Authors:   TopSeti, Sukhorukov M.E.
Published: September 2024

Russian companies have been actively pursuing digital transformation over the past fi ve years, using new technologies such as cloud services, robotics and artifi cial intelligence. These changes are dictated by new conditions, including the penetration of cloud technologies into all sectors of the economy, the growth of robotization and the rapid development of artifi cial intelligence. The national project “Digital Economy” defi nes the main directions, and since its launch in 2019, many changes have been noted in various areas, including industry, agriculture, trade, healthcare and education. There is an increase in demand for automation and intellectualization of information services in order to reduce costs. Trends include the use of open source codes in Russian IT applications, which provides the opportunity for collaboration and exchange of experience between developers from diff erent companies, accelerating technology development. There are a number of problems associated with updating business applications in non-existent small companies, diffi culties in maintaining computing devices and incompatibility of randomly purchased software, as well as diffi culties in administering and ensuring the security of heterogeneous segmented networks. Currently, Russia is undergoing a large-scale restructuring of the economy in accordance with world standards. It is important not only to transform companies and organizations into a digital format, but also to use domestic components and software for this. However, at the moment there are no analogues of some products, and entrepreneurs, under conditions of sanctions and restrictions, are actively looking for solutions, including permitted parallel imports of foreign IT equipment.

THEATER’S OF THE NADAZOVYA REGION DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Demidko O.
Published: September 2024

The article highlights the peculiarities of the theaters of Nadazov during the Second World War. The path of actors who became direct participants in military operations is outlined. The influence of the Mariupol Society «Prosvita» on the development of theatrical art in the region is analyzed. The repertoire, creative searches of the director and the cast during the Nazi occupation are covered. In particular, the activity of the Mariupol Music and Drama Theater named after T. Shevchenko. The repertoire of theaters, which consisted mainly of Ukrainian plays, the activities of the children's puppet theater and the holding of evenings in memory of Ukrainian writers, poets, and composers served to relieve the psychological stress of the residents of the region. If for the occupation regime the theater had a propaganda value, then for the residents of the region it served as a widespread practice of survival, was able to revive Ukrainian culture, and satisfied the basic needs of the population for information and artistic impressions. The dramatic section of the Mariupol «Prosvita» had a considerable influence on the development of theatrical art in the region. Director of the Mariupol Theater named after T. Shevchenko and Sofya Zavyalova, head of the drama section "Prosvity", actively worked on the issue of training professional drama personnel. It is emphasized that theatrical life in the liberated Northern Azov region in 1943–1945 had its own peculiarities. After the liberation of the region from the German invaders, the Mariupol Drama Theater resumed its activities, successfully holding concerts and performances for wounded soldiers, workers of the rebuilt city, and officers who went to the front. Despite the difficult conditions in which the Mariupol Drama Theater worked, the actors, thanks to their rich repertoire, contributed to the preservation of the spiritual and moral values of the audience and carried out active charitable activities for wounded soldiers and officers. The place of the theater in the cultural life of the residents of the region is defined. The scientific novelty of the article is due to the inclusion of new factual material from the history of Ukrainian theater into the scientific circulation. Key words: theater, Nadazovya, German occupation, audience, repertoire, Ukrainian culture, "Enlightenment".
GLOBAL TRENDS IN SEXUALITY EDUCATION OF SCHOOLCHILDREN
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Zoska Y. , Babenko V. ,   Mariupol State University
Published: September 2024

The article analyzes the peculiarities of development, main problems, and penetration of global trends in sexuality education in Ukraine. Despite the widely recognized importance of sexual health, sexual health education remains a sensitive and sometimes controversial issue. At the heart of the social conflicts surrounding sex education programs are disagreements over the role of government in family life and sex education; parental control over the content of sex education; the core values that should be included in sex education, such as gender equality and personal responsibility; and, essentially, what constitutes acceptable sexual behavior for adolescents. Liberal and conservative views on how to properly conduct sex education remain very different. Central to the disagreement over sex education are questions about the basic prerequisites and content of sex education, and who is best able to provide it, i.e. whether parents or schools should be the primary teachers of sex education. Many young people approach adulthood with conflicting and confusing messages about sexuality and gender. This is often exacerbated by embarrassment, silence and disapproval of open discussion of sexuality by adults, including parents and teachers, at a time when it is most needed. There are many contexts around the world where young people are becoming sexually mature and active at an earlier age. They also marry later, thus lengthening the period from puberty to marriage. The process of sexuality education continues throughout life, but it is most important in childhood and adolescence. It should be relevant for different age groups at different social levels, as sexuality is a key issue in the lives of all people. Key words: sexual education, sexual behavior, sexuality, sex, human sexual development, sexual health

