Published: October 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: A pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil já vitimou cerca de 633 mil pessoas até o momento. Durante a pandemia, vários países adotaram medidas de isolamento para conter a propagação do vírus, o que ocasionou em mudanças nas atividades dos indivíduos, interferindo na forma como essas pessoas se alimentam, se exercitam e no estado psicológico delas. Todas essas alterações sofridas, tendem a afetar negativamente o controle da glicose em pacientes diabéticos. OBJETIVO: Investigar na literatura vigente os efeitos da pandemia de COVID-19 sobre o índice glicêmico de portadores de Diabetes mellitus tipo 1. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa. Para o levantamento dos artigos, realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados BVS, MEDLINE e PUBMED, utilizando os descritores: Diabetes mellitus, COVID-19, Índice glicêmico e Sars Cov-2. Os critérios de inclusão adotados foram: Artigos publicados em português e inglês de acordo com a temática e publicados nos últimos 5 anos. RESULTADOS: Pacientes que são diabéticos, tendem a ter um fator de risco para COVID-19 mais elevado. Diante disso é importante ressaltar que o controle glicêmico e o processo de educação para autocuidado de portadores de DM são importantes para a redução dos riscos que eles estão expostos durante a pandemia. Durante o isolamento social, constatou-se que o controle glicêmico em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) teve um menor impacto, comparado com os pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), que de acordo com estudos, teve uma piora no controle glicêmico. O estresse psicológico foi identificado como um fator comum para a perda de um bom controle do índice glicêmico. CONCLUSÃO: De acordo com estudos, muitas pessoas tiveram algum tipo de alteração no seu índice glicêmico, devido ao estresse, diminuição do sono, falta de exercícios e mudança na dieta.

COVID-19 was a challenge which tested the entirety of our country's healthcare system from 2020-2021. The pandemic was an emergency, quite dynamic, and necessitated quick and thoughtful actions. Ever since the official announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria and the first reported cases from 08.03.2020 to 30.09.2020, the total number of registered cases has risen to 500112. This fact was the reason we conducted a survey among 531 patients from all over the country regarding the changes in their access to the doctor's office and the methods they used for contacting their general practitioner for the period from March 2020 to April 2021.The results show that over 51.41% of participants have seen an improvement in their access to their GP's office due to the fewer patients visiting the office. At the same time, 42.18% of participants reported they received phone consults or had their phone calls returned during their general practitioner's working hours. 26.18% of respondents have received phone consults regardless of the time. 30.70% of respondents have communicated with their GP via Viber; 14.50% via messenger; 6.03% via email.

Introduction:Simulation tests may significantly decrease the cost and time needed for planning and production of prosthetic restorations, providing both computer simulation as part of the refinement process and experimental testing. Aim: Comparative simulation testing with functional loading of two denture framework materials. Materials and methods: Upper model cast denture forbilateral edentulous areas posterior to the natural teeth (Kennedy Class I) was produced on the "Frasaco" phantom model. The denture was scanned by a 3D optical laboratory scanner. The 3D model was transformed into an STL-file and was processed with "Cinema 4D" software before the application of the program "SOLIDWORKS" v.2018. Parameters of two materials – metal alloy I-MG EKO (Interdent, Slovenia) and injection molded resin Bio Dentaplast (Bredent, Germany) were applied. Simulations were performed by equivalent loading according to the Third strength theory (von Mises stress-test) and loading with deformation and shift at constant force 0.1N/mm2 at a maximal number of 159 181 segmented elements of the 3D object. Tests were held upon unilateral loading on the working side, and support was provided by reciprocal clasp arms on the working and non-working side, denture flanges and major connector. Results and discussion: Results showed insignificant differences between the common reflected load of the two tested materials but with different distribution - on the major connector, it was 0.4N for the alloy and 0.87N for the resin, at the flanges – 2.26N and 5.6N respectively, for the clasps – 5.1N and 5.7N. Conclusion: The tested metal alloy is rigid and resistant material which provides distribution of the reflected load between clasp elements and denture saddle, especially distally, while the the tested injection molded material possesses relatively high flexibility and elasticity, which hides a risk for the teeth bearing clasps.

