Authors: Elzoughary Atef Ahmed , Hamza Tamer Abel Rahim , Metwally Mohamed Fawzy
Published: September 2024

Background. An esthetically acceptable ceramic restoration should have optical properties like the teeth and reflect, transmit, and absorb light. The present investigation compared how hydrothermal aging affected the properties of two types of zirconia and lithium disilicate. Methods. Thirty rectangular samples (12×14×1 mm) were prepared and sectioned from three different ceramic blocks/blanks (n=10), then assigned into three groups according to the ceramic type: group Z: IPS e.max ZirCAD prime, gradient zirconia (3Y/5Y-TZP); group K: Katana UTML (5Y-TZP); and group E: IPS e.max CAD (lithium disilicate). Color analysis of samples was performed before and after hydrothermal aging (1, 3, and 5 hours) using a spectrophotometer. Color difference (∆E00), translucency parameter (TP00), and contrast ratio (CR) were evaluated. The microstructural analysis was performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD). Data were statistically analyzed at a significance level of P<0.05. Results. A statistically significant variation was observed across means of ∆E00, TP00, and CR at different times. Group Z displayed the highest statistically significant mean ∆E00. Group E demonstrated the greatest statistically significant mean TP00. Group K exhibited the most statistically significant mean CR. Conclusion. Hydrothermal aging significantly affected the optical characteristics of lithium disilicate and zirconia ceramics. The translucency of samples increased with aging.

Authors: Attia Reda Eid , Mohammed Hussein Ramadan , Haggag Khaled Mohamed
Published: September 2024

Background. The present study assessed the impact of thermomechanical aging on the marginal fit of hybrid ceramic, reinforced composite resin, and lithium disilicate ceramic. Methods. Eighteen human upper first premolars freshly extracted for orthodontic purposes were used to fabricate 18 CAD-CAM veneers and divided into three groups based on materials used: group H (n=6): hybrid ceramics (Vita Enamic), group R (n=6): reinforced composite resin (Brilliant crios), and group L (n=6): lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e-max CAD). Each material’s cementation procedure was carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The vertical marginal gap between the laminate veneer margin and the prepared tooth finish line was measured to assess the specimens by digital microscopy. Subsequently, all the samples were thermomechanically cycled (TMC) (5 °C to 55 °C, 30 seconds, 75000 cycles). Then, the vertical marginal gap was re-evaluated. Results. The Brilliant crios group displayed a significantly lower vertical marginal gap mean score (31.36±2.82 µm) followed by Vita Enamic (39.27±6.54 µm) and E max (41.39±3.97 µm) groups. Similarly, after thermomechanical aging, the Brilliant crios group displayed a significantly lower vertical marginal gap mean score (41.83±8.28 µm) followed by Vita Enamic (55.47±18.65 µm), and the E max group showed the greatest vertical marginal gap mean score (59.43±16.27 µm). Conclusion. Thermomechanical aging affected the marginal fit of different materials employed in the current research, and these changes were under the established clinical limit.

Authors: Dağıstan-Çavuşoğlu Büşra , Usta Sıla Nur
Published: September 2024

Background. This study examined the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and etidronic acid (HEDP) in retrograde cavities on the bond strength of MTA Angelus and NeoPutty. Methods. Sixty-six teeth with single roots and canals were decoronated and enlarged up to F3 using the ProTaper Universal file system. After removing the apical 3 mm within the scope of endodontic surgery procedures, retrograde cavities were prepared with ultrasonic tips. The teeth were divided into three main groups according to the irrigation solution used: saline, 17% EDTA, and 9% HEDP. Following the irrigation of retrograde cavities, each main group was further divided into two subgroups in terms of using MTA Angelus and NeoPutty as retrograde filling materials. Bond strength values of hydraulic cements were measured by the push-out test. Fracture modes were examined under a stereo microscope. Two dentin sections from each group were examined under scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to observe dentinal tubules. Two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests were used to analyze the data. Results. Irrigation solutions similarly affected the bond strength values of hydraulic cements (P=0.115). MTA Angelus showed significantly higher values than NeoPutty in all the solution groups (P=0.34). Adhesive and cohesive fracture modes were mostly observed in the MTA Angelus and NeoPutty groups, respectively. Conclusion. EDTA, HEDP, and saline had a similar effect on the bond strength of hydraulic cements. The higher bond values of MTA Angelus compared to NeoPutty could support its safe use in endodontic surgery procedures.
Anthropomorphism and AI: an experimental study
Authors: Волкова А.Д. , Костина Т.А. , Ноакк Н.В.
Published: September 2024

