Authors: Singh Raj Deo , Kumar Vipin
Published: May 2022

Domestic abuse is a serious problem for married women in India (IPV). It is vital that women take use of accessible healthcare services if we want to lower the maternal death rate. Indian women's physical encounter with rape is examined in eight Empowered Action Group (EAG) states. For women living in EAG states, the rate of physical IPV is expected to be greater than in non-EAG states. The 2005-2006 India National Family Health Survey includes 65,587 women (NFHS-3). According to a logistic model, living in an EAG state lowers your risk of experiencing physical IPV in the last year. This is not what we expected. The best way to deal with domestic abuse is still up for debate among medical professionals. This article describes a review of qualitative research that aims to address the following two questions: How do women who have experienced domestic violence rate the treatment they get from medical professionals? Second, what do women who have been abused by their spouses seek from their healthcare providers in response to their disclosures?

Nano sulfated zirconia over silica for highly effective nano sulfated zirconia
Authors: Rajwanti  , Tyagi Divya
Published: May 2022

Sulfated zirconia over silica core (NSZS) was synthesised using an ultrasonic-irradiated sol-gel media in which zirconia nanoparticles were distributed on a silica core created by applying ultrasonic irradiation to the sol-gel medium. In order to produce a highly effective catalyst, it is important to have a high surface-to-volume ratio, which the synthesised core-shell catalytic system fully meets. An ultrasonic titanium horn in a sonochemical glass reactor was used for the synthesis. The generated catalyst's crystalline size was 8 nm using this procedure. XRD, N2 Physiosorption, TG-DTA, FTIR, and SEM were used to analyse the produced catalysts. Isobutane alkylation with butene-1 catalysed at 98 percent efficiency by the catalyst after 26 hours of speed of a person's response. A 94 percent activity level was achieved after four and two rounds of regeneration, respectively. Nanoparticles that are not agglomerated may be formed by ultrasonic irradiation, as shown by the NSZS's properties.
Alcohol induced dose dumping in modified release formulations in vivo and in vitro studies: Comprehensive review
Authors: Rajan Jasu , Rajan Vasu , Kaur Bhupinder
Published: May 2022

Various case studies based on alcohol-induced dose dumping in modified release dosage forms both in vivo and in vitro have been studied in this review, as well as a study of numerous factors impacting it, polymers that can be used to prevent it, and a perspective of regulatory authorities. The drug from various modified release dosage forms is released in such a way that the release of the drug is tailored or delayed especially for drugs that are having a therapeutic index in a very narrow range or are opioids. These types of drugs possess a very high risk of dose dumping if co-administered with alcohol. Since the problem of alcohol-induced dose dumping (AIDD) has been caught by the regulatory agencies some of the formulations come with black box warnings and some are even withdrawn from the market. It’s been set as a benchmark by the regulatory agencies that if the formulation withstands 0-40% alcoholic condition under in-vitro release tests then the modified release formulations can be classified rugged against the dose duping.

To compare surface roughness of glazed versus polished lithium disilicate crowns as well as wear of enamel antagonists. Methodology: Twenty-two full coverage crowns were fabricated for posterior teeth. Scaling and polishing was performed for all the patients one week prior to preparation. The patients were divided into two groups according to crown finishing. Group 1(control group) fabricated from IPS e.max glazed crowns and Group 2 (intervention group) fabricated from IPS e.max polished crowns. The preparation was standardized with supra-gingival, chamfer finish line for all teeth. Fabrication of the crowns was done using lost wax press technique. The restorations were glazed with e.max ceram glazing liquid; an even layer was applied on the entire surface of the crown using a brush. Polishing was performed using EVE abrasive rubbers. Polishing of each crown was performed with rubbers of three different grains, beginning with the most abrasive one (light crimson) for shaping, then an intermediate one (crimson) for pre polishing, and the last, a less abrasive one (yellow)for high shine polishing. Self-adhesive cement was used for both groups. Roughness of crowns as well as opposing teeth wear were measured using non contact 3D profilometer, patient satisfaction was evaluated in the form of questionnaire.

