Management of C-shaped canals using “Membrane-Barrier Technique”: A Case report
Authors: Ayoub AA , Cheung GSP
Published: January 2022

A 61-year old Chinese female was referred from a general private practitioner for persistent buccal abscess after completion of root canal treatment of tooth 37. On clinical examination, tooth 37 presented with a metal-ceramic crown (CMC) with 2mm of gingival recession noted at the buccal region. The overlying amalgam core was overhanging on distal and grade 2 mobility. The 37 CMC have no contact point at the distal. Tooth 37 was not tender to palpation but tender to percussion. No periodontal pocketing was detected. The periapical radiograph revealed a periapical radiolucent area associated end of its root. These 37 apices were resorbed, probably a result of the apical periodontitis there. Widening of periodontal space was noted with this 37. A diagnosis of chronic apical periodontitis with external resorption of root apices with a C-shaped canal was made for the tooth 37.Membrane barrier technique with MTA was used for obturation. A bonded amalgam core was placed in this tooth.

ONLINE GRAMMAR CHECKERS VERSUS SELF-EDITING: AN INVESTIGATION OF ERROR CORRECTION RATES AND WRITING QUALITY
Authors: Long Robert
Published: January 2022

Background and Purpose: In order to compete with native speakers, EFL and ESL students are under more pressure to produce native-like academic papers. This has led to more reliance on online grammar checkers, but these can be ineffective with regards to identifying and giving feedback on particular grammatical forms, phrasing and issues relating to style. Language learners may not be effectively correcting these errors. Hence, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of one online grammar checker, grammarly.com, with that of self-editing.
 
Methodology: This case study employed a descriptive approach to data analysis. 199 essays were collected from undergraduates at four universities in Kyushu, dated from April, 2019 to January, 2020.  99 essays were proofed by an online grammar checker, while 100 essays were self-edited. The English proficiency level of the participants was at the lower to intermediate range (i.e., TOEIC 300 to a TOEIC 500). The online grammar checker Grammarly was utilized by all participants to minimize issues relating to feedback. In the analysis of data, the complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) of the essays was assessed in order to examine the significant changes between the first and other drafts, and the types of errors produced.
 
Findings: Results showed that there were no significant differences found in terms of the methods of editing, although the participants who employed online grammar checkers had better results. It was also shown that there were no significant differences in terms of syntactical complexity with either method of editing. There were fewer errors committed by the participants who self-edited, but there were no significant differences in the edited drafts with regards to errors/100 ratios, error-free clauses, and error-free clause ratios. The study showed marginal differences between the two methods of proofing but indicated that online tools can be useful for identifying certain grammatical errors.
 
Contributions: This paper argues that educators need to work more with EFL learners on the editorial and proofing process, but online grammar checkers may be a useful pedagogical tool to help low-proficient L2 learners.
 
Keywords: Writing quality, editing, online grammar checkers, proofing, syntactical complexity.

TRUANCY AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN: REASONS AND COUNSELLING EXPERIENCES
Authors: Mat Min Ruhani , Brahim Siti Sarah , Mohd Yusoff Raba’Aton Adawiah , Ramley Fazliyaton
Published: January 2022

Background and Purpose: Truancy is one of the top discipline problems in Malaysia and the national prevalence of truancy indicates a significant number of students are truant. Counselling at school aims at helping schoolchildren in personality development and discipline. This qualitative study aims to research the experiences of counselling on schoolchildren who were reported for truancy.
 
Methodology: The research participants involved ten schoolchildren who had played truant and were required to participate in counselling sessions. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and diary entries on two occasions for each participant. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify themes related to the participants’ experiences.
 
Findings: The findings showed that the reasons for truancy among the school children involve self and relationship with others. After being in sessions with school counsellors, the children reported being more responsible, which included behavioural, emotional and goal-based changes. The relationship with the school counsellor allowed them to experience belongingness, which supported them in choosing positive behaviour, emotions and goals, which is related to having a sense of responsibility.
 
Contributions: This paper argues that engaging in counselling with a school counsellor helped the schoolchildren to make responsible decisions about their behaviour, emotions and goals. The most important factor is the “relearning experience” in promoting responsibility among schoolchildren.
Keywords: Qualitative research, truancy, belongingness, school counselling, responsibility.

