Published: October 2024

The study investigates the properties of 6YSZ – Al2O3 – HfO2 powder mixture and the resulting ceramics obtained by semi-dry pressing followed by sintering in vacuum. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry revealed the primary constituents as zirconium (81%), aluminum (8.7%), yttrium (5.7%), and hafnium (3.5%). The average particle diameter was 0.5 μm, with specific surface area and bulk weight recorded at 18,535 cm2/g and 0.84 g/cm3, respectively. X-ray phase analysis indicated a predominance of monoclinic zirconium dioxide. Sintering at 1400-1600°C transformed the phase composition, enhancing density and microhardness, with values peaking at 5.8 g/cm3 and 12.1 GPa at 1600°C. This process also increased the tetragonal phase content to 63%. The ceramics exhibited the highest crack resistance at 1600°C, attributed to the stabilized tetragonal zirconium dioxide. Microstructural analysis confirmed the homogenous distribution of the elements and the presence of fine fractions influencing microstructural properties. 1600°C was found to be the optimal temperature for sintering the 6YSZ – Al2O3 – HfO2 ceramics.

Authors: Yeboah Anne Marie , Dalton Kristine , Irving Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the current prescribing and assessment practices of optometrists in Canada seeing patients with persistent concussion-associated vision deficits.
Methods
A 6-question electronic survey was distributed to provincial and national boards of optometry in Canada. Questions pertaining to vision assessment, prescribing habits, daily living advice, appointment duration and follow-up appointment(s) were included. Practicing optometrists in Canada who have or have not managed concussion patients were eligible to complete the survey. Analysis consisted of categorizing and analyzing the frequency of responses provided.
Results
A total of 199 responses were received of which there were 142 completed responses (including 1 blank response). Of these, 13 optometrists indicated that they did not manage concussion.
Of the 128 optometrists who indicated that they managed concussion 98% did a full eye exam. Visual acuity was assessed 96% of the time. Other frequent assessments were dry refraction 91%, pupil dilation 80%, and full binocular vision assessments 78%.
Most respondents, 116, indicated that they provided advice on daily living activity and the most frequent advice was to limit activity, 64% (74/116).
Responses were offered by 121 optometrists on appointment duration. Most frequently optometrists stated concussion appointments lasted between 30-60 minutes (69/121). Responses on follow-up were given by 119 optometrists and the most frequent follow-up was 1-2 months (27/119).
Conclusion
The results from this study provide insight on how optometrists in private practice are managing vision deficits following concussion. Further research on treatment effectiveness is required to develop an optometric protocol for the management of vision in patients with persistent concussion symptoms.

E-cigarettes, once touted as a safer alternative to traditional cigarettes for adult smokers, have rapidly gained popularity among a younger demographic - children and adolescents. The allure of sleek designs, enticing flavors, and perceived social acceptance has made these electronic devices like a snake in the grass, silently creeping into the hands of youth across the globe. However, this burgeoning trend comes with a host of concerning implications, from the potential health risks associated with vaping at a young age to the insidious marketing tactics employed to target this vulnerable population.
Factors Influencing Tobacco Use in Chinese Teenagers
Authors: Zhao Shengnan
Published: October 2024

The Report on Chinese Adolescent Tobacco Use 2023 announces a year-on-year decline in the prevalence of smoking in Chinese teenagers. Nevertheless, the hazards of tobacco products to the physical and mental health of this population remain a concerning issue. This study is an encapsulation of factors influencing the smoking behavior of Chinese adolescents based on a review of relevant literature. Personal characteristics such as gender, age, psychological traits, lifestyle, and perceptions of tobacco use, along with environmental factors like the family environment, circle of friends, and school climate, can all potentially influence a teenager's smoking behavior. A thorough examination of these factors can provide implications for advancing the regulation of teenager tobacco use and improving the work on adolescent health protection.

