Authors: Temunović Martina , Šola Zrinka , Jakšić Viktor , Vidaković Antonio , Liber Zlatko , Poljak Igor , Bogdanović Sandro
Published: February 2024

In the eastern Adriatic flora the genus Pistacia L. (Anacardiaceae) is represented with P. lentiscus L., P. terebinthus L., their hybrid P. × saportae Burnat and the cultivated P. vera L. In addition, an endemic putative taxon from Mt. Biokovo was described in 1985 as P. calcivora Radić. Our aim was to resolve relationships between the four putative indigenous taxa of this genus in Croatia (P. lentiscus, P. terebinthus, P. × saportae and P. calcivora) based on genetic (AFLP) and morphological data. Specifically, we aimed to determine the presence of the hybrid taxon P. × saportae and to validate the controversial taxonomic status of P. calcivora at the molecular and morphological levels. Our combined results indicate the presence of two well separated groups of populations. The first group included all individuals of P. terebinthus and the individuals initially assigned to the potential taxon P. calcivora based on leaf morphology, suggesting that there is no support for the described taxon P. calcivora and that it should be considered as a synonym for P. terebinthus. The second group corresponded to P. lentiscus and included the majority of the presumed hybrid individuals of P. × saportae. However, four hybrid individuals were confirmed at the molecular level and were placed between the two parental taxa in the phylogenetic tree, confirming the presence of P. × saportae in Croatia. Although confirmed P. × saportae individuals were genetically closer to P. lentiscus, they were morphologically more similar to P. terebinthus, hindering their correct identification in the field.

Antinomi antara Putusan Perdamaian sebagai Putusan Penghabisan dengan Prinsip Pengadilan Dilarang Menolak Perkara
Authors: Hartono Teguh , Saputro Triyono Adi , Larasati Shabrina Rifdah
Published: February 2024

Perkembangan penanganan perkara hukum bisnis dalam era digital saat ini lebih menekankan pada penyelesaian sengketa secara damai melalui prosedur mediasi. Putusan Perdamaian mempunyai kekuatan sebagai putusan hakim pada tingkat penghabisan, sebagaimana ketentuan Pasal 1858 KUH Perdata, Pasal 127,129,130, 195 HIR, namun dalam praktek terjadi antinomi hukum dalam penerapannya. Penelitian hukum ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa putusan perdamaian tidak dapat diajukan perlawanan (verzet), namun karena berbenturan dengan prinsip pengadilan dilarang menolak perkara, sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 10 Ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 48 Tahun 2009 Tentang Kekuasaan Kehakiman maka perkara tersebut tetap diperiksa walaupun pada akhirnya diberikan putusan perlawanan tidak dapat diterima, sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum, oleh karenanya perlu diatur melalui suatu regulasi yang diterbitkan oleh Mahkamah Agung.

Hypertension is a common disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. The disease is a silent threat to the health of people all over the world. Thus, early detection of hypertension and its precipitating or aggravating factors are important if one is to evolve measures so that complications of hypertension can be prevented. On the other hand obesity is a major health problem that affecting women mostly. Obesity has become one of our nation’s leading epidemics. According to the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) obesity has almost tripled over the past 30 years. Obesity is strongly associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Obesity is also associated with endothelial dysfunction and renal functional abnormalities that may play a role in the development of hypertension. The continuing discovery of mechanisms regulating appetite and metabolism is likely to lead to new therapies for obesity-induced hypertension. Methodology: A non-experimental approach with simple random sampling technique was used in the study. The data was collected through body mass index scoring sheet, assessment sheet for hypertension and health assessment Performa. The final study was also conducted on 200 women in selected area of Punjab. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to analyze the data. Result: The results showed that out of 200 subjects 42.5% were overweight. 30.5% subjects comes under pre hypertension, 16% subject comes under stage- I hypertension while only 3% subjects comes under stage –II hypertension category. The findings revealed that there was a significant association between hypertension with demographic variable like age, education, duration of hypertension, type of family and life style and not any significant association between hypertension and demographic variables such as occupation, religion, marital status, family history of hypertension, family history of obesity, income (monthly) and dietary pattern. There was a significant association between obesity with demographic variable like marital status, duration of hypertension and life style and not any significant association between obesity and demographic variables such as Age, education, occupation, religion, family history of hypertension, family history of obesity, income (monthly), type of family and dietary pattern.

