Einfluss von Gender auf Parodontitis: Prävention, Prävalenz und Ätiologie in einer narrativen Übersicht
Authors: Worni Sabrina , Schmidlin Patrick R. , Liu Chun Ching
Published: January 2025

Periodontitis leads to a destruction of the tooth-supporting apparatus, which untreated may end up in tooth-loss. Key factor in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is the host immune response, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle factors (such as smoking, stress, and diabetes), all of which influence disease severity. Periodontitis is more common in men than women, this fact may point out that gender may have an influence on periodontitis. In addition, the incidence and severity seem to have a gender predilection with the incidence and severity of periodontal disease appearing to be greater in males than in females. The purpose of this narrative review was to summarize the existing literature on influence of gender in periodontology. The review included German and English articles and aimed to identify any gender differences in periodontitis. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines gender as the socially constructed characteristics, norms, behaviors and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, and the relationships between them. The topic of “gender” is not a new topic in dentistry. However, existing studies are relatively limited and further research is needed to improve our understanding of this topic. In fact, understanding gender and gender differences in oral health may be valuable for improving the effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic interventions. By recognizing and addressing these differences, healthcare professionals can tailor their approaches to better address the specific needs and challenges of individuals of different genders. This can help improve overall oral health outcomes.

Bajo la perspectiva teórica de la sociología de los problemas públicos, que observa los procesos mediante los que diversos actores discuten y negocian soluciones a una situación controvertida, este trabajo se propone analizar el debate social sobre la cuestión desde 2019, año de la revuelta de la España vacía. En particular, se analiza el contenido sobre despoblación publicado en Twitter/X entre mayo de 2019 y mayo de 2023, que aúna un total de 328.714 publicaciones en las que se han visto implicadas 93.412 cuentas. Los resultados muestran una importante politización de la cuestión, con picos de interés en campañas electorales. La eclosión de la atención se sitúa en 2019, cuando emergió en la discusión en términos nacionales, mientras que en 2023 se aprecia un declive en el interés que podría traducirse en el futuro en un repliegue hacia los territorios directamente afectados.
Propuesta de una ontología como modelo de representación del conocimiento del cine doméstico
Authors: L´´opez Hernández María Ángeles , Domínguez Delgado Rubén , De la Cuadra de Colmenares Elena
Published: January 2025

Se presenta una propuesta de ontología para el dominio del cine doméstico conservado en filmotecas, que optimice los procesos de organización y búsqueda de este tipo de documentos. Al no existir una metodología estándar de diseño de ontologías, se optó por la formulada por Mendonça y Soares, por su simplicidad y claridad. Tras el visionado de 300 películas domésticas se obtuvo un glosario de términos, a partir del cual se construyó una taxonomía, utilizando un doble enfoque jerárquicorelacional, a fin de poder navegar de forma más flexible por los contenidos. Siguiendo el esquema OWL se definieron clases, subclases, relaciones entre clases, y axiomas. Actualmente, esta propuesta ontológica, la primera que se desarrolla en este ámbito, se encuentra en fase experimental para su verificación y validación.

Published: January 2025

The integration of psychological approaches in Islamic studies has gained significant attention in recent years, emphasizing the understanding of human behavior, mental processes, and emotions through both scientific and Islamic perspectives. This paper explores how Islamic teachings, particularly from the Quran and Hadith, align with modern psychological principles, offering a comprehensive framework for mental health, personal development, and emotional well-being. The application of concepts such as nafs (self/soul), fitrah (innate nature), and ruh (spirit) are discussed in relation to psychological theories of personality, motivation, and mental health. By bridging these fields, the study seeks to demonstrate how psychological tools and therapeutic techniques can be adapted within an Islamic framework to enhance spiritual and mental well-being, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, and personal growth. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances the relevance of Islamic teachings in contemporary mental health discussions but also offers new perspectives for understanding human nature through a spiritual and scientific lens.

