Authors: Dhokar Amol , Aranha Venetia , Bodhare Aishwarya , Desai Vanshita , Bhatnagar Sunanda , Bhanushali Nikhil
Published: December 2022

Background:

CBCT, the modern 3D imaging equipment, eases the intricacies of dental diagnosis.

Aims:

Our study aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitudes regarding Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) among dentists in Maharashtra.

Subjects and Methods:

A cross-sectional study design was conducted by administering an online questionnaire consisting of 17 questions to the dentists of Maharashtra. The online survey was distributed through Google forms shared on different social media platforms, emails and websites. SPSS version 17 software and Chi-square test was employed.

Results:

About 91.2% MDS were aware of the use of CBCT for dentomaxillofacial region. Approximately 77.7% general practitioners use digital imaging modality. 70.6% BDS refer patients for CBCT in their daily practice. Greater number of BDS (88.5%) than MDS (79.4%) are satisfied with the use of CBCT. Dentists with more than 10 years of practice (60%) agreed higher on utilization of CBCT in the future for selected dental applications than those with less than 10 years of practice (37.4%). A statistically significant difference with P <0.05 was revealed.

Conclusion:

Fostering cognizance and positive attitudes among dentists towards CBCT, would tremendously boost the present-day dental diagnosis. Its promotion through optimal hands-on sessions, workshops would aid in its efficient application.

Authors: Atima Mayor Orezime , Pam Douglas Jah
Published: December 2022

Background:

The treatment of ocular pterygium overtime has been subjected to the development and application of various new strategies towards simpler, quicker, and more comfortable surgical procedures that have foster the development suture-less technique with conjunctival autograft to reduce recurrent rate.

Aims:

To evaluate the long-term follow-up of recurrent rate and immediate complication in primary pterygium excision with Inferior Limbal Conjunctival Autograft (ILCA) a 5 years follow-up in a Tertiary Ophthalmic Centre.

Materials and Methods:

The medical record of 68 patients (80 eyes) who underwent pterygium excision and free ILCA for primary nasal pterygium who completed the 5 years follow-up were retrospectively reviewed for recurrence and immediate postoperative complication, of these 59 patients met the criteria.

Result:

In this study, 59 patients (71 eyes) completed the 5 years follow-up that account for 86.8%, 9 patients defaulted accounting for 13.2%. Two (3.4%) out of the 59 patients had recurrence, one male at 3 months and a female at 2 months that were 21 and 40 years old, respectively. The early complication that was seen in this study was mild conjunctival hyperemia secondary to suture irritation.

Conclusions:

After a long follow-up period for ILCA for primary pterygium surgery, the success of conjunctival autograft was high with little or no complication seen, this may be related to a significant learning curve or differing surgical techniques for this procedure. The greatest risk factors for recurrence were young age and type of pterygium.
Prevalence of Depression and Associated Factors among Secondary School Teachers in Medina Region, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Qahtani Faisal Saeed Safar
Published: December 2022

Background:

Depression is one of the most common psychiatric conditions seen in primary health care clinics. On the other hand, teaching is one of the most stressful jobs.

Objective:

The aim was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of depression among secondary school teachers in the Medina region.

Subjects and Methods:

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a representative sample of secondary school teachers of both genders in the Medina region. A multistage cluster sample technique was implemented to recruit the participants. The data were collected using a self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) depression questionnaire.

Results:

The study included 297 teachers. More than half of them (54.2%) were males and the vast majority (97.6%) were Saudis. Major depression, based on PHQ-9 depression questionnaire was reported among 8.4% of the participants, whereas minor depression was reported among 14.1% of them. Among the studied habitual factors, the smoking of Shisha and nonpracticing of physical exercise were significantly associated with depression among teachers. Regarding obstetric and gynecological factors, female teachers with a history of postnatal depression were more likely to have major and minor depression features than those without such history.

Conclusion:

Depression is a common health problem among secondary school teachers in Medina region affecting almost one quarter of them. Familial instability, shisha smoking, physical inactivity, heavy teaching load, and deficiency of educational competencies are strongly correlated with depression. Further studies are needed to explore the extent of the problem among teachers at different levels of teaching across the kingdom.
Seropositivity of COVID-19 Asymptomatic Nurses Using Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid Antibodies
Authors: Alshehri Ahmad A. , Hakami Abdulrahim R.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in symptomatic and asymptomatic cases provides helpful insight about its clinical implications.

