Authors: Topbaş Celalettin , Atav Ayfer
Published: January 2025

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the structures, roots and canal numbers of mandibular anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methodology: The study evaluated 4830 fully-developed mandibular anterior teeth from 953 CBCT scans. The final sample consisted of 515 scans of females and 438 scans from males, with ages ranging from 17 to 69 years. Among the assessed teeth, 2475 were located on the right side and 2355 on the left, including 2614 from females and 2216 from men. The teeth were free of any fillings, resorption, or cracks in the root or crown. The study analyzed the numbers of roots and root canals, location of the apical foramen, and canal type according to Vertucci’s classification.
Results: 82.7% of teeth had single-root canals, whereas four lateral teeth (0.2%) and 42 lower canines (2.4%) had two-roots. The apical foramen was located centrally in 80.9% of the teeth (n = 3909), followed by buccal (8.8%), distal (4.2%), lingual (3.4%), and mesial (2.7%) positions. Using Vertucci’s classification of root canal types, type-I was the most prevalent (65.3%), followed in order by types-III (28.6%), II (4.2%), V (1.5%), and VI (0.4%).
Conclusion: Turkish mandibular anterior teeth have intricate anatomy. To enhance comprehension of the complex anatomy of Turkish mandibular incisors and canines, including the numbers of canals and roots and canal configurations, further studies of more patients from diverse regions of Türkiye are needed. The tooth configuration was influenced by gender rather than by tooth position.

Published: January 2025

Aim: This study was conducted to compare vitamin D levels in primary infertile patients with vitamin D levels in fertile women.
Methodology: This study was composed of 75 unexplained primary infertile and 75 fertile patients who applied to the hospital between 1 June 2022 and 31 March 2023 at Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, prospectively. Two mL blood samples were taken from unexplained primary infertile women and fertile women aged 20–40 years.
Results: The mean vitamin D in the unexplained primary infertile group was 5.35 ± 1.81 ng/mL, while the mean vitamin D in fertile women was 12.6 ± 4.44 ng/mL. It was determined that there was a significant difference between vitamin D levels according to the study groups.
Conclusion: We think that vitamin D supplementation is important in infertile women because the levels of vitamin D in the unexplained primary infertile group were lower than those in the fertile group. There is a need for more comprehensive multicenter studies showing the relationship between vitamin D levels and infertility related to the current study.

Topographic and morphometric feature of the anatomical structures located in the parapetrosal triangle borderlines
Authors: Tuncel Çini Nilgün , Doğru Yuvarlakbaş Semahat , Babacan Serdar
Published: January 2025

Aim
The parapetrosal triangle, which is one of the landmarks and regions determined to provide orientation to the skull base has the importance is that it can guide the topographic anatomy of the paraclival region from an exocranial perspective. The aim of the study was to determine the topographic anatomy of the parapetrosal region and to determine the relations between the distances between the foramina within the triangle.
Methodology
The study was carried out on a total of 17 bones belonging to 34 sides. Eighteen parameters were determined to be examined on digital images and all measurements were carried out by the same researcher for both sides. We compared the morphometric features of the right and left sides via Student's T test and Mann-Whitney U test. We evaluated the relationship between variables through Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses. We developed equations to estimate the morphometric features located in the parapetrosal triangle using the bispinal line.
Results
It was observed that there was no difference between the sides for any variable. We found the distance between the HS and midline 5.37±0.68 cm for the right side and 5.39±0.60 cm for the left side. We found the bispinal distance value obtained by adding the right and left midline distances, and this was determined to be 10.76±1.22 cm on average. We found the spinopterygoidal line distance 6.70±0.81 cm and 6.75±0.86 cm for the right and left sides respectively. We developed equations to estimate the location of the some anatomical structures using Henle’s spine. The equation was; the distance between the HS and midline = 0.005 + (0.005 x length of the bispinal line); Adjusted R value was 0.899.
Conclusion
As a result of the high-reliability models that we created by taking the parapetrosal triangle as a reference, we showed that Henle's spine is a reliable reference point by the literature with a different method. We believe that the study will be an important guide for surgeons.