Ferromagnetic resonance spectra of linear magnetosome chains
Authors: Gubanova Elizaveta M , Usov Nikolai A
Published: February 2024

The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra of oriented and non-oriented assemblies of linear magnetosome chains are calculated by solving the stochastic Landau–Lifshitz equation. The dependence of the shape of the FMR spectrum of a dilute assembly of chains on the particle diameter, the number of particles in a chain, the distance between the centers of neighboring particles, the mutual orientation of the cubic axes of particle anisotropy, and the value of the magnetic damping constant is studied. It is shown that FMR spectra of non-oriented chain assemblies depend on the average particle diameter at a fixed thickness of the lipid magnetosome membrane, as well as on the value of the magnetic damping constant. At the same time, they are practically independent of the number Np of particles in the chain under the condition Np ≥ 10. The FMR spectra of non-oriented assemblies of magnetosome chains are compared with that of random clusters of interacting spherical magnetite nanoparticles. The shape of FMR spectra of both assemblies is shown to differ appreciably even at sufficiently large values of filling density of random clusters.

Authors: Корнеева В.А.
Published: February 2024

В работе рассматривается функционирование разных типов аттракторов как средств реализации дискурсивной категории аттрактивности в медийном дискурсе. Актуальность исследования обусловлена необходимостью повышения качества взаимодействия между коммуникантами и изучения дискурсивных категорий с целью увеличения перлокутивного эффекта на адресата. Целью исследования является выявление и характеристика средств реализации категории аттрактивности в институциональном медийном дискурсе в жанре научно-популярной статьи. Материалом исследования выступает российский научно-популярный журнал «Коммерсантъ Наука» как репрезентант институционального медийного дискурса. Для анализа эмпирического материала использовался комплексный подход, сочетающий качественный контент-анализ и визуальные методики анализа. Научная новизна исследования состоит в том, что автором впервые предлагается соотнести категорию аттрактивности, исходя из ее адресантно-адресатной природы, с группой семантико-прагматических дискурсивных категорий; предпринимается попытка проанализировать взаимосвязь между категориями аттрактивности и диалогичности при интеграции аттракторов перформативного типа в текст научно-популярной статьи и обосновать конвергенцию категории аттрактивности и категорий поликодовости и интертекстуальности при применении аттракторов людического типа в качестве средства придания аттрактивного характера текстам статей научно-популярного журнала.

The paper considers the functioning of different types of attractors as means of implementing the discursive category of attractiveness in media discourse. The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the quality of interaction between communicants and to study discursive categories in order to increase the perlocutionary effect on the addressee. The purpose of the study is to identify and characterize the means of implementing the category of attractiveness in institutional media discourse in the genre of a popular science article. The research material is the Russian popular science magazine Kommersant Naukaas a representative of institutional media discourse. To analyze the empirical material, an integrated approach was used, combining qualitative content analysis and visual analysis techniques. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the author proposes for the first time to correlate the category of attractiveness, based on the relationship between addresser and addressee, with a group of semantic-pragmatic discursive categories. The author makes an attempt to analyze the relationship between the categories of attractiveness and dialogicity while integrating performative type of attractors into the text of a popular science article and to substantiate the convergence of the category of attractiveness and the categories of polycode and intertextuality when using ludic type attractors as a means of imparting an attractive character to the texts of articles in a popular science magazine.

