Examining Homophily, Language Coordination, and Analytical Thinking in Web-Based Conversations About Vaccines on Reddit: Study Using Deep Neural Network Language Models and Computer-Assisted Conversational Analyses
Authors: Li Yue , Gee William , Jin Kun , Bond Robert
Published: December 2022

Background

Vaccine hesitancy has been deemed one of the top 10 threats to global health. Antivaccine information on social media is a major barrier to addressing vaccine hesitancy. Understanding how vaccine proponents and opponents interact with each other on social media may help address vaccine hesitancy.

Objective

We aimed to examine conversations between vaccine proponents and opponents on Reddit to understand whether homophily in web-based conversations impedes opinion exchange, whether people are able to accommodate their languages to each other in web-based conversations, and whether engaging with opposing viewpoints stimulates higher levels of analytical thinking.

Methods

We analyzed large-scale conversational text data about human vaccines on Reddit from 2016 to 2018. Using deep neural network language models and computer-assisted conversational analyses, we obtained each Redditor’s stance on vaccines, each post’s stance on vaccines, each Redditor’s language coordination score, and each post or comment’s analytical thinking score. We then performed chi-square tests, 2-tailed t tests, and multilevel modeling to test 3 questions of interest.

Results

The results show that both provaccine and antivaccine Redditors are more likely to selectively respond to Redditors who indicate similar views on vaccines (P<.001). When Redditors interact with others who hold opposing views on vaccines, both provaccine and antivaccine Redditors accommodate their language to out-group members (provaccine Redditors: P=.044; antivaccine Redditors: P=.047) and show no difference in analytical thinking compared with interacting with congruent views (P=.63), suggesting that Redditors do not engage in motivated reasoning. Antivaccine Redditors, on average, showed higher analytical thinking in their posts and comments than provaccine Redditors (P<.001).

Conclusions

This study shows that although vaccine proponents and opponents selectively communicate with their in-group members on Reddit, they accommodate their language and do not engage in motivated reasoning when communicating with out-group members. These findings may have implications for the design of provaccine campaigns on social media.
COVID-19 Vaccine–Related Information on the WeChat Public Platform: Topic Modeling and Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Wu Xiaoqian , Li Ziyu , Xu Lin , Li Pengfei , Liu Ming , Huang Cheng
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 vaccine is an effective tool in the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak. As the main channel of information dissemination in the context of the epidemic, social media influences public trust and acceptance of the vaccine. The rational application of health behavior theory is a guarantee of effective public health information dissemination. However, little is known about the application of health behavior theory in web-based COVID-19 vaccine messages, especially from Chinese social media posts.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to understand the main topics and communication characteristics of hot papers related to COVID-19 vaccine on the WeChat platform and assess the health behavior theory application with the aid of health belief model (HBM).

METHODS

A systematic search was conducted on the Chinese social media platform WeChat to identify COVID-19 vaccine–related papers. A coding scheme was established based on the HBM, and the sample was managed and coded using NVivo 12 (QSR International) to assess the application of health behavior theory. The main topics of the papers were extracted through the Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm. Finally, temporal analysis was used to explore trends in the evolution of themes and health belief structures in the papers.

RESULTS

A total of 757 papers were analyzed. Almost all (671/757, 89%) of the papers did not have an original logo. By topic modeling, 5 topics were identified, which were vaccine development and effectiveness (267/757, 35%), disease infection and protection (197/757, 26%), vaccine safety and adverse reactions (52/757, 7%), vaccine access (136/757, 18%), and vaccination science popularization (105/757, 14%). All papers identified at least one structure in the extended HBM, but only 29 papers included all of the structures. Descriptions of solutions to obstacles (585/757, 77%) and benefit (468/757, 62%) were the most emphasized components in all samples. Relatively few elements of susceptibility (208/757, 27%) and the least were descriptions of severity (135/757, 18%). Heat map visualization revealed the change in health belief structure before and after vaccine entry into the market.

CONCLUSIONS

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the structural expression of health beliefs in information related to the COVID-19 vaccine on the WeChat public platform based on an HBM. The study also identified topics and communication characteristics before and after the market entry of vaccines. Our findings can inform customized education and communication strategies to promote vaccination not only in this pandemic but also in future pandemics.

Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

An increase in miscarriage in the first to thirteenth week of gestation and its associated complication is burdensome to the health and quality of life of a woman. Intervention such as medical, surgical, and expectant care is carried out after the miscarriage to remove any remaining tissues in the uterus. Understanding the efficacy and safety of these interventions will raise awareness and be a deciding factor to choose an appropriate treatment plan.

OBJECTIVE

The review will aim to determine the efficacy and safety of medical, surgical, and expectant care of different medical and surgical methods for first-trimester miscarriage.

METHODS

This review will determine the influence of medical, surgical and expectant management procedure in spontaneous miscarriage women during their first trimester. Interventional studies that can be randomized (RCTs) or quasi-randomized or cluster-controlled trials or Cohort, cross-sectional, and case-controlled studies will be considered in which the outcome of interest is post-treatment side-effects. A search will be done in the following sources: PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and Embase for articles published in English. The reference list of articles will be reviewed for further inclusion of critical articles. Two independent reviewers will do study selection, data extraction, and quality analysis. Any disputes will be resolved by discussion.

RESULTS

The systematic review protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The review process should be completed by January 2023.

CONCLUSIONS

The review will determine the effect of medical, surgical, and expectant management procedures on women who have had spontaneous miscarriages in their first trimester. In this process, the feasibility of future research in this area of interest will also be defined.

Authors: Sinaga Alzeressy Putri Irnadya
Published: December 2022

Latar Belakang: Prevalensi masalah gigi mulut yang tinggi di Indonesia tidak diikuti dengan pemanfaatan layanan gigi mulut yang adekuat. Salah satu penyebab utamanya yaitu kurangnya tenaga medis gigi dan adanya disparitas terhadap distribusi tenaga medis gigi, yang juga menyebabkan ketidaksetaraan geografis dan sosial ekonomi dalam pemanfaatan layanan gigi mulut di Indonesia. Tujuan: Mengukur hubungan pemanfaatan layanan kesehatan gigi mulut dengan ketersediaan tenaga medis gigi serta mengkaji faktor-faktor lainnya yang berhubungan dengan ketidaksetaraan geografis dalam pemanfaatan layanan gigi mulut di Indonesia. Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional menggunakan Data Sampel BPJS Kesehatan 2017-2018 dan data rutin Kementerian Kesehatan tahun 2017. Dataset terdiri dari diagnosis primer dan klaim pelayanan kesehatan gigi rujukan tingkat Rumah Sakit yang mencakup 2.580 peserta BPJS Kesehatan. Faktor yang berhubungan dengan pemanfaatan pelayanan kesehatan gigi mulut berdasarkan jumlah diagnosis dan besaran klaim dianalisis menggunakan model regresi linear multivariat. Hasil: Terdapat disparitas yang signifikan dalam pemanfaatan layanan gigi mulut antardaerah di Indonesia. Ketersediaan dokter gigi (umum dan spesialis) memiliki korelasi positif dengan jumlah diagnosis dan klaim. Ketersediaan dokter gigi memiliki korelasi positif dengan jumlah diagnosis (0.30, 95% CI: 0.28-0.32) dan besaran penggantian biaya klaim (Rp 565.909, 95% CI: 89.425-1.042.385). Ketersediaan dokter gigi spesialis menunjukkan korelasi tertinggi terhadap jumlah diagnosis (0.54, 95% CI: 0.53-0.55) dan besaran penggantian biaya klaim (Rp 1.194.741, 95% CI: 662.468-1.727.014). Kesimpulan: Disparitas ketersediaan tenaga medis gigi dapat berkontribusi terhadap ketidaksetaraan pemanfaatan layanan gigi dan besaran penggantian biaya klaim yang dibayarkan oleh BPJS Kesehatan untuk pelayanan kesehatan gigi mulut antardaerah di Indonesia.

Reduction between Categorical Syllogisms Based on the Syllogism EIO-2
Authors: Li Hui
Published: December 2022

Syllogism reasoning is a common and important form of reasoning in human thinking from Aristotle onwards. To overcome the shortcomings of previous studies, this article makes full use of set theory and classical propositional logic, and deduces the remaining 23 valid syllogisms only on the basis of the syllogism EIO-2 from the perspective of mathematical structuralism, and then successfully establishes a concise formal axiom system for categorical syllogistic logic. More specifically, the article takes advantage of the trisection structure of categorical propositions such as Q(a, b), the transformation relations between an Aristotelian quantifier and its inner and outer negation, the symmetry of the two Aristotelian quantifier (that is, no and some), and some inference rules in classical propositional logic, and derives the remaining 23 valid syllogisms from the syllogism EIO-2, so as to realize the reduction between different valid categorical syllogisms.

