Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm. Despite the improvement of surgical techniques, the rate of relapses of the disease remains high. The search for alternative methods of treatment is relevant.Purpose. To evaluate safety and effectiveness of intraoperative photodynamic therapy of sarcoma in soft tissues.Material and methods. Forty-four patients with soft tissue sarcoma were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n = 10): soft tissue sarcoma of stage T2-3N0M0G1, surgical treatment and intraoperative photodynamic therapy. Group 2 (n = 17): soft tissue sarcoma of stage T2-3N0M0G2-3, surgical treatment and intraoperative photodynamic therapy. Group 3 (n = 17): soft tissue sarcoma of stage T2-3N0M0-1G2-3, combined treatment – preoperative light therapy, surgical treatment, intraoperative photodynamic therapy, neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy. Fluorescence spectrometry was performed to determine the degree of photosensitizer accumulation in tumor tissue. Treatment methodology: photosensitizer was injected 2.5–3 hours before the surgery. The tumor was removed with resection of adjacent muscles and healthy tissues. Then, laser irradiation of the tumor bed was made using “Latus” device. Radiation power was up to 2,5 W, power density was up to 0,28 W/cm2, radiation dose was up to 100 J/cm2. Follow-up ranged from 14 to 44 months.Results. The spectrometry has revealed that photosensitizer was accumulated predominantly in tumor tissue. There were no reactions to photosensitizer injection, no changes in the tumor bed as well as no increase in wound healing period after intraoperative photodynamic therapy.Within the observation period, all patients stayed alive. Relapses of the disease were registered in 38.7 % of patients: in Group 1 – 30 %, in Group 2 – 35.3 %, in Group 3 – 53 %. Of the 20 patients with primary diagnosed neoplasms, relapses were seen in 30 %. Of the 24 patients with previously recurrent neoplasms, 45.8 % had repeated relapses.Conclusion. Intraoperative photodynamic therapy is a safe and effective technique for treating soft tissue sarcomas; it is also the promising direction for research. A small number of observations, a variety of histological forms and stages of the disease make it difficult to assess the effectiveness of the discussed approach. Further studies of intraoperative photodynamic therapy are required.
Obtaining haploid plants by irradiated pollen culture in oil seed crops
Authors: YAMAN Hümeyra , KARACA SANYÜREK Nesrin
Published: March 2023

Haploid plant production is of great importance to shorten the breeding period in plant breeding programs. Obtaining pure lines in plant growing programs require an intensive work with huge labor and time. Obtaining one hundred percent homozy-gous pure lines is a key point for the improvement and development of new cultivars. Haploid plants with a single set of homozygous chromosomes have become a valua-ble tool in plant breeding. Dihaploid plants that are homozygous at all loci with dou-bling of their chromosomes can be propagated by seed and reach full homozygosity in a single generation. Traditional methods take seven years to reach homozygosity. Dihaploidization methods provide significant advantages in terms of gaining homo-zygosity in a short period of one year and bringing pure lines into agriculture. Anther culture and irradiated pollen technique are among the most widely used techniques in this respect; where physical or chemical agents are used to induce mutated pollen grains and anthers that are subsequently employed to develop dihaploids through in vitro cultures. These techniques are a good source to facilitate gene mapping, cyto-genetic research, and evolutionary studies. Irradiated pollen culture techniques have been applied to many oilseed crops to obtain pure lines. This study highlights some salient features of producing dihaploids using irradiated pollen grains and their maintenance.
Plano Plurianual do Espírito Santo 2016-2019 : gestão orientada a resultados em ambiente de ajuste fiscal
Authors: Medeiros Márcio Bastos
Published: March 2023

Recupera a experiência de elaboração e gestão do PPA 2016-2019 no estado do Espírito Santo, reforçando sua articulação com outros instrumentos de planejamento e gestão governamental, em especial os planos estratégicos de longo prazo, construídos com envolvimento de setores da sociedade capixaba. Outro elemento importante do arranjo institucional construído na experiência do Espírito Santo foi a aproximação entre o PPA e o escritório de projetos que fazia a gestão estratégica dos projetos prioritários. Ainda que a gestão do plano não tenha apropriado a gestão de prioridades, as articulações institucionais construídas parecem ter reforçado mutuamente as duas funções.
Equalização fiscal no Brasil : distorções e proposta para o caso dos estados
Authors: Mendes Constantino Cronemberger
Published: March 2023

