Published: May 2019

Introduction: Gingival hyperpigmentation is excessive deposition of melanin pigments in the epithelium of gingiva which affects facial esthetics. Various surgical methods for gingival depigmentation have been used to treat the darkened color of pigmented gingiva. This study compared the use of 940 nm diode laser and liquid nitrogen cryosurgery in the treatment of gingival physiologic hyperpigmentation in terms of gingival depigmentation, postoperative pain, healing duration, pigmentation recurrence, and patients’ satisfaction. Methods: Fifteen systemically healthy patients (11 females and 4 males; 17-35 years of age) with bilateral gingival physiologic hyperpigmentation were enrolled in this split-mouth randomized study. Maxillary anterior labial gingiva of each patient was divided into left and right halves, and each half was randomly depigmented by either laser or cryosurgery. Patients were given questionnaires to evaluate the procedures and were followed up in 3, 7, 10, 17 and 21 days postoperatively for the assessment of gingival healing and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatments to detect any sign of pigmentation recurrence. Results: The severity of post-op pain measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) was mild to average and showed no significant difference between the 2 modalities (P>0.05). There was no considerable swelling or hemorrhage after the treatment procedures and the healing duration was significantly shorter in laser (P<0.05). The degree of pigmentation in all gingival sites treated by laser reached and remained at zero until the last follow up (1 year) and reached zero in 9 out of 15 cryosurgerytreated sites. All patients were completely satisfied with the laser, and 9 out of 15 were completely satisfied with cryosurgery. No pigmentation recurrence was observed during any follow-up periods. Conclusion: Removal of gingival physiologic hyperpigmentation by laser therapy and cryotherapy was effective and safe. The efficiency of the laser was better than cryotherapy.
On the Spatial Variation of the Microstructure and Microhardness Properties of Nickel-Based Superalloy René 142 Fabricated via Scanning Laser Epitaxy (SLE)
Authors: Basak Amrita , Yang Yunpei , Das Suman
Published: May 2019

This article seeks to investigate and characterize the spatial variation of the microstructure and microhardness properties of René 142, a high-γ′ nickel-based superalloy, fabricated through single-pass depositions using scanning laser epitaxy (SLE), a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF)–based additive manufacturing (AM) process. Various advanced material characterization techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Vickers microhardness measurements are employed to thoroughly characterize the SLE-fabricated René 142 specimens. Whereas optical microscopy analyses reveal that the primary dendritic arm spacing (PDAS) remains relatively constant, scanning electron microscopy investigations demonstrate that the size of the γ′ precipitates increase as the scan progresses. Microhardness measurements indicate that the hardness values remain unaffected along the scan direction. Through this study, it is demonstrated that the microstructure and the microhardness properties of the AM-fabricated René 142 deposits are strong functions of the spatial location.
Spiritual Fraternities: The Transnational Networks of Ngô Đình Diệm’s Personalist Revolution and the Republic of Vietnam, 1955–1963
Authors: Tan Mitchell
Published: May 2019

This article elucidates the role of personalism in Ngô Đình Diệm’s relations with his principal anticommunist allies in Asia by considering the First Republic’s involvement in the Asian Peoples’ Anti-Communist League and Moral Re-Armament. These organizations provided crucial transnational platforms through which Ngô Đình Diệm secured support for his personalist vision. Shared beliefs about the spiritual and moral threat of communist materialism, and the spiritual revolution it demanded in response, undergirded Ngô Đình Diệm’s anticommunist alliances in Asia. The First Republic’s deep involvement in these regional organizations, which operated free from US influence, challenges prevailing conceptions of its engagement with Cold War Asia.

