational risks due to asbestos exposure in dentistry by means of the contribution of a panel of experts. An Expert Panel (EP) approach was used in which a group of nine experts identified and documented the use of asbestos in the dental profession. EP was created and followed the protocol in accordance with the EuropeAid Assessment Guidelines. As a result of this study, EP documented the common use and sources of asbestos in dentistry in prosthetic materials, dental dressings, and in the coating of casting cylinders. EP also created a consensus document on the priority measures for the Plan for the Prevention of Risks from Asbestos in Dentistry, based on previous reports from the European Commission Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee. The document concluded that obtainment of information, receiving specific training on the subject and performing epidemiological studies, and the proper risk assessments were the priority measures to adopt.
Determining Factors of Financial Performance Recovery in BRI During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) succeeded in loan restructuring in the Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) segment. Loan restructuring has succeeded in pushing BRI to achieve the highest financial performance. This study aims to determine the success factors of BRI's loan restructuring. The research object is the Credit Restructuring and Recovery Division. This study applies a qualitative case study. Interviews and documentation were used to collect the data. The findings indicate that the critical success factor in dealing with the crisis is ability to adapt to policies change. The debtor's criteria and loan restructuring cycle are critical success factors of BRI's loan restructuring before the restructuring policy is set. The combination of three main components, namely interest rates, extending loan terms, and payment delays, are a determining factor for the success of loan restructuring. There are five components that support the success of loan restructuring, namely loan marketing, loan guarantee, personal values, information and communication, and other party cooperation.
Formation and Evolution of Galaxies: Starlight Synthesis Algorithm

This study will see the resurgence of interest in precise velocity dispersion measurements, both for the study of galactic and active nuclei kinematics. As several works suggest, an excellent tactic to measure σ is to use the absorption lines of the calcium triplet, as it is a spectral region relatively free from complications. The discovery of an empirical relationship between the mass of the central black hole (M •) and σ was the leading guide of my detailed study of the calcium triplet region. This search for more accurate methods to calculate the dispersion of velocities, in addition to the careful study of uncertainties. After investing so much time in the development and improvement of the method and its application to so many galaxies, it is time to reap the rewards of this effort, using my results to address a series of questions concerning the physics of galaxies.

Maize nutrient yield response and requirement in the maize belt of Nigeria

Absence of site-specific nutrient recommendation and high spatial variability of soil fertility are major factors affecting maize response to applied nutrients in Nigeria. In this study, we assessed maize response to applied nutrients and nutrient use efficiency in different management zones (MZs), for designing site-specific nutrient management recommendations for maize in the maize belt of Nigeria. The maize belt in Nigeria was earlier delineated into four MZsMZs (MZ1 to MZ4) based on soil properties. In the current study, data from two different trials, nutrient omission trials (N = 293) and fertilizer response trial (N = 705), conducted in the years 2015–2017, were extracted for MZ1 to MZ3; to analyze maize yield responses to application of N, P and K, and secondary and micro-nutrients. Maize yield response to K application was only positive in MZ1. Responses to N and P application were positive for all MZs. However, the magnitude of maize response to P varied between the MZs, indicating a differentiation in the degree to which P is limiting maize production in the study area. Average nitrogen requirement was higher for MZ3 (138 kg ha−1), than for MZ2 and MZ1 (121 and 83 kg ha−1, respectively). Average P requirement was higher for MZ3 (45 kg ha−1) than for the other zones. Potassium requirement was 26% and 28% higher in MZ2 and MZ3 compared with MZ1 (∼15 kg ha−1). The use of the specific nutrient rates for the MZs may reduce risks and uncertainties in crop production. The delineated MZs of the maize belt of Nigeria that incorporates spatial variability in soil fertility conditions are useful for nutrient management for larger areas.
Open Innovation in Services? A Conceptual Model of Barriers to Service Innovation Adoption

Recently, there has been an increased focus on the service sector as a source for economic growth and development. This is particularly true in the knowledge-based services where the need for innovative service offerings in the global market continues to grow. The open innovation model is one which has been gaining in popularity as the technology continues to improve the ability for global collaborations and partnerships. Currently, little is understood of innovation in the services, and in particular open service innovation. This paper presents an extension of existing models of open innovation focusing on innovation sources and diffusion of open service innovation. Particular attention is paid to the potential barriers to open service innovation in order to demonstrate the additional complexities in managing open service innovations in comparison to their physical good counterparts. The conceptual model provides insight into areas for future research at the individual, meso-, and macro-levels to better understand the factors that influence open services innovation, situations in which open innovation is most practical, and intricacies necessary to support open innovation in services.
The decision to use Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) systems for house building projects in the UK

