Authors:   RANEPA, Sakharov Andrey , Dorokhina Ksenia ,   RANEPA
Published: May 2023

This article discusses the results of the study on the formation of the BRICS Sustainable Development Index. The authors describe the methodology of the index, the indicator selection process, and methodological problems and challenges, and also provide a detailed analysis of the dynamics of sustainable development goal (SDG) indicators for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in 2015–20. The results of the study indicate both the overall progress of the BRICS countries toward SDG implementation and the presence of negative trends in a number of areas and for some countries. For 53 of the 64 indicators selected for the analysis, positive trends were recorded, on average, across BRICS. Nevertheless, the index identified several negative trends across a number of issue areas for individual states and for the group as a whole. These trends include: an increase in the average prevalence of malnutrition, an increase in the number of people in need of treatment for tropical diseases, increasing pressure on water ecosystems in the BRICS countries amid a decrease in their area, a decrease in the share of research and development expenditures of gross national product (GDP), and a decline in biodiversity indicators.

In-solution Digestion of ECM-Enriched Proteins Samples for Mass Spectrometry Analysis v1
Authors: not provided jconsi
Published: May 2023

The pellet obtained after the decellularization procedure and removal of SDS is highly enriched in insoluble ECM proteins. For further analysis by mass spectrometry, these proteins need to be digested into peptides. Note that, as a consequence of ECM protein insolubility, it is not possible at this step to measure the protein concentration of the sample. We thus provide volumes of reagents to digest the ECM-enriched samples into peptides based on the size (mm) or dry weight of the ECM-enriched pellet (Table 1).

The government of Malaysia has implemented various measures to reduce disposal of daily solid waste to landfills including recycling. Based on the issue, the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia took the initiative to organise “Program Masjid Lestari” targeting to enhance recycling practices among the community. The objectives of this study are to identify factors that influence the behaviour of recycling practices in the community and to assess the effectiveness of the awareness programme, “Program Masjid Lestari”. “Program Masjid Lestari” focused on recycling practices among Bandar Baru Bangi and Semenyih residents took place in 2015, 2016 and 2017. The study applies survey instrument and also weight of recyclable items collected during the program. The questionnaires were distributed to the residents who had attended the event at Section 3 and Section 4, Bandar Baru Bangi and also Bandar Rinching, Semenyih. The survey data was analysed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Based on the findings, the total recyclable items collected during the program were 800 kg in 2016 and 878 kg in 2017 for Bandar Rinching, Semenyih. Most of the respondents have good knowledge, awareness and attitude towards recycling. However, the involvement of community in recycling practices is still low due to lack of facilities, time and cost constraints. In general, awareness campaigns are able to increase community involvement to recycle. A good advertising and promotion, appropriate time, location and improvement of facilities are the important factors to ensure a successful awareness program that could make an impact on the recycling practice.

Background. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the 2nd most common oncological disease among men in the world. The first structured program of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) was started in the year 2000. In the medical literature, a limited number of studies on long-term oncological treatment outcomes for patients with PCa after RARP is presented. In Russia, the Da Vinci robot was first installed in 2007. In the Urology Clinic of the A.I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry, the program of robot-assisted surgery was started in November of 2008.

Aim. To perform first in Russia evaluation of 10-year oncological treatment outcomes for patients with localized PCa after RARP. To perform comparative analysis with the outcomes of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP).

Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of medical histories of 211 patients was performed. Among them, 62 patients did not satisfy the inclusion criteria. The remaining 149 patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st - RARP (n = 82), 2nd - RRP (n = 67). All RARP were performed by the same surgeon, RRP by 2 experienced surgeons.

Results. Median follow-up was 110.35 ± 24.58 and 115.19 ± 15.37 months in the 1st and 2nd group, respectively; median follow-up was 120 months in both groups (p >0.05). Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meyer approach. Ten-year biochemical recurrence (BCR)-free survival was 79.3 and 82.1 %, clinical recurrence-free survival was 96.3 and 97.1 %, metastasis-free survival was 92.7 and 94.0 %, cancer-specific survival was 93.9 and 95.6 % and overall survival was 85.4 and 86.6 % in the 1st and 2nd group, respectively. Mean time to BCR was 17.00 ± 20.67 and 22.83 ± 26.51 months, respectively ( p >0.05). Calculation of BCR predictors was performed using correlation analysis based on contingency test and Cramer's V-test. In the 1st group, body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 (p = 0.01), prostate-specific antigen level >10 ng/mL (p = 0.04), high progression risk per the D'Amico classification (p = 0.01) were independent preoperative predictors of BCR. Gleason score 7 (4 + 3) (p = 0.04) and ≥8 (p <0.0001) per pathomorphological examination, pT3 stage, extraprostatic extension, invasion into the seminal vesicles and positive surgical margin (all p <0.0001) were independent postoperative predictors of BCR.