Authors: Saydam Mehmet Bahri , Arıcı Ozan , Ünür Mert , Arasli Hüseyin
Published: February 2024

Purpose: This research aims to elucidate the unique features shaping Norway's destination image by analyzing User-Generated Content (UGC) from tourists. The primary focus is on identifying key themes within the UGC that are associated with both satisfaction and dissatisfaction, thereby contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing visitors' perceptions of Norway as a destination.
Method: This research centers on TripAdvisor reviews, the prominent platform in hospitality. It specifically explores attractions in Norway by examining travel websites. The dataset, comprising 10,250 usable reviews, was processed and analyzed using Leximancer software.
Findings: Our research results demonstrated nine dominant themes in descriptions of Norway travel experiences: “Norway,” “places,” “train,” “hiking,” “rental,” “expensive,” “hotel,” “northern lights,” and “restaurants.” The themes used with negative comments were “train,” “rental,” and “expensive.” The benefits of incorporating UGC in tourist research are highlighted by the excellent insights acquired. The findings also provide a visual depiction of the primary themes and concepts in visitors' narratives, allowing for a better understanding of the key features of destination image.
Conclusion: Our study leverages Leximancer's software to autonomously identify key themes in tourists' user-generated content (UGC), offering valuable insights into how travelers perceive Norway's destination image. The prominence of specific themes is emphasized, minimizing researcher intervention and enriching the existing literature by highlighting predominant themes associated with satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Our content analysis reveals distinct perspectives from different tourist segments, with negative UGC linked to aspects such as pricing, transportation, and rentals, while positive UGC focuses on Norway's experiences, natural attractions, hotels, and restaurants. By providing a detailed examination of satisfaction ratings, our research contributes to destination image literature, offering clarity on service features that contribute to perceived "value for money." Moreover, our use of machine learning algorithms offers a practical roadmap for destination marketing organizations to enhance their marketing strategies by aligning them with tourist opinions on platforms like TripAdvisor, thus facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of the destination image.

ESG as an Important Factor of Company Profitability and as a Moderation of Corporate Value
Authors: DINARJITO Agung
Published: February 2024

Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) aspects are currently one of the important things that investors consider. This is related to the company's efforts to participate in protecting the environment to achieve sustainability. The ESG aspect is expected to be able to increase profitability which later with ESG can also affect company value. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether ESG can affect company profitability and firm value as well as moderate profitability to firm value. Samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique which was then analyzed using linear regression. The research object is a company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2021 that already has an ESG score, the data of which was obtained from Bloomberg. The results showed that ESG had no effect on profitability and firm value, profitability had a significant effect on firm value, and ESG had not been able to moderate profitability on firm value. The results of this study have implications that ESG aspects need to be aligned with company goals and improvements to all ESG aspects also need to be done. ESG is not only carried out to fulfill regulatory requirements.
Jump-starting Relativistic Flows and the M87 Jet
Authors: Lyutikov Maxim , Ibrahim Ahmad
Published: February 2024

We point out the dominant importance of plasma injection effects of relativistic winds from pulsars and black holes. We demonstrate that outside the light cylinder, the magnetically dominated outflows sliding along the helical magnetic field move nearly radially with very large Lorentz factors, γ
0 ≫ 1, imprinted into the flow during pair production within the gaps. Only at larger distances, r ≥ γ
0(c/Ω), does MHD acceleration Γ ∝ r take over. As a result, Blandford–Znajek (BZ)-driven outflows produce spine-brightened images. The best-resolved case of the jet in M87 shows both edge-brightened features, as well as weaker spine-brightened features. Only the spine-brightened component can be BZ driven/originate from the black hole's magnetosphere.
A survey on state-of-the-art experimental simulations for privacy-preserving federated learning in intelligent networking
Authors: Ros Seyha , Tam Prohim , Song Inseok , Kang Seungwoo , Kim Seokhoon
Published: February 2024

