Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly pathogenic porcine enteropathogenic coronavirus causing severe enteritis and lethal watery diarrhea in piglets. PEDV infection suppresses the synthesis of type I IFN, and multiple viral proteins of PEDV have been shown to target the adaptors of innate immune pathways to inhibit type I IFN production. In this study, we identified PEDV membrane (M) protein as a new antagonist of type I IFN production in both human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells and porcine kidney PK-15 cells and determined the antagonistic mechanism used by M protein to target IFN regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), an important regulator of type I IFN production. IRF7 is phosphorylated and activated by TBK1 and IKKε in response to viral infection. We found that PEDV M protein interacted with the inhibitory domain of IRF7 and significantly suppressed TBK1/IKKε-induced IRF7 phosphorylation and dimerization of IRF7, leading to the decreased expression of type I IFN, although it did not affect the interaction between TBK1/IKKε and IRF7. As expected, overexpression of M protein significantly increased PEDV replication in porcine cells. The M proteins of both epidemic PEDV strains and vaccine strain showed similar antagonistic effect on type I IFN production, and the 1-55 region of M protein was essential for disruption of IRF7 function by interacting with IRF7. Taken together, our data identified a new, to our knowledge, IFN antagonist of PEDV, as well as a novel, to our knowledge, antagonistic mechanism evolved by PEDV to inhibit type I IFN production.

Published: June 2021

Psychological ownership (PO) is conceptually defined as the state in which individuals feel as though the target of ownership or a piece of it is “theirs” (i.e., “It is MINE!”). Theoretical dimensions of PO are promotion oriented (self-efficacy, self-identity, belongingness, accountability, autonomy, and responsibility) and prevention oriented (territoriality). This paper describes the application of PO in dental education and assists us to establish or master numerous aforementioned skills during the learning process in dental school. This PO system will facilitate a gradual transition of students from the dental school environment to private practice smoothly without any apprehensions.

Authors: Jebin A. Aysha , Nisha K. J. , Padmanabhan Shyam
Published: June 2021

Context:

Although Lactobacilli as a probiotic was established as a treatment for a wide range of systemic infections, its role in periodontitis and oral microbiota is still under investigation.

Aims:

The present randomized clinical trial was aimed to evaluate the effects of probiotic chewable tablets containing Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 along with initial periodontal therapy on clinical parameters and oral microbiota of chronic periodontitis (CP) patients.

Settings and Design:

The randomized controlled clinical trial.

Subjects and Methods:

Thirty CP patients were selected who received scaling and root planing (SRP) and were randomly allocated into two treatment groups; Groups A and B. Group A received L. reuteri-containing chewable probiotic tablets. The clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level), and microbiological parameters (Porphyromonas gingivalis and L. reuteri levels using real-time polymerase chain reaction) were evaluated at baseline, following treatment at 1 month and 3 months in both groups.

Statistical Analysis:

Paired t-test and unpaired t-test were used for the statistical analysis.

Results:

On intergroup analysis, statistically significant improvement in clinical as well as microbiological parameters was observed in Group A (SRP + PROBIOTIC) compared to Group B (SRP ALONE) at all evaluation time points.

Conclusion:

Probiotic chewable tablets containing L. reuteri may be a useful adjunct along with initial periodontal therapy to slow recolonization of periopathogens along with improvement in clinical outcomes of CP. Further long-term trials are necessary to establish the optimal dosage of probiotics.
An In vitro Evaluation to Compare the Surface Roughness of Glazed, Reglazed and Chair Side Polished Surfaces of Dental Porcelain
Authors: Rani Varsha , Mittal Sanjeev , Sukhija Urvashi
Published: June 2021

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of glazing, reglazing, and chairside polishing on the surface roughness of dental porcelain.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 50 discs of feldspathic porcelain were fabricated using a metal mold of dimension 10 mm × 2 mm. Based on the surface treatment, the samples were divided into five groups. Group A – Glazed (control), Group B – Abraded and reglazed, Group C – Abraded and polished with porcelain adjustment kit (Shofu Dental Corp. PN 0301 Classic Plastic HP Kit, Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan), Group D – Abraded and polished with diamond polishing paste (Shofu Dental Corp. PN 0558 DirectDia, Shofu Inc., Kyoto, Japan), Group E-Abraded and polished with the combination of porcelain adjustment kit followed by diamond polishing paste. The surface roughness (Ra) values (μm) were evaluated by a profilometer (Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-310, Tokyo, Japan). The data obtained were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test.