Published: December 2022

The action evaluation of the Public Administration emphasizes the compromise with the appropriate management and results; therefore, it is necessary to get the instruments that evaluate it. In Mexico, the inclusion of the evaluating process has been differentiated in the local area since heterogeneity of the municipal governments, and the capacities of the institutions have caused as a consequence that at this level there are no specific instruments that help the evaluating processes, in this way information becomes learning. In the case of performance, indexes can contribute to strengthening decision-making, because they are based on the information gathered from these instruments, so the results of actions are related directly to the increase in the quality of people’s lives. The main objective of this article is to do a diagnostic evaluation of the public services of the 84 municipals of Hidalgo State. Consequently, in constructing the performance index, it was possible to identify through three sub-indexes the services with a greater supply. According to the literature checked, the reasons or motives that caused the public administrations to have better attention were explained through the identification of the generation of own resources, symbolic value, and the importance of taking care of the inhabitants’ health with the correct benefit.
Analysis of Steady State Availability of a Series– Parallel Repairable System with Hot Standbys, Three Units and Vacation
Authors: Bansal Sonam , Moses Dr. Sharon
Published: December 2022

Abstract: In this paper we analyze the steady state availability of a series-parallel repairable system. In this system, the first unit is master control unit and other two are slave units and one single repairman who operates single vacation. Under that assumption each unit has arbitrary repair time distribution & a constant failure rate. Also, it is noted that to calculate the availability of the system it is required to obtain the explicit expression and for obtaining steady-state probabilities it is necessary to use “the supplementary variable” method as well as “Markov process theory”.
Detection and Prevention of Worm hole Attack to Improve Traffic in VANET

Published: December 2022

Abstract: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) made up of spatially dispersed independent devices using sensors is vulnerable to many different types of threats and attacks due to a number of factors, including the unattended deployment in an untrusted environment, the limited network resources, the ease of network access, and the range of radio transmission. One of these weaknesses is the wormhole attack, in which a hacker sets up a low-latency link between sensor nodes in order to sabotage them, use up network resources, and steal sensitive information. This essay outlines the WSN wormhole attack and provides a critical assessment of the defences. Wireless sensor network defences against wormhole attacks and wormhole detection methods are contrasted and evaluated for their efficacy (WSN). Because there are unwanted attackers present, secure communication is absolutely necessary for the community. The bundle appears to be disintegrating, but most likely due to the attacker, according to the wormhole. If the intrusion is discovered in time, the perpetrator can be found and expelled from the network before any potentially dangerous actions are taken or data is corrupted. Similar to that, the suggested Worm hole serves as a deterrent and protects you. Information on entrance tactics that might be utilised to protect the access point can be found using the suggested device. The performance of the prior device, which is also the best and safest network to use, can be used to assess the correctness of the results. The packets connecting the nodes to the network can be used to calculate the agreement's cost
Public Participation in the Law-Making in the Digitalization Era
Authors: Wardana Dodi Jaya , Bachtiar Hasnan
Published: December 2022

Technology can play an important role and provide a useful tool for creating informed and active citizens, thereby contributing to democracy from the ground up. The shift from e-governance to e-democracy has become an important example of the capacity of technology to influence public law as a whole. There are at least four methods that can be used to participate in public participation in law-making, namely digitally: Interactive Applications, Legislative Crowdsourcing, and Utilizing Big Data. There are at least 2 (two) ways that the community can conventionally take to get involved in forming the law, namely active participation, and passive participation. Through active participation, the public takes the initiative to participate in the process of forming legislation products by attending general meetings, and public debates, as well as writing open letters in the mass media addressed to the apparatus in charge of discussing the Draft Law. Passive participation means that participation initiatives come from outside the community.
From RSFSR Land Code of 1922 to the theory of environmental law: Oleg Kolbasov’s scientific heritage
Authors: Krasnova Irina O.
Published: December 2022