Authors: Wu Shanshan
Published: October 2024

The tobacco epidemic is a global public health concern as the toxic substances in tobacco pose a severe threat to human health. In response to this issue, countries around the world have adopted various strategies to control tobacco use. The Chinese government began to pay attention to the health hazards of smoking in the 1970s and joined the international community in tobacco control endeavors by becoming a signatory of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in the early 21st century. It has further intensified its tobacco control measures in recent years with its “Healthy China” strategy. This article gives an overview of tobacco control policies released by the Chinese government over the years, with a separate analysis of the provisions on smoking control stipulated in the Health China Action Plan (2019-2030). Also discussed are the outcomes of those policies and the challenges China faces in tobacco control, as well as the lessons China can learn from international experiences in this regard.

Choes y anthesteria: Nuevos ejemplares en la Península Ibérica
Authors: Roldán Gómez Lourdes
Published: October 2024

Entre las importaciones de cerámica griega a la Península Ibérica cobra especial importancia el hallazgo de los tres choes de Figuras Rojas con representaciones infantiles de la necrópolis ibérica de Hoya Gonzalo (Albacete). Dentro de la muy abundante producción de enócoes áticos, son muy escasas las exportaciones de este tipo, no sólo en la Península Ibérica, donde es conocido únicamente uno procedente de Ullastret, sino también en otros países mediterráneos, incluyendo la propia Italia. Se trata de pequeñas jarras relacionadas con los festivales de Anthesteria y cuyas representaciones ilustran juegos y diversas actividades de los niños. También tuvieron un uso funerario tal y como indican los frecuentes hallazgos en enterramientos infantiles. La presencia de estas piezas excepcionales en un contexto funerario del interior de la Península Ibérica plantea, de nuevo, la debatida cuestión de la utilidad y significado de las importaciones cerámicas griegas y de su posible llegada como elemento de un comercio secundario.

Published: October 2024

The permeability of the mud cake formed at the formation-wellbore interface is an important factor in the designing of water-based drilling fluids. This study presents a novel approach to utilizing experimental thixotropic and rheological parameters of polymeric water-based drilling fluids having varying concentrations of SiO2 nanoparticles and KCl salt. A fully connected feed-forward multi-layered neural network, more commonly known as a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was developed to predict the mud cake permeability using input parameters such as SiO2 & KCl concentration, differential pressure, temperature, mud cake thickness, API LPLT and HPHT filter loss volume and spurt loss volume. The results suggested that the developed Multilayer Perceptron model effectively determined the mud cake permeability based on the input parameters of the WBDF mentioned above. The model converged on the global minima, minimizing the loss function using the Gradient descent algorithm. A higher Coefficient of Determination (R2) value i.e., 0.8781, and a lesser Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value i.e., 0.04378 indicates the higher accuracy of the model. Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation obtained via the heatmap indicates that mud cake permeability is strongly influenced by the differential pressure followed by filter loss volume, spurt loss volume, mud cake thickness, and temperature. Previous similar studies have focused on using machine learning algorithms, this study utilized a robust deep learning algorithm i.e., Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network to simultaneously model the combined effects of SiO2 nanoparticles and KCl salt concentrations on mud cake permeability, offering an unprecedented level of accuracy in predicting key WBDF performance parameters

Published: October 2024

La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) es importante el marco ético para solucionar problemas de la sociedad actual además de que se ha vuelto una obligación que las organizaciones tienen que cumplir, debido a que las actividades que realizan pueden impactar de forma positiva, o negativa en los diferentes actores de las mismas. Así mismo ayuda a las empresas a concientizarse de sus acciones y actividades empresariales con un medioambiente sano para la sociedad, a ser responsables en términos sociales, evitando violar derechos, contaminación ambiental, desigualdad entre otros. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la responsabilidad social de las empresas Vinte y Kimberly-Clark, la forma en que se alinean sus prácticas de RSE a los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS), y su efecto en la sociedad mexicana; estas prácticas se realizan para solucionar problemas que la comunidad en general busca resolver como son pobreza, hambre, educación, energía renovable, salud, paz y justicia, igualdad de género, agua potable y saneamiento entre otros. Se utilizó una metodología de tipo cualitativo con diseño no experimental descriptivo a través de la observación y revisión de diferentes recursos bibliográficos orientados a búsqueda de información pertinente sobre el tema. Se concluye que la investigación es relevante para entender como estas empresas han logrado contribuir con sus acciones y políticas de RSE a los ODS en términos económicos, ambientales y sociales, siendo la RSE un instrumento para la protección de derechos como el medioambiente seguro y equilibrado, llegando a ser más que una práctica ética empresaria.