Results:

The mean surface roughness (Ra) of Groups A, B, C, D, and E was 0.567 ± 0.078 μm, 0.433 ± 0.059 μm, 0.882 ± 0.126 μm, 2.361 ± 0.195 μm, and 0.438 ± 0.043 μm, respectively. The samples of Group D (Polished with polishing paste alone) had the highest surface roughness (Ra value). Whereas the samples of Group B and E had similar surface roughness (Ra) value. Differences between Groups A, B, and E were statistically insignificant (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

After adjustment of ceramic restorations in dental clinics, diamond polishing paste, when used after porcelain adjustment kit, could provide the marked finish equal to glazed or reglazed surface.

Published: June 2021

Purpose No standard salvage regimen is available for relapsed or refractory sarcoma. We investigated the efficacy and toxicity of the vincristine, irinotecan, and temozolomide combination (VIT) for relapsed or refractory sarcomas of variable histology in children and young adults.Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from the relapsed or refractory sarcoma patients who were treated with VIT. The VIT protocol was given every 3 weeks as follows: vincristine, 1.5 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, irinotecan, 50 mg/m2/day intravenously on days 1-5, and temozolomide, 100 mg/m2/day orally on days 1-5.Results A total of 26 patients (12 males) with various sarcoma histology were included in the study. Most common diagnosis was rhabdomyosarcoma (n=8) followed by osteosarcoma (n=7). Median age at the start of VIT was 18.5 years (range, 2.0 to 39.9). VIT was delivered as 2nd to 7th line of treatment, with 4th line most common (9/26, 34.6%). Median number of VIT courses given was 3 (range, 1 to 18). Of the 25 evaluable patients, there was two partial response (PR) and 11 stable disease (SD) with an overall control rate (complete remission+PR+SD) of 52%. PR was seen in one (50%) of the two evaluable patients with Ewing sarcoma and one (14.3%) of the seven patients with osteosarcoma. Overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 79.3% and 33.9% at 1 year, and 45.5% and 25.4% at 2 years, respectively. There was no treatment-related mortality.Conclusion The VIT regimen was effective and relatively safe in our cohort of sarcoma patients.

Published: June 2021

Dengue viral infection (DVI) among adult patients is increasingly problematic in tropical and subtropical regions. Acute kidney injury (AKI) after DVI poses substantial clinical outcomes and economic impact. This prospective study focused on the characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of adult patients with AKI due to DVI hospitalized in nine network hospitals within Southern Thailand from January 2017 to December 2019. Among 120 adult patients hospitalized due to DVI without preexisting kidney diseases, 17 patients (14%) presented with AKI. During hospitalization, four patients required acute hemodialysis. The predominant characteristic of urinalysis was proteinuria, followed by pyuria and hematuria with remarkable dysmorphic red blood cells. Complications included acidosis, followed by hyperkalemia and volume overload. Most complications and deterioration of renal function occurred within the first week, but renal function recovered in second week of hospitalization. Stability of renal function was regained within the fourth week to the third month. However, four AKI patients recovered, with estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m2 within 3 months. Forty-day mortality rate and resource utilization, including hospital cost and length of hospitalization, among those with AKI were significantly higher than those without AKI. Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality rate among those with AKI was also higher than those without AKI. High APACHE II scores due to bleeding disorder and current use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent were significantly associated with the emergence of AKI. Acute kidney injury among adult patients hospitalized due to DVI should be a concern and should be monitored for prompt treatment and follow-up.
Quantification of the Proportion of Unfavorable Clinical Outcomes among Imported Malaria Patients According to the Degree of Semi-Immunity on Population Level: An Ecological Study
Authors: Nordmann Tamara , Davi Saskia Dede , Ramharter Michael , Mischlinger Johannes
Published: June 2021

The protective effect of semi-immunity to alleviate clinical complications of malaria remains incompletely understood. This ecological study quantified the proportion of unfavorable clinical outcomes among patient populations with imported malaria as a function of the reported proportion of absent semi-immunity in a patient population. Group-level proportions were extracted from published studies on imported malaria. Linear regression analyses demonstrate a consistent positive trend between the average proportion of absent semi-immunity in patient populations of imported malaria and the proportion of unfavorable clinical outcomes therein. Regression equations provide a group-level estimate of attributable fractions of clinical complications resulting from absent semi-immunity to malaria.

