Published: October 2021

BJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the different treatment predictors which help in the extraction and non-extraction decision of an end-on Class II malocclusion case. METHODOLOGY: The pretreatment records of 240 adult subjects aged 15-40 years with bilateral end-on Class II molar relationship were retrospectively selected and categorized under extraction (120) and non-extraction (120) treatment categories. The extraction cases were planned for different combinations of premolar extractions. The independent variables i.e., the cephalometric and orthodontic cast measurements were obtained from the recruited sample. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied using SPSS software. RESULTS: Increased upper and lower incisor inclinations (p < 0.001) and procumbent upper lip (p = 0.004) was statistically significant in the extraction group. According to the regression model, the odds of extraction treatment were 1.12 times greater than non-extraction treatment for every one degree increase in upper and lower incisor inclinations, respectively. The chances of extraction treatment were 1.6 times higher than non-extraction treatment for every 1 mm increase in the distance of upper lip to S-plane. CONCLUSIONS: The upper and lower incisors inclinations and upper lip position are the critical factors affecting the extraction decision in adult patients with end-on Class II molar relationships. Overjet, dental crowding and the vertical growth pattern were found to be clinically insignificant in opting for an extraction treatment plan for such cases.

Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this paper was to evaluate the marginal location preference and periodontal health in extra coronal restoration of anterior and posterior teeth. METHODOLOGY: In this prospective case control study, a total of 652 patients who had crown and bridge for not less than six months were included. The gingival margin location preference and reasons behind choosing a particular gingival margin was asked from the patients. Additionally, the teeth with and without restoration were also examined for periodontal health. Split mouth technique was used as unrestored, healthy contra lateral teeth in the same individual served as controls. Descriptive statistics and Chi square test were used for analysis to formulate the results. RESULTS: Ironically, 92% patients were not given a chance by their dentist to give input about margin location preference. The majority of patients preferred equi gingival margin for their anterior crowns 495 (75.92%) and supra gingival margin 586 (89.87%) for their posterior teeth, with esthetics 547 (83.89%) and hygiene 599 (91.87%) respectively being the most common reasons for selecting the particular margin location. The clinical examination revealed that supra gingival and equi gingival margins demonstrated superior gingival health indices as compared to subgingival margins CONCLUSION: This study concluded that the supra gingival and equi gingival margins demonstrated superior gingival health indices as compared to subgingival margin and in order to achieve optimal periodontal health and patient satisfaction the health professionals should wisely consider the margin location and involve the patient in treatment decisions wherever possible. KEY WORDS: Crown and Bridge, Margin location, Patient preference, Periodontal Health.

A Comparative Review of Material Properties for Current and Future Dental Filling Nanomaterials
Authors: Eisenstat Joshua , Gotthardt Dennis , Assor Rebecca , Dempsey Liam , Hasan Muhammad Hasibul
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT

Nanomaterials observe specialized properties relative to gross materials. Due to their small size, specialized nanomaterial properties include decreased reactivity, an increased surface area to volume ratio, heightened structural properties, and in some cases, antimicrobial and antibacterial effects. Current researchers are looking to use nanoparticle/nanomaterial properties to solve prevalent dental issues that cannot be addressed with traditionally used materials. This paper will serve as an extensive review of current nanomaterial applications as they pertain to dental fillings and dental filling processes. Comparative assessments of traditional materials used in dental fillings will be made as well as comparative assessments of currently used nanomaterials in dental fillings. Material comparisons are based on criteria pertaining to biocompatibility, toxicity, reactivity, cost, and antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. When comparing the three most currently used dental filling nanomaterials â€“ Carbon-Based Nanotubes, Silica Nanoparticles and Silver-Coated Nanoparticles â€“ it was observed that Silica Nanoparticles demonstrated the greatest material advantage and should be recommended for continued use. Issues regarding future developmental dental filling applications of graphene nanoparticles, organic nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles will also be discussed.