Federated learning (FL) provides a collaborative framework that enables intelligent networking devices to train a shared model without the need to share local data. FL has been applied in communication networks, which offers the dual advantage of preserving user privacy and reducing communication overhead. Networking systems and FL are highly complementary. Networking environments provide critical support for data acquisition, edge computing capabilities, round communication/connectivity, and scalable topologies. In turn, FL can leverage capabilities to achieve learning adaptation, low-latency operation, edge intelligence, personalization, and, notably, privacy preservation. In our review, we gather relevant literature and open-source platforms that point out the feasibility of conducting experiments at the confluence of FL and intelligent networking. Our review is structured around key sections, including the introduction of FL concepts, the background of FL applied in networking, and experimental simulations covering networking for FL and FL for networking. Additionally, we delved into case studies showcasing FL potential in optimizing state-of-the-art network optimization objectives, such as learning performance, quality of service, energy, and cost. We also addressed the challenges and outlined future research directions that provide valuable guidance to researchers and practitioners in this trending field.
Alonso de Madrigal sobre los Juramentos de la Torá: ¿Quién es un judaizante a comienzos del siglo XV?
Authors: Yisraeli Yosi
Published: February 2024

Este artículo presenta un breve tratado, hasta ahora inadvertido, sobre los juramentos interreligiosos del teólogo y canonista Alonso de Madrigal, “El Tostado” (c.1438). En este tratado, Madrigal aprobó los juramentos judíos sobre la Torá basándose en una actitud extraordinariamente favorable hacia la Biblia Hebrea, afirmando que era un libro no menos cristiano que judío. Asimismo, Madrigal abordó la práctica de los cristianos que juran sobre la Torá, examinando si constituye un pecado de judaización – ofreciéndonos así un testimonio temprano sobre el problema de la judaización de los conversos y su costumbre de jurar “como judíos”. Como veremos, las opiniones de Madrigal sobre esta cuestión eran muy diferentes de las normas inquisitoriales. Estaba dispuesto a aprobar prácticas que se considerarían escandalosas en unos pocos años. En ese marco, su obra ilustra cuán dinámica fue la acusación de judaización Además, como argumento, las posiciones de Madrigal con respecto a los juramentos sobre la Torá formaban parte de un enfoque intelectual más amplio hacia la Biblia y los orígenes judíos de la Iglesia, que fue popular entre los eruditos ibéricos de principios del siglo XV.
Inquisición y menores. El caso de la familia de santa Teresa de Jesús
Authors: Esteve Secall Rafael
Published: February 2024

Recientes investigaciones acerca del padre de santa Teresa de Jesús –Alonso Sánchez de Cepeda– cuya vida es bastante desconocida, nos han llevado a indagar en la reconciliación de Juan Sánchez de Toledo, abuelo de la Reformadora del Carmelo, ante el tribunal de la Inquisición de esa ciudad en 1485 y los efectos sobre su descendencia. Este caso concreto pone de relieve lo poco que se sabe del tratamiento de la Inquisición con los hijos menores de los judeoconversos reconciliados. Al margen del interés particular en la familia de la Santa carmelita, nuestro estudio de las primeras normas inquisitoriales y sus cambios nos ha permitido deducir las difíciles circunstancias en que vivían las familias semitas que decidieron cristianizarse para permanecer en España tras la expulsión de los judíos en 1492. También explican el porqué del traslado de su residencia desde Toledo a Ávila en 1490 y los pasos seguidos por el linaje teresiano para sortear los obstáculos que les impedían el anhelado ascenso social en la España veterocristiana.
La moda del judeoespañol. Defectos y pseudociencia en la lingüística sefardí
Authors: Sinner Carsten
Published: February 2024