Published: June 2021

Background

A vital element of the Next Accreditation System is measuring and reporting educational Milestones. Little is known about changes in Milestones levels during the transition from residency to fellowship training.

Objective

Evaluate the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones' ability to provide a linear trajectory of professional development from general pediatrics residency to neonatal-perinatal medicine (NPM) fellowship training.

Methods

We identified 11 subcompetencies that were the same for general pediatrics residency and NPM fellowship. We then extracted the last residency Milestone level and the first fellowship Milestone level for each subcompetency from the ACGME's Accreditation Data System on 89 subjects who started fellowship training between 2014 and 2018 at 6 NPM fellowship programs. Mixed-effects models were used to examine the intra-individual changes in Milestone scores between residency and fellowship after adjusting for the effects of the individual programs.

Results

A total of 1905 subcompetency Milestone levels were analyzed. The average first fellowship Milestone levels were significantly lower than the last residency Milestone levels (residency, mean 3.99 [SD = 0.48] vs fellowship 2.51 [SD = 0.56]; P < .001). Milestone levels decreased by an average of -1.49 (SD = 0.65) from the last residency to the first fellowship evaluation. Significant differences in Milestone levels were seen in both context-dependent subcompetencies (patient care and medical knowledge) and context-independent subcompetencies (professionalism).

Conclusions

Contrary to providing a linear trajectory of professional development, we found that Milestone levels were reset when trainees transitioned from general pediatrics residency to NPM fellowship.

A adolescência é caracterizada pela aprendizagem de novas práticas, que pode induzir em escolhas saudáveis ou não, levando consigo suas consequências para a vida adulta. Objetivo: Com isso, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar entre os sexos a associação da aptidão física com o estilo de vida dos adolescentes entre 12 e 15 anos de idade. Participaram do estudo 1.161 adolescentes de escolas públicas. Foi coletado sexo e idade, massa corporal, estatura e circunferência da cintura. Em seguida, aplicou-se um questionário com fatores de estilo de vida: a) nível de atividade física, b) comportamento sedentário, c) hábitos alimentares, d) consumo de tabaco e bebidas alcoólicas. Para a avaliação da aptidão física foi utilizado o protocolo do PROESP-BR (2016): teste de flexibilidade, FMI, FMS e agilidade. Após a coleta os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística através do Statistical Package for the Social Science, versão 26.0. Utilizou-se estatística descritiva: Komolgorov-Smirnov (normalidade), U-Mann-Whitney (comparações), Qui-Quadrado (comparações de proporções) e Spearman (correlações), adotando p<0,05 para diferenças significativas. A maioria dos adolescentes foram classificados com risco nos testes de FMI, FMS e agilidade, baixo nível de atividade física, hábitos alimentares inadequados e horas excessivas em comportamento sedentário. A correlação mais forte foi entre o estado nutricional, o baixo nível de atividade física com a aptidão física. A partir dos resultados obtidos pode-se apontar que há associação entre os indicadores de aptidão física, o sobrepeso/obesidade, a obesidade abdominal e os fatores de risco relacionados ao estilo de vida em adolescentes.

