The paper reports the findings of research into information literacy in the context of workers’ rights in Croatia. It analyses workers’ information behaviour and the ways in which they obtain and use information to seek the protection of their rights. The paper aims to map out a new research framework for information literacy situated at the junction of workplace and critical information literacy. Quantitative data were collected by an online questionnaire with 50 primarily close-ended questions on a nationally representative sample of N=500 employed workers. Quantitative analysis was carried out on the data employing SPSS and Excel. Higher levels of being informed and information competences, and active information behaviour, lead to less frequent violations of workers’ rights and to a greater readiness to seek the protection of, and fight for, those rights. The findings confirm the importance of information literacy in the prevention of violations of rights and in mounting effective opposition when these occur, and in the empowerment of workers to seek their protection and improvement. The results allow further delineation of the information literacy practices of workers. The paper brings the first attempt to look into the prospect of the critical workplace information literacy construct.
Everyday information literacy in rural areas
Authors:   University of Hildesheim, Oldenburg Laurine , Griesbaum Joachim ,   University of Hildesheim
Published: November 2022

Information literate behaviour can be understood as an approach to handle the increasingly digitalised information environment. Rural areas and particularly the local authorities face specific challenges realising the digital transformation of decentralized countries. This research investigates individual information needs and behaviour patterns of residents in a rural district in Germany. The aim is to deliver insights concerning the question as to how information provision (supplier perspective) and information literacy (citizen perspective) can be fostered for rural inhabitants. This holistic perspective allows for context-specific recommendations at the end of the three-year project.Data were collected through a user study, expert interviews with information providers as well as an analysis of the websites maintained by the local authorities. The study shows that for residents evaluating information and information sources are the main issues. The analysis of the municipality’s websites indicates difficulties providing target group specific information. The expert interviews reveal a low level of digital maturity on behalf of the local governmental information provision, mainly caused by a lack of resources. Besides finding approaches to foster individual information literacy in the future, the information quality model developed for the analysis may already be used as a reference to improve the information provision of local governments.
Exploring the role of context models in memory-building: the completion of informative voids and the re-organisation of narratives in second-hand memories
Authors:   University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Bilbao, Spain, Velte Samara
Published: November 2022

The transmission of memory after traumatic collective events (such as armed conflicts) always involves a discursive re-construction from a present viewpoint. In the case of new generations who have no direct memories of the conflict, a variety of contextual factors can interfere in the process of meaning-making. In this paper, we explore some of the discursive strategies employed by youngsters in order to fill in informational voids or to manage discourses that seem contradictory with their current context or pre-established belief systems when re-building narratives about violent conflicts in their community. Oral data collected from eight in-depth interviews with adolescents belonging to the first post-conflict generation in the Basque Country was analysed, combining theories from Memory Studies and theoretical-methodological approaches from Critical Discourse Analysis. Four types of rearrangement of information were identified during the interviews: all speakers drew on contextual information and pre-established mental models in order to fill in informational gaps, even if the resulting narratives sometimes altered the original meaning. Evidence suggests that remembering is a discursive practice strongly influenced by the current context and situation of the speaker, which would offer an explanation as to why collective memory changes with each generation.

Experimental Investigation of Heat and Fluid Flow Characteristics on Expanded Metal Mesh Roughened Solar Collector
Authors: Ayalew Yewondwosen Gzate
Published: November 2022

Solar air heater is used for agricultural grain products drier, curing of industrial products and for other systems requiring low grade thermal energy. Their usefulness and quantitative energy collections has been limited. This is because of low thermal efficiency with primarily as a result of low convective heat transfer coefficient, between the absorber plate and air leading to higher plate temperature. This results greater thermal energy losses. Experimental investigation has been conducted to study heat transfer enhancement by using small diameter wire ribs on absorber plate of solar air heater duct, with the roughened wall exposed to the glazing side while the remaining 3 walls were insulated. The roughened wall has relative roughness height (e/Dh) 0.0135 - 0.0406, relative roughness pitch (p/e) 10 - 20, rib height 0.5 - 1.5 mm, expanded metal mesh (L/e) 25 - 75, Short way mesh (S/e) 15 - 45, angle of attack 45° for inclined configuration, duct aspect ratio of 12 and the air flow rate corresponds to Reynolds number between 2,000 to 18,000. It has been found that the heat transfer coefficient could be improved by a factor up to 2.2 and the friction factor had been found to increase by a factor of 1.2 times that of the smooth duct. The investigation emphasized that the secondary flow rolling along the inclined ribs is responsible for higher heat transfer rates. Thermal efficiency increased from 50.58 - 65.75 %. Finally, correlation is developed for both Nusselt number and friction factor using sigma plot software, which can be selected by the designer for a given operating condition.

