Authors: Lampropoulos Panagiotis , Sykaras Nikitas , Türp Jens
Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: For the fabrication of a removable partial or a complete denture, it is important to reestablish the patient's individual occlusal plane and the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Several methods have been described in the literature to determine the VDO for patients with complete dentures. For this purpose, in the early 1980s, Staub developed a software and a special series of appliances, the so-called Staub Cranial Analysis and Fabrication System for the fabrication of removable dentures as well as for the analysis of casts and existing dentures. The Staub Cranial System is based on defined anatomical reference points on the jaw model. According to Staub, these points should be present on every cast and unchangeable in their position. They are supposed to enable an exact indication of the former position of the natural teeth in a partially or edentulous jaw. Case Report: This paper analyzes the basic principles of Staub Cranial Analysis and presents the clinical application in a clinical case of a fully edentulous patient with initial not satisfactory prostheses. The paper describes in detail the step-by-step analysis process and the artificial teeth arrangement leading to a pleasing and natural set of dentures that anatomically fit in the stomatognathic system of the patient. Conclusions: New diagnostic possibilities, e.g. in orthodontics, prosthetic reconstructions, and implantology, could be implemented using this system. It also could be integrated in digital workflows for complete denture fabrication.

Authors: Dursun-Özkanca Oya , Glušac Luka
Published: July 2024

Many interlinkages already exist between security and development, despite the fact they traditionally maintained separate bodies of literature and compartmentalized presence in policymaking. This introductory article to the special issue seeks to provide guidance on how to bridge the gap between Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Sustainable Development Goals. It focuses on the nexus between the two concepts particularly SDG-16 devoted to effective, accountable and inclusive institutions. It argues that the human security paradigm provides the most rewarding approach for bridging the gap between these two, as it centres the focus on the human element of these two endeavours. It first provides an overview of the security-development nexus, followed by a discussion of the commonalities and differences between SSR and SDG-16 specifically, outlining how human security provides a better connection between the two. It concludes that the bottom-up and multistakeholder approaches of the human security paradigm and its context-specific perspective ensure that the SSR missions and attainment of the SDG-16 targets will be more effective and efficient.

The explore of the development of the Bihać and Cazina basins by applying gravity data
Authors: Ignjatović Snežana , Vasiljevć Ivana , Andrić-Tomašević Nevena , Mladenović Ana
Published: July 2024

The Bihać and Cazina basins, classified as Neogene formations, are situated within the external Dinarides, originating during the late stages of Dinarides' evolution. To scrutinize the developmental trajectory of these basins, gravitational data proves instrumental. Employing diverse mathematical transformation techniques on gravity data unveils the gravitational influence of the low-density Neogene basins, facilitating the detection of structures potentially linked to their genesis. Contacts delineated through these transformations predominantly exhibit a northwest-southeast extension, characteristic of the Dinaric region. Additionally, distinctive lineaments, diverging in orientation, were noted in the central survey area, stretching southwest-northeast. These features likely played a role in segregating the depocenter, thereby fostering the bifurcation of the basins, instead of a singular formation.
Application of the endoscope in the motor vehicle tests
Authors: Božanić Vojislav
Published: July 2024

Industrial endoscopes are devices that are intended for visual inspection of inaccessible spaces without disassembling parts or any destructive method. Industrial endoscopes use their own light source, strong enough to illuminate inaccessible spaces where there is no natural or artificial light. Endoscopes are used to inspect pipelines in steam boilers, central openings of turbines, condition of internal parts of generators, surfaces of gears in transmissions, surfaces of cylinders and damage to valves of engines and reciprocating compressors, pressure vessels, position of core transformers, condition of axial compressors, jet engines. In the case of assemblies and parts of modern motor vehicles, where, due to their compact structure, it is not possible to perform inspection and control without complex and expensive disassembly, the application of the endoscope simplifies and significantly lowers the cost of the procedure. Industrial endoscopy began to be applied as a method of control and inspection, with a certain amount of subjectivism. The hardware, and especially the software used in today's endoscopes, has enabled industrial endoscopy to become an exact measurement method. This allows industrial endoscopy to be included in the equal methods of a laboratory accredited according to the SRPS ISO IEC 17025:2017 standard. as repeatability and reproducibility criteria given in the series of standards SRPS ISO 5725:2007. A brief critical review in the application of existing standards, is presented. In conclusion, recommendations related to risk management are given.

