Smartphone Addiction and Its Impact on Knowledge, Cognitive, and Psychomotor Skills of the Dental Students at Jazan University

Ab s t r Ac t Aim: Impact of smartphone (SP) addiction on knowledge, cognitive, and psychomotor skills of dental students at Jazan University. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 students (male and female) in the dentistry college, Jazan University. A validated questionnaire was used to collect the data of SP usage to check its addiction among the studied subjects. Participation in the study was voluntary. Once the responses from the participating students were obtained; they were classified as SP-addicted and SP non-addicted students. Later, their performance in the theory exam (for knowledge and cognitive skills) and clinical exam (for psychomotor skills) along with their addiction status and gender were correlated and compared by doing statistical analysis using the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed no significant negative impact of SP addiction on knowledge, cognitive, and psychomotor skills of dental students at Jazan University. Conclusion: This is the first study known to the authors that deals with the effects of SP addiction on the knowledge, cognitive, and psychomotor skills of dental students. The limitations of this study warrant further studies in this regard with a larger sample size and better design to further study the effects of SP use and addiction and make evidence-based recommendations on the use of SP and its effects on operative dentistry skills among dentists. Clinical significance: Understanding the effects of SP addiction on knowledge, cognitive, and psychomotor skills will help in modifying the behavior related to the use of SPs by dental students and improve their academic performance.
Motorized Two-Wheeler Accidents; A leading Cause of Death and Disabilities: Autopsy Based Study in Tertiary Care Hospital

Background: More than half of all road traffic deaths in the world occur among vulnerable road users including pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists whereas; motorcyclists contribute almost one fourth of the death toll of road traffic crashes. Implementation of suitable strategies to address the issues of road traffic crashes is much difficult without information, absolute value of the problem, patterns and risks of injuries & death. Objective: To determine the different patterns, severity and distribution of injuries & their frequency in motorized two wheelers accidents. Study Design: Cross-sectional Study. Settings: Study was conducted in the department of Forensic Medicine at Nishtar Medical University, Multan Pakistan. Duration: One year from January 01, 2018 to December 31, 2018. Methodology: Total 167 cases died of road traffic accidents brought for autopsy and of those, 104 cases were reported to be died of motorcycle accidents involving both riders & pillion riders. The data of victim’s age, gender, site and pattern of injuries were obtained through detailed examination of the hospital record, autopsy reports and police inquest. The injuries over head, neck & thoraco abdominal region were given due consideration being dangerous to life. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Results: Of the total 104 cases died in motorcycle accidents; 99 (95.20%) were males & 5 (4.80%) female. Riders died in 81 (77.89%) cases & pillion riders 23 (22.11%). The age group between 21-40 years involved 67 (64.42%) cases; maximum injuries were observed on Head/Face affecting 84 (80.8%) cases while on thorax 26 (25%) cases, Neck/Spine 12 (11.5%), pelvis 14 (13.4%) and abdominal area sustained injuries in 8 (7.6%) cases. As regard pattern of injuries; abrasions were found in 48 (31%) cases, lacerations 38 (24%), contusions 14 (9%) while fractures were observed in 56 (36%) cases. Among fatal injuries, 74 (71%) were found on Head, 7 (6.7%) over cervical spines, 3 (2.8%) on limbs whereas fatal injuries on thorax & Abdomino-pelvic areas were found 6 (9.6%) in each category. Of the total 81 riders, fractures of skull were observed in 59 (73%) cases and of 23 pillion riders, 16 (69.5%) got fracture of skull. Conclusion: Male riders of motorcycles belonging to age range 21-40 years were more prone to fatal injuries i.e., fractures of skull, neck, spine & Abdomino-thoracic injuries. Abrasions, contusions and lacerations were the most common type of injuries. Helmet legislation needs to be supported by strong enforcement and social marketing campaigns. Reducing the incidence by strict implementation of traffic rules and safety education via electronic & print media is need of the day.
Sustainability in evolving cities through densification: the ABRACADABRA strategy for balancing energy and costs of deep renovation processes