A 73-year old man with past medical history of coronary artery bypass grafting in 2012 and subclavian artery stenting in 2021 was scheduled for an ophthalmologic minor surgery requiring conscious sedation. During the surgery, he developed hemodynamic instability and shortness of breath requiring the conversion to general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. An electrocardiogram was immediately realized revealing deep negative T waves in all the precordial leads. Elevated troponin level confirmed the diagnosis of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Urgent coronary artery angiography revealed a known left coronary system with a chronic Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery occlusion, a chronic occlusion of the distal circumflex artery and a severe stenosis of left main stem. The right coronary artery presented a significant and calcified stenosis on its mid part. The two venous grafts on the obtuse marginal and the posterolateral artery were both patent. The left subclavian artery could not be crossed to selectively film the left internal mammary artery and an angiogram revealed a tight stenosis in the previous stented segment, limiting the blood flow in the left internal mammary artery. Careful review of the in-stent restenosis suggested neointimal hyperplasia and stent fracture, as detected by stentboost imaging.

Avaliação de impacto de programas e projetos educacionais e culturais
Authors: Jannuzzi Martino
Published: October 2022

Demonstrar que programas ou projetos produzem impacto pode ser bastante complexo em termos metodológicos, custoso em tempo e em recursos ou mesmo pouco factível em termos práticos, mas nem por isso tais empreendimentos deixam de ser meritórios. A problemática da realidade com que lidam, a intangibilidade dos efeitos da intervenção, a complexidade do contexto de operação, a brevidade da implementação e, em particular, as expectativas quanto ao programa ou projeto podem não favorecer a produção de evidências do que se propôs como impacto com a pretendida precisão estatística ou a desejada vinculação causal entre intervenção e efeito. E, ainda assim, o programa ou projeto pode ser relevante pela sua contribuição potencial para a melhoria de algum aspecto das condições de vida dos públicos afetados, para a disseminação de conhecimentos entre técnicos e gestores de intervenções, para uma maior capacidade de gestão e operação das atividades ou ainda para a ampliação de perspectivas de coesão social, respeito à diversidade sociocultural e étnica e sustentabilidade ambiental. Nem tudo que é relevante e meritório é tangível e facilmente captado por indicadores no tempo e na intensidade que se espera avaliar
Sethico: um corpo negro num mundo branco (ensaio artístico)
Authors: Montenegro Wagner
Published: October 2022

Demorei 30 anos para entender que vivo num corpo negro. Não que eu não soubesse que a minha pele é mais escura que a da minha mãe, pessoa que sempre foi a minha referência do que é mundo. Eu sabia que a pele dela era branca e que a minha não. Mas achava que, nos lugares onde estivesse, sempre existiria alguém mais negro do que eu. Alguém para quem eu pudesse apontar e dizer: “Ele é negro, eu não!”. Era a minha tentativa de escapar das estruturas do racismo. Mas eu não escapava, e nem sempre encontrava alguém para apontar. Eu era apontado.

Published: October 2022

This paper presents a case study of the setpoint tracking performance of the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller on the Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) and Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) nonlinear digital plants under Gaussian white noise and constant load disturbance for the nonlinear time-delay dynamic system. With the objective of getting a better understanding of the nonlinear discrete-time PID controller, we proposed a case study using two SISO and two MIMO digital plants, and then do the numerical simulations along with the addition of Gaussian white noise and load disturbance to simulate the real environment. In this paper, we compare the results of the system working with and without noise and load disturbance. The study result of this paper shows that on the discrete-time digital nonlinear plant, the PID controller is working well to follow the nonlinear setpoint even under heavy noise and load disturbance. The study compared the performance indexes of the controllers in terms of the maximum error, the Root mean square error (RMSE), the Integral square error (ISE), the Integral absolute error (IAE), and the Integral of time-weighted absolute error (ITAE).

The application of health protocols in educational, office, or industrial environments can be made by changing old habits that can spread COVID-19. One of them is the habit of recording attendance, which still requires direct physical contact. In this research, an attendance system based on facial recognition, body temperature checks, and mask use using the multi-task cascaded convolutional neural network (MTCNN) has been developed. This research aims to integrate a facial recognition system, a mask detection system, and body temperature reading into an attendance recording system without the need for direct physical contact. The attendance system offered in this study can minimize the spread of COVID-19. So, it has enormous potential for use in educational, office, and industrial environments. The focus of this research is to create an attendance system by integrating the application of face recognition, body temperature, and the use of masks using a pre-trained model. Based on the research results, an attendance system was successfully developed where the results of face recognition, mask detection, and body temperature were displayed on the machine screen and attendance platform. Facial recognition testing on the original LFW dataset has an accuracy of 66.45%. The accuracy of the dataset reaches 92-100%.  In addition, the intelligent attendance platform has been successfully developed with user management, machine service, and attendance service features. The results of the attendance record are successfully displayed on the platform or through the download feature.

