Authors: Gomes Nilzete Ferreira , Redigolo Franciele Marques , Meirelles Robson Augusto Lobato
Published: May 2024

O trabalho trata da gestão de processos no Dspace do Repositório Institucional da UFRA (RIUFRA), apresentando alguns fluxos de processos mapeados, relacionados ao “conteúdo” e “controle de acesso” dos usuários e grupos. Tal proposição se delineou a partir das dificuldades encontradas pela equipe na configuração das comunidades, coleções e grupos do RIUFRA para disponibilização aos usuários, por isto a pesquisa visou mapear as atividades essenciais na utilização do RI, ao nível de administrador. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e também o mapeamento detalhado dos processos diretamente do Dspace com o login de administrador do sistema. Mapeou-se os processos dos seguintes itens: comunidades (criação), subcomunidades (criação), coleções (criação e migração) e controle de acesso (usuários e grupos (edição e exclusão)). Observou-se que a partir do mapeamento do fluxo de processos, houve melhoria na qualidade na execução das atividades, pois diminuiu o retrabalho, padronizou e uniformizou tarefas reduzindo o tempo e permitiu a visualização das tarefas de forma clara. Com isto minimizou-se a possibilidade de erros no sistema.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this exploratory study on the wording of the title, abstract and keywords of the articles is to verify and analyze the author’s guidelines in scientific journals of Psychology. The method used a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques applied in a representative sample of journals in the area of Psychology indexed in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), considering the first eight titles of each of the four quartiles. The sample consisted of 32 magazines out of 77 (41.5%). A pre-adapted and tested spreadsheet was used. Data collection and processing was carried out on 38 items grouped into categories related to identification data, title guidelines, summary and keywords of the scientific article. The results reveal that the 32 magazine titles belong to 11 different publishers; all have some kind of style manual with guidelines that vary between complete and more superficial. Most have guidelines for drafting the title (75%, n. 24), abstract (96.8%, n. 31) and keywords (71.8% n. 23). The use of graphic and video abstracts are highlighted as new ways to disseminate the content of scientific articles. It is concluded that these aspects are aligned to a greater or lesser degree with the guidelines of the ISO standard and the APA manual. However, they are more related to the protocols of editorial management procedures for the dissemination of scientific work in a digital environment than to the intrinsic quality of documentary products associated with the organization and representation of Science.

The evolution of technology provided significant changes in the production and use of information, influencing organizations and decision-making processes. In the public sector, especially in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), it is mandatory, by legal determination, the effective use of electronic media in most of the academic activities. This article aimed to carry out a technological mapping about the existence of academic documents management systems, aiming to develop a technology that satisfies the needs of the HEIs, both in the organization of the students collection, as well as in the issuance of diplomas in digital format. For this, purpose, researchs was carried out on scientific articles, on the CAPES and Scielo databases, computer program records (RCPs) from the INPI and patents through the ORBIT. Based on the data analysis, it was possible to perceive the relevance of the development of this technology and, from that, a SWOT Matrix and a technological Roadmap were elaborated, containing the favorable and critical aspects in the strategic planning of the proposed product. It was found, from the mapping, that despite  the existence of RCP intended for use in academic activities, no systems were found to manage these to documents, nor to issue a digital diploma, in this procedure, it was possible to identify the technologies necessary for the development of a new PRC that meet all the established requeriments, as well as their application in the short, medium and long-terms.
A finite element method study to compare enmasse retraction of maxillary anteriors using mini implant and conventional anchorage method
Authors: Makkar Mohit , Mittal Astitav , Gupta Ashish , Beg Nazia
Published: May 2024

Increased upper lip procumbency is associated with protrusive maxillary dentition in Angle’s class I malocclusion, creating unaesthetic facial profile, leading to the need of orthodontic treatment where Enmasse retraction will require maximum anchorage.

The present study was conducted to compare Enmasse retraction of maxillary anteriors using mini implant and conventional anchorage in Angle’s Class I malocclusion with bimaxillary protrusion.

A numeric approach was adopted. Finite element method was used to determine the stress and displacement of various components at a given time by dividing it into two groups namely, Implant arrangement and T- loop arrangement for enmasse retraction.

