Published: February 2022

Abstract: Bone is a waste from livestock that contains both organic and inorganic components. It consists of 69% organic compounds used as raw materials for activated charcoal manufacturing. The research aimed to process goat bone waste into activated charcoal products to absorb manganese-heavy metals in borehole water. This research was conducted through carbonization, activation, and characterization. The goat bone waste was carbonized and heated at 700oC for 1 hour, followed by activation. The absorption of manganese-heavy metal was determined by variating the weight of goat bone activated charcoal in 5 g, 10 g, 15 g with a contact time of 15 and 30 minutes. The goat bone waste charcoal obtained was characterized by proximate test, Fourier  Transform  Infrared  Spectroscopy  (FT-IR), and Scanning  Electron  Microscopy  (SEM). The results showed that goat bone activated charcoal has a water content value of 2%, ash content of 7%, volatile matter of 10%, fixed carbon 87%, and iodine absorption of 968 mg/g. These values still meet the requirement specified in SNI 06-3730-1995 and SNI 06-4253-1996. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis produced functions groups of C–H, C=C, C=H, CºC, N-H dan O–H. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) test results found an active charcoal pore diameter of 5,200 mm x 12,952 mm. The efficiency of manganese heavy metals absorption in borehole water ranges from 99.707% - 99.821%.Abstrak: Tulang merupakan limbah hasil peternakan yang pemanfaatannya belum maksimal.

Associação entre a periodontite apical e as doenças cardiovasculares: uma revisão da literatura
Authors: Pauletto Guilherme , Bello Mariana De Carlo
Published: February 2022

Aim: The present study aims to review the data available in the literature to verify whether apical periodontitis (AP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Materials and Methods: a search was carried out in the databases of Pubmed and Google Scholar about a possible association of AP with the development of cardiovascular problems. After the selection criteria, 8 scientific articles were included to be analyzed in detail. Literature Review: although BP is a local inflammatory process, its pathogenesis can result in the development of systemic complications. Assuming that a localized inflammatory response is capable of causing the release and activation of systemic pro-inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin cytokines and tumor necrosis factors, some automatic effects are a possible association between a chronic AP and CVDs, due to the potential for the emergence of endothelial damage and atheroma. Discussion: although the correlation between periapical inflammatory lesions and systemic diseases is still questionable, mainly due to the discredit in which the subject was treated in the past and the limited amount of conclusive information currently available, the data reviewed in this paper propose that there is a positive association between AP and CVDs, with a higher prevalence of AP in patients with cardiovascular problems. Conclusion: a limited amount of findings are scientifically available. Therefore, it is suggested to carry out more research on the subject, aiming the search for relevant and well-grounded evidence on this association.

Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic led the world's population to rethink all forms of human relationships. Like other areas of health, Hospital Dentistry has also undergone adaptations to the current situation. Aim: To present the main changes that have occurred in the role of dentists in the hospital environment as a result of COVID-19. Literature review: Dental practice is based on the use of instruments that promote the emission of aerosols. In view of the increased risk or dissemination of SARS-CoV-2 during hospital dental procedures, oral health professionals must be properly dressed and respect all the protocols established for this period. Discussion: After reducing residual saliva, it is recommended to use 1.0% hydrogen peroxide, before 0.12% or 0.2% chlorhexidine, without alcohol, and proceed with oral lubrication. The performance of oral hygiene in tracheostomized patients to prevent VAP in the hospital environment should be maintained in order to avoid new cases of infection by microorganisms other than SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion: Biosafety during dental practices should never be neglected, especially in the current pandemic scenario.