This research project aimed to provide an environmentally friendly method for the decolorization and biosorption of synthetic dye by utilizing fungi as biosorbents. The study was carried out by first growing the fungi in solid medium and then using the fungi as biosorbent to absorb dye in aqueous solution. In the first stage, screening experiments were carried out among 5 different types of fungi, and Pleurotus ostreatus was determined to have the highest growth rate. The Pleurotus ostreatus was recultivated with Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye to determine its dye removal ability. Pleurotus ostreatus sp. exhibited vigorous dye decolorization in agar medium within 2 days. By carrying out batch analysis, 4 parameters were examined, which were the effect of pH, surfactant concentration (Tween 80), salinity concentration and dosage of biosorbent. The results showed that the maximum dye decolourization by Pleurotus ostreatus can be achieved through establishing an acidic condition of pH 2, addition of 0.1mL of Tween 80, 0mg/l of sodium chloride concentration, and dosage of 8 plugs. Lastly, the experimental data was found to fit the Jovanovic Isotherm the most. In conclusion, Pleurotus ostreatus is capable of decolourizing and adsorbing dye particles in the dye aqueous solution.
Effects of Effluents’ Discharge from Some Paint Industries on Soil’s Physicochemical Properties and Bioattenuation of Polluted Soil

Published: October 2022

Rapid population growth resulting in industrial proliferation and urbanization has led to the rapid increase in pollution of the environment. Paint industries in urban areas mostly channel their wastewater into streams and on land, which results in the pollution of the receiving environment. This study aims to determine the impact of effluent discharges from paint industries on the soils’ physicochemical properties and the clean-up of the polluted soil through monitored natural attenuation. Composite samples of paint-effluents and soils were collected from paint industries. Their bioattenuation levels and changes in their physicochemical properties were monitored over a six-month period. Fungal isolates from the effluents include Saccharomyces cerevisiae (20%), Rhodotorula species (15%), Aspergillus niger (25%), Aspergillus flavus (15%), and Penicillum notatum (25%), while the bacterial isolates include Staphylococcus aureus (30%), Bacillus sp. (20%), Klebsiella sp.(15%), Escherichia coli (15%), Salmonella sp. (10%), and Staphylococcus species (10%). The effluents showed slightly alkaline pH values while the soils showed slightly acidic pH values. There were significant reductions in the heavy metal contents of the effluent polluted soils as remediation time increased, thus reducing the toxicity of such soil environments. Monitored natural-attenuation methods should be employed and improved as a means of reducing the toxicity of effluents on the environment since they are cheap and effective compared to other methods.

Életszentség és aszkézis: Árpád-házi Szent Margit (1242–1270)
Authors: Kerékjártó Ágnes , Klima Gyula
Published: October 2022

Árpád-házi Szent Margit olyan korban született, amikor Magyarországnak égető szüksége volt kimagasló egyéniségekre. A tatárjárás idején, 1242. január 27-én jött a világra IV. Béla (1206–1270) magyar király és Laszkarisz Mária (1206–1270) bizánci császári hercegnő kilencedik gyermekeként. Születését tragikus történelmi és családi események előzték meg. 1241. április 11-én a muhi csatában odaveszett az ország. Béla király lóhalálában kényszerült menekülni és Babenberg Frigyes (1211–1246) osztrák hercegnél keresett segítséget. Frigyes azonban védelem helyett kirabolta és megzsarolta őt. Szövetségesének árulása után Béla feleségével, hat leánygyermekével és István fiával Zágráb felé indult tovább. Útközben öccse, Kálmán herceg belehalt a Muhinál szerzett súlyos sérüléseibe. A hős herceget titokban temették el a csázmai [Čazma, Horvátország] Mária Magdolna domonkos kolostorban. Béla maradék híveitől védelmezve, az Adriai-tenger felé folytatta útját, nyomában Kadán kán üldöző seregével. Végül a dalmáciai Klissza [Klis, Horvátország] sziklavárában helyezte biztonságba családját. Itt pestisjárvány tört ki, amit két leányuk, a tizenhárom éves Katalin és a tizenhat éves Margit nem élt túl. Közös kőkoporsóban helyezték őket örök nyugalomra a spalatói [Split, Horvátország] katedrálisban. Pusztulásra ítélt ország, életveszély, betegség és halál sötét árnya borult az uralkodói családra, miközben a királyné gyermeket várt. A vészterhes körülmények emberi közelségbe hozzák elhatározásukat: születendő gyermeküket, amennyiben leány lesz, Istennek ajánlják maguk és Magyarország megszabadításáért.
A korai királyi hatalom a Kárpát-medencében és néhány érdekes összefüggése
Authors: Kovács Attila
Published: October 2022