Статья продолжает разработки авторов в сфере восприятия искусственного интеллекта (ИИ), поднимая тему употребления антропоморфизмов в отношении ИИ — наделения его человеческими характеристиками, такими как разум, эмоции, намерения. Задача экспериментального выявления связи склонности людей к антропоморфизации ИИ с рядом личностных характеристик решалась с использованием статистических методов. В ходе пилотного исследования статистически значимых различий между группами мужчин и женщин по выбранным характеристикам обнаружено не было. Выявлена тенденция к наличию слабой связи между склонностью к макиавеллизму и коллективизмом, а также обратной связи между индивидуализмом и макиавеллизмом, обратной корреляции между горизонтальным коллективизмом и склонностью к употреблению антропоморфизмов в отношении искусственного интеллекта.

The article continues the authors' developments in the field of perception of artificial intelligence (AI), raising the topic of the use of anthropomorphisms in relation to AI — endowing it with human characteristics such as mind, emotions, intentions. The task of experimentally identifying the relationship between people's propensity to anthropomorphize and a number of personal characteristics was solved using statistical methods. During the pilot study, no statistically significant differences were found between the groups of men and women according to the selected characteristics. There is a tendency to have a weak connection between the tendency to Machiavellianism and collectivism, as well as a feedback link between individualism and Machiavellianism, an inverse correlation between horizontal collectivism and a tendency to use anthropomorphisms in relation to artificial intelligence.

Статья продолжает работы авторов по изучению влияния искусственного интеллекта на общественное сознание. Целью настоящего исследования является разработка системного инструментария для обеспечения управленческих решений, позволяющего минимизировать риски негативного воздействия ИИ на цивилизационные особенности России. Для ее достижения авторами начато систематизированное экспериментальное исследование смещения, сжатия, манипулятивности ИИ с учетом факторов индивидуализма – коллективизма и макиавеллизма. Сравнивались контрольные группы людей с группами «личностей», сгенерированных ИИ. Результаты получены на основе небольших выборок, характерных для начальной стадии экспериментов. На орте индивидуализм-коллективизм не имеет места смещение оценок, наследованных ИИ, с бесспорным для любых принятых уровней значимости сжатием вариативности. Напротив, при оценке на макиавеллизм (меру манипулятивности) смещение оценок, наследованных ИИ, значимо отличаются от оценок контрольных групп людей. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод о необходимости дальнейших исследований оценок вариативности по параметру макиавеллизма.

The article continues the work of the authors on the study of the influence of artificial intelligence on public consciousness. The purpose of this study is to develop system tools to ensure management decisions that minimize the risks of negative impact of AI on the civilizational features of Russia. To achieve this, the authors have begun a systematic experimental study of displacement, compression, and manipulativeness of AI, taking into account the factors of individualism – collectivism and Machiavellianism. Control groups of people were compared with groups of "personalities" generated by AI. The results were obtained on the basis of small samples typical for the initial stage of experiments. At the individualism-collectivism level, there is no bias in the estimates inherited by AI, with an indisputable compression of variability for any accepted levels of significance. On the contrary, when evaluating Machiavellianism (a measure of manipulativeness), the bias of estimates inherited by AI significantly differs from those of control groups of people. The results obtained allow us to conclude that further studies of estimates of variability in the Machiavellian parameter are necessary.