Authors: Gowda Javare , Naik L. , Gunaga Rajesh , Vasudeva R.
Published: May 2022

Fifty-seven clones of Teak representing nine provenances of Karnataka were field evaluated for their natural resistance against Hyblaea puera in a twenty-three-year-old clonal seed orchard of Teak of South India. Results, based on average leaf-damage intensity over two years of observations, revealed that six Teak clones viz., MyMK-3 from Southern provenance, MyKN-1, MyKN-46 from Central provenance, STG-3, STG-06 of state graft series as well as Teli Teak of Dandeli were found to be resistant and other 23 clones were moderately resistant to Teak defoliator. The clone MyHuT-3 of Southern provenance was most susceptible and the remaining 27 clones were susceptible to H. puera. These findings suggest the existence of quantitative resistance among Teak clones against H. puera, and suggest the possibility of using resistant clones in the integrated pest management. This is perhaps the first report wherein a large number of Teak clones of Karnataka have been field evaluated for the resistance against H. puera.

A 450 éve elhunyt Szegedi Kis István emlékezete (1505–1572)
Authors: Antal Miskei
Published: May 2022

Szegedi Kis István a helvét irányú teológia tanainak első magyarországi rendszerezője. A wittenbergi egyetemen folytatott tanulmányai után hazatért Magyarországra, ahol előbb oktatott és iskolát vezetett, majd 1554-től Laskón, 1558-tól pedig Kálmáncsán vállalt lelkészi állást. 1561 és 1563 között török fogságot szenvedett. Élete utolsó évtizedét – az oszmánok akaratának megfelelően – Ráckevén töltötte, ahol prédikátorként és az alsó-dunamelléki egyházkerület szuperintendenseként tevékenykedett. Kezdetben a wittenbergi irányzat híve volt, de az 1550-es évek második felében már szinte bizonyosan a helvét hitvallást követte. Latin nyelvű teológiai munkái halála után külföldön jelentek meg, így Európa-szerte ismert személlyé vált. Zsoltárfordításainak és magyar nyelvű verseinek egy része szintén fennmaradt. Életrajzát tanítványa, Skarica Máté írta meg latin nyelven, aki egyben megrajzolta mestere arcképét is.

Species composition and specific aspects of the Green Tree Retention structure in unmanaged mixed forests in Asturias (northern Spain)
Authors: Gorgoso-Varela J. Javier
Published: May 2022

Aims of the study: i) To characterize the species composition and stand variables in a Green Tree Retention (GTR) structure obtained as result of applying an uneven aged silviculture system based on the BDq method; ii) to conduct a biometric study of these components of the GTR. Area of study: Asturias (northern Spain). Material and methods: The GTR system included three groups of trees: non-commercial species, trees destined for production of edible fruits (Castanea sativa) and veteran trees (with DBH>52.5 cm, established by the BDq method) in 6 strata of the fourth Spanish National Forest Inventory (SNFI4). The method was applied to trees up to DBH at which are then classified as veteran. The other groups are excluded from management. A biometric study of these components was conducted by analysis of the extreme value distributions of maximum and minimum diameters by fitting the Gumbel Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). The goodness of fit was evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic (Dn), the Cramér von Mises criterion (W2), the bias and the mean squared error (MSE). Main results: The Gumbel CDF generally produced good results, and the best fits were obtained for maximum diameters. The Dn values were generally low or normal. The values of W2 and the MSE are consistent with the Dn. As the mean value of the biases is always positive, the Gumbel CDF tends to underestimate the real distributions. Research highlights: The values obtained for the parameters can help in determining several aspects of the structure of the GTR and thus help in forest management decision-making.
The effect of flowering stage on distribution modelling performance: A case study of Acacia dealbata using maximum entropy modelling and RPA images
Authors: Vazquez de la Cueva Antonio , Montes Pita Fernando , Aulló-Maestro Isabel
Published: May 2022

