Published: August 2024

The literature to date has not reported a clear consensus on the optimal length of fiberglass posts for efficient clinical performance when restoring endodontically treated maxillary incisors with severe crown destruction. This study aimed to determine the stress distribution of fiberglass posts at different lengths using finite element analysis. Five 3D finite element models (groups A-E) were created, each representing a restoration system for endodontically treated maxillary central incisors. The models included post-core crowns with crown-root ratios of 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 4/5, and 1/1. A static load of 100N force was applied to the palatal surface at 45º to the long axis of the tooth. Von Mises values and | maximum stresses in the crown, dentin, resin cement, and post-core were evaluated separately. The maximum stress experienced was A < C < B < E < D. Von Mises stresses were located in the upper and middle buccal thirds and in the apical palatal third of post A, as well as the upper and middle buccal thirds in posts B, C, D, and E. The lowest distribution of maximum and Von Mises stresses was observed in model A.

Published: August 2024

Objectives and Study: Chronic kidney diseases in childhood are with variable etiology and clinical presentation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the chronic kidney diseases over the psychical status  of  these  children  and  their  close  relatives  and  to make  assessment  how  the  disease  intergrades  with  their  neuro-psychological  development  and quality of life. Methods: 36 children aged from 7-18  with different chronic kidney diseases and a group of 36 adults (their close relatives) are included in the study (gr.A). The control group consists of 36 children with acute kidney diseases and their parents (gr.B). The parents were interviewed after a preliminary conversation and the Zung depression scale was assessed. In children, the EPQ Ayzenk test was performed after a preliminary talk and interview. Psychological tests of the children and adults were performed when the diagnosis was established and in 12-months intervals.  Results: In the group of sick children(gr.A) a tendency towards isolation was observed and reduction of contacts. Manifestations of moderate depressive reactions were established in the group of parents when the diagnosis of their child was established.In the course of complex treatment of the chronic kidney disease reduction of parents’ depression was observed. Conclusions: The psychological disturbances are more discreet in children with chronic kidney diseases, while in the group of adults they are more significant to well-expressed. The communication and work of well-trained psychologists with the parents and children would help them to be more adaptive.

Authors: E. Dimitrov  , G. Minkov  , E. Enchev  , Y. Yovtchev
Published: August 2024

Purpose: There is still no comprehensive analysis with Bulgarian patients investigating the association between perioperative clinical parameters and final outcome in the early phase of complicated intra-abdominal infection.
Methods: This single-center prospective study was conducted in the Clinic of Surgical Diseases at the University Hospital Stara-Zagora for the period November 2018 - August 2021. Before surgery and on the 3rd postoperative day (POD) we measured axillary temperature (t), systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), mental status and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in 62 patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs).
Results: Of the 62 patients, nine died (14.5%). Preoperatively, only MAP successfully discriminated survivors from non-survivors (p = 0.027), which was confirmed by the ROC Curve analysis (AUROC = 0.731). Postoperatively, almost all of the clinical parameters except axillary temperature (AUROC = 0.573) showed prognostic ability – SBP (AUROC = 0.779) and MAP (AUROC = 0.864) for prediction of favorable outcome, HR (AUROC = 0.916) and RR (AUROC = 0.935) for prediction of lethal outcome.
Conclusion: All investigated clinical parameters, except for axillary temperature, demonstrated the ability to predict the final outcome on the 3rd POD in patients with cIAIs.

“O corpo é uma fonte de amostras”: Uma análise da conceptualização do corpo como objeto médico-científico na legislação portuguesa sobre biobancos
Authors: Riso Brigida
Published: August 2024

Os biobancos são repositórios de amostras biológicas humanas associadas a registos médicos, recolhidos de forma sistemática, para serem utilizados em investigação biomédica. Apesar de comum as práticas de colecionismo médico e por parte dos investigadores das ciências da vida, o crescimento destas atividades veio trazer para o debate as questões sociais, éticas e legais da recolha e armazenamento de “partes do corpo” e amostras biológicas a serem utilizadas em investigação.
Neste artigo, pretende-se explorar os sentidos sociais e simbólicos atribuídos ao corpo no contexto da recolha e armazenamento de amostras biológicas para investigação – como este é conceptualizado, organizado e vigiado, bem como a que atores e que referencias se encontram por detrás dessa organização.
Deste modo, a partir de uma análise da legislação com recurso a CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) foi possível explorar o corpo como uma fornte de dados biológicos e informacionais, que se constitui como um objeto médico-científico necessário à produção de saber médico. Apesar da salvaguarda dos direitos dos dadores de amostras biológicas, o protagonismo da medicina é evidente quer na conceção do corpo, quer na sua administração.