Conclusion. RARP demonstrates long-term (10-year) oncological effectiveness comparable to oncological effectiveness of RRP in patients with localized PCa.

Authors: Ersa Ghina Rizqina , Soedjono Eddy Setiadi , Slamet Agus , Nurhayati Ervin
Published: May 2023

AbstractPhosphate scarcity will occur if humans do not currently manage the phosphates available in nature with good management. Phosphorus rocks are a natural source of phosphates, whose availability in nature is dwindling due to the large demand for phosphates in the world, especially in agriculture. It is necessary to launch a renewal that involves the recovery of phosphates from fecal sludge. Fecal sludge contains a lot of nutrients that have accumulated from the food we eat. Due to the lack of sewage system distribution in Indonesia, phosphate recovery uses septic tank sludge that has been transported to the Fecal Sludge Treatment Plant. This is one of the potential resources. The purpose of this study was to see the potential (presence) of phosphates in domestic wastewater in Surabaya City, Indonesia. This research was carried out by accidental sampling and the measurement of total phosphate using a spectrophotometer, according to the APHA Method 45001-P standard. The initial characteristics of the sample consisted of liquid phases and solids that were brownish-black and smelly. The phosphate levels in fecal sludge are between 110.42 mg/L and 4572.64 mg/L, with an average value of 1016.77 mg/L. AbstrakKelangkaan fosfat terjadi jika manusia saat ini tidak mengelola fosfat yang tersedia di alam dengan baik. Batuan fosfor adalah sumber fosfat alami, yang ketersediaannya di alam berkurang akibat besarnya permintaan fosfat di dunia, terutama di bidang pertanian. Sehingga diperlukan suatu inovasi baru yang melibatkan recovery fosfat dari lumpur tinja. Lumpur tinja mengandung banyak nutrisi yang terakumulasi dari makanan yang dikonsumsinya. Selain itu, dengan rendahnya sistem pengelolaan air limbah di Indonesia, recovery fosfat dapt dilakukan menggunakan lumpur tinja dari tangki septik yang telah diangkut ke Instalasi Pengolahan Lumpur Tinja (IPLT). Hal ini merupakan salah satu sumber daya yang potensial. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur potensi (keberadaan) fosfat dalam air limbah domestik di Kota Surabaya, Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pengambilan sampel secara accidental sampling dan pengukuran total fosfat menggunakan spektrofotometer, sesuai standar APHA Metode 45001-P. Karakteristik awal sampel terdiri dari fase cair dan padatan yang berwarna hitam kecoklatan dan berbau. Konsentrasi fosfat dalam lumpur tinja berkisar antara 110,42 mg/L dan 4572,64 mg/L, dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 1016,77 mg/L.
Morphology and DNA marker for distinguishing Paphiopedilum hangianum and Paphiopedilum emersonii from Vietnam
Authors: Thi Hai Yen Nguyen , Xuan Quang Ngo , Dinh Trong Nguyen , Tien Phat Do , Hoang Mau Chu
Published: May 2023

Genus Paphiopedilum has species having lovely flowers which are incredibly attractive to everyone. Their ornamental and commercial value caused over-collection and illegal poaching and trade. Due to these reasons, nowadays, the Venus slipper orchids are facing to deplete in nature. Therefore, it is important to consider these species conservation. Mainly, it is necessary to prioritize the identification and phylogenetic analysis methods of the genus Paphiopedilum which includes many species with similar morphological characteristics. Consequently, it isn't easy to distinguish the identical species of this genus when the plants are young or not yet fully flowering. Therefore, this study aimed to distinguish two Paphiopedilum species, i.e. P. hangianum and P. emersonii, which have similar morphological characteristics, through comparative morphological analysis and differences in DNA barcoding sequences. To solve the problem associated with species identifications, a morphological comparison table was created with the four DNA sequence markers matK, rbcL, rpoC1 and trnH-psbA. The results of the morphological analysis showed that P. hangianum and P. emersonii are significantly different from each other in the flower's characteristics. While the difference in leaf morphology of both selected species is found very little, it is also distinguishable upon careful comparison. Moreover, the DNA barcoding indicator gave accurate and rapid distinctions between the two species, even when     the plants are young or without flowers. Furthermore, this DNA barcoding can establish an evolutionary relationship between the two selected species and the other species of the genus Paphiopedilum. The results of this study also suggested that the indicator trnH-psbA is a suitable marker for distinguishing these two species and can be applied for the phylogenetic analysis of the genus Paphiopedilum in Vietnam.

