Introduction: Dentistry should contribute to achieving healthy aging based on the identification of the well-being and oral health needs of the elderly. Objective: To evaluate the conditions of edentulism and frailty in a group of elderly people treated at the dental clinic of Universidad San Martín de Porres in Lambayeque, Peru, between the years 2016 and 2018. Material and Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrolective, and cross-sectional study was conducted. Two hundred and seven medical records that included an odontogram were randomly selected to identify cases of total or partial edentulism according to the Kennedy classification. The files were assessed with Fried’s test to evaluate the conditions of frailty. The association between variables was estimated by means of a significance analysis using the Chi square test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between edentulism in both jaws and conditions of frailty (p<0.05). An association of edentulism with physical inactivity and weakness was also demonstrated. Additionally, a statistically significant difference between degrees of edentulism was observed regarding poor diet (p<0.05). Conclusion: The absence of teeth in the elderly acts as a risk factor leading to negative changes in diet, weight, and physical activity. These changes may be associated with frailty, as masticatory insufficiency results in a poor diet and subsequent weakness.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflam-matory disorder with a potential of malignant transformation. Despite the extensive research on the topic, the management of OLP is still quite challenging, with no definitive cure. Objective: The present systematic review assessed the efficacy of topical hyaluronic acid in the management of OLP. Material and Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar was carried out by two independent investigators. All randomized clinical trials that compared the efficacy of hyaluronic acid with other interventions and/or placebo in the management of OLP and fulfilled the following criteria were included: 1) OLP diagnosis was confirmed clinically and histopathologically, 2) the study included systemically healthy patients aged 15 years and older, 3) a minimum sample size of 10, and 4) reporting the main outcomes including pain, erythema, and ulcer size. Case reports, case series, reviews, animal studies, uncontrolled trials were excluded. Results: Four clinical trials involving 234 patients were included. Two studies compared hyaluronic acid with a topical corticosteroid, and two studies compared it with placebo. Only one of the four included studies was at low risk of bias. Overall, topical hyaluronic acid showed good efficacy in alleviating the signs and symptoms of OLP. Two studies found hyaluronic acid significantly more effective in reducing pain and improving clinical signs of OLP compared to placebo. Compared to topical corticosteroids, one study reported comparable results; and one study found hyaluronic acid to be superior to triamcinolone in reducing pain but inferior to triamcinolone in improving the healing time. Conclusion: The limited available evidence suggests that hyaluronic acid may have some benefits in the management of OLP. Further well-designed studies with adequate follow-up periods are highly recommended.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) comprises a broad group of genetic disorders characterized by alterations of the structures derived from the ectoderm, including those of the stomatognathic system. Case Report: The present article aims to report the prosthetic management of a patient with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. A male patient diagnosed with ED who attended the dental consultation displaying oligodontia; underdeveloped alveolar ridges were observed. Results: The established treatment consisted of the adaptation of implant-supported fixed full-arch prosthesis designed through CAD-CAM technology for the lower jaw and of a removable partial prosthesis with muco-dental support for the upper jaw. The dental approach of patients with ED is based on a correct analysis of the facial characteristics and stomatological conditions of each subject. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory due to the biological and functional complexity in biomechanical terms of these individuals.

Published: January 2022

This paper investigated some of the teaching challenges Senior Phase Natural Sciences teachers’ experiences during their classroom practices in some of the rural schools positioned in the Vhembe District, Limpopo Province of South Africa. It was an interpretative qualitative study wherein two Senior Phase Natural Sciences teachers participated in the study. The data of the study was obtained through individual interviews with teachers as well as lesson observations. The findings show numerous challenges in the teaching of Natural Sciences including lack of required facilities and resources. Additionally, the study also reports challenges of lack of parental support, background of learners as well as language of teaching and learning. Consequently, this has impacts on teacher ability to implement Natural Sciences curriculum. Moreover, the findings also show that some of teachers available at schools used teaching experiences to teach Natural Sciences content and are reluctant to use various methods of instruction. Therefore it is suggested that the above mentioned challenges in Natural Sciences teaching need to be addressed so that what is taught and learnt through Natural Sciences curriculum at school can be meaningful to both teachers and learners in their everyday lives.

