Authors: Abd Marwa H , Jehad Rasha H , Mutahar Mahdi
Published: September 2024

Background: Although bleaching is typically considered a safe procedure, various investigations have found minor negative effects and changes in mineral composition. The aim was to Evaluate and compare the efficacy of using Nanohydroxyapatite serum on surface microhardness of enamel surface before and after bleaching with chemically cured Boost bleaching. Material and methods: ten sound human permanent upper and lower premolar teeth were used and their roots were removed 2 mm apically to the cementoenamel junction, the crowns were sectioned mesiodistally into two halves buccal and lingual/palatal, the buccal surface was further subdivided into two halves. The samples were embeded in an acrylic resin, resulting in 30 specimens divided into 3 groups: Control group: using Boost bleaching and stored in artificial saliva for 14 days, prevention group: nanohydroxyaptite (n-HAP) serum applied 2-3 min once daily  for 10 days followed by bleaching then stored for 14 days in artificial saliva and treatment group: in which bleaching used before nanohydroxyapatite serum and stored in artificial saliva for 14 days. The samples were subjected to a Vickers microhardness test measured at 4 times: base line, after nanohydroxyapatitem, after one day of bleaching and after storage in artificial saliva for 14 days in all groups. The data were analyzed statistically using repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) test followed by Tukey's test. Results: there was a significant increase in microhardness in the prevention group (p<0.05) while there was no significant difference in microhardness readings in control and treatment groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: n-HAP may enhance the microhardness of a bleached enamel surface when used as a preventive & treatment measure. Suggested that a higher increase in enamel microhardness occurs when n-HAP is used for 2-3 min once daily for 10 days before bleaching and maintaining this increase even after storage for 14 days in artificial saliva.

Published: September 2024

Background: This study aimed to compare the number of voids of primary anterior teeth obturated with Endoflas by using three different obturation techniques, namely, endodontic pressure syringe, modified disposable syringe, and reamer using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Thirty-six single-rooted primary incisors and canines with lengths ranging within 15–22 mm were randomly divided into three groups (12 teeth/group) according to the obturation techniques used. Group A, endodontic pressure syringe; group B, modified disposable syringe; and group C, reamer. A single operator instrumented and obturated all teeth by using Endoflas. An independent evaluator analysed the quality of the obturation techniques by using CBCT imaging to determine the number of voids in the root canals. Fisher's exact test and multiple pairwise comparisons adjusted by the Dunn–Bonferroni method were used to statistically assess the results. Results: All study groups showed no statistically significant difference in the number of voids (P > 0.05). Comparing the thirds of each group, the coronal and middle thirds of group A contained the maximum number of voids, followed by groups B and C, with no statistically significant difference. For the apical third, voids were highly presented in group C followed by group B. Meanwhile, group A was found to have no voids. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the current research, we concluded that voids existed in all techniques used; however, they were the least when using endodontic pressure syringes. Thus, an endodontic pressure syringe used with an Endoflas obturation material may be preferred as an obturation technique.

Published: September 2024

Background: Previous research conducted since 1968 have extensively examined the correlation between tooth color and skin color. The purpose of these studies was to determine whether skin color could effectively influence dentists in choosing tooth color. The objective of this systematic review is to examine the methodologies employed in assessing the relationship between tooth and skin color, and to identify the most precise and dependable approaches for modeling and evaluating this relationship. The systematic review was registered in the PROSPERO (CRD42022356022). This systematic review was done on four databases using PRISMA 2009 search strategy, and selected studies were chosen according to PICO model. JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist was used for quality assessment. Out of 1611 articles that were found in the databases, 10 articles matched the criteria and were selected for this systematic review study. Three main methods were found in the 10 studies: conventional methods, digital methods, conventional-digital (mixed) methods. Digital methods were found to be the more reliable methods for color evaluation. Specific settings should be applied during digital color measuring methods.  Conventional and digital assessment methods showed either a negative or a positive significant association between the color of teeth and skin. However, the combined method (digital for tooth and visual for skin) did not show any such relation. It is imperative to conduct and apply research in Artificial Intelligence to forecast tooth color based on knowledge of skin color.

Age and maturity of spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) under increased fishing pressure in New Zealand
Authors:   , Stewart Georgia
Published: September 2024

Globally, shark populations can be susceptible to overexploitation from fishing due to their conservative life histories (e.g., late maturity, slow growth, long gestation periods, and low fecundity) that result in overall low biological productivity. Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is one of six shark species managed under the New Zealand Quota Management System and it is a primary bycatch species in some of the deep-water fisheries. Despite its prevalence as a bycatch species, most of our biological and ecological knowledge for New Zealand spiny dogfish is dated. The objective of this study was to assess the age, size, and maturity of spiny dogfish in the New Zealand region and assess any changes over time since New Zealand spiny dogfish age and growth was last determined in the 1980s. A total of 119 adult/juvenile spiny dogfish and 15 pups were collected from the Chatham Rise in January 2022 (41 males and 76 females). Spiny dogfish lengths ranged between 54.1–85.8 cm total length (TL), and 52.1–92.8 cm TL for males and females, respectively. Spiny dogfish were aged by counting growth bands on the second dorsal fin spine. Of the 112 spines, 93.3% had readable banding patterns, inter-reader bias in age estimates was detected, but count precision was relatively high between reader age estimates (CV= 10.04). Growth was best described by the von Bertalanffy growth model, and a significant difference in the growth rates for each sex was determined. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters were: Linf= 61.55 cm, K= 0.72 cm, t0 = -0.64 years, and Linf= 76.74 cm, K= 0.14 cm, and t0= -0.64 years for males and females, respectively. Spiny dogfish were sexually dimorphic with females growing to a larger size than males. Females attained 50% maturity at 14 years old and 65.5 cm TL, males reached length at maturity at 51.5 cm TL, but age at maturity was unable to be determined using the same method due to lack of immature males and was instead estimated to be between 5-16 years old. The oldest observed spiny dogfish were estimated at 20 and 31 years for males and females, respectively. Comparison with historical data indicated lower maximum lengths, length at 50% maturity and length-at-age estimates in 2022 compared to 1986, suggesting decreased growth and highlighting the potential impact of commercial fishing on this species, given its low productivity. Despite sampling bias, the results of this study emphasize the potential vulnerability of spiny dogfish populations to overexploitation and the need for further research on the life-history characteristics of the species.