В статье рассматриваются основные тренды, тенденции и перспективы развития розничной торговли в России. Представлен всесторонний анализ эволюции отечественного розничного рынка, обусловленной экономическими, демографическими и технологическими изменениями. В статье выделяются ключевые тренды потребительского поведения, такие как разумный подход к тратам, растущее влияние поколения Z, предпочтительный выбор отечественных товаров, ответственное отношение к здоровью и к окружающей среде. Особое внимание уделяется важности цифровой трансформации в розничной торговле и омниканальному подходу. Авторами была представлена особая группа потребителей – «взломщики цен», которые тщательно ищут лучшие на рынке предложения через доступные каналы продаж. Приведены данные о влиянии инфляции, уровня безработицы, прироста реальной заработной платы и темпов кредитования населения на структуру потребительских расходов. Представлены три авторских прогноза развития розничной торговли в России до 2030 года: оптимистичный, реалистичный и пессимистичный. Оптимистичный прогноз предполагает, что рост доходов населения и повышение покупательской способности, а также адаптация розничной торговли к новым условиям приведут к устойчивому росту отрасли. Реалистичный прогноз основан на постепенной адаптации розничной торговли к текущим вызовам, с умеренным ростом и развитием новых форматов торговли. Пессимистичный прогноз рассматривает самый драматический сценарий развития событий, при котором розничная торговля столкнется со стагнацией под влиянием новых ограничений и вызовов.

It provides a comprehensive analysis of market evolution driven by economic, demographic, and technological changes. The study highlights key consumer behavior trends such as prudent spending, the growing influence of Generation Z, preference for domestic products, and responsible attitudes towards health and the environment. Special attention is given to the significant shift towards an omnichannel strategy and the importance of digital transformation in retail trade. The authors present a distinct consumer group – "price hackers" – who meticulously seek the best market offers through accessible sales channels. Data on the impact of inflation, unemployment rates, real wage growth, and population credit growth on consumer expenditure structure are provided. Three proprietary forecasts for the development of retail trade in Russia until 2030 are presented: optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic. The optimistic forecast assumes income growth, increased purchasing power, and retail adaptation to new conditions leading to sustainable industry growth. The realistic forecast is based on gradual retail adaptation to current challenges, with moderate growth and development of new trading formats. The pessimistic forecast considers a dramatic scenario where retail will face stagnation under the influence of new restrictions and challenges.

The concept of an economic individual with a universal instrument of coordination
Authors: Паринов С.И.
Published: September 2024

В современной экономической литературе отмечается, что понимание устройства и моделирование работы коллективных ментальных конструкций (моделей) способствует развитию методов анализа процессов выбора и принятия решений, а также лучшему пониманию процессов эволюции экономических систем. Предлагаемое исследование, развивая эту тему, обосновывает идею, что каждый экономический индивид обладает универсальным инструментом координации (УИК), главным элементом которого являются коллективные ментальные конструкции. Индивиды оптимизируют настройки УИК в целях максимально полного учета деятельности друг друга в целях увеличения выгоды от своей совместной деятельности. УИК с настройками является для участников совместной деятельности общей информационной средой, а также средством определения оптимального содержания их совместной деятельности. Обсуждаются основные блоки и функции УИК как особого вида агентной имитационной модели. Рассмотрены необходимые условия для использования УИК. Из полученных результатов вытекает наличие у индивидов с УИК как содержательной, так и процедурной рациональности. Из этого выводится существование в экономических системах двух видов равновесия.

The economic literature notes that understanding the structure and modeling the work of shared mental structures (models) helps to improve the analysis of selection and decision-making processes, as well as the processes of evolution of economic systems. The proposed study continues this theme by developing the idea that each economic individual has a universal coordination instrument (UCI), which uses the shared mental structures. Individuals optimize the UCI settings in order to take into account each other’s activities as fully as possible in order to increase the benefits from their joint activities. The UCI with settings is a common information environment for participants in joint activities, as well as a means of determining, in a sense, the optimal content of their joint activities. The main blocks and functions of the UCI as a special type of agent-based simulation model are discussed. The necessary conditions for using the UCI are considered. From the results obtained, it follows that individuals with UCI have both substantive and procedural rationality. From this it follows that there are two types of equilibrium in economic systems.