Motivasyon, bireyin güdülenerek bir davranışı sergilemesini açıklamaktadır. Akademik motivasyon ise, bireyi öğrenim hayatı için bir davranışa ve çalışmaya yönlendiren güç olarak ifade edilebilir. Motivasyon bireyi başarıya ulaşmaya veya bir amacı gerçekleştirmeye bilinçli olarak yöneltir. Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik motivasyon düzeyleri incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan pandemi döneminde üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik motivasyon düzeylerinin demografik faktörler açısından belirlenmesidir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, pandemi döneminde üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik motivasyon düzeyleri ile demografik faktörler arasında ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Covid-19 hastalığı geçiren üniversite öğrencilerinin başarıya yönelik içsel motivasyon düzeylerinin düşük olduğu, ailesinde Covid-19 hastalığı geçirenlerde ise, bilmeye yönelik içsel motivasyonlarının düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
The Evolutions, Transformations, and Adaptations in Beirut’s Public Spaces
Authors: Mady Christine
Published: January 2022

Beirut, Lebanon, has been a nexus for the east and west, has undergone episodes of conflict including the civil war between 1975 and 1989, and still witnesses instability to the present. This status has affected its everyday life practices, particularly as manifested in its public spaces. Over time, Beirut’s population has reflected the ability to adapt to living with different states of public spaces; these include embracing new public space models, adjusting to living in the war-time period with annihilated public spaces, and establishing a reconnaissance with post-war reintroduced, securitized, or temporary public spaces. Lefebvre’s space production triad serves to distinguish among spaces introduced through planning tools, from spaces appropriated through immaterial space-markers, or spaces established through social practices. This article provides an overview of the evolution of Beirut’s public spaces, starting with the medieval city and through into the 19th century, before examining the impact of instability and the conditions leading to the emergence of social spaces in the post-war period. It particularly highlights public spaces after 2005—when civic activism played an important role in raising awareness on the right to inclusive public space—by referring to literature, conducting interviews with public space protagonists, and addressing a questionnaire survey to inhabitants. The cases of Martyrs Square, Damascus Road, and the Pine Forest are presented, among other spaces in and around Beirut. The article reflects on the ability of some public spaces to serve as tools for social integration in a society that was segregated in the bouts of Beirut’s instability.
The Effect of Neural Entropy during Deep Brain Stimulation of Cortex-Basal Ganglia Network Model.
Authors: Vikash Yadav Aditya Robin Singh,
Published: January 2022

Researchers reported decreased nerve entropy Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have abnormalities in their basal ganglia (BG). Studies of local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the hypothalamus and single unit recordings of GP neurons showed this reduction to be significant. According to this hypothesis, these changes are consistent with changes in the ability of the basal ganglion network to encode PD information. Our deep brain stimulation of cortical basal ganglia (DBS) model includes single LFP recordings and shows how entropy changes during DBS. In addition to the extracellular stimulation of supplied STN fibers and LFP mimetics, which are detected differently on a registered electrode, this model includes osteoclast activation and anti-apoptosis. In the DBS network, the firing pattern fluctuated between high-frequency and low-frequency stimuli, since gp neurons in the network showed a decrease in entropy when a high-frequency stimulus was applied and an increase in entropy when a low-frequency stimulus was applied. Second hand. Changes in neural entropy after DBS have been reported experimentally. The simulation results were consistent

Authors: Xin Feng
Published: January 2022

With the emergence and use of a large number of new power electronic equipment, the power supply department has begun to pay extensive attention to the problem of power quality, and the majority of users have put forward higher requirements for the quality of power supply. This paper studies the classification and identification method of power quality disturbances based on random forest model. In this paper, according to IEEE power quality standard, the normal waveform and 16 common power quality disturbance waveforms are mathematically modeled, and the power quality disturbance signal is analyzed by S-transform. In this paper, the power quality disturbance identification algorithm based on random forest is optimized. Experimental data show that the optimized method has higher disturbance recognition accuracy and better anti noise ability. Therefore, using the power quality disturbance identification method proposed in this paper to monitor the power quality of power grid is of great significance to ensure the safe and stable operation of power grid and improve economic benefits.

REVISÃO ETNOBOTÂNICA DE TYPHA L. (TYPHACEAE) NO BRASIL
Authors: Tavares de Carvalho Jordano Dorval , Báez-Lizarazo Mabel Rocio , Ritter Mara Rejane
Published: January 2022