Development of the contemporary ecological or environmental law roots in the far past of the Soviet law-making period; it goes on creatively borrowing legal concepts, legal mechanisms and methodology of legislative regulation. The Land Code of RSFSR adopted in 1922 has become the first act that played a historical role in the development of natural resources and ecological law. Such evolution was accompanied by theoretical legal research carried out by representatives of the Soviet legal science on nature protection. In the constellation of scholars, a remarkable place belongs to Oleg Kolbasov a famous and talented researcher and lawyer-ecologist. In his works he raises the issues that are still topical both in the legal science and the law-making activities; these are the issues concerning the name of the branch of law dealing with nature and man interrelations, its system and contents. He is also the author of highly demanded fundamental works on Soviet water resources law. The Article provides an analysis of the Land Code of 1922, and Kolbasov’s scientific views on the development of nature protection law in the context of Soviet land use, nature resources and environment protection legal acts.
CONCEPÇÕES DE ENSINO DE ESCRITA ACADÊMICA EM CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO NA UNIVERSIDADE DO VALE DO TAQUARI
Authors: Juchum Maristela , Keller Garine Andrea , Fuchs Juliana Thiesen , Prospero Daniela Fernanda
Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste estudo, resultado da pesquisa O ensino de escrita acadêmica em cursos de graduação na Universidade do Vale do Taquari, é identificar as concepções de ensino de escrita acadêmica contempladas em planos de ensino de disciplinas voltadas direta ou indiretamente para o ensino de gêneros acadêmicos dos cursos de graduação da Universidade do Vale do Taquari - Univates. Trata-se de um estudo de caso fundamentado nos Novos Estudos do Letramento (STREET, 2010), particularmente na abordagem dos Letramentos Acadêmicos (LEA; STREET, 1998). Seu corpus é constituído por dados documentais: planos de ensino das disciplinas referidas. Tais dados, explorados com base na categorização de textos acadêmicos identificada por Fischer e Dionísio (2011), mostram quatro formas de referência à escrita: ferramenta pedagógica, gênero científico, mista e não identificada. Os dados denotam que é exigida dos estudantes a escrita de diversos gêneros científicos ligados ao planejamento e à divulgação da pesquisa (projeto de pesquisa, monografia, artigo científico) predominantemente em disciplinas que ocorrem no final do curso, havendo poucas disciplinas ao longo do curso que parecem se propor ao ensino da escrita acadêmica. Embora os documentos analisados não explicitem de que forma efetivamente se dá o ensino da escrita desses gêneros no decorrer do curso, os achados da pesquisa indicam que a concepção de ensino de escrita que emerge parece se enquadrar mais no modelo da socialização acadêmica (LEA; STREET, 1998). Entendemos que todos os componentes curriculares que compõem um curso de graduação deveriam se caracterizar como um “lugar” de ensino da escrita.
ANÁLISIS DEL INCREMENTO DE FEMINICIDIOS EN LA CIUDAD DE BOGOTÁ ENTRE 2018-2020 EN EL MARCO DE CONVIVENCIA Y SEGURIDAD CIUDADANA
Authors: Fajardo Pascagaza Ernesto , Rodríguez Rojas Daniela Smith , Guerrero Nieto Gabriel Eduardo
Published: December 2022

La violencia extrema contra la mujer desencadena casos frecuentes de feminicidios en Bogotá, registrando un considerable aumento en los últimos años, lo que llevó a plantear como objetivo de esta investigación, el análisis del comportamiento de este fenómeno en un periodo de tiempo determinado (2018-2020), identificando el comportamiento, las principales causas, y las oportunidades de la institución para hacer frente a la problemática. Esta investigación tuvo un enfoque mixto a partir del análisis documental y la aplicación de instrumentos como entrevistas a expertos en el tema y el análisis estadístico apoyado en los sofware SPSS, Atlas-ti y MAXQDA. Los resultados dan a conocer que el comportamiento delictivo se relaciona con el espacio geográfico, las estructuras sociales, el delito y la influencia de la policía nacional como institución que vela por la convivencia y seguridad ciudadana. Se determinaron 04 patrones que incrementaron los feminicidios: normalización del delito, tipificación del delito, el confinamiento derivado de la pandemia y los factores sociodemográficos que caracterizan una población específica. La investigación permite concluir que Kennedy es la localidad más afectada de Bogotá, que la violencia intrafamiliar es la principal predecesora del feminicidio y que no existe un sistema de información unificado que permita el tratamiento y la trazabilidad de la información por parte de los actores comprometidos. Se sugiere incorporar un EMA (Equipo Movil de atención) liderado por personal en su mayoría femenino que monitoree a mujeres “en riesgo extremo de feminicidio” y lidere campañas de prevención en las dos UPZ con mayor afectación en casos de violencia intrafamiliar.
MEMES, TELENOVELA E MEDIAÇÕES: A PRODUÇÃO DE NOVOS SENTIDOS DA NARRATIVA FICCIONAL
Authors: De Oliveira Lucas Pires
Published: December 2022