Published: September 2024

Coix lacryma-jobi L. is a plant that serves as a source of food, medicine, cosmetics, and forage in Asian countries. Due to the distinct geographic environments, Coix seed germplasm resources are extremely diverse. In this study, we evaluated the proximate composition, multi-elemental content by ICP-OES, and phenolic bioactives by UPLC-QTOF/MS of five varieties of Coix seeds from different Asian countries, including China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) were used to classify the different varieties of Coix seeds. The C. lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen seeds from Origin 1 (China) and Origin 2 (Thailand) contained high levels of energy, total fat, and calcium, while C. lacryma-jobi var. agrotis (Indonesia) and C. lacryma-jobi var. lacryma-jobi (Malaysia) had high levels of crude fiber and carbohydrates. Twenty-three phenolic compounds were identified. Protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber, magnesium, zinc, meliadanoside, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside were the dominant variables and contributed the most to data variability in PCA. The HCA results were consistent with the PCA, classifying the samples into three groups: those rich in nutrients, those rich in phenolics, and those with a mixture of nutrients and phenolics. This comprehensive analysis provides valuable insights into the nutritional and bioactive composition of Coix seed varieties, with potential applications in nutrition, food science, and pharmaceuticals.

India is a developing country with a large population and ranks eighth in terms of size. Its vast population indicates a sizable potential market and highlights the increasing need for employment. In the current decade, India is making significant strides toward implementing laws that encourage start-ups and create a business-friendly environment. Globalization and technological advancements have fostered a competitive atmosphere that necessitates the development of innovative systems. As competition grows, more people are recognizing the benefits of self-employment. In India, entrepreneurship has the potential to serve as a solution for urgent issues such as homelessness and unemployment. In light of these benefits, the government has periodically launched several initiatives to support the growth of entrepreneurship in the country. These initiatives include industrial policies, five-year plans that prioritize the development of the small-scale sector, the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), the establishment of institutions dedicated to entrepreneurship, the organization of Entrepreneurship Development Programs (EDPs), and other government initiatives. Currently, there are fewer job opportunities in India's public and large-scale industries. However, globalization has created numerous opportunities that are waiting to be seized. Entrepreneurs in India could potentially propel the country to the brink of becoming an economic superpower. This paper provides an overview of the government scheme, namely the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY), aimed at promoting new-generation entrepreneurs in India.

This study aimed to identify the methods teachers use to integrate science and mathematics. These factors affect the implementation of integrated science and mathematics education and students' attitudes toward this integration in secondary schools in the Kellem Wollega zone of Ethiopia. Both open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires, along with structured interviews, were designed for the selected sample population. This targeted population was chosen from five different sites within the zone, comprising a total of 506 samples, of which 392 were students and 114 were teachers and school principals. The study found that teachers integrate science and mathematics using the PDSI approach, the ASEI approach, a student-centered approach, and generally the SMASSE approach. They employ various strategies, including assigning projects, conducting practical work with students, providing assignments and worksheets, and fostering team spirit among students. Several factors hindering the implementation of SMASSE in the study area were identified, including the teacher-student ratio, the disproportion between class size and the number of students, students' attitudes toward science and mathematics, a lack of laboratory facilities and equipment, an absence of a planned schedule, insufficient access to computers, inadequate assessment practices, a lack of sufficient time to complete the curriculum, and an inadequate quality assurance system. On the other hand, students exhibited a negative attitude toward the integration of science and mathematics education, which was influenced by factors such as their perceptions of mathematics, student-teacher interactions, feedback from teachers, teaching methods, course content, teachers' competencies, school management, and limited student participation in the classroom.

Examination result repositories generated by most universities can serve as machine learning datasets for training various models to gain insights from the data. These datasets can train multiple linear regression models to determine a student's cumulative grade point average (CGPA), or the score that a student will get in specific courses. Additionally, classification-based supervised machine learning models can use these datasets to provide insights into the class result that a student will obtain. These insights can be invaluable for academic advising and early intervention. Moreover, these datasets can train clustering-based unsupervised machine learning models, such as the K-means clustering model, to understand how student results are grouped into various clusters. This information can be crucial for planning and evaluating the quality of the university. This paper uses the dataset of undergraduate students' examination results from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, to train three supervised machine learning models and one unsupervised machine learning model, utilizing Jupyter Notebook as the Python IDE. The training results showed acceptable accuracies of 91.5% for the Naïve Bayes model and 95.1% for the Decision Tree model. The linear regression model demonstrated a negligible root mean square error of 8.23×10−18, while the K-means clustering model exhibited an acceptable Silhouette metric of 0.12.

