PREVALENCE AND LOCALIZATION OF IMPACTED CANINE TEETH USING PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPH IN A SAMPLE OF YEMENI ADULTS IN SANA'A, YEMEN
Authors: Alhadi Yahya Abdullah Ahmed , Alrahabi Lutf Mohammed , Shaalan Mohammed Ali , Al-Shamahy Hassan Abdulwahab
Published: July 2023

Background and aims:  A tooth that fails to erupt into the dental arch during the anticipated growth window is said to be impacted. Clinical issues with impacted maxillary and mandibular canines are common. Most doctors concur that permanent teeth are significant from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint and should be kept as much as feasible. The legitimacy of justifying the work of this research can be proven by the fact that previous researches in Yemen were on a small sample of population. There was also inconsistency in the results in terms of prevalence rate as well as pattern of canine impaction. Therefore, providing a detailed outline of the context or situation again will lead to solving the puzzle or determining the correct position. The aim of this study was to determine the crude prevalence and pattern of impacted canines for 5 years in a sample of the Yemeni population in the city of Sana'a.
Methods: This cross-sectional study consisted of Yemeni patients who do panoramic x-ray at dental radiographic centers in Sana'a city, Yemen. The panoramic radiographs and dental records of the patients were retrospectively examined.
Results: The total prevalence of impacted canine for the 5 following years was 5.23%. The prevalence of an impacted canine was higher in the maxillary arch (93.9%) than in the lower arch (6.1%), higher in females (53.2%) than in men (46.8%), and 52.4% more common in the right canine than in the left (47.6%). 
Conclusion: There was a slight increase in the prevalence of impacted canines in Yemeni patients. Females showed higher impacted teeth than males. Early diagnosis of impacted teeth can aid in maintaining healthy teeth and preventing malocclusions. Information about the prevalence of canine impaction in the Yemeni community is provided by the current study.

ANALYSIS OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM ON THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL LABORATORY BUILDING OF AR-RANIRY STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY BANDA ACEH INDONESIA
Authors: Dedy Ruzwardy  , Harahap Juliansyah , Pradana Syahran Habiyuda
Published: July 2023

Fire can occur if three main elements are met, namely heat, oxygen, and fuel or it is called the fire triangle. Risks arising from fire incidents can be minimized by a fire protection system and the reliability of building safety systems. To ensure that the two systems run optimally, an evaluation and examination are needed on the existing conditions based on the applicable safety technical standards. This study aims to determine the existing condition of the applied fire protection system and to determine the reliability of the building safety system in the Ar-Raniry Multifunctional Laboratory Building. This research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive method. Research data collection was carried out using observation and interview methods. The observation method for existing conditions was carried out using a checklist compiled based on the Indonesian Minister Public Works’ Regulation Number 26/PRT/M/2008 of 2008 for fire protection systems and fire protection code from the National Standardization Agency of Indonesia Number Pd-T-11-2005-C on the reliability of building safety systems. The results show that the fire protection system in the UIN Ar-Raniry Multifunction Laboratory building was in the Enough category, with a value of 3.25. This is due to the absence of several active fire protection instruments such as fire extinguishers, sprinklers, and hydrants. Addionally,  from the results of the reliability of the building safety system for the UIN Ar-Raniry Multifunction Laboratory building, it is in the Enough category with a value of 63.02. This is caused by the absence of emergency lighting and water sources as a source of hydrant water.

Published: July 2023

D.I. Reje Guru is an open system irrigation network located in Bukit District, Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh Province. Various problems were identified such as cracked lining and wild vegetation around the network. These issues have impact on water losses along the channels’ conveyances  through evaporation, seepage, operational factors and leakage. The input – output discharge measurement is used to determine the water loss and the value of the efficiency of water distribution in the Irrigation network. In addition, the evaporation and seepage loss are also calculated to find out the percentage of the loss from these two factors. The results shown that the maximum and minimum loss is from BS3RG and BS4RG which are 0,027 m3/sec and 0,004 m3/sec, respectively. The values are correlated to the efficiency values which are the highest 84,23% from BS4RG and 36,908% from BS3RG. It is confirmed that the two factors of evaporation and seepage are not the significant factor to the conveyance water loss.

