Published: December 2023

Caries is one of the most common dental diseases in children, which is characterized by enamel demineralization. The condition of the hard tissues of temporary and permanent teeth is influenced by a significant number of factors, including the oral fluid that is in direct contact with the teeth. The mineralizing ability of the oral fluid affects the state of the hard tissues of the teeth, that is, the acid resistance of the enamel, the decrease of which leads to demineralization with further progression of the carious process. The aim of the study was to study the indicators of the mineralizing potential and the pH of the oral fluid in children aged 7–12 years with caries of temporary and permanent teeth and to compare them with the indicators of children with intact teeth. The dental status of 223 children aged 7–12 years was studied (in each child, the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth was determined and the DMFT (Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth) in the temporary bite, DMFT/dmft (Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth) in the variable bite, dft (decayed and filled teeth) in the permanent bite index was calculated), mineralizing potential and pH of the oral fluid were calculated. Indicators were compared in children with and without caries. The course of caries of both temporary and permanent teeth in children occurs against the background of a decrease in pH and microcrystallization of oral fluid. This is especially noticeable in children who have affected permanent teeth. The caries rate of temporary and permanent teeth has inverse correlations with the pH and microcrystallization index of the oral fluid. The obtained data suggest the need for primary and secondary prevention, aimed at improving oral homeostasis indicators, planned remediation, which will make it possible to reduce the prevalence and intensity of caries in children, which will be the subject of our further research.

Keywords: caries, intact teeth, pH of oral fluid, microcrystallization of oral fluid.

The article describes seismic observations in the Carpathian region in 2018–2019, which were carried out, as before, by two organizations from two states: in Ukraine – the Seismicity department of the Carpathian region of the Institute of Geophysics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, in Moldova – the seismology laboratory of the Institute of Geology and Seismology of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. The monitoring of seismicity was carried out 21 stationary digital and 3 temporary stations of Ukraine with a processing centre in Lviv and six stations of Moldova with a processing centre in Chisinau. The consolidated catalog of earthquakes was created in Lviv. The total number of Carpathian earthquakes in 2018–2019 was NΣ=99 in the range KR=4.5–13.6 within the interval of hypocenter depths h=0.4–157.5 km, with total seismic energy ΣE=4.2·1013 J. The maximum earthquake with KR=13.6, MSH=5.3 and hрР=150.6 km was registered on October 28, 2018 in the Vrancea zone. The epicentral zone was subjected to shaking with an intensity up to Ii=V by MM (Mercally) scale. The earthquake was felt by the population of Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldova and other European countries. In the Precarpathian and Transcarpathian regions, all earthquakes were weaker. For Transcarpathia, their energy class was in the range of KR=5.5–7.9, and the depths was in the range of h=0.6–8.0 km. The strongest event in Precarpathian was a tangible earthquake that occurred in the Drohobych district of the Lviv region on September 27, 2018 with KR=7.3 at a depth of 1.7±0.9 km. The strongest event in Bukovina was an earthquake of March 24, 2018 with KR=9.4, МSH=2.4 and h=1 km near Novodnestrovsk city, Ukraina, which was felt by the population of the village of Lomachintsy with an intensity of 4 points. In Novodnestrovsk, the earthquake was felt only on the upper floors. In general, in 2018–2019 there was a slight decrease in the level of seismicity in seismically active areas: № 1 (North-Western), № 2 (Vrancea), № 5 (Bukovina) and № 8 (Bacau), compared with that in the previous period 2016–2017. In areas № 3 (South Carpathians), № 4 (Banat) and № 7 (Transylvania) there was no earthquakes, and in area № 6 (Krishana) only there was one earthquake with КР=10.8, MSH=3.2.

Seismic monitoring of the territory of the North Caucasus in 2018–2019 was carried our by a seismic network of 66 stations. All stations were digitally equipped. The seismic network provided representative registration of earthquakes with KR≥7.0 in most of the territory, in its central (including the Greater Sochi region) and eastern parts – with KR≥6.0, and in some local zones – with KP≥5.5. In general, 6874 earthquakes have been recorded in the region and its environs. 59 earthquakes were felt in the Caucasus settlements, 26 of them occurred in the North Caucasus region. The maximum shaking intensity Imax=6 by the MSK-64 scale was noted from the Zagatala earthquake of June 5, 2018 with KR=14.1 occurred in the territory of the Azerbaijan and from Buynak-II earthquake of May 24, 2019 with KR=11.5 in Dagestan near the Chirkey reservoir. On the territory of Ossetia and Ingushetia (Tersko-Caspian forward trough) two earthquakes, Zamankul and Yandar, were felt with intensity up to I=5. A doublet EQ felt up to I=3–4 was recorded on November 24, 2018 (KR=10.3) and November 25, 2018 (KR=10.5) in the West Kuban marginal trough. In accordance with the seismicity level scale "SOUS-09", seismicity of the North Caucasus in 2018–2019 is set as a "background average" for the observation period from 1962 to 2019.