Published: February 2022

Aim: To evaluate, tomographically, in two clinical cases, the effect of the new MTA formulation of the Angelus, the MTA Repair HP, in the contribution to remission of periapical lesions in paraendodontic surgery, as well its physical properties and manipulation. Case report: Patient R.C.R, 57, attended at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora for evaluation of periapical lesion in the element 11. It was observed, at the clinical and radiographic exams, endodontic treatment and a circumscribed, unilocular and radiolucid area at the apex of the tooth. It was requested a CBCT exam (I-Cat®, Imaging Sciences International, Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA), which confirmed the presence of the lesion and rupture of the buccal cortical plate. Thus, it was performed curettage, apicectomy, retropreparation and retrofilling with the described cement. It was solicited two additional CBCT exams at the period of three and five months post-operative. Patient R.J.G.M, 46, with mean complain of pain, increased intraoral volume and purulent discharged in the upper left arch. The clinical and radiographic exams revealed fistula and refractory lesion, despite the endodontic treatment of the tooth 25. A CBCT exam was done and it was observed a circumscribed hypodense area, around the apex of the 25, with rupture of the buccal cortical plate. It was suggested the same surgical treatment described in the case above. It was performed two more CBCT exam, at three and five months after the procedure. Discussion: The MTA Repair HP was developed from the necessity of a more biocompatible material with the dental structures in the retrograde filling process. This product helps in the remission of periapicals lesions and in the new formation of the periodontum components; also it has the advantages of longer setting time, not causing the darkening of the coronary portion and easier manipulation. Conclusion: Regarding the remission of the lesions, it was noticed the generation of calcified tissue across the periods of three and five months. Regarding the manipulation and application, it was not observed any improvement related to the addition of the plasticizer. However, it was noticed a shorter setting time, making it difficult to insert the material.
Exodontia atraumática associada a elásticos ortodônticos em pacientes submetidos ao tratamento oncológico radioterápico: revisão de literatura
Authors: Maia Gabriel Ferreira de Azevedo , De Andrade Evelyne Pedroza
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Cancer is currently among the five most common causes of death worldwide, resulting from harmful habits or genetic predisposition. Oral cancer plays a major role in this scenario and requires special dental care due to the association of tooth loss with cancer treatment. Aim: This study aimed at the biological analysis of the processes triggered by radiotherapy treatment and presentation of an alternative method for safe tooth extraction in cancer patients. Literature review: Cancer radiotherapy treatment triggers a series of oral complications that will eventually require tooth extraction, for example, osteoradionecrosis, hyposalivation, caries, and periodontal disease. Discussion: Tooth extraction with orthodontic elastics involves the tooth at the cervical height with elastics allowing a slow, gradual, and less traumatic exfoliation of the root; this process takes approximately 5 to 8 weeks. This technique is associated with a good postoperative recovery and ensures adequate healing, significantly increasing the likelihood of a positive prognosis. Conclusion: These techniques are safe and decrease the risk of postoperative complications, thus ensuring recovery without major problems for the patient.

PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS REPRESENTATIONS IN PROBLEM SOLVING OF SPECIAL ANGLE TRIGONOMETRY FUNCTIONS BASED ON THE LEVEL OF ABILITY
Authors: Setiawan Yayan Eryk
Published: February 2022

One of the materials used as the basis for solving trigonometric function problems is special angle trigonometry. Prospective teachers' representation in problem-solving of trigonometric functions with special angles is thought to be influenced by prospective teachers' abilities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the representations used by prospective teachers in problem-solving of special angle trigonometric function based on ability categories. This research is qualitative descriptive. The research subjects are prospective teachers of the mathematics education study program at a university in Malang. The data collected in this study are in the form of work results and observation. The research instrument consisted of the problem of the trigonometric function value of the special angle and the interview guide developed by the researcher. The analysis of prospective teacher work results was carried out by classifying the ability categories into low, medium, and high abilities. The work results of each of these categories are classified based on verbal, numeric, image, and algebraic representations. The analysis of the interview transcripts was carried out by coding the words or sentences which aims to determine prospective teachers' understanding of using representations. The results showed that prospective teachers with low ability use a lot of verbal representation, while prospective teachers with medium and high abilities use a lot of image representation in problem-solving of special angle trigonometric function. The implication of the results of this study is to teach special angle trigonometric function material based on appropriate representations.
Wells Fargo: Did KPMG perform its duties? An auditing case about consumer fraud
Authors: Feng Nancy Chun , Fuerman Ross D. , Heron Nicole
Published: February 2022