Faz uma análise das implicações de uma transferência constitucional obrigatória – o Fundo de Participação dos Estados (FPE) – para equalização das transferências de recursos públicos da União para os estados. O diagnóstico do autor é que as regras vigentes do FPE apresentam distorções que prejudicam a diminuição das desigualdades socioeconômicas estaduais, principalmente quanto à renda domiciliar per capita. O modelo atual, baseado no cálculo do rendimento per capita do ano anterior, com dados de dois anos antes, é volátil e prejudica os estados mais pobres, não havendo correção quanto às diferentes capacidades fiscais dos estados em ofertar bens e serviços públicos. A partir das experiências canadense e australiana, o autor simula a distribuição de recursos com base em dois modelos: um complemento adicional à renda domiciliar per capita e outro adicional aos recursos próprios per capita. Os exercícios realizados mostram-se mais adequados para produzir convergência entre os estados, principalmente o que considera as receitas próprias per capita. O artigo contribui com o extenso e recorrente debate sobre distribuição de recursos fiscais em Federações com altos níveis de desigualdade socioeconômica, como é o caso brasileiro.
A Atuação dos estados na difusão de políticas públicas no Brasil : a intersecção entre instituições, atores e ideias
Authors: Silva André Luis Nogueira da , Segatto Catarina Ianni
Published: March 2023

Defendem, a partir da perspectiva de análise de redes, que modos formais e informais de interação entre atores políticos nos estados podem ser ferramentas analíticas úteis para compreender melhor os tipos de difusão de políticas em Estados federativos. Com base em uma sistematização da literatura que se debruça sobre casos de difusão entre governos subnacionais em outras Federações, os autores propõem um modelo analítico com especial ênfase no papel das ideias e das redes de relações interpessoais situados em determinados contextos institucionais, uma perspectiva que tem ganhado espaço nos estudos acerca de políticas públicas tanto no Brasil quanto internacionalmente.
Novos horizontes interpretativos da Lei no 12.990/2014 e políticas de reparação : ações afirmativas para negros(as) e carreira docente em universidades federais
Authors: Mello Luiz
Published: March 2023

Aprofunda a análise do tema, estimando que, entre 2014 e 2018, teria se acumulado um deficit de aproximadamente 2,7 mil vagas não reservadas do total de pouco mais de 18 mil ofertadas. Ainda assim, com base na evolução do quadro geral no período analisado, vislumbra mudanças importantes, com ampliação no número das instituições que observam as exigências da Lei de Cotas e avançam, ainda que tardiamente, para garantir sua aplicação adequada. Nesse sentido, configura-se para o autor um impasse sobre como proceder para garantir a reserva legal prevista, nas demais universidades, compensar as centenas de vagas não reservadas no período de vigência da lei e assegurar a continuidade da ação afirmativa depois de 2024.
Normas voluntárias de sustentabilidade e sua importância no comércio internacional
Authors: Martins Michelle Marcia Viana , Denny Danielle Mendes Thame , Cechin Alicia , Bispo Scarlett Queen Almeida , Nonnenberg Marcelo Jose Braga , Carneiro Flávio Lyrio
Published: March 2023

As normas voluntárias de sustentabilidade (NVS) estão assumindo importância cada vez maior na articulação das cadeias produtivas. Elas têm-se tornado exigências feitas pelas grandes empresas multinacionais – principalmente as varejistas – aos seus fornecedores, com o intuito de otimizar a logística e homogeneizar as características dos produtos. Também têm funcionado como instrumento para certificar a qualidade dos produtos e garantir acesso a mercados mais regulados a respeito de critérios ambientais, sociais e econômicos. Igualmente importante é a atribuição das NVS para provar que se cumprem mais do que os requisitos legais necessários, reforçando-se os compromissos de governança socioambiental assumidos voluntariamente pelas empresas. Dado esse contexto, os objetivos deste artigo são apresentar um panorama sobre as NVS e discutir importantes implicações sobre o tema, oferecendo possibilidades de compreender os efeitos comerciais das NVS, assim como os desafios e as oportunidades associados à sua implementação. Também são apresentadas as dificuldades em explorar o tema do ponto de vista empírico, uma vez que a literatura produz resultados distintos, dependendo do setor ou do produto analisado. Além disso, os estudos são altamente específicos, concentrando-se em apenas algumas NVS e produtos.
Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf
Authors: Manjavacas Elena , Miles-Páez Paulo A. , Karalidi Theodora , Vos Johanna M. , Galloway Max L. , Girard Julien H.
Published: March 2023