HIGHLIGHTS

At the moment agricultural products are spoiled due to poor dryer

A solar air heater with expanded metal mesh roughened solar collector is designed, manufactured and experimental test is conducted

Published: November 2022

Wheat is the main agricultural crop in many countries of the world, as well as the main food in the steppe zone, so the system of agrotechnical measures should be aimed at creating favourable conditions for obtaining a high yield. The issue of intensification of grain production is inseparable from the production and use of new biogenic effective drugs that have a positive effect on the growth and development of cultivated plants. The purpose of this study was to establish the effect of foliar fertilisation with bacterial preparations, precursors, and doses of mineral fertilisers on grain yield and productivity elements of winter wheat. The paper provides data on the results of the research of winter wheat of the Duma Odeska variety in the conditions of the Educational and Practical Centre of the Mykolaiv NAU in 2019–2021. During the study, generally accepted methods were used: monographic, systematic approach and systematic analysis, analysis and synthesis, field and statistical. The influence of the precursor, foliar feeding with modern bacterial biopreparations and the use of different doses of mineral fertilisers on the elements of the crop structure and grain yield of winter wheat was analysed. It was established that the yield level depended and changed on the precursor taken for foliar feeding of the bacterial preparation, the level of mineral nutrition and to a large extent on the influence of the weather conditions of the growing year. Over the years of research, precursors, mineral fertilisers, and treatment of plant sowing with biological preparations affected the number of productive stems, the number of grains from an ear, the mass of grain from one ear and the mass of 1,000 grains of winter wheat. The conducted studies confirmed the expediency of foliar fertilising in the main periods of vegetation with biological preparations to optimise the nutrition of winter wheat plants with the aim of forming a stable grain yield. The obtained scientific results of the research will contribute to the wide application of biological preparations, which will ensure the rapid and full growth and development of winter wheat plants, which will further contribute to increasing the yield and gross harvest of grain.

Published: November 2022

The development of agricultural cooperation in Ukraine is one of the main vectors for rapid recovery of agricultural production after the Russian-Ukrainian war, increasing its competitiveness, ensuring sustainable development of rural areas, increasing employment and welfare of rural population. However, agricultural service cooperatives are not developed in Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to find the main drivers of agricultural service cooperatives’ development in Ukraine, to outline on this basis promising directions for development of agricultural policy in terms of stimulating their development as a counterweight to the dominance of agricultural holdings. It is proven that the main restraining factor in the development of agricultural service cooperatives in Ukraine is institutional memory of a peasant, which was formed during collectivization in Soviet times and which in modern conditions is associated with the concept of “cooperative”. This creates opposition from agricultural producers towards the national policy on the development of agricultural cooperatives, which meet international cooperative principles, and which have proven their advantages in increasing competitiveness of farmers on the example of developed countries of the world. It is emphasized that before changing formal institutions through legislation, it is necessary to form proper informal institutions that will strengthen, and not oppose, the introduction of formal ones. This paper is of practical importance for scientists and representatives of public administration in the field of forming strategic state and regional programs for agricultural development. Compliance of national policy measures according to the identified drivers of agricultural service cooperation’ development, requires further research.