Published: June 2021

Introdução: Os benefícios do perdão são mencionados há muitos anos, mas teve seu foco aumentado em estudos recentes, trazendo a sensação de bem-estar e saúde. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil da religiosidade, da disposição para perdoar e da saúde física e mental autorreferida de universitários. Método: Estudo de corte transversal quantitativo, envolvendo 120 estudantes iniciantes e formandos de enfermagem e psicologia em uma instituição de ensino particular na Zona Sul de São Paulo. Utilizou-se a Escala de Disposição para Perdoar e o Índice de Religiosidade - Duke-Durel. Resultados: A média de idade de todo o grupo foi de 23,1 (DP=7,3) e possuíam em média 16,16 anos de afiliação religiosa (DP=10,16). A religiosidade se apresentou acima da média (60%) para os dois grupos, nas três dimensões que a compõem. A saúde mental referida se apresentou discretamente melhor, no grupo de formandos (psicologia e enfermagem) (79,3% e 75% respectivamente), em relação à saúde física. A média do escore da Escala de Disposição para Perdoar para os alunos de Enfermagem foi de 42,59 para os iniciantes e 40,35 para os formandos. Já para os alunos de psicologia a média foi de 50,1 para os iniciantes e 45,0 para os formandos (p=0,598 e p=0,250 respectivamente). Conclusão: O perfil de religiosidade dos alunos se mostrou “muito bom”. A disposição para perdoar foi melhor no grupo dos alunos iniciantes e formandos da psicologia, porém sem diferença estatisticamente significante. A saúde mental se apresentou melhor para os concluintes do curso de psicologia do que os de enfermagem.

Published: June 2021

Os inibidores da enzima prolil hidroxilase induzida por hipóxia (HIF-PHI) é um agente terapêutico sob uma nova classe de fármacos que estimulam a resposta do corpo à hipóxia sem alterar a pressão parcial de oxigênio nos tecidos, o que suprime e induz os genes responsáveis ao processo hematopoiético. Esses agentes estimulantes de eritropoiese podem influenciar a saúde humana possibilitando novas oportunidades no tratamento de anemia com doença renal crônica, no entanto, os mesmos têm também chamando a atenção de atletas que buscam a melhoria da performance. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever por meio de uma revisão de literatura os fatores fisiológicos e terapêuticos dos inibidores da HIF-PHI na saúde, e no desempenho desportivo. Realizou-se um levantamento a partir de bancos de dados PubMed, Lilacs, Scopus e ScienceDirect entre os anos de 2011 a 2019. As palavras-chave empregadas foram, HIF stabilizers, HIF-PHI, FG-4592 e high performance.Os resultados mostraram que os HIF-PHI podem influenciar positivamente a saúde e o desempenho esportivo,por estímulo na producão de células vermelhas do sangue, favorecendo assim uma maior oferta de oxigênio no organismo. Um diferencial dessa classe de fármacos é de diminuirem os níveis de hepcidina não causando deficiência nos estoques de ferro no organismo. Outros efeitos foram a diminuição do colesterol total e LDL, e possíveis reduções nos níveis de pressão arterial. São necessários mais estudos que envolvam essa classe de fármacos nos seres humanos, visto que os mesmos podem ser efetivos no tratamento de algumas patologias, melhorando assim, a qualidade de vida da população.

A virada olímpica é uma sequência de movimentos realizados de forma simultânea quando o nadador se aproxima da borda da piscina para retornar à extremidade da partida. Visando analisar a preferência lateral na virada olímpica com a preferência lateral manual e podal, o presente estudo teve como objetivo correlacionar a lateralidade e a preferência lateral na virada olímpica no nado crawl. A fim de analisar as preferências laterais do corpo para entender se a preferência lateral manual e podal está relacionada à preferência lateral de tronco foi aplicado o Inventário de Preferência Lateral Global (IPLAG), que avalia a preferência da lateralidade do tronco, membros superiores e inferiores. Após a aplicação do inventário foi observada a preferência na virada olímpica do nado crawl. A amostra foi composta por 10 praticantes de natação, de ambos os sexos e com idade entre 18 e 35 anos. Foi calculada a média das preferências de acordo com o IPLAG. Para os valores obtidos na média das preferências gerais e na frequência na virada olímpica foi observado um efeito inverso na lateralidade, ou seja, os indivíduos foram classificados como destros e apresentaram preferência de tronco observada para esquerda. Avaliar a preferência lateral na virada olímpica do nado crawl permite ampliar a compreensão sobre o comportamento lateralizado na natação. Assim, a partir da compreensão da preferência do praticante é possível elaborar estratégias de ensino dos elementos técnicos da modalidade.