Published: January 2022

Marriage is a form of worship, this is in line with the definition of marriage in the Islamic Law Compilation which reads; marriage is a very strong mitsaqan ghalizhan contract to obey Allah's commands and carry out it is worship. Religion and state also provide rules for marriage, especially at the age of the prospective husband and wife, so that it can be considered mature, with the aim of achieving sakinah mawaddah warahmah. However, there were several cases of underage marriage in Indonesia. And it is in the background of many factors and their respective goals. Among the factors are wanting to maintain religion, honor and achieve happiness and welfare. Such as the case of early marriage in the Tanjung Morawa area in Bangun Sari Village. They decided to get married because the candidates who came were people of good religion and morals, so that the married life they live is blessed according to their hopes and dreams.

Published: January 2022

In 2014, a significant upgrade was made to the Borowiec (BORL 7811) laser-ranging system, which is the part of Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (SRC PAS). Two high-energy lasers modules were installed. First is the EKSPLA PL-2250, used for tracking objects equipped with retroreflectors. Second is the Continuum Surelite III, dedicated to the tracking of space debris without retroreflectors. In 2016, the BORL station joined the space debris tracking laser group and, since then, is tracking systematically inactive/defunct satellites and typical rocket bodies from LEO regime. Today, the BORL is tracking regularly about 80 different space debris objects. The paper presents the activity of the BORL laser station in observations of space debris. The results presented are from years 2016 to 2020. The sum of all passes from this period is almost 2 000, giving over 23 000 normal points. Average root mean square error (RMS) of objects with satellite laser ranging-dedicated (SLR-dedicated) retroreflectors ranges 1.5 cm–14 cm and of objects without SLR-dedicated retroreflectors ranges 8 cm–222 cm.
“Beneficial Owners” Policy: Comparison of Its Efficacy in the West with Prospects for Curbing Corruption in China
Authors: Zigo Daniel , Vincent Filip
Published: January 2022

Registers that collect data on beneficial owners, individuals who, either directly or indirectly, has the power to control companies or enjoy the benefits of ownership, are being implemented in many countries as part of the AML measures. Governments here want to know benefits from a company, to prevent money laundering or financing of terrorists. However, what is not common is the use of such a register to fight corruption. Slovakia has created a special model of the beneficial ownership registry, aimed at financial relations of the state with the private sector, so the information on who benefits from state funds is publicly available. In this context, we were interested in China and the regulation beneficial owners in this country, because, similar to Slovakia, the phenomenon of corruption is here a widespread problem, especially in the field of public procurement. Moreover, an anti-corruption campaign, aimed to clean the relations between the public and private sector, is still ongoing in China. The focus of this article is, therefore, a broad question about institutionalizing control of corruption: Could registration of beneficial owners be legally and technically transferred to the People’s Republic of China to help institutionalize the country’s anti-corruption campaign?
Sustainable development of antarctic krill environmental resources based on system dynamics

Published: January 2022

Antarctic krill mainly inhabit the Antarctic Ocean, not far from Antarctica, especially the Weddell Sea, where krill is dense. Marine fisheries have reached new levels, but the topic of sustainable use of marine fishery resources is far from reaching the required levels. In order to study the sustainable development of the Antarctic krill environment, this paper studies the living environment and applicability of Antarctic krill based on system dynamics, and provides some references for the sustainable development of marine resources. Mentioned the use of case analysis method, literature analysis method and other methods to collect data, build a Model, and read and analyse a large number of related literatures through the literature survey method. The experimental results proved that the salinity has a significant effect on the survival rate of Antarctic krill (p < 0.05). When the salinity is 34, the molting frequency reaches its maximum value, which is 70 %. It is concluded that the ability of Antarctic krill to adapt to gradual changes in salinity is stronger than that of sudden changes in salinity, and the suitable salinity for survival is 30-42. With 34 as the basic salinity, when the salinity rises within a certain range, the molting rate of krill will increase, and as the salinity decreases, the molting rate will gradually decrease. This shows that improving the environmental resources of Antarctic krill is an effective method for improving salinity.