Published: September 2024

The Renaissance, a pivotal cultural movement from the 14th to the 17th centuries, profoundly shaped Western cultural ambiance through its influence on art, architecture, music, and literature. This abstract explores the transformative effects of Renaissance parlance on these domains, emphasizing its role in the evolution of Western aesthetics and intellectual thought. Renaissance parlance encouraged a return to classical ideals in art, emphasizing realism, proportion, and perspective, thereby revolutionizing visual representation. Architectural advancements during this period, marked by a revival of Greco-Roman elements and innovative structural techniques, epitomized the Renaissance's commitment to symmetry and harmony. In music, the era's linguistic and cultural shifts facilitated the development of polyphonic textures and expressive forms, reflecting a deepened appreciation for human emotion and narrative. Literary contributions of the Renaissance, characterized by a renewed focus on humanism and classical themes, significantly influenced narrative structure and poetic form. This examination underscores how Renaissance parlance, with its emphasis on classical revival and humanistic inquiry, left an indelible mark on Western cultural expressions, fostering a legacy of aesthetic and intellectual advancements that continue to resonate in contemporary Western culture.

Published: September 2024

Any geographical region of the planet earth must be well understood in terms of land use and land cover change. LULC is thought to be the topmost layer of the earth that is constantly being altered by both manmade and natural forces. The sensors on the remote sensing satellites sufficiently record and measure these changes. In one manner or another, the land cover is constantly changing. In order to address different viewpoints on resource management, ecosystem protection, sustainable development, and land use planning, among other issues, assessment of such changes is essential. The study area that was looked into for this study is 1770 hectares. Multi-temporal classified raster layers (1990, 2000, 2010, 2022) of Leh town were generated for estimation of LULC changes using Remote Sensing and GIS. The LULC structure of Leh town experienced significant changes in Built-up from the year 1990 to 2022 with a net increasing rate of 232.41%. Agriculture area in the study area decreased considerably from the year 1990-2022 with a net deceasing rate of -33.65%. However, vegetation category in the study area experienced a continuous increasing trend. It was covering an area of 66.77ha (3.77% of the total area) in the year 1990 which increased to 124ha (7% of the total area) in 2022 with a net positive increasing rate of 85.71%. But again, LULC categories Meadows and Barren depicted a decreasing trend with a net decreasing rate of -68.47% and -10.98% within the study period. According to the study, urban expansion is very swift, which might have a negative effect on the study area's delicate ecosystem. Because of the rapid LULC transition in the study region and the unplanned urban built-up expansion, several ecosystems will be under constant stress, which will further negatively affect Leh town's quality of life.

Pengelolaan keuangan di MTs Asy Syaafiiyyah Kuwarasan yang telah dilaksanakan selama ini adalah berbasis jenis pengeluaran dan tampilan biaya total diakhir tahun ajaran. Pengelolaan keuangan model tersebut memiliki kelemahan dalam pengawasan ketercapaian indicator program kerja per waktu, dan mengakibatkan kosongnya anggaran pada periode-periode tertentu sehingga berdampak pada kegiatan lain. Pemahaman mengenai tata kelola keuangan yang masih awam dari pihak pengelola menyebabkan tumpang tindihnya sistem pelaporan keuangan yang menyebabkan sulitnya meninjau kebutuhan prioritas. Tujuan dilaksanakannya pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman baru kepada pihak pengelola madrasah pentinngnya mengelola laporan keuangan menggunakan pengelompokkan kegiatan per waktu menggunakan tampilan Gantt Chart pada MS Project dan laporan bulanan mengunakan MS Excel. Metode yang digunakan berupa forum group discussion dengan pihak pengelola madrasah dan peninjauan periodik terhadap metode pengisian template laporan keuangan tersebut. Hasil template pada excel yang disusun berdasarkan data RKAM (Rencana Kegiatan dan Anggaran Madrasah) menghasilkan tampilan pelaporan yang lebih mudah dianalisis dan memberikan gambaran besarnya arus uang yang keluar masuk di madrasah tersebut. Melalui template tersebut pihak pengelola madrasah menjadi lebih mudah dalam menampilkan arus pengeluaran dan pemasukan kepada pihak eksternal yang membutuhkan. Pelaporan yang lebih transparan dan akuntabel dengan menyatukan informasi pemasukan dari dana BOS dan komite juga menjadi salah satu kelebihan penggunaan template tersebut. Melalui kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan penyusunan template laporan keuangan, pengelola madrasah mendapatkan pemahaman baru mengenai manageman pengelolaan.