The European project ABRACADABRA is based on the idea that an appropriate densification strategy in urban environments could be an opportunity to activate a market for urban regeneration and deep energy renovation; as a matter of fact, the proposed renovation is based on volumetric add-ons and renewables intended as so called “assistant buildings’ unit(s) (i.e. aside or rooftop extensions or entire new constructions) that “adopt” the existing buildings to achieve a synergy between old and new to generate a nearly zero energy balance. This results in a punctual densification policy that aims at fostering investments, while potentially repairing the modern city form. In this context, the project promotes a sort of legislative and market “earthquake” accelerating a potential revolution in the existing urban settings. The effectiveness of this strategy has been assessed in more than 70 case studies, also outside the EU, in order to verify its scalability and considering other non-energy related benefits. This paper illustrates specific studies in NYC and Athens (Greece) that combine the global drivers of energy reduction with specific local needs. Results demonstrate how the add-ons’ strategy may help preserving soil consumption while providing an extraordinary opportunity to enhance urban resiliency by challenging local emergencies.
Malignancies in Immunoglobulin G4-related ophthalmic disease

Purpose Clinical phenotypes in Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) according to the patterns of affecting organs have different risks of malignancies. We attempt to determine the association of malignancies with IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD). Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Review of medical records, orbital images and histopathology reports in a territory-wide cohort of biopsy proven IgG4-ROD patients from 2005–2019. Findings Among 122 patients who had biopsies taken from adnexal lesions including lacrimal glands (n = 108), orbital mass (n = 30), infiltrated orbital fat (n = 10), conjunctiva (n = 2) or extraocular muscles (n = 3), 13% (16/122) developed malignancies over 73 ± 48months’ follow-up. There were 9 cases of ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and 7 extra-orbital malignancies. Compared with the general population, the incidence of OAL was significantly higher (standardized incidence ratios, SIRs = 10.0, 95%CI = 4.5–17.6) while that of extra-orbital malignancies was similar. The SIRs was highest within the first year (SIR = 46.7, 95%CI = 18.5–87.6) when 7 OAL were concomitantly diagnosed. Patients who developed OAL or extra-orbital malignancies were older than other patients at IgG4-ROD diagnosis (64.9 ± 7.1, 68.3 ± 8.5 versus 55.2 ± 15.0 years, P < 0.05). Asymmetric lacrimal gland enlargement (78% versus 13%), lack of frontal (0% versus 12%) or infraorbital nerve enlargement (0% versus 36%) were associated with OAL (all P < 0.05). Pre-treatment serum IgG4 level or extra-orbital IgG4-RD involvement was similar among patients with or without malignancies. Conclusion In this biopsy-proven IgG4-ROD cohort, 7% developed OAL which was 10 times higher than the general population. Patients with asymmetric lacrimal gland enlargement or without trigeminal nerves involvement radiologically were associated with OAL.
Environmental Design Factors for Open Space in Healing Facilities - Focused on Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital and The Nationwide Children’s Hospital -

The open space of the healing facility should contribute to the psychological and social healing of the users, provide a social environment for rest, and provide a design factor to support the walking path to move to the destination-connected space. In this paper, I examined the relationship between the environmental elements, spatial devices, and the characteristics of the design factors in the open space for healing facilities. As a research method, based on the analysis of previous studies, a healing facility in modern society was defined, and the relationship between the social support and physical environment factors of the healing facility where open space was considered. Through the consideration of cases, the characteristics of the physical space environment, and the design factors of the open space in the healing facility were categorized. As a result of research, open space in the healing facility is a space to promote a social exchange of users, as a physical form for accommodating psychological and social healing functions, it is necessary to construct the connection of the external space with the internal space.
Efﬁcient prediction of trait judgments from faces using deep neural networks

Judgments of people from their faces are often invalid but inﬂu-ence many social decisions (e.g., legal sentencing), making them an important target for automated prediction. Direct training of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) is difﬁcult because of sparse human ratings, but features obtained from DC-NNs pre-trained on other classiﬁcations (e.g., object recognition) can predict trait judgments within a given face database. However, it remains unknown if this latter approach generalizes across faces, raters, or traits. Here we directly compare three distinct types of face features, and test them across multiple out-of-sample datasets and traits. DCNNs pre-trained on face identiﬁcation provided features that generalized best, and models trained to predict a given trait also predicted several other traits. We demonstrate the ﬂexibility, generalizability, and efﬁciency of using DCNN features to predict human trait judgments from faces, providing an easily scalable framework for automated prediction of human judgment.
Inorganic Phosphorous, Lime and Vermicompost Induced Changes on Phosphorus Fractions and Other Properties of Acidic Soil of Cheha District, Ethiopia