Aims and Objectives:

The aim of this study is to determine anti-nucleocapsid IgG antibodies in nurses, qualitatively, both in asymptomatic and symptomatic nurses, and to determine the rate of asymptomatic cases. Second, to compare antibody reactivity from asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects.

Materials and Methods:

Samples were collected from four hospitals in the Southern Region, Najran, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from Epitope Diagnostic, Inc were used to measure the level of anti-nucleocapsid (anti-NC) antibodies in nurses.

Results:

One hundred twelve samples tested positive for antibodies (70%). Other variables were assessed, including age, gender, ABO blood group, and nationality. A significant difference was found between asymptomatic nurses vs. those with negative antibodies (*P = 0.0147), suggesting they could have transmitted SARS-CoV-2 unknowingly. Forty-one nurses (25.6%) were symptomatic, while 99 nurses were asymptomatic (61.8%).

Conclusion:

In this study, 112 nurses (70%) tested positive for the anti-NC antibodies, 41 (25.6%) were symptomatic, 99 (61.8%) were asymptomatic, and 48 (30%) were anti-NC antibody negative. Future work should focus on the association of respiratory disease with the concentration of antibodies, and if antibodies wane rapidly after COVID-19 infection.

Authors: Prachi G. Parab , Pangarikar Anunay Bhaskarrao , Devarathnamma M. V. , Asapalli Shivanand , Guttiganur Nagappa , Devanoorkar Archana
Published: December 2022

Context:

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have widely been demonstrated in inflamed periodontal tissues and oral fluids. MMP3 is one of the MMPs which is effective in the degradation of numerous extracellular matrix substrates. It also participates in the proteolytic activation cascades of latent pro-MMP1, -8, and -9 which mediate collagenosis.

Aims:

This study aimed to estimate the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) MMP3 levels in chronic periodontitis before and after scaling and root planing (SRP).

Settings and Design:

A total of 60 subjects aged 25–55 years are randomly selected from the outpatient department of periodontology of our institute and categorized into two groups of 30 each; Group I - periodontally healthy and Group II - generalized chronic periodontitis.

Subjects and Methods:

Clinical parameters such as plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, and clinical attachment loss were recorded in both groups. GCF was collected only once in Group I but twice in Group II. After the baseline records, Group II received SRP treatment followed by re-recording of clinical parameters and GCF sample collection 6 weeks posttreatment. GCF samples were analyzed for MMP3 molecule by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Data were analyzed by Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Results:

All the clinical parameters showed improvements after the treatment procedure (P < 0.05). Baseline GCF MMP3 values in the test group were significantly higher than in controls (P < 0.05), and all the parameters decreased significantly after treatment (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the correlation between individual clinical parameters and biochemical parameter was positive but statistically insignificant (P > 0.01).

Conclusions:

Within the confines of this study, GCF MMP3 was increased in Group II subjects, suggesting its role in chronic periodontitis and the possibility of it being used as an early diagnostic biomarker.
Comparison of dentofacial findings in sickle cell anemia patients and controls among a tribal population in Kerala – A cross-sectional study
Authors: Karunakaran Anila , Sivaprasad K. K. , Kumar P. Ranjith , Philipose Leena
Published: December 2022

Aim:

(1) To diagnose by clinical inspection the dental and craniofacial skeletal anomalies in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients of the particular tribal population. (2) To compare the clinical findings with normal controls of the same population.

Materials and Methods:

A study sample of 52 SCA patients and a control sample of 52 non-SCA patients, both belonging to the tribal communities of the area, were selected by nonrandom purposive sampling from the patients attending the Public Health Centre and Dental Outpatient Department of the Government Tribal Hospital of that region. Permission was duly taken through proper channels from the competent authorities. The study design was a comparative cross-sectional study using nonrandom purposive sampling. The study sample consisted of confirmed SCA patients above 18 years of age of both sexes and belonging to any tribe of the region.

Results:

Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for quantitative variables. Frontal bossing, numb chin syndrome, diastemata, and ischemic pulp involvement were absent in both the study and control groups. Intraoral findings such as the inclination of incisors, overjet, and overbite were tabulated and analyzed statistically.

