Comprehensive care for athletes: The dentist as an expert in their assessment and management
Authors: V Cabal-Escandón , D Bermúdez-Gómez , M Buenahora-Tobar
Published: June 2024

Applied dentistry in the field of sports is a relatively recent practice that requires the participation of various professionals responsible for improving and managing the oral and systemic health of athletes. It is a field that still has few professionals trained to meet the increasing demands of recreational sports activities, the requirements for high-performance athletes, and the high standards set for professional athletes. Both recreational and professional sports are in continuous development, which can sometimes lead to a greater risk of trauma during practices and sporting events. Incorporating dentistry into sports settings will allow for an improved approach to oral health, oral diseases, and systemic manifestations that affect the overall health of athletes from a comprehensive perspective. This will contribute to addressing a field that currently has very little coverage, positively impacting the quality of life and performance of amateur and high-performance athletes.

Pulsating brownian motor with smooth modeling potentials in the framework of small fluctuation approximation
Authors:   Chuiko Institute of Surface Chemistry of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Korochkova T. Ye.
Published: June 2024

Brownian motors belong to the class of nanoscale devices that use the thermal noise of the environment as one of the necessary components in the mechanism of their operation. Today, there are a lot of practical implementations of such nanomachines, both inorganic, fairly simple mechanisms produced artificially, and more complex ones created from separate biological components available at the cellular level. One of the options for implementing the mechanism of straightening the chaotic thermal noise of the environment into unidirectional motion is the presence of a motor particle in the field of action of an asymmetric periodic stationary potential, which undergoes certain small disturbances (fluctuations) periodically over time. To describe such asymmetric one-dimensional structures (for example, dipole chains or fibers of the cytoskeleton) in the theory of Brownian motors, two model potentials are most often used: piecewise linear sawtooth and double sinusoidal. In this work, within the framework of the approximation of small fluctuations, a model of a pulsating Brownian motor with a stationary double sinusoidal potential and a disturbing small harmonic signal is considered. A new method of parametrization of such a problem is proposed, which allows to separate the contributions from various factors affecting the operation of the ratchet, and the numerical procedure for calculating the average speed of the directional movement of nanoparticles for the selected type of model potentials is specified. A number of numerical dependences of the average speed on the main parameters of the system were obtained. Peculiarities of the behavior of the motor as dependent on the parameter responsible for asymmetry and the number of potential wells on the spatial period of the stationary potential have been investigated. It is shown that the direction of the generated flux of nanoparticles depends not only on the phase shift between the stationary and fluctuating components of the potential, but also on the temperature of the system and the frequency of fluctuations, i.e., a possibility of temperature-frequency control of the direction of movement in the considered model has been found. Diagrams have been constructed that allow you to choose the ratio between the parameters of the nanomotor to create a flux of particles in the desired direction.

The synthesis and characterization of heterostructure por-Ga2O3/GaAs represent a crucial advancement in nanomaterials, particularly in optoelectronic applications. Employing a two-stage electrochemical etching methodology, this research has elucidated the precise conditions required to fabricate such a heterostructure. The initial stage involves etching monocrystalline gallium arsenide (GaAs) using an aqueous nitric acid solution as the electrolyte. This process is governed by the redox reactions at the crystal-electrolyte interface, where GaAs are partially oxidized and selectively etched. The second stage introduces ethanol into the electrolytic solution. This chemical addition serves a dual purpose: Firstly, it modulates the electrochemical environment, allowing for controlling pore morphology in GaAs. Secondly, it facilitates the etching of the resultant oxide layer, which predominantly consists of gallium oxide (Ga2O3). The formation of this oxide layer can be attributed to the oxidation of GaAs, driven by the electrochemical potentials and resulting in the deposition of reaction by-products on the substrate surface. The fabricated nanocomposite was comprehensively characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), and Raman Spectroscopy. SEM imaging revealed a range of agglomerated nanostructures dispersed across the surface, with dimensions ranging from 8–25 μm, 1–1.5 μm, and 70–100 nm. These observations suggest a hierarchical pore structure indicative of a complex etching mechanism modulated by the electrolyte composition. Raman spectroscopic analysis corroborated the presence of various phases in the heterostructure. Signals corresponding to bulk GaAs, serving as the substrate, were distinguishable. In addition, peaks indicative of porous GaAs and porous Ga2O3 were observed. A cubic phase in the Ga2O3 layer was particularly noteworthy, suggesting a higher degree of crystallinity. Notably, the absence of Raman-active modes associated with internal stresses implies that the fabricated heterostructure is of high quality.

