Objective: To assess the gingival recession in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Study Design: Descriptive Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Orthodontic, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Science Jamshoro and Department of Orthodontic, Civil Hospital Hyderabad. Period: 05-01-2021 to 04-06-2021. Material & Methods: A total of 183 patients aged 18–35 have been included in this descriptive cross-sectional research study. After the history was taken, the study participants went through a clinical examination, but for those patients with ongoing fixed orthodontic treatment, at least three to six months of orthodontic treatment have been completed. Gingival recession was assessed using Millers’ classification and oral hygiene index. Results: The average age of 183 individuals was 22.75+2.29 years. Women outnumbered men 65.5% to 35.5%. According to the oral hygiene index, 28.4% of patients scored exceptional (0-0), 39.3% acceptable (0-0.6), 25.7% fair (0.7-1.8), and 6.6% bad (1.9-3.0). Marginal gingival tissue recession categorization showed that 66.6% of patients had no recession, 21.8% had class I, 10.9% had class II, 0.5% had class III, and 0% had class IV. According to oral hygienic index, marginal tissue recession categorization was significant (p=0.001). At 0.035 significance level, marginal tissue recession and oral hygiene score were positively linked (r=183). Conclusion: Most of the cases with fixed orthodontic appliances had no gingival tissue recession, only few cases seen class I and class II. However, this mild gingival tissue recession was significantly associated to oral hygienic index.

Published: February 2024

En muestreos de plagas con densidades bajas es común obtener gran cantidad de ceros, lo que es difícil de manejar, ya que las distribuciones de probabilidad Poisson y binomial negativa no son adecuadas para su modelación y no se dispone de ecuaciones para estimar el tamaño de muestra óptimo. En este estudio se modelo el exceso de ceros mediante la estimación de parámetros a través de los métodos de momentos y de máxima verosimilitud de las distribuciones Poisson cero inflado y binomial negativa cero inflado, y derivar ecuaciones para calcular el tamaño de muestra óptima. Se utilizó muestreo sistemático para seleccionar 100 árboles por huerto de toronja (Citrus paradisi Macfad) Río Red, en la Finca Sayula, Veracruz, México (latitud 19.20722, longitud -96.35194), de junio a julio 2021 y enero 2022. Se contó el número de minadores (Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton) y pulgones (Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy) presentes en tres hojas por brote por árbol, consideradas como unidad muestral. Se realizaron simulaciones en RStudio con diferentes proporciones de cero (0.1, 0.4 y 0.6) para comparar los parámetros obtenidos en campo, mediante el método de los momentos y máxima verosimilitud. Se derivaron ecuaciones para estimar el tamaño de muestra óptimo en estudios de plagas con densidades bajas, a partir de las distribuciones de probabilidad Poisson cero inflado y binomial negativa cero inflado. El método de los momentos arroja tamaños de muestra óptimos menores a aquellos obtenidos mediante máxima verosimilitud, debido a que distinguen el origen del cero, por lo que se recomienda su uso.
Mathematical argumentation of three-year-old children on a classroom experience based on two STEAM domains
Authors: Salgado María , Berciano Ainhoa , Abad-Villaverde Beatriz
Published: February 2024