Published: May 2023

Acoustic cell assembly devices are applied in cell spheroid fabrication attributed to their rapid, label-free and low-cell damage production of size-uniform spheroids. However, the spheroids yield and production efficiency are still insufficient to meet the requirements of several biomedical applications, especially those that require large quantities of cell spheroids, such as high-throughput screening, macro-scale tissue fabrication, and tissue repair. Here, we developed a novel 3D acoustic cell assembly device combined with a gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA) hydrogels for the high-throughput fabrication of cell spheroids. The acoustic device employs three orthogonal piezoelectric transducers that can generate three orthogonal standing bulk acoustic waves to create a 3D dot-array (25 × 25 × 22) of levitated acoustic nodes, enabling large-scale fabrication of cell aggregates (>13,000 per operation). The GelMA hydrogel serves as a supporting scaffold to preserve the structure of cell aggregates after the withdrawal of acoustic fields. As a result, mostly cell aggregates (>90%) mature into spheroids maintaining good cell viability. We further applied these acoustically assembled spheroids to drug testing to explore their potency in drug response. In conclusion, this 3D acoustic cell assembly device may pave the way for the scale-up fabrication of cell spheroids or even organoids, to enable flexible application in various biomedical applications, such as high-throughput screening, disease modeling, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.
A computational model of cell viability and proliferation of extrusion-based 3D-bioprinted constructs during tissue maturation process
Authors: Gironi Patrizia , Petraro Ludovico , Santoni Silvia , Dedé Luca , Colosimo Bianca Maria
Published: May 2023

3D bioprinting is a novel promising solution for living tissue fabrication, with several potential advantages in many different applicative sectors. However, the implementation of complex vascular networks remains as one of the limiting factors for the production of complex tissues and for bioprinting scale-up. In this work, a physics-based computational model is presented to describe nutrients diffusion and consumption phenomena in bioprinted constructs. The model—a system of partial differential equations that is approximated by means of the finite element method— allows for the description of cell viability and proliferation, and it can be easily adapted to different cell types, densities, biomaterials, and 3D-printed geometries, thus allowing a preassessment of cell viability within the bioprinted construct. The experimental validation is performed on bioprinted specimens to assess the ability of the model to predict changes in cell viability. The proposed model constitutes a proof of concept of digital twinning of biofabricated constructs that can be suitably included in the basic toolkit for tissue bioprinting.

Introduction: Determining the body composition and somatotype in sport talents provides a useful reference to improve the trajectory toward high-level competition. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the body composition and somatotype by discipline of children and adolescents of both genders in the sport talent development program at the Regional Training Center. Material and method: Seventy-two subjects participated (29 females, 15.9 ± 2.0 years; 43 males, 15.9 ± 2.3 years) from the disciplines of athletics, cycling, judo, karate, and table tennis. a) Baseline measurements: weight, height, and body mass index (BMI); b) Body masses by fractioning into five components (in %): muscle, fat, bone, residual and skin, using Kerr’s method and c) Somatotype, according to the model proposed by Heath and Carter were performed. Results: Females have a higher percentage of fat mass than males. Exactly the opposite occurs with muscle mass, where males present a higher percentage than females, with the exception of table tennis. Regarding residual mass, males present higher values in all the disciplines. The males were classified as endo-mesomorphs, except for those in athletics, who were classified as ecto-mesomorphs, while the females from athletics and table tennis were classified as central, those from cycling and judo as endomorph–mesomorphs, and those from karate as meso-endomorphs. Conclusion: Through a two-dimensional contrast of the somatotype of CER athletes and that of adult athletes at the High Performance Center in Chile, it was determined that both groups are different, indicating that CER athletes do not yet meet the structural requirements necessary for a trajectory to high-level competition, suggesting that training modifications be considered to get closer to the ideal somatotype.