Authors: Kahraman Dogan , Uyar Ihsan Sami , Duman Umit , Karaca Ibrahim Sami , Dogan Dilek , Tural Kevser , Dogan Omer Faruk , Akcevin Atif
Published: May 2019

Background: There are limited data about the results of simultaneous coronary revascularization, either with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and cholecystectomy operations. Here we present clinical outcomes of the patients who underwent simultaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and coronary revascularization at the same session.
Patients and Methods: We included a total of 19 patients who underwent simultaneous LC and CABG or PCI. Thirteen of them had been hospitalized because of acute cholecystitis prior to coronary angiography. Simultaneous CABG and LC were performed in 10 patients (group I). LC was performed immediately after CABG surgery at the same session. PCI (group II) was performed in 9 patients. In the PCI group, LC was performed under general anesthesia 2 or 3 days after PCI.
Results: No mortality was seen after the procedures. In the CABG group, the mean number of bypass grafts was 3.4 ± 1.9. The mean extracorporeal circulation and the total operation times were 95 ± 13.5 minutes and 259 ± 18.9 minutes, respectively; the mean intubation duration was 17 ± 4.8 hours. In the PCI group, the mean number of stents per patient was 2.1 ± 0.7; LC was performed 2 or 3 days after the PCI without the cessation of clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid. The mean operation times for LC were 56.5 ± 15.6 minutes and 51.3 ± 17.6 minutes in the CABG and PCI groups, respectively (P = .86). In the CABG group, the mean durations of ICU and hospital stays were 3.1 ± 1.4 and 14.2 ± 3.7 days, respectively. In the PCI group, the mean durations of ICU stay and hospitalization were 1.7 ± 0.4 and 7.4 ± 2.2 days, respectively. Significant differences were found between the 2 groups in terms of the intubation time, duration of ICU stay, and hospitalization periods (P =.001, P =.0001, and P =.001, respectively). No intra-abdominal complications or bleeding was encountered in any group. Postoperative complications of the abdominal wall or mediastinitis were not seen in the setting of concomitant procedures in the CABG group.
Conclusion: Simultaneous CABG or PCI with LC may be performed safely in patients with cholecystitis. The durations of postcholecystectomy ICU stay and the intubation time were significantly lower in the PCI group. According to our results, PCI may be the first choice of revascularization procedure in selected patients requiring cholecystectomy prior to discharge.
Jóvenes en Colombia y Brasil en una sociedad individualista en busca de trabajo digno y seguridad social
Authors: Vargas Sandoval Yaneth , Bracchi Silveira Carla
Published: May 2019

En la presente investigación se pretende hacer un análisis de la situación real en que viven los jóvenes en América Latina, específicamente en Colombia y Brasil, señalando que son un bono demográfico que debe ser aprovechado en la región. La identificación de los jóvenes tan solo se hará en el siglo XX, definiéndose en el marco legal de Brasil como joven a las personas de 15 a 29 años y en Colombia a las de 14 a 28 años. Igualmente, se hará un acercamiento de los jóvenes y el trabajo, de los jóvenes y la transición educación-trabajo, de la informalidad en los jóvenes, demostrando que esta situación afecta más a las mujeres que a los hombres. Sumado a lo anterior se evidencian los jóvenes que se encuentran excluidos de la sociedad, sin estudio y sin trabajo. Con esto se concluye que en Colombia y en Brasil no se hace una diferenciación del joven en el trabajo, ni en la seguridad social, lo que afecta de manera directa su acceso en un futuro a una pensión.

The implications of the so-called sex tourism associated with the commercial exploitation of children and adolescents in Colombia in addition to child pornography have led the different States to implement measures against this scourge that allow for the special and double protection of minors as subjects of rights, reality that has been made visible by the media, who have opened a debate about public policies and their effectiveness, for which the Colombian State has increased penalties as a normative response. This research is framed in the qualitative research methodology, which shows the method of descriptive research. Its purposes were circumscribed to identifying the legal nature of the normative framework of commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in Colombia, from child pornography, and to determine the mentioned topic from the travel and tourism scenario.
Teología económica para las víctimas del desplazamiento forzoso, a la luz del Documento de Medellín
Authors: Hays Christopher Michael
Published: May 2019

This article explores how a project of the Colombian evangelical church, Faith and Displacement, confronts the extreme poverty which results from forced displacement in Colombia and thereby responds to various challenges raised in the conference of Medellín (especially “La pobreza de la Iglesia”, “Pastoral popular” and “Pastoral de élites”). It outlines the pedagogical and research methodology of the project, the academic theological reflection developed in relation to economic topics, and how those reflections were integrated into the materials designed for pastors, professionals, and displaced persons. Thus, it proffers an example of how one community of faith seeks to respond to the “signs of the times”, incarnating a preferential Christian option for Colombians displaced by the armed conflict.