According to the information received from 20 stationary digital seismic stations of the Yakutia Branch of Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences, two-year (2018–2019) seismic monitoring of the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) was carried out. During this time interval, more than 730 earthquakes with an energy class of KR≥7.2 (magnitude M≥1.8) were registered. During the previous two years, their number was 801. Manifestations of seismicity fixed the spatial position of the contact zones and their constituent blocks of known lithospheric plates: the Eurasian and North American plates in the northeastern and arctic regions, as well as the Eurasian and Amur plates – in the southern areas of Yakutia. The epicentral fields traced individual relief lineaments and identified active boundary structures combined into two large-scale seismic belts – BaikalStanovoy and Arctic-Asian. Their outlines are seen as bands of earthquake epicenters, elongated from the Olekma River to the Sea of Okhotsk in the south and as ensembles of separate groups and chains of earthquakes between the Laptev and Okhotsk Seas in the northeast and in the Arctic. Significant seismic activity has been detected in the northeast of the region – in the Olekminsk region and the Aldan Highlands (South Yakutia), as well as in the Yano-Oymyakon Highlands, the Chersky Ridge and the Laptev Sea. A map of epicenters was constructed for the entire territory of the region, where 12 districts were identified and an analysis of the seismotectonic situation in each of them was given. The map of Arctic earthquakes in the Lena River delta is considered separately. It is compiled according to the processing of digital seismograms obtained at 25 autonomous field stations installed in accordance with the Russian-German project "Seismicity and Neotectonics of the Laptev Sea Region" (SIOLA). In this area during 2016–2019 more than 2 thousand shocks of small energy classes KR≥7.2–10.7 (M≥1.8–3.7) were recorded within the depth interval of 1–36 km of the Earth's crust. The characteristics of the most seismically active local tectonic structures developed in this region are given.

Authors: Stepanenco N.Ya. , Cardanets V.Yu.
Published: December 2023

All earthquakes felt in 2018–2019 on the territory of Moldova occurred outside its borders, in the Vrancea region (Romania), with intermediate depths in the range hрР=117–151 km. In 2018, the population of Moldova felt three earthquakes: March 14th, April 25th and October 28th. The article describes all of them, but with more details for the strongest of them on October 28th. The earthquake of March 14th with mb=4.5 and hрР=140 km was felt in the eastern and southern counties of Romania in seven localities. In Moldova, the earthquake was felt in Cahul with intensity I=3 and in Chisinau with I=2 by MSK-64. The epicenter was in the Vrancea Mountains. The earthquake of April 25th with mb=4.5 and hрР=151 km was felt in eight localities of the eastern and southern counties of Romania. Also it was felt in two localities in the central and southern regions of the Republic of Moldova. The earthquake of October 28th with mb=5.6 and hрР=151 km was most evident in the eastern and southern parts of Romania, but it was also felt in the north of Bulgaria, in Moldova and in the south-west of Ukraine. In 2019, the population of Moldova felt the earthquake on September 3rd with mb=4.5 and hрР=117 km. It was felt in six localities of the eastern and southern counties of Romania, as well as in the central and southern regions of the Republic of Moldova (in Cahul I=3–4, in Chisinau I=3). The focal mechanisms given in the article indicate that all the considered earthquakes occurred under the influence of the prevailing near-horizontal compression and intermediate extension.

The instrumental and macroseismic data on the earthquake of September 4, 2018 at 22h58m19s UTC, ML=5.4, I0=6.4±0.3 near the city of Katav-Ivanovsk in the Chelyabinsk region (South Urals) are presented. This event with ML=5.4 mb=5.5 became the strongest instrumentally recorded earthquake in the Urals and had the highest macroseismic effect among the Russian earthquakes in 2018 (I0=6.4±0.3). For the first time in the practice of processing macroseismic data in the Urals, the Seismic Intensity Scale 2017 (GOST R 57546-2017) was used. For the first time for natural earthquakes in the Urals, an aftershock process was recorded, the active stage of which lasted about 11 months, while many aftershocks had a significant macroseismic effect. Taking into account the spatial orientation of the aftershock cloud, the focal mechanism solution was confirmed and the tectonic position of the source was substantiated.

Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Flow Velocity and Inlet Position on the Pressure Drop in the Exhaust Manifold
Authors: Maretha Unique Reinauli Turangan
Published: December 2023

The exhaust manifold, also known as the exhaust header, is an important channel in the combustion chamber of a car. The exhaust manifold's role is to collect exhaust gas from various exhaust channels and direct it to the catalyst and car exhaust muffler for filtering. This research was conducted to see the pressure loss in the exhaust manifold at different speed conditions and different inlet positions on an engine with 4 cylinders. The speed variations used were 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 m/s while the inlet position variations used were 1 and 3 and 2 and 4. The method used was numerical simulation. Geometry is created in the CAD software, then proceed with creating a mesh and setting boundary conditions. The results obtained show that the greater the flow rate, the greater the pressure drop. Based on the inlet position, positions 2 and 4 tend to have a greater pressure drop than positions 1 and 3 at each of the same speed. The largest pressure drop is 1.5438 Pa at a speed of 0.8 m/s with inlet channels 2 and 4.
Factors affecting household debt to moneylenders
Authors: Mustika Mustika , Hasanah Neneng , Irfany Mohammad Iqbal
Published: December 2023

Purpose: Moneylenders, sometimes called 'loan sharks' due to their high interest rates, are informal financial institutions that offer loans not in line with Islamic law. This study analyzes the factors that influence the behavior of households regarding debt to moneylenders.
Research Methodology: This research employs descriptive and logistic regression analyses using primary data collected from locals in Jagapura village, Cirebon.
Result: The results indicate that basic household necessities determine their debt behavior. However, Islamic financial literacy and increasing income present effective solutions for moneylenders to overcome their debt.
Limitation: This study is based on primary data from a specific village, Jagapura, in Cirebon, which may not be representative of all households in debt to moneylenders in other regions or settings.
Contribution: The study suggests that Islamic financial institutions should assist unbankable communities needing funds for daily expenses by performing social functions such as offering interest-free loans (qardhul hasan) and providing Islamic social finance. The establishment of sharia compliant savings and loans could also be a solution to usury-related issues.

Urban Transit Infrastructure: Spatial Mismatch and Labor Market Power
Authors: Vial Lecaros Felipe , D. Zárate Román , Pérez Pérez Jorge
Published: December 2023

This paper estimates the effects of a subway expansion on labor market outcomes in Santiago, Chile. First, we estimate these effects through a reduced-form analysis. We find changes in work locations and wages consistent with a reduction in firms' labor market power in areas where the subway expanded. We then lay out a model with labor market oligopsonies to calculate the welfare gains from the subway expansion. The model allows decomposition of welfare gains into i) efficiency gains from improved worker-firm matching and ii) gains from reducing labor misallocation due to labor market power. We analyze the distributional implications of the subway expansion. We find that workers benefit as firms see reduced profits. In a model with labor market power these welfare gains are larger than in a competitive model.

Introduction. East and West Entangled (17th-21st Centuries)
Authors: Minuti Rolando , Tarantino Giovanni
Published: December 2023

“History has to reorient”, as the historian and sociologist Andre Gunder Frank observed. In the global or globalised age, a culture is no longer regarded as a discrete entity, but rather as a hybrid formation that interacts with other cultures in an incessant process of multidirectional exchange. As a means of introduction to the volume East and West Entangled (17th-21st Centuries), this essay reminds historians that to conduct transcultural analyses they need to be alert to the multiple ways, comic intents included, in which difference is negotiated within contacts and encounters – from selective appropriation to rejection or resistance.
Emotion and Female Authority: A Comparison of Chinese and English Fiction in the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Jin Wen
Published: December 2023

This essay considers how early modern Chinese romance novels conceive of female agency and how this conception was received by prominent cultural elites in eighteenth-century England. In his notes to Hau Kiou Choaan, the first English translation of a full-length Chinese novel, Thomas Percy referred to the novel’s heroine as a “masculine woman”, displaying a peculiar misreading of its trope of female cross-dressing. The essay argues that the increasing association of women with the private sphere in eighteenth-century English culture is a crucial context to consider when we study the initial spread of Chinese fiction in England.
“Le Louvre va nous être rendu!”. La nuova sistemazione del museo parigino nei giornali all’indomani della guerra: André Chastel e gli altri (1945-1953)
Authors: Renzulli Eva
Published: December 2023