Published: January 2025

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common issue affecting women. The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques has introduced a new era in POP treatment, with laparoscopic methods gaining popularity.
This abstract highlights the simplified technique as an efficient alternative. BalsAksin technique aims to treat POP with a minimally invasive approach, eliminating the need for laparoscopic suturing. It provides a faster and more effective surgical option.
In this technique, vaginally, the vesicouterine gap was opened. The mesh was fixed to the serviko-isthmik area vaginally, and the mesh arms were sent into the abdomen, and then the mesh arms were removed laparoscopically by pulling the bilateral trocar ports. The uterine position is adjusted vaginally
In summary, the BalsAksin technique offers a simplified alternative to laparoscopic suturing in pelvic organ prolapse surgery. Its ability to eliminate the need for laparoscopic suturing while reducing operation times makes it an appealing option for surgeons, ultimately improving patient care and surgical outcomes.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise referente à formação de professores e à interculturalidade, em particular no que se refere ao reconhecimento da diversidade étnico-racial, com a intenção de desenvolver uma prática pedagógica que seja, simultaneamente, emancipatória e inclusiva. É crucial destacar que o racismo traz consigo consequências opressivas, como a intolerância religiosa, com especial ênfase nas religiões de matriz africana. Diante dessa problemática, são formuladas as seguintes questões: como se estabelece a relação entre interculturalidade e a formação de professores? De que forma é viável direcionar a prática pedagógica para uma educação intercultural, levando em consideração a intolerância religiosa? Com base nas investigações de Candau, Campos e Rubert, Nóvoa, Munanga, Purificação, Rodrigues e Vasconcelos, este estudo visa estabelecer conexões entre a formação de professores, as relações étnico-raciais, a educação intercultural e o ensino religioso, especialmente no combate à intolerância religiosa. Acredita-se que este debate possa contribuir para a ampliação das discussões sobre esses temas, com o intuito de enfrentar as desigualdades raciais e promover o avanço em direção a uma sociedade justa e inclusiva.

Authors: Rismayanti Nurul , Titaley Gilberth Valentino , Handayani Anik Nur
Published: January 2025

Depression is one of the mental disorders with a significant impact on individuals' quality of life and productivity. The diagnostic process for depression, which typically relies on subjective assessment, often encounters challenges of uncertainty and variability in symptoms. This study aims to develop a fuzzy model for predicting depression levels based on five primary symptom variables: worthlessness, concentration, suicidal ideation, sleep disturbance, and hopelessness. The model is implemented on two platforms, Python and LabVIEW, to evaluate the accuracy and consistency of prediction results between these platforms. The analysis process begins with data preprocessing, input variable fuzzification, inference using 243 fuzzy rules, and defuzzification to generate a crisp output value classified into four depression levels: No Depression, Mild, Moderate, and Severe. The study results indicate a very small error margin between the two platforms, with error values below 0.01 in each trial. These findings suggest that both Python and LabVIEW can produce nearly identical and consistent predictions. This conclusion supports the effectiveness of fuzzy logic in addressing uncertainty in clinical data, especially for cases of depression with varying symptoms. Nonetheless, there are limitations related to the subjectivity in selecting membership functions and rules, as well as limitations in the number of variables used. Therefore, this study recommends expanding the developed fuzzy model with additional variables or integrating it with machine learning approaches to improve prediction accuracy. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for the development of fuzzy-based systems in future mental health diagnostics.