Published: July 2023

Modular CO2 capture plants can help reducing the cost of deploying
capture systems across the globe. However, the CO2 variability and model
uncertainty represent operational challenges to capture CO2 from
different sources. This work proposes a framework for analyzing the
optimal plant design considering different flue gas sources. We show a
methodology to generate large data sets from optimization runs using
rigorous models in Aspen Plus®. The efficiency of the approach allows
its application to large-scale optimization problems (<45,000
variables and equations), with an average CPU time per run of 176 s. We
also build surrogate models (SMs) for the capital and operating costs of
the capture plants, considering the uncertainty of parameters. We
propose an iterative procedure to generate SMs using ALAMO, rejecting
SMs with high uncertainty in the estimated parameters. In this way, we
obtain SMs with suitable bias-variance tradeoffs, allowing their
application to optimization problems under uncertainty.
Model-based design of stratified packings for enhanced mass transfer using optimal control theory
Authors: Eppink Alexander , Kuhn Michael , Briesen Heiko
Published: July 2023

Various examples show that stratified columns can improve the transport
performance of particle packings. However, to date, there is no
universal approach to design these packings to yield optimal
performance. This study proposes a novel model-based method for
designing particle packings in which mass transfer occurs between a
liquid phase and a stationary phase using optimal control theory. The
primary objective is to provide a general design strategy that is
applicable across different unit operations in chemical, pharmaceutical,
and food applications. Optimal control is utilized to determine the
optimal particle diameter as a function of the axial position within the
column. We demonstrate the approach using two case studies and three
different optimization criteria. Numerical results indicate that the
proposed method is highly effective, e.g., the solvent demand is reduced
by up to 32.47 %. Moreover, the optimally graded packing yields a
significantly sharper breakthrough curve of an adsorption column.
Enhancing aromatics extraction by double salt ionic liquids: rational screening-validation and mechanistic insights
Authors: Xie Kunchi , Chen Jiahui , Wang Ruizhuan , Cheng Jie , Cheng Hongye , Qi Zhiwen , Zhu Kake , Song Zhen
Published: July 2023

Despite offering remarkable advantages as solvents, double salt ionic
liquids (DSILs) have been scarcely studied for extractive
dearomatization from hydrocarbons as well as many other applications,
thus urging a theoretical guidance method. In this work, a systematic
framework combining the rational screening-validation and mechanistic
analysis is proposed for tailoring DSILs for the o-xylene/n-octane
separation. From an initial pool of commercially available ionic liquids
(ILs), key thermodynamic properties of paired DSILs are predicted by
COSMO-RS while their important physical properties are estimated from
those of corresponding parent ILs (retrieved from experimental database
or predicted by a deep learning model). Promising DSILs are tested by
liquid-liquid equilibrium experiments, wherein the ion ratio-effect is
also evaluated. The mechanism underlying the tunability of DSIL
thermodynamic properties is disclosed by means of quantum chemistry
calculation and molecular dynamics simulation. This work can be a
valuable reference for guiding the design of DSILs for diverse
applications.
Rendezvous control for a double-integrator multi-particle system on Lorentz group SO (1,1)
Authors: Li Xiaoyu , Ru Lining , Wu Yuhu
Published: July 2023

multi-particle system under a proximity-based communication topology on
the Lorentz group SO(1,1). With the help of the Riemannian
manifold structure on the Lorentz group SO(1,1), we design a
rendezvous controller for particles by using the covariant derivative,
parallel transport, and Riemannian logarithm map on SO(1,1). We
further show that the proposed controller can guarantee that the
distance between each particle converges to zero and maintain the
connectivity of the communication topology if the initial network is
connected. Several numerical simulations are provided to verify and
illustrate the theoretical results.