In the aftermath of World War II, the reopening of the Louvre Museum became an important issue. The process was long and complex, and the rationale not always obvious to the public. Newspapers played an important role in conveying the methods applied to achieve it. In 1951, the art historian André Chastel published, in Le Monde, a critical inquiry on the situation of the Parisian Museum. His analysis stands out for its accuracy in describing the state of the building, revealing the curators’ and architects’ challenges due to the modernization of display methods. His work also aspired to raise public awareness on the functioning of a museum, highlighting the process of implementing its internal services (libraries and avant-garde scientific laboratories). Drawing on Chastel’s analysis and, from a comparative perspective, those of other journalists and art critics, this study highlights the value of the engaged journalism of these well-informed critics as relevant sources to appreciate the different transformations used to put the Louvre’s modernization into practice.
Dysphagia: Clinical Evaluation, Assessment and Management
Authors: Yahia Mohammad Ammar Mohamad Kais , Shariba Aktham N. , Mobarek Ehab M.
Published: December 2023

Dysphagia is a common problem affecting all ages. It’s divided into oropharyngeal dysphagia and esophageal dysphagia. Oropharyngeal dysphagia manifests as difficulty initiating swallowing, coughing, choking, or aspiration, and it is most commonly caused by chronic neurologic conditions such as stroke, Parkinson disease, or dementia, and Obstructive (oropharyngeal) symptoms that seem to originate in the throat or neck may actually be caused by distal esophageal lesions. Patients with esophageal dysphagia may report a sensation of food getting stuck after swallowing. This condition is most caused by gastro esophageal reflux disease and functional esophageal disorders. Eosinophilic esophagitis is triggered by food allergens and is increasingly prevalent. Careful history taking remains the ﬁrst and most important step in evaluating dysphagia, and it is especially important to distinguish an oropharyngeal versus esophageal origin, which helps to guide further investigation and therapy. The three main investigations for dysphagia remain endoscopy, barium study and manometry, with endoscopy also offering therapeutic potential. Management is largely determined according th the eventual diagnosis, often in a multi-disciplinary setting.

INFLUENCE OF ROLLING SPEED ON THE TEMPERATURE FIELD DURING COLD ROLLING OF ALUMINIUM SHEETS
Authors: Stachowicz Feliks
Published: December 2023

One of the effects of plastic deformation is an increase in the temperature of the formed metal. The rolling pressure, friction stress, and contact state show different characteristics in different zones along the deformation zone, which causes the heat generation and transfer states to be different, so the strip temperature is subject to a complex change process. The paper presents the results of experimental temperature measurements at several points on the width of the rolled strip and on the surface of the working rolls depending on the rolling speed in the range of 0.5-4.0 m/s. The results obtained showed a clear dependence of both the strip temperature and the working roll temperature on the rolling speed, with the increase in strip temperature being more intense. At very high rolling speeds, the temperature of the rolled sheet may even exceed 1000C, which is unfavourable due to the possibility of the formation of deposits on the surface of the rollers.

The teaching and working world has been disrupted by developments known as the 4th Industrial Revolution.  As we grappled with the Covid-19 epidemic the world saw massive disruptions in how and where we work, teach, learn and socialize.  As moves to continue the social via virtual platforms increased as a result of Covid-19 restrictions we saw disruptions in everyday social meaning making. This article via reflections from personal observation and conversations with colleagues engages with the idea of voice recognition as an important social cue in virtual interactions. The article shows how taken for granted social markers of engagement can be rendered useless in context were the only connector to the people you are interacting with is their voice. The article challenges us to engage with the following questions: What impacts does the move to virtuality have on social engagements that allow us to humanize each other? What can we do to maintain the important social cues important for meaning making in context of teaching, counseling, consultation as we see many of these roles move to the virtual space?
Sociology in the Clinic
Authors: Zorbaugh Harvey
Published: December 2023

The past twenty-five years have witnessed a great change in the behavior of sociologists. A quarter of a century ago the majority of sociologists might fairly have been labeled either philosophers or reformers. They dreamed on the one hand of cosmic cycles in the affairs of men; on the other hand, of utopia realized on earth. Today the great majority of sociologists —at least of the younger generation of sociologists —are scientists, attempting to develop methodology and techniques which will yield a greater understanding of, and, we may hope, control over a man’s social behavior.