Authors: Ainiyah Maslakhatul , Mudlofar M. , Faqihatin Faqihatin
Published: January 2025

Adolescence is a crucial developmental phase in a person’s life, during which individuals seek self-identity and understand their social roles. Ineffective communication between parents, teachers, and the social environment with adolescents can significantly impact personality formation, such as reduced self-confidence, a tendency to become introverted, or passive behavior. Communication is a primary tool in social interaction, functioning as a medium for sharing ideas, emotions, and experiences. This study aims to identify the extent to which communication effectiveness influences adolescent personality development and to analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors of communication in the school environment of Tanjung Widoro Village, Mengare. Using a qualitative approach through observation and in-depth interviews, this study found that effective family communication significantly affects adolescents’ behavior and intrapersonal intelligence. Open communication between parents and adolescents fosters a sense of acceptance, courage in decision-making, and the ability of parents to understand and support their children’s development. Supporting factors include parental emotional involvement, consistent communication patterns, and support from the school environment. Conversely, communication barriers arise from a lack of interaction time, generational differences, and social pressures from the surrounding environment. These findings emphasize the importance of effective communication in shaping adolescent personality and provide recommendations to improve communication patterns in family and school environments.

Applications of Three Genomic Approaches in Alzheimer's Disease Research
Authors: Wang Tianhao
Published: January 2025

Dementia is a group of diseases that affect brain function and lead to a decline in cognitive abilities. Some types involve the gradual loss of function in brain neurons, such as Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive dysfunction and is one of the most common neurodegenerative dementias. The growing prevalence, particularly in aging populations, underscores the need for enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic stproportiongies. The application of cutting-edge genomic technologies, encompassing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), whole exome sequencing (WES) to explore protein-coding regions for functional mutations, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to dissect cellular heterogeneity at a granular level, has collectively enhanced our insight into the intricate genetic architecture of AD, shedding light on the complex interplay of genes and biological pathways implicated in the disease's pathogenesis. GWAS has identified several risk loci, including the APOE ε4 allele, which plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and amyloid-β clearance. However, GWAS primarily detects common variants, limiting its ability to explain rare genetic mutations. WES, which focuses on protein-coding regions, has uncovered rare variants in genes such as PSEN1 and PSEN2, which are linked to early-onset familial AD. Despite its strengths, WES overlooks non-coding regions critical for gene regulation. scRNA-seq provides high-resolution insights into cellular heterogeneity, identifying cell subsets and molecular mechanisms involved in AD. This technique has revealed novel therapeutic targets by analyzing gene expression at the single-cell level. However, it faces challenges in data processing and cost. Integrating these approaches offers a more comprehensive view of AD’s pathology, enhancing early diagnosis and personalized treatment. As genomic technologies evolve, they hold great promise for improving our understanding and management of AD.

Authors: Yang Jinglan
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this study is to explore the intervention effect of music therapy on adolescent depression, and to summarize and analyze seven related studies, determine intervention effects and characteristics, identify existing problems, and provide suggestions and directions for further research in the future. In summary, the research results indicate that music therapy can effectively alleviate symptoms of depression in adolescents and can be combined with other treatment methods. However, music therapy still has limitations, as its intervention effect on patients with severe depression is relatively small and time limited (long-term use of music therapy treatment will gradually decrease over time). However, there are still inconsistencies between data in existing studies, and the types and methods of treatment used in reference studies are not uniform. Hence, further investigation is required in the future to establish the most optimal timing, frequency, and form of music therapy treatment.

Authors: Romadhona Wulanova , Syavera Venita
Published: January 2025

Generalized Linear Models (GLM) is a statistical approach that generalize linear regression models to handle response variables that are not necessarily normal. This research uses Gamma and Lognormal distributions to analyze the effect of Labor Force Participation Rate, Gini Ratio, and Percentage of Working Population on the Indonesia Democracy Index in West Java during 2021-2023. Both distributions are used and compared using AIC. Some of the results of this research are: 1) Lognormal GLM has a lower AIC, so it is better to use than Gamma GLM. 2) From these two models, obtained the same analysis results, that are Gini Ratio and Percentage of Working Population have a significant effect on Indonesia Democracy Index, with the Gini Ratio having a negative effect and the Percentage of Working Population having a positive effect. This shows that the higher of the Gini Ratio, the lower the Indonesia Democracy Index and vice versa, while the higher of the Percentage of Working Population, the higher the Indonesia Democracy Index and vice versa. 3) Meanwhile the Labor Force Participation Rate does not have a significant effect on the Indonesia Democracy Index. This research can be concluded that reducing social inequality and increasing population participation in employment contribute to improving the quality of democracy in West Java.

