Minimal intervention dentistry
Authors: Malhan Sunil , Ayoub Khushboo
Published: April 2022

This publication describes the history of Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) for managing dental caries and presents evidence for various carious lesion detection devices, for preventive measures, for restorative and non-restorative therapies as well as for repairing rather than replacing defective restorations. It is a follow-up to the FDI World Dental Federation publication on MID, of 2000. The dental profession currently is faced with an enormous task of how to manage the high burden of consequences of the caries process amongst the world population. If it is to manage carious lesion development and its progression, it should move away from the ‘surgical’ care approach and fully embrace the MID approach. The chance for MID to be successful is thought to be increased tremendously if dental caries is not considered an infectious but instead a behavioral disease with a bacterial component. Controlling the two main carious lesion development related behaviors, i.e. intake and frequency of fermentable sugars, to not more than five times daily and removing/disturbing dental plaque from all tooth surfaces using an effective fluoridated toothpaste twice daily, are the ingredients for reducing the burden of dental caries in many communities in the world.

Authors: Singh Ramesh , Jolly Aman , Gour Ritika
Published: April 2022

World energy consumption is quickly rising as a result of population and economic expansion, particularly in big emerging economies, which will account for 90% of energy demand increase through 2035. Electric vehicles (EVs) are critical components of the electrification revolution aimed at reducing the carbon footprint. In this case study, a completely different side of EVs is explored where EVs can be used as an energy storage unit that has the potential to meet the demands of high energy needs in a variable electricity tariff setting. The study proposed in this work suggests that energy stored in EVs can also be used back in the smart grid at the time of high energy requirements which can significantly decrease the load shedding in both urban and rural areas. The simulation model presented on MATLAB shows a significant dip in energy demand after electricity stored in the Electric vehicles is used back in the smart grid. The study also proposed an ensemble model that is able to predict the overload in the Grid. The ensemble model achieving the R2 score of 0.87 and RMSE value of 0.06.

Published: April 2022

Banks in India have changed after the introduction of liberalisation, Privatisation, and Globalisation in 1991. The asset position of the banks became vulnerable due to the non-repayment of loans and advances during the last twenty-nine years (1991-2020). The basic question is on Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) and their influence on assets already accumulated in the banking system. The research questions addressed are: Whether gross and net NPAs to gross and net advances ratios are significant over time? and Are there trend differentials by type of banks? Using ANOVA fixed Effects model by types of bank, the results indicate that the All Scheduled Commercial Banks Gross Non-Performing Assets to Gross Advances ratio & Net Non-Performing Assets to Net Advances ratio is statistically significant. Further, no statistical significance is found for GNPAs to Gross Advances ratio and NNPAs to Net Advances ratio in the case of Public Sector Banks. The Private Sector Banks show statistical significance at 0.000% level both for gross and net NPAs to gross and net advances ratio. Foreign Banks show statistical significance in both ratios. The performance trend indicates the need for structural reformation of Public Sector Banks for better performance in the forthcoming years.

A deep study on real-time atmospheric aerosols and variability over Indian subcontinent environment
Authors: Kiranmai V. L. , Prasanth P. Vishnu , Kumar T. Kiran
Published: April 2022

Study of atmospheric aerosols is very complex owing to their short life time and, chemical constituents. Aerosol loading is highly regional and there life time is very short. An attempt has been made in this paper to study the variability of atmospheric aerosols over Indian subcontinent using a statistical parameter Coefficient of Variation (COV). The magnitude of variability over this region is studied. The factors influencing the variability are studied to find the reasons for difference in magnitude over different regions. Rainfall naturally influences the variability aerosols due to scavenging, but if it is the only factor influencing the variability, the study is absurd. It is found that the influence of rainfall on COV is not pronounced as it is not a seasonal phenomenon. Influence of other parameters viz. Topography, wind vector, thermal power plants and population on variability of aerosols is clearly found. These results help in classifying aerosol zones on the basis of variability of aerosol optical depth. The study also helps in finding the cause of aerosol loading over a region. Measures can be taken to decrease the loading if it is due to local sources.