The relevance of this study lies in the use of the probiotic strain of the microorganism B. coagulans ALM 86 for the treatment of diarrhoea in dairy calves and the reduction of the use of antibiotics in animal husbandry. The purpose of this paper was to establish the therapeutic effect in the treatment of diarrhoea in calves, the composition of the microflora, physiological indicators and metabolism using Bacillus coagulans ALM 86. The study used the following methods: microbiological, microscopic, biochemical, physiological, statistical. Studies have shown that the use of B. coagulans ALM 86 contributes to a decrease in the number of opportunistic microflora E. coli – by 90.8%, S. aureus – by 92.4%, S. enterica – by 88.01, an increase in Lactobacillus sp. by 130.8–151.58% and Bifidobacterium sp. by 272.7–469.8%. Administration of B. coagulans ALM 86 at a concentration of 1×109, CFU/g at a dose of 3–5 g helped stop diarrhoea and accelerate the development of scar digestion for four days in dairy calves, compared to the group where the antibiotic was used. An increase in average daily growth and feed consumption was found in the first experimental group by 19.7–15.0%, in the second – by 23.4–19.9% ​​(р≤0.05). A decrease in the level of total cholesterol with the use of B. coagulans ALM 86, an increase in the level of total protein by 18.57–22.6%, as a result of an increase in the content of total globulins by 49.3–57.37%, respectively (р≤0.05), were proven. Administration of B. coagulans ALM 86 at a concentration of 1×109, CFU/g at a dose of 3–5 g helped stop diarrhoea and accelerate the development of scar digestion for four days in dairy calves, compared to the group where the antibiotic was used. The obtained results of the study indicate the absence of toxic effects of the proposed dose of B. coagulans ALM 86 for the treatment of dyspepsia in calves and obtaining a positive effect. The practical value of the obtained results lies in the possibility of using B. coagulans ALM 86 in the treatment of diarrhoea in dairy calves without the use of antibiotics on animal farms of various designation.

Published: November 2022

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common cause of partial seizures. However, there is a paucity of data on the correlation of clinical and semiological features of TLE with specific imaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Objective: In this study, we sought to evaluate the association between the semiology of TLE with specific etiological findings as identified on MRI. Materials and methods: This was a single-center, observational study in which consecutive patients presenting with clinical features diagnostic of TLE underwent a brain MRI on a 1.5 T scanner. The data collected from the various MR parameters were then correlated with history. Results: A total of 90 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the study population was 29.1 years. Females comprised 45% of the study population. Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) was the most common imaging finding in about 60% of patients. Four out of five patients had aura whereas 70% had automatisms. The presence of aura in TLE patients was significantly associated with MTS on MRI (p = 0.042). The presence of automatism and history of childhood febrile seizure did not have a significant association with any specific etiological findings on MRI (p = 0.254 and 0.731, respectively). Drug-refractory epilepsy was commonly associated with the presence of MTS on MRI (p = 0.004). The presence of dual pathology on MRI was associated with drug-refractory epilepsy (p = 0.031). Conclusions: The presence of aura and drug-refractory epilepsy point towards the presence of MTS. Dual pathology, on MRI, in TLE patients may be a risk factor for drug-refractory epilepsy

Conversion is a morphosyntactic phenomenon, with morphological and syntactic changes occurring simultaneously. Conversion as a way of forming new lexical units includes the process of selection and consolidation. Our study showed that if the selection is random, then fixing is a long process, while some of the neoplasms are considered occasionalisms. The formation of substantive epithets by adjectivization of a noun suggests connotative shifts and the appearance of additional stylistic coloring in the original linguistic units.

Objective: Prealbumin renamed transthyretin is a protein that is made in the liver and released in the blood and has been used as a beneficial nutritional indicator for long years. It aimed to investigate whether serum prealbumin level is a marker of mortality in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
Methods: This retrospective and single-center study was carried out at level 3 intensive care unit. Data were collected from hospital electronic records and patient file archives. Patient age, gender, acute physiologic and chronic health evaluation score, nutritional risk screening 2002, nutric score, neutr ophil -lymp hocyt e ratio, need for mechanical ventilation and duration, intensive care unit length of stay, comorbid conditions, the situation of nutrition support, causes of enteral feeding intolerance, the situation of protein and energy intake (7 days), laboratory parameters (included prealbumin (0 and 7 days)) at the time of admission to intensive care unit, and mortality status were recorded. Patients were divided into 2 groups as survivors and non-survivors, and the differences between the 2 groups were analyzed for all parameters.
Results: Sixty-three (60%) were female of 105 patients who participated in this study. The mean age was 59 ± 23 years. The mortality rate was 48.6%. The length of stay in the intensive care unit was 30 ± 34 days. The median level of serum albumin (g/dL) on day 1 was 2.7 (2.3-3.2) and on day 7, it was 2.5 (2.1-2.8). The mean level of serum prealbumin (mg/dL) on day 1 was 13.8 ± 6.6 and on day 7, it was 12.5 ± 6.5. Prealbumin (on days 0 and 7) values were not different between survivors and non-survivors (for all P < .05). In the binary logistic regression analysis, age and albumin value (on day 7) were found to be independent risk factors for mortality (odds ratio: 1.038 (1.002-1.075), P = .036, odds ratio: 1.148 (1.021-1.290), P = .021), respectively.
Conclusions: Prealbumin levels did not differ for critically ill patients with and without mortality.