Köztudott, hogy a Koppány fölötti győzelem elhozta a magyar keresztény királyság megteremtését, ami a térségben kulcsszerepet játszó Kárpát-medence kulturális irányváltását is véglegessé tette. Az a hatalmi közeg, amelybe a magyar elit került – élén az uralkodó nemzetségével – egy Európában már hegemón helyzetbe került struktúrát jelentett, amelynek megkerülhetetlen része volt a kereszténység. Ez a hatalmi modell viszont jelentős változáson ment keresztül, mire elérte térben a Visztula–Kárpátok vonalat, időben pedig a Nyugatrómai Birodalom összeomlásától eljutott az ezredfordulóig.
Szent László emlékek a Felvidéken
Authors: Kovács László
Published: October 2022

Szent Lászlóról teljes bizonyossággal mondhatjuk, hogy ma is élő alakja történelmünknek, hisz halálát több mint kilencszáz évvel egész bizonyosan túlélte alapításaiban, intézményeiben, emlékben, hagyományban, krónikában, legendában, mondában, himnuszokban, képzőművészeket, költőket, írókat, történészeket és filozófusokat ihlető erőben. Szent Lászlót a szentté avatásakor 1192-ben készült legendájának írója Szent István mellé állítja és a következőképpen értékeli történelmi szerepét: „Midőn uralkodott, egész Pannónia annyira rendezett s meggyarapodva virágzott, hogy boldog István ideje óta soha még ilyen csodálatosan nem csillogott. Magyarország kezdte rangban és dicsőségben szinte valamennyi országot felülmúlni.” Ha Szent Istvánt országalapítónak nevezzük, akkor Szent Lászlót méltán nevezhetjük országmegtartónak. Szent László trónra kerülésével véget ért az a korszak, mely a Szent István megalapította állam legzavarosabb időszaka volt, állandó trónviszályokkal, pogánylázadásokkal, a függetlenséget veszélyeztető nyugati és főleg keleti támadásokkal. László még hercegként védte meg a keleti besenyő támadástól az ország függetlenségét. Egyik ilyen győzelméhez, a kerlési csatához kapcsolódik a magyar lány megmentése a kun rablótól.
Szent István király kultusza a magyar néphagyományban
Authors: Lukács László
Published: October 2022

Államalapító, egyházszervező királyunk életében és a halálát követő évtizedekben a pogánysághoz, az ősi magyar hitvilághoz ragaszkodó tömegek körében nem volt népszerű. Életében és közvetlenül halála után népmondák aligha keletkezhettek róla. Az 1083-ban szentté avatott királynak azonban ezer esztendőn át igen erős volt az egyházi hagyományból, a rá vonatkozó legendákból szétsugárzó tisztelete. A későbbi királyok és a nemesség is gondosan ápolta az államszervező király személyéhez, cselekedeteihez, törvényeihez és a magyar koronához kapcsolódó hagyományokat.
Az Árpád-ház genetikai kutatásának eddigi és a jövőben várható eredményei
Authors: Neparáczki Endre