Background: In acid soils, soluble inorganic phosphorus is fixed by aluminum and iron, so that phosphorous availability to plant would be inhibited. Thus, an incubation study was conducted to evaluate the effects of lime, vermicompost, and mineral P fertilizer on the distribution of P fractions and oxalate and dithionite extractable aluminum and iron. The treatments consisted of three rates of phosphorous (0, 74.51 and 149.01 kg P ha-1), three rates of vermicompost (0, 5 and 10 ton VC ha-1) and four rates of lime (0, 5.70, 9.20, and 11.50 ton CaCO3 ha-1). The experiment was laid out as a complete randomized design in a factorial arrangement. Results: Combined application of lime, vermicompost and mineral P significantly increased (p<0.05) labile phosphorus fractions and decreased potential sorption capacities of the soil. As the increased soil pH, reduced exchangeable acidity and oxalate extractable Fe and Al the integrated applications of these amendments fixed aluminum and iron instead of phosphorus, thus rendering phosphorus available by keeping the inorganic phosphorus in a bioavailable labile phosphorus pool compared to sole application of the amendments. Conclusions: Combined applications of lime, vermicompost and inorganic P to acidic soils of Goha-1 in Cheha district could convey enhanced amount of available P and ensures the maintenance of higher levels of labile P. It might also contribute towards meeting crop P requirements.
The effect of different mineral fillers on starch/rice husk composite properties

The objective of this research was to study the feasibility of producing biodegradable thermoplastic starch rice-husk composites. The effect of different types of mineral fillers on the various properties of thermoplastic starch composites filled with rice-husk flour, an agricultural waste residue, was studied. The mineral fillers aluminum trihydrate (ATH), magnesium dihydroxide (MDH), nanoparticulate MDH, and nanoclay were studied. It was found that the addition of the mineral fillers and especially nanofillers improved the dimensional stability and the mechanical properties of the composites, while decreasing their biodegradability. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that substituting mineral fillers for some part of the lignocellulosic component increased the extents of weight-loss in the first and second steps, but decreased the weight-loss in the last step. This substitution also led to a slight decrease in the thermal decomposition temperatures at the curve peaks.
Variations in biomass, production and respiration of fine roots in a young larch forest

Root respiration ( R r ) plays a crucial role in the global carbon balance, because R r accounts for about a half of soil respiration in typical forest ecosystems. Plant roots are different in metabolism and functions according to size. Fine roots, which are typically defined as roots < 2 mm in diameter, perform important ecosystem functions and consequently govern belowground carbon cycles mainly because of their high turnover rates. However, the phenological variation of fine root functions is not well understood yet. To quantitatively examine the fine root functions, we adopted an approach to partition R r into growth respiration ( R g ) and maintenance respiration ( R m ) using a modified traditional model, in which R g was proportional to root production, and R m was proportional to root biomass and exponentially related to soil temperature. We conducted a field experiment on soil respiration and fine root biomass and production over a year in a larch-dominated young forest developing on the bare ground after removing surface organic soil to parameterize the model. The model was significantly parameterized using the field data measured in such simplified field conditions, because we could control spatial variation in heterotrophic respiration and contamination from roots other than fine roots. The annual R r of all roots was 94 g C m - 2 yr - 1 and accounted for 25 % of total soil respiration on average. The annual R r was partitioned into fine root R g , fine root R m and coarse root R m by 30, 44 and 26 % , respectively; coarse root R g was presumed to be negligible. Fine root R g and R m varied according to the seasonal variations of fine root production and soil temperature, respectively; the contribution of fine root biomass was minor because of its small seasonality. The contribution of R g to total fine root respiration was lower in the cold season with low production.
Induced-seismicity geomechanics for controlled CO2 storage in the North Sea (IGCCS)