Recent atmospheric models for brown dwarfs suggest that the existence of clouds in substellar objects is not needed to reproduce their spectra, nor their rotationally induced photometric variability, believed to be due to the heterogeneous cloud coverage of brown dwarf atmospheres. Cloud-free atmospheric models also predict that their flux should not be polarized, as polarization is produced by the light scattering of particles in the inhomogeneous cloud layers of brown dwarf atmospheres. To shed light on this dichotomy, we monitored the linear polarization and photometric variability of the most variable brown dwarf, 2MASS J21392676+0220226. We used FORS2 at the UT1 telescope to monitor the object in the z band for six hours, split on two consecutive nights, covering one-third of its rotation period. We obtained the Stokes parameters, and we derived its time-resolved linear polarization, for which we did not find significant linear polarization (P = 0.14% ± 0.07%). We modeled the linear polarimetric signal expected assuming a map with one or two spot-like features and two bands using a polarization-enabled radiative transfer code. We obtained values compatible with the time-resolved polarimetry obtained for 2MASS J21392676+0220226. The lack of significant polarization might be due to photometric variability produced mostly by banded structures or small-scale vortices, which cancel out the polarimetric signal from different regions of the dwarf’s disk. Alternatively, the lack of clouds in 2MASS J21392676+0220226 would also explain the lack of polarization. Further linear polarimetric monitoring of 2MASS J21392676+0220226, during at least one full rotational period, would help to confirm or discard the existence of clouds in its atmosphere.

In the third paper from the COOL–LAMPS Collaboration, we report the discovery of COOL J0542-2125, a gravitationally lensed quasar at z = 1.84, observed as three images due to an intervening massive galaxy cluster at z = 0.61. The lensed quasar images were identified in a search for lens systems in recent public optical imaging data and have separations on the sky up to 25.″9, wider than any previously known lensed quasar. The galaxy cluster acting as a strong lens appears to be in the process of merging, with two subclusters separated by ∼1 Mpc in the plane of the sky, and their central galaxies showing a radial velocity difference of ∼1000 km s−1. Both cluster cores show strongly lensed images of an assortment of background sources, as does the region between them. A preliminary strong lens model implies masses of

for the east and west subclusters, respectively. This line of sight is also coincident with an ROSAT ALL-sky Survey source, centered between the two confirmed cluster halos reminiscent of other major cluster-scale mergers. Archival and new follow-up imaging show flux variability in the quasar images of up to 0.4 mag within ∼1 yr, and new multicolor imaging data reveal a 2σ detection of the underlying quasar host. A lens system with this configuration offers rare opportunities for a range of future studies of both the lensed quasar and its host and the foreground cluster merger causing the lensing.
La Protection judiciaire de la jeunesse face à la scolarité des mineur·e·s sous main de justice
Authors: Denecheau Benjamin
Published: March 2023

Qu’implique le suivi de la Protection judiciaire de la jeunesse (PJJ) sur la scolarité ? À partir d’une recherche qualitative située dans deux unités éducatives de milieu ouvert de la PJJ et composée de 42 journées d’observation, de 20 entretiens semi-directifs de professionnel·le·s et de l’analyse de 380 situations de mineur·e·s, cet article montre que la scolarité et la formation sont prises en compte lorsqu’elles posent problème. Le travail qu’elles requièrent est particulièrement difficile pour les éducateur·trice·s confronté·e·s aux temporalités de l’école et à des processus de formation différents de la leur et du temps judiciaire. Ces discordances et le contexte du travail en milieu ouvert ne permettent pas d’atténuer les distances scolaires déjà fortement marquées pour une majorité des jeunes suivi·e·s.
L’histoire comme héritage commun pour des jeunes de quartiers populaires ?
Authors: Bacqué Marie-Hélène , Bellanger Emmanuel , Hatzfeld Hélène , Collectif Pop-Part
Published: March 2023

Dans quelle mesure des situations ou des faits connus ou vécus par des jeunes de quartiers populaires constituent-ils des repères communs ? Et contribuent-ils alors à la construction d’un « nous » ? Les ateliers menés avec une centaine de jeunes de dix quartiers ou villes populaires d’Île-de-France ont mis en évidence le marquage mémoriel des attentats de 2001 et 2015 et les compétitions de football. Si les liens avec l’histoire des quartiers populaires sont ténus, des continuités s’affirment dans l’histoire récente : celles des relations violentes avec la police et des luttes contre le racisme et la discrimination dans le monde. Plus que la construction d’un « nous », se dessinent ainsi des dynamiques d’identifications multiples, sources possibles de conscientisation sociale.
Les jeunes des quartiers populaires face aux transformations de leur lieu de vie : une communauté d’expérience contrastée
Authors: Busquet Grégory , Demoulin Jeanne , Lafaye Claudette , Collectif Pop-Part
Published: March 2023