Published: January 2025

This research discusses the strategy of distributing inheritance (tirkah) based on customary law in Jambi Province, which combines Malay traditional values with the principles of Islamic law. In Jambi Malay society, the division of inheritance is based on the philosophy of “Adat Bersendi Syara‘, Syara’ Bersendi Kitabullah”, which is the main guide to maintaining justice and social harmony. The process of division is usually carried out through deliberation involving family members, traditional leaders and ulama to reach consensus, while ensuring that individual rights are respected in accordance with customary law and Islamic teachings. This research identifies two main approaches to inheritance distribution: the collective system and the individual system. The collective system is applied to certain types of assets such as land and houses that are inherited jointly, while the individual system is applied to movable assets such as jewellery and vehicles. In this process, the Jambi Malay Customary Institution plays a key role as an arbiter to resolve inheritance conflicts while preserving traditional values. The results show that the division of inheritance in Jambi faces challenges, such as the influence of modernization and potential conflicts with formal law. Therefore, several strategies are proposed, including strengthening the role of customary institutions, organizing customary education, involving religious leaders, as well as facilitating deliberation to ensure this tradition remains sustainable.

MATHEMATICAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE LOSCHMIDT CONSTANT, THE AVOGADRO CONSTANT, AND THE SPEED OF SOUND IN REAL GASES AT DIFFERENT THE pvT THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
Authors: Neimarlija Nagib , Arifović Kemal
Published: January 2025

In this paper, a differential equation is derived that gives the relationship among the Loschmidt constant, the Avogadro constant, and the speed of sound in real gases as a function of the thermodynamic properties of the gas (pressure, temperature, and volume). The constant ratios NL/NA and the relative deviation of the NL/NA ratio from the mean value for the gases (hydrogen, helium, carbon monoxide, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane) were calculated using their real-equations of state, confirming the validity of the derived equation. The first calculation of the ratio of the constants NL/NA and the relative deviation of the NL/NA ratio from the mean value for the gases at standard state (temperature 273.15 K and pressure 101,325 Pa) shows a good agreement with the published results in the literature, given the fact that the literature data of the NL/NA ratio is 0.04461498 at standard state. The second calculation of the constant ratios NL/NA and the relative deviation of the NL/NA ratio from the mean (average) value for the real gases was made for a pressure of 500,000 Pa and a temperature of 293.15 K, which also resulted in similar behavior as in previous case. The third calculation of the constant ratios NL/NA and the relative deviation of the NL/NA ratio from the mean
(average) value for the real gases was made for a pressure of 1000,000 Pa and a temperature of 320.0 K, which also gave similar behavior as in previous case.
Environmental art design from a biomechanical perspective: Exploration of the psychological and physiological effects of the integration of transparent materials and traditional cultural elements on residential spaces
Authors: Yan An , Zhao Zhanpeng , Wang Juan
Published: January 2025

With the advancement of urbanization, environmental art design is becoming increasingly important in contemporary Chinese interior design, especially in the design of modern rural villas. The integration of traditional culture and art has become an important way to enhance the artistic value and cultural significance of residential spaces. This article explores the psychological and physiological effects of interior design that combines transparent materials with traditional art elements from a biological perspective on residents. Transparent materials are like delicate optical structures in the biological world. They not only give the space a sense of lightness and openness, but their interaction with light also has a profound impact on the human body. From a biomechanical perspective, just like the sensitive capture of light signals by the biological visual system, transparent materials of different colors and materials can adjust light and shadow, and then act on the human nervous system and psychological state. Bright light passing through transparent materials is like a strong stimulus perceived by organisms, which can stimulate vitality; soft light is like a soothing signal, which can bring a relaxing effect. In addition, the integration of traditional cultural elements enhances the spiritual satisfaction of residents by evoking cultural identity and emotional resonance. This paper also combines case studies, such as Hiroshima Optical Glass House and Türkiye Draman Villa, to analyze how transparent materials can achieve the balance of visual, emotional and biological effects in the modern living environment, providing a new perspective for improving the quality of life of residents. The research results indicate that the organic combination of transparent materials and traditional cultural elements can not only improve the biological experience of residential spaces, but also promote physical and mental health, enhance the emotional value and cultural depth of the space. By applying insights from biomechanics, designers can create environments that support human physiology, ultimately improving residents' quality of life. This interdisciplinary approach offers a novel perspective on how interior design can significantly influence well-being and cultural depth in modern living environments.