Typha L. (Typhaceae) é um gênero de monocotiledôneas aquáticas amplamente distribuído no mundo, o qual tem sido utilizado desde a pré-história como importante fonte alimentícia para o ser humano. Apesar disso, pouco se sabe sobre os aspectos etnobotânicos desse gênero no Brasil. Assim, conduziu-se esta revisão bibliográfica, utilizando as plataformas Google Scholar, Scopus e Web of Science. O presente estudo sintetiza o conhecimento difuso dos usos etnobotânicos de Typha, passados e presentes, por comunidades brasileiras, assim como sua distribuição, identificando as particularidades desse uso quando comparadas a outras culturas. Dentre os 28 trabalhos encontrados, o artesanato foi o principal uso referido, seguido de sua utilização na alimentação. A utilização de Typha como planta medicinal foi raramente relatada e nenhuma pesquisa citou aspectos rituais e místicos, embora este uso seja referenciado em outros países. As espécies de Typha estão distribuídas em todo o Brasil, exceto na região Amazônica, dessa forma a maioria dos trabalhos encontrados foi realizada no litoral brasileiro, principalmente nas regiões Sudeste e Sul. Tais resultados refletem a relação desse grupo de plantas com as populações que coabitam os ambientes em que elas ocorrem, como as lagoas litorâneas e a restinga. Percebe-se, também, que os trabalhos se concentram em regiões historicamente mais estudadas do ponto de vista botânico, para as quais há mais registros de ocorrência.
Relações de gênero e a questão racial em Chove nos campos de Cachoeira de Dalcídio Jurandir
Authors: Balieiro Priscila Garcia , Santos Júnior José Rosa dos
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo visa abordar questões de gênero, discutindo a representação da mulher negra, a partir da personagem D. Amélia da obra Chove nos Campos de Cachoeira (1991) de Dalcídio Jurandir. As análises das falas dessa personagem e a fala dos outros sobre ela mostram a relação consigo e com o outro e, desse modo, verifica-se como é forjada a alteridade feminina na referida obra. Debruçamos sobre o que essa personagem mulher, negra e pobre nos diz sobre as questões de gênero e de subalternidade no contexto amazônico. As reflexões, aqui empreendidas, estão fundamentadas nos pressupostos teóricos cunhados por Akotirene (2019), Alzandúa (2000), Davis (2016), Fanon (2008), Gonzalez (2020), dentre outros.
Uma farsa: Post-Dictatorial Strategies of Forgetting and Remembering in Bernardo Kucinski’s K. Relato de uma busca
Authors: Riccò Giulia
Published: January 2022

The novel K. Relato de uma busca, whose publication coincided with the Brazilian National Truth Commission, has proven remarkably more effective in producing a public and institutional reckoning with the crimes of the military regime than any of the institutional mechanisms implemented by the government or any other testimonial novel previously written about the abuses of the military regime. Its appeal, in part, has to do with Kucinski’s usage of various discourses—fiction, testimonial, epistolary—that successfully challenge the authoritative, and non-dialogic discourse of the military regime. This essay argues that in this novel, politics and fiction are inverted: instead of having a law that fictionalizes the memory of the violence perpetrated by the dictatorship, we have a work of fiction that, by memorializing the struggle of a father in search of his disappeared daughter, brings the crimes committed by the military back into the political discourse.

Comportamiento frente a la alimentación en un grupo de gestantes con exceso de peso en dos poblaciones en Antioquia, Colombia: estudio cualitativo
Authors: Ramírez-Martínez Stefanya , Restrepo-Mesa Sandra L.
Published: January 2022

Objetivo: describir el comportamiento, frente a la alimentación, de un grupo de gestantes con exceso de peso.
Materiales y métodos: estudio cualitativo, desde la perspectiva de etnografía enfocada. Se incluyeron mujeres gestantes mayores de 18 años con sobrepeso u obesidad, o ganancia excesiva de peso en el embarazo, y que asistieron al programa de control prenatal de dos instituciones públicas de salud pertenecientes al régimen subsidiado por el Estado en el Sistema General de Seguridad Social, en dos municipios del departamento de Antioquia (Colombia). Se realizaron 13 entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales y tres entrevistas grupales. Análisis por triangulación y codificación abierta y axial.
Resultados: participaron 22 mujeres gestantes. Se encontraron cinco factores que condicionan el comportamiento alimentario de esta población: el nivel socioeconómico bajo que limita el acceso a una alimentación variada, la red social de apoyo, el estado de salud en los embarazos previos o en la gestación actual, las recomendaciones genéricas brindadas por el personal de salud sobre alimentación y nutrición, y, por último, los conocimientos de las participantes sobre alimentación y las implicaciones del exceso de peso materno en la salud madre-hijo.
Conclusión: es imperante que la atención y educación alimentaria y nutricional sean brindadas desde las particularidades que inciden en la adopción de cambios del comportamiento alimentario de las mujeres embarazadas con exceso de peso; los profesionales del control prenatal deben contar con capacitación que promueva la unificación de criterios y una atención adaptada a la realidad social de la gestante.
The Role of Technology in Nigerian Catfish Production: A Review
Authors: Ogah Samuel Ijabo , Miteu Goshen David , Oyewole Emmanuel Oluwasogo , Adebayo Josephine Oluseyi , Benneth Elohozino Oghale
Published: January 2022