Published: June 2021

La emergencia epidemiológica por COVID-19, es una pandemia que se afrontó en todo el mundo, afectando directa o indirectamente a muchos países, por lo que es importante analizar las consecuencias neurocognitivas desde una perspectiva de la neurociencia social. Partimos que, el área neurocognitiva de la persona se refleja en los procesos de la memoria, atención, razonamiento, lenguaje, conciencia, funciones ejecutivas, otros, pudiendo ser modificados por los estímulos externos, en este caso, la crisis que generó la enfermedad como tal, pero también los estresores siempre relacionados a la pandemia; los impactos en la economía, el cambio en la escuela o trabajo, el encierro, el distanciamiento social, la corrupción, entre otros.

Con un enfoque cualitativo, utilizando como herramienta la compilación de estudios previos sobre el tema, se visualiza desde un enfoque epistemológico, resaltando el impacto del estrés en cambios como la percepción social, las neuronas espejo, la teoría de la mente, la autoconciencia, autorreflexión, el autoconcepto, memoria, la autorregulación emocional, prejuicios, relaciones sociales, rechazo social, resiliencia.

Por lo anterior expuesto, las consecuencias neurocognitivas de la COVID-19, requieren de una mirada multidisciplinaria, para poder contribuir de forma integral en el abordaje desde todos los ámbitos de salud.

First published in 1918, Rebecca West’s debut novel The Return of the Soldier focuses on a common trope in Great War Literature: the traumas of war and the difficulties of returning veterans to fit back in with everyday life. The story of the shell-shocked soldier Chris Baldry, who suddenly finds himself in a world which has aged 15 years beyond his memory, may be read as the unfolding of a multi-layered drama of hospitality, in which the host-guest continuum is constantly renegotiated. Chris’s memory erasure does not only turn him into a foreigner who does not recognize his wife or remember his dead son, but also forces his family members to question the role they have been playing in Chris’s life. His family equilibrium is shattered as his wife suddenly becomes a stranger to him, while his long-lost love, a working-class woman well below Chris’s social standards, become more important to him than anyone else. An analysis of the modernist techniques and stylistic features of the novel will allow me to address the concept of hospitality in relation to trauma and disease. The paper will show that The Return of the Soldier may be read not only as a critique of war, but also as a multi-perspective narrative on the precariousness of host-guest relationships. It will be argued that the “question-of-the-foreigner”, which Derrida addressed in his seminal essay Of Hospitality (2003) acquires new meanings when disease suddenly transforms a loved one into an “other” with whom communication seems to be interrupted. Hospitality may thus be regarded an unstable concept, in which identity and alterity are constantly renegotiated.

The aim of this paper is to design an orthogonally integrated hybrid antenna to address
5G/Wi-Fi/C-V2X communication simultaneously in one device. The proposed antenna consists of three planar monopoles and a defected ground plane with a dimension of 55x30x1.2mm3. High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) is employed to design the proposed antenna, which resonates at three distinct frequencies 2.45 GHz (Wi-Fi), 3.5 GHz (5G), and 5.9 GHz. Further, the prototype antenna is fabricated and experimentally
validated in comparing with simulation results. The excellent agreement among the simulation and measured results shows that the designed antenna operates
simultaneously at 5G/Wi-Fi/C-V2X frequency bands and the isolation effects between the elements is less than 15dB.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of cooperation between PT. PLN and private companies. The scope of his research is the provision of electricity infrastructure, which is one of the supporting sectors f or economic growth. The government is currently promoting this policy to meet the increasing demand for electricity. PT. PLN as a State Owned Enterprise (BUMN) is the implementer of government policies in terms of electricity that is still unable to meet the availability of electricity. Based on this, the government provides opportunities for the private sector to participate in the business of providing electricity for the public interest by utilizing Renewable Energy (EBT). The findings of this study are that electricity is generated through power plants owned by private companies and the result is that electricity is sold to PT. The research was carried out in a normative juridical manner with data obtained from electricity and tariff regulations, literature books and journals, public-private cooperation contracts. The results of this study are the application of the principle of economic equilibrium in the Power Purchase Agreement contract between the Government, namely PT PLN (Persero) and the private partnership.
Rohingya Refugee Influx in Bangladesh and Repatriation Process: Addressing the Possible Challenges