The First Congress of Latin American and Caribbean Theology intends to reflect on the conclusive document of the II General Conference of the Latin American Episcopate fifty years after its promulgation, inviting new generations of theologians to reappropriate the meaning of this event in which the Latin American episcopate applied to its own context the category Signs of the times proposed by the Second Vatican Council: a context characterized by a growing awareness of the particularities of the Latin American Church, popular Catholicism, the development of grassroots communities and the urgent need for human promotion and of an effective option for the poor.
The Operationalization of Ernesto Laclau’s Theory of Populism: Case of the Political Party “The Way of Courage”
Authors: Jonutis Karolis
Published: May 2019

This article aims to explain the rise of the Lithuanian political party “The Way of Courage” using Ernesto Laclau’s discourse theory of populism, in which populism is understood as a logic of collective identity formation. The advantages of this theoretical approach are revealed by comparing it with other tendencies of conceptualizing populism. In addition, this article is an attempt to solve the main disadvantage of E. Laclau’s theory – its high level of abstractness, understood as an obstacle for operationalization. Therefore, various possibilities of combining E. Laclau’s theory with other methodological perspectives are discussed, and a new research model is suggested, which is later applied in the discourse analysis of the political party “The Way of Courage.”
The Concept of “Internal Colonization” and Its Application in a Comparative Analysis of (Post)Soviet States
Authors: Čepaitienė Rasa
Published: May 2019

This article discusses a direction of sociocultural studies – the cultural history of natural resources – and the possibilities of its application in examining the causes of inequality and social exclusion in post-Soviet Lithuania. This theoretical-methodological approach assumes a strong interdependence shared between the extraction of natural resources, a state’s political system and institutions as well as certain sociocultural provisions. In exploring the concept of “internal colonization,” developed by historian of culture Alexander Etkind and other authors, this article sets guidelines for a comparative analysis of the sociopolitical structure of post-Soviet countries (especially Russia and Lithuania). Some initial hypotheses regarding the trends, differences, and similarities of post-Soviet societies in the long historical perspective, from the 16th century up to our time, are presented for further analysis. This article concludes that this methodological approach could be sufficiently promising in explaining the specifics of the socioeconomic development of independent Lithuania, in particular by applying the hypothesis of a “secondary internal colonization,” which has been raised during the course of the investigation.
The Transformation of the Concept of an Urban Ecosystem: Classical and Modern Urban Ecology
Authors: Žiemelis Darius
Published: May 2019

Contemporary trends in urban development indicate that its processes rarely observe ecocentric perspectives, under which nature is considered as a value. This concept is represented by modern urban ecology. Meanwhile, the urban ecosystem, as a concept of a human system, is represented by classical urban ecology. The existence of different urban ecosystem concepts encourages a closer look at not only the differences between these concepts but also the circumstances that have led to this transformation process. The aim of this article is to analyze the concepts of an urban ecosystem in classical and modern urban ecology, focusing not only on the explication of the content of the concepts of urban ecosystem, but also on the social, cultural and economic conditions of the emergence of different concepts. This article reveals that the separation of urban ecosystem concepts was determined by the different sociocultural environment in which classical urban ecology and contemporary urban ecology have emerged. From the point of view of modern urban ecology, in order to explain the reasons for the emergence of global urban development problems and to search for solutions to them, the conceptual legacy of classical urban ecology, due to its anthropocentric orientation, not only cannot be of use anymore but also hinders in this search – that is, instead of solving problems, it makes them even worse.
The Time-Space and Identity Discourse of a City – or How to Appropriate Klaipėda?
Authors: Kiauka Tomas
Published: May 2019

In this article, two different models of Klaipėda city’s time-space appropriation are analyzed and compared by applying the phenomenological concept of “depth of time,” coined by philosopher A. Mickūnas. One is represented by a scientific-methodological discourse, examining the poetic and philosophical/publicist interpretations of the narrated city of Klaipėda; the second model includes and analyzes poetic essays on Klaipėda, which convey the artistic-aesthetic (re)presentation of the city’s time-space. This comparison allows one to draw a conclusion that artistic narration, arising from an immediate experience of the city’s time-space, appears to be a more effective form of appropriation, for it makes possible an authentic integration of different time-space dimensions, divided (and contrapositioned) by historic turning-points. Because it contains a kind of developed subjectivity, artistic narration, contrary to an approach based on academic discourse, it also has no claims to some “privileged” knowledge of the city and as such contributes to the plurality of the construction of the city’s identities.