Published: January 2022

This study used 2017-2019 Chinese A-share-listed automobile manufacturing companies as research samples to analyse the impact of the government-business relationship on eco-innovation. We found that a healthy government-business relationship had a positive impact on enterprise eco-innovation. The mediating effects test verified that a healthy government-business relationship affected enterprise eco-innovation through financing constraints. In addition, managerial ownership significantly increased the positive impact of a healthy government-business relationship on enterprise eco-innovation. We also found that a healthy government-business relationship had a more substantial impact on enterprise eco-innovation in non-state-owned enterprises when considering corporate property rights. The study results provide empirical evidence for the influence of the government-business relationship on enterprise eco-innovation and deepen our understanding of eco-innovation in China’s automobile manufacturing industry.

Authors: Liu Fang
Published: January 2022

With the development of economy, people have higher and higher requirements for living art. A good ecological environment is the guarantee of creating an aesthetic environment. Taking the ecological environment construction of ecological town as an example, this paper analyses the importance of integrating artistic elements into the ecological environment construction in the new era from the perspective of environmental aesthetics. Based on the concept of "three life integration" and "garden city theory", this paper creatively puts forward the construction methods and models of ecological environment in contemporary small towns. Based on the height of environmental aesthetics, this paper analyses the planning and construction process of characteristic town and the evaluation and acceptance criteria of ecological environment design, summarises its successful experience and main problems, and makes a retrospective summary and reflection. This paper analyses the importance of the integration of art elements into the ecological town in the new era. The results show that in the new era of ecological environment construction, the integration of art elements can not only improve the quality of ecological environment construction, but also improve the common people's cognition of ecological beauty.
Macroeconomic determinants of savings in a developing economy: a new empirical evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Anthony-Orji Onyinye , Orji Anthony , Ogbuabor Jonathan E.
Published: January 2022

Subject and purpose of work: The issue of savings and what motivates it has continued to generate argument. This study, therefore, investigated the determinants of savings in Nigeria over the period 1980 to 2017.

Materials and methods: The study employed the Classical Linear Regression Model in its analysis.

Results: The results showed that the determinants of savings include per capita income, gross fixed capital formation, financial deepening and exchange rate. Interest rate and inflation rate showed negative impact on savings.

Conclusions: The study recommended that the variables that showed positive impact on savings rate should be properly directed with the relevant policy tools to ensure higher saving rates. Again, the government should direct spending towards economic activities that encourage the creation of more jobs and investments. This will enable individuals, firms and governments to have more money to save. Finally, the Monetary Authorities should pursue financial deepening policies and implement strategies that will enhance the increase of savings in Nigeria.
Resistance Exercise Machine within Lower Body Negative Pressure for Counteracting Effects of Microgravity
Authors: Dailey Christine M. , Reinholtz Charles , Russomano Thais , Schuette Michael , Baptista Rafael , Cambraia Rodrigo
Published: January 2022

Physiological deconditioning is a critical problem in space, especially during long-term missions. Resistance exercise, coupled with lower body negative pressure (LBNP), has been shown to be effective in counteracting some of the deconditioning related problems. This paper describes the development of a compact and effective resistance exercise machine that works within an existing environmentally controlled LBNP Box, and is designed to simulate both exercise and sitting, to decrease microgravity-induced deconditioning by simulating physiological and biomechanical features of upright exercise and daily activities. Theoretical calculations are carried out to determine whether kinematics, musculoskeletal loadings, and metabolic rate during supine exercise within the existing LBNP Box are similar to those of an upright posture in Earth gravity (1G).

Preliminary results show subjects that use the resistance machine presented in this paper will be able to elicit loads comparable to exercise on Earth, since the ground reaction forces are greater than their body weight (BW). The largest single-leg forces during resistance exercise are 1.16 BW (232 lbs) during supine position when γ, the angle between the horizontal and the ground pivot on the right side of the mechanism, equals 187 degrees and minimal at 0.68 BW (136 lbs) when γ equals 177 degrees. At the lowest setting of the machine, peak resistance of the foot pedal during the outward stroke is 196 lbf. This force, added to the force due to the 50 mmHg of negative differential pressure, gives a total force of 400 lb, which is 2 BW.