Aim of study: To classify and validate the coverage of Acacia dealbata by stratifying its area into three different flowering stages using remotely piloted aircraft (RPA)-derived image orthomosaics.
Area of study: We selected three sites in the west of Ourense province (Galicia, Spain). This area is the eastern cluster of A. dealbata populations in Galicia.
Material and methods: We used a multirotor RPA equipped with an RGB and a multispectral camera. The flights were carried out on 10th and 11th March 2020. We performed a visual interpretation of the RGB orthomosaics to identify the patches of A. dealbata in three different flowering stages. We then used a maximum entropy (MaxEnt) programme to estimate the probability of A. dealbata presence in each study site at each of the three flowering stages.
Main results: The performance of the MaxEnt models for the three flowering stages in each of the three study sites were acceptable in terms of ROC area under the curve (AUC) analyses the values of which ranged from 0.74 to 0.91, although in most cases was greater than 0.80, this being an improvement on the classification without stratification (AUC from 0.73 to 0.86).
Research highlights: Our approach has proven to be a valid procedure to identify patterns of species distributions at local scale. In general, the performance of the models improves when stratification into flowering stages is considered. Overall accuracy of the presence prediction maps ranged from 0.76 to 0.91, highlighting the suitability of this approach for monitoring the expansion of A. dealbata.
A new way to govern for eternity based on systems science
Authors: Turnbull Shann
Published: May 2022

This article is motivated by the CEO of the largest investor in the world wanting in 2018 “A new model for corporate governance” and that “companies must benefit all their stakeholders”. Firms that benefit all their stakeholders become what Ostrom described in her 2009 Nobel Prize speech as a “Common Pool Resource”. Ostrom identified how “polycentric governance” allowed competing interests, without markets or State, to self-govern life-sustaining resources without denying them for everyone. Key contributions of the article are to identify how: (a) To apply system science to extend and enhance the Ostrom self-governing design insights to corporate entities, (b) Polycentric governance releases and exploits the ability of individuals to possess contrary behaviour to self-regulation, improve risk management, adaption and innovation while enriching democracy denied in societies governed by hierarchies and markets, and (c) A self-funding tax incentive for shareholders to adopt polycentric governance that endows stakeholders with equity to privatise welfare with a universal taxable wellbeing income that funds the tax incentive. This promotes population reduction, less economic inequality and local ownership and control to counter environmental degradations and build sustainable circular bioregional economies for eternity. Polycentric governance is illustrated in sporting and civic organisations with business examples proving its competitiveness and resiliency. The size and costs of governments are reduced to further enrich democracy. Shareholder/stakeholder primacy is maintained for citizens electing politicians who introduce eternal universal benefits for humanity.

High unemployment particularly among youth is a serious burden for economy. There are many causes behind the high unemployment in the Escwa region, which differ from one country to another. Governments policies aim to solve this problem by creating new jobs symmetric with the sustainability of economic growth. These policies usually aim to increase growth rates and not to reduce unemployment. Inflation is another factor that has influence on unemployment rate, therefore economic growth and inflation are two factors that have impact on unemployment. Youth are the most affected group due to many reasons, the most important is the employment production act applied by within countries. For this purpose, this study investigates the influence of economic growth and inflation on youth unemployment in 16 countries belonging to the ESCWA region for the period 1991-2017. Pedroni Residual Cointegration Test statistic showed that there was no relationship between young unemployment, inflation and economic growth in ESWA’S economies. So, it can be clearly said that the series were not moving together for the long-term period. Furthermore, in this context, the results of Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel Granger causality test indicated that there is no causality relationship between youth unemployment and economic growth as well between inflation and economic growth. While a unidirectional causality moved from inflation to youth unemployment to inflation.

Published: May 2022

During endodontic treatment, the efficiency of irrigation depends on two criteria: the antimicrobial and dissolving properties of the irrigation solution and the delivery system used that dictates the flushing action of the irrigant and consequently enable it to reach complex areas. The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the cleaning efficiency of EDDY sonic activation with needle irrigation and passive ultrasonic activation regarding elimination of dentin debris. Forty single rooted extracted teeth were instrumented and then were split in bucco-lingual direction. A longitudinal groove was performed in the inner surface of one root half of each tooth. Grooves were filled with dentine debris mixed with 5.25 % NaOCl in order to simulate an uninstrumented canal extension. Root halves were reassembled and were randomly divided into three groups: G1 needle irrigation, G2 passive ultrasonic activation (Acteon Satelec, Merignac, France) and G3 sonic activation using EDDY system (VDW, Munich, Germany). Ten roots served as control. After irrigation protocols, root halves were disassembled and digital images of grooves were taken using a stereomicroscope (Olympus, Japan). Evaluation of the amount of the remaining dentin debris was performed using a scoring system. No statistically significant difference existed between negative control and passive ultrasonic activation and EDDY activation respectively. Both activation techniques performed equally in removing dentine debris and significantly better than needle irrigation. No significant difference was found between needle irrigation and positive control.