This article examines the state of Catfish production in Nigeria and the roles technology has played over the past decades. Heightened demand as a result of increased population puts considerable pressure on production. In response to this pressure aquaculturists ramped up production activities, this demand-driven increase exposes the major gaps as the industry struggles to cope with the absence of fundamental structures like inadequate structured funding, markets, processing and preservation facilities among others. Such gaps exist in all aspects of aquaculture and technology is a viable plug for many of them. The aquaculture of developing nations has certain peculiarities which predispose it to slow development. Many fishermen and aquaculturists in low-income regions are trapped in economic systems that result in relative poverty. Many reasons have been put forward to explain the dynamics behind these consequences with technology playing a major role from the consensus. Rapid advances in hatchery, water quality and molecular technology have been identified as some of the active drivers of Catfish production in Nigeria. The article focuses on the history, progress and prospects of aquaculture technology in Nigeria. It does so by reviewing the technologies already established in Catfish farming and the impact of their roles in balancing fish demand and supply.
Optoaccoustic Tomography – good news for microcirculatory research
Authors: Granja Tiago , Faloni de Andrade Sérgio , Monteiro Rodrigues Luis
Published: January 2022

Tomographic imaging is a well established technology in preventive medicine and biomedical research, although not without limitations and concerns. Optoacoustic tomography (OAT) is a recent development that bridges optical and sonographic techniques to solve spatial resolution in deep-tissue imaging. In addition to safety advantages, OAT allows multiple wavelength readings for natural thermoelastic chromophores. In this study, we explore Multi Spectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) capacities to simultaneously acquire three independent chromophores – deoxygenated haemoglobin (Hb), oxygenated haemoglobin (HbO2), and melanin, from healthy human volunteers, with maximal molar extinction of HbO2 at 950 nm, Hb at 750 nm and melanin at 680 nm. Later we demonstrate how image stability during acquisition is fundamental for optimal resolution, precision and consistency of high throughout MSOT data collection. From recorded scans, a workflow is layered for data evaluation. With the MSOT dedicated software results were extracted from 3D image analysis of deep (15 mm3) vessels. The possibilities offered by this new system, specially in vascular pathophysiology, are immense and can be extended beyond current knowledge.
Todos os caminhos levam a Roma e a Casa Branca
Authors: Camurça Marcelo , Brum Asher , Silveira Emerson Sena da
Published: January 2022

O artigo pretende discutir as conexões entre grupos da direita católica no Brasil com redes e matrizes do mesmo tipo, externas e transnacionais. As informações mais conhecidas dão conta do papel jogado por grupos evangélico-pentecostais oriundos dos EUA nestes fluxos. Este artigo, contudo, busca chamar atenção para o alcance da influência católica no processo. Serão destacados como vetores desta relação os movimentos do Opus Dei e da Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC). No exame destas duas instâncias da Igreja Católica, o artigo levanta a hipótese de que existe de longa data um caráter internacional no seio do Catolicismo que implica numa globalização interna deste na contemporaneidade. Esta funciona de modo próprio, ainda que interaja com outras formas religiosas conservadoras e reacionárias como os grupos evangélico-pentecostais. Usamos metodologias qualitativo-interpretativas com base em bibliografia acadêmica tradicional não-exaustiva. Mas, por ser um tema ainda em ebulição, utilizamos, como complemento, fontes primárias e secundárias digitais e não digitais (discursos oficiais, jornais, vídeos e páginas eletrônicas).
A Aemulatio da Eneida n’os Lusíadas
Authors: Mangini Miguel Ângelo Andriolo
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é apontar evidências textuais de como a aemulatio da Eneida, de Virgílio, n’Os Lusíadas, de Camões, é construída, bem como sugerir uma indicação de qual seja a importância desse procedimento para o significado da epopeia portuguesa. Por meio da análise de algumas passagens em que há alusão à Eneida, constatou-se que Camões faz uso de determinados artifícios lexicais, morfológicos, sintáticos, estruturais, figurativos, entre outros, para produzir uma “retórica do aumento” que engrandece a aventura que narra em oposição àquela narrada por Virgílio. Chegou-se à conclusão, também, de que o efeito de sentido dessa emulação, ao menos como indicado pelas passagens analisadas, é a construção da imagem apoteótica dos lusitanos e da sua missão orientada pela Providência, superiores mesmo ao herói mítico Eneias e à própria fundação de Roma contados na Eneida. O engrandecimento dos “barões assinalados”, assim, depende da alusão competitiva à Eneida, porque dessa maneira eles resultam sem par na história.