El objetivo del trabajo es mostrar que el auge del estudio lingüístico del judeoespañol conlleva la aparición de trabajos cuyos autores no parecen estar del todo informados sobre la realidad del judeoespañol o malinterpretan aspectos esenciales de los contextos en los que se emplea o empleaba el judeoespañol. Se analizaron y clasificaron los problemas o errores que presentan algunas de las 410 publicaciones estudiadas con este propósito en el ámbito de la lingüística general e hispánica aparecidas entre 1990 y 2022 en diferentes lenguas, ante todo, español, inglés, alemán y francés. La metodología responde a un diseño mixto en el que, partiendo de la introspección y observación, se incluyeron, además del análisis de textos, el enfoque historiográfico y el escrutinio de series de texto, entrevistas a expertos de los estudios del judeoespañol, cuestionarios y entrevistas sobre experiencias con la publicación de trabajos sobre el judeoespañol así como estudios de campo para tener en cuenta, también, las normas para la presentación de originales, los procesos de control de calidad (como la revisión por pares). En los análisis se tienen en cuenta aspectos historiográficos, sociolingüísticos, glotopolíticos y el enfoque de la lingüística de variedades.

Portraits anonymes : Éthique et méthodologie en contexte post‑génocidaire (Guatemala)
Authors: Morand Coralie
Published: February 2024

Cet article se base sur une enquête ethnographique de près d’un an dans la région maya ixil du Guatemala, zone ayant été le théâtre d’une politique génocidaire il y a une quarantaine d’années. L’auteure propose ici d’explorer l’usage ethnographique des portraits par un questionnement autour de l’anonymat. À partir de l’histoire de vie d’une figure politique et militante, elle soulève les enjeux méthodologiques et éthiques qui traversent l’étape de la restitution de données produites dans le contexte particulier du post-génocide. Qui doit-on laisser anonyme ? Quelles données peuvent être partagées publiquement ? Comment « brouiller les pistes » lorsque les interlocuteurs ont des profils particulièrement identifiables ? Avec l’essor d’internet et de la recherche en accès libre, ces questions sont devenues centrales pour les anthropologues, y compris lorsque les milieux d’enquête ne présentent pas des tensions aussi vives que celles du post-conflit.

Published: February 2024

Cet article présente un travail de recherche et de film documentaire en cours qui repose sur des vidéos YouTube réalisées par des ouvrier·es étranger·es en Pologne. Il s’intéresse principalement aux images tournées d’une part dans les usines dans lesquelles ces personnes travaillent, mais surtout dans leurs lieux de vie. Rares traces de formes de logements ouvriers actuelles, ces portraits-vidéos en ligne documentent les modes d’habiter temporaires qui se déploient aujourd’hui en Pologne, en lien avec les conditions de travail. L’analyse et le montage de ces portraits-vidéos sont à la fois une méthode d’enquête et un moyen de faire dialoguer différents espaces, faisant ainsi résonner des situations entre elles. Ce projet s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une thèse intitulée « Habiter la zone », développée au sein du programme de recherche et de création artistiques RADIAN.
Connections and Disconnections in the Armenian Transnation: the Case of Armenian Americans and Armenia
Authors: Der Sarkissian Anouche
Published: February 2024

The Armenian dispersion is often studied as a textbook diaspora, with a common origin, collective memory, shared interests, and a sense of co-responsibility. Among the different components of the Armenian “transnation,” Armenian Americans occupy a unique and influential position. The long history of Armenian migration to North America has given rise to a visible ethno-cultural community that has been at the forefront of multifaceted efforts to preserve the ancestral culture, assist Armenia, and campaign for certain causes, with recognition of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 being the most emblematic. However, despite this “special relationship”, for more than a century, the connection between Armenian Americans and the Republic of Armenia has been complex, consisting of cooperation, dependence, disagreements, contested leadership and thwarted dreams. In addition, since the 1960s the continual influx to the US of Armenian migrants hailing from different countries has contributed to an extremely composite stock of Armenian Americans, one that hardly conforms to the traditional definitions of a diaspora. Such internal fragmentation translates into heterogeneous transnational practices and multiple forms of engagement with Armenia. This article uses the example of Armenian Americans to show that the relationship between a diaspora and its homeland does not necessarily run along a smooth and even path. The ebb and flow of history changes the nation-state and its exile community and eventually impacts the ties they maintain.
Deimplementation of Gastric Residual Volume Monitoring to Enhance Patient Nutrition
Authors: Landgrave Hannah E.
Published: February 2024

Background

Routine gastric residual volume monitoring remains common in nursing practice. However, current evidence supports using a focused nursing assessment to identify signs and symptoms of enteral feeding intolerance such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and vomiting.