Published: May 2019

In Ukraine, as the raw material for the production of cereals, flour, flakes, the following main crops are used: wheat,barley, buckwheat, oats, corn, rice, millet, peas. The volume of world grain production has grown significantly in recentyears. In Ukraine, corn is the main fodder crop, and only a small amount is used as a food. Corn has the leading place amongthe major grain crops in world agricultural production. Corn grain production is concentrated in warm regions. In some regions,corn is the basis of the traditional nutrition of the population, but basically it forms part of the feed in the feeding offarm animals.Today about 3500 food and technological products are produced from corn. Corn can largely satisfy the needs oflivestock, its share is almost 30% of concentrated feed. With the advent of new directions in the development of biotechnologyin the world, the significance of this culture will increase even more. The programs of biofuel production are gaining momentum,in connection with which a significant expansion of the sown area under the corn is foreseen.In this article features of water-heat treatment of corn grain during preparation for processing are provided. Featuresof the use of hot and cold grain conditioning in the cereal industry are considered. In the course of this study, it wasdetermined that the optimum water temperature for humidifying corn sugar is 60 ºС. Using a certain water temperature duringhumidification will enable to perform more efficiently the directed change of technological properties of grain, to ensurethe high efficiency of its further processing. The results of research of the water absorption capacity of sugar corn grain arepresented. As can be seen from the research carried out to improve the efficiency of the STI and optimize the processing technology,the grain lots are fractionated into more homogeneous flows of physical properties and treated separately.
USING OF BIOTESTING IN SAFTY ASSESMENT OF THE EXTRUDED FEED ADDITIVE WITH ALGAE
Authors: MAKARYNSKA A. , VORONA N.
Published: May 2019

The article is devoted to the problems of determining quality and safety of extruded feed additive (EFA) with algae. It is used in the production of mixed feed and premixes. It is proved that the safety of finished food products depends on the safety of feed and feed raw materials. The list of conditions for obtaining safe finished products is given. Today traditional methods of analytical chemistry, express and toxicological methods (marking, biotesting) are used for the analysis of feed safety. The expediency of use of brown algae in the composition of feed products is substantiated. The brightest representative ofbrown algae is Laminaria. The technology of using Laminaria algae in the composition of feed products in the form of extruded feed additive is proposed. The method of determination of organicity by methods of biotesting is given: biocrystallization method, determination of the oxidation-reduction potential index (ORP), organicity using Colpoda steinii culture. Indicators of organicity are given. An analysis of experimental samples biocrystalograms suggests that EFA is environmentally safe and do not endanger the environment or the health and life of animals and humans. When determining the ORP of the EFA with algae it was established that the product is easily digestible, since it has a biological compatibility with the animal organism. The expediency of using the process of extrusion to reduce the toxicity of algae is established. The application of the extrusion allows to add up to 15% Laminaria algae to the feed. The results of biological studies of EFA in vivo are presented, which indicate a high biological efficiency of the use of algal feed supplement in the composition of feed for young farm birds in the amount of up to 25%, since the average daily weight gain of rats increases and the cost of feed decreases.

HEIDEGGER ABOUT THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL INTENTION OF DESCARTES` PHILOSOPHIZING
Authors: Malivskyi Anatolii M.
Published: May 2019