In this study (IGCCS), we evaluate the feasibility of micro-seismic (MS) monitoring of CO2 injection into storage candidates in the North Sea to ensure safe operations. MS monitoring relies on measuring seismic signals resulting from abrupt subsurface movements such as the (re)-activation of faults and fractures. To be successful, MS monitoring technique requires a broad quantitative characterization of the subsurface behavior concerning its geology, geomechanics, and seismicity. Hence, we performed advanced triaxial tests combining with acoustic emission (AE) acquisition, followed by advanced coupled flow-geomechanics simulations to understand micro-seismicity more quantitatively. The test results are then scaled up and applied to a synthetic field-scale seismic data study. We tested shale, mudstone, and sandstone cores under confining and pore fluid pressure, with loading conditions that are representative of potential CO2 storage sites in the North Sea. Our work focuses on quantifying the effects of injected fluid type and temperature on mechanical behaviour and associated MS response of subsurface sediments. The current manuscript covers only the main findings and insights obtained during IGCCS, and for more details, refers to relevant publications resulting from IGCCS.
Physical cues of partner quality

The dominant evolutionary theory of sexual attraction posits that attraction serves as a psychological mechanism for identifying healthy, fertile, and appropriate mates. According to this theory, humans and animals display cues that reflect their mate quality and are perceived as attractive by potential mates. There is evidence for such valid cues in human faces, bodies, and in non-bodily traits, which include adornments and items that signal provisioning ability, creativity, artistic skills, or conspicuous consumption. In this chapter, we discuss the evidence for the existence of these facial, bodily, and non-bodily cues, and for their role in communicating aspects of partner quality, including health, fertility, developmental stability, genetic quality, and potential for parental investment. We further discuss sex differences in the kinds of physical cues that men and women rely on in mate choice. We conclude by noting how central and evolutionarily important physical cues are even in contemporary sexual selection, and how the importance of physical cues of partner quality manifests in evolutionarily novel inventions such as physical self-enhancements, social media, and online dating.

In line with the growth of smartphone and internet penetration, there is a growing trend of cashless payment made via smartphone, or mobile payment system, especially among millennials in Malaysia. Despite its advantages which includes convenience, fast, and efficient among others – the adoption of the mobile payment system is still low. In this research, the usage intention of QR mobile payment system is observed through seven dimensions, namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived security, perceived compatibility, social influence, rewards, and personal innovativeness. 300 set of questionnaires was distributed among millennials as target respondents, and the data was analyzed using Pearson Correlation Analysis. The result showed that except social influence, all six other dimensions showed a significant and positive relationship with usage intention of QR mobile payment system.
Soil Nutrient Uptake and Balance as Influenced by Intercropping and Integrated Nutrient Management

Intercropping is the agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops at the same time and space, an old and commonly used cropping practice which aims to match efficiently crop demands to the available growth resources and labour. The most common advantage of intercropping is the production of greater yield on a given piece of land by making more efficient use of the available growth resources using a mixture of International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 10 Number 02 (2021) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas. com
Disentangling employment and wage rigidity

We use matched employer-employees data for Italy to study the joint response of wages and employment to firm-level shocks. We construct a simple dynamic general equilibrium model of labor demand and supply that allows us to identify separately firing (or internal) and mobility (or external) adjustment costs. We show that the two type of costs cannot be discriminated empirically by looking at labor or wage adjustment separately. Mobility costs have distinctive implications on wage response to firm-level employment changes but they can only be identified with worker-level information on wages. We find that both types of costs are present, but the internal component accounts for a large share of total adjustment costs. Our results are consistent with a labor market where workers are fairly mobile within locations but scarcely mobile across them

From Knowing by Name to Personalisation: Meaning of Identification Under the GDPR

• Despite its core role in the EU system of data protection, the meaning of identification remains unclear in the data protection law and scholarship with a spotlight focused on the legally relevant chance of identification, i.e. identifiability. • While Article 29 Working Party interpreted identification broadly, as distinguishing one in a group, this interpretation has been questioned in light of the EUCJ decision in Breyer. This paper tackles this uncertainty. • This paper offers an integrated socio-technical typology of identification where, in addition to the known identification types (look-up-, recognition-, session- and classification identification), personalisation is added as a new identification type, meaning a relatively unique characterisation where one is individualized by being mapped in relation to multiple dimensions within a multidimensional space. • The paper clarifies the legal meaning of identification under the GDPR. It proposes a contextual interpretation of Breyer, which negates Breyer’s restrictive potential and brings all identification types within the GDPR. • The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of this reading of identification for data protection in terms the applicability of the GDPR to new data technologies and practices such as facial detection and non-tracking based targeted advertising, effects of certain privacy preserving technologies such as federated learning of cohorts, consequences for invoking data protection rights when identification is not possible, but also in terms of the need to clearly define the objectives of the data protection law.