Bangladesh is eminent in a very difficult situation regarding the Rohingya refugee crisis and their repatriation, and it practices balanced diplomacy, while her neighboring countries remain silent on the Rohingya problem. Bangladesh, as a host country for 1.1 million Rohingya refugees, faces environmental deterioration in terms of shelter, sanitation, and water management, among other things, due to the destruction of forest and hills. It must repatriate the Rohingya to their motherland in order to do this. This research looks at common long-term responses to the refugee crisis in Bangladesh, as well as the attitudes and behaviors of displaced Rohingyas. It claims that finding long-term solutions for Rohingya refugees through repatriation, integration, or resettlement in their home, host, and third countries is nearly impossible, but there are geographical as well as global challenges. In this case, there is a chance of repatriation in the immediate future, but it would be a small population relative to the total number of refugees. Since Bangladesh and Myanmar have been working together in a joint working group (JWG) since January 2018 to find solutions to the Rohingya crisis and repatriation, this process is still ongoing. This research aims to depict the potential challenges of repatriation of Rohingya refugee from Bangladesh.

Published: June 2021

COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic, an epidemic of a disease that spreads so widely across the world. Thus the Malaysian government has enforced the Movement Control Order (MCO) effective 18th March 2020 to curb the spread of the virus which includes the closure of all educational institutes. In order to ensure that all teaching and learning process (T&L) continue smoothly, the Teacher Education Institute or locally known as Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG), has adopted the online T&L platforms to deliver lessons. This study was conducted to identify the IPG lecturers’ perspective of student teachers’ online learning level during the pandemic. It also explores the support required by the lecturers in implementing online T&L. This study used a quantitative approach which is supported by qualitative findings. The sample of the study were 806 IPG lecturers who were given questionnaires in the form of 5-point Likert Scale items and open ended questionnaires. The finding of the study indicated a high level of students' learning with mean scores exceeding 4.0 for all items where the highest mean was for the item ‘students attend online classes’ (mean=4.49, SD=0.77). The qualitative analysis of the open ended questions showed that IPG lecturers needed support in the form of internet access, guidance and training to utilise the online platforms for T&L, and technical and moral support to help increase students’ level learning. The results of the study implicate that both the lecturers and students need to strive harder to familiarise themselves with this new situation and to ensure that the online T&L runs smoothly and effectively

Hyperactive delirium in an 11-year-old boy with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and a SARS-CoV-2 infection

An 11-year-old boy with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is admitted because of acute agitation and hallucinations. Upon admission, the patient takes lorazepam, which does not induce the expected rest. A PCR-test had a positive result for SARS-CoV-2.

Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a rare neurodegenerative disease in children and adolescents. Hallucinations are a known symptom in the course of the disease. In the case discussed in this article, however, the pronounced hallucinations fit within a broader clinical picture of a hyperactive delirium.

A delirium is by definition provoked by a physical cause. In the presented case, JNCL was an existing risk factor for a delirium, the SARS-CoV-2 infection and lorazepam were presumably the triggering factors. Recent literature shows that an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection can also trigger a delirium.

Treatment consists of treating the physical cause (if possible), supportive measures for the patient and context, as well as medication. The antipsychotics risperidone and haloperidol are recommended. Within the context of JNCL, cautious initiation of a second-generation antipsychotic, such as risperidone, along with great alertness to possible side effects, such as extrapyramidal symptoms and neuroleptic malignant syndrome, are advised.

For the young patient in the discussed case risperidone was started, supplemented with olanzapine as rescue medication. The medication had a good effect and no side effects were observed.

Published: June 2021

In this study, to calculate the isotope radii of strontium ( 78-100Sr), the deformation coefficients which depend on (b2,d) and the root mean square radius ( )are calculated. The main and secondary elliptical parts( a, b) , with the difference between them (ΔR)are taken. These parameters are calculated for the even-paired of78-100Sr isotopes (Z =38).The low transition probability B(E2) and the deformation parameters δ which in turn depend on the electric quadrupole moments arecalculated using the equations of the deformed coat model. The variety of shapes of the nuclei for the selected isotopes is observed by drawing three-dimensional (axially symmetric) shapes and two-dimensional shapes of strontium isotopes to distinguish between them using quasi-large (a) and quasi-small (b) Axes.