Objective: In patients with COVID-19, the possibility of sarcopenia has climbed further by adding inflammation, malnutrition, and physical inactivity to pre-existing health conditions. This study aimed to examine the sarcopenia status and related factors of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the near term after discharge.
Methods: Patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 were included in this cross-sectional study on the 14th day after discharge. Examinations of the patients were performed in the post-COVID-19 follow-up outpatient clinic and then comprehensive assessments were made in the geriatric medicine outpatient clinic. Anthropometric measurements, handgrip strength, muscle mass assessment by ultrasonography, and bioelectrical impedance analysis were performed. Grip strength cut-offs were taken as 16 kg for females and 27 kg for males, and those lower than these values were accepted as having probable sarcopenia.
Results: In total, 49 patients participated and their mean age was 59.0 ± 12.4 years, while the ratio of female participants was 53.1% (n = 26). Of the patients, 49.0% (n = 24) had multimorbidity. There were 17 (34.7%) probable sarcopenic patients. In bioelectrical impedance analysis measurements, the fat ratio was higher (P < .05), and appendicular skeletal muscle index was lower in probable sarcopenic patients (P < .001). In ultrasonography measurements, gastrocnemius muscle thickness, gastrocnemius fascicle length, rectus femoris muscle thickness, and rectus femoris cross-sectional area were lower in probable sarcopenic patients (P < .05 for all), but there was no difference in trunk muscles (P > .05). Among anthropometric measurements, mid-arm and calf circumferences were lower in probable sarcopenic patients (P < .05 for all). In regression analysis, as a result of the model created, multimorbidity was associated with probable sarcopenia (odds ratio: 3.9, 95% CI: 1.06-14.30, P = .04).
Conclusion: The possibility of sarcopenia increases in patients with COVID-19, especially the group with multimorbidity should be evaluated in terms of sarcopenia to prevent adverse health outcomes related to sarcopenia. Handgrip strength, bioelectrical impedance analysis, ultrasonography, and anthropometric measurements can be used in the evaluation of sarcopenia.

Empagliflozin (Jardiance)
Authors: CADTH
Published: November 2022

CADTH recommends that Jardiance should be reimbursed for the treatment of chronic heart failure as an adjunct to standard-of-care therapy if certain conditions are met.

Jardiance should only be covered to treat patients 18 years and older whose heart is unable to pump enough blood to keep up with the body’s needs (heart failure) because the heart is either too weak (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) or too stiff (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF]). The patient should either have a slight limitation in physical activity (New York Heart Association [NYHA] functional classification class II) or a marked limitation in physical activity (NYHA class III).

Jardiance should only be reimbursed if the price is less costly than dapagliflozin for the treatment of chronic heart failure. Jardiance should be prescribed as an added therapy to standard therapy for chronic heart failure.