Authors: Vaičiūtė Dominyka , Gegeckienė Laura , Venytė Ingrida
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study is to test and compare the mechanical properties of the cardboard selected for the tests and to determine the best type of material. As cardboard is used in a wide range of industries for the packaging of goods, it is important to determine which of the types of cardboard tested is the most resistant to wear and the least deformable under changing environmental conditions. It is also important to compare and identify what improvements could be made to existing materials to make the board durable and environmentally friendly. To conduct the experiment of this study, four types of cardboard with barrier properties were used. For all the tests sample groups of different cardboards with different barrier properties were prepared and the specimens were stored and acclimatised under the same conditions before the tests. Specific software and devices were used to determine the final results. Selected types of tests were chosen to compare the types of cardboard as they are close to the real-life use of the packaging. After obtaining results of selected tests, compared values have shown that there were no significant changes, but there were some differences in the strength properties, which could be mainly due to the different mechanical properties of each type of paperboard. As a result, one type of paperboard was superior in both resistance and wetting tests. To conclude, this study, which was carried out to compare the strength properties of four different types of cardboard and their behaviour caused by changed surroundings demonstrates that all the types of tested cardboards are proper for use but need to be protected from direct wetting or wearing and tearing. Furthermore, this study helped to obtain new directions and ideas on how cardboard could be improved and made an even more resilient but environmentally friendly material and how it could be improved and applied in industrial companies in the future.
A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS: COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARENTS AND A DEAF CHILD
Authors: Mujkanović Edin , Mujkanović Elvira
Published: July 2024

With the birth of a child, parents are also born. Parents and children develop, grow, learn and make mistakes together. There is no manual to indicate whether parents are making mistakes in raising another being, nor is there a reward when they do something well. It is a subjective assessment of how good a parent someone is, mistakes in upbringing are often overlooked or it turns out that situations that seemed wrong and unsuccessful resulted in a positive outcome. Questioning the correctness of raising one's own child is a daily routine for parents. However, what happens when hearing parents have a hearing-impaired child? How do they adapt, with the added pressure of how to deal with the new situation and how to raise a child who will understand them and who they will fully understand? Of course, there are differences in raising a deaf child depending on the fact if parents are hearing or deaf, but both are guided by their natural instincts in order to achieve the best possible communication with their own child. According to one definition, communication is the ability to share values, beliefs and feelings. We can communicate verbally and non-verbally. Verbal communication refers to speech, and non-verbal communication refers to visual interaction. The aim of this research was to examine the hearing parents of hearing-impaired children about the challenges they face the most when it comes to communication with their own children and how they solve the issues. The research results showed that hearing parents of deaf children communicate with the child at an early age. However, with all the efforts they make while their child grows up, there is one significant part of the child’s personality that won’t develop properly due to missing verbal communication. For the same reason, there is a distance in mutual communication that cannot be overcome even with the unconditional love they provide. From all of the above, the conclusion emerges that it is necessary to work on the education of hearing parents of deaf children with adequate forms of communication.