Keywords: Nanomaterials, antibacterial, dental fillings, silica resins, biocompatibility.
Electrochemical Polishing of Extruded and Laser Powder-Bed-Fused Inconel 718
Authors: Jain Srishti , Hyder James , Corliss Mike , Hung Wayne NP
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
Electro-chemical polishing (ECP) was utilized to produce sub-micron surface finish on Inconel 718 parts manufactured by Laser Powder-Bed-Fusion (L-PBF) and extrusion methods. The L-PBF parts had very rough surfaces due to semi-welded powder particles, surface defects, and difference layer steps that were generally not found on surfaces of extruded and machined components. This study compared the results of electro-polishing of these differently manufactured parts under the same conditions. Titanium electrode was used with an acid-based electrolyte to polish both the specimens at different combinations of pulsed current density, duty cycle, and polishing time. Digital 3D optical profiler was used to assess the surface finish, while optical and scanning electron microscopy was utilized to observe the microstructure of polished specimens. At optimal condition, the ECP successfully reduced the surface of L-PBF part from 17 Âµm to 0.25 Âµm; further polishing did not improve the surface finish due to different removal rates of micro-leveled pores, cracks, nonconductive phases, and carbide particles in 3D-printed Inconel 718. The microstructure of extruded materials was uniform and free of processing defects, therefore can be polished consistently to 0.20 Âµm. Over-polishing of extruded material could improve its surface finish, but not for the L-PBF material due to defects and the surrounding micro-strain.

Segregation of Plastic Waste from Solid Waste Stream: Bangladesh Perspective
Authors: Uddin Md Sanuwar , Abedin Mohammad Zoynal
Published: October 2021

Solid waste is an inevitable by-product of human beings, animals and also of industrial-commercial activities. Obviously solid waste creates a greater problem to the environment, if it is not properly managed. Bangladesh being a heavily populated country needs to pay adequate attention to waste management. Waste generation in Bangladesh is increasing because of rapid urbanization and economic development of the country. At present, total solid waste generation in Bangladesh is around 27000 tons/day and in the four important city corporations is about 13,332 tons. Particularly in Dhaka city, it is around 7500 tons/day. This amount is likely to reach about 47000 tons per day in entire Bangladesh and 15000 tons per day for Dhaka city alone by 2030. At present, landfilling is the only method for disposal of heterogeneous waste stream and there are three landfills in Dhaka City. Most of these landfill sites are in open dumps polluting land, water and air. Development of any new landfill site is near to impossible due to land scarcity and increasing of land prices especially in Dhaka City. Improperly disposed waste is posing serious health implications to the people and it may transmit various diseases especially by non-degradable wastes like polythene. Rather, a proper Segregation system to recover of resource from plastic wastes can play a very important role in mitigating the difficulties of solid waste that can act as a raw material for product design in Bangladesh too. Therefore, a comprehensive study report followed by a model of plastic waste segregation system for Bangladesh has been highlighted in the paper.

Authors: Razak Farihana Abdul , Abd Ghadas Zuhairah Ariff , Ghapa Norhasliza
Published: October 2021

This article discussed unfair contract terms, explores the relevant legal theories that underpin the use of unfair contract terms and examines the raison d’etre for using unfair terms in a contract. The qualitative and doctrinal legal research methods were used in this study. Data were obtained through documentation techniques, which included examining and analyzing several journals, books, and other related documents. Based on library research and content analysis of primary and secondary data sources, the findings indicated that the theory put forward by legal philosophers is to ensure that law and society can be balanced. The use of standard form contracts increases the implementation of unfair contract terms; nonetheless, this study found there is raison d’etre in using unfair terms, particularly in the event of safety, security, government regulatory, operational, and health concerns. Therefore, it is hoped that the study will contribute to a knowledge of contract law.

Authors: Micinski Jan , Filipčík Radek , Kuchtik Jan , Marsalek Miroslav , Kopec Tomas
Published: October 2021

Introduction:
In the Czech Republic, there is a deficiency of selenium in sheep due to its low level of occurrence in soil, thus in fodder. Selenium deficiency in these animals can manifest in a number of diseases. Therefore, sheep should be supplemented with preparations containing selenium with vitamin E, because Se is closely related to vitamin E, which plays an important role in the immune system.

Aim:
The aim of the study was to assess the selenium status of selected sheep breeds in the Czech Republic and to determine the effect of selenium and vitamin E supplementation on selected hematological, biochemical and enzymatic blood indicators and on reproductive indicators.

Material and methods:
The research material consisted of sheep, used in the Czech Republic, of three breeds: Šumavka (16), Valaszka (16) and Zwartbles (16). At the 3rd month of gestation, the sheep were injected with sodium selenate with vitamin E. In the blood of sheep, hematological, biochemical and enzymatic parameters were analized, and reproductive indicators of sheep were determined.