Since December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused high morbidity and mortality, with new variants rapidly spreading. Vaccines to prevent corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) have been developed with unprecedented speed. An open, real-time, retrospective observational study was conducted at 167 Military Hospital, Pathankot. Data was available for 490 Covid 19 patients. The population of interest was 18-87 years old patients who were treated for moderate to severe covid pneumonia irrespective of the vaccination status. Vaccination history was documented on admission. We also documented awareness regarding the name of covid-19 vaccine administered to the patients admitted in this hospital. Between 08 Dec 2020, and 20 Jun 2021, 490 patients aged 18 years and older were treated for moderate to severe covid pneumonia. Out of these 490 patients, 132 patients had received first dose of covid-19 vaccine 14 days prior to onset of symptoms. Mortality happened in 55 patients out of which seven patients had received vaccine (p<0.05). Overall, there is very poor awareness regarding the type of covid-19 vaccine being administered to the patients.
Cooperative solutions for TU and NTU stochastic game-theoretical approach
Authors: Vimala K. , Bharathi S.
Published: April 2022

The player's payoff in stochastic games is a stochastic variable. In most studies, predicted payout is referred to as a payoff, implying that the players are risk averse. However, there may be risk-averse players that consider "risk" while calculating their stochastic payoffs. We offer a model of stochastic games using mean-variance reward functions, which are the sum of expectation and standard deviation multiplied by a coefficient indicating a player's risk aversion. By adopting a maxmin technique to define the characteristic function, we may create a cooperative version of a stochastic game with mean-variance preferences. This paper contains an analysis of a cooperative solution concept of stochastic games for both TU (transferable utility) and NTU (non-transferable utility) games. We proposed a cooperative game solution method of extension of two-person zero sum strategic game to n-agent stochastic stage game using both Shapley and Banzhaf index functions. Results are proved for both discounted and undiscounted payoff situations. Existing models of discrete-time stochastic games and ways to finding cooperative solutions in these games are extended in this study.

Cornered by Protected Areas: Replacing ‘Fortress’ Conservation with Rights-based Approaches Helps Bring Justice for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, Reduces Conflict, and Enables Cost-effective Conservation and Climate Action
Authors: Tauli-Corpuz Victoria , Alcorn Janis , Molnar Augusta
Published: April 2022

Faced with growing environmental threats, governments and the international community have sought ways to halt biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation and realize global climate and development priorities. Today, expanding the global network of protected areas is a key approach for achieving the goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Paris Agreement on climate change. But human pressure is increasing in and around protected areas, and far from improving the lives of those affected by the growing number of conservation initiatives, land and forest sequestration through “fortress” conservation approaches is creating chronic patterns of abuse and human-rights violations. In a context where many protected areas are underfunded and therefore limited in their capacity to deliver climate or biodiversity outcomes, the push for still more and even larger parks and conservation areas only stands to exacerbate the existing funding gap and the potential for injustice. Yet, despite widespread poverty and insecure resource rights, evidence shows that Indigenous Peoples and local communities are nevertheless spending their limited resources on conservation efforts and achieving outcomes that are at least equivalent to those of government-funded protected areas. As this brief shows, there is an urgent need to replace the fortress-conservation model with rights-based approaches to both improve conservation outcomes and end human-rights abuses committed in the name of conservation.

Authors:   Land Conflict Watch,   Rights and Resources Initiative,   Oxfam India
Published: April 2022

In India, conflicts over land can have deep and far-reaching implications for the well-being, development, and identities of communities. A land conflict can be defined as any instance in which two or more parties contest the use of, access to, or control over land and its associated resources. Land conflicts permeate rural and urban areas across all Indian states. Resolving land conflicts in India's developing economy is essential to reducing inequality and the inequities that an isolated focus on growth can exacerbate. Land Conflict Watch (LCW) has investigated the reasons for, and the impact of, land conflicts across the country over the last three years.
Defining Unaccusatives in Sudanese Arabic
Authors: Taha Mohammed , Mohammed Sultan Fazal Mohammed
Published: April 2022