Local Problem

At the author’s institution, nurses and other clinicians began reporting inconsistencies in gastric residual volume monitoring along with frequent interruptions in the delivery of enteral nutrition.

Interventions

The quality improvement project included patients in the medical intensive care unit receiving enteral nutrition. Gastric residual volume monitoring was eliminated. Instead, enteral nutrition was suspended on the basis of signs and symptoms of enteral feeding intolerance. Multimodal education was provided to nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians caring for these patients. Formative evaluation occurred via staff rounds, summative evaluation occurred through a staff survey, and nutritional adequacy was evaluated by tracking patient weight.

Results

The 6-week project included 37 patients on the medical intensive care unit service. Of these patients, 28 gained weight; the mean change in weight was +6.2%. The practice change was well perceived by staff and is now an established part of care for any patient receiving enteral feedings at the study hospital.

Conclusions

The deimplementation of routine gastric residual volume monitoring is supported by evidence. Use of a focused gastrointestinal nursing assessment to identify enteral feeding intolerance is safe, feasible, and effective and improves nutrition delivery and nurses’ workflow.

Published: February 2024

Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation are reported to have a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, a leading cause of acute kidney injury. The present study investigated the role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) in ROS production and inflammation following IR injury.Methods: We used a streptozotocin-induced diabetic C57BL6/J mouse model, which was subjected to IR by clamping both renal pedicles. Cellular apoptosis and inflammatory markers were evaluated in NRK-52E cells and mouse primary tubular cells after hypoxia and reoxygenation using a hypoxia work station.Results: Following IR injury in diabetic mice, the expression of PDK4, rather than the other PDK isoforms, was induced with a marked increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase E1α (PDHE1α) phosphorylation. This was accompanied by a pronounced ROS activation, as well as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) production. Notably, sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) attenuated renal IR injury-induced apoptosis which can be attributed to reducing PDK4 expression and PDHE1α phosphorylation levels. DCA or shPdk4 treatment reduced oxidative stress and decreased TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and MCP-1 production after IR or hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.Conclusion: PDK4 inhibition alleviated renal injury with decreased ROS production and inflammation, supporting a critical role for PDK4 in IR mediated damage. This result indicates another potential target for reno-protection during IR injury; accordingly, the role of PDK4 inhibition needs to be comprehensively elucidated in terms of mitochondrial function during renal IR injury.
Estimation of Risk Factors for Intellectual Disability in North Karnataka Region: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Kuriakose Theaja , Tom Divya
Published: February 2024

Introduction:

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by three main clinical conditions, i.e., cognitive deficiencies, impairments of adaptive function, and onset during the developmental period. The causes of ID include genetic abnormalities, as well as prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal environmental factors such as exposure to toxic agents, nutritional deficiencies, childhood brain infections, and maternal infections such as rubella and cytomegalovirus may lead to ID. The present study attempted to perform a detailed analysis of case histories of children with ID among North Karnataka region to examine the frequency of occurrence of risk factors which can cause onset of ID.

Methods:

Retrospective analysis of records of 1400 individuals who visited our Institute, for speech and language evaluation was analyzed. Among 1400 cases, there were 300 cases were selected for the study.

Results:

The risk factors identified in this study primely constitute of perinatal and postnatal factors and lower socioeconomic status.

