Simple Surgical Methods for Soft Tissue Management around Fresh Extraction Sockets during Socket Preservation
Authors: Kablan Fares
Published: March 2023

Soft tissue volume and quality are considered important factors for functional and esthetic long-term outcomes around natural teeth and dental implants. However, achieving them is challenging for oral surgeons. Healing of an extraction site is combined with normal physiological ridge resorption and loss of interdental papillae scaffold. Therefore, the rehabilitation of these ridges with dental implants or pontic site of fixed dental prosthesis usually necessitates soft tissue management to achieve natural-looking tooth replacement. The aim of this chapter is to introduce two surgical topics that are used to preserve the soft tissue quality, volume, and architecture during teeth extraction procedure. The first topic is the “transient coronectomy” that is used to save the interdental papilla during teeth extraction, and the second topic is “The back-cut technique” that is used to enhance the socket seal of post-extraction sites.

Published: March 2023

For future smart cities, smart homes will be required. The key elements are the smart use of energy and smart communication systems that are connected to homes. Along with this, the devices inside the house will need to be monitored and managed efficiently. One of the current proposals is the use of Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) allowing to solve problems associated with efficient management, the economy of electrical energy, and failures/alarms regarding the operation and safety of appliances. This work proposes a model for the recognition of patterns of energy consumption in household appliances, based on the capture of electrical parameters through Smart Socket, using an intrusive method in the electric charge. The data acquisition system corresponds to an IoT platform that uses automatic meter reading elements, which, connected via Wi-Fi, send data to a cloud service. The results obtained allow a characterization of household appliance consumption profiles, with high levels of reliability and under multiple operating states. Because of the foregoing, the detection, monitoring, and control of household appliances connected to the electrical network allow the reduction of both household billing and CO2 emissions.
Physiological Role of Alveolar Macrophage in Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection: Phagocytosis and Aging
Authors: Shirato Ken , Kasuga Keisuke , Sato Shogo , Ishii Haruyuki
Published: March 2023

Acute lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the deadliest communicable diseases. Inhaled pathogens that reach the alveoli are eliminated by lung-resident alveolar macrophages. Bacteria and fungi are detected and phagocytosed by specific pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that are highly expressed in alveolar macrophages. In addition, early pro-inflammatory responses assist alveolar macrophages in the efficient phagocytosis of these pathogens. Viruses are also directly or indirectly endocytosed by pinocytosis or opsonization, respectively, whereas alveolar macrophages contribute to the prevention of pneumonia by removing endogenous dead cells through an alternate type of phagocytosis, efferocytosis. Macrophage phagocytosis and efferocytosis require not only sufficient expression of the relevant PRRs but also the coordinated interplay of intracellular factors that regulate engulfment. Given the current situation in which emerging infectious diseases spread worldwide, this chapter summarizes the physiological roles of alveolar macrophages in acute LRTIs, focusing on phagocytosis, pro-inflammatory responses, efferocytosis, and their regulatory machinery. This chapter also reviews recent insights into age-associated dysfunction of alveolar macrophages and discusses their relevance to vulnerability to acute LRTIs in the elderly population.
Raising The Breed Without Greed: Prognostic Analysis of Chidubem Iweka’s August Inmates
Authors: Osanyemi Taiwo A. Stanley
Published: March 2023

The high level of greed and corruption and their attendant socio-political stasis and ineptitude in contemporary Nigeria has been portrayed in Chidubem Iweka’s August Inmates. Existing literary and scholarly engagements on greed and corruption are ubiquitous and they have focused on the havoc they have unleashed on the society. Nonetheless, it appears that the prognostic studies on how to raise future leaders without the influence of the cancerous greed and corruption have been given little or no consideration. This is the critical gap this paper attempts to fill. This paper therefore investigates the social and vicious greed and its socio-political consequences in order to raise future leaders that will eschew the protracted and recalcitrant greed in Nigerian socio-political environment. The primary text is Chidubem Iweka’s August Inmates. It will be subjected to critical analysis in both content and form. Inspirations will be drawn from Postcolonialism as theoretical framework. The essence of literary Postcolonialism is to allow for the examination of socio-political vices and imbalances in contemporary Nigeria in order to seek for ways of ameliorating them through the selection of ideal future leaders; it will also undergird the analysis of our findings. The study identifies significantly greed as the bane of socio-political peace and progress. It concludes that in raising breed of leaders without greed some priceless socio-political virtues must be explicitly injected into the society.