Authors: Anggreani Desi , Hamdani  , Nurmisba
Published: January 2025

Diabetes is a global health issue that continues to rise, especially in Indonesia, caused by unhealthy lifestyles, poor diets, and genetic factors. Early detection of diabetes risk is crucial to prevent serious complications, and machine learning offers innovative predictive solutions. This research focuses on the development of a diabetes risk prediction model using the Decision Tree algorithm with hyperparameter optimization through the Grid Search technique. The research methodology includes the collection of patient medical data with key attributes such as glucose levels, blood pressure, skin health, insulin, body mass index (BMI), diabetes pedigree, age, and health history. The hyperparameter tuning process is carried out by varying key parameters such as the maximum tree depth (max_depth), the minimum number of samples required to split a node (min_samples_split), and the minimum number of samples required at a leaf node (min_samples_leaf). Grid Search is used to systematically explore hyperparameter combinations in order to find the optimal configuration that can improve the model's performance. The research process includes data preprocessing, splitting the dataset into training and testing sets, model training, and evaluation using accuracy metrics, confusion matrix, and ROC AUC curve. The initial results show a model accuracy of 76%, which was then improved to 81% after hyperparameter optimization using Grid Search. The visualization of the decision tree reveals that glucose levels and BMI have the most significant contributions in predicting diabetes risk. This research demonstrates the potential of machine learning in supporting the early detection of diabetes, with the Decision Tree algorithm showing promising predictive capabilities. Nevertheless, further research with larger datasets and the integration of other algorithms is highly recommended to improve the accuracy and generalization of the model. The main contribution of this research is the development of a machine learning-based approach that can assist medical personnel in screening for diabetes risk more efficiently and accurately.

Published: January 2025

Air pollution poses a significant global challenge, adversely impacting public health and environmental sustainability. Understanding the factors influencing air quality is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies. This study aims to analyse key environmental and demographic factors, such as PM2.5 concentration, population density, and proximity to industrial areas, to predict air quality levels using a Decision Tree model. The dataset, comprising 5000 samples, was pre-processed by encoding the target variable and applying Z-score normalization to numerical features. The model was trained on 80% of the data and evaluated on the remaining 20%, achieving an accuracy of 93%. Evaluation metrics, including a classification report and confusion matrix, demonstrated the model's effectiveness in distinguishing between four air quality categories: Good, Moderate, Poor, and Hazardous. PM2.5 emerged as the most critical predictor, followed by demographic and industrial factors. These findings underscore the potential of machine learning models in providing actionable insights for air quality management. The results contribute to public policy by highlighting the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas and the importance of incorporating environmental data into urban planning. Future work should focus on expanding the feature set and exploring ensemble techniques to further enhance predictive accuracy and robustness.

Authors: Anwer Aml
Published: January 2025

In this digital age, cybersecurity has become imperative to protect political stability and public trust. The paper examines weaponized information as a strategy in modern political warfare, where cyber tactics like disinformation campaigns, social media manipulations, and data breaches shape public opinion over destabilizing political entities. This paper highlights the undue influence wielded by information weaponization in national security, public perception, and global diplomacy through such incidents as the U.S. 2016 election interference, Brexit referendum, and humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. In response, the development of cybersecurity policies, public media literacy, and use of AI in countering digital threats are underway by respective governments and organizations. However, the rapidly evolving nature of cyber tactics presents continuous ethical and strategic challenges that demonstrate the need for international cooperation on responsible AI use. This paper argues for the need for taking a comprehensive, proactive approach in cyber-political warfare, including policy, education, and technology, in order to protect the integrity of democratic systems around the world.

Authors: P. Kwachuh Tekang
Published: January 2025

In an era of unprecedented display of diplomatic force and geopolitical novelty, Iran’s recent diplomatic voyage to Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe indicates a decade of Tehran’s inaction on the diplomatic front with the continent. Relations between Iran and African states have a strong footing from the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM) in addition to the fact that they all are members of the UN and other international institutions. Iran, rich in oil wealth and seeking to peacefully use its nuclear program, has been under sanctions from the West for a long time now. This paper examines the diplomatic affirmation and renewal of Iran’s government engagement in Africa from an economic perspective, dwelling on three key questions. What are the key historical contexts in Iran-Africa ties? what factors are responsible for the recent driving force behind Iran’s renewed entente with the continent? And what are the economic effects on Africa? The overall goal of the article is to analyze the economic dimensions responsible for Iran’s engagement with Africa. The article revealed that Tehran’s recent engagement with the continent is because of Western economic sanctions and the need for Tehran to propel its economy by engaging economically with the continent despite Western states courting Africa.