A presente investigação explora os novos sentidos da telenovela e sua articulação com o melodrama (THOMASSEAU, 2005), a partir da lógica do memes, enquanto unidade de transmissão cultural (SHIFMAN, 2014). Como objeto empírico, elegemos a página de humor Paulina Apaolada, dedicada à telenovela mexicana A Usurpadora. Para uma orientação teórico-metodológica, apostamos na Teoria das Mediações (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 1997), propondo um exercício cartográfico a partir de três mediações e uma submediação. O estudo problematiza a dimensão do popular nas novas lógicas de produção e hibridização do melodrama, que, por meio de suas propriedades e dos novos fluxos das ambiências digitais, se reafirma, simbolicamente, enquanto matriz cultural.

Authors: Hoelterhoff Mark , OMAR Fuad ALHAJ , Mahmoud Ibrahim , Argyros Georgios
Published: December 2022

Background: Previous research on the electricity supply in Syria
identified a gap between production and users’ needs due to
infrastructure damage. The aim of this paper was to investigate the
social and psychological impact of electricity shortages on people’s
lives in north and northwest Syria. Methods: Head of households (N =
412, M age = 40, SD = 9.4) completed the short version of the Warwick
Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale and answered questions on the
available hours of electricity, and displacement. They were also
requested to complete, on behalf of their children (N = 716, M age = 10,
SD= 2.6), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Results: The
results indicated significant correlations between hours of available
electricity and well-being, and displacement with well-being. In
addition, children’s hyperactivity problems and prosocial behaviour were
also associated with the amount of available electricity. Conclusion:
Although this pilot study provides an understanding of the impact of
electricity shortage on psychosocial well-being, further research should
include more targeted studies in each of the areas identified.
Multimodal, Multianatomical and Multidimensional Medical Image Retrieval System
Authors: Jeyakumar Vijay , Kumar Gurucharan Marthi Krishna
Published: December 2022

Recently, there is a rapid use of digital imaging information in
healthcare enterprises. Hence, it becomes laborious to manage and query
in such large databases which need effi- cient medical image retrieval
systems. Also, the multi-modal and multi-dimensional aspects of medical
images make this a much more demanding task. The imaging data such as
the CT, and MRI from the scanners is in the form of 3D images which
consist of several slices stacked upon each other. While medical images
such as the X- rays are in the 2D format. This imbalance in the medical
image databases leads to de- velop an integrated 2D and 3D medical image
retrieval sys- tem using Deep Learning architectures. In this context,
an integrated framework with hybrid architectures consisting of
convolutional neural networks and autoencoder is proposed. A
heterogeneous database comprises of 2D and 3D images produced from
different sources of modalities to train the proposed networks is used.
The learned features are used to retrieve the medical images. Five
unsupervised CNN mod- els namely LeNetCoder, VGGCoder, Noisy VGGCoder,
LSTM VGGCoder, and ResCoder were trained and tested for both the 2D and
3D images. Finally, the performances of all the models are compared with
the metrics like Precision, Recall, and F-Score. Among them, ResCoder
has the highest mean average precision (MAP) of 0.96 for 2D and 0.92 for
3D im- ages in this framework.
HWOT-scaled Cascade fractional order hybrid controller applied to Renewable based EV generating systems
Authors: Roy Debadrita , Mondal Basudeb , Roy Provas , Dutta Susanta
Published: December 2022