This article describes the implementation of a case study that uses as its setting the role of KPMG in the Wells Fargo consumer fraud scandal as a way for students to learn about what can happen during an audit failure and what should be done to prevent audit failure. As the case details illustrate, it features the only recent significant Big 4 audit failure that is still being resolved, the audit failure includes many aspects of an auditor’s job, including some that typically are not covered in traditional course textbooks, and it highlights the auditor’s role within the broader context of corporate governance. This case study exposes students to several auditing standards and laws related to 1) consumer fraud; 2) contingent liabilities; 3) materiality; 4) illegal acts; 5) audit evidence; 6) audit opinions; 7) auditor independence and mandatory rotation; 8) auditor liability under the Securities Act of 1933; and 9) auditor liability under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The case was used in two undergraduate auditing classes and a graduate auditing class. Student opinion surveys were used to ascertain the learning outcomes of the case study. The survey results suggest strong student engagement and support for learning in groups while collaborating on the case study. The case results also show particularly strong knowledge enhancement with regard to understanding the auditor’s duty to disclose illegal acts, understanding consumer fraud, understanding audit evidence, understanding materiality, and understanding contingent liabilities.

Published: February 2022

Implementation of the Natural Forest Protection Project and Grain for
Green Programme in China has promoted forest restoration, increased
productivity, and enhanced the carbon stocks. However, few studies have
characterized temporal and spatial variation in productivity and
ecological stability in planted and natural forests and evaluated the
factors driving such variation. In this study, we used 1399 permanent
forest plots to identify change patters in the productivity and temporal
stability of above-ground biomass (AGB) and evaluated the factors
driving these changes in planted and natural forests in Sichuan
Province, China. The mean temporal stability of AGB was higher for
natural forest than for planted forest from 1979 to 2017; While, the
productivity of planted forest was higher. The stability decreased at a
rate of -0.013 yr-1 in entire natural forest and -0.011 yr-1 in planted
forests, and the productivity of natural forest decreased significantly
over time, with a slope of -0.0065 Mg ha-1 yr-1 per calendar year.
Altitude, latitude, annual precipitation, and stand age dominated
variability in the productivity and AGB stability of natural forest.
Richness, tree density, and stand age were the determinants of
productivity and stability in planted forest. Our results suggest that
selective thinning and enriching species richness and forest stand age
can effectively balance the productivity and biomass temporal stability
of planted forests. Older natural forests still need to be strictly
protected under climate change.

The optical properties, electronic charge density, electronic structure
of the new layered selenides materials, BaGdCuSe3, CsUCuSe3, CsZrCuSe3,
and CsGdZnSe3 compounds have been calculated by using the full potential
and linear augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) methods as applied in the
WIEN2k package, which is based on the density functional theory. The
ALnMSe3 compound’s structure of these was (A= Cs, Ba; Ln = Zr, Gd, U; M=
Cu, Zn) is composed of ] (n = 1, 2) layers, which might be separated
by A atoms. It is to be observed that there is strong hybridization has
been observed between the s, p, and d states of Zr, Gd, and Cu atoms. As
the charge density contour, around the gadolinium atom, the charge
density contours are completely circular, but the Gadolinium “Gd” atom
shows an ionic nature. To calculate the refractive index, we used
Kramer’s Kronig correlations with the imaginary part. The decrease in
the refractive index is due to the lack of probability for direct
excitation of the electrons, resulting in a loss of energy. The value of
the static refractive index for all reference compounds is about 1.75
~ 2.25.