The communities which include Igu, Gyeyidna, Kuchiko, Piawe, Dutse, Jikoko, Shere, Piko, Ushafa and Jigo, were selected as non-contiguous pair from five geographical wards (Igu, kuduru, Dutse, Shere and Ushafa) in the Area Council. They were purposively selected using the criteria of 500 metres and above elevation (upland condition) and agricultural preponderance. The soil samples were collected from farmland in each of the communities using systematic sampling techniques, which involved measuring out a 100 by 100 metres quadrat and dividing it into sixteen equal grid squares with a dimension of 25 by 25 metres. Soil samples were taken at the mid points of each grid square at a depth of 0 – 30cm. The sixteen soil samples for each quadrat were uniformly mixed into one bulk composite sample for each community. The soil results were compared with the standard land quality requirements for upland rice cultivation for Southern Guinea Savanna. To the first study objective, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) were assessed. Results show that there was no significant difference between the soil quality of the study area and standard soil quality requirements for the cultivation of upland rice. Based on these, it was concluded that the chemical soil properties of the sampled communities in Bwari Area Council will support the cultivation of upland rice, even though there are spatial variation in the soil chemical properties of the study area. Some strategic recommendation were made such as: the need to reduce the soil pH of the study area from its fairly alkaline state to moderately acidic level suitable for upland rice cultivation in Bwari Area Council.

Published: July 2023

The emergence of smart cards is a significant achievement in the field of information technology. They are growing in importance as they offer secure data storage and authentication, improve security, simplify processes, reduce costs, and have a variety of applications. In particu- lar, nowadays SIM cards play a vital role in the Telecom industry as an important type of smart card that allows a user to make calls, send messages, store details such as phone number and network authentication information, and provide various mobile data services. Currently, some leading companies take advantage of having their own smart card operating systems and have significant impact on the market on various issues (hardware on which the smart card operating system will run; security restrictions; control, permission and control of any application, etc.). It is important to work on creating a more flexible, adaptable and secure operating system infrastructure in order to overcome these limitations both in the customer perspective and in the ecosystem. The purpose of this research is to introduce the creation of a special Java Card operating system designed for SIM cards used in the Telecom indus- try. The study presents the software requirements and development steps of the proposed operating system and innovative architectural components necessary for its op- eration as a SIM card beyond being a Java Card operating system. The proposed new Java Card based SIM operating system is expected to pave the way for the development of eSIM operating system infrastructure as well as 5G tech- nology and offer valuable opportunities.
Forgotten Islands of the Past: The Archaeology of the Northern Coast of the Arabian Sea
Authors: Biagi Paolo
Published: July 2023

The Indus Delta plays an important role in the archaeology of the northern coast of the Arabian Sea. Little was known of this region until a few decades ago. The first surveys were carried out in the 1970s and were resumed by the present author in the 2010s. They have shown the great potential of the area for the interpretation of sea-level rise and its related human settlement between the beginning of the Holocene and the Hellenistic period. In this territory, several limestone terraces rise from the alluvial plain of the River Indus, which were islands in prehistoric and early historic times. Many archaeological artefacts, along with marine and mangrove shells, have been recovered from their surface and radiocarbon dated. These discoveries help us to follow the events that took place in the region in well-defined periods and interpret some aspects of the prehistoric coastal settlement in relation to the advance of the Indus Fan and the retreat of the Arabian Sea. The following questions are addressed in this paper: who settled these islands, when and why? During which prehistoric periods were mangrove and marine environments exploited? And what were the cultural characteristics of the communities that seasonally or permanently settled some of the present ‘rocky outcrops’?