The decision to use Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) as a construction strategy in the house building industry is often made using ‘gut-feel’ or poor information and at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons. Research has shown that the correct use of OSM in house building has the potential to address some of the key challenges facing the UK house building industry, such as the increase in supply of new homes, skills shortage gap, the need to reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impacts, reduce overall project duration, minimise overall project costs, and reduce defects in new housing. However, with poor decision making surrounding the use of OSM, this potential remains untapped.
Exploring the Key Factors that Lead to Intentions to Use AI Fashion Curation Services through Big Data Analysis

An increasing number of companies in the fashion industry are using AI curation services. The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions of and intentions to use AI fashion curation services among customers by using text mining. To accomplish this goal, we collected a total of 34,190 online posts from two Korean portals, Naver and Daum. We conducted frequency analysis to identify the most frequently mentioned keywords using Textom. The analysis extracted “various,” “good,” “many,” “right,” and “new” at the highest frequency, indicating that consumers had positive perceptions of AI fashion curation services. In addition, we conducted a semantic network analysis with the top-50 most frequently used keywords, classifying customers’ perceptions of AI fashion curation services into three groups: shopping, platform, and business profit. We also identified the factors that boost continuous use intentions: usability, usefulness, reliability, enjoyment, and personalization. We conclude this paper by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
Validation of the English Version of the General Dietary Behavior Inventory (GDBI-E)

In medical science and practice, dietary behavior is mostly assessed by item-extensive questionnaires (e.g., food-frequency-questionnaires) or by questionnaires focusing on psychological aspects of dietary behavior neglecting dietary quality or quantity. In consequence, these questionnaires do not capture the full bandwidth of dietary behavior or are less effective in the assessment of dietary behavior because of the large item pools. Therefore, the aim of this validation study was to translate the existing General Dietary Behavior Inventory (GDBI), which was constructed as a behavior-related, as well as effective, instrument, and verifying its construct and criterion validity. This inventory is based on the general nutrition recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Our English-speaking convenience sample consisted of 263 participants. The study results confirmed convergent, as well as criterion validity of the English version of the GDBI (GDBI-E). Discriminant validity of the GDBI-E could mainly be verified. Different dietary behavior clusters were identified in a cluster analysis. The found clusters represented a rather healthy and a rather unhealthy dietary behavior in the sample according to the recommendations of the WHO. The results underpinned the validity of the GDBI-E. The GDBI-E is applicable in research and clinical practice to assess dietary behavior in the English-speaking population.
The Implementation of Constructivist Approach in Competency-Based Curriculum: A Case of Geography Teaching in Selected Secondary Schools in Songea Municipality

This study investigated the implementation of constructivist approach in competency based curriculum, specifically in teaching and learning Geography in secondary schools. The assessment was guided by three research objectives: first, to evaluate the awareness of teachers and students on the constructivist approach in teaching and learning process; second, to find out how teachers apply constructivist approach in the attempt to develop learner competences and third; to evaluate how the learners use competences gained in solving real life problems. The study adopted case study design whereby five secondary schools were selected in Songea municipality. The study involved 100 respondents, comprising of 80 students, 5 heads of schools, 5 academic masters and 10 geography teachers. The study employed mainly qualitative research approach. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, documentary review and classroom observation. Data were analyzed in the light of research objectives. The findings have revealed that, students were not aware of competency based approach whereas teachers were aware of it, however most teachers seem not to implement the approach due to various factors including; lack of teaching and learning materials like books, poor or low level of language proficiency on the part of some teachers and most students. It was also found that lecturing-method is a dominant teaching technique used in schools. It was further found that teachers were not provided with seminars/courses as a strategy to improve the teaching-learning situation; as a result of which old approaches or traditional-learning-methods were still used by most teachers.The study recommends that; there is a need for regular in-service training for teachers to enable them to implement the curriculum and enable students to apply the new knowledge after completion of their studies
Two-objective Optimization And Robustness

In this paper, the issue of optimization with one constraint or several competing or non-competing constraints is addressed through examples. In the design of heat exchanger structures the objectives are minimal thermal resistance and minimal pumping power. These objectives can be met at the same time by improving the flow architecture, for example, by using tree networks. Trees between a circle and its center have been optimized by two methods: the minimization of global flow resistance, and the local minimization of every duct length. The two optimized architectures are similar. Their complexity is an optimization result. The tree-shaped design is robust, and continues to perform at a high level even when it has not been optimized in every detail. More complex and a lot closer to reality are problems where the constraints imposed lead to competing results of the optimization. This statement is illustrated through the design of vertical wall cavities undergoing two kinds of constraints: mechanical and thermal. It is shown that in spite of the existence of competing objectives, an optimal structure can be designed so that both objectives are met.
Investigation on the Teachers’ Morality in Universities: A Comparative Study of Teacher-Student Evaluations*