Significant differences were observed when the stress values were compared between Implant arrangement and T-loop arrangement. In Implant arrangement highest stress values were seen around the lateral incisors and in T loop arrangement stresses were found around canine and premolar. Comparison of displacement in both arrangements gave results of greater displacement in anterior and posterior segments in T-loop arrangement.

Mini implants were considered more effective for enmasse retraction but in this study, it was found that although the rate of retraction/ displacement was more in T-loop arrangement but Mini implants in implant arrangement served as an absolute anchorage.

Authors: Oginni Oluwaseun Caleb , Soyele Olujide Oladele
Published: May 2024

There is increased awareness and concerns about dentofacial aesthetics in most population. We sought to determine the self-assessment of dental aesthetics and perceived treatment need among a group of health professions trainees and compare the same with the researcher’s report using the Aesthetic component (AC) of Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN).

This was a cross-sectional study of undergraduates in our College of Health Sciences. The researcher was calibrated. Subjects supplied their socio-demographic details, responses on perception of their teeth, and smile on a self-administered questionnaire. Additionally, respondents selected and documented a picture that best matches theirs from the AC of the IOTN chart, while the researcher did the same and compared the scores. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 16.0.

: 121 students were studied. 59% were previous dental clinic attendees. The majority (80.2%) usually females rated their smile pleasant. 69.4% expressed satisfaction with the appearance of their teeth. Male and female subjects differed significantly in the ratings of their smile and teeth; with significantly more females rating themselves better than average. Subjects’ scores differ significantly from the researcher’s; most subjects rated their occlusion better especially females (p<0.001), physiotherapy students(p=0.0016), and previous clinic attendees(p=0.02). The odds of correct self-assessment increased by 1.6 with respondents' gender and department.

: While dental students are well suited for dento-facial aesthetic assessment, there is a need to introduce aspects of dental aesthetics and orthodontic treatment need appraisal among other oral health subjects to curricula in college of health science.

Published: May 2024

Mini implants have been researched extensively in terms of their efficiency, material used, and methods of accurate placement. When properly used,they might be a substitute method of anchorage preparation as compared toconventional molar anchorage and might reach alike or even superior results in certaincases.

The present study aimed to evaluate and compare accuracy and stability of orthodontic temporary anchorage device with and without the use of Mini-implantplacement guiding device (MIG-20) in adults.

Each patient underwent implant placement using both methods to have a similar oral environment for groups. Each case was treated in a split-mouth pattern to eliminateselection bias (to have the same baseline characteristics for both groups). Sideselection for that particular method was undertaken by using computer-generatedrandomization. So in all 2 groups were categorized. Mini-implant inserted by theconventional method (Control Group). Group II: Mini- Implant inserted by using MIG-20. Mini-implants were placed on both sides of the maxillary jaw between the 1 st molarand 2 nd premolar with the self-drilling manual method. Evaluation of clinical pictures, pre and post RVG and stability/mobility were done for each sample in both groupsusing AutoCAD software 2013.

Out of 21 cases in Control group, it was observed that100% of cases in Control group had a vertically deviated mini-implant, which was statistically significant as compared to Study group, where 28.57% (6) cases demonstrated vertical deviation and 71.43 % (15) cases, where no deviation of miniimplantwas seen in vertical dimension when observed clinically. (p=0.0001, S). In71.43 % of cases, no significant variation was observed clinically in Study Group inmesiodistal dimension. (p=0.0001, S).

The findings of the study substantiate the effectiveness of the 3-D Mini-Implant placement guide (MIG-20) when compared to the conventional method, inachieving a more accurate mesiodistal and vertical placement of mini implants.
Beyond the ARCH: Examining mandibular third molar movements in response to premolar and single incisor extractions in orthodontic practice
Authors: Ponnada Swaroopa Rani , Kantheti Sharmila , Gandikota Chandrasekhar , Manne Ranjit
Published: May 2024

Mandibular third molars have been the interest of the orthodontic professionals, not only because of their Position Eruptive pattern, also because of their possible role in the development of late incisor crowding. The impaction rate of the third molars (mandible > maxilla) is high compared to any other teeth. The impaction incidence of M3s may be lower in patients with orthodontic premolar extraction due to mesial movement of the posterior teeth. In this study angular and positional changes of mandibular 3 molars will be evaluated with premolars as well as single incisor extraction.