Published: July 2023

Using the Beni Behdel dam and the El Mefrouch dam as example studies, this paper intends to clearly demonstrate how modeling of the interactions between rock foundations and dams impacts the modal behavior of these two multi-arch dams. The uniqueness of this study is that the modal behavior of each dam is represented in terms of related parameters (period, participation factor, ratio, and effective mass), and more precisely in terms of ratio (defined as the ratio between the participation factor of the mode i and the maximum participation factor), as opposed to other works that have expressed this behavior in terms of frequency. In this article, stiff rock foundation, massless rock foundation, and massed rock foundation are the three methods used to simulate dynamic interactions. The investigated dams are three-dimensionally simulated using the ANSYS finite elements code. The modeling of the rock foundation–dam interaction has an effect on the fundamental mode value, its location, and the related parameters, according to the results. Furthermore, it is found that the upstream–downstream direction is not always the most important direction for dams and that interaction modeling influences the resonance bandwidth, which affects the forecast of the resonance phenomenon.

The main objective of this work is the numerical prediction of the mechanical behaviour up to the damage of the bends of the functionally graded material (FGM) type ceramic/metal pipes. Firstly, the effective elastoplastic proper-ties of bent FGM pipes were determined using the homogenisation law by the Mori–Tanaka models for the elastic part and TTO (Tamura-Tomota-Ozawa) for the plastic part based on a rule of mixtures per function in the form of a power law. Our work also aims at the use of a meshing method (UMM) to predict the behaviour of the FGM by finite element in the mesh of the model. The analysis was performed using the UMM technique for different loading cases and volume fraction distribution. Two stages are necessary for the analysis of the damage: the first is the model of initiation of the damage established by the criterion of maximum deformation named MAXPE and the second is criterion of the energy of the rupture according to the theory Hillerborg used to determine damage evolution. Both stages involve a 3D finite element method analysis. However, for damage, the XFEM technique was used in our UMM method to predict crack initiation and propagation in FGM pipe bends. The results of the numerical analysis concerning the mechanical behavior showed, that if the nature of the bent pipes is in FGM, a good reduction of the various stresses compared to those where the nature of the pipe is metallic material. The results were presented in the form of a force–displacement curve. The validation of the proposed numerical methodology is highlighted by comparisons of current results with results from the literature, which showed good agreement. The analysis took into account the effect of the main parameters in a bent FGM pipe under internal pressure and bending moment on the variation of the force–strain curves.
Exploring the Current State of Forensic Accounting in Saudi Arabia and Possible Ways of Elevating It to Assist the Government Fighting Corruption
Authors: AlShaikh AlAnoud Mohammed , Al-Adeem Khalid Rasheed
Published: July 2023

Corruption occurs when there is a misuse of current resources to maximize personal benefits at the expense of other parties, causing financial problems and preventing the development of emerging economies.

Forensic accounting services utilize financial data to solve legal disputes. Saudi Arabia’s government does not tolerate obstacles that impede the realization of its ambitious Vision 2030, a long-term plan for transforming society and reforming the economy. The war on corruption has been observed in Saudi Arabian domestic policy. Whether the forensic accounting profession and the readiness of accountants qualified to conduct forensic inquiries and investigations are effectively accompanied by the government’s fight is probed. This study explores the current state of forensic accounting in Saudi Arabia. Potential means of employing such status to make Saudi Vision 2030 a reality to combat corruption and the ability of forensic accounting to ease the government’s fight are also investigated. A questionnaire was conducted on 181 participants comprising accountants, auditors, judges, accountancy academics, Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority employees, and any supervisory body in Saudi Arabia. The results show that 46% of the surveyed participants were unaware of forensic accounting, implying that despite its significance and demand for its services, forensic accounting is undersupplied in Saudi Arabia. Thus, it is inferred that the current state of forensic accounting is below the required level. To address this issue, forensic accounting should be incorporated into accounting curricula, accountants should join specialized scholarship programs and seek to be certified forensic accountants. Policy-makers must develop charter institutions and related forensic accounting standards.
Forensic Accounting: Time for a Unified Global Approach
Authors: Winfield Joanne , Roberts Martin
Published: July 2023