The construction of teachers’ morality has always been the focus of education. It is of positive significance to understand the current situation of teachers’ morality in universities. However, teachers and students may have different understandings of the connotation and current situation of teachers’ morality. Therefore, the self-designed Questionnaire of Teachers’ Morality for students and teachers is used to understand the current situation of teachers’ morality in universities from different perspectives of teachers and students and conduct comparative researchers. The results showed that the total average score and each dimension score of teachers’ self-evaluation were significantly higher than those of students. Based on the research results, the future education work can promote the construction of teachers’ morality in the aspects of perfecting the management mechanism, optimizing the effective evaluation tools, strengthening the construction of a benign relationship between teachers and students.
Housing production, tenure mix and social mix

Abstract Social mix through tenure mix is a policy tool to combat segregation in Sweden and elsewhere. We study if new construction of housing in Swedish cities, 1995–2017, has affected tenure mix in neighborhoods, and if this in turn affected social mix. Findings show that housing construction contributes to tenure mix, but effects on social mix are less clear. We show a negative association between new housing production and increased social mix; however, those living in new housing in higher income neighborhoods tend to have lower incomes than those living in older housing and vice versa in lower income neighborhoods. This shows that new housing production is a tool for creating social mix, but other processes may dwarf the effects. We conclude that while housing tenure mix is a blunt tool for creating social mix, there are positive effects of such efforts.
Role of Protein C, Protein S and Antithrombin III Levels in High-risk Pregnant Women in Karachi's Gadap Region for Obstetric Complications

Objectives: Thrombophilia has been connected to both pregnancy difficulties and recurrent miscarriage. The purpose of this project is to establish a baseline of protein C, protein S, and AT III levels in pregnant females with various pregnancy-related problems, assess the prevalence of acquired deficiency in these parameters, and compare the results to a control group. Method: In conjunction with Muhammadi Blood Bank, Baqai Medical University conducted a cross-sectional study. There were 150 pregnant and non-pregnant women in the study. The immunoturbidity approach was used to assess the free protein S level, and the bichrome method was utilised to determine ATIII activity, while the clot-based methodology was used to determine PT, APTT, and protein C activity. All parameters were examined using the CA-650 automated coagulation analyzer. Results: The mean age range of the participant was 18-45 years. Most of participants were Sindhi. The participants ranged in age from 18 to 45 years old. Sindhis made up the majority of the attendees. When all three were compared, there was a significant difference in Protein C and Protein S levels (p-value=0.001), while AT III levels were insignificant. Protein S levels were found to be lower in all four pregnancy problems (PIH, IUD, Miscarriages, and Multiple Pregnancies), however only Protein C levels were lower in IUD. Conclusion: Our findings showed that protein S levels were low in both healthy pregnant women and those in the high-risk group, with no significant association with distinct problem groups. Reduced protein C levels, on the other hand, were found to have a statistically significant link to IUD instances. Antithrombin III (ATIII) levels were found to be normal in all of the groups studied.
Effect of tree girdling on some varieties of Chinese date (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.).

Special production practices can be used to enhance yield and overall fruit quality. Trunk and branch girdling are known among those practices applicable to some wooden fruit species. For Chinese date (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) girdling was a common practice in traditional orchards with the aim to increase the fruit set. Short and deep wounds were usually made with an ax in the tree bark and phloem around the trunk. The paper presents the effect of girdling applied at the beginning of the flowering season on tree trunk and lateral branches. The girdled jujube trees increased their yield by improving fruit set, enlarged fruit size and advanced fruit maturity. Girdling effect was notable for some genotypes: larger fruit size by 3 to 5 mm in diameter, earlier harvest by 3 up to 10 days and reduced number of pickings at harvests. Varietal response to this practice, however, was quite variable. Preliminary results showed that the varieties response to girdling was substantial in some and almost unnoticeable in others.
Cavitation Erosion Modelling on a Radial Divergent Test Section Using RANS

Cavitation is the phenomenon of fluid evaporation in hydraulic systems, which occurs due to a pressure drop below the value of the vapor pressure. For numerical modeling of this generally undesirable phenomenon, which is often associated with material damage (erosion), there are various mathematical vapor transfer models that have been validated in the past. There are different approaches to predicting cavitation erosion, which have mostly been experimental in the past. Recently various numerical models have been developed with the development of numerical simulations. They describe the phenomenon of cavitation erosion based on different theoretical considerations, such as Pressure wave hypothesis, Microjet hypothesis, or a combination of both. In the present paper, an analysis of the Schnerr-Sauer transport cavitation model was used, upgraded with an erosive potential energy model based on pressure wave hypothesis for cavitation erosion prediction. The extended numerical model has been applied to the case of a radial divergent test section in three different mathematical formulations. The results of simulation were compared and validated to experimental work performed by other authors. The study shows that the distribution of surface accumulated energy agrees with the experimental results, although certain differences exist between formulations. The applied method appears to be appropriate for further use, and to be extended to materials response modeling in the future.