Authors: Rahimi Mohammad Rahman , Faraji Hassan , Ravosh Somayeh
Published: March 2023

Background: Exercise-induced apoptosis occurs in a variety of tissues. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effects of strawberry extract supplementation on circulating apoptosis biomarkers following a single bout of resistance exercise. Methods: Eighteen healthy young untrained women were enrolled in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover research. The subjects participated in one resistance exercise session (at 80% 1RM) and underwent 2 wk strawberry extracts (700 mg daily) or maltodextrin. The washout period that separated the treatment periods was 4 wk. Blood samples were taken before supplementation and after 2 wk of the post-resistance exercise session to determine cytochrome c and caspase-3 serum markers. Results: Resting cytochrome c and caspase-3 concentrations were not significantly different for any strawberry extract supplementation and placebo groups (P > 0.05). Cytochrome c and caspase-3 were significantly elevated after exercise in a placebo (P < 0.05) but not strawberry extract supplementation. Conclusions: Supplementation with strawberry extract attenuates intense acute exercise-induced apoptosis in healthy women.

Authors: Dwi Susanto Ari
Published: March 2023

The public administration reforms of the late 1970s brought about revolutionary changes in the delivery of social services and the accounting for government spending and government organizations. A significant challenge Indonesian educational institutions face is allocating resources according to the steps to be taken. Empirical evidence shows that implementing planning and budgeting in school management still needs to be more efficient and full of obstacles. So that the purpose of this study is to find out and analyze the impact of new public management, a model of reporting performance budgets on educational institutions. This research is part of qualitative research using a systematic review approach. Based on the synthesis of the literature review that has been carried out, the impact of implementing the new public management, the performance budgeting reporting paradigm in educational institutions can be summarized as follows: 1) Due to limited available resources, performance-based budgeting is very profitable. 2) A More Comprehensive and Integrated Budget Establishment of an integrated and comprehensive budget is the second shift in the budget system. 3) Preparation of budget and financial reports is the duty and effort of all elements in the school, not only the treasurer. And 4) Structured Governance Pattern. New public management and performance budget reporting models can have a significant impact on educational institutions. By increasing accountability, increasing transparency, increasing efficiency, and improving performance standards.

Authors: Imsirovic Fuad , Prelic Nedim
Published: March 2023

Ovim istraživanjem autor se usmjerio na traganje za osobinama ličnosti adolescenata koje u većem stepenu determiniraju korištenje društvenih mreža i različitih oblika ponašanja na društvenim mrežama.
Istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku od N=349 učenika trećih i četvrtih razreda iz četiri srednje škole s područja Tuzlanskog kantona. U istraživanju je korišten upitnik sociodemografskih podataka s integrisanim dijelom vezanim za ispitivanje učestalosti korištenja interneta i društvenih mreža, te različitih oblika ponašanja na internetu i društvenim mrežama. Za ispitivanje osobina ličnosti korišten je BFI inventar ličnosti.
Na osnovu dobijenih rezultata, utvrđeno je da se 98,9% adolescenata koristi internetom u raznim oblicima (kod kuće, u školi, u pokretu), a vrijeme provedeno uz internet na dnevnom nivou prosječno iznosi M = 3,73 (Sd = 3,32). Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da se adolescenti, koji se svakodnevno koriste društvenim mrežama, od svojih vršnjaka, koji društvene mreže ne koriste ili ih koriste u manjoj mjeri, razlikuju po nivou ekstraverzije. Sa ekstraverzijom je na značajnom nivou povezan i broj sati koje adolescenti provedu na društvenim mrežama.