The paper describes the method of obtaining the SiC/porous-Si/Si heterostructure and the study of its structural and morphological properties. The method of obtaining heterostructures consisted of several stages: electrochemical etching of single-crystal silicon p-Si (111), annealing of porous Si in a CO atmosphere. The fabricated structures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray spectral microanalysis, X-ray phase analysis, high-resolution diffractometry, X-ray reflectometry, and photoluminescence. The method of high-resolution diffractometry made it possible to assess the state of the SiC/Si(001) system. On the 2Theta-omega diffractograms, in addition to the (111) reflection of the Si substrate in the region of 2 Theta = 35.67, the (111) reflection of the cubic SiC film is observed. This means that the formed SiC film is textured in the (111) growth direction of the silicon substrate. The classical technique of X-ray phase analysis showed the presence of a hexagonal phase in the SiC film. The concentration ratio of cubic to hexagonal phase is 80 % cubic and 20 % hexagonal. The RMS deformation of the lattice (ε) in such a structure is ε = 1∙10–2. The photoluminescence spectra of the SiC films of the experimental samples in most cases consist of narrow and broad bands and extend from the near ultraviolet to the entire visible spectrum. At the same time, in the range of wavelengths corresponding to the energy forbidden zones of hexagonal polytypes and cubic polytypes, a noticeable glow was observed in most of the samples. In some samples, luminescence in the area of hexagonal phases was predominant. In the photoluminescence spectra both at T = 77 K and at T = 300 K, a narrow line at a wavelength of ~ 371 nm is observed.

Biopolymer matrices has been synthesized on the basis of ED-20 epoxy resin and soybean oil (SbO) bearing cyclocarbonate and epoxy groups. Mono(cyanoethyl)diethylenetriamine (UP) and tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine (TEA) were used as hardeners. Chemical structure, mechanical properties, thermo-oxidative resistance of the samples and their changes after contact with distilled water, alkaline or acidic environment were studied. By means of ATR-FTIR the possible formation of H-NIPU (hybrid non-isocyanate polyurethane) fragments between cyclocarbonate groups of SbO and amino groups of the hardener was demonstrated. Influence of the curing mode and the type of hardener on water absorption, chemical and thermal oxidation resistance of the developed biopolymer matrices was thoroughly investigated. UP-based biopolymer matrices showed water and alkali resistance similar to the ones of neat epoxy polymers, while TEA-based biopolymer matrices showed better resistance to the acidic medium. The thermo-oxidative stability of the chosen samples was revealed by the TGA method in an air atmosphere. It was demonstrated that epoxy polymer cured with TEA hardener were more stable than the one cured with UP hardener. The similar dependence is observed for biopolymer matrices based on TEA hardener. At the same time, the curing mode has almost no effect on ultimate tensile strength value of the samples with ED-20/UP composition. However, the addition of functionalized SbO to the epoxy matrix cured with both TEA and UP hardeners increases the ultimate tensile strength values regardless of the type of oil functionalization. As expected, all biopolymer matrices exhibited higher ultimate tensile strength compared with unmodified epoxy polymers, which provides the possibility of their further application to obtain multi-layered bioplastics.

Authors: Zhao Li , Naktnasukanjn Nathee , Dawod Ahmad Yahya , Zhang Xuemei
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the relationship between institutional investor association and stock price crash risk, using data from all listed non-financial sector companies in the Chinese capital market. The findings indicate a significant positive correlation between institutional investor association and stock price crash risk. Moreover, property rights and agency costs play significant moderating roles in this relationship. Specifically, the impact of institutional investors on stock price crash risk is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs) than in state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Furthermore, this impact is more pronounced in firms with high agency costs and prominent agency problems compared to firms with low agency costs. This research contributes to financial regulators being able to identify better and prevent stock price crashes, ensuring the stability of investors' returns from their invested enterprises.
Investigating the relationship between globalization and economic growth in EECA countries: The mediating role of governance
Authors: Mhonyera Gabriel
Published: June 2024

Globalisation has been on an upward trend since the 1980s, consequentially ushering in growth and development benefits that has transformed the welfare standings of many countries worldwide. The Eastern Europe and Central Asia region, particularly, cannot be isolated from globalisation gains. However, the region has currently been typified with the on-going Russo-Ukraine war. Given that EECA economies are intertwined to that of Russia and Ukraine, this paper seeks to investigate the relationship between globalisation and economic growth in EECA countries within the framework of the mediating role of governance. The results revealed that overall, globalization and its economic, social, and political dimensions do not affect economic growth in EECA countries. The article also established that governance does not mediate the impact of globalization and its dimensions on economic growth in EECA. Similarly, governance dimensions were found to have an insignificant effect in mediating the impact of overall globalization on economic growth in EECA. However, fixed capital formation was found to significantly affect economic growth in EECA even though the power of its effect is relatively low. Irrespective, globalization may potentially be valuable in stimulating trade, investments, and scientific advancements that are regarded as the foundations of contemporary growth and development.