This article explores the properties of unaccusatives in spoken Sudanese Arabic within the minimalist program. The overall aim is to testify the Unaccusative Hypothesis, in particular, the thematic and argument structure, locative inversion, there-insertion and passivization against the data from Sudanese Arabic. Grammatical judgment questionnaires were given to 10 native Sudanese speakers to test their intuition about unaccusatives. Parallel to the available literature, unaccusatives in Sudanese Arabic are defined by their semantic properties reflected syntactically in their thematic and argument structure. Unaccusatives can appear in locative inversion construction and in thereinsertion structures but cannot undergo passivization. This class of predicates takes a single argument, assigning the thematic role as Theme. Structurally, the single argument of unaccusative verbs moves from its canonical object position within VP to non-canonical surface subject position in [Spec, TP], making the structural derivation of unaccusative similar to that of passives, in that both lack external argument as well as both involve argument raising from lower position to higher position. The findings of this study manifest that languages of the world share some common properties even though they belong to different families. This in turn, provides rich information to comparative syntax, linguistic theories, and language typology.

Aromatic Agriculture: Volatile Compound-Based Plant Disease Diagnosis and Crop Protection
Authors: Riu Myoungjoo , Son Jin-Soo , Oh Sang-Keun , Ryu Choong-Min
Published: April 2022

Volatiles exist ubiquitously in nature. Volatile compounds produced by plants and microorganisms confer inter-kingdom and intra-kingdom communications. Autoinducer signaling molecules from contact-based chemical communication, such as bacterial quorum sensing, are relayed through short distances. By contrast, biogenic volatiles derived from plant-microbe interactions generate long-distance (>20 cm) alarm signals for sensing harmful microorganisms. In this review, we discuss prior work on volatile compound-mediated diagnosis of plant diseases, and the use of volatile packaging and dispensing approaches for the biological control of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. In this regard, recent developments on technologies to analyze and detect microbial volatile compounds are introduced. Furthermore, we survey the chemical encapsulation, slow-release, and bio-nano techniques for volatile formulation and delivery that are expected to overcome limitations in the application of biogenic volatiles to modern agriculture. Collectively, technological advances in volatile compound detection, packaging, and delivery provide great potential for the implementation of ecologically-sound plant disease management strategies. We hope that this review will help farmers and young scientists understand the nature of microbial volatile compounds, and shift paradigms on disease diagnosis and management to aromatic (volatile-based) agriculture.

Authors: Kim Dohyun , Li Taiying , Lee Jungkwan , Lee Seung-Ho
Published: April 2022

Ginseng is an important medicinal plant cultivated in East Asia for thousands of years. It is typically cultivated in the same field for 4 to 6 years and is exposed to a variety of pathogens. Among them, ginseng root rot is the main reason that leads to the most severe losses. In this study, endophytic bacteria were isolated from healthy ginseng, and endophytes with antagonistic effect against ginseng root rot pathogens were screened out. Among the 17 strains, three carried antagonistic effect, and were resistant to radicicol that is a mycotoxin produced by ginseng root rot pathogens. Finally, Bacillus velezensis CH-15 was selected due to excellent antagonistic effect and radicicol resistance. When CH-15 was inoculated on ginseng root, it not only inhibited the mycelial growth of the pathogen, but also inhibited the progression of disease. CH-15 also carried biosynthetic genes for bacillomycin D, iturin A, bacilysin, and surfactin. In addition, CH-15 culture filtrate significantly inhibited the growth and conidial germination of pathogens. This study shows that endophytic bacterium CH-15 had antagonistic effect on ginseng root rot pathogens and inhibited the progression of ginseng root rot. We expected that this strain can be a microbial agent to suppress ginseng root rot.

Published: April 2022

In January 2021, unusual outbreak of shoot rot symptoms was observed in young spikenard (Aralia cordata) plants growing in vinyl greenhouses located in Chuncheon and Yanggu, Gangwon Province, Korea. The symptoms initially appeared on young shoots of the plants at or above the soil surface level. Later, the infected shoots wholly rotted and blighted. The incidence of diseased plants in the vinyl greenhouses investigated ranged from 5% to 30%. Eight isolates of Rhizoctonia sp. were obtained from shoot lesions of the diseased plants. All the isolates were identified as Rhizoctonia solani AG-2-1 based on the morphological characteristics and anastomosis test. Three isolates of R. solani AG-2-1 were tested for pathogenicity on young shoots of spikenard plants using artificial inoculation. All the tested isolates induced shoot rot symptoms on the inoculated plants. The symptoms were similar to those observed in spikenard plants from the vinyl greenhouses investigated. This is the first report of R. solani AG-2-1 causing shoot rot in spikenard.