Conclusion:

The data obtained were proposed to be used to formulate a plan for 17 prevention and treatment of the anomalies through timely intervention. Furthermore, the patients need 18 to be made aware of the relationship between these pathologies and SCA. Of the ten features that 19 were examined, only retroclination of incisors showed a significant difference from the control 20 groups. This could be attributed to the lip pressure on the maxilla. However, it did not affect 21 esthetics or function, and therefore, no intervention was required.
Development of Monoclonal Antibody Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Takeda Masatoshi
Published: December 2022

Background:

In a previous review article in the Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry (Takeda and Tagami: Taiwanese J. Psychiatry 2020; 34: 152-61), we gave the development status of drugs for Alzheimer's disease, presented a relatively pessimistic view, and highlighted the difficulties in their development.

Methods:

Since I have witnessed some encouraging development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics against Alzheimer's disease, I have decided to contribute this article. I reviewed new data from published journals and from internal reports of pharmaceutical companies. I have also offered some explanations and comments.

Results:

In 2021, I saw promising clinical trial results reporting the use of aducanumab, a monoclonal antibody treatment against amyloid β protein, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a decision for expedited approval of aducanumab. But the results of aducanumab's phase III clinical trials were considered by some to be insufficient for the approval, and the FDA's decision was controversial. The European and Japanese regulatory authorities did not approve aducanumab. In September 2022, however, more promising results were announced from Phase III clinical trials of another monoclonal antibody, lecanemab.

Conclusion:

In this review, I have recounted the state of the arts of drugs for treating dementia and highlighted remarkable recent progress in the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.
On square-free numbers generated from given sets of primes
Authors: Roman G.
Published: December 2022

Let $x$ be a positive real number, and $\mathcal{P} \subset [2,\lambda(x)]$
be a set of primes, where $\lambda(x) \in o(x^{1/2})$ is a monotone increasing
function. We examine $Q_{\mathcal{P}}(x)$ for different sets $\mathcal{P}$,
where $Q_{\mathcal{P}}(x)$ is the element count of the set containing those
positive square-free integers, which are smaller than-, or equal to $x$, and
which are only divisible by the elements of $\mathcal{P}$.
On the inversion number of oriented graphs
Authors: Bang-Jensen Jørgen , da Silva Jonas Costa Ferreira , Havet Frédéric
Published: December 2022

Let $D$ be an oriented graph. The inversion of a set $X$ of vertices in $D$
consists in reversing the direction of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The
inversion number of $D$, denoted by ${\rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of
inversions needed to make $D$ acyclic. Denoting by $\tau(D)$, $\tau' (D)$, and
$\nu(D)$ the cycle transversal number, the cycle arc-transversal number and the
cycle packing number of $D$ respectively, one shows that ${\rm inv}(D) \leq
\tau' (D)$, ${\rm inv}(D) \leq 2\tau(D)$ and there exists a function $g$ such
that ${\rm inv}(D)\leq g(\nu(D))$. We conjecture that for any two oriented
graphs $L$ and $R$, ${\rm inv}(L\rightarrow R) ={\rm inv}(L) +{\rm inv}(R)$
where $L\rightarrow R$ is the dijoin of $L$ and $R$. This would imply that the
first two inequalities are tight. We prove this conjecture when ${\rm
inv}(L)\leq 1$ and ${\rm inv}(R)\leq 2$ and when ${\rm inv}(L) ={\rm inv}(R)=2$
and $L$ and $R$ are strongly connected. We also show that the function $g$ of
the third inequality satisfies $g(1)\leq 4$.
We then consider the complexity of deciding whether ${\rm inv}(D)\leq k$ for
a given oriented graph $D$. We show that it is NP-complete for $k=1$, which
together with the above conjecture would imply that it is NP-complete for every
$k$. This contrasts with a result of Belkhechine et al. which states that
deciding whether ${\rm inv}(T)\leq k$ for a given tournament $T$ is
polynomial-time solvable.
The behavior of essential dimension under specialization
Authors: Reichstein Zinovy , Scavia Federico
Published: December 2022