Objetivo: avaliar a adesão de práticas de enfermagem segura no cuidado e administração de imunobiológicos nas salas de vacinação. Método: Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa com delineamento seccional. O estudo foi conduzido nas salas de vacinação em um município da região nordeste do Brasil, com um tamanho amostral de 152 procedimentos. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio do instrumento denominado Lista de Verificação de Segurança do Paciente em Sala de Vacina. Resultado: No domínio 1 os itens 4, 5, 7, 8 e 19 demonstraram baixa adesão. Já no domínio 2, a maioria dos itens apresentou 100% de adesão às boas práticas, os demais apresentaram frequências de não adesão abaixo de 50%. Por fim, o domínio 3, o item 30 não foi realizado de forma correta, tendo 17,1 % de não adesão. Conclusão: Evidencia-se uma lacuna considerável em diversos aspectos quanto às ações essenciais nas administrações de imunobiológicos. Logo, nota-se a fragilidade que perdura sobre a assistência de enfermagem nas salas de vacinas.
A Gyergyói misszále
Authors: Czagány Zsuzsa
Published: September 2024

Tanulmányunkban azzal a kéziratos misekönyvvel foglalkozunk, melyet kolofonjának tanúsága szerint a feltehetően morva származású Petrus filius Wencessaly de Wischschaw másolt 1428-ban, s melyet 2021 óta a Gyulafehérvári Főegyházmegyei Levéltár Gyergyószentmiklósi Gyűjtőlevéltárában őriznek. Ezt megelőzően a kódexet hosszú ideig a gyergyószentmiklósi Szent Miklós-templom plébániájának becses kincsei között tartották számon. Arról azonban nincs tudomásunk, hogy mikor, milyen körülmények között és kinek a közreműködésével került oda. Magyarországi és közép-európai forrásanyagra támaszkodva elemzésünkben a misszále énekkészletére összpontosítunk, megkülönböztetett figyelmet szentelve a húsvét és pünkösd utáni alleluia-sorozatoknak, valamint a szanktorále egyes rétegeinek. A vizsgálat eredményeként a Gyergyói misszálét a késő középkori szebeni miserítus (Missale Cibiniense) forrásköréhez sorolhatjuk.

Vingárti Horvát János pályaképe
Authors: Faragó Dávid
Published: September 2024

Vingárti Horvát János ismeretlen alakja a Magyar Királyság 16. századi történelmének. Habár a valódi bárók közé emelkedő fiát, Gáspárt a Mária királyné egyik udvarhölgyével kötött házassága, valamint a Ferdinánd király uralmának támogatása érdekében Erdélyben kifejtett politikai tevékenysége miatt számontartják a kutatók, apja életútjának azonban ez ideig nem sok figyelmet szenteltek. A tanulmány célja annak a bemutatása, hogy miként sikerült Jánosnak Horvátország elhagyása után a kapcsolatrendszere, szívós birtokszerzési törekvései, valamint udvari szolgálata révén a legvagyonosabb és legtekintélyesebb erdélyi nemesek sorába emelkednie.
Az Erdélyi Fejedelemség kialakulása és nemzetközi megítélése a dinasztikus külpolitika tükrében (1526–1576)
Authors: Hámori Nagy Zsuzsanna
Published: September 2024

A tanulmány Erdély 16. századi nemzetközi megítélésének változását mutatja be a dinasztikus külpolitika perspektíváján keresztül. Míg a Habsburg- és Jagelló-államok számára továbbra is fontos régiós tényező maradt, a francia esettanulmány rámutat arra, hogy az oszmán befolyás alá kerülő állam fokozatosan elvesztette vonzerejét az európai fejedelmek társadalma számára.
Az erdélyi és magyarországi rendek konföderációja Báthory Gábor fejedelemsége idején
Authors: László Andor
Published: September 2024