Authors: Charisi Eliana , Tsioka Katerina , Karampatakis Theodoros , Kachrimanidou Melina
Published: October 2024

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is one of the most significant causes of diarrhea in hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and epidemiology of CDI after the COVID-19 pandemic in hospitalized patients in a rehabilitation center in Thessaloniki, Greece. Α retrospective observational cohort study was performed in inpatients diagnosed with diarrhea of all ages (January 2023 - December 2023) who were initially screened for CDI. From the total cohort of patients with proven CDI, some patients were randomly selected based on their monthly isolation incidence throughout the study period, to investigate their epidemiological data and clinical characteristics. Laboratory diagnosis of CDI was performed by enzyme immunoassay, followed by specific anaerobic culture and molecular testing for detection of toxigenic C. difficile. The isolated C. difficile strains were further characterized by PCR ribotyping. The annual incidence of CDI during the study period was 27.1% (130/480). The linear trend of CDI incidence decreased from 32.5% to 18.2% (P = 0.024). The all-cause mortality rate was 5.0% (3/60). A positive correlation was observed between the length of hospital stay and the number of recurrences (r = 0.546, P < 0.001), while 28 patients (46.7%) experienced recurrence of the infection. Seven different PCR ribotypes were identified in this study. C. difficile tcdA+, tcdB+, cdtA+, cdtB+ PCR ribotype 181 (RT181) was the predominant (76.6%, 46/60), followed by toxin A-negative PCR RT017 (11.6%, 7/60). The annual incidence of CDI decreased after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study demonstrates predominance of C. difficile RT181 with tcdA+, tcdB+, cdtA+, cdtB+ toxin gene profile after COVID-19 pandemic in Northern Greece.

Published: October 2024

La adolescencia es una etapa de cambios que pueden afectar a la salud mental si no se gestionan adecuadamente. Desarrollar habilidades de inteligencia emocional ayuda a experimentar mayor bienestar y menos síntomas emocionales. Resulta de especial interés el papel que juega el clima en el aula para fomentar estos recursos en el contexto escolar. La presente investigación examina la asociación entre la inteligencia emocional, la sintomatología emocional y el bienestar subjetivo, considerando el rol mediador del clima escolar. Participaron 356 adolescentes entre los 12 y 16 años (M= 13,52; 58% mujeres) que contestaron los siguientes instrumentos de auto-informe: Trait-Meta-Mood-Scale (TMMS), Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS), Cuestionario para Evaluar Clima Social del Centro Escolar (CECSCE), Escala de Experiencias Positivas y Negativas (SPANE), Escala de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés para Jóvenes (DASS-Y). Los resultados mostraron que niveles elevados de inteligencia emocional, unidos a un clima escolar favorable, tienen un impacto positivo en el bienestar subjetivo e influyen negativamente en los síntomas de depresión, ansiedad y estrés. Por ello, estos resultados aportan datos relevantes para el diseño de programas que promueven el bienestar emocional en adolescentes.

Mal, esperanza y beatitud. La cuestión del mal desde una perspectiva soteriológica
Authors: Cordovilla-Pérez Ángel
Published: October 2024

La palabra propia de la teología ante la cuestión del mal no es ni la ponerología, ni la teodicea, sino la soteriología. El mal adquiere su verdadero significado en una profunda teología de la salvación que integra en ella la doctrina de la creación, la cristología y la escatología. Por esta razón, la teología cristiana trata de comprender el mal en el horizonte de la historia de salvación que tiene su origen en el proyecto del Padre, su realización por medio del Hijo y su perfeccionamiento gracias a la acción del Espíritu. La fe y la teología cristianas afrontan la realidad del mal desde la esperanza que nos da la resurrección de Cristo, mientras caminamos por la fuerza y acción del Espíritu que nos conduce hasta la beatitud definitiva.
El cristocentrismo de Joseph Ratzinger
Authors: O'Callaghan Paul
Published: October 2024