Let $A$ be a discrete valuation ring with generic point $\eta$ and closed point $s$. We show that in a family of torsors over $\operatorname{Spec}(A)$, the essential dimension of the torsor above $s$ is less than or equal to the essential dimension of the torsor above $\eta$. We give two applications of this result, one in mixed characteristic, the other in equal characteristic.
Coalgebraic Geometric Logic: Basic Theory
Authors: Bezhanishvili Nick , de Groot Jim , Venema Yde
Published: December 2022

Using the theory of coalgebra, we introduce a uniform framework for adding
modalities to the language of propositional geometric logic. Models for this
logic are based on coalgebras for an endofunctor on some full subcategory of
the category of topological spaces and continuous functions. We investigate
derivation systems, soundness and completeness for such geometric modal logics,
and we specify a method of lifting an endofunctor on Set, accompanied by a
collection of predicate liftings, to an endofunctor on the category of
topological spaces, again accompanied by a collection of (open) predicate
liftings. Furthermore, we compare the notions of modal equivalence, behavioural
equivalence and bisimulation on the resulting class of models, and we provide a
final object for the corresponding category.
Algebraic coherent confluence and higher globular Kleene algebras
Authors: Calk Cameron , Goubault Eric , Malbos Philippe , Struth Georg
Published: December 2022

We extend the formalisation of confluence results in Kleene algebras to a
formalisation of coherent confluence proofs. For this, we introduce the
structure of higher globular Kleene algebra, a higher-dimensional
generalisation of modal and concurrent Kleene algebra. We calculate a coherent
Church-Rosser theorem and a coherent Newman's lemma in higher Kleene algebras
by equational reasoning. We instantiate these results in the context of higher
rewriting systems modelled by polygraphs.

Species richness of Antbirds (Thamnophilidae) in more central and peripheral sites of terra firme forest in the eastern edge of the Amazonia
Authors: Martínez Carlos
Published: December 2022

Antbirds (Thamnophilidae) comprise many insectivorous, mostly understory birds present in all Neotropical biomas. Many species occur specifically in the Amazonia, so a decline in species richness is expected from central Amazonian sites, to peripheral ones; this pattern is due primarily to the evolutionary history of the taxon. Rapid surveys to state the antbird species richness were performed in six sites of terra firme forest in the Belém Center of Endemism, the Easternmost and one of the most threatened regions in the Amazonia. These sites followed a series from more central to more peripheral areas, the latter being located in the edge of the Amazonia. The antbird species richness of every site was stated by presence-absence criteria. Two surveys were made in each site, by walking three transects in each of two trails in every survey. This species richness progressively fell from 19 species in the most central site (Gurupi Biological Reserve) to only two in the most peripheral one (São Luís). Probably, the gradient in the species richness is primarily associated to the evolutionary history of this group, however new studies using methods appropriated to assess the effects of environmental degradation in the regional richness of Thamnophilidae and other forest bird species should be encouraged.
Nepal’s Family Planning Program has Come a Long Way: A Conversation with Dr. Badri Raj Pande
Authors: Thapa Shyam
Published: December 2022

It has been nearly six decades since Nepal introduced a family planning program.1,2 At present, the average number of children that a woman in Nepal has is just two, which is defined as a ‘replacement level’ of fertility (that is, two offspring to replace the couple themselves).3 In contrast, about fifty-years ago (in the mid-1970s), the average was more than six children for a married woman in Nepal.4,5 This change in reproductive behavior (certainly influenced by attitudes towards smaller family size) should be considered a ‘reproductive revolution’ in an essentially patriarchal and patrilocal society like Nepal – a transition several other countries have experienced in recent decades as well.6,7 This reproductive revolution is driven principally by the adaption of modern methods of contraception. In 1966, Nepal became one of only a handful of countries where family planning was officially adopted as a ‘fundamental human right and a policy tool in long-range national planning’.1 Sterilization (mainly female sterilization) has been the principal method of fertility control.8,9 At present, more than 50% of married women in Nepal use some form of contraception.8 By all measures, the country’s family planning program must be considered a success. In more recent years however, other factors including abortion and rising age of marriage, as well as male-selected out-migration, have also contributed to the further decline in fertility.10-14