Published: November 2022

Abstract. The European climatological high-resolution gauge-adjusted radar precipitation dataset, EURADCLIM, addresses the need for an accurate (sub-)daily precipitation product covering 78 % of Europe at high spatial resolution. A climatological dataset of 1-h and 24-h precipitation accumulations on a 2-km grid is derived for the period 2013 through 2020. The starting point is the European Meteorological Network (EUMETNET) Operational Program on the Exchange of weather RAdar Information (OPERA) gridded radar dataset of 15-min instantaneous surface rain rates, which is based on data from, on average, 138 ground-based weather radars. First, methods are applied to further remove non-meteorological echoes from these composites by applying two statistical methods and a satellite-based cloud type mask. Second, the radar composites are merged with the European Climate Assessment & Dataset (ECA&D) with potentially ~7700 rain gauges from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) in order to substantially improve its quality. Characteristics of the radar, rain gauge and satellite datasets are presented, as well as a detailed account of the applied algorithms. The clutter removal algorithms are effective, while removing few precipitation echoes. The usefulness of EURADCLIM for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) is confirmed by comparing against rain gauge accumulations employing scatter density plots, statistical metrics, and a spatial verification. These show a strong improvement with respect to the original OPERA product. The potential of EURADCLIM to derive pan-European precipitation climatologies and to evaluate extreme precipitation events is shown. Specific attention is given to remaining artefacts in and limitations of EURADCLIM. Finally, it is recommended to further improve EURADCLIM by applying algorithms to 3D instead of 2D radar data, and by obtaining more rain gauge data for the radar-gauge merging.The EURADCLIM 1-h and 24-h precipitation datasets are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.21944/7ypj-wn68 (Overeem et al., 2022a) and https://doi.org/10.21944/1a54-gg96 (Overeem et al., 2022b).
Transient Theory of Pumping Induced Depletion and Drawdown of a Stream with Finite Channel Storage
Authors: Malama Bwalya , Lin Ying-Fan , Yu Hwa-Lung , Tseng Hua-Ting , Greene Sam
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Mathematical models for stream depletion with stream stage decline or drawdown are developed to overcome the deficiency in existing models that typically use the constant-head (Dirichlet) or general (Robin) boundary condition and source terms at the stream-aquifer interface. Existing approaches assume a fixed stream stage during pumping, implies that the stream is an infinite water source, with depletion defined as a decrease in stream discharge. We refer to this depletion without drawdown as the ``stream depletion paradox.'' It is a glaring model limitation, ignoring the most observable adverse effect of long-term groundwater abstraction near a stream, namely stage declines that eventually lead to dry streambeds. Field data are presented to demonstrate that stream stage responds to pumping near the stream, motivating the development of an alternative theory predicts transient stream drawdown based on the concepts of finite stream storage and mass continuity at the stream-aquifer interface. Based on this alternative theory, models are developed for the cases of a non- and a fully-penetrating stream. The proposed model reduces to the fixed-stage model in the limit as stream storage becomes infinitely large and to the limiting case of confined aquifer flow with a no-flow boundary at the streambed when the stream storage vanishes. The model is applied to field observations of both aquifer and stream drawdown from tests conducted in a confined aquifer over which a shallow stream flows. Model fits and parameter estimates are obtained both aquifer and stream drawdown data. Model predicted and observed transient drawdown behavior indicate that fixed-stage models (a) underestimate late-time aquifer drawdown and (b) overestimate the available recharge from streams to pumping wells. This has significant implications for the sustainable management of water resources in hydraulically connected stream-aquifer systems with heavy groundwater abstraction.

In the article, based on Chinese data, the heroic campaigns of Kutlug Elterish-Khagan, the founder of the Second Eastern Turkic Khaganate, are described, on the way to the foundation of the khanate. On the basis of the ancient Turkic monuments, the content is discussed, which is clearly indicated and absent in the Chinese data. In 682 a direct descendant of the founding dynasty of the historical First Turkic Khanate Kutlik and a descendant of another tribe of Kok Tьrks, Tonyukuk, restored the Kok Tьrks empire, that was destroyed half a century ago. Some information about the creation of The Second Turkic Khaganate and its founders was preserved in the runic inscriptions of the monuments "Kultegin", "Tonyukuk", and "Bilge Kagan". Readers of our country are familiar with these details. However a rich set of data about The Second Turkic Khaganate and its history has been comprehensively preserved in the Chinese sources. However the relevant information in this material collection is known only to individual specialists, and is not so familiar to a wide range of readers. The article is intended to satisfy such a demand of our country's readers. The article was limited to presenting the most important data from Chinese sources.