In the last decades, the importance of argumentation as a human competence in general and its close relationship with mathematical comprehension in particular has been highlighted. Thus, in this paper we focus our interest on analyzing the argumentation skills shown by three-year-old children in a STEAM classroom experience. For this purpose, a qualitative study was carried out. For data collection, a STEAM task has been designed in which mathematics and science are worked together from the study of the physical properties of water. Specifically, what color and taste of water has by means of two experiments and, subsequently, photos and video-recordings have been collected during the implementation carried out in a classroom with 20 children of three-year-old. All data collect have subsequently been transcribed and categorized. The results indicate that the children, during the experiments done, mainly use arguments based on mathematical language, numerical figures, or make use of words or spelling, although with considerable imprecision in the type of language used. In addition, the experiments carried out have allowed a high percentage of children to change their previous ideas and have a more comprehensive approach to the concepts introduced, highlighting the importance of working on argumentation in early childhood education through contexts, in this case STEAM, which encourage reasoning and proof.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for growing tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) on Andisol soil order. However, many farmers tend to use an excessive amount of inorganic fertilizers, which can have adverse effects on both the environment and tomato yield. To combat this problem, an alternative solution is to replace the inorganic fertilizer through inoculation of Azotobacter as an N-fixing bacteria. An experiment was conducted to examine the combined effects of the N-fixing consortium with NPK on total soil N, N uptake, Azotobacter spp. population, growth and the tomato plants yield. The experiment was performed on Andisols, located roughly 1250 m above sea level in West Java Province. The experimental design used was a Randomized Block Design, in three replications, consisting of A (Control), B (N-fixing inoculation), C (N-fixing + ¼ NPK), D (N-fixing + ½ NPK), E (N-fixing + ¾ NPK), F (N-fixing + 1 NPK), and G (1 NPK). The experiment revealed that the Lembang Andisol had an acidic pH, moderate available N, and high P retention. Applying Azotobacter sp. and Azotobacter vinelandii (N-fixing consortium) combined with one dose of NPK increased plant height and the total soil N content. N-fixing inoculation combined with 1/4 NPK, ½ NP, and ¾ NPK increased plant N uptake. The inoculation of N-fixing + ¼ NPK increased fruit weight, the number of fruits, and the yield per hectare of tomatoes. Inoculating Azotobacter sp. and Azotobacter vinelandii in mixed culture can reduce NPK usage by 75%, resulting in higher tomato yield.

Published: February 2024

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which gives rise to focal lesions in the gray and white matter and to diffuse neurodegeneration in the entire brain. In this review, the spectrum of MS lesion s and their relation to the inflammatory process is described. Pathology suggests that inflammation drives tissue injury at all stages of the disease. Focal inflammatory infiltrates in the meninges and the perivascular spaces appear to produce soluble factors, which induce demyelination or neuro- degeneration either directly or indirectly through microglia activation. The nature of these soluble factors, which are responsible for demyelinating activity in sera and cerebrospinal fluid of the patients, is currently undefined. Demyelination and neurodegeneration are finally accomplished by oxidative injury and mitochondrial damage leading to a state of “virtual hypoxia.”

Refractory hypothyroidism: True malabsorption or pseudo-malabsorption?
Authors: Hamza EL JADI  , Oussama ELGHARNATI  , Sanae CHAKDOUFI
Published: February 2024

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrinopathies. Its treatment consists of hormonal supplementation with levothyroxine. Despite the simplicity and accessibility of this treatment, cases of refractory hypothyroidism have been reported despite high doses. Our case is a new observation exposing this problem while discussing the modalities of its management. Patient aged 34, followed for 6 months for hypothyroidism post total thyroidectomy. She was taking 300 μg/day of levothyroxine. The patient reported compliance with her treatment. She did not report taking any other medications. Clinical examination revealed that the patient was profoundly hypothyroid. Biological tests showed TSH > 100 μUI/mL (0.35-4.94), FT4 less than 0.40 (0.7-1.48) and FT3< 1.07 pg/mL (1.71-3.71). After eliminating all obvious causes, an oral thyroid hormone absorption test was performed in hospital, with FT4 measurements at H0, H2, H4 and H6 after levothyroxine intake. The results showed increasing FT4 elevation, eliminating the diagnosis of malabsorption and testifying to our patient's poor compliance with treatment. We report on a case that highlights the value of the thyroid hormone absorption test, which can help distinguish between true malabsorption and pseudo-malabsorption, in which case re- education on proper compliance and possible psychological follow-up are required.