The purpose of the article is to single out and comprehend the key points of Heidegger`s vision of the main ideas of Descartes` philosophy while searching «the other beginning» of philosophizing as anthropology. The implementation of the objective assumes the solution of the following tasks: justification of the Heidegger`s idea of the critical relation to the established stereotypes of technomorphism about the basic intention of Descartes` philosophy, the reconstruction of the context of Heidegger`s considering the understanding of the basic intention and main motives of Descartes` philosophizing, the authenticity analysis of the reception of Descartes` doctrine by Heidegger in modern literature. Methodology. The achievements of the anthropologically focused thought of the 20th century, namely existentialism, philosophical anthropology, personalism, communicative philosophy have the essential potential during the constructive judgment and theoretical reconstruction of anthropological intention of philosophizing. Heidegger's heritage takes on a special significance, especially his reflections about the ways of searching and finding a substantial alternative to the technicism in the form of «the other beginning» of philosophizing. Scientific novelty. The analysis of the scientific literature, devoted to the relationship of Heidegger – Descartes, testifies to the domination of the truncated understanding of Descartes`s philosophy deprived of an anthropological component, and, as a result, ignoration of the substantial succession of the Descartes` ideas by Heidegger. Considering Heidegger's corresponding texts devoted to the understanding of the deep transformations of the New time, we find out the anthropology as a cornerstone of science and technology. Understanding the basic part of anthropology in the culture of the New time makes Heidegger devote much attention to the destruction of the established ideas of self-sufficiency of science, technology, thinking and to the detection of those hidden ones from a superficial view of personal nature of philosophical knowledge. Conclusions. Heidegger reasonably decides to pay much attention to Descartes` heritage as one of the fundamental thinkers, whose works are especially important during the simultaneous understanding of both the sources of the European anthropology, and the formation of the bases of the technogenic civilization of the New time. Heidegger's heritage considerably contributes to more authentic interpretation of the basic intention and the main motives of Descartes` philosophy. His opening new prospects to a considerable degree is caused by his own anthropological orientation, critical attitude to the linear concept of the history of philosophy, the rejection of superficial teсhnomorphism interpretation of philosophy.

FORMATION OF THE NEW WORLD VIEW, NEW PERSON, NEW SOCIETY OF THE FUTURE
Authors: Voronkova Valentina A.
Published: May 2019

Objective: To substantiate the anthropological approaches to the definition of the noosphere and cosmic consciousness and the world, a new consciousness, a new man, a new society of the future, by which humankind can go to a new state of mutual responsibility. Society should be based on a spiritual basis, a person must develop in harmony with the universe, so the philosophers need to change the philosophy of survival of the globalized world in the development of philosophy and spirituality, which is a new matrix of the discourse of development and outlook of the universe. The meaning of the individual in society - to be useful to society and to the person, to be a master, to live in harmony with people and nature. Methodology. Study is based on the methd of hermeneutical analysis.The scientific novelty of this work is shown in the results, which indicate the formation of the noosphere worldview that seeks to realize the idea of V.Vernadsky, which manifests itself in the context of a harmonious relationship of scientific knowledge, philosophy, and religion, which produce a variety of forms of dialogue between people of different cultural backgrounds, nationalities, religions, generations and gender. Conclusions. The new philosophy of development in the twenty-first century, aimed at forming a new society, a new consciousness, a new person should be directed to: a) the confrontation process of self-destruction of the human person and the destructive tendencies of the environment, and b) the creation of conditions for the harmonization of public self-regulatory systems: organization, person, environment, society, and c) the creation of conditions for the realization of the creative potential of every person (regardless of its level of consciousness) to identify the direction of development of the creative work, and d) the formation and implementation of creative management at all levels.

However, in this article was made investigation of Lucretia’s interpretation of the phenomenon of "simulacrum".
SPIRITUALITY AS PHILOSOPHICAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DE-VELOPMENT PROBLEM
Authors: V. E. Gromov
Published: May 2019