Authors: Zub Vadym
Published: July 2024

The content of the scientific article corresponds to its title and consists in determining the powers of local self-government bodies to ensure the economic security of the community. It was emphasized that an important aspect of the effective provision of the economic security of Ukraine is an optimally constructed and functioning system of public administration bodies, whose activities, among other things, should ensure the economic security of the state, ensuring proper control of the implementation of the relevant policy. Subordination to political power, enforcement and application of laws are essential features of such a subject of public administration as local self-government bodies; activity in the public interest, the presence of the prerogative of public authority. The powers of local self-government bodies to ensure economic security include: obtaining from enterprises the necessary information about draft plans, mandatory coordination of enterprise plans; submitting proposals to projects on issues related to meeting the needs of the population; preparation of proposals for the privatization of municipal enterprises; receiving payment for land use; establishing cooperation with managers of enterprises of all forms of ownership in the direction of improving the state of development of the economic sphere of the region, analyzing and forecasting the development of the economic potential of the territory; development and implementation of models for the recovery of the local economy, entrepreneurship, diversification of production, etc. In order to improve the activities of military administrations in the field of ensuring economic security, along with the competences for ensuring national security, we suggest: streamlining the provisions of the legislation regarding their powers to make decisions on banning the trade in weapons, potent chemical and poisonous substances, alcoholic beverages and substances produced on an alcohol basis; to attribute to the competence of regional and district military administrations the authority to assist the activities of judicial and law enforcement bodies, bodies of the bar; carrying out joint analysis and holding meetings with the prosecutor’s office and other law enforcement agencies on security issues, in particular in the economic sphere in the relevant territory; participation in the preparation, approval and organization of the implementation of relevant regional and local programs. It is substantiated that the introduction of appropriate changes to the legislation will make it possible to standardize the principles and methods of activity of local self-government bodies and military administrations, to reflect the issues of responsibility and guarantees of legal status and, among other things, to formulate powers in the field of ensuring economic security.

The model was also simulated to assess the potentials of electricity generation from solid waste for Dhaka city and production of compost. Electricity from solid waste could supply a significant portion of the electricity demand of Dhaka city. Composting is a less costly proposition with a composite index much higher than that of electricity generation from solid waste This higher value of the composite index for composting is due to the fact that 50% of non-recyclable solid waste by weight is converted into compost and the rest of the material is dumped as untreated. The composts are good quality organic fertilizers for vegetables and other crops. Finally, this model can be used as a computer laboratory for urban solid waste management policy analysis of electricity generation and composting.

Threshing is one of the most important post harvest operation of grains. Along with Traditional threshing, mechanical threshing methods such as, Pedal threshing, Open-drum power threshing and Power threshing are being used in Bangladesh. ln this study different cost, capacities and ratios of the threshing methods were calculated and compared along with different economic and financial indicators to appraise financial profitability of these methods. Data were collected from a sample of 50 farmers of Barshanta village of Atrai Upazila under Naogaon District. Mean values of this data were used for various calculations in this study. The operating cost of Pedal threshing (30.173 Tk/hr was found lower and followed by Power threshing (53.5 Tk/hr, Traditional threshing (84.67 Tk/hr) and Open-drum power threshing (122.09 Tk/hr). The throughput capacity of Open-drum power threshing (1158.40 kg/hr) was found significantly higher in compare to other threshing methods and Traditional threshing (74.94 kglhr) method appeared as lowest. The throughput cost of Power threshing (0.073 Tk/kg) and Pedal threshing (0.089 Tk/kg) were found almost same and appeared as economic. The throughput cost of Open-drum power threshing (0.112 Tk/kg) was found close to those throughputs cost and was significantly lower than Traditional threshing. The Benefit-Cost Ratio of Power threshing (1.4) was found highest followed by Pedal threshing (1.325), Open-drum power threshing (1.228) and Traditional threshing (1.02). Gross Margin of Traditional threshing (63.05 Tk/hr)  was found significantly greater and followed by Power threshing (35.96 Tk/hr), Open drum power threshing (35.5 Tk/hr) and Pedal threshing (15.16 Tk/hr). Whereas, Net Margin of Open-drum power threshing (27.92Tk/hr) was found highest and Traditional threshing (2.13 Tk/hr) was lowest. The substitution proposition by partial budget analysis showed clear superiority of Open-drum power threshing over other threshing methods, and incurred net gains. Considering various costs ratios and financial indicators along with present socio-economic status and facilities available to farmers, Open-drum power threshing and Power threshing may have been considered as most promising threshing method for the farmers of Bangladesh.