Orbitopathy is the most common extra-thyroidal complication of Graves' disease and is a potentially serious pathology as it threatens the functional prognosis. Its management is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. We report the case of a 26-year-old female patient followed for 2 years for Graves' disease with a very severe Graves’ Orbitopathy (GO) requiring close monitoring and multidisciplinary collaboration to preserve the visual prognosis. Our article illustrates the seriousness of this pathology and provides an update on the latest diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
Realization of diminutive meanings by verbs with the suffix -el(n) in modern German
Authors: Petryanina Olga Valeryevna , Revina Elena Vladimirovna
Published: February 2024

The paper describes unprefixed diminutive verbs with the suffix -el(n) in modern German from the perspective of the interconnection between their semantics and pragmatics. The aim of the research is to identify the primary actualizations of diminutive meanings by the analyzed units. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the first attempt to thoroughly analyze the influence of a derivational affix (the German suffix -el(n)) on the development of diminutive semantics within the semantic structure of a verb. Additionally, the authors expand the understanding of the diminutiveness category by considering notions such as intensity and iterativity. As a result of conducting a corpus analysis of German verbs with the suffix -el(n) that manifest diminutive meanings, it was found that affixational means of expressing diminutiveness primarily possess a semantic nature and mainly mark the category of intentionality of verbs. It was also found that the meanings of diminutiveness in some derivatives ending in -el(n) are explicit only through various shades of attenuation, derived solely from the pragmatic content of verbal lexemes, simultaneously conveying implicit evaluative information about the action.
Words with complex stems as members of a word family in German (by the example of the word family with the base word “lieben”)
Authors: Krupnova Nataliya Aleksandrovna
Published: February 2024

The study aims to identify the word-formation, semantic and stylistic features of words with complex stems belonging to the word family with the verbal base word “lieben” in the German language. The paper examines in detail the formation of words according to parts of speech, finds polysemous units among them and determines how their meanings developed, as well as the type of polysemy. In addition, the author drew attention to the spheres of functioning of these words in speech. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the author is the first to describe words with complex stems belonging to the word family comprehensively, from different positions. As a result of the study, it was found that compound nouns are the most numerous class of compound words and blends in this word family. Compound words, or composites, are formed by compounding, blends are formed by blending. According to their semantic structure, words with complex stems are monosemants, only a small number of them have four and two meanings. Words with complex stems of this word family both denote common concepts and are terms in certain branches of science, such as biology, botany, psychology, astronomy, mythology, etc.

Published: February 2024

Introducción. El efecto de las políticas para el mejoramiento del bienestar de los residentes, en términos de desgaste profesional y compromiso laboral, es controversial y su resultado tras la implementación de la “ley de residentes” (1917/2018) en Colombia es desconocido. Este estudio explora el efecto de esta ley en médicos residentes de cirugía colombianos.
Métodos. Estudio de métodos mixtos secuencial explicativo. Inicialmente, se invitó a todos los residentes de cirugía del país a autodiligenciar los cuestionarios UWES-17 y MBI-HSS para evaluar el compromiso laboral (vigor, dedicación y absorción) y desgaste profesional (agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y baja realización personal) antes (2019) y después (2022) de la implementación de la ley. Se probaron diferentes hipótesis mediante modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados fueron explorados con cirujanos mediante grupos focales. La información cualitativa fue analizada manualmente y por inteligencia artificial, y reportada en temas principales.
Resultados. Participaron en el estudio 400 residentes. La tasa de desgaste profesional fue de 24,8 % antes y 15,8 % después (p=0,032). El análisis de ecuaciones estructurales confirmó que el agotamiento emocional sobre el desgaste profesional fue menor en 2022 (p=0,022). No se identificaron cambios significativos en el compromiso laboral. La principal explicación fue atribuida a los beneficios económicos de la ley.
Conclusión. La tasa de desgaste profesional en médicos residentes de cirugía colombianos se redujo significativamente tras la implementación de la “ley de residentes”. Estos hallazgos tienen implicaciones para la practica y el mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación.

The article is devoted to the establishment of music – performing activities in the first half of the XVIII century. Developing pedagogy and music education received support educated society and royalty, which was an effective factor in the development of European performance. The subsequent capitalization of Europe laid the foundations for the process of specialization and division of labor in all spheres of human activity, in particular the differentiation of professions in art. Gradually there was a distinction between the professions of composer, performer and teacher.