À partir d’entretiens et de vidéos réalisés dans le cadre de la recherche participative Pop-Part, l’article s’interroge sur la manière dont des jeunes issus d’une dizaine de quartiers populaires franciliens font l’expérience des transformations urbaines qui affectent leur lieu de vie. Il montre tout d’abord que celles-ci sont à la fois valorisées et critiquées. Puis il fait apparaître que la nostalgie de ce qui a disparu, articulée à celle de l’enfance, marque les discours sans être exempte d’une tonalité critique. Enfin, les changements de peuplement accompagnant certaines de ces mutations urbaines et les confrontations et interrogations qui en découlent contribuent à la construction d’identités collectives qui restent néanmoins fragiles.
Une paix hybride
Authors: Valadier Paul
Published: March 2023

Quand bien même aucune guerre n’est ouvertement déclarée, la polarisation croissante du débat politique fragilise la démocratie, des techniques de cyberattaque sont utilisées, une forte opposition à l’endroit des valeurs occidentales s’installe. Comment qualifier ce climat d’hostilité permanente ? Le concept de « paix hybride » s’impose peu à peu pour définir ce qui menace la vie commune.

Published: March 2023

À partir de l’étude du fonctionnement du cerveau, le neurologue et chercheur en neurosciences cognitives Lionel Naccache ouvre des pistes de réflexion passionnantes sur la manière dont nous entrons en relation avec le monde. Est-ce sur le mode de la continuité ou de la discrétion ? La discrétion dont il est ici question doit être entendue au sens mathématique du terme : au sens où, dans un ensemble discret, les éléments sont séparés les uns des autres. C’est toute une conception de la vie éthique et politique qui en découle, rejoignant des questions très actuelles sur notre rapport au vivant et aux identités.
Le temps et la valeur hédonique des hébergements locatifs entre pairs : l’exemple d’Airbnb
Authors: Faye Benoit
Published: March 2023

Une littérature croissante explore la tarification des locations de pair à pair, au développement spectaculaire notamment en France. Ainsi, les prix implicites des caractéristiques des hébergements ont été estimés par la méthode hédonique. Cependant, l'influence de la durée de séjour sur la disposition à payer ces caractéristiques est rarement considérée. En utilisant les données de 47 756 annonces Airbnb dans 31 villes françaises en octobre-novembre 2016, nous examinons les effets modérateurs de la durée moyenne de séjour sur les prix des attributs (centralité, voisinage, taille, équipements) dans chaque segment de marché (logements entiers, chambres privés et partagées) en contrôlant l’effet de qualité par des régressions quantiles. En tenant compte des limites liées aux données, nous mettons en évidence des effets modérateurs significatifs donnant un nouvel éclairage sur la valorisation de ces hébergements. Les résultats sont utiles pour les stratégies de tarification des hôtes et de l'industrie hôtelière, mais offrent surtout une introduction de la dimension temporelle dans les modèles urbains.
Spéculer sur les blés. La soudure et le stockage des grains chartrains en question (1748-1790)
Authors: Béaur Gérard
Published: March 2023

Le phénomène récurrent de la soudure en fin d’année-récolte et les profits fabuleux réalisés par les producteurs de grains en ces occasions font partie des conceptions généralement admises par tous ceux qui se portent sur le fonctionnement des marchés des grains. Pourtant, cette idée reçue tend à être remise en question aujourd’hui et nécessite d’être interrogée à nouveaux frais. Cet article entend renverser la perspective courante en se portant du côté des acteurs, de la logique qui commande leur action, et ainsi questionner les conditions de réalisation d’une spéculation gagnante. En mobilisant les données de la mercuriale de Chartres pendant un demi-siècle, il s’agit de revoir le principe même du mouvement saisonnier des prix, de décrypter les anticipations des vendeurs dans le cadre d’une année-récolte et de mesurer leur degré de prescience à l’égard de la future récolte. Quitte à relativiser les profits engendrés par l’exploitation de la soudure, il s’agit aussi de prendre en compte les risques qu’ils encourent et les coûts qu’ils subissent lorsqu’ils privilégient des pratiques de stockage et de retenue des grains à des fins spéculatives, dont on peut douter du caractère opportun et systématiquement avantageux.
Governance of Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Collombet Catherine , Riedel Birgit
Published: March 2023