The results suggest that this machine can be used to collect and establish a database under both terrestrial conditions and microgravity environments, such as the International Space Station (ISS), to enhance medical researchers’ understanding of how LBNP paired with exercise impacts osteoporosis, orthostatic intolerance, and cardiovascular health.
Differing Responses in Growth and Spontaneous Mutation to Antibiotic Resistance in Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis Cells Exposed to Simulated Microgravity
Authors: Fajardo-Cavazos Patricia , Narvel Raed , Nicholson Wayne L.
Published: January 2022

Bacteria of the genera Bacillus and Staphylococcus are frequent inhabitants of the International Space Station (ISS) and represent possible opportunistic pathogens. The effect of simulated microgravity on growth and the frequency of mutation to antibiotic resistance in the model surrogate organisms Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) were investigated. The test organisms were cultivated for six days in Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) clinostats either in the vertical (simulated microgravity) or horizontal (1 g control) orientation. Parameters measured were: optical densities (ODs); viable counts; frequencies of resistance to rifampicin (RFM); and frequencies of double resistance to RFM and trimethoprim (TMP). The results indicated that the response to simulated microgravity differed in the two microorganisms. Both B. subtilis and S. epidermidis grew to higher ODs and cell numbers in simulated microgravity. However, the frequencies of mutation, both to RFM resistance and double resistance to RFM and TMP, were observed to increase significantly in simulated microgravity-grown B. subtilis but not in S. epidermidis.

Published: January 2022

Spiroxamine is one of the most used fungicides in the Mediterranean region, in significant uses such as open field cucumber. Residue trials in the Northern part of Egypt were conducted to investigate the dissipation of spiroxamine (SPX) in cucumbers according to the authorized Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) (1 × 75 g a.i. ha−1 at BBCH 85 to 89) and more critical use patterns. SPX was extracted from cucumbers using a modified QuEChERS protocol and residues were analyzed by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). The method was successfully validated with an LOQ of 0.001 mg kg−1. A steep decline of SPX residues in cucumbers fit a first-order decay process with a calculated t1/2 of approximately 2 days and almost complete degradation (99%) after 14 days. Chronic and acute exposure calculations were performed for cucumbers treated with SPX according to all tested GAPs employing two different approaches. In all cases a health risk after consumption of cucumbers was not identified.
Ready or not? Constructing the Monetary Union Readiness Index
Authors: Erhart Szilárd
Published: January 2022

While all EU Member States can join the group's monetary union, the euro area, some members are far more ready for the adoption and use of the single European currency. Here, we construct a new Monetary Union Readiness Index (MURI) for the EU Member States. The theoretical framework of the index is built on the economic theory of Optimal Currency Areas and EU regulations such as the Treaty and the Maastricht criteria, and the Regulation on the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure. The index measures (i) nominal convergence, (ii) real convergence, and (iii) macroeconomic stability. The MURI Index provides an easy to use real-time policy tool to evaluate both candidate and current euro area members. Hence, it complements, aggregates and communicates key information in annual convergence reports and in official statistics. Our evaluation finds that Austria, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Germany showed the highest level of compliance with the different euro area criteria in 2018, while Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Spain, and Italy were the least compliant.

Published: January 2022

This paper studies the international transmission of the euro area´s monetary policy and financial stress to Russia. The results show that financial stress in the euro area damages Russian economic activity and stock prices, but not its trade balance. The contractionary euro area monetary policy shock decreases Russian GDP, leads to real appreciation of the euro against the Russian rouble, damages Russian stock prices, but does not significantly affect the trade balance between countries. We also found that the Central Bank of the Russian Federation adjusts to monetary policy shocks in the euro area.
Forensic Accounting vs Fraud examination: Roles, Importance and Differences
Authors: Tekavčič Metka , Damijan Sandra
Published: January 2022

Fraud has existed throughout history. Yet, it is estimated that today's occurrence has a huge impact on global revenues, highlighting the importance of fraud examination and forensic accounting. Although the roles of the two disciplines appear to be similar (e.g. litigation support), they differ significantly in their objectives, with the goal of fraud auditing being to determine whether fraud has occurred and, if so, who is responsible. Forensic accounting has the additional objective of assessing the financial consequences and determining whether the allegations have a factual basis by analyzing the financial evidence.