Published: February 2024

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic primary pain syndrome in which underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. The role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and interoceptive accuracy (IA), the ability to accurately sense internal body signals, in relation to pain sensitivity was examined in persons with FM which were compared to healthy controls. ANS activity was expected to differ in FM compared to controls, both at rest and while performing mental stressful tasks, and IA was expected to be different too. It was further explored whether IA mediates the relationship between ANS activity and pain. In total 108 participants (n=54 healthy controls and n=54 persons with FM) underwent ANS measures during alternating rest and mental stress conditions. These ANS measures consisted of skin conductance levels (SCL), heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV), cardiac output, pre-ejection period and stroke volume (SV). IA was measured using a heartbeat perception task and pain sensitivity was assessed by determining pressure pain thresholds. Several questionnaires were administered which were associated to ANS, IA and pain measures. During mental stress as compared to rest conditions, higher levels were found for SCL (p <.001) and HR (p <.001) in both groups, while SV (p <.004) was higher in rest versus in mental stress. Significant interactions between condition (rest versus mental stress) and groups (FM versus controls) were found for SCL (p =.04) and HR (p =.01), pointing to lower reactivity to stress in FM. Posthoc tests showed no significant group effects for the different conditions (i.e., for the rest or stress conditions). Group main effects were neither found for any of the ANS measures. Lower IA scores were found in FM compared to controls (p =.009). IA did not significantly mediate the relationship between ANS measures and pain thresholds. Since no differences between persons with FM and controls were found for any of the ANS measures, it can be concluded that ANS functions do not seem to be a crucial underlying mechanism in FM, at least in the relatively healthy subgroup included in this study. Importantly however, results showed that IA is diminished in FM. The role of IA in the pathogenesis and treatment of (at least a subgroup of persons with) FM requires further study. Also, studies into interoceptive modalities other than heartbeat perception are needed.
Voices and Prejudice: Accent-based information affects the perceived competence and social attractiveness of the speaker
Authors: Brusa Alessandra , Proverbio Alice Mado
Published: February 2024

People's voices are powerful markers for listeners to socially classify, stereotype, and form impressions of others. The present study used a behavioral technique to investigate whether the listener's ability to make inferences based on the speaker's accent can influence language comprehension. The study used voices with native and foreign accents belonging to non-Western ethnic groups (e.g., Chinese, Indian, Latin American, Arabic, Eastern European). These voices spoke a total of 186 sentences that could either conform to, violate, or be neutral toward a racial stereotype. After each sentence was presented, 70 participants rated the content and the speaker on expectancy, comprehension, competence, and social attractiveness. Results showed that the speaker's accent and the resulting stereotype-based inferences modulated the expectancy of the sentence. Furthermore, the study showed that accent-based information can influence perceived speaker competence and social attractiveness as a function of stereotypical or counter-stereotypical sentence semantics.
Political polarisation on social media: Competing understandings of democracy in Turkey
Authors: Türkoğlu Didem , Odabas Meltem , Tunaoğlu Doruk , Yavaş Mustafa
Published: February 2024

Heightened political polarisation threatens the stability of democratic institutions. While prior studies show that polarisation is evident in competing groups’ deployment of different terminology to describe the same topic, we emphasise polarisation can also be evident in groups’ attachment of different meanings to the same terminology. Competition for dominance in the public sphere is reflected in social media which become sites of contestation, showcasing antagonistic claims of legitimacy. We examine polarisation in the online political discursive field during the June 2019 rerun Istanbul elections in Turkey. We employed qualitative and computational methods to analyse approximately 116,000 tweets, focusing on political discussions around three interrelated prominent themes: “democracy,” “elections,” and “public service.” Twitter users did not simply associate the act of casting a vote with electing the candidate, but more importantly, they presented it as a competition over the future of democracy in Turkey.
Climate change worries and fertility intentions. Insights from three EU countries.
Authors: Bastianelli Elena
Published: February 2024

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between climate change concern and fertility intentions in Finland, Estonia, and Sweden.Background: Climate change concern is said to influence fertility intentions either by prompting individuals to reduce their intended fertility to alleviate the pressure on the planet or by fostering uncertainty about the future and a sense of guilt associated with bringing a child into a world perceived as doomed. Yet, it remains unclear whether climate change concern is associated with fertility intentions on a broader population level or if its relevance is limited to a specific subset of activist individuals.Method: The analysis relies on data from the 2021 Gender and Generation Survey. Multinomial logistic regressions are employed to assess the likelihood of both positive and negative fertility intentions. Furthermore, for individuals expressing positive intentions, OLS regressions are used to estimate the intended number of children. Interactions between climate change concern and age and education are considered to address potential heterogeneity in effects.Results: Those very worried about climate change are more likely to intend to remain childless, and less likely to intend to have children, while there is no association between climate worries and the total intended number of children. Results seems especially driven by the 18-24 and 25-34 age groups, while no clear pattern emerges across educational levels.Conclusion: This study highlights, for the first time in the European context and on a representative sample, that climate change concern is negatively associated to fertility intentions.