Cet article étudie comment les systèmes français et allemand de gouvernance de l’EAJE (modes d’accueil individuels et collectifs) ont réagi à la pandémie de Covid-19 entre mars 2020 et la fin de l’année 2021. Les deux pays partagent une gouvernance multiacteurs, impliquant l’État central, le niveau local intermédiaire et les communes. Cependant, le rôle des Länder et des communes est plus fort en Allemagne, tandis que l’importance de la branche Famille de la Sécurité sociale est croissante en France. La réponse à la pandémie a confirmé le rôle central des Länder en Allemagne : l’État fédéral a pu coordonner leurs décisions mais pas les diriger. En France, au contraire, l’État a utilisé les pouvoirs étendus de l’état d’urgence sanitaire pour orienter la réponse à la crise et la branche Famille a renforcé son soutien financier aux crèches touchées par les fermetures.

Cette étude 2 porte sur un point d’écoute éphémère, mis en place durant le premier confinement du printemps 2020, sur la base de l’investissement d’associations variées du champ des droits des femmes. Ce dispositif met en lumière deux grandes tendances à l’œuvre dans les politiques de lutte contre les violences faites aux femmes insérées dans le champ sociosanitaire. D’un côté, la gestion par les partenariats public-privé active des formes de compétition qui vont jusqu’à porter sur la définition des violences. De l’autre, ce lieu met en relief les difficultés éprouvées face à la volonté d’aller vers les publics, en particulier pour des associations féministes. Le lieu du centre commercial (et l’extension des missions au nom de « l’égalité ») place les écoutantes face à de nouvelles situations.
Transformations et ressources des jeunes résidant en Habitat Jeunes en temps de Covid
Authors: Brandler-Weinreb Jessica
Published: March 2023

L’expérience de la pandémie de Covid-19 et des confinements est inédite parce qu’elle a modifié en même temps la sphère intime et le rapport à soi, le rapport aux autres et à l’entourage présent, de façon plus ou moins proche, dans la vie quotidienne et qu’elle a transformé les manières de s’inscrire dans le monde et de se projeter. Cet article propose d’analyser le caractère simultané des transformations engendrées par la pandémie et de comprendre leurs effets dans la vie des résidents des Habitats Jeunes, majoritairement issus des milieux populaires. Il montre comment les conditions de vie et de santé de cette « jeunesse discrète » se sont dégradées. Pourtant, si le repli chez soi a entraîné un repli sur soi, ces récits racontent aussi la capacité de ces jeunes à agir face à la crise.
Au-delà du littoral. La diffusion des engrais de mer en Bretagne au xixe siècle
Authors: Hunaut Arthur
Published: March 2023

Les algues et les sables sont utilisés depuis des siècles pour fertiliser les terres sur certaines parties du littoral breton. Au xixe siècle, ces pratiques prennent une nouvelle ampleur. En effet, les usages que font les agriculteurs de ces engrais permettent d’augmenter les rendements agricoles. L’agriculture des zones côtières employant des fertilisants marins est flamboyante et est présentée comme un exemple de modernité agraire. Dès lors, ces ressources sont vues comme un moyen de développer l’économie des régions éloignées des bords de mer. Les préfectures, les mairies puis le gouvernement du Second Empire, incités par les comices agricoles, investissent dans des structures qui permettent la diffusion des engrais de mer vers le centre de la Bretagne. Les nouvelles voies de communication profitent également aux engrais commerciaux qui se développent à cette époque. La combinaison de ces ressources, que beaucoup de paysans utilisent de manière conjointe et pour la première fois au xixe siècle, entraîne une progression de l’économie rurale bretonne.
Identités dissimulées

Des mères qui abandonnent leur enfant souhaitent ne pas révéler qui elles sont. Mais au-delà de ces situations, d’autres secrets sont opposés aux pupilles de l’État pendant tout le xxe siècle. L’exemple d’André met en lumière les changements de nom et de lieu de naissance que certains d’entre eux ont connus. Il illustre aussi le silence qui longtemps entourait leur histoire. Cette culture du secret s’explique en partie par la législation, mais elle provient aussi des pratiques des services de protection de l’enfance.
Une illustration des problèmes d’Henri Ier Beauclerc en Normandie ? Les églises paroissiales de Breteuil-sur-Iton et Verneuil-sur-Avre (Eure)
Authors: Lemoine-Descourtieux Astrid
Published: March 2023