Authors: Davydiuk Tetiana , Shymanska Kateryna
Published: June 2024

This study delves into the effects of external financial support (official development assistance and foreign direct investments) on economic activity and welfare based on data from five nations injured by similar military conflicts from 2006 to 2021. Focusing on Ukraine, the research recommends ways for policymakers to navigate external financing during wartime. The employment rate, GDP per capita, inflation rate, and exports are the foundations for our analysis. The methodological approach employed regression analysis to measure the economic effect of external financing in wartime in these conflict-ridden nations. The findings reveal that increased foreign direct investment during wartime correlates with reduced employment rates, heightened GDP per capita, and increased exports. In addition, the negative impact of official development assistance  ODA on employment was found, and it had a positive effect on exports but no significant effects on GDP per capita. A statistically significant impact on the inflation rate was not seen.

Published: June 2024

Mango fruits' quality, marketability, and shelf life are significantly influenced by postharvest decay. Mango fruit disease development during storage is inhibited by fungicides. The objective of this investigation was to assess the relative effectiveness of two fungicides, azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC and hexaconazole 5% SC, in mitigating postharvest deterioration of mango cv. ‘Langra’ during low temperature storage. Three pathogens were found associated with postharvest decay of mango, i.e. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Alternaria alternata, and Penicillium expansum. In comparison to untreated ones, the preharvest application of fungicide treatments provided noticeably better disease control. The foliar application of azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC (0.1%) 15 days before the harvesting of fruits significantly improved fruit firmness, soluble solid content, titratable acidity, reduced the disease incidence, percentage disease index, and lesion diameter followed by the application of hexaconazole 5% SC (0.1%) compared to the control. Furthermore, it was found that pre-harvest fungicide spraying of azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenoconazole 11.4% SC (0.1%) was an effective treatment for lowering postharvest deterioration and enhancing the physio-chemical characteristics of mango fruits during low-temperature storage.

Published: June 2024

In recent years, the development of probiotic-based fermented products with halal status has been a concern. The use of growth medium has relied on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) as a relatively expensive standard medium, and its halal status is still uncertain. Extensive research has been carried out to investigate the development of low-cost halal alternative media for the cultivation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aimed to develop a probiotic halal and low-cost culture medium using a tofu whey-based medium. This study used three tofu whey-based media – A (tofu whey 100%), B (tofu whey 94.5%, molasses 3%, skim milk 2.5%), C (tofu whey 92.5%, molasses 3%, cheese whey 2.5%, tomato extract 2%), and MRS broth as a standard medium. Bacterial populations, total sugars utilized, total lactic acids produced, low pH (2.0) tolerance, and high bile salt concentration (oxgall 1.5%) were assayed. The highest bacterial population after 48 h of incubation was shown by medium B compared to medium MRS (12.34 ± 0.87 and 11.48 ± 0.3 log CFU/mL). Total sugars utilized by 48.28 ± 2.89, 38.89 ± 6.94, 39.14 ± 4.24, and 76.00 ± 1.41 %; on the other hand, total lactic acids produced by 0.16 ± 0.12, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, and 2.25 ± 1.48 % in A, B, C, and MRS, respectively. Probiotic tolerance at low pH and the presence of bile salts of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum D4 consistently showed a high survival rate in medium B compared to MRS. Based on these results, the components and proportions used in medium B were suitable for the growth of L. plantarum D4 as a halal probiotic starter candidate.

Fishing technically represents one of the activities at sea that is classified as having a higher risk or level of danger than other work on land. According to the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 26 of 2014, every company must implement occupational safety and health standards starting from the management, employers, and all workers as a unit in a company, so that indirectly companies are required to be able to provide an understanding of occupational safety and health competencies. , to improve the work safety system. This research aims to determine the implementation of occupational safety and health aspects on the Purse Seine Ship. Aspects of occupational safety on purse seine vessels, consisting of firstly the application of occupational safety and health aspects when operating fishing gear, which are still not implemented well, and secondly the application of occupational safety and health aspects when handling catches, which are not yet complete and do not comply with established standards. has been established. Referring to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, the completeness of work safety equipment on purse seine ships still does not meet the specified equipment standards. For this reason, the Government must play a role in ensuring the implementation of work safety standards on fishing vessels, especially purse seine vessels.