This study aims to prove the effect of location and price perception on repurchase intention of Mixue con-sumers with lifestyle as a moderating variable. As many as 300 Mixue consumers contributed in filling out the questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used by setting the criteria for the respondent, namely between 10 and 25 years of age and having made a purchase more than once. SmartPLS 4 SEM is used to process data. The results in this study include location, price perception, and lifestyle variables all having a signi-ficant impact on repurchase intentions. However, lifestyle cannot moderate the influence of location on repeat purchases. Even though it can have a positive impact, lifestyle is not statistically significant in mode-rating the influence of price perceptions on repeat purchases. The conclusion in this study is that companies must innovate a product that meets the lifestyle expectations of customers with impulsive consumption. Apart from lifestyle, price perception also needs to be improved. Location variables also need to be consider-ed, such as being able to offer a safe parking area and a high level of cleanliness and comfort

Based on the study of the chemical and mineralogical composition of rocks, which are raw materials of stone processing enterprises, it is necessary to consider the feasibility of using finely dispersed waste of stone processing enterprises in the composition of concrete materials and products as a fine filler. Methodology. A conclusion, based on of a generalized analysis of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the rocks processed at the enterprises for the production of stone facing products, has been made about the expected composition of the pulp and its suitability for use in cement mortars. The limit of compressive strength of samples with different percentages of replacement of construction sand with waste from stone-working enterprises has been determined experimentally. Results. The analysis of the chemical and mineral composition of natural facing stone confirms the chemical inertness of finely dispersed waste from stone processing enterprises and the possibility of their use as a filler for cement solutions and concrete. On the basis of the results obtained in the course of experimental studies, a conclusion has been made about the increase in the strength limit of concrete samples with partial replacement of construction sand in the concrete recipe. An increase in the density of the obtained samples has also been observed Scientific novelty. The dependence of the content of fine-dispersed waste from stone-working enterprises processing natural stone from gabbro, granite, and labradorite deposits on the compressive strength limit of concrete samples, with their partial replacement of building sand in the concrete recipe, has been investigated. Practical significance. The ability to add fine-dispersed waste from stone-working enterprises to the composition of concrete when they replace construction sand has been proven. It makes it possible to develop a practical algorithm for using these wastes as secondary raw materials and save extractable natural resources.

Purpose. Determination of the influence of technical characteristics of building materials and structures when assessing the safety of operation of buildings and structures in conditions of elevated temperatures. Methodology. During the research, the following methods were used: methods of determining the fire hazard of building materials; standard methods of testing the physical and mechanical properties of building materials; analysis of literary sources and statistical analysis (classification of building materials according to degree of flammability and properties; physical property of burning of various building materials; physico-chemical process of flame propagation during burning of various building materials by stages); etc. Results. It has been determined that foreign methods of testing materials and structures are not universal and do not allow to fully obtain the necessary information from the tested material, which complicates the real assessment of their technical characteristics, including fire safety, and requires improvement. From the point of view of labor protection and safety, our analysis of the fire hazard of construction materials and structures showed that the problem of ensuring labor protection at enterprises due to fire protection concerns a number of structures made of concrete and reinforced concrete, asbestos cement, brick, metal, wood, plastics, etc. This problem is most relevant for structures made of metal (steel and aluminum alloys), wood, plastics, and more and more recently used translucent facade structures. Scientific novelty. The main areas of ensuring the safe operation of buildings and structures, taking into account state regulations, have been determined. Practical significance. A comprehensive assessment of the safety of the operation of buildings and structures, building materials and structures under the influence of high temperatures has been carried out.