Situées aux confins méridionnaux de la Normandie ducale, les villes de Verneuil et Breteuil (Eure) ont développé, aux xie-xiie siècles, une architecture religieuse assez peu en conformité avec les traditions locales. Le parti pris architectural – des premiers niveaux notamment – se réfère surtout à la tradition normande d’Angleterre. Aucun des traits novateurs de l’architecture continentale, normande ou française, n’apparaît réellement dans les églises paroissiales de ces deux villes, dont l’une était pourtant un important chantier, dirigé par Henri Ier Beauclerc. Cette particularité semble constituer une illustration directe des problèmes d’autorité que ce souverain rencontra constamment en Normandie.
Unsupervised Classification of Water Quality Using Artificial Intelligence: The Case of the Moulouya Wadi's Surface Waters (NE, Morocco)
Authors: Manssouri Taj Eddine , Manssouri Imad , El Hmaidi Abdellah , Sahbi Hassane , Noureddine Othmane
Published: March 2023

Due to its cruciality, water requires a high care to its physicochemical and microbiological properties to ensure the quality of several utilizations. The particles it carries are likely to be ingested, breathed, or come into contact with the skin. For the classification of the quality of surface water in the Moulouya River (NE, Morocco), this study presents many unsupervised classification methods. The overall quality of surface water in the Moulouya River in northeast Morocco was assessed using nine physicochemical parameters (pH, T°C, EC, O2-diss, NH4+, NO3-, SO42-, PO43-, and biological oxygen demand after 5 days (BOD5)) from March to August 2014. Over a 600-kilometer stretch, twenty-two sites were examined, from the river's source in the High Atlas to its mouth in the Mediterranean. During the first stage, three quality classes (excellent, good and poor) were defined by the calculation of the water quality index (WQI) and water quality evaluation system (QES-Water). In the second stage, the K-means algorithm, the fuzzy C-means algorithm and the self-organizing maps (SOM) of Kohonen were applied to the nine physicochemical parameters used as input variables for the model. The classification method used is capable of projecting high-dimensional data into a lower dimension, typically 2D. This nonlinear projection can be useful in classes’ analysis and their discovery. In terms of performance, the SOM classification showed very close results compared to the K-means and the fuzzy C-means algorithms, with only an insignificant difference across the three models, with SOM maps having a slight advantage.
Effectiveness of Chewable Toothbrushes Compared to Manual Toothbrushes in Removing Dental Plaque - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Sharma Hunny , Ruikar Manisha
Published: March 2023

Objective:

Chewable toothbrushes (CT) are considered an effective tool for dental plaque removal; however, their effectiveness is still uncertain compared to Manual toothbrushes (MT).

Aim:

To evaluate the effectiveness of CT compared to MT in dental plaque removal.

Methods:

Studies comparing the efficiency of CT and MT in dental plaque removal measured by Turesky Modification of Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TMQHI), Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (QHI), or Silness Loe Plaque Index (SLPI) were identified in PubMed, Medline Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the CENTRAL. Results and effect sizes estimate are presented as mean difference, and subgroup analysis is presented separately for non-randomised interventional studies and randomised intervention studies. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (ROBINS-I and ROB2 tool).

Results:

A total of 10 studies were included in the systematic review, whereas six out of 10 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Both CT and MT were effective in plaque reduction over time when compared individually using the TMQHI and SLPI scores. The overall pooled summary showed no difference in CT and MT's dental plaque removal ability when measured using the TMQHI score. Similarly, there was no difference in CT and MT's dental plaque removal ability when measured using the SLPI score.

Conclusion:

There is no significant difference in CT and MT's plaque removal ability. Therefore, CT should only be recommended for children and individuals with a disability or manual dexterity.

Objective:

Chewable toothbrushes (CT) are considered an effective tool for dental plaque removal;
Ao som do coletivo: um rondó entre Freire, Ausubel e Orff
Authors: Gomes Luiz Felipe De Oliveira
Published: March 2023

O estudo investiga caminhos do Ensino Coletivo que valorizem uma educação libertadora, democrática e significativa. Considerando os princípios norteadores da Pedagogia da Autonomia de Freire (1996), do conceito de aprendizagem significativa de Ausubel (2002) e da Abordagem Orff-Schulwerk com auxílio de Cunha (2013) e Custodero (1998), fazendo um rondó com os modos de ensino-aprendizagem, entendendo de modo comparativo a aplicabilidade do conceito de ensino aprendizagem nos três autores. Por último, apresenta-se uma coda acrescentando os conceitos de Swanwick (1994), que dialoga com os três autores do rondó. Pretende-se destacar como esses autores pensam um ensino pautado na autonomia, no diálogo e na democracia. Há, ainda, a proposição de abordagens aplicadas que podem ser encaradas como sugestões para o desenvolvimento de uma educação musical coletiva e significativa. O estudo se justifica pela necessidade de buscar caminhos para lidar com a Educação Musical, não apenas como um meio de aquisição de habilidades musicais, mas, também, como um instrumento significativo de formação humana.