A korai magyar történelem két, kétségkívül kiemelkedő alakja Álmos és fia, Árpád fejedelem, akiknek a nevéhez fűződik a Kárpát-medence birtokba vétele és a magyar központi hatalom kiépítése. Sikeres politikájuknak köszönhetően azonban nem csak a későbbi keresztény Magyar Királyság alapjait tették le, de nevükhöz köthető az első, közel 300 éven keresztül uralkodó magyar királyi dinasztia, az Árpád-ház (vagy ahogy Kézai Simon nevezte, Turul nemzetség) kezdete is. Szerepük tehát kiemelten fontos volt a magyarságtudat formálását illetően, ami a középkori magyar írott forrásokban is nyomon követhető. A forráskritikai vizsgálatok számos bizonytalan tényezőt tártak fel. Emiatt ezeknek az információknak a hitelessége, megítélése nem egységes, máig elméleti viták tárgyát képezi. A dinamikus technikai fejlődésnek is köszönhetően a korai magyar történet és a kiemelt családok eredetének vizsgálatába az utóbbi évtizedben az archeogenetika tudományága is bekapcsolódott, amelynek tárgya az emberi DNS vizsgálata.
Az Árpád-kori pecséthasználatról
Authors: Novák Ádám
Published: October 2022

Az oklevelek megerősítésére szolgáló pecsétek az írott és a tárgyi források sajátos mezsgyéjén helyet foglaló kútfők. Nélkülözhetetlen kiindulási pontjai voltak az Árpád-kori történelem vizsgálatának. Az Aranybulla, mely legfontosabb középkori jogbiztosító oklevelünk, nevét a hitelesítéséül szolgáló aranypecsétről nyerte. A királyi pecsétek a numizmatikai vizsgálatok eredményeivel összevetve lehetővé tették a kutatóknak a magyar királyok heraldikai programjának rekonstruálását. Az egyházi személyek és intézmények pecsétjei fontos forrást biztosítanak a művészettörténészek számára: segítségükkel vizsgálni tudják az Árpád-kor egyes művészeti stílusainak változását. A világi tisztségviselők pecsétjei betekintést nyújtanak egy-egy ősi nemzetség címerhasználatába, ezen lenyomatok gyűjtése pedig fontos családtörténeti adalékokat szolgáltat a kifejezetten gyér forrásadottságokkal rendelkező korszaknak. Jelen tanulmány éppen ezért nem vállalkozhat arra, hogy részleteiben ismertesse az Árpád-kori pecséthasználat kialakulását, fejlődését és egyes vetületeit. Szerencsére ezt a munkát az utóbbi évszázadok történeti kutatása kielégítő mélységben elvégezte, köszönhetően a jezsuita történetírók gyűjtőmunkájának, a magyar diplomatika és a szfragisztika letéteményeseinek, a művészettörténeti kutatásoknak és a társtudományok, mint numizmatika, genealógia, archontológia, heraldika művelőinek. Azon túl, hogy ezen sorok írója nem alkalmas egy ilyen szintézis megírására, a tanulmány terjedelmi korlátai is gátat szabnak ennek. Ezért az alábbiakban röviden ismertetjük a pecsét fogalmát, típusait. Összefoglalóan és nem a teljesség igényével értekezünk az uralkodói pecsétekről, valamint az egyházi és világi személyek pecsételési szokásairól.
Székesfehérvár topográfiai fejlődése az Árpád-korban
Authors: Reich Szabina
Published: October 2022

Fehérvár a kora Árpád-korban a rendelkezésünkre álló történeti és régészeti adatok alapján egy korai uralmi központból/erődből (mai II. János Pál pápa tér és környéke) állt a hozzátartozó váraljával (suburbium), valamint részét képezte a prépostság is a birtokrészével együtt. Egyelőre nem lehet eldönteni, hogy a II. János Pál pápa téri erődítmény vagy a későbbi Castrum fallal körbevett területe alakult-e ki korábban. Alba Civitas a 12. századtól egyre nagyobb mértékben urbanizálódó település képét mutatta az itt megjelenő idegen kereskedőknek, zarándokoknak és a letelepedő latinoknak köszönhetően. A megnövekedett lakosságszám és a gazdasági prosperitás következtében a Castrum körül külvárosok alakultak ki, de az állandó támadásoknak kitett telepek topográfiájáról többnyire csak szórványos késő középkori források maradtak fenn.
A keresztes hadjáratok és az Árpád-kori Magyar Királyság diplomáciai kölcsönhatásai
Authors: Terplán Zoltán
Published: October 2022

Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy felvázolja a latin kereszténységhez tartozó Árpád-kori Magyar Királyság és a keresztes hadjáratok diplomáciai kölcsönhatását 1018-tól, a Jeruzsálem felé Magyarországon át vezető zarándokút Szent István által történt megnyitásától kezdve az 1220-as évekig, II. András Szentföldre vezetett hadjáratának befejezéséig. Mivel a terjedelmi korlátok nem teszik lehetővé a korszak öt keresztes hadjárata egészének részletes áttekintését, ezért három, meghatározó fontosságú eseményt emelnék ki. A Jeruzsálem felé vezető szárazföldi zarándokút megnyitása körüli diplomáciatörténeti áttekintés után az első keresztes hadjárat témáját, hiszen a közel két évszázadig tar tó, az egész keresztény világot megmozgató eseménysornak ez volt a kezdete, amely egybeesett az Árpád-ház kiemelkedő uralkodója, I. (Könyves) Kálmán uralkodásának kezdetével. Ezután következik a harmadik keresztes hadjárat diplomáciatörténeti áttekintése, amelyben III. Béla király a középkori magyar történelem sikeres időszakában is kiemelkedően meghatározó politikai szerepet játszott: a magyar uralkodó egy komoly katonai konfliktus lehetőségét is magában hordozó helyzetet oldott meg I. Frigyes német-római és II. Iszaakiosz bizánci császár között. A harmadik téma a II. András vezette ötödik keresztes hadjárat diplomáciatörténeti áttekintése: ez nemcsak az Aranybullát kiadó uralkodó személye miatt jelentős, hanem azért is, mert ez volt a keresztes hadjáratok között az utolsó, amelyben az Árpád-kori Magyar Királyság közvetlenül is részt vett.

A Anemia Falciforme foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1910 por James Herrick.  Acredita-se que a doença tenha origem de distintas populações asiáticas e africanas e é mais prevalente em populações do continente africano. É a alteração hematológica hereditária de maior incidência no mundo, o resultado da mistura de raças diferentes ao longo dos anos. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a prevalência do traço falcêmico em doadores de sangue do Hemocentro Regional de Araguaína-TO. Foram analisados os dados dos indivíduos que doaram sangue ao Hemocentro de Araguaína no período de 2010 a 2017, totalizando 51.870 registros.  Dos 51.870 prontuários analisados, 733 foram identificados como positivo para o traço falciforme (1,41%), sendo que, desses, 505 (68,89%) eram do sexo masculino e 228 (31,11%) do sexo feminino. A maior prevalência de casos positivos ocorreu no ano de 2010 com um número de 186 (2,57%) casos. A prevalência encontrada nesse trabalho demonstra que há um baixo número de pessoas com o traço falciforme entre os doadores analisados.
Socket shield technique versus conventional immediate implant placement in thin buccofacial bone to evaluate buccal bone resorption
Authors: Mattar Abdullah Abdou , Shoaib Mona Aly , El Nahass Hany , El Sayed Hakem
Published: October 2022

Objectives: The alveolar ridge resorbs and collapses following tooth removal which continues to be a major concern for practitioners. Many researchers concluded that buccal aspect of the ridge is more prone to resorption, as it is primarily supplied by the periodontal tissues and ligaments of the tooth1. Recently, several papers were published concerning the socket shield technique explaining how to maintain the ridge width and height. Socket shield technique aids at retaining the buccal fragment of root in place thus placing the implant behind the lingual aspect of that fragment so as aid in preventing the collapsing of the buccal bone. This would help in improving aesthetics especially during immediate implant placement in the anterior maxillary region (schroop et al, 2003). Materials and Methods: The patient passed through phase I therapy (Supragingival scaling, subgingival debridement and oral hygiene instructions) before any surgical procedures.
On a Theorem of Cooper
Authors: S Sundar
Published: October 2022

The classical result of Cooper states that every pure strongly continuous semigroup of isometries $\{V_t\}_{t \geq 0}$ on a Hilbert space is unitarily equivalent to the shift semigroup on $L^{2}([0,\infty))$ with some multiplicity. The purpose of this note is to record a proof which has an algebraic flavour. The proof is based on the groupoid approach to semigroups of isometries initiated in [8]. We also indicate how our proof can be adapted to the Hilbert module setting and gives another proof of the main result of [3].