El estudio considera cómo Joseph Ratzinger plantea toda la teología en modo cristocéntrico. Su cristocentrismo no se opone al teocentrismo, porque cuando el creyente contempla a Jesucristo en sus obras y actos y actitudes, encuentra –ve– no sólo la humanidad concreta, material e histórica de Jesús, sino su verdadera identidad como Hijo de Dios en el Espíritu. Aprende a leer el misterio de Dios en lo histórico de Jesús. El estudio presenta una serie de momentos de la vida de Jesús sacadas principalmente de la obra de Ratzinger Jesús de Nazaret (2007-2013): los milagros, el reino de Dios, la oración de Jesús, el Sermón de la Montaña y la conversión, el Bautismo de Jesús y sus tentaciones.

Religia jako lekarstwo? Julii Kristevej spojrzenie na wartość religii chrześcijańskiej
Authors: Duk Andrzej
Published: October 2024

Wśród humanistów reprezentujących szeroko pojęty nurt postmodernistyczny można dostrzec postawę uznania względem fenomenu religii. Do grona pozytywnie nastawionych do religii autorów postracjonalnych należy Julia Kristeva, francusko-bułgarska psychoanalityczka, filozofka i literaturoznawczyni. Jej nieskrywany szacunek do treści, które niesie religia chrześcijańska, wzbudza niekiedy zachwyt także wśród wierzących. Rodzi się nawet obustronne oczekiwanie, że pod wpływem jej prac pojawić się może przestrzeń do budowy nowego świata, wolnego od wszelkich barier i niezrozumienia, a nawet nadzieja na odnowienie chrześcijaństwa. Niestety, po głębszej analizie myśli francuskiej humanistki trudno jest podzielać podobne oczekiwanie. Jej idealistyczna i redukcjonistyczna filozofia nie jest w stanie oddać w pełni chrześcijańskiego przesłania, co oznacza, iż dialog w szerszym wymiarze staje pod znakiem zapytania. W artykule omówiono podstawy jej psychoanalitycznej myśli, jak również dokonano analizy niektórych terminów interpretowanych przez nią, zaczerpniętych z religii chrześcijańskiej. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, iż Kristeva nie wychodzi poza ramy psychoanalizy, co powoduje, że stosowane przez nią pojęcia pozornie tylko odpowiadają terminom chrześcijańskim. Dla niej religia jest niczym więcej, jak tylko pewną formą lekarstwa w określonych sytuacjach, co bez wątpienia deprecjonuje chrześcijańskie orędzie.

Authors:   Jagiellonian University, Koba Laura
Published: October 2024

The changes that have taken place in Poland since 1989 reveal real problems whose solution depends on civic awareness, i.e. on understanding what a democratic legal state is and what role human rights play in it. Given the threats posed by various populisms, also the manipulation of the concepts of: nation, homeland, citizen, patriot, common good, etc., society may not notice how the normative state is turning into a prerogative state. An important role is played by knowledge and understanding of the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997, not only by lawyers, but by the whole of society and, perhaps above all, by the various levels of power, both legislative, executive and judicial. This also applies to local authorities, economic and social entities. Universal civic education and the everyday practice of democracy and human rights are essential. Over the past thirty-five years, there has been a slow change in the mentality of Poles, especially among the younger generation. People born in European Poland support a civil state in which human rights are respected. Paradoxically, the last eight years of PiS rule have contributed to an awareness of the role of law, including human rights, and a willingness to learn about the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. It is also important that the language of a democratic rule of law is back on track.