Turistificação, centralidade e configuração espacial:
Authors: Lombardi de Almeida Igor Tadeu , Soares de Medeiros Valério Augusto
Published: March 2023

O artigo consiste em uma análise configuracional para compreender a expansão urbana associada ao fenômeno de polinuclearização no sistema Itapema-Porto Belo, localizado no litoral de Santa Catarina, que tem presenciado crescimento demográfico decorrente da intensa turistificação nas últimas décadas. Se por um lado a paisagem é força motriz da urbanização e do desenvolvimento econômico, por outro sofre com os efeitos do turismo predatório, da especulação imobiliária e do espraiamento urbano.
Sob uma abordagem morfológica, pretende-se compreender de que maneira a urbanização, lida por meio de uma perspectiva configuracional e estimulada pela turistificação, afetou a dinâmica das centralidades existentes no assentamento. Para tanto, são avaliadas as centralidades em quatro níveis: centro ativo urbano/morfológico, centro tradicional, subcentros e centros especializados. A pesquisa ampara-se na Teoria da Lógica Social do Espaço (Sintaxe Espacial), ao assumir a cidade enquanto um sistema de interdependências, de modo que alterações em partes implicarão alterações no todo. Os resultados obtidos para o estudo de caso, em sua leitura configuracional, indicam a existência de um notório fenômeno de polinuclearização no sistema Itapema-Porto Belo, no qual centralidades de diferentes escalas e configurações apresentam funções específicas e hierarquizadas no tecido urbano.

Published: March 2023

A partir de uma matriz de análise desenvolvida em estudos anteriores que identificou quatro tipomorfologias das favelas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro – enclave, linha, quadra e malha – este artigo busca aprofundar o seu estudo em cinco momentos, ao longo de 100 anos, de 1922 a 2022, em quatro comunidades da Área de Planejamento 3 (AP3), a Zona Norte, na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A abordagem apoia-se em estudos sobre a morfologia urbana da cidade contemporânea onde o entendimento da tipomorfologia se estabelece como matriz síntese das relações entre os processos de urbanização e a conformação do tecido urbano. A metodologia empregada nas análises, que sobrepõe enfoque formal e temporal, se apoia na interpretação das alterações do tecido urbano a partir de mapas oriundos da cartografia oficial da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro e de imagens de satélite disponíveis pela Google. Nas considerações finais argumentamos acerca da relação híbrida que se estabelece entre a urbanização formal e a forma de crescimento da informalidade e verificamos a validade das categorias tipomorfológicas como aproximação sintética e diagramática do fenômeno da favela carioca.

Yara iyileşmesi; epitelyal, endotelyal, mezenkimal ve inflamatuvar hücrelerin biraraya gelip, normal işlevlerini belirli bir sıra ve düzen içerisinde yerine getirmeleriyle karakterizedir. Leptin, ağırlıklı olarak yağ dokusundan salgılanan ve yara iyileşme süresini kısalttığı bilinen sitokin benzeri bir hormondur. Bu çalışmada; fibroblast hücrelerinde yara iyileşmesi modeli oluşturarak leptinin doz (100 ng/mL, 200 ng/mL, 400 ng/mL ve 800 ng/mL) ve süre (24 ve 48 saat) bağımlı etkilerinin in vitro yöntemlerle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yara modeli oluşturulan hücreler üzerine artan dozlarda leptin uygulaması yapıldıktan 24 ve 48 saat sonra yara alanlarının kapanma oranları hesaplandı. Hücre canlılığını belirlemek amacı ile WST-1 analizi yapıldı. Crystal Violet boyaması ile fibroblast hücreleri morfolojik olarak incelendi ve FGFR2, KGF (FGF7), TGF-α, TGF-β1 ve Ki67 ekspresyonlarını belirlemek için de immunositokimya (ICC) analizi yapılarak H-Skor değerleri hesaplandı. In vitro yara modeli analizinde fibroblast hücrelerinin en yüksek yüzde kapanma oranı ve WST-1 analizi ile en yüksek hücre canlılık yüzdesi 48 saat 800 ng/mL leptin uygulanan grupta tespit edildi. ICC sonucunda elde edilen H-Skor değerleri ise, değerlendirilen proteinlerin ekspresyonlarının fibroblast hücrelerinde leptin dozu ve süresine bağlı olarak arttığını gösterdi. Çalışma sonucunda fibroblast hücrelerinde leptinin in vitro yara iyileşmesini sağlayan en etkili dozunun 800 ng/mL olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca FGFR2, KGF (FGF7), TGF-α, TGF-β1 ve Ki67 ekspresyonlarının leptin dozuna ve uygulama süresine bağlı olarak hücrelerde arttığı ve en yüksek artışın en yüksek dozda ortaya çıktığı gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, yapılacak olan in vivo yara iyileşmesi araştırmalarında leptin kullanımına öncülük edeceği düşünülmektedir.
When Should Survey Reminders be Sent Out? An Investigation Into Surveys Analyzing High Schoolers
Authors: Socol Sammy , Large Maura
Published: March 2023