Published: February 2022

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in human papillomavirus (HPV) receptor gene and HPV
susceptibility and the outcomes in Chinese women. Study design A cohort
study. Setting Lishui, Zhejiang, China. Population 3066 women were
recruited. Methods 29 SNP sites of HPV receptor gene on women with
available cytology residual samples were detected. Main outcome measures
Develop to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and worse (CIN2+).
Results: 2938 women with sufficient cytology samples performed SNP sites
detection. Rs16894821 [GG vs. AA: OR =1.71 (1.08-2.69)] and rs724236
[TT vs. AA: OR=1.73 (1.14-2.62)] in SDC2 increased the HPV
susceptibility. TT genotype of rs2575712 in SDC2 was associated with an
increased HPV 16/18 susceptibility [OR=2.78 (1.22-6.36)]. Four SNPs
(rs1047057 and rs10510097, rs2575735, and rs878949) were significantly
associated with HPV persistent infection. In addition, the frequencies
of genotype of rs16894821 under recessive model [OR=2.40
(1.12-5.15)] in SDC2, and rs11199993 under dominant model [OR=1.64
(1.01-2.68)] in FGFR2 were significantly associated with the disease
progression. Importantly, we found that HPV test in combination with
SNPs with sensitivity of 0.51 (0.36-0.66) and specificity of 0.96
(0.96-0.97) in predicting CIN2+ on women with non-HPV16/18+, which had
similar performance to HPV test combined with cytology test with
sensitivity of 0.44 (0.30-0.60) and specificity of 0.98 (0.97-0.99).
Conclusion: Gene variants in HPV receptor related gene may influence the
HPV susceptibilities and the outcome of HPV infection. HPV combined with
SNPs is a promising alternative to HPV test combined with cytology test
in patients with non-HPV16/18 infection.

submanifold of a hyperbolic Sasakian manifold is totally geodesic if and
only if it is invariant. Also, we discuss the properties of
?-Ricci-Bourguignon solitons on invariant submanifolds of the hyperbolic
Sasakian manifolds. Finally, we construct a non-trivial example of a
three-dimensional invariant submanifold of five-dimensional hyperbolic
Sasakian manifold and validate some of our results.

Statistical convergence of bivariate generalized bernstein operators via four-dimensional infinite matrices
Authors: Özger Faruk , Ansari Khursheed
Published: February 2022

Our main aim in this work is to construct an original extension of bivariate
Bernstein type operators based on multiple shape parameters to give an
application of four-dimensional infinite matrices to approximation theory,
and prove some Korovkin theorems using two summability methods: a
statistical convergence method which is stronger than the classical case and
a power series method. We obtain the rate of generalized statistical
convergence, and the rate of convergence for the power series method.
Moreover, we provide some computer graphics to numerically analyze the
efficiency and accuracy of convergence of our operators and obtain
corresponding error plots. All the results that have been obtained in the
present paper can be extended to the case of n-variate functions.

In the present investigation, we introduce and study linear operators, which
underestimate every strongly convex function. We call them, for brevity,
sp-linear (approximation) operators. We will provide their sharp
approximation errors. We show that the latter is bounded by the error
approximation of the quadratic function. We use the centroidel Voronoi
tessellations as a domain partition to construct best sp-linear operators.
Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method.
Implicit theories of intelligence, morality, and the world in a sample of Russian perfectionists
Authors: Rudnova Natalia , Sheveleva Marina , Permyakova Tatyana
Published: February 2022