Navigating Blended Teaching Post-COVID: Insights From Language Teachers
Authors: Tran-Thi-Thanh Truc
Published: August 2024

This study aims to investigate how higher education instructors perceive remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic and how prepared they were technologically to implement blended teaching in the wake of the epidemic. A quantitative approach was used, and information was gathered from 53 instructors at a Vietnam national university using questionnaires. The findings indicate that workload is the most difficult obstacle teachers face when teaching remotely, followed by issues on virtual communication with students, teachers' challenges in effectively employing technology in the classroom, and mental health issues due to social distancing. Despite encountering these challenges, most of the experiment's educators strongly endorse the adoption of blended teaching in response to the epidemic, expressing confidence in their technological readiness facilitated by institutional training. The results show that in order for higher education institutions to successfully adopt blended learning in the future, they need to be concerned with lowering the burden of their teachers, giving them training courses on technology pedagogy and providing stress management workshops.
The Development of Blended Learning Model Combined With Project-Based Learning Model in Indonesian Students’ Scientific Writing
Authors: Oktarina Santi
Published: August 2024

This research aims to describe the practicality of the blended learning model combined with the project-based learning model when Indonesian students write scientific papers.  This research employs the research and development method but focuses only on the small group testing stage. The subjects of this research are students taking scientific writing courses in the study program of Indonesian Language and Literature Education, Indonesia. The data were collected through tests, a questionnaire, and an interview and analyzed by means of qualitative and quantitative techniques. The research results show that in general, this learning model is practical to be used in learning scientific writing. Furthermore, the post-test results show significantly higher scores than those of the pre-test results in students' scientific writing (34.59). Additionally, based on the results of the questionnaire distributed to students, all components of the blended learning model combined with the project-based learning model that have been developed, namely the learning structure, reaction principles, social systems, and support systems are considered by students to be appropriate and very appropriate. However, the results of the interview reveal that there are weaknesses in the learning model being developed. These weaknesses will be addressed so that its effectiveness is well tested in the next stage, namely the large group test.
Fallacy as a Strategy of Argumentation in Political Debates
Authors: Abbas Nawal F. , Muslah Alham F. , Najem Afrah S.
Published: August 2024

This study aims to study argumentation in political debates by figuring out the logical fallacies employed in the debates of Clinton and Trump, the presidential nominees of the 2016 elections, and Biden and Trump, the leading contenders in the 2020 United States presidential election. The study attempts to answer the questions: (1) What relevance fallacies are adopted in the debate between Trump and Clinton? (2) What rhetorical devices are used to influence the audience and gain voters besides fallacies in the debates selected? The study analyses two texts from two arguments using Damer's (2009) taxonomy of relevance fallacy and rhetorical devices based on Perrine’s (1969) model of communication and interpersonal rhetoric to answer the two research questions. The significance of the pragma-rhetorical study of political debates resides in the role of investigating the pragmatic and rhetorical structure of political debates selected to encourage critical thinking, promote informed decision-making, and build a more effective and substantive political conversation. The analysis revealed that unlike Hillary, Trump uses the wrong reason, conclusion, and genetic fallacy and appeals to irrelevant authority and common opinion. Biden uses rationalisation, appealing to outside authority, and using the wrong reason. In terms of rhetoric, Trump, Clinton, and Biden all employ overstatement rather than other rhetorical devices to boost the shortcomings of their competitors and show them as unreliable in leading America in crisis. Other devices are absent except ‘understatement’, which appears for once, referring to the government's weak response to the crisis of COVID-19.
Environmental Exploitation in the Colonial Period: An Ecocritical Analysis of Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Buru Quartet
Authors: Darsono  , Fahruddin  , Birsyada Muhammad Iqbal , Judijanto Loso , Muslim Asbullah , Saefudin Arif , Saddhono Kundharu
Published: August 2024

Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Buru Island Tetralogy (The Buru Quartet), consisting of four novels, provides deep insights into the social, political, and implicit ecological impacts of colonialism in Indonesia. This research aims to analyse the themes of environmental exploitation narrated in the novels, providing an ecocritical perspective on colonial practices and their impact on environmental sustainability and social justice. This research method uses an ecocritical framework approach with an in-depth reading of the novel's text. This approach explores and interprets how Toer portrays colonial history and its impact on the environment. The results show that an ecocritical study of the Buru Quartet reveals the complex interactions between humans, political systems, and the ecological environment monopolised by Dutch colonialism. Although the novel's main focus is racial and social injustice, it also includes ecological aspects, such as exploiting natural resources through forced cultivation by Dutch colonials, drastically changing the local landscape and biodiversity. This study reveals how colonialism was not only socially and politically oppressive but also played a crucial role in damaging the ecology of colonised areas. The implications of this study are mainly related to the importance of understanding literature as a means of reflection and critique on environmental and colonial issues. In the current global context, where issues of exploitation and environmental degradation are still highly relevant, works such as The Buru Quartet offer important insights into how historical and ecological narratives can converge to critique environmentally unsustainable development models.

Published: August 2024

This research discusses the perspective of teachers and students in the eastern coastal region of Indonesia toward online learning as a means for language learning. Participants in the study included 50 teachers and 35 students from different high schools in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study applied a semi-structured interview for data collection to explore the teachers and students’ perceptions of online learning and then analyzed the data qualitatively through description. Moreover, the interview data were also transcribed and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The four data themes that this study examined were: (1) participants’ reactions to online instruction; (2) participants’ limits in online instruction; (3) participants’ approach to overcoming obstacles; and (4) participants’ utilization of technology. The findings demonstrated that, by fostering independent learning and increasing student willingness to learn, teachers and students in Indonesia's rural eastern coastline region were able to adjust to online learning concerning second language acquisition. This study addressed a concern that many participants had when learning online: the use of digital technology, which is seen as challenging to acquire and apply. In light of the geographical difficulties and facility issues associated with online learning, this study highlights the significance of having mental and emotional support from peers, parents, and teachers.

Alternative feedstuffs for swine in Colombia: what are our options?
Authors: Agudelo Jorge Hernán
Published: August 2024

Summary
Both the increasing demand of grains for food and the recent ethanol crisis have an economic impact on swine producers in many countries, including Colombia. The continuous increase in grain and corn prices push swine nutritionists everywhere to search for alternative energy feedstuffs in order to provide adequate feed to pigs. Colombia, where a variety of crops are grown, lacks effective alternative feedstuffs to replace corn, which is widely used as the main energy ingredient in common animal diets. The major limitations presented by those crops or products and their derived materials are usually their high water or high fiber contents, or both, particularly in the way they are made available from agricultural production and the food industry.

Published: August 2024

Graph polynomials captured the interest of discrete mathematicians in recent years. The idea of graph polynomial is representing a graph structure by a polynomial capturing the number of substructures. The structure-neighborhood polynomial surfaced recently as a bivariate polynomial which clusters the structures with some specified neighborhood properties. In 2016, the balanced biclique polynomial was introduced. Recently, the balanced biclique independent neighborhood polynomials have been investigated for several graphs. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of the 3D plot of cycle graph polynomial representations for varying orders of the structure. Moreover, we investigate the balanced biclique independent neighborhood polynomial of stars and visualize the graph polynomials in 3D.

Published: August 2024

Background. Crisis phenomena is an integral part of the functioning of business entities in modern conditions. The ability to identify, classify and counteract crises in a timely manner is a key to sustainability and competitiveness. The existence of completely different conceptual approaches to defining concept of "crisis" and its classification complicates the development of effective management tools. Methods. To systematise the existing approaches to the concept of "crisis" and approaches to the classification of crises, a content analysis of definitions and typologies presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors was carried out. With the help of structural and logical analysis, the key components of the content of the concept of "crisis" were identified. By means of comparison and analogy, the article identifies common and distinctive features in the interpretation of the essence of crisis phenomena by different economists. Based on a thorough analysis of the pros and cons of existing classifications of crises, the author's substantiated approach to classify using induction and deduction . Results. Based on the systematisation of scientific sources, the author's definition of "crisis" is formulated, which combines the key aspects of the definitions presented in the literature and conceptually reflects the essence of crisis phenomena. An improved classification of crises is proposed on the basis of the place of origin, sphere of influence, scale, predictability, regularity and state of progress, which allows a comprehensive classification of crises. Conclusions. The conducted research allowed systematising the existing approaches to defining the concept of "crisis" and their classification in the activities of business entities and formulating the author's own definition of crisis as a stage in the functioning of a system caused by external and/or internal factors, characterised by a disturbance of equilibrium, destabilisation of processes, aggravation of contradictions and the threat of destruction or impossibility of further existence as usual. The author proposes a comprehensive classification of crises by place of origin, influence, scale, predictability, regularity and state of progress, which allows classifying crisis phenomena.