Several tendons can be used as autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and the choice often depends on the surgeons’ preferences. The quadriceps tendon is a commonly used autograft. This study presented, for the first time, the morphometry of the harvestable area of the QT using a simple tracing method. Adult cadavers of South Africans of European Ancestry were carefully dissected to expose the tendon. Then the tendon outline (premarked to enhance visibility) was then traced on a firmly secured wax paper which assumed the curvature of the tendon in situ. The tracing was then scanned (with its inscribed scale bar) and the morphometrics were measured on the digitized images using an imageJ software. The limb length was also measured in order to normalize all the measurements. Despite the observable difference in the surface area of the quadriceps tendon in each individual, there was no significant difference. For the other measurements, there were no side or sex differences except for the straight distal width which is sexually dimorphic. Some paired parameters showed a strong correlation but the correlation between the limb length and other measurements was weak. These data will be useful for pre-operative planning of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and will shed more light into the usability of the quadriceps tendon as a graft with respect to healing at the donor site and the return of knee function.
The “living humanities”: Creative arts and academic humanities in tension
Authors: Beudel Saskia
Published: November 2022

When the Australian Academy of the Humanities (AAH) was established in 1969, poet Judith Wright was elected as a founding fellow. Scholar and fellow poet A. D. Hope saw her inclusion as boding well for the Academy’s purpose to foster and promote the humanities. Six years later, Wright complained about a lack of opportunities for creative practitioners and claimed that she was being excluded from Academy life. While some fellows supported Wright, the majority disagreed that creative practitioners belonged in the fellowship. This incident is representative of a broader “unclear connection” between the “living humanities” – as H. C. Coombs described the creative arts – and what Simon During terms the “academic humanities”. Focusing on the AAH’s first three decades, this article traces different ideas held by leading humanities scholars towards the creative arts and shows how the AAH maintained boundaries and created exclusions. A major shift occurred with the John Dawkins reforms to higher education. Key figures at the AAH played leading roles in seeking solutions to alarmingly low levels of Australian Research Council (ARC) funding for “creative arts research”. Despite such efforts, the AAH continued to elect very few creative arts practitioners into its core fellowship throughout the 1990s and ARC data shows that funding inequities for creative arts research remain an intractable problem.

The aim of this research is to analyze artifacts in dual-energy chest radiography: their appearance and how to eliminate them. A total of 252 patients were examined in random order by using dual-energy radiography. As a result, 756 images were analyzed. This review describes the most important and most prevalent of them, including motion artifacts - 58 (41,4%), quantum noise – 55 (39,2%) and decreasing the suppression of bony elements on soft-tissue-selective images – 27 (19,3%). The main reason of dual-energy chest radiography artifacts is incorrect image reconstruction parameters.

The manufacturing industry is the foundation and pillar of the national economy. With the background of China’s economic development entering a new era and fully implementing the innovation-driven development strategy, the manufacturing sector’s level of green transformation has been realized as one of the critical indicators of China’s economic development. Technology innovation-driven green manufacturing industry transformation is a crucial strategy to achieve high-quality economic development and boost global competitiveness in the context of a new round of technological revolution and industrial reform closely entwined with China's economic transformation and development. Based on this, we take the green transformation of China’s manufacturing industry as the theme, focus on industries, regions, and strategic industries, and explore the impact and spatial linkage effect of technological innovation on the green transformation of the manufacturing industry. Based on the research perspective of manufacturing industry development heterogeneity, we construct the slack based measure - Undesirable-Malmquist-Tobit comprehensive evaluation method and put forward the driving role and impact of technological innovation on the green transformation of the manufacturing industry. The manufacturing industry is categorized into three categories based on the level of pollution, such as clean industry, medium pollution industry and heavy pollution industry. It is found that the green development efficiency of the clean manufacturing industry is the highest, followed by the heavy pollution industry, and the efficiency of the medium pollution industry is the lowest.

Purpose: To investigate the use of tricalcium silicate cement Biodentine as an alternative to MTA in regenerative endodontic procedures by assessing the morphology and adhesion of stem cells from apical papilla in direct contact with these materials Materials/Methods: Glass ionomer cement, MTA and Biodentine disks with identical size were created. Stem cells from apical papilla were incubated on these disks, and their size and morphology were assessed with a scanning electron microscope. Results: No adhesion of SCAP was observed when incubating cells with glass ionomer disks, which can be explained by a decrease in pH and a delay in cell proliferation. Cell adhesion was observed in the groups incubated in the presence of MTA and Biodentine discs. Cells adhered to the calcium silicate cements have different morphology and can be round or flat, with several processes. Conclusions: Stem cells from apical papilla adhere to MTA and Biodentiе when in direct contact with discs made of these materials. The cells show different morphology and can be round or flat, with several processes. Calcium silicate cements have biocompatibility and bioactivity and they are suitable materials for the biological treatment of pulp and regenerative endodontics.