Somali experiences of first wave Caabuqa-corona: an analysis of high COVID-19 mortality and infection levels in London�s East End, 2020
Authors: Bede Farah , Lewis Joanna
Published: March 2023

This article focuses on the experiences of a minoritised black Muslim community in London during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020. It shows that many Somali families, living in a high-density area of the East End, experienced acutely high infection and death rates from late March. The reasons for this were found to be late lockdown, a top-down community-insensitive public health approach, and the way that many of the work force were in highly vulnerable occupations. However, high rates were then prolonged due to the legacy of historic poverty, housing density and institutional racism. Culture and locally specific responses were less significant factors but overall had a positive impact in mitigation. However, the situation with regard to mental health remains bleak. This research suggests more trained Somali health experts, community sensitive data, trauma informed care, and use of local networks could help reduce future vulnerabilities and health poverty.
Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian fusulinid biostratigraphy of southern New Mexico and westernmost Texas
Authors: Clopine William W.
Published: March 2023

This paper summarizes biostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic analyses of Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian strata in southern NM and westernmost TX. Fusulinid foraminifera offer the best means of subdivision and biostratigraphic correlation within this interval. Nineteen species in seven genera are documented, one new species is described, and eight biozones are correlated across the study area. Morrowan, Atokan, and early Desmoinesian sediments in the study area represent carbonate-shelf deposits. Shallow subtidal facies are dominant, but limited intertidal and supratidal deposits also occur. Fusulinid foraminifera occur in most carbonate lithologies, but are most abundant and best preserved in shallow subtidal biomicrite-wackestone, the dominant carbonate lithology encountered. Morrowan strata do not extend northward beyond the center of the Robledo Shelf. Earliest Morrowan deposits are restricted to the center of the Orogrande Basin. Morrowan strata thin rapidly to the northwest due to basal onlap above the pre-Pennsylvanian unconformity. Atokan and early Desmoinesian sediments (upper range of study) extend across the Robledo Shelf. The significant thickness variations in these strata across the study area reflect the lower subsidence rate of the Robledo Shelf relative to the Orogrande and San Mateo Basins during Atokan and early Desmoinesian time.

Regional correlations indicate that the lower 0.95 m of the "Derryan Series" type section overlaps the Morrowan Series. However, fusulinid faunas from the remainder of the Derryan type section correlate closely with Atokan faunas from the mid-continent. The upper boundary of the Derryan type section falls just below the first occurrence of Beedeina and corresponds with most authors' concept of the Atokan/Desmoinesian Series boundary.

The Atokan Series, as used in the midcontinent, and the Derryan Series, as defined in south-central NM, include approximately the same stratigraphic interval. Recent workers, however, have abandoned the term Derryan in favor of Atokan. The Atokan Series remains a controversial chronostratigraphic subdivision due in part to its lack of an adequate type section. This paper provides biostratigraphic and lithostratigrpahic analyses of Lower and Middle Pennsylvanian strata in southern NM and westernmost TX, which form a highly fossiliferous sequence of dominantly carbonate rocks. This sequence represents essentially continuous Morrowan through Desmoinesian deposition. These analyses were undertaken in order to better establish the relationships between Pennsylvanian chronostratigraphic units that are in current use but are not adequately defined.

The study area is located in south-central NM and westernmost TX. Four sections have been measured within the study area along a roughly linear northwest-southeast trend stretching approximately 160 km. Pennsylvanian strata crop out along this trend in a series of discontinuous fault-block mountains.
Geology of Organ Mountains and southern San Andres Mountains, New Mexico
Authors: Seager William R.
Published: March 2023