Published: May 2023

A novel inclined sidewall box-type solar cooker is constructed, and its performance is evalu-ated. The Opto-geometrical design of the cooker was designed for Surat, a city in India. The design is modified by optimizing the inclination angles of the sidewalls so that an optimal thermal response may be generated by reflecting sun rays from the sidewalls, and the perfor-mance of the solar cooker is enhanced. The optimized sidewall angles due south, due north, due east, and due west are designed to be 67.30, 22.690, 35.440, and 35.440, respectively and side walls are made reflective with reflecting Aluminium sheets. The results are compared with a conventional cooker. The thermal performance of the newly built solar cooker was evaluated, and the merit F1 for no-load circumstances and the merit F2 for various loading conditions were determined. The results show that the maximum plate temperature, the figure of merit F1, and the maximum pot temperature of the newly developed solar cooker with optimally reflecting sidewalls during load test are higher than that of a conventional cooker. The max-imum plate temperature is found to be 760C and 650C in newly designed and conventional solar cookers, respectively. The temperatures are found to be about 16% more from 11:30 pm to 2:00 pm in the newly designed cooker compared to the conventional cooker. The maximum value of Figure of merit F1 is found to be 0.15 and 0.11 in newly designed and conventional solar cookers. The maximum value of Figure of merit F2 is found to be 0.59 and 0.30 in newly designed and conventional solar cookers. The maximum value of pot temperature is found to be 860C and 600C for newly designed and conventional solar cookers, respectively, during the load test, which is about 43% more in the newly designed cooker than the conventional cooker. The highest cooking temperature in the newly designed cooker was maintained at 90 0C for about 2 hours, and that in the conventional cooker was maintained at 60 0C for about 2 hours. In addition, the cooking test demonstrates that the food is thoroughly cooked in the newly built solar cooker, while it was discovered undercooked in the conventional cookerC thickness, respectively without heat recovery. The operating conditions and optimized geo-metric factors, based on result analysis and comparison, are discussed in detail.
Management of war wounds - Review
Authors: Chittoria Ravi Kumar , Singh Bharath Kumar
Published: May 2023

The breakthroughs in surgical knowledge and its applications have always taken place in war zones. The major combat that had place over the past ten years was Operation Iraqi Freedom. The military has created more sophisticated weapons, telecommunications systems, vehicles, and protective head and body gear over the past 30 years. The bulk of the world's wars have also been fought on the ground, which has led to the majority of combatants being hurt by bullets, missiles, and explosives. The soldier's chest, abdomen, and neck are now protected, in contrast to prior conflicts, and their limbs are now relatively more susceptible to the lethal effects of these weapons of war. In the past, many of these young people would have died from these wounds. But since the early 1970s, medical science has significantly advanced, and today we are saving the lives of warriors who have lost limbs. Reconstructing the injured tissues is currently the difficult task. We will talk about current developments in the treatment of war-related injuries in this review paper.
Функционально заданные модели для аддитивного производства
Authors: Вяткин С.И. , Долговесов Б.С.
Published: May 2023

Аддитивное производство определяется рядом технологий, с помощью которых можно преобразовывать данные виртуальной твердотельной модели в физические модели. Данные разбиваются на серию двумерных поперечных сечений конечной толщины. Эти поперечные сечения поступают в машины, где комбинируются, добавляются вместе в последовательности слой за слоем, для формирования физической модели. Геометрия модели воспроизводится на станке без необходимости корректировки производственного процесса. При этом существует большая проблема нарезки слоев. На вход машины аддитивного производства поступают данные, которые описывают внешние замкнутые поверхности исходной модели и служат основой для получения срезов. Эти данные в виде сеток треугольников могут иметь проблемные вершины, вырожденные грани, не герметичности, вызванные пересечением граней друг с другом в 3D-пространстве и т.д. В данной работе предлагаются функционально заданные модели и алгоритм их нарезки. Используем новое задание моделей и новый метод получения слоев, представляющих собой тонкие поперечные сечения детали. В результате отпадает необходимость в нескольких этапах технологии аддитивного производства и устраняются проблемы нарезки тонких слоев

Purpose of this work is to determine the average time to reach the boundaries, as well as to identify the strategy in the game between two players, controlling point movements on the finite square lattice using an independent choice of strategies. One player wants to survive, i. e., to stay within the interior of the square, as long as possible, while his opponent wants to reach the absorbing boundary. A game starts from the center of the square and every next movement of the point is determined by independent strategy choices made by the players. The value of the game is the survival time that is the number of steps before the absorption happens. In addition we present series of experiments involving both human players and an autonomous agent (bot) and analysis of the survival time probability distributions. Methods. In this work, methods of the theory of absorbing Markov chains were used to analyze strategies and absorption times, as well as the Monte Carlo method to simulate trajectories. Additionally, a large-scale field experiment was conducted using the developed mobile application. Results. The players’ strategies are experimentally obtained for the cases of playing against an autonomous agent (bot), as well as human players against each other. A comparison with optimal strategies and a random walk is made: the difference between the experimental strategies and the optimal ones is shown, however, the resulting strategies show a much better result of games than a simple random walk. In addition, especially long-running games do not show the Markovian property in case of the simulation corresponding strategies. Conclusion. The sampled histograms indicate that the game-driven walks are more complex than a random walk on a finite lattice but it can be reproduced with a Markov Chain model.

Extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is considered one of the most dangerous threats to global health, requiring novel therapeutic interventions. The outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is an immunogenic agent that triggers immune responses. The current study evaluated serum antibody levels against previously determined immunogenic OmpA peptides from A baumannii in ICU staff.
Serum samples were collected from 62 ICU staff members (representing the exposed group), healthy controls (representing the nonexposed group), and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (as controls for nonspecific antibody reactions). After excluding the cross-reactive antibodies via Escherichia coli lysate pretreatment, all the samples were assessed in the vicinity of A baumannii lysate by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All the positive samples were assessed for interaction with previously designed and selected peptides using ELISA. The protective potential of positive serum antibodies was surveyed in vitro using an opsonophagocytic study.
The most antibody positive samples against one of the dominant peptides were determined in the ICU personnel (75%). SLE serum samples did not react with candidate peptides. The strongest positive reaction was observed in serum treatment with one of the OmpA peptides (No. 5) with significant differences compared to other designed peptides. Our findings showed that ICU samples have substantially higher antibody levels than the nonexposed group; Positive samples show strong results in the opsonophagocytosiis assay.
This study demonstrates A baumannii colonization at human mucosal surfaces, especially in exposed healthy workers. Novel OmpA-derived peptides could be used to identify immunogenic vaccine candidates. Therefore, more studies are needed before this peptide and antibody levels are used in diagnosis, prevention, or treatment.

The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is quite similar to that of cancer pathogenesis, and several pathways appear to be involved in both disorders. The mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) pathway harbors several established oncogenes and tumor suppressors. The same signaling molecules and growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), contributing to cancer development and progression play a part in fibroblast proliferation, myofibroblast differentiation, and the production of extracellular matrix in IPF development as well.
The expression of candidate genes acting upstream and downstream of mTORC1, as well as Vegf and low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1(Lrp1), was assessed using specific primers and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) within the lung tissues of bleomycin (BLM)-induced IPF mouse models. Lung fibrosis was evaluated by histological examinations and hydroxyproline colorimetric assay.
BLM-exposed mice developed lung injuries characterized by inflammatory manifestations and fibrotic features, along with higher levels of collagen and hydroxyproline. Gene expression analyses indicated a significant elevation of regulatory associated protein of mTOR (Raptor), Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb), S6 kinase 1, and Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4Ebp1), as well as a significant reduction of Vegfa, Tuberous sclerosis complex (Tsc2), and Lrp1; no changes were observed in the Tsc1 mRNA level.
Our findings support the elevation of S6K1 and 4EBP1 in response to the TSC/RHEB/mTORC1 axis, which profoundly encourages the development and establishment of IPF and cancer. In addition, this study suggests a possible preventive role for VEGF-A and LRP1 in the development of IPF.

Evaluation of pharmaceutical use of chamomile in dentistry: A systematic review
Authors: Abbasi Fatemeh , Khazaei Salman , Ahmadi-Motamayel Fatemeh
Published: May 2023

Background: Oral mucosa is one of the body’s most sensitive tissues. Due to the prevalence of oral ulcers and the effect of cancers on the oral mucosa، treating oral lesions is particularly important. Matricaria chamomilla is widely used in traditional medicine. Chamomile compounds have antibacterial، antiviral، anti-inflammatory and accelerate epithelialization. However no systematic study has been undertaken on the application of chamomile in treating oral lesions. Therefore this study aims to determine the medicinal use of chamomile in dentistry.
Methods: This systematic review searched major international electronic databases، including PubMed، ISI and Scopus، from August 1998 to August 2021. The articles included in this review were clinical trials in which the participants used chamomile as a mouthwash or gel.
Results: In this study، the therapeutic effects of chamomile were evaluated in 14 clinical trial studies. Most of the studies reviewed in the articles referred to the properties of flavonoid compounds with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of chamomile.
Conclusion: Today، medicinal plants are used in treatment and one of the most common plants used for medicinal purposes is chamomile. It is used in dentistry، and its positive effects on plaque، gingivitis، caries، mucositis and its antibacterial effects have been reported.
Preoperative Submucosal Dexamethasone Injection for Minimizing Postoperative Pain, Trismus, and Oedema Associated with Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Surgery
Authors: Hamid Goran Lateef Fatah , Mahmood Faris Bayad Jaza
Published: May 2023