Forensic accountants need to respond to the ever-growing global threat of financial crime and the continuing need for expertise within the area of financial dispute work. The global development of forensic accounting as a discipline has been ad hoc, and this paper will focus on the two most developed nations regarding the expansion of forensic accounting i.e., the USA and the UK. From this study two major themes have emerged: that of the status of the regulation and education of forensic accountants within the USA and the UK and we ultimately call for radical reform in both areas. Currently there is no recognised regulatory body which encompasses all aspects of a forensic accountant’s role, thus there is no standard code of ethics which practicing forensic accountants are obliged to follow. In addition, the absence of a recognised educational route to becoming a forensic accountant has resulted in a lack of awareness of the role as a potential career path and makes succession planning within forensic accounting firms problematic.
Role of Digital Forensics in Combating Financial Crimes in the Computer Era

Published: July 2023

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed every area of our lives. Cyberspace-related areas have reflected these shifts. Cyberspace has an undeniable positive impact on information, trade, industry, and communication. On the other hand, cybercrime is a dark side of the Internet that degrades its peaceful use. Any illegal activity carried out by or via cyberspace and its electronic environment is characterized as cybercrime. Unlike traditional crimes, cybercrimes present a real dilemma because the identities of criminals may be hidden in the virtual domain. Digital forensics has emerged to formulate possible ways for cybercrime investigation and analysis process. In this paper, we deplore the idea of digital forensics in the context of cybercrimes. An investigation of the positive impact of digital forensics in combating cybercrimes is discussed. In today’s world of computers, any information can be made available within a few clicks for different endeavors. The information may be tampered with by changing the statistical properties and can be further used for criminal activities.

Published: July 2023

Banks and banking business are exposed to the influence of numerous risks, of which the importance of credit risk management stands out, because credit risk is the only risk that banks are obliged to measure, record in accounting and report. Banks monitor credit risk through the segmentation of the credit portfolio according to the level of risk. This paper is focused on research related to the management of the riskiest category of the credit portfolio, for which we will use the term special credit risk (SCR) in this paper.

Published: July 2023

In today’s increasingly connected and digitized business environment, brands face numerous challenges that can significantly affect their reputation and value, and one of the key challenges that many organizations across the world face is brand risk. Due to its role in many aspects of business, the main purpose of this paper is to revitalize this phenomenon by exploring it through bibliometric indicators, publishing trends and analyzing it through the current literature. In this sense, the paper adresses two research questions, both related to revealing the scope and nature of brand risk as the construct of a great relevance in many scientific fields, whereas a special attention has been given to the analysis of the most cited papers on this matter. The findings show that the construct although presented two decades ago is still in infancy phase, and quite neglected in the current body of knowledge.

Whiteflies are the most detrimental insect pest for cucurbit crops in Georgia, USA. Plant growth and yield are severely reduced due to whitefly feeding and, more importantly, many plant viruses they vector. Chemical management of whiteflies has been ineffective. An integrated pest management (IPM) strategy is needed to reduce whitefly numbers to an acceptable level in cucurbit crops in Georgia. This study evaluated the impact of plastic mulch color, exclusionary row covers, particle clay, and organic insecticidal solutions (soap and neem oil) on plant growth, fruit yield, and whitefly index (WFindex) in zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L). The study was conducted during the fall of 2019 and 2020. Particle clay applications reduced zucchini foliar temperatures and WFindex and increased zucchini fruit yields. Black plastic mulch reduced fruit yield due to increased root zone temperature and did not impact whitefly numbers. Neem oil and soap decreased the WFindex but inconsistently affected fruit yield and quality. Our findings indicate that neem oil, soap, and particle clay may be part of an IPM program for whiteflies. However, further evaluations are needed in large plots and commercial fields to confirm the preliminary results of this study.