The Organ and southernmost San Andres Mountains in south-central New Mexico are part of a 150-mi long, west-tilted fault block extending from El Paso, Texas, northward to central New Mexico. The Organ Mountains tower nearly a mile above the floor of the Tularosa Basin on the east and the Rio Grande valley on the west. Oldest rocks exposed are Precambrian granite, overlain by as much as 8,500 ft of mostly marine Paleozoic and Cretaceous strata. In Laramide time, these rocks were deformed along the faulted margins of a basement-cored block uplift which was ancestral to the modern Organ-San Andres range. Lower Tertiary fanglomerate, at least 2,000 ft thick, records the erosional "unroofing" of the Laramide uplift and was sharply deformed as uplift progressed. Magmatism profoundly affected the area in middle Tertiary time. Intermediate composition lava and mudflow breccia of late Eocene or early Oligocene age buried the deeply eroded Laramide uplift. The Organ batholith (about 32.8 m.y. old) is interpreted to be an exposure of the upper, outer part of a magma chamber whose silicic cap erupted as pyroclastic flows and lavas 33.0-33.7 m.y. ago. The pyroclastic rocks, approximately 2 mi thick, subsided to form the Organ cauldron, only a piece of which is exposed in the Organ Mountains today. The pyroclastic rocks also formed the roof beneath which the batholith crystallized. Compositional zoning within the volcanics indicates that the erupted magma volume was also zoned, ranging from 77 percent SiO2 at the top to about 65 percent at lowest levels. The batholith represents deeper, less silicic (56-68 percent) levels of the magma chamber, and late-stage mineralized plutons within the batholith are interpreted to be products of the progressive crystallization of the magma chamber. Undated tristanite-trachybasalt flows interbedded with fanglomerate may indicate onset of late Tertiary block faulting in the area. Subsequent uplift of the modern ranges involved an early stage of closely spaced faulting associated with moderate west tilting or, locally, east downwarping. Some faults, initially steep, were rotated into low-angle positions as tilting progressed. The more recent stage of uplift is distinguished by development of the modern, widely spaced range-boundary faults and their associated horsts, west-tilted blocks, and grabens. Movement on the eastern range-boundary fault of the Organ and southern San Andres fault block has persisted to within the last 4,000-5,000 yrs. Several generations of alluvial fans, as old as middle Pliocene, are products of repeated movement on these faults. Mineral deposits related to the Organ batholith include base-metal deposits as replacements in limestone and dolomite, and as disseminations, vein fillings, and pegmatite minerals in the batholith.

Media pembelajaran yang berkualitas akan menghasilkan minat belajar yang tinggi dan daya fikir yang kreatif, terutama pada anak usia dini. Pada dasarnya usia anak prasekolah atau yang disebut “golden age”, sangat peka  dan sensitif terhadap  terhadap keinginan mengenal benda dan objek-objek baru yang ada disekitarnya baik melalui penglihatan maupun pendengaran. Pada usia ini anak sangat membutuhkan pendidikan dan pembelajaran yang mudah, menarik dan mengandung unsure game (permainan) sehingga akan menumbuhkan minat belajar bagi anak usia pra sekolah terutama dalam pengenalan huruf dan angka. Selama ini sistem pembelajaran di taman kanak-kanak secara umum masih menggunakan sistem konvensional yang masih menggunakan media peraga kertas gambar dan papan tulis yang mengakibatkan siswa sering merasa bosan dan motivasi belajarnya berkurang. Untuk mengatasi hal ini maka perlu dilakukan sosialisasi pemanfaatan media pembelajaran berbasis mobile learning kepada guru-guru yang mengajar di Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) maupun Taman Kanak-kanak (TK). Sehinga metode belajar yang diterapkan untuk murid lebih kreatif, inovatif dan inteaktif. Dengan adanya sosialisasi ini, diharapkan minat belajar siswa PAUD dan TK akan semakin meningkat dan mutu pembelajaran akan semakin tinggi.

Published: March 2023

Background and Objectives: Elbow is the most common site of fractures in children. It accounts for approximately 60% of all injuries in children. These fractures are caused by direct or indirect low energy trauma. Immediate & late complications are common in fracture of this region. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of two different modes of treatment i.e. crossed K-wires versus lateral wires for displaced type-III supracondylar fracture of Humerus in children.
Methods: A total of 80 patients having age between 2-13 years with type-III supracondylar fracture of Humerus type III those fulfilling the inclusion criteria were admitted through emergency department of this hospital. All these patients underwent x-rays of the elbow joint both AP & Lat views before the surgery. Patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. In group A, all fractures were fixed with crossed K-wires after reduction of these fractures, one wire from the medial condyle and one from the lateral condyle while in group B all fractures were fixed from the lateral condyle with 2 parallel K-wires of 2mm size in a divergent way after reduction of these fractures. In both of these groups, all these fractures were reduced closely under G/A with the help of image intensifier.
Results: In group A 62.5% patients presented with type-III A while 37.5% presented with type-III B fractures. In group B 70.0% patients had type-III A fractures while 30.0% patients type-III B fractures. Functional & radiological assessment was done with Baumann's angles & modified Flynn's criteria. At the final follow up the Baumann's angle was equal in both of these groups (78.15 + 3.32 in Group A) & (79.1 + 4.21 in Group B p>0.45).
Conclusion: This study concluded that there is no statistical significant difference in both modes of treatment regarding the stability of fixation and in terms of functional outcomes. However there are more chances of ulnar nerve injury with crossed k-wires fixation.