Aim: Is To evaluate the relative ability of 4mg dose of preoperative Dexamethasone, administered submucosally, to reduce the postoperative pain, swelling and trismus after third molar surgery.
Methods: The total 40 patient required surgical removal of a single mandibular third molar were included and divided into two groups, The experimental group (20 cases) received intraoperative submucosal injection of 4 mg Dexamethasone buccally around the tooth at three points after the onset of anesthesia and the control group (20 cases) received no drugs. The maximum interincisal distance and facial contours were measured at baseline and at post-surgery days 2 and 7. The measurement of pain was done using visual analog scale (VAS).
Results: There was a statistically significant reduction in the severity of postoperative edema in the experimental group by the second postoperative day. While both groups saw a reduction in discomfort and trismus, there were no statistically significant differences between them.
Conclusion: The findings support submucosal injection of Dexamethasone (4 mg) to decrease postoperative edema. Low-dose Dexamethasone injection at the surgical site enhances drug concentration at the injury site without loss owing to diffusion or excretion. The submucosal technique was significantly effective in reduction of postoperative swelling and trismus.

Introduction: To preserve the peri-implant bone level during implant restorations, multiple variations have been made in the implant-abutment connections and bone level, and tissue level implants have been placed at the bone or tissue levels to restore the function of the lost teeth. This study compared the radiographic amount of crestal bone loss in bone-level and tissue-level implants in the implants supported mandibular overdentures.
Methods and materials: This study included 40 patients receiving bone-level and tissue-level implants with mandibular overdentures. A total number of 120 implants were placed by an experienced surgeon in a one-stage surgery. Panoramic images of patients immediately after surgery and at least one year after prosthetic loading were assessed. Bone loss values (distance between implant shoulder to proximal bone) were assessed in the bone-level and tissue-level implants on the radiographs using digital caliper on the surrounding areas of implants, including mesial and distal aspects. The data were subjected to a Student t-test.
Results: The mean of Mesial Bone Loss (MBL) of the right canine was reported 0.74 mm. The mean amount of Distal Bone Loss(DBL) of the right canine was 0.78 mm, the mean of DBL of the first incisal was 0.75 mm. The mean of MBL of the first incisal was 0.77 mm, the mean of DBL of the left canine was 0.76 mm. The mean of MBL of the left canine was 0.78 mm. Distal and mesial bone loss in the canine and first incisor bone-level implants were slightly higher than respective tissue-level implants, but no statistically significant differences were noted in this regard.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, both bone-level and tissue-level implants can be successfully used for supporting mandibular overdentures. Since the amount of cervical bone loss was clinically acceptable in both groups (in a period of one to four years with an average of 2.1 years). This study recommends that clinicians choose the type of implant according to clinical need and judgement.
Sport shooters in Poland: social capital of organizational engagement vs access to guns policy controversies
Authors: Kołodziej Arkadiusz , Kołodziej-Durnaś Agnieszka
Published: May 2023

The article presents sport shooting in Poland against a socio-political background. First, Polish society after the anti-communist breakthrough is diagnosed as a country lacking social capital and social trust in particular. In this context, membership in sport clubs, treated as a form of social involvement, is very desirable, as it expands the network of social cooperation. However, being a sport shooter is also associated with access to weapons, which is always controversial, even if Poland has low rates of access to firearms for citizens. The authors conducted research (CAWI, N = 253) on sport shooters in Poland. The results (opinions of sport shooters) are analyzed in three contexts: possession of a weapon and attitude towards a weapon (motivation to engage in sport shooting), sport shooting clubs (analysis of sport shooting organizations in Poland), and the image of a sport shooter (assessment of sport shooters’ image in Polish society). A basic problem that emerges from the empirical analysis is the heterogeneous interpretation of sport shooting by the shooters themselves. Shooting can be seen in terms of sport (an activity aimed at self-improvement and competition) as well as an activity with out-of-sport goals (patriotic, educational, and defensive). Different definitions of joint activity may lead to interpretative (of meaning) tensions and ultimately to conflicts within the examined category of people.