Conversational Accessibility
Authors: Bredlau Susan
Published: July 2024

Conversations between healthcare workers and patients are of ethical import and ought to be regarded as a significant healthcare practice in their own right. Yet patients’ ability to voice concerns about their care to a healthcare worker should not be taken for granted. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s embodied and interpersonal conception of human agency, I argue that phenomenology as a critical practice enables us to recognize that conversations with others, much like physical spaces, are places whose accessibility is not guaranteed. I then examine how issues of conversational accessibility are at play in the larger context of public health research and how we might rethink existing practices in light of community-based participatory research.

This research examines President Joko Widodo's speech at the launch of GovTech Indonesia using the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). This research aims to determine the use of modalities in the president's speech. The theory used in this research uses the theory of Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). The method used is a qualitative method with descriptive presentation. The findings in this research show that President Joko Widodo's welcoming text at the launch of GovTech Indonesia uses medium to high modalities, with the modalities of want, must, and also will. Overall, the choice of modality in President Joko Widodo's speech text reflects a measurable communication strategy which is the main key to making the message in the President's speech stronger and more influential. This aims to represent President Joko Widodo's ability to carry out his vision, plans and future improvements for the better welfare of the Indonesian state.
Potentiel et déficit d’arborisation de la ville d’Abomey-Calavi au Sud-Bénin

Cette étude évalue le potentiel d'arborisation et les déficits en couverture végétale de la ville d’Abomey-Calavi. La méthodologie combine des relevés de terrain, l'analyse des données satellitaires et des consultations avec les parties prenantes locales. Les résultats montrent que la ville présente un potentiel important d'arborisation, notamment dans les zones péri-urbaines, mais que les zones urbaines denses souffrent d'un déficit significatif en couverture végétale. La conversion rapide des espaces naturels en infrastructures urbaines a réduit le couvert végétal, contribuant aux îlots de chaleur urbains, à la pollution de l'air et du sol, et aux inondations. L'étude souligne une disparité marquée entre les zones urbaines et péri-urbaines en termes de taux de canopée. Il est impératif de mettre en œuvre des politiques de gestion urbaine durable pour préserver et restaurer la végétation. Un instrument stratégique co-construit avec les parties prenantes est nécessaire pour structurer les efforts d'arborisation et guider les décisions politiques vers une foresterie urbaine cohérente et efficace.

Genie possession, scientifically known as hysteria, is a phenomenon that often occurs among teenagers. In reality, happenings like this harm and damage the victim's psychology. Extensive analysis is critical to solving this problem. Hence, this research intended to identify the leading causes and factors that contribute to hysteria. It aimed to find a solution to this problem, which is becoming more prevalent. This study used qualitative and quantitative methods through data collection instruments and content analysis. The results of this study revealed that most hysteria occurrences are among school teenagers who have personal problems. The conclusions also confirmed that most teenage respondents have internal issues related to Allah SWT. After a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental concept of Islamic medicine, the researcher realised that Islam had established clear guidelines to protect human beings from all kinds of disturbances by demons, jinn and devils. Unfortunately, not all the guidelines are known to educators and students. The lack of Islamic practice is the top cause of hysteria among them. This research is germane because it can assist policymakers in discovering and elucidating the growing symptoms of hysteria, especially among school students. Through this breakdown, the stakeholders can strengthen the education system by teaching Islamic medical education to educators. These endeavours will lower the symptoms of hysteria among students and teachers. Ultimately, executing it relieves the cases of superstition, black magic, witchcraft, and hysteria among school and college students.