Results and discussion:
The concentration of Se in sheep was quite low at the beginning of the experiment (from 0.145 (AVR group) to 0.219 µmol/l (BZR group) and the highest concentration (1.322 µmol/l I BZR group) on the test III. It was shown in experimental groups that with increasing selenium concentration, GSH-Px activity increased from the lowest level of 53.77 (ASR group) to the highes: 222.88 U/gHb (BZR group). In sheep from experimental groups (ASR, AVR, BZR groups) better fertility was obtained, amounting to 96.3%, 95.5%,89.4%, respectively.

Conclusions:
In all groups of sheep there was a selenium deficiency. Supplementation turned out to be an effective method of compensating for its deficiency. The proper selenium status ensured better reproductive indicators for sheep.

Published: October 2021

La Constitución de 2008 del Ecuador reconoce a la naturaleza como titular de derechos; en este contexto, las comunidades que aún conservan sus saberes ancestrales y ecosistemas están experimentando procesos de aculturación, con escasa documentación etnobotánica, lo que implica una pérdida progresiva de la biodiversidad y calidad de vida. Con estos antecedentes el presente estudio pretende realizar un análisis sobre los derechos de la naturaleza y la etnobotánica de siete ajas shuar en la parroquia Nankais, región sur de Ecuador. Con este fin se realizaron talleres participativos y entrevistas con las informantes, para documentar la etnobotánica y manejos realizados en el aja; así también, se realizó el inventario de las ajas (20 ha) para identificar in situ las especies utilizadas por la comunidad. Adicionalmente, se efectuó un análisis basado en el ordenamiento jurídico con énfasis en el derecho de las comunidades de conservar y promover sus prácticas de manejo de la biodiversidad y su entorno natural. Se reportaron 67 especies, 57 géneros y 33 familias botánicas. Las familias más representativas fueron Arecaceae y Solanaceae; se estableció que 20 especies tienen usos medicinales y 18 especies se emplean en la alimentación. Se resalta que la comunidad se beneficia de manera armónica del aprovechamiento de productos forestales no madereros –PFNM– (sumak kawsay) y aplica técnicas de manejo basadas en conocimientos ecológicos tradicionales compatibles con el derecho primordial de la naturaleza a su existencia, el mantenimiento y regeneración de sus ciclos vitales, estructura, funciones y procesos evolutivos consagrados en el ordenamiento jurídico ecuatoriano e internacional.

Langkah awal untuk meningkatkan kualitas RTH membutuhkan kajian yang matang terkait dengan kegiatan yang akan dilakukan agar hasil pembangunan diperoleh dari analisis yang mendalam dan utuh. Agar hasil pekerjaan sesuai dengan harapan dan seragam maka diperlukan suatu standar dalam pelaksanaan suatu pekerjaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi klasifikasi dan kriteria taman kota yang ramah anak dan masyarakat serta menyusun standar prasarana taman dan keindahan kota ideal sesuai kebutuhan, termasuk jenis taman (RTH dan RTNH), standarisasi pekerjaan pemeliharaan taman, dan pekerjaan pemeliharaan kapasitas kerja. Taman-taman yang tersebar ini tidak terklasifikasi dengan baik sehingga seringkali saat menghitung kebutuhan SFM di bidang pemeliharaan taman, Anda tidak dapat menggunakan satu referensi untuk luas taman yang sesuai dengan klasifikasinya. Menyesuaikan area perawatan dengan persyaratan situs atau taman itu sendiri merupakan bagian penting dari seni dan ilmu manajemen taman dan bahkan dapat memberikan formula atau spesifikasi standar yang pasti yang dapat diterapkan pada jenis taman atau lanskap tertentu. Pemeliharaan dan perawatan rutin suatu kawasan lanskap akan sangat mempengaruhi penampilan lanskap itu sendiri, dan juga mempengaruhi nilainya sebagai kenyamanan (fasilitas) bahkan dalam jangka panjang akan sangat mempengaruhi komunitas tumbuhan dan alam secara keseluruhan. Hal ini benar karena pemeliharaan merupakan upaya untuk menjaga keindahan dan fungsi suatu lanskap atau taman.

Authors: Rahman Yulia , Ritonga Abdul Rahman
Published: October 2021

This study aims to explain that religious learning held in public schools is able to instill the values of nationalism and Islam, thus forming the character of students of insan kamil.

The research method used is a mix-method research with qualitative analysis and a sociological approach. The conclusion of this study is that religious learning, both in terms of material and methodology, is able to instill the value of religious-nationalism. The internalization of the values of nationalism-religion is applied in PAI (Islamic) learning in the classroom which is guided by teachers, and religious learning in Rohis which is guided by mentors