An objective method to forecast the occurrence of heavy precipitation over Bombay and neighbourhood has been presented in this paper. The various synoptic situations generally favourable for heavy rainfall Over the chosen area have been listed and attempts are made to select suitable predictors to cover most of these situations. The predictors should be such that they are capable of lending themselves to objective treatment. A search is also made for the predictor which would provide the maximum possible information concerning the predict and The result has been the evolution of a Heavy Rainfall Prediction Diagram whose co-ordinates are the latitude of kinematic trough line between the longitudes 70° to 75"E at 7000/10,000 ft and the shear at 10,000 ft between Bombay and Ahmedabad. The isohyets on the diagram have been constructed based on past data for the month of July. If on a certain day the co-ordinates of the predictors intersect within the 7 -cm isohyet heavy rainfall should be predicted for Bombay within the next 24 hours.
On the mean meridional circulation during the contrasting periods of normal and below normal monsoon activity

Published: April 2022

For the contrasting periods of normal and below normal monsoon activity, the mean  meridional circulation (M.M.C.) over 80 deg. E was computed. It was found that during monsoon months this region is characterized by rising motion over 35 deg. Nand sinking motion over 15 deg. N. During a monsoon break period sinking motion over 15 deg. N is intensified mainly due to local cooling. Strong rising motion occurs over equatorial regions to compensate for this sinking motion.

The ET of some crops In three semi-arid and one dry sub-humid climatic locations of Maharashtra were obtained from climatic parameter~ using the guidelines suggested by Doorenbos and Pruitt {1977). The values were 483-541 mm for kharif rice, 278-373 mm for wheat and 373-447 mm for kharif jowar. When compared, the estimated values with lysimetric observation, the values were in close agreement for rice, lower for wheat and again higher for kharif jowar. A wide variation in crop evapotranspiration was observed from semi-arid to dry sub-humid climates.

Talus Fractures: An Update on Current Concepts in Surgical Management
Authors: Githens Michael , Tangtiphaiboontana Jennifer , Carlock Kurtis , Campbell Sean T.
Published: April 2022

Talus fractures can be challenging injuries to treat because of complex talar shape, an abundance of articular cartilage, a potentially unforgiving soft-tissue envelope, and an easily injured blood supply. In addition, the spectra of energy involved, soft-tissue injury, and the fracture pattern are wide. Temporizing treatment is sometimes required, including débridement of open fractures, reduction of dislocations, and occasionally spanning external fixation. Definitive treatment first requires an understanding of the fracture pattern, including location and fracture line orientation. Multiple options for surgical exposure exist and are selected based on the fracture pattern and condition of the soft tissues. Newer fixation techniques, including the use of fixed-angle and minifragment implants, are useful in achieving stable fixation.

Abstract:

Objective: The increasing frequency of cesarean section (CS) is a major public health issue, and it is on the rise in Pakistan. The study aimed to investigate the frequency of caesarean section and assess the determinants of increasing frequency in three cities of Punjab.

Study design:  A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary hospitals of Faisalabad, Chichawatni and Multan. Period: January 2020 to August 2020.

Material and Methods: Data collection was done by using a self-developed study questionnaire. Results: The study's findings showed that at the time of first delivery, 52% of participants were at the age of 21 to 25 years. About 33% of participants had C-sections due to complications, while 14% preferred C-section without any complication to normal delivery. Relatively lower rates were found among less educated, poor families and in rural areas. A higher rate was observed in well-educated women, women from rich families and the urban regions. The majority of females are found to be totally dependent on their decision of C-section on their gynaecologist.

Conclusion: Overall increasing trend of C- section in selected cities has been observed. Data of the study suggests the need for proper awareness to couples about preoperative and postoperative cares. This will help to reduce both infant mortality rates and maternal mortality rates in Punjab.

Key Words:  Frequency of C-section: Pregnancy complications: C-section: Gestational diabetes