A study on the Delta-Bullington irregular terrain radiofrequency propagation model : assessing model suitability for use in decision support tools
Authors: Breton Daniel
Published: January 2022

Modeling the propagation of radiofrequency signals over irregular terrain is both challenging and critically important in numerous Army applications. One application of particular importance is the performance and radio connectivity of sensors deployed in scenarios where the terrain and the environment significantly impact signal propagation. This report investigates both the performance of and the algorithms and assumptions underlying the Delta-Bullington irregular terrain radiofrequency propagation model discussed in International Telecommunications Union Recommendation P.526-15. The aim is to determine its suitability for use within sensor-planning decision support tools. After reviewing free-space, spherical earth diffraction, and terrain obstacle diffraction losses, the report dis-cusses several important tests of the model, including reciprocity and geographic continuity of propagation loss over large areas of rugged terrain. Overall, the Delta-Bullington model performed well, providing reasonably rapid and geographically continuous propagation loss estimates with computational demands appropriate for operational use.
Implementation of an albedo-based drag partition into the WRF-Chem v4.1 AFWA dust emission module
Authors: Michaels Michelle , Letcher Theodore , LeGrand Sandra , Webb Nicholas , Putnam Justin
Published: January 2022

Employing numerical prediction models can be a powerful tool for forecasting air quality and visibility hazards related to dust events. However, these numerical models are sensitive to surface conditions. Roughness features (e.g., rocks, vegetation, furrows, etc.) that shelter or attenuate wind flow over the soil surface affect the magnitude and spatial distribution of dust emission. To aide in simulating the emission phase of dust transport, we used a previously published albedo-based drag partition parameterization to better represent the component of wind friction speed affecting the immediate soil sur-face. This report serves as a guide for integrating this parameterization into the Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model. We include the procedure for preprocessing the required input data, as well as the code modifications for the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) dust emission module. In addition, we provide an example demonstration of output data from a simulation of a dust event that occurred in the Southwestern United States, which incorporates use of the drag partition.
Ocean climate connectivity and the future range shifts of marine biodiversity.

Published: January 2022

Shifting distribution to track suitable climate is a potential strategy for marine species to cope with ocean warming. Yet, the ability of species to successfully reach future climate analogs largely depends on the length of the paths that connect them, and on the exposure of these paths to extreme climates during this transition. Here, we evaluate marine climate connectivity for trajectories between climatic analogs on a global scale. We find that while movement between climatic analogs is more intense in the northern seas of the planet, they require longer trajectories to reach climatic analogs, with high climatic exposure to extreme conditions. On the contrary, the southern seas host areas that have closer climatic analogs, further subjected to a lower exposure to dissimilar climates. These patterns are mirrored in the connectivity properties of the global marine protected areas, highlighting sites which might fail to facilitate connectivity to future climates. Our results suggest that potential shifts between climatic analogs might be subjected to more limitations than those suggested by previous studies, with marine connectivity offering novel insights for the establishment of climate-wise conservation future networks.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor in adult patients. The disease progression, response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy at initial diagnosis, and prognosis are profoundly associated with the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially the features of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TII). Recurrent GBM is even more challenging to manage. Differences in the immune environment between newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM and an association with tumor prognosis are not well defined. Methods: To address this knowledge gap, we analyzed the clinical data and tissue specimens from 24 GBM patients (13 at initial diagnosis and 11 at recurrence). The expression levels of multiple immunobiological markers in patients’ GBM at initial diagnosis versus at recurrence were compared, including five patients with both specimens available (paired). The distribution patterns of TII were evaluated in both the intratumoral and perivascular regions. Results: We found that tumors from recurrent GBM have significantly more tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and macrophages and higher PD-L1 expression than tumors at primary diagnosis and benign brain specimens from epilepsy surgery. The pattern changes of the TILs and macrophages of the five paired specimens were consistent with the unpaired patients, while the CD8 to CD4 ratio remained constant from diagnosis to recurrence in the paired tissues. The levels of TILs and macrophages at initial diagnosis did not correlate with OS. TILs and macrophages were increased in recurrent tumors both in intratumoral and perivascular areas, with higher distribution levels in intratumoral than perivascular regions. Higher CD4 or CD8 infiltration at recurrence was associated with worse prognosis, respectively. Conclusion: Our study elucidated that TIL and TAM tend to accumulate in perivascular region and are more abundant in recurrent GBM than newly diagnosed GBM.