A két magyar állam viszonyának konföderáció útján való rendezése Bocskai István terveinek fontos eleme, végrendeletének egyik központi gondolata volt. A fejedelem a kölcsönös segítségnyújtást előíró szerződéssel kívánta biztosítani a jószomszédi viszonyt és a tizenöt éves háború végén megkötött bécsi béke megerősítését. Halálát követően elsősorban a szövetkezés eszméje, a konföderációra való folyamatos és kölcsönös törekvés határozta meg Magyarország és Erdély kapcsolatát. Mindkét fél egyaránt érdekelt volt az együttműködés kialakításában, fenntartásában. Minderre egy olyan időszakban került sor, amikor Közép-Európában elterjedtek a rendi konföderációk. Báthory Gábor uralkodásának közel öt és fél éve alatt négy alkalommal kötöttek olyan megállapodást, amely a két állam szoros kapcsolatát célozta. A királysághoz való túlzott közeledés végül a fejedelem bukásához vezetett.

Györgyina páter és kora
Authors: Iancu Laura
Published: September 2024

A tanulmány a moldvai katolikus magyarok anyanyelvű vallási életét érintő egyházi viszonyokat és rendelkezéseket mutatja be, a második világháború előtti és utáni években. A kérdés közelebbi megvilágítását a korszak egyik jelentőségteljes eseményének, nevezetesen a Lészpeden megesett 1946–47-es történéseknek a bemutatása, valamint a korszak ugyancsak nagyhatású moldvai magyar papjának, Györgyina Jánosnak az élettörténete révén. A ferences szerzetespap, Györgyina János, az 1950-es években két nyelven (román és magyar) végezte egyházi szolgálatát, és a magyar nyelvet azt követően is használta, miután azt egyháza és az állam deklaráltan tiltotta, amiért szabadságvesztéssel fizetett. Györgyina a diktatúra és az egyházpolitika áldozata s mint ilyen, a moldvai magyarság emlékezetében egyedüálló helyet foglal el.
Vidéki ökológiai életmód női perspektívában
Authors: Farkas Judit
Published: September 2024

Tanulmányom középpontjában magyarországi, vidékre költözött nők állnak. Egészen pontosan olyan nők, akik a kortárs ökológiai, társadalmi, gazdasági és etikai válságra adott válaszul, a teljes ökológiai életreform megvalósítása érdekében választották a vidéki életet. Bemutatom motivációikat; speciális nehézségeiket és könnyebbségeiket; a női szerepeket az öko-közösségekben és e szerepek változását; álmaikat és hogy miként érzik magukat ebben az életmódban most, több éves vidéki élet után, illetve mit tennének másként. Mivel közel tizenöt éve kutatom a hazai ökofalvakat és más, vidéki öko-életmód közösségeket, lehetőségem volt e folyamatok alakulásának, változásának megfigyelésére, és számos egyéni történet a szemem előtt zajlott le. Ebben a tanulmányban főként azoknak a nőknek a történetét mutatom be, akiknek életét a kiköltözésüktől kezdve ismerem. Kutatásomba bevontam a közösséget elhagyó nőket is.

Os acidentes escorpiônicos representam um importante problema de saúde pública no Brasil, especialmente na região sudeste, devido à sua alta incidência e gravidade, sobretudo em crianças. O presente estudo visa descrever e analisar os óbitos por escorpionismo em crianças e adolescentes, de 0 a 14 anos, no estado de São Paulo entre 2013 e 2022, com foco na presença de Ponto Estratégico (PE) para administração de soro antiveneno no município de ocorrência e a distância até o PE mais próximo. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico descritivo-analítico com dados coletados do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e dos Planos de Ação Regional das DRS. Foram registrados 72 óbitos no período, sendo a maioria das vítimas crianças de 1 a 4 anos (53%). Observou-se que 69% dos óbitos ocorreram em municípios com PE, enquanto 31% ocorreram em municípios sem essa estrutura, sendo que a distância média para o PE nesses casos foi de 31,2 km. A análise sugere uma associação entre a ausência de unidades de referência e o agravamento dos desfechos clínicos, principalmente em crianças mais velhas. Ademais, apesar da existência de PEs, o número de óbitos permanece alto, especialmente nas faixas-etárias mais jovens, evidenciando a necessidade de melhorias na logística de atendimento.