Published: September 2024

Os medicamentos psicotrópicos são considerados muito seguros, no entanto, o grande problema é seu uso exacerbado e irracional, visto que, eles podem ocasionar dependência física ou psíquica. Tanto a prescrição quando a venda de psicotrópicos é determinada por notificação de receita e controle especial, entretanto, é notável o aumento no número de indivíduos que fazem uso com e sem indicação médica, principalmente, estudantes da área da saúde. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar o perfil de uso de psicotrópicos por estudantes universitários da área da saúde de uma instituição de ensino superior (IES). Foi realizado um estudo de natureza observacional e quantitativo em um grupo de estudantes de 18 a 70 anos. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário entre os meses de maio e junho de 2024. O questionário foi respondido presencialmente na IES em Maringá/PR e os dados foram avaliados através de estatísticas descritiva simples. Dentre os entrevistados 24,9% responderam fazer ou já ter feito o uso de medicamentos psicotrópicos. O índice daqueles que relataram se automedicar foi de 26,0%. A automedicação pode gerar sérios riscos à saúde, estes estudantes devem ser assistidos e orientados por profissionais de saúde qualificados como médicos e farmacêuticos para a adequação do melhor medicamento, dose e minimização dos efeitos adversos. O presente trabalho acende um alerta aos órgãos públicos e para as IES e incentiva a elaboração de campanhas e políticas públicas voltadas para conscientização sobre os riscos da automedicação diretamente no ambiente universitário.

Published: September 2024

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular anomalies with high risks of hemorrhage and neurological deficits. The evolution of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) represents a significant advancement in their management, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical approaches. This study aims to evaluate recent developments in SRS techniques for treating AVMs by conducting an integrative literature review. Utilizing the PICO strategy, a systematic search was performed across databases like LILACS, MEDLINE, and SCIELO, focusing on clinical trials, observational studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews. The analysis revealed that while microsurgical excision remains a definitive approach, SRS—particularly with advanced systems like Gamma Knife, Linac, CyberKnife, and Zap-X—has shown promising results in reducing hemorrhage rates and lesion volumes with lower complications. The findings indicate that SRS, bolstered by improved imaging and radiation precision, provides a viable alternative to invasive methods, though its effectiveness varies among different systems. This review underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in AVM management, emphasizing tailored treatment strategies based on lesion characteristics and patient-specific factors.

Comparison of shear bond strength of different types of intracanal posts in restoring extensively damaged primary anterior teeth
Authors: Asghari Mollabashi Shabnam , Nourmohamadi Shima , Nakhostin Afrooz
Published: September 2024

Background. Severe caries in early childhood is a concern for both children receiving dental treatment and their parents. This dental disease progresses rapidly and quickly damages the coronal part of the tooth. When there is insufficient coronal structure to support a coronal restoration, using intracanal components following root canal treatment increases tooth resistance and helps provide retention for the coronal restoration. This study compared the shear bond strength of three types of intracanal posts (composite resin post, reverse metal post, and fiber post) in severely damaged primary anterior teeth. Methods. This in vitro study was conducted on 30 extracted anterior primary teeth with at least two-thirds of healthy roots and no prior pulp treatment. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups of 10: group 1: composite resin post with 8th generation universal bonding, group 2: reverse metal post with GC restorative glass cement, and group 3: fiber post with GC restorative glass cement. After placing the post, the samples were restored with a height of 3 mm from cementoenamel junction (CEJ) using an Anterior GC Gradia Packable composite resin. All the samples underwent 500 cycles of thermocycling in a hot water bath at 55±2 °C and a cold water bath at 5±2 °C. The shear strength of the samples was then evaluated using an electromechanical universal testing machine at a rate of 1 mm/min and at a location 2 mm coronal to the CEJ in terms of megapascals. Results. The average shear bond strength of composite resin posts with 8th generation bonding application was 8.02220 MPa, reverse metal posts with glass ionomer application was 13.8600 MPa, and fiber posts with glass ionomer application was 9.7400 MPa. Conclusion. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the highest shear bond strength in this study was related to the reverse metal post, and the lowest shear bond strength was related to the composite resin post. According to the results, reverse metal posts demonstrated better shear bond strength than composite resin posts and fiber posts (P<0.05).