The purpose of the article is to regard the essence and phenomenon of spirituality in connection with ontological foundation of human being existence. The author suggests the concept of new cosmo-theocentric  paradigm of human world outlook, as a ground of perspective transformation of social life activity on the contrary to anthropocentric view, which dominates in present society consciousness. The author gives the characteristics of the ideal sage and underlines the importance of spiritual teachers in cultural development of society. Methodology. The method of philosophizing is connected with the unity of mind, sensuality, belief, will in integral body and mental organization of a man. Such point of view takes into consideration not only aspects of objective determination, but includes senses of existence and world outlook ideas in culture on particular and universal levels of social experience. The author considers a special ontological disposition of the human being in the world as a “transcendent project” with “metaphysic responsibility”. Scientific novelty. In the history of social culture the problem of its spiritual attitude towards reality is a basic problem, but now it becomes especially up-to-date and important. Now the survival of the civilization depends on the development of spirituality. From metaphysical point of view it means how spiritual the human being may be. The author connects the consideration of spirituality with particular human being ontological status in the world and provides his reflection with speculative character. Conclusions. The transition of modern civilized society to the cosmo-theocentric paradigm is prepared by contradictions of its technological and cultural development. In historical circumstances when the conscious influence of society on itself is growing, the realization of this process depends on spiritual trend of human beings cultural activity and mental quality of social leaders. Anthropocentrism as a world view principle is a main obstacle  on the way to spiritual transformation of consumer society. This principle made the human being the cult for itself and weakened its ability for will and belief. Democratic pluralism and diversity of cultural forms, reinforcement of analytic tendency in cognition are turned into the aspects of confusion in selection the trends of social development. Many philosophers of “postmodern situation” connect democracy and pluralism with fighting against totalitarian ideologies. However, we have no person without any ideology and undoubtedly it is possible to attain consonance in the sphere of main morality values.

Purpose. Increasing the maximum loading from the car axle on the rails during transportation of goods and the speed of movement of railway vehicles will enhance the integration processes between the countries. In order to ensure safe and reliable traffic at the railways it is necessary to improve control, quantitative evaluation of the dynamic loading of the rolling stock, which in the process of its operation is a relevant scientific and technical problem. The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the axle loading increase in gondola cars, taking into account the possible speed increase on their main dynamic indicators and indicators of interaction of rolling stock and track. Methodology. The study was carried out by the method of mathematical and computer simulation of the dynamic loading of a gondola car using the model of spatial oscillations of the coupling of five cars and the software complex developed in the branch research laboratory of the dynamics and strength of rolling stock (BRL DSRS). The initial data for research are as follows: the movement of gondola car of the model 12-532 with typical bogies of 18-100 at the speeds ranging from 50 to 90 km/h in curves with radii of 350 and 600 m, with superelevation of 130 and 120 mm, respectively. Findings. The article analyzes the dynamic qualities of a rolling stock using the example of gondola cars, the calculations are performed using the package of applied programs with sufficient accuracy for practice. During the theoretical studies and simulation, taking into account the processes of freight car oscillation in case of increasing the axle loading, the dependences of the main dynamic parameters, taking into account the movement speed were obtained. Originality. Originality of the work results lies in the study of the influence of increasing the axle loading in gondola cars, taking into account the possible movement speed increase on the dynamic loading in order to solve the problem of forecasting the rolling stock dynamics. The results of theoretical studies, taking into account the movement speed in the curved track sections of small and medium radius were obtained for the first time. Practical value. The application of these results will contribute to improving the traffic safety of freight cars and will improve the technical and economic performance of railway transport.

Purpose. The possibilities of railway transport for organizing transportation between the countries of the European Union and Ukraine are not fully utilized, since there are a number of technical differences in transport systems, namely: wheel gauge, characteristics of rolling stock, voltage in the contact network, dimensions, etc. One of the options in the organization of goods transportation in international traffic is the use of 1.435/1.520 mm dual gauge. The purpose of this study is to analyze the features of the stress-strain state of the combined construction of the track, first of all the changes in the operation of the under-sleeper base due to the use of a special design of reinforced concrete sleepers with simultaneous fastening of four rails. Methodology. To determine the stresses in the under-sleeper base, a spatial model of dynamic deformations of the railway track was chosen based on the elasticity theory. The movement on a railway track of a conventional construction (with sleepers Ш-1-1), accepted as a reference one, and along the track for combined movement, which differs from a standard using sleepers of type Ш2С-1, was considered. The main results of the calculations were the matrix of stresses in the under-sleeper base. Findings. The analysis of the results of the stresses simulation in the under-sleeper base of the dual gauge did not show their increase in absolute values, but revealed cyclical changes in the possible directions in deviation of ballast particles if there is a propensity for the occurrence of inelastic deformations in the ballast layer. Such a stress-strain state of the under-sleeper base, in turn, can lead to the appearance of deformations in the sleepers and the deterioration of the overall track geometry. Originality. The tasks of simulation got the further development of the track and rolling stock interaction, in particular to determine the stress-strain state of the under-sleeper base of the dual gauge. Practical value. The obtained results can be used to determine the timing of repair work on the sections with a combined track construction, justify the necessary degree of ballast consolidation, the feasibility of using the geogrids or special bonding materials.