Published: December 2023

Исследование периферической крови представлено важнейшими диагностическими методами. Существует много различных современных методик для диагностики системы крови, одной из которых является анализ крови. Органы кроветворения являются наиболее чувствительными к любым воздействиям на организм как внутренней, так и внешней среды и проявляют общую картину крови, которая является отражением этих воздействий.
В настоящее время физиологами все еще рассматриваются вопросы о количественных и качественных изменениях параметров периферической крови при физической нагрузке. В современной литературе предлагается много научных материалов, которые показывают изменения в системе крови при физических нагрузках. По свидетельствам различных ученых физически активные люди имеют больший объем циркулирующей крови, увеличенное количество форменных клеток крови, более высокий гемоглобин и высокий процент гематокрита.
Адаптационная подвижность и функциональная устойчивость всех систем, а также всего организма в целом, определяются теми изменениями, которые происходят в периферической крови.

Authors: Cárdenas Holgado Manuel Juan , Vargas Bejarano Mario Nicanor
Published: December 2023

El valor compartido es un concepto en evolución que desafía el paradigma capitalista tradicional al enfocarse en cómo las empresas pueden abordar las necesidades de la sociedad a la vez que generan beneficios. Es a partir de la publicación de Porter y Kramer que se convirtió en un tema relevante tanto en la academia como en la práctica empresarial y gubernamental. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal realizar un análisis bibliométrico sobre el valor compartido con un enfoque cuantitativo para describir la producción científica en el tiempo, identificar los artículos de mayor impacto e identificar los temas relaciona al valor compartido en los repositorios académicos SCOPUS y Web of Science (WOS). Entre los hallazgos más relevantes, están que, idea de valor compartido tiene un primer antecedente en 1990 en SCOPUS; y, no es hasta la publicación de Porter y Kramer (2011), que la producción científica ve un auge en el número de publicaciones, destacando Estados Unidos como el país con el mayor número de publicaciones y la revista del Harvard Business Review aquella con mayor impacto al ser citada 7387 veces. En conclusión, el estudio del valor compartido es un nuevo paradigma que surge en respuesta a los entornos de crisis, que se empieza a discutir e implementar prolíficamente en el 2011 y que se vincula con los conceptos: desarrollo sostenible, sostenibilidad y sustentabilidad desde una perspectiva tripartita que considere aspectos económicos, sociales y ambientales.

Published: December 2023

The basic parameter for evaluating the efficiency of airport operations is capacity. Investment planning in the aviation industry is a complex process, requiring consideration of many factors and a combination of different aspects. The aim of the study is to present the possibility of using discrete event simulation as a tool for determining the capacity of runways at airports. The main research problem of the article is: How to build a simulation model for determining the capacity of an airport runway using FlexSim software? An attempt was made to build simulation model, the purpose of which is to carry out simulation analyzes of airport capacity, and in particular of the runway. Simulation analyzes were performed using the FlexSim 3D Simulation software. The article discusses in detail the operating principle of the model and presents the results of numerical tests carried out to calculate the capacity of runways and taxiways at airports. The constructed simulation model of the airport capacity in the FlexSim environment enables to determine the airport’s runway capacity, constituting valuable information to support modernization decisions. The model may contribute to the efficient adjustment of the runway capacity. It should be noted that the creation of an effective system dedicated to a given airport will improve the air traffic control carried out by the system based on calculated maximum hourly runway capacity.
The impact of supply chain disruptions on the opportunity costs of road transport companies in Poland. A case study
Authors: Gądek-Hawlena Teresa , Heliosz Patryk
Published: December 2023

The mission of many businesses around the world is to strive for continuous growth in their operations, thereby increasing their operability and profits generated. There are at least several ways to do this - from increasing the scope of a company's operations to looking for weak links within the company, thus optimising the costs incurred. It so happens, however, that it is not internal conditions that shape the business entity, but external influences over which one does not always have control. It then remains to adapt to the new reality and, as far as possible, reduce its negative impact. The aim of the study was to analyse the disruptions created within supply chains and their impact on the transport company. The problem discussed referred to the issue of opportunity cost - in particular the cost of lost opportunities and benefits, in order to then propose changes and actions to reduce the adverse effects from external influences. Based on the research conducted, it can be concluded that disruptions in supply chains affect companies' opportunity costs (1). By identifying and analysing disruptions, several options for minimising opportunity costs can be identified (2). Considering the disruptions in supply chains under the impact of the global crises, the following are cited as the most relevant: disruptions related to on-time delivery, limited opportunities to hire new drivers and opportunities to acquire a new set of vehicles (3). These disruptions prevented the surveyed entity from expanding its operations and thus impacted on its opportunity costs.