Published: January 2022

Currently, we expected a altitudinal shift of forest vegetation upward under predicted climate changes impacts to European mountains ecosystems. In this context can be very interesting, that changes in alpine tree line ecotone in high European mountains were induced by human activities relatively often also in history. Probably one of the most important driver in land-use changes in high mountains was grazing, which significantly have influenced both mountain spruce forests and open alpine grasslands in central-Europe. This paper deals with historical changes of land-use in Hruby Jesenik Mountains (Czech Republic) during 19th and 20th centuries. Results revealed consequences of former grazing in mountain grasslands above alpine tree line ecotone in the frame of land-use analyses based on historical maps and other sources. These results, based on historical data, support our better understanding to current dynamic changes in European mountain landscapes.
The Warta River with humanistic coefficient. Culture-forming functions of alcohol consumption in the riverside areas in Poznan
Authors: Wechta Przemysław
Published: January 2022

The aim of the article is to apply the concept of the humanistic coefficient of Florian Znaniecki to the analysis of a specific legal and social situation that enabled the legal consumption of alcohol in the Warta areas in Poznan. They have gained a high spatial value, and this is not due to intentional investments or architectural changes, but thanks to the presence of people who create various types of social systems. Znaniecki’s humanistic coefficient turns out to be not only an important theoretical concept, but also a useful, still valid tool in empirical analysis. It brings a large dose of practical knowledge for different types of decision makers (re)organizing urban areas. The spatial value does not have to be directly proportional to the size of financial outlays.

The influence of Florian Znaniecki’s concepts and theories on the life of Polish social thought in relation to the elderly
Authors: Kawa Janusz
Published: January 2022

This article discusses the theoretical foundations of developed theories and their impact on the lives of older people. In this context, it is particularly important to bring closer the sociological concepts of upbringing according to Florian Znaniecki, as well as the process of transmitting norms and values. According to Znaniecki’s thesis it is the elderly, through the experience and skills acquired in the course of life, who are able to adequately convey the necessary values and norms. Possessed skills, life competences and cultural resources make that the elderly become a life guide for the younger generation, so to speak, social leaders who are able to influence their pupils. Znaniecki’s concepts and theories contributed to the development of sociology. According to the researcher, upbringing, which takes into account both the roles and the importance of the elderly and their axiological messages, is aimed primarily at the proper shaping of the young individual so that he/she is able to independently perform the social tasks entrusted to him/her in the future.

Published: January 2022

The text is a research report. The research aimed to diagnose and describe the distance education of students with mild intellectual disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of teachers. The study consisted of answering questions contained in a survey disseminated by the Internet. 114 correctly completed surveys were collected. In the light of the results, teachers are more convinced that it is possible to implement the core curriculum during distance education than the educational, and especially caring function of the school. Teachers also expressed the opinion that distance learning exacerbates rather than equalizes differences between students, which is particularly worrying for students with mild intellectual disabilities.
Environmental education in the Polish core curriculum
Authors: Kozłowska Agnieszka
Published: January 2022

The purpose of the study was an investigation on a content of the core curriculum in Poland, for kindergarten children (aged 3–6) and primary school students (aged 7–18), in reference to educational demands, created by the global ecological crisis. As a source of these demands, IPCC Assessments Reports on Climate Change and UN over-arching strategies for sustainability and environmental education were used, as well as the European Union green policies’ package (The European Green Deal). Poland, as a member of the EU and a party of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, is obliged to promote and implement “green” policies, through incorporation of them into national legislation and the state system of education.