Giyimin örtünme ihtiyacı ile başladığı, günümüzde ise moda çerçevesinde değişik tarzlara yön verdiği bilinmektedir. Bu durum çeşitlilik ihtiyacını doğurmuş ve tasarımlarda farklı tarz ve yönlerin etkileşimde bulunmasını sağlamıştır. Bu bakış açısından hareketle iki farklı giyim kültürünü eşleştirerek ortaya yeni bir ürün çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, sadeliği ve kullanım alanının genişliğiyle Güney Amerika kültürüne ait “And Pançosu” ile Bizans kostümlerinin gösteriş ve ihtişamını yansıtan “Bizans Pelerini” kullanılmıştır. Bu iki kültürün etkileşimi ile tasarımı yapılan yeni ürüne “Panlerin” adı verilmiştir. “Panlerin” tasarımında iki uygarlığın etkileri yansıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. Literatür taraması yöntemi ile farklı kültür ve bu kültürleri yansıtan kıyafetler incelenerek çalışılmak istenen medeniyetler ve tasarım kriterleri belirlenmiştir. İncelemeler sonucunda ortaya çıkan unsurlar bağlamında tasarımın oluşturulması için eskiz çizimi ile başlayan tasarım sürecini artistik çizim ve teknik çizim takip etmiş olup, akabinde drapaj yöntemi ile kalıbı oluşturulan tasarımın dikim işlemleri yapılmıştır. Tasarımın temasını yansıtan hikâye ve renk panosu hazırlanarak, esinlenilen görseller ve renkler ile dikimi yapılan tasarımın son hali moodboard üzerinde gösterilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, giyim kültürünün; ülkelerin gelişmişlik düzeyi ile paralel doğrultuda seyrettiği görülmektedir. Coğrafi konum ve iklim şartları da giyimi etkileyen faktörler arasında yer almaktadır. Örtünme ihtiyacı zamanla ihtiyaç halinden çıkarak yerini statü göstergesi ya da dönemsel moda akımlarına bırakmıştır.

Published: October 2022

Pierre-Robin Sequence is a developmental anomaly characterized by the triad of mandibular micrognathia, cleft palate, and glossoptosis. Neonates born with a cleft palate have difficulty in feeding that is further complicated by nasal regurgitation of food, excessive air intake, choking and recurrent aspiration pneumonitis. Due to difficulty in feeding, child’s growth can be affected. To combat these problems, different feeding interventions such as maternal advice and support, modified bottles, Orogastric/nasogastric tubes and feeding obturators, etc have been advocated. However, there is evidence of delay in the growth of children with a cleft as compared to those without clefting. The article describes the importance of measuring growth parameters to evaluate the growth of cleft palate patients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The comparison of crestal bone loss in relation to implants placed using conventional drilling osteotomy method and using bone expansion screws in maxillary region. METHODS: The crestal bone loss was measured after implant placement and after a period of six months, and the results analyzed. Equal number of male and female patients of comparable age group who opted implant treatment were selected.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: After a period of six months of implant placement, a mean value of 1.37 mm of crestal bone loss was noticed for implants placed using conventional osteotomy method while a mean of 0.73 was noticed in relation to implants placed using expansion screws.CONCLUSION: The implants placed using bone expansion screws show less crestal bone loss compared to implants placed using conventional osteotomy method in maxillary edentulous ridge having less than ideal bone width. It infers that the bone expansion method using expansion screws is more reliable and relatively noninvasive way of implant bed preparation.

INTRODUCTION: - Health is an aspect of life that is essentially one of the important factors in basic human performance. Health contributes to general well-being and overall lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle was measured by factors like diet, exercise, habits and sleep. The benefits of these are essential for enhancing healthy body as well as mental and physical fitness. It boosts the immune system, build confidence, reduce and relieve stress and improve learning & mental health [3]. Many people due to the stressful lifestyles, are prone to indulge into habits of smocking and consuming alcohol or chewing betel nut, which are detrimental to their lifestyle and eventually their performance at workplace. Sleep is another major aspect in a person’s health. College students have been found to be a population that does not get enough sleep. [4] Lack of sleeping results in a decreased student’s ability to perform during exams [5]. This study examined the perception of post graduate students from Dental College. The main purpose of this study is to explore the major lifestyle factors among college students and the influence on their health. MATERIAL AND METHODS: - The study was conducted among Dental postgraduate students of all specialties of Dentistry in Maharashtra. Approximately 250 students will be participating in the study, in an effort to examine their perception about a healthy lifestyle and its effect on their health. Information will be collected via a lifestyle questionnaire [2]. CONCLUSION:- We conclude from this study that a high percentage of the post graduates students in dental colleges are not aware about the results of unhealthy behavior, which may cause different health problems. Although few students are engaging towards modern healthy lifestyles