Security is an interdisciplinary concept that is important for the existence and development of individual people and entire societies. Many events can cause them anxiety, and this undoubtedly includes a terrorist act, which is inherently evil. Terrorism develops along with the development of civilization, which forces individual countries to constantly improve and modernize the methods of combating this threat. Although, according to research, Polish society is not afraid of terrorist attacks, in the current political situation it should be assumed that Poland may be the target of such attacks. State authorities have created an anti-terrorist system to ensure citizen safety. In which an important role in anti-theorist and counter-terrorist activities was assigned to the Police.

According to Wilhelm von Humboldt, the founder of the philosophy of language, the formation of objects and concepts in our minds, as well as everything we receive from the outside, is achieved through language. Our understanding of the world is possible through the use of culture and language. That is, if there were no language, there would be no intelligence. Because of the culture and intelligence, we acquire through language, each person exists as a reflection of the prevailing worldview. Each stage of cultural development is connected and comprehended through language. Language is not a tool for describing the known, but a tool for discovering the unknown. The true power of language lies in its constructiveness.

Since the 1960s, African states have passed through different conflicts with reasons such as politics, ethnic, religious, and resource-based conflicts such as border or land disputes, and several other causes. The Northern Senatorial zone of Plateau State, Nigeria has witnessed several violent conflicts between 2001 and 2023 with several scholars assessing the immediate causes and its impact without looking at the remote causes. This study examines the history of conflicts in the Northern Plateau Senatorial zone and its persistent nature with its root causes. The study adopted history research method, which comprised primary and secondary sources. Data was obtained by the researcher from oral interviews in the Jos metropolis and across Plateau North. Also, books and Journals from the University of Jos and the National Library Jos branch provided quality data. The conflict in the Northern Plateau comprising five out of the six local council areas evolved from instances of clashes and skirmishes as a result of spontaneous ethnic and religious provocations and reactions to planned attacks between Christians and Muslins in Jos North and South starting from 2001, guerilla-style reprisals, cattle rustling, herder/farmer clashes across Bassa, Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs. The study found out that the root cause of conflicts in the Northern Plateau was the British colonial policies of the 1900s, which led to the massive influx of immigrants that settled permanently in Jos North and South, Barkin Ladi, Riyom and Bassa LGAs. The study discovers that the conflict in Northern Plateau has led to pervasive insecurity of lives and property, as evidenced by the spate of cattle rustling, armed robbery attacks, assassinations, and ethnic and religious feuds coupled with the seeming helplessness of security agencies to handle criminal attacks on civilian populations in Riyom, Barkin Ladi and Bassa LGAs. The study recommends that security can be secure if freedom and justice are allowed to reign through arresting perpetrators and punishing them severely, allowing freedom of economic, political and social participation for all citizens of Plateau State without ethnic or religious discrimination.
Butler e a capacidade de agência dos sujeitos políticos: o debate com Fraser e as influências de Foucault e Derrida
Authors: Blanco Daniela Cunha
Published: October 2024

Resumo: O artigo pretende apresentar a principal crítica de Nancy Fraser ao pensamento de Judith Butler, em torno da questão da capacidade de agência dos sujeitos políticos, tomando partido na defesa do pensamento de Butler. Argumenta-se que Fraser falha na compreensão de como Butler concebe uma ideia de poder, a partir de Michel Foucault, cujo funcionamento próprio demanda uma outra compreensão, não apenas do que seja um sujeito, como, também, do que podemos denominar ação política. Mostrando, assim, como Butler constrói uma teoria de gênero com base no conceito de performatividade e das influências de Foucault e de Derrida, defende-se que a autora concebe uma ideia de interseccionalidade radical, em função da qual o poder se torna difuso e positivo e a agência política se compreende no interior das falhas e fissuras operadas pelo próprio funcionamento do poder.