Authors: Al-Sabawi Nawal A. , Al-Jubori Sawsan Hameed
Published: September 2024

Background. The sealer’s interfacial adaptability is one of the critical factors for successful root canal therapy. This study evaluated and compared the interfacial adaptability of newly prepared nano-tricalcium silicate-58s bioactive glass-based endodontic sealer (C3 S-BG-P) to root dentin with two bioactive sealers Nishika Canal Sealer BG and BioRootTM RCS. Methods. Thirty newly extracted single-rooted lower premolars were decoronated and instrumented. The roots were assigned to three groups: C3 S-BG-P, Nishika Canal Sealer BG, and BioRootTM RCS (n=10) and obturated with the single-cone method. Each root was sectioned horizontally to obtain three slices at 2, 5, and 10 mm from the apex. The width of the gaps at the sealer‒dentin interface from each section’s mesial and distal sides was measured under a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) at×1.0 using the Digimizer software program. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests for multiple comparisons were used to interpret and analyze the collected data. Results. The mean gap width at the sealer‒dentin interface of C3 S-BG-P and Nishika Canal Sealer BG was significantly less than that of BioRootTM RCS at all root sections (P≤0.05). However, the mean gap width at the sealer‒dentin interface of C3 S-BG-P was not significantly different from Nishika Canal Sealer BG (P>0.05). Moreover, there were greater interfacial gaps at the apical level than at the coronal level for all the tested sealers. Conclusion. C3 S-BG-P exhibited interfacial adaptation that was nearly comparable to Nishika Canal Sealer BG and superior to BioRootTM RCS.

Authors: Dharani Kalaiselvan , Kshirsagar Jaishree Tukaram , Thangavel Priyangha
Published: September 2024

Background. Applying autologous growth factors and diode laser in periodontal therapy enhances fibroblast-mediated new attachment and osteoblastic differentiation. Hence, this study compared and evaluated the effectiveness of concentrated growth factor (CGF) alone and with diode laser application in managing intrabony periodontal defects. Methods. Ten patients with stage III periodontitis were included in this study. All the patients underwent an open flap debridement (OFD) procedure followed by CGF membrane placement in the intrabony defect in site A, whereas, in site B, after OFD, all the patients underwent diode laser irradiation before CGF membrane placement. Plaque and gingival bleeding index (PI & GBI), PPD, and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated at baseline and 3 and 6 months later. Bone fill (BF), BF%, bone crest changes (BCC), and BCC% were assessed radiographically at six months postoperatively. Results. Significant reductions in PI and GBI scores, probing pocket depth (PPD), and CAL gain were observed at both sites 3 and 6 months from baseline. A significant reduction in PPD and CAL gain was noted between sites, which were higher in site B than in site A with a mean difference of 0.70±0.05 mm and 1.30±0.18 mm, 0.90±1.89 mm at 3 and 6 months, respectively. Radiographic measurement showed better BF, BF%, BCC, and BCC% at both sites at six months, which were higher at site B than at site A but statistically insignificant. Conclusion. The combination of CGF and diode laser application has demonstrated successful and promising results in terms of regeneration, improving the clinical and radiographic parameters.

Background. This study explored the layperson’s perception of comfort, satisfaction, and willingness to use various accessories in clear aligner therapy. Methods. A total of 267 people analyzed standardized intraoral photographs of a female model in orthodontic treatment using: 1) only clear aligner (CA), the control group; 2) clear aligner+attachments (AT); 3) clear aligners+Cl II elastics (EL); 4) clear aligner+hybrid treatment with esthetic braces (HEB); 5) Clear aligner+hybrid treatment with metallic braces (HMB); 6) clear aligner+mini-implants (MI); 7) clear aligner+mini-implants and elastics for intrusion (MIE). In addition, a social media questionnaire was distributed to assess the willingness to undergo orthodontic treatment with various accessories. Results. There was a significant difference between CA and all the other groups (P<0.001), with CA being considered more comfortable and providing greater satisfaction compared to other accessories. Moreover, AT showed a significant difference in reducing treatment time compared to other groups. Conclusion. The CA was the most comfortable, exhibiting a higher satisfaction rate and a greater willingness to use it. The AT therapy was perceived as more comfortable and was associated with higher satisfaction and a greater likelihood of use, especially if it resulted in reduced treatment time. On the other hand, the participants reported that the HMB, MI, and MIE accessories were less comfortable.