: This study includes 30 Pre-treatment and post-treatment orthopantomogram (OPG) of patients seeking orthodontic treatment with extractions of premolars, single incisor are categorized into 2 groups -Group I includes premolar extractions, Group II includes single incisor extractions.

The study concluded that extracting premolars or single incisors did not result in improved mandibular M3 angulation on both left and right sides during the observation period.

The insignificant change in angulation suggests that there are other factors that play a role in the process of alteration of third molar angulation
Seeing Is Believing: Screening Anemia to Make Risks Salient Experimental Evidence from El Salvador
Authors: Bernal Pedro , Ajzenman Nicolás , Iriarte Emma , Lopez Boo Florencia , Sánchez María Deni , García María Fernanda
Published: May 2024

We investigate the impact of non-invasive anemia screening on treatment adherence in El Salvador. Anemia is a common childhood condition in low-income countries, due mainly to iron-deficiency, which if left untreated during critical development periods can have lasting health consequences. While effective treatments exist, adherence to treatment is often challenging, since the symptoms of mild to moderate anemia such as lack of energy or paleness can be easily overlooked. We test whether making anemia risks salient through screening during child-well visits can improve treatment adherence, using a cluster-randomized trial in high-poverty areas in El Salvador. Preliminary results indicate that screening enhances treatment adherence and there is suggestive evidence of a reduction of anemia among children 6 to 23 months old. Our results highlight the potential of screening in making anemia risks salient and motivating caregivers to follow treatment plans.

Human Va7.2-Ja33 mucosal-associated invariant T cells in endometrial ectopic tissues tend to produce interferon-gamma: A new player in endometriosis etiology: A case-control study
Authors: Moghaddam Maryam Zare , Zare Fateme , Sandoghsaz Reyhane , Khalili Abbas , Shams Ali
Published: May 2024

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-related inflammatory disorder that is known by proliferating endometrial cells in a place outside the uterus. The high presence of immune cells in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis confirms the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis of the disease. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells play an undeniable impact on mucosal immunity by the production of interleukin-17, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. The function of the cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is less investigated.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the infiltration of MAIT cells by using the determination levels of Vα7.2-Jα33 gene expression in eutopic and ectopic tissue of endometriosis lesions.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, the tested samples include 20 eutopic and 20 ectopic tissues of women with endometriosis and 20 uterine endometrial tissues of women in the control group. Expressions of the Vα-Jα tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-17A, and IFN-γ genes were analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
Results: According to the results, Vα7.2-Jα33 gene expression did not show substantial elevation in the uterine and eutopic endometrial tissues compared to internal gene control as well as in ectopic tissues. Correlation analysis approved a positive relationship between Vα7.2-Jα33 expression genes and IFN-γ levels in ectopic tissues.
Conclusion: Considering the low-expression specific gene of MAIT cells in ectopic tissue, it can be concluded that these cells are present in the endometriotic environment to a certain extent, and there is a possibility of their role in the progression of endometriosis by secreting IFN-γ.