Abstract Cognitive social structure maps the social relationships perceived by actors. This study characterizes the social network pattern of a high school classroom and verifies the perceived ties and the accuracy of social relationships reported by 23 students. Analyses of the cognitive social structure aggregations verified the density of these relationships. Most participants show vulnerabilities and conglomerate analysis of network structural data shows different perceptions of density and modularity. Our results differ from the limited literature in the area regarding higher accuracy in subjects with a lower centrality degree and intermediation.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Several impression techniques and theories have been developed for implant-retained overdentures, each with its own set of advantages and limitations. This study aimed to assess the chewing efficiency of mandibular implant-retained overdentures fabricated using three distinct impression techniques (mucofunctional, selective, and minimal pressure impression techniques). Twenty-six patients with complete edentulism free from any oral or systemic disease were selected to participate in the study. Three complete mandibular implant-retained overdentures were constructed for each patient, and grouped into three groups according to the impression technique employed in overdenture construction; Group A: Patients were treated by mandibular implant-retained overdenture fabricated using mucofunctional impression technique; Group B: Patients were treated by mandibular implant-retained overdenture fabricated using selective pressure impression technique; Group C: Patients were treated by mandibular implant-retained overdenture fabricated using minimal pressure impression technique. Chewing efficiency was evaluated for each patient with the implant-retained mandibular overdenture after three months of prosthesis insertion as an adaptation period. The data were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed. Results indicated that mandibular implant-retained overdentures made using the mucofunctional impression technique showed higher mean values of chewing efficiency parameters than mandibular overdentures made using selective and minimal pressure impression techniques. Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the mucofunctional impression technique may be effective in improving the chewing efficiency of mandibular implant-retained overdentures more than minimal or selective pressure impression techniques.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the color of positioning guides on the CIEL*a*b* color coordinates of ceramic, resin composite and bovine tooth surfaces measured by a clinical spectrophotometer. Positioning guides (n=10) in different colors (translucent, purple, yellow, green and, blue) were made for each surface (ceramic, resin composite and bovine tooth). The CIEL*a*b* color coordinates were measured with the positioning guides and with no positioning guide (control group). The ΔL*, Δa*, Δb*, ΔE*ab, and ΔE00 were calculated between the control group and the different groups. The CIEL*a*b* color coordinates were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by the post-hoc Tukey test (α=0.05). Color differences were interpreted using the 50:50% perceptibility and acceptability visual thresholds. Positioning guides with different colors presented significant differences for all surfaces and color coordinates. ΔE*ab, and ΔE00 mean values for all surfaces and positioning guide colors exceeded the acceptability visual thresholds, except for the bovine tooth surface measured with the green positioning guide. The shade measurement was affected by the color of the positioning guides regardless of the surface that was evaluated.

ABSTRACT: Studies on the improvement of hops (Humulus lupulus) in Brazil are recent and seek to establish self-sufficiency in production. Knowledge of the variability of genotypes available in the country is of fundamental importance for the development of a hop improvement program. The objective of the research was to characterize and identify hop parents with agronomic and brewing potential for the Planalto Catarinense region, Brazil. The randomized block design arranged in a 3x4 factorial scheme was used with 12 treatments: (Factor 1: three years of cultivation (2019, 2020 and 2021) and combined with factor: four genotypes (Cascade, Chinook, Columbus and Hallertau). The characters evaluated were fresh mass of plants (MFP, g), green mass of cones (MTV, g), dry mass of cones (MSC, g), alpha-acid content (ALFA, %) and production (PROD, g per plant). The Hallertauer genotype showed better performance and differentiated behavior for the characters of fresh mass of plants, dry mass of cones and production, when compared to the others. Thus, from these results it was observed that there is variation available for the genetic improvement of hops for these characters, a factor that will allow obtaining productive gains in the development of new cultivars, based on this promising genotype.

Abstract Patients with peripheral artery disease and generalized atherosclerosis are at high risk of cardiovascular and limb complications, affecting both quality of life and longevity. Lower limb atherosclerotic disease is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and adequate management is founded on treatments involving patient-dependent factors, such as lifestyle changes, and physician-dependent factors, such as clinical treatment, endovascular treatment, or conventional surgery. Medical management of peripheral artery disease is multifaceted, and its most important elements are reduction of cholesterol level, antithrombotic therapy, control of arterial blood pressure, control of diabetes, and smoking cessation. Adhesion to this regime can reduce complications related to the limbs, such as chronic limb-threatening ischemia, that can result in amputation, and the systemic complications of atherosclerosis, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.