Published: December 2022

When manufacturing machine parts using additive 3D technologies, we are faced with the task of choosing a specific manufacturing technology, material, and settings for 3D printing. These factors affect the manufacturing time, cost, accuracy, strength and other performance criteria of machine parts. The purpose of the study is thus to develop recommendations for optimizing models of machine parts for 3D printing. The study describes the main approaches to optimizing three-dimensional models of machine parts at the design stage. This optimization allows to avoid a number of problems that arise when using various 3D technologies: FDM (fused deposition modeling), SLA (laser stereolithography), etc. Depending on the type of the designed part and the applied additive 3D technology, additional requirements and restrictions are imposed on the models. The issues of optimizing models in terms of 3D printing time, manufacturing cost, geometry (accuracy) of the resulting model are considered, and the issues of the strength of the entire part or its individual elements are also partially investigated. Specific design solutions and recommendations for manufacturing rotation parts, in particular, shafts and gears, are given. The issues of occurrence of some defects associated with overheating, uneven cooling and plastic shrinkage are considered. The simplest models for studying strength of critical parts are described. Recommendations for determining the properties of machine parts manufactured using additive 3D technologies are developed. This study will be of interest primarily to the developers of 3D models and is aimed at eliminating some of the problems that arise during 3D printing at the product design stage.

Bengkel Seroja Motor is a workshop as well as a shop located in Kotaraja Village, Sikur District, East Lombok Regency. Currently, the increasing number of employees who come from different educational backgrounds makes the diversity of employees also increasingly complex, making it difficult to choose the best employees. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a Decision Support System as an alternative solution, so as to increase efficiency and ef- fectiveness in the selection and improve quality in determining the best employees. The decision support system for determining the best employees uses the SAW (simple additive weighting) method based on predetermined criteria and weights. The criteria used as indicators are absenteeism, discipline, work attitude, responsibility, and per- formance. The SAW (simple additive weighting) method was chosen because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of alternatives. This research was conducted by looking for the weights on each attribute, then ranking to determine the best employees.

In this study using the Waterfall methodology, which is a software development method that begins with ana- lyzing company needs, designing, building applications, to conducting trials. The results of this study are in the form of a decision support application, which can recommend the best employees at the Seroja Motor Workshop.

Published: December 2022

Identity, including civic identity, has its own characteristics in each country. The content, constituent components, indicators of civil identity have different significance in ensuring the integrity of society. Therefore, the state should take into account its internal historical, political, socio-economic situation in the formation of civil identity of its society. The use of the model of civil identity, developed in the community of one state, in the unification of society of another state does not give its effectiveness, efficiency. The article shows the influence of the economic factor on the level of civil identity. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of the results of nationwide sociological surveys, methodologically grounded in different years, and the main indicators of economic growth in the state for the years when this study was conducted, was conducted. Currently, there is a growing opinion that the economic situation in the country has a significant impact on the citizens' civic identity. A clear link in it is expressed in the fact that the deterioration of the economic situation coincides with a decrease in the level of civic identity. The state of national economy plays an important role in influencing civic identity. That is, in science the deterioration of the economic situation slows down the formation of civic identity and does not form citizenship. Difficult economic conditions have a negative impact on civic identity. Therefore, the migratory intention of citizenship is formed in the country. In order to prevent this issue in the first place there is a need to correct the economic situation in the country. After all, without economic, material situation citizens do not have a sense of citizenship.

The purpose of the article is to study the problems of competitiveness of the regional economy. In modern market conditions regions compete with each other for attraction of investment resources (public, private or foreign), together with all sources of resources, as well as markets for their implementation, attracting taxpayers. At the same time, regions are independent subjects of the national and international markets. In this connection, the issue of ensuring competitiveness of the regions of Kazakhstan today is very relevant to us. One of the main goals of the Government of Kazakhstan is to ensure sustainable growth of the country's economy through diversification of its production base and implementation of the National Strategy for Territorial Development. Nevertheless, the prerequisites for regional competitiveness are laid at the national level. Sustainable development of regions is possible only in the presence of favorable conditions in the country, such as a macroeconomic environment conducive to growth, employment, stability, taxation and regulatory systems that stimulate business development and job creation. Provided the macroeconomic environment is properly controlled, microeconomic reforms aimed at overcoming market failures that hinder the country's competitiveness can only be effective at the regional and local level. In fact, most of the country's comparative advantages are determined by the specifics of its regions, and an effective national competitiveness strategy requires that the specifics (both opportunities and weaknesses) of the regions be taken into account. It is important to remember that the competitive development of a region is a multidimensional and multifaceted process.