Background & Objectives: Ectopic deciduosis refers to an abnormal occurrence of decidual tissue beyond the endometrium, predominantly on the surface of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and omentum. Diffuse omental and perito-neal involvement is a perplexing manifestation that may mimic peritoneal carcinomatosis. It is not accompanied by any symptoms and complications in most of the cases and does not require treatment. However, rarely it can present with acute abdomen or imitate peritoneal malignancy and, thus, associated with diagnostic difficulties and unnecessary interventions. Aim of this case report is to describe a rare case of peritoneal deciduosis in a young female, found incidentally, during a caesarean section, mimicking metastatic nodules. Afutile hysterec-tomy along with omentectomy was performed.

Methods: A case of diffuse ectopic deciduosis mimicking as peritoneal carcinomatosis in a 29 years young female with full term pregnancy was found during a lower segment caesarian section, undertaken in a tertiary care teaching hospital of Lahore, Pakistan. The histopathological diagnosis was based on common technique of paraffin embedding and hematoxylin-eosin staining along with ancillary immune-histochemical evaluation.

Results: Histopathological evaluation showed ectopic decidual tissue consisted of solid nests and loosely cohesive aggregates; large polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm; sharply defined cell borders, bland nuclei with dispersed chromatin and single conspicuous nucleoli on the surface of uterus and in omental fat. Weak staining for CD30 was observed in the decidual cell cytoplasm and negative staining for CK and Calretinin in decidual cells was found. Calretinin and CK highlight benign mesothelial cells and help to rule out differentials of mesothelioma and metastatic carcinoma.

Conclusion: Peritoneal deciduosis represents a rare entity and it is important to consider this condition in patients, especially in pregnant women, to prevent unnecessary intervention In addition, distinguishing this condition from malignant neoplasms will help in deciding correct treatment options.

Authors: Hamdani Rifqi

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the issue of ethnocentrism and democracy in Indonesia with case studies in two regions. Firstly, ethnocentrism as the root and source of conflict between ethnic Dayak and Madurese in Sampit, Central Kalimantan Province.
Purpose: This article aims to discuss the issue of ethnocentrism in the Dayak and Madurese conflict.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is qualitative research. By using a descriptive approach and data collection techniques using literature study.
Findings: The conflict between Dayak and Madurese was caused by the sentiments of the two ethnicities. Ethnic differences are used as sentiments to compete in various aspects of social, economic, and, politics. Ethnic differences and diversity that are expected to go hand in hand and complement each other with the democratic system in Indonesia still reap many problems. The democratic system seems to open space for the emergence of inter-ethnic conflicts. This is certainly a challenge for the Indonesian people. The government needs to always encourage and open space to conduct political socialization to all Indonesian people and community or ethnic groups, especially those related to the values of nationalism, tolerance, and Indonesian unity.
Originality/Value: Many have discussed issues related to ethnocentrism, both Dayak and Madurese conflicts. But this research is more directed at the issue of ethnocentrism.

Hampir semua hasil produk menggunakan kemasan untuk menjaga mutu kualitas produk dalam kurun waktu tertentu sampai ke tangan konsumen. Di Kampung Karang Mulya terdapat Industri Rumahan pengolahan biji melinjo menjadi makanan ringan yang dinamakan emping melinjo. Pengemasan emping melinjo masih menggunakan plasti tipis yang mudah robek dan stapler untuk menutup kemasan. Hal ini mengakibatkan mutu dari emping melinjo tidak bertahan lama karena air,udara serta zat lainnya dapat mudah masuk dalam kemasan yang langsung mempengaruhi turunnya kualitas mutu emping melinjo.Penyuluhan pada kegiatan KKM mahasiswa untirta kelompok 83 ini bekerjasama dengan Rumah Kemasan memberikan contoh cara pengemasan dan pelabelan yang baik yang dapat meningkatkan daya jual dari produk emping melinjo produksi kampung Karang Mulya.Pengemasan menggunakan plastik dengan ketebalan 0,8mm yang tidak mudah sobek serta penguncian kemasan dengan menggunakan sealer dimana hasilnya rata sehingga air,zat yang berada dilingkungan tidak mudah masuk kedalam kemasan.