The analysis revealed in Polish core curriculum lack of content, connected with the global ecological crisis and climate change, as well as with strategies of combating them. This result shows a dramatic content gap in environmental education of Polish students, regardless the fact that ecology is a fundament of global and European developmental strategies. The responsibility for this situation is beard on decision makers for a state educational policy; in a context of Polish law, this is the Ministry of Education and the Minister for Education himself.
The Relationship between Homework and Motivation for Learning among Arab Elementary School Students in Israel
Authors: Atamna Jamila
Published: January 2022

Students, parents, teachers and researchers in the field of education disagree with each other about the contribution of homework in the overall student learning process. In particular, widespread criticism is directed at the emotional and cognitive load that homework imposes on the student, the considerable time they consume, and the disruption caused, according to the claim, to the social development of the student. This claim is supported by a series of empirical studies that have been carried out for decades, especially recently, in the world and in Israel. Nevertheless, the role that homework plays in the student learning process and their impact on other components of the student’s learning experience has never been studied in Arabic-speaking schools in the country.

This study examines the relative e§ectiveness of bank-based and market-based Önancial development on the economic growth of Nigeria with data from 1989 to 2018 us- ing the Auto-Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) estimation technique. The study found that bank-based Önancial development exerts positive and signiÖcant ináuence on Nigeriaís economic performance while stock market-based, rather than contributing positively to the economic prosperity, was found to have an insigniÖcant negative e§ect. Using GDP per capita growth for sensitivity analysis also showed a somewhat similar result. From this Önd- ing, the study concludes that bank-based Önancial development drives growth in Nigeria more than market-based. The study therefore recommends intensive Önancial literacy and inclusion campaign to create awareness and bolster public conÖdence in the stock market and the Önancial sector.

This study investigates European Union countriesí di§erences and similarities referring to corporate governance treated as (1) an external tool to overcome the conáict of interest described by the agency theory, and as (2) a result of an institutional environment. We conduct a cluster analysis and uncover an increased cross-country heterogeneity. Our Öndings might be of interest to European capital market investors. Differentiating between low-level corporate governance countries and high-level corporate governance countries may also be of regulatorsí interests who should search for other means to improve country-level corporate governance practices.

Venture capitalists (VCs) áourish on the ability to add funds to their kitty across nations. Consequently, VCsíability to convince Limited Partners (LP), who are their primary source of Önancing, plays a critical role in the venture capital investment growth in any economy. However, it is not easy to rake in capital from an investor. LPs assess the market conditions carefully before making their capital available to the VCs. This paper examines the macro-economic variables that ináuence the supply of money to venture capital funds in emerging economies such as India from an LPs perspective. The empirical analysis using Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach reveals that supply of capital to the VC funds in India is ináuenced by macro variables as well as past investment behaviours. Macro-variables such as GDP growth, interest rate spread, global liquidity, and ináation rate signiÖcantly ináuence the supply of capital to the VC funds in India. However, stock market liquidity does not ináuence the supply side of the venture capital investment. Our analysis reveals that VCsífund raising in India is highly ináuenced by their past investment relation with the LPs.

This paper investigates the implication of bank revolving credit in the form of credit card loans as a channel of monetary policy targeting the federal funds rate since 1980. Credit cards have become increasingly popular and a necessity for many transactions and purchases in the United States. The revolving credit nature of credit card loans makes them an instant tool for consumer loans that can facilitate consumption. Using instrumental variable and two-stage least squares (2SLS) methodology, we analyze the implication of credit card loans to modern monetary policy that targets interest rates.

This research aimed to study the effect of extraction time on the antioxidant activity of rambusa leaves extracts extracted using the Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) method. The extraction times were evaluated: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes and 6 minutes with microwave irradiation power 300 Watt. This study used a completely randomized design with three repetitions to obtain 18 experimental units. The parameters observed included yield, total phenol, total flavonoids, total tannin and antioxidant activity. The data of yield, total phenol, total flavonoids, total tannin and antioxidant activity were analyzed by analysis of variance, and if the treatment had significant effect, then it was followed by the Duncan test. The results showed that extraction time significantly affected yield, total phenol, total flavonoids, total tannin and antioxidant activity of rambusa leaves extract. The results showed that 4 minutes extraction time was the best treatment, which produced a 17.40% yield, total phenol 75.07 mg GAE/g extract, total flavonoids 33.05 mg QE/g, total tannin 2.76 mg TAE/g, antioxidant activity based on free radical inhibition percentage 25.29 % and IC50 values 196.17 mg/L.