Currently, the development of BPRS from year to year has increased. This increase can be seen through the BPRS total asset report. Many factors influence the growth of total assets of Islamic banks, including internal and external factors. This research aims to determine the effect of inflation, DPK and NPF on the growth of Total Assets in BPRS Aceh Province. The method used in this research is a quantitative method. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, so that 11 companies were obtained as samples. The data used in this research is panel data. The data in this research comes from financial reports obtained from BPRS Banks in Aceh Province. The data analysis technique uses multiple linear regression analysis, previously carried out a classical assumption test. The results of the F test show that inflation, DPK and NPF together (simultaneously) have an effect on total assets at PT Bank BPRS. The results of the t test show that inflation partially influences total assets at PT Bank BPRS, DPK partially influences total assets at PT Bank BPRS, NPF partially influences total assets at PT Bank BPRS.
The COVID-19 pandemic in the disaster and economic discourses
Authors: Palzur Galit
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The chapter aims to compare how the disciplines of economics and disaster research use terminology related to the long-term impacts of disasters and crises and particularly to discuss the overlaps in the use of the concepts “economic scarring” and hysteresis from the economics literature with the concepts of resilience, “bouncing back” or “bouncing forward” from the disaster discourse. Design/methodology/approach: By using a comparative literature review, the chapter compares the terms used in the economic literature with those used in the disaster literature and applies these concepts to the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, considering it a global disaster with significant economic implications. Findings: While earlier literature showed similarities in the use of the terms hysteresis, scarring, resilience, and bouncing back, a comparison of COVID-19 studies reveals divergences in operational definitions. The economic discourse still uses single indicators like GDP, output or unemployment to measure economic scarring and hysteresis, while the disaster discourse utilises more often multi-indicator operational definitions or indices, which demonstrate the multi-dimensional characteristics of the concept of resilience. Originality and value: This chapter seeks to identify potential differences in how two disciplines approach the study of disasters, crises, or shocks and aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and understanding. The chapter provides a resource for scholars in disaster and crisis research, helping to frame the concepts and relevant literature into groupings and assists a better selection of concepts for research in the field.
The European Union’s Common Commercial Policy in times of turmoil
Authors: Mazur Grzegorz
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The general aim of the chapter is to identify the main challenges for the EU’s Common Commercial Policy in the context of post-pandemic and war’s experiences as well as future trade-related challenges. Design/methodology/approach: The chapter is based on literature/EU official documents, studies, and statistical analysis of the EU’s merchandise trade. It has been structured into two general sections. The first one presents recent trends in the EU’s external merchandise trade caused by the pandemic’s economic repercussions. This is followed by a short analysis of trade disruptions from the Russian-Ukrainian war and trade reactions to the new situation from the EU. Findings: The European Union faces challenges of a fundamental political and economic nature and the Common Commercial Policy is among the main policies defining the EU’s role in the dynamically changing global environment. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought dramatic instabilities to EU economy and trade and the new strategy of the Common Commercial Policy addressed some of the challenges of the evolving global trading system, revealed by the pandemic-related turbulences. Moreover, the Russia–Ukraine war with its geoeconomic and geopolitical consequences has exposed the CCP to new challenges and necessary adjustments. The latest strategy of the EU’s CCP, grounded on open strategic autonomy, emphasises a strong necessity of defending the interests and values of the EU and requires making the trade policy an important engine of green and digital transformation of EU economy. The renewed CCP must also address important trends in the geopolitics of trade and distortions of the global system that have symptomised already before the pandemic and the war. Originality and value: The chapter is addressed to students, scholars, and policymakers by contributing to the ongoing debate on the current changes in the global trading system and reactions to those changes from the EU’s Common Commercial Policy.

У статті з’ясовано, що в сучасних умовах господарювання використання роками усталених бізнес-процесів є недоречним та неможливим, адже веде до втрати підприємством конкурентних позицій та, відповідно, до скорочення рівня прибутку і ефективності його функціонування. Доведено, що підприємства України та світу зіткнулись з процесом їх обов’язкової цифрової трансформації. Даний процес потребує якісних та своєчасних управлінських дій. З метою підвищення результативності дослідження в даній статті сконцентровано увагу на складових процесу цифрової трансформації бізнесу. Під час досліджень було виокремлено чотири складових: структурні зміни та зміни у створенні цінності; цифрові технології; динамічні можливості; поведінка споживача.

Встановлено, що світова екосистема перебуває в стані глибокої екологічної кризи. Виявлено, що значного екологічного збитку завдає транспорт, зумовлюючи викиди в атмосферу і споживаючи природні ресурси. Обмеженість реалізації  екоорієнтованих заходів  підприємствами залізничного транспорту і не використання  останніми потенціалу екологічності даного виду транспортного  сполучення обумовило доцільність розгляду напрямів та інструментів економічного управління розвитком  підприємств залізничного транспорту з урахуванням принципів  екологізації  транспортного сектору. Досліджено еволюцію становлення парадигми сталого зростання як на світовому, так і на національному та підприємницькому рівні. На основі ґрунтовного дослідження пропозицій вчених щодо провадження  екологічно-орієнтованої політики розроблено концепцію еколого-економічного управління розвитком підприємств залізничного транспорту в умовах екологізації економіки, яка  визначає мету, цілі, ключові завдання еколого-економічного управління їх діяльністю та етапи впровадження екоорієнтованих заходів.