Investigation of the Effect of High-Frequency Induction Sintering on Phase Structure and Microstructure of SiC Reinforced Aluminum Matrix Composites
Authors: Koç Muhterem , Zeybek Mehmet Sadrettin
Published: June 2024

In this study, SiC-reinforced aluminum matrix composites were powder metallurgically (PM) prepared and sintered using high-frequency induction system (HFIS). The samples with different ratios of SiC (wt.%10, 20 and 40) added to the aluminum matrix were sintered at 660, 800, and 1000 °C. In addition, Al/SiC composites were compared by sintering with the conventional sintering (CS) method under similar sintering conditions. The heating rate for the sintering process using HFIS was 500 °C/min, while the CS method used a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The effect of the temperature and SiC ratio on the density, hardness, phase structure, and microstructure of composites was investigated. The optimum sintering temperature was determined according to the SiC additive amount. When 10%, 20%, and 40% SiC by weight were added to the aluminum matrix in the sintering process with HFIS, the required sintering temperatures were determined as 660, 800, and 1000 °C, respectively. While new phases were not formed as a result of short-term HFIS sintering, a high-temperature Al4C3 phase was detected in CS sintering. HFIS sintered Al/SiC composite samples were obtained in Al and SiC phases with high density and hardness ranging from 43-118 HV. In the high-temperature sintering process with HFIS, the formation of Al4C3 was prevented and its physical and mechanical properties were improved.

Published: June 2024

Introdução: a pandemia de covid-19 acentuou problemas sociais relativos ao controle de doenças e aos direitos humanos, entre eles a garantia de acesso à alimentação adequada. Partindo desse contexto, neste texto busca-se realizar uma análise qualitativa do Manual de Recomendações de Alimentação e Covid-19, lançado pelo Ministério da Saúde, durante a pandemia. Objetivo: promover reflexões através da noção de educação em saúde, de modo a colaborar no que se refere a práticas que levem em conta a necessidade de adequação de recomendações alimentares e nutricionais a partir das realidades das comunidades. Método: foi desenvolvida análise documental. Para o tensionamento do material foi escolhida a análise do discurso, tendo em vista que tal prática toma a linguagem enquanto algo mais amplo que atos de fala ou de escrita, baseando-se nas subjetividades dos analistas. Resultados: há falhas relacionadas ao Manual analisado. Faz-se necessário ampliar o conceito de educação em saúde no âmbito das políticas públicas, envolvendo a comunidade e a empoderando com conhecimentos que partam de suas realidades. Esse movimento é conquistado por meio de projetos educacionais em que ocorre compartilhamento do conhecimento confiável e seguro, de modo com que a população possa adequá-lo aos seus contextos socioeconômicos. Conclusão: o manual apresenta fragilidades relacionadas à sua meta, por não conceber a realidade de muitos brasileiros e nem as consequências econômicas e sociais acarretadas pela pandemia, o que torna improvável um diálogo entre as partes, inviabilizando a produção de conhecimento eficaz.

Findings- The results reveal that Amazon, JD.com, and Alibaba companies with their autonomous distribution have a huge competitive advantage against their main competitors because they do not depend on external logistics companies, their parcel shipments are more personalized, and they reduce time and costs in their processes. Nevertheless, when e-commerce companies depend on external distribution, the quality of their parcel shipment services is highly dependent on logistics firms’ ability to provide excellent service to their consumers. Sometimes, consumers’ satisfaction is related to parcel shipments by logistics companies, which may be affected by poor services or even parcels arriving too late, and possibly customers will be dissatisfied.
Conclusion- In the light of the information obtained because of the research, the sustainable future of e-commerce companies will lie in their efficiency and efficacy management, the sustainability of the environment, logistics services, technological innovations, and marketing strategies to increase sales conversion and cover new consumers’ needs.

Authors: Ataker Alper , Tas Oktay
Published: June 2024

Purpose- The research investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Initial Public Offering (IPO) mispricing in the Turkish IPO market from 2010 to 2022. The study aims to offer valuable insights into the behavior of IPOs during this period, aiding investors and issuers in understanding the effects of the pandemic on IPO pricing. The findings may empower stakeholders, including investors, regulators, and market participants, to make more informed decisions in times of market volatility and uncertainty.
Methodology- The study utilizes two methods, ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression (QR), to analyze the impact of independent variables on IPO mispricing. OLS focuses on average effects, overlooking nuances in mispricing distribution. In contrast, QR allows the exploration of variable effects at different mispricing levels, accommodating the asymmetric distribution of returns. Employing QR helps identify specific impacts of variables on IPOs within distinct mispricing levels, addressing distribution heterogeneity observed in the sample. This robust approach enhances the study's ability to capture a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between independent variables and IPO mispricing.
Findings- The study reveals a substantial increase in IPO mispricing during the COVID-19 period, attributed to factors like heightened asymmetric information, reduced IPO volume, and decreased demand. Notably, the impact extends beyond the pandemic period, indicating a lasting effect on IPO mispricing. Sector-specific effects are observed, with all sectors, except Consumer Non-Cyclicals, showing significance in first-day returns. However, for 1-year returns, only the Finance and Energy sectors exhibit significance, with the latter slightly exceeding the 10% limit.
Conclusion- The study provides robust evidence of increased IPO mispricing during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the persistent impact of the crisis on financial markets, as well as sector-specific nuances influencing mispricing levels.