The main goal of the current study is to examine differences across perfectionists? profiles regarding implicit theories of intelligence, morality, and the world. The sample included 202 Russian students, age-range 18-24 (M = 19.62, SD = 1.15), 40% male. Short Almost Perfect Scale and Implicit Theories of Intelligence, Morality, and the World Questionnaire was used for data collection. Correlation and regression analysis, latent profile analysis, and the Student?s t-test were conducted. The study results show that adaptive perfectionists tend to hold the entity theory about the world and the incremental theory of intelligence. The world for them is a structured place with fixed rules in which they can improve their cognitive skills, correct mistakes and grow up in experiences. Maladaptive perfectionists tend to hold only the entity theory of morality, so they believe in rigid moral principles. Non-perfectionists tend to hold the entity theory of intelligence and incremental theory of morality and the world. They believe that intelligence has limits, the world is a chaotic and unexpected place and morality is fluid and unstable. The findings are presented in the context of defining the differences between three types of perfectionists in terms of their views on the ability to modify cognitive capabilities, moral principles, and the world in general.
As if living in a concentration camp: The experience of intimate partner violence as seen through the eyes of female victims
Authors: Jankovic Ivana
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the understanding of partner violence from the perspective of female victims. This study addresses intimate partner violence from a qualitative paradigm and a social constructivist approach. Data was collected from interviews with 15 female victims of violence, which was used as the basis for thematic analysis. In the contents of the subjects? narratives, four core themes and eight sub-themes stood out. The core themes were: incident-based violence, life in the world of the perpetrator, causes of the violent behavior and justification for it, and victims taking responsibility for the violence. The results of the analysis showed that the violence experienced by these victims could not be reduced to isolated incidents. Still, it was a process that included situations and behaviors that were not subject to punishment, which kept the victim in constant fear, controlled her behavior, and made her a subordinate perpetrator. In contrast, most explanations given (by the victims) for the violent behavior had the function of justifying the perpetrators? behavior and attributing responsibility to other agents ? alcohol, mental illness, problems in the family of origin, or an external source of frustration. In certain cases, the women felt that they could be responsible for their own victimization as victims of violence. The results of the research indicate that intimate partner violence should be considered as a crime against identity and freedom, and that persons working with victims of violence should aim to deconstruct the beliefs that lead victims to find excuses for violent partner behavior, as well as to deconstruct beliefs that lead them to feel responsible for their victimization.

Researchers’ Communities Face to the COVID-19 Pandemic, between Carrier Management and Decision Choice; the Bioethics may be the Solution
Authors: Bouchentouf Salim
Published: February 2022

After the Corona pandemic of 2019, many victims around the world will be left behind. Like many global epidemics, the 2019 corona virus is expected to leave behind great debate, greater geostrategic and political changes. International organizations seemed incapable of involving international scientific communities in a unified ethics in the face of the crisis. Since its onset, the disease has been denied, countries pirate medical supplies exported to other countries affected by the epidemic, and others flout universal ethics and morals. Today, it is extremely necessary to think about another vision of ethics to which the world must refer, whether at different cases of law, medical, scientific, political conflicts or other health problems.
A Methodological Crisis in the WASH Sector: Crunching Numbers and Throwing Them over the Wall
Authors: Waterkeyn Juliet
Published: February 2022

Some pre-digital ‘Common Sense’ is urgently needed to salvage the WASH sector. A spate of recent Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) have shown negligible effect of improved water, safe sanitation and non-risk hygiene behaviour on health outcomes, prompting a methodological crisis amongst practitioners. Three different behaviour change methodologies, Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) routinely used to trigger improved sanitation, Social Marketing to promote hand washing, and the Community Health Club (CHC) approach to improve hygiene behaviour, have all shown through RCTs to have little impact on health, with much debate as to the reasons for such failure. When RCTs question the validity of such interventions, lives may be affected as funding is hard to justify. In one case at least, common sense prevailed, when Rwandan Ministry of Health, instead of aborting the Community Based Environmental Health Promotion Programme (CBEHPP) on the recommendation of the cRCT, chose instead to enhance it by including a substantial nutrition component with the rationale this would be essential if stunting as well as diarrhoea was to be controlled. There is increasing recognition that to achieve sustained health impact much more time is needed in WASH programmers than is normally available to inventions evaluated through most RCTs.
The Spectrum and Trends of Glomerulonephritis in Bangladesh: A Single Center Study
Authors: Islam Md. Nazrul
Published: February 2022