In the upcoming epochs, conventional energy may deplete soon. Thus, the
use of conventional energy in the power industries need to be
supplemented by non-conventional energy resources. This would result in
loss of synchronisms in the power grids owing to the fact that solar and
wind alternate their attributes expeditiously with change in atmospheric
phenomenon. To ameliorate frequency deviation within a specific range
automatic generation control (AGC) implements forced allowance on system
operation. A three area thermal with photovoltaic (PV), electric vehicle
(EV), wind system is considered under deregulated environment to develop
and to judge the efficacy of newly developed cascade fractional order
hybrid controller combination of (FOTID & 3DOF-PID). Comparing the
aforementioned controller to other controllers such as the three degree
of freedom proportional-integral-derivative (3DOF-PID), the fractional
order tilt-integral-derivative (FOTID), and the
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) justifies the system’s
effectiveness. This assessment has been accomplished by a trendy
optimization technique such as hybrid whale optimization algorithm
(HWOT). However, the main intent of this write-up is to fabricate a
cascade fractional order (CC-FO) hybrid controller that would act as the
new control mechanism for the proposed system under deregulated
scenario. It has been found that the suggested CC-FO hybrid controller
stabilises the system ( i.e., Under step load disruptions,
frequency deviation and tie-line power become zero) in the shortest
amount of time possible. Additionally, it is seen that the recommended
controller can control a wide range of nominal loading circumstances and
system characteristics, demonstrating its robustness.

Pakistan struggles to eliminate poliomyelitis. There are some principal
tasks to deal with, including ending transmission in central reservoirs,
enduring pressure to exploit the quality of Supplemental Immunization
Activity [SIA], handling in critical Community Based Vaccination
[CBV] and mobile team areas, and covering high-risk mobile residents
to avoid additional spread. Due to the discovery and availability of
vaccinations, polio is currently considered almost eliminated. Positive
effects include continual reviews of communication, observation, and
control mechanisms, enhanced coordination between the Polio Eradication
Initiative [PEI] and the Expanded Program on Immunization [EPI],
and a stronger emphasis on strengthening relationships with other
service workers in high-risk regions. To eradicate polio, politicians,
community mobilizers, government, public health specialists, and
education departments must collaborate to better grasp the issue and
operate more effectively. The high-level political leadership and
promise detailing Pakistan’s response to COVID-19 is the best practical
strategy to achieve PEI’s fundamental goals.

We investigate the effect of extremely rough bathymetry on energy
dissipation and mixing in a coastal region characterized by small-scale
seafloor features penetrating a strongly-stratified density interface of
comparable vertical scale. Our data from the non-tidal Baltic Sea
include shear microstructure measurements and observations from a
broadband echosounder, here used to resolve the extreme variability and
intermittency of stratified turbulence in the vicinity of obstacles.
Scale analysis and acoustic imaging of small-scale turbulent motions
suggest that the underlying mixing mechanisms are related to topographic
wake eddies and, to a smaller extent, to breaking internal waves near
the bathymetric features. Vertical diffusivities exceed those at a
nearby reference station with smooth bathymetry by up to two orders of
magnitude. Our study emphasizes the importance of rough small-scale
(< 1 km) bathymetric features for energy dissipation and
vertical turbulent transport in coastal areas shaped by e.g., glacial,
tectonic, or volcanic processes.

Published: December 2022

This paper examines the feasibility of using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to develop an efficient and cost-effective way to determine and predict the condition of roads in the Asia and Pacific region. The paper notes that collecting information on road quality is difficult, particularly in harder to reach middle- and low-income areas, and explains why this method offers an alternative. It shows how the study’s preliminary algorithm was created using satellite imagery and existing road roughness data from the Philippines. It assesses the accuracy rate and finds it sufficient for the preliminary identification of poor to bad roads. It notes that additional enhancements are needed to increase its prediction accuracy and make it more robust.

Objectives

To perform an in vitro qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the enamel surface (by scanning electronic microscopy [SEM] and measuring polishing time and roughness analysis, respectively) among four methods to remove remaining orthodontic adhesive after bracket debonding.

Materials and Methods

Forty-one human premolars were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10) according to the adhesive remnant removal method and one tooth was used as control: Group 1 (G1): Enhance (Dentsply, Milford, USA); Group 2 (G2): Fiberglass (TDV, Pomerode, Brazil); Group 3 (G3): DU10CA-Ortho (Dian Fong Industrial, Shenzhen, China); Group 4 (G4): Sof-Lex Pop-On (3M ESPE, Seefeld, Germany). Roughness was measured before bonding and after complete removal of the remaining adhesive (Ra2). SEM analysis was performed on one sample of each group after adhesive removal and polishing. The time required for adhesive remnant removal and polishing was measured in all groups. Analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc for pairwise comparison was applied to compare polishing times among groups and analysis of covariance was used to compare Ra2 means.