Conclusion:

It may be implied from the results of the study that appropriate peri and postnatal health care interventions can help to reduce risks leading to ID. Utilizing this knowledge will help with both primary and secondary level prevention by raising public awareness of the probable causes of ID. It is also possible to identify these risk factors, detect ID early, and then intervene at the earliest. Furthermore, extensive researches focusing on a thorough evaluation of risk factors with respect to severity of ID need to be carried out. This will help in understanding the causative factors better, and hence, enhance the development of preventive strategies and planning of a better rehabilitation program.
The effect of prophylaxis paste and air-powder polishing on color stability and surface roughness of different composite resins
Authors: Kuzu Turan Emre , Karatas Ozcan
Published: February 2024

Aim:

This study examined the impact of periodontal prophylaxis paste and air-powder treatment on nano- and microhybrid composite resin surface roughness and color change.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty specimens were prepared from a nanohybrid and a microhybrid composite resin. The specimens were distinct into three subgroups, and the first color measurements were done. Then, a periodontal prophylaxis paste was applied to one of the subgroups prepared from each composite, and air-powder polishing was applied to the second subgroups, and specimens in the third subgroup were kept in distilled water. Then, the specimens were washed and stored in distilled water for 24 h. After storing, the specimens' mean color change and surface roughness values were calculated. The data were recorded and statistically analyzed.

Results:

The highest mean color change was observed in the microhybrid composite air-powder group while the lowest in the nanohybrid composite control group. The surface roughness of the air-powder specimens was statistically significantly higher than in the other groups.

Conclusions:

Depending on the kind of composite resin, periodontal surface treatments may have an impact on color and surface roughness. After periodontal therapy, the dentist should assess the current composite resin restorations.
Application and trends in provisional dental restorative materials for fixed partial denture
Authors: Jehan Asmath , Chidambaranathan Ahila Singaravel , Balasubramanium Muthukumar
Published: February 2024

A provisional restoration must protect the prepared tooth, restore form and function which should be esthetically acceptable. Sometimes, they are made to assess the outcome of a specific therapy for definitive prosthesis. Hence, understanding the properties, manipulation methods, and uses of provisional restorative materials for fixed partial denture is essential for all dentists. The objective of the study was to assess the recent advancement in provisional restorative materials for dental prosthesis available now. Literature search on PubMed and Google Scholar was done from January 1965 to March 2022 using the keywords such as provisional and interim restorative materials. In addition, hand search was done through refereed dental journals for 2000 to 2022. Nanoparticle-reinforced provisional restorative materials for any fixed dental prosthesis had better mechanical properties compared to conventional provisional materials available in the market. Digitally fabricated provisional materials eliminate the impression and the laboratory fabrication procedures, so that it consumes less time for fabrication.
In vitro evaluation of cyclic loading on retention strength of Retention.sil and O/ring attachments for tooth supported overdenture
Authors: Karthhik Raadhikka , Raj Bharath , Surendra Kumar G. P.
Published: February 2024

Statement of Problem:

Numerous different attachments are used to retain overdentures. Hence, there is a need to assess new chairside attachment system based on polyvinylsiloxane (Retention.sil [R.S]) to know its in vitro behavior to be used clinically.

Purpose:

To assess and compare the retentive force of two female matrix retention system (R.S with a conventional O-ring [OR] attachment system) in tooth-supported overdenture.

Materials and Methods:

Completely edentulous mandibular model with two canine root-anchored ball attachments for overdentures were fabricated. A total of 30 mandibular dentures were made and divided to form two groups, each with a different attachment design. One group (test) received 5 pairs of R.S attachments while the other group (control) received 15 pairs of ORs. Retention force was measured by subjecting them to 540 cycles of insertion and de-insertion cycles (representing 6 months functional life) in axial direction before and after thermocycling.

Results:

Statistical analysis comprised Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α = 0.05). The initial retention of R.S attachments was 5.90 ± 0.77 N and of ball/OR 17.36 ± 3.81 N. The final retention of R.S attachments was 5.41 ± 0.72 N and of ball/OR 12.91 ± 3.18 N. The OR developed higher retentive force as compared to the R.S attachments (P < 0.05). However, no significant changes in retention force were observed for R.S groups after repeated dislodging and thermal undulation.

Conclusion:

Both systems presented acceptable retention capacities after 540 cycles. The newly developed R.S attachments can provide an alternative to OR attachments for short-term retention. Clinical studies are however required to elucidate the long-term performance of these materials.