In the modern day, surveys often have very low response rates. This reveals a need for greater understanding of survey research, in order to enable researchers to achieve high response rates. One relevant facet of survey research is reminder timings, or the amount of time between the survey invitation and the reminder. In this study, the researcher investigated a potential reminder timing, analyzing surveys on high school students to discover the day that people stop responding to surveys. The researcher found that in their dataset, people stop responding to surveys after an average of 3 days of the survey being active. This finding may be relevant to informing survey reminder timings in the future, as effective reminders may be placed at the point people stop responding to surveys. There may be more optimal reminder timings, however. More investigation must be done into the ideal point for survey reminders to generate more solid conclusions.
Team Momentum: The Criticality of Resources in League of Legends
Authors: Li David
Published: March 2023

Objective: This research investigates the impact of the early game and team resources on overall team performance in League of Legends, a Multi-player Online Battle Arena gaming environment. Background: The early game is typically defined as the first 10-15 minutes of the game. I hypothesize that a resource-based view approach fails to capture a holistic analysis of team performance, especially in early stages of formation. Methods: The data set used in this research consists of data from the first 10-15 minutes of professional gameplay. Results: Binary ANOVA and visual graphing techniques are used to explore the data to answer the proposed research questions. Gold difference over time is used as an independent variable in developed models. Results show that gold difference has a significant impact on but cannot always explain team performance. Conclusions: This study demonstrates how data on teamwork may be used to model the performance of teams. The results highlight that a pre-emptive resource-based view may fall short in explaining team success and performance. Application: This research shows the value of reassessing a resource-based view to account for resource allocation and its effects on team performance.

Authors: Zhao Joy
Published: March 2023

This paper seeks to investigate the sneaker trading industry through the analysis of the business model. Through a variety of ways of data collection, including both primary and secondary data, the mechanism of sneaker speculation was able to be found. The analysis of the profit model also helps to explain the reasons for the high-sky prices of sneakers. The buyers of sneakers are composed of two categories: enthusiasts and speculators, where speculators only take up a small proportion. The high prices of sneakers were achieved due to the Hunger Promotion by the suppliers, and the act of sneaker speculation has a lot of similarities to the stock market.
An Exploration of Post-Postmodern Political Irony in Contemporary American Late-Night Television Shows
Authors: Li Aidan
Published: March 2023

Philosopher and writer David Foster Wallace introduced the world to the post-postmodernist literature movement, a movement centered around the assertion that political satire, following the beginnings of the 21st century, shifted towards the utilization of more “authentic” tactics to satirically undermine authority. Following the movement’s introduction, numerous scholars have followed suit, conducting similar studies consistent with Wallace’s initial findings. However, as further noted throughout this paper, these scholars utilize a relatively “unmodernized” definition of irony. By employing a more “complex” interpretation of irony, I seek to measure the accuracy of the current conclusions surrounding 21st-century political satire, specifically through the medium of late-night television. I examined multiple late-night television shows prior to and during the 21st century to determine if this medium of political satire has truly shifted towards the utilization of more “sincere” tactics to undermine authority. This paper was written with the initial assumption that the current conclusions surrounding political satire would fall short with the integration of this more complex outlook of irony, and through the research process, this phenomenon was proven to be accurate. The study concludes that the medium of political satire utilizes more complex ironic devices that were not initially identified in current research surrounding post-post-postmodernism. This research indicates that late-night television satire possesses the ability to heavily muddle the audiences’ interpretation of satirical statements. Therefore, the analysis and conclusions provided by this paper can be used to introduce audiences to these emerging forms of irony and illustrate the frequency of such rhetorical strategies.