Background. Synthetic fibers have many benefits in clinical practice; however, they cause microplastic pollution, and their unaffordable price increases treatment costs. Natural silk fibers require biocompatibility assessment. This study investigated the effects of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) on the cytotoxicity of fibroblast cell lines. Methods. Three commercial synthetic fibers (polyethylene, quartz, and E-glass) and two silk fibers from Bombyx mori and Samia ricini cocoons were employed. These fibers were made into FRC samples (n=6) by impregnation in flowable composite using a brass mold (25×2×2 mm). NIH/3T3 mouse fibroblasts were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium, supplemented, and seeded in 2×104 cells/mL. They were stored at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The FRC samples were made into powder, eluted in dimethylsulfoxide, continued with PBS, supplemented with Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM), and exposed to cells for 24 hours. Blank (medium only) and control (cells and medium) samples were included. Subsequently, MTT was added for 4 h and read by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (λ=570 nm). Cell viability (%) was calculated and analyzed using one-way ANOVA (α=0.05). Results. All groups of FRCs showed>80% cell viability. One-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between FRC groups regarding the viability of fibroblast cell lines (P>0.05). Conclusion. Both natural silk and synthetic fibers exhibit low cytotoxicity to fibroblast cell lines. B. mori and S. ricini silk fibers showed the potential to be used as alternative synthetic fibers.

Published: September 2024

This review aims to collate and analyze the existing evidence on the comparison of external apical root resorption (EARR) in subjects treated with clear aligners (CAs) and fixed appliances (FA). An electronic search was conducted in six databases for articles published in all languages until July 2023. Studies that evaluated EARR in subjects treated with CAs and FAs were included. The RoB 2 tool for RCTs and the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies were used to analyze the risk of bias (ROB). A random effects meta-analysis was performed to assess EARR extent in maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth for subjects treated with CAs and FAs. Ten studies (eight retrospective, one RCT, and one CCT) were included in this review, out of which six studies reported a moderate ROB, one reported a serious ROB, and three reported a low ROB on qualitative analysis. The quantitative analysis of six studies revealed a significant intergroup difference (P<0.05) in the mean EARR for maxillary central (SMD=-0.62, P<0.00001) and lateral incisors (SMD=-0.47, P=0.01) with a moderate heterogeneity (I2=56%), as well as the mandibular central incisors (SMD=-0.27, P=0.04) with high heterogeneity (I2=79%). EARR was lower in subjects treated with CAs than FAs. A moderate quality of the available evidence suggests that EARR was less evident in subjects treated with CAs when compared with FAs.

Background. This study assessed the effect of repeated preheating of three types of composite resins and a giomer on their color stability. Methods. In this in vitro study, 128 composite resin and giomer specimens with a 10-mm diameter and a 2-mm height were evaluated in eight groups (n=16) of Heliomolar microfilled, Brilliant Enamel microhybrid, and Tetric N-Ceram nanohybrid composite resins, and Beautifil II giomer used at room temperature and also after preheating of the tube in a water bath at 55‒60 °C for 40 times. After preparing the specimens, their color parameters were measured by a spectrophotometer. The specimens were immersed in a tea solution for 3 hours/day for 40 days and underwent spectrophotometric color assessment again. The color change (∆E) was calculated and analyzed by two-way ANOVA (α=0.05). Results. The effects of composite resin type (P<0.001) and preheating (P<0.001) and their interaction effect (P<0.001) were significant on ∆E. Immersion in a tea solution caused a significantly greater color change in giomer (P<0.05). The ∆E of the microfilled composite resin was significantly higher than that of nanohybrid (P=0.003) and microhybrid composite resin (P=0.004). Conclusion. Repeated preheating of giomer, microhybrid, and nanohybrid composite resin specimens to 55‒60 °C for 40 times adversely affected their color stability in the tea solution. The color change was significantly greater for giomer.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Performance in Field Hockey depends on different factors. Physical characteristics along with the Body shape and size of the players are one of them. The present study was aimed to find out the physical characteristics as well as Somatotypes of Myanmar National Field Hockey players. Methods:  Twenty national Field Hockey players were measured for their height, weight, and Somatotype during their visit to a neighbuor country for a friendship tour. Health-Carter method (1967) was followed to calculate the Somatotype components. Results: The average Age, Height, and Weight of the Myanmar Hockey players of the present study were 21.7 (±1.1) yr, 164.8 (±4.6) cm, and 56.5 (±5.1) kg respectively. An average Somatotype of 1.7(±0.5)-3.8(±0.9)-2.9(±0.8) was observed for the present study. Conclusions: Most of the players (55 % ) were with Ectomorphic mesomorph body type, whereas  30 % of players were with Mesomorphic ectomorph body type. Rest were with Balanced mesomorph, Endomorphic mesomorph, and Mesomorph ectomorph body type. Compared to other countries, Myanmar Hockey players were shorter than their international counterparts. Thus, the height of the players should be considered during the selection of players at an early stage of Talent identification for good performance in Field Hockey.