Results

Comparison between groups show that G4 presented the lowest Ra2 mean (0.43 μm)c followed by G3 (0.71 μm)ac, G1 (1.06 μm)ab, and G2 (1.21 μm)b - different letters, statistically different at P ≤ 0.05. In addition, Fiberglass was more time-consuming for adhesive remnant removal than other methods (P ≤ .05). SEM analysis showed that some enamel damage occurred for all methods.

Conclusions

All methods were able to remove the remaining adhesive and polish the enamel. The DU10CA-Ortho and Sof-Lex methods promoted better polishing of the enamel surface and exhibited a similar time-consuming process.

La goma del muyuyo (Cordia lutea) representa una buena oportunidad para reemplazar estabilizantes de síntesis química que son muy utilizados y traen consecuencias a futuro. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de la presente investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la goma del muyuyo (Cordia lutea) como agente estabilizante y en la vida útil del néctar de naranja (Citrus X sinensis). Se aplicó un diseño experimental completamente al azar, de cuatro tratamientos con tres repeticiones que consto de tres concentraciones más un control (T0 – 0 % T1- 2 %, T2 – 4 % y T3 – 6 %). En cada una de las formulaciones elaboradas se realizó una evaluación sensorial. Las variables evaluadas fueron dulzor, acidez y apariencia general, para ello se empleó una escala hedónica. Los datos fueron procesados en el programa estadístico InfoStat, aplicando la estadística no paramétrica y prueba de Kruskall Wallis al 0,05 % de significancia. En la prueba de turbidez se obtuvo un valor de 1506,66 NTU (Unidad de Turbidez Nefelométrica), en el tratamiento 1 y 2 1085,33 NTU. En el análisis físico químico se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: un pH de 3,37; 12,65 ° Brix y una acidez titulable de 0,39. Se evaluó el comportamiento microbiológico, en el que T2 dio como adecuado por estar dentro de la norma NTE 2 337:2008. Se estableció que las variables dulzor, acidez y apariencia general estaban dentro del rango permitido. Es necesario considerar que el T2 (4 % muyuyo) es el tratamiento que mejor se comporta frente al T0 (control). En lo que corresponde al análisis de viscosidad se obtuvo un rango de 5,23 Pa.s que se encuentra dentro del rango establecido. Por lo cual, se instaura que la goma del muyuyo posee propiedades estabilizantes y nutricionales que lo hacen un insumo alimenticio natural prometedor.
In Becoming. Instability of Psychedelic Substances
Authors: Sadowska Zuzanna
Published: December 2022

Psychoactive substances are subject to law control, imposed through the system of medical prescription or legal prohibition, with legal penalties for their unauthorized use. The consumption of drugs in a non-medical contexts is often labelled as "drug abuse", and the substance used in this way as a “narcotic” - the term endowed with illegality (Goodman et al. 2017). While legal, medical and popular discourses attempt to establish the distinction between what is an illicit drug and what is a medicine by creating the presumptive ontologies of drugs, this way of approaching substances has become the object of critique within drug research  associated with the ‘ontological turn’. Scholars in this field of study have destabilised the assumption of a fixed, ready-made, singular drug objects, postulating thinking about substance use as a mutable system of relations intertwined in the broader assemblages and ecologies of drug use.

In this article, by using ethnographic examples and through the analysis of research conducted within the so called “psychedelic turn” movement, I demonstrate the fluidity and multiplicity of psychoactive substances and examine diverse ways in which the dominant – Euro-American – drug categorizations are undermined. I pose the question of how the border between what is an “illicit drug” and what is a “medicine” is stabilized and destabilized through the embodied users’ practices and scientific discourses.
Beekeepers' beecomings and the agency of a bee
Authors: Galiński Juliusz
Published: December 2022

The limits of non-human agency are still a highly disputed topic in humanities and social sciences. This paper is a case study of the relationship between Polish beekeepers and bees, based on data collected during two and a half years of participant observation and conducting ethnographic interviews. I suggest that bees have an immense amount of agency in their contact with humans. Bees shape people in their image in the process of beecoming, thus influencing the way they think, speak and behave. Moreover, bees have a great deal of autonomy when it comes to the inner architecture and politics of the hive. A significant means of manifesting bees’ agency is a sting. Stinging is a direct message to a human, a way of signalling the bees' needs and feelings. Surprisingly, in this relationship between insects and humans, the insect has the upper hand.