The wide variation of the spectrum of Glomerulonephritis (GN) is noted worldwide. In Bangladesh, the spectrum and trends of GN cannot be determined definitely due to the absence of central kidney biopsy registry. The aim of this study was to see the spectrum and trends of Glomerulonephritis in our population. All the kidney biopsies were done in Shaheed Sheikh Abu Naser Specialized hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh from 2015 to 2020, and reviewed retrospectively. A total of 151 native kidney biopsies were examined by light and immunofluorescence microscopy. The mean age of the study patients was 31.3 ± 13.79 years with a range of 11-66 years, 52% were male and 48 % were female. Primary glomerulonephritis was observed in 91% of cases and secondary glomerulonephritis was in 9% of cases. Mesensialproliferative glomerulonephritis (36.48%) is on the slight decline in Bangladesh, though it still remains the commonest glomerulonephritis in this study. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (27%) was the second observed GN followed by Membranous nephropathy (11.48%). Minimal change disease was observed very low in number e.g. 2.02%. Lupus Nephritis was the commonest secondary GN. Mesangialproliferative and Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis were found in high incidence in our population. So it is essential to improve our socioeconomic and hygienic conditions for the prevention of these infection-related glomerulonephritis. This study may be helpful to establish a biopsy registry in this part of the world, which would be opened a platform for future research and planning.

The St. Petersburg strategy of cultural heritage preservation specifies that «the key objects of cultural heritage protection are parameters and characteristics of the environment, including the planning module of quarters and sites, the scale, height and articulation of the building mass», but there are no elucidation regarding protection parameters of ordinary urban development. The issues of residential quarters` formation in the historical center are rarely considered in scientific works at present, and, in case they are, it is usually done at a theoretical or very general level. The analysis undertaken reveals the formation mechanism of the planning module of building sites in the historical center of St. Petersburg. The authors emphasize the need for creating an inextricable connection of architectural activities and urban management within the framework of urban areas` development.

Selain itu, tanaman bambu juga meramaikan suasana di daerah Desa Tancep. Pewarna alami batik sudah dikelola dengan baik, sedangkan untuk tanaman bambu tersebut masih belum dikelola dengan baik. Batik Tancep sendiri merupakan karya yang sungguh berpotensi, namun masih belum dikenal baik oleh masyarakat luar, sehingga penulis ingin mengembangkan potensi kelola tanaman bambu dan memperkenalkan lebih luas Batik Tancep kepada masyarakat luar. Harapannya dengan memperkenalkan Batik Tancep dan meningkatkan nilai jual dari tanaman bambu dapat perlahan meningkatkan ekonomi dari Desa Tancep.

Disaster Risk Management Plan in cultural heritage areas such as the Borobudur Temple Complex, should be the joint responsibility of all stakeholders. In fact, disaster management at the Borobudur Temple Complex, especially the preservation of the site against disasters, is only the responsibility of the Borobudur Conservation Center. Therefore, in September-November 2021 through the research activities funded by UNESCO, UAJY and BKB have formulated a draft Disaster Risk Management Plan in the form of the borobudur-drr.id digital platform. However, due to the limited implementation time, this platform has not been fully socialized by all stakeholders. Based on the stakeholder meeting, it is known that there are differences in understanding among stakeholders in understanding the comprehensive approach contained in the Disaster Risk Management Plan Action Plan for the Borobudur Temple Complex. The diversity of educational backgrounds, experiences and exposure of stakeholders to disasters and their management requires a forum for equalizing perceptions that supports the synergy of stakeholders in supporting, supervising and implementing the action plans that have been prepared. Conservationists, volunteers and tourism actors are three of the fifty-three stakeholders that have been mapped in the Borobudur Temple Compounds Disaster Risk Management Plan, which has a vital role in realizing the action plan in the Borobudur Temple Area.

Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara dan studi dokumentasi. Data dianalisis dengan mereduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembinaan UMKM belum berjalan secara maksimal dikarenakan, 1) Kurangnya sosialisasi mengenai pentingnya pembinaan, 2) Kurangnya modal yang dimiliki mengakibatkan hasil produksi tebatas, 3) Kurangnya tenaga professional dalam pembinan sehingga banyaknya pelaku usaha yang tidak mengikuti pembinaan.