Early problems, which usually appear 30 days after surgery, can have a detrimental effect on patient outcomes, lengthen hospital stays, escalate medical expenses, and, in serious cases, cause death. This study aims to identify factors associated with early postoperative complications in gastrointestinal surgeries within the Iraqi population. This is a cross-sectional study that took place in hospitals of the Wasit province during the period from August to the end of December 2024. Two hundred patients of each group who had undergone GI surgeries participated. The questionnaire was pretested before it was sent for data collection. Included the patient's demographics, surgery details, and postoperative outcomes. The data were recorded by direct patient interviews. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS to identify associations between risk factors and complications. Half of the total (100/200) patients were aged between 30 and 50 years old. More than half of those were males (65%) and nonsmokers (60%). The most frequently performed surgeries were cholecystectomy (30%), bowel resection (25%), and appendectomy (20%). Most of these surgeries (70%) were elective and (55%) by laparoscopy. Around a third (30%) of samples reported early postoperative complications; surgical site infection was the most frequent (33.3%). Half (50%) of patients who had complications were aged more than 50 years old with a significant association (P < 0.001). High body mass index (above 30), emergency surgeries, open surgeries, and no prophylactic antibiotics were also associated with early postoperative complications.

The patients with Acute heart failure (AHF) usually present with multiple interrelated comorbidities. These comorbidities play a major role in determining the prognosis and outcome of AHF patients, as well as affecting the management. Our study aimed to describe the Effect of the presence of non-cardiac comorbidities on the outcomes of the admitting patients with AHF in Tripoli University Hospital. From Jan- Oct 2022 we carried out this descriptive cross-sectional study in the cardiac department and cardiac care unit in Tripoli University Hospital. A self-constructed questionnaire was designed to collect the data from medical records, and then the data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20. 140 were enrolled in this study. The patients were 102 (72.9%) males and 38 (27.1%) females, their mean age was 60.08 yrs. ± SD 12.9. 128 patients (91.4%) were presented in the decompensated stage of their previous heart failure status and 5 (3,6%) presented as cardiogenic shock. Non-compliance to treatment was the leading aggrevating cause for decompensation with a percentage of 31.4% followed by infection at 29.2 %, and atrial fibrillation in 12.1% of the cases. Almost all enrolled patients had multiple comorbidities only 8 (5.7%) had no comorbiditiesThose comorbidities include D.M in 84 patients (60%), anemia in17 patients (12.1%), chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 43 patients (30.7%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 4 (2.9%). Regarding treatment, only 10.7% of our patients were on the guidelines-directed medical therapy of heart failure (GDMT) in their discharge to home, According to the patient outcomes in this study 14 (10%) of patients needed advanced management, 12 (8.6%) died. The rest of the 114 (81.4%) responded to standard medical management mainly diuretics and GDMT. This study showed a significant statistical correlation between CKD and the worse outcomes with a (p-value = 0.055).and between cardiogenic shock and in-hospital mortality with a (p-value = 0.057). Our patients were relatively young, mostly male, with a high prevalence of D.M, , more acute on chronic heart failure than denevo cases, and lower use of GDMT use, The presence of comorbidities, especially CKD as well as the presence of cardiogenic shock, are associated with increases the risk of in-hospital mortality.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), NonPerforming Financing (NPF), Operating Costs to Operating Income (BOPO), and Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) on the profitability of Islamic commercial banks for the period 2019–2023. A quantitative approach is used, using secondary data sourced from the annual financial reports of 12 Islamic banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The research findings reveal that CAR has a significant positive effect on ROA, indicating that higher capital buffers increase profitability. Conversely, NPF has a negative impact on ROA, highlighting the adverse impact of credit risk on bank performance. BOPO has a significant negative impact on ROA, emphasizing the importance of operational efficiency in increasing profitability. FDR shows a positive and significant relationship with ROA. These findings provide practical insights for bank management and regulators to improve operational efficiency and credit quality, which ultimately supports the sustainable growth of Islamic banking in Indonesia.