The authors have analyzed crimes connected with the use of virtual currency in the regional and international aspects. They introduce a new category of «cryptocrime» understood as the aggregate of publically dangerous acts, united by their common systemic characteristics, committed against or using the products of distributed registries (cryptocurrency, tokens and other forms of digital financial assets). They analyze each of the cryptocrime segments separately: illegal trade in psychoactive substances (narcotics, psychoactive substances, precursors), pornography and other prohibited content (including illegal services); laundering of criminal proceeds; theft of cryptocurrency and tokens. Using the scientific research methods (comparative, sociological, statistical analysis and extrapolation of data, building a trend line, etc.) the authors identify regularities in the dynamics of each type of cryptocrime as well as key factors facilitating them. The goal of the authors is to conduct a systemic examination of crimes committed against and using cryptocurrency and to determine the prospects of developing different segments of cryptocrime. To achieve this goal, they analyze qualitative and quantitative characteristics of illegal trade in narcotics and pornography, legalization of criminal proceeds and theft of digital assets. They name the anonymity of cryptocurrency as a factor facilitating illegal trade in drugs, while the growing scope of the legalization of criminal proceeds and theft is facilitated by the fact that cryptocurrency and tokens do not have a legal status as objects of civil law and objects of encroachments on property. The analysis allows the authors to conclude that without effective criminological measures the level of such crimes will continue to grow and may double by the end of 2019. According to the authors, the priority directions of international criminal policy in the sphere of cryptocrime prevention include determining cryptocurrencies’ legal status, licensing cryptocurrency trade (stock exchange services, exchange platforms, companies issuing tokens), setting international standards of counteracting the legalization of criminal proceeds and the financing of terrorism, creating a cryptocrime database.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between the alteration of coronoid process format and partial or complete tooth loss in dry mandibles of adult human, considering the gender. Methods: On this study, there were analyzed 198 dry mandibles of adult human, of both genders, divided into three groups. The first group was constituted by mandibles with the presence of all teeth (68 mandibles); the second, with some dental teeth (79 mandibles) and the third, edentulous mandibles (50 mandibles). The analysis of coronoid process format was performed by visual observation and registered on standard records. Results: It was found that the absence of teeth, even on male or female mandibles, caused alterations on coronoid process that was modified from rounded on mandibles with presence of all teeth, to the scythe on edentulous mandibles. On the partial edentulous mandibles, the rounded format was the most frequent on men and the scythe format on the female gender. Conclusion: The absence of tooth, even partial or total, contributed to the modification of  coronoid process format. Even that, the differences between the genders was no statistically significant.

Partial removable dentures (PRD) are frequently requested to replace lost teeth and associated structures. A correct evaluation, diagnosis and a detailed planning must be done before the prosthesis fabrication. In some cases, the negligence of the dentist leads to a high failure index, because the planning is transmitted to the dental technician. Purpose: To compare the treatment planning for Kennedy Class I RPD made by ten dental laboratories from Salvador. Método: Three types of cast Kennedy Class I RPD were performed and sent to dental laboratories for the planning of a PRD. Then, planned casts were examined following established criteria. Resultados: The location and borders of the base were well done, but indication of the clasp and kind of base were not. The pararelometer was not used by any technician. Conclusão: Technicians are not able to indicate pillars and plan location and indication of RPD clasps.

Purpose.The purpose of this study was to check dentists´opinions about reasons of wear and the criteria used for disposal of diamond burs. Methods.114 dentists answered a self-explanatory questionnaire,whichwas subsequently submitted to a descriptive analysis of results. Results.According to the data gathered, it was noted that most of participants considers that amalgam and enamel are the primary cause of diamond burs’wear (60% and 29%, respectively). Furthermore, most individuals have indicated that sterilization processes accelerated the aging(78%). The primary causes of diamond burs disposal: darkening (79%),increase in timeand strength necessary to wear structures (79%),decrease in the concentration of diamonds on the tip of the bur (78%), and presence of residues (49%).Conclusion.Moreknowledgein sterilization processes and quantity of diamond points uses is need due to its prevalence in clinical practice.