B a c k g r o u n d. In the modern economic environment significant importance is given to state financial control, which is undergoing modernization as one of the components of the state finance system. Currently, the situation in this area is quite unfavorable due to military conflict and aggression from russia, corruption, ineffective management, low economic development, and citizen income. One of the way to enhance the effectiveness of state financial control, enabling a transition to a higher standard, is through the implementation of widespread State Internal Financial Control (SIFK). This can be achieved by establishing a risk-oriented internal control system and the integrating risk management into the all aspects of the institution's operations. M e t h o d s. The basis of the research is the use of various methods including methods of logical generalization to identify the primary objectives of internal control and factors affecting the organization of the FSFC system in a budgetary institution; analysis method to assess the current state and future development of the PSFK in budgetary institutions, relevant regulatory acts, and scholarly publications on the reform of internal financial control; comparison method to examine the structural components of internal audit and internal control in budgetary institutions, along with tabular methods and grouping to highlight positive trends and common deficiencies in the organization and enforcement of internal control in institutions. R e s u l t s. The study proved that the implementation process of the Internal Audit Service in Ukraine is progressing in line with the commitments made within the framework of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. In most state bodies (almost 90%), the implementation of the internal audit function and overall effectiveness of such activities are ensured. This includes 127 units in the apparatus of state bodies, 148 units in territorial bodies, and 121 divisions in budgetary institutions. Measures are being taken to adjust and gradually increase the number/proportion of internal audits to assess effectiveness. С o n c l u s i o n s. The need for further improvement of the FDFC system in budgetary institutions is justified based on the proposed strategic directions and elements to enhance managerial accountability at all levels of the public sector and increase the effectiveness of internal control and internal audit in budgetary institutions taking into account international practices.

Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, DERUN Ivan , Mysaka Hanna ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: August 2024

Background. Due to the demand of stakeholders for information about social and environmental aspects of business, the system of social accounting and reporting (SAR) has become important in promoting the ideology of sustainable development at the micro-level. Conducting SAR research provides socio-ecological reporting practices with a theoretical basis for further development and improvement. The bibliometric evaluation of SAR publications enables the identification of promising trends in the research domain evolution, which will accelerate its effective development. The article aims to substantiate the issues of further research on reporting, which is compiled according to the data of social accounting, based on the analysis of bibliometric characteristics and the assessment of trends in the evolution of the topic of scientific publications on SAR. Methods. Bibliometric methods of scientific productivity and thematic and chronological clustering of keywords have been applied to a combined sample of 401 SAR articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science from 1970 to 2023. Results. The aggravation of ecological and social problems has made SAR topics relevant for scientists from all continents after 2007. Authors from developed countries, who initiated this research domain, have the highest number of articles and citations. The analysis of the scientific productivity of the domain indicates a significant impact of its ideas on related scientific areas. Organizational and legal aspects of social accounting, modeling social accounting matrices and issues related to environmental accounting and sustainability reporting are the most significant thematic areas within SAR domain. Conclusions. According to the chronology of its appearance and evolution, the scientific ideas of SAR are significantly ahead of the sustainability concept as a worldview ideology of the 21st century. The SAR domain has a high level of autonomy in the formation and development of thematic research areas. The implementation of Directive 2022/2464/EU can stimulate the use of social accounting tools and as well as activate research on the impact of sustainability reporting on corporate governance effectiveness and firm performance.

Evaluating the results of the use of medical expulsive therapy, for urolithiasis in children, it was noted that alpha-1-blockers can significantly stone expulsion rate and shorter expulsion time. Side effects when using this method are insignificant. They include: headache, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension or nasal congestion.
Conclusion. The expediency of using medical expulsive therapy is due to the high efficiency and safety of alpha-1-blockers in urolithiasis in children. In Russia, the use of adrenergic receptor blockers for medical expulsive therapy in children with urolithiasis is currently not allowed.
Presse, littérature et politique pendant le premier romantisme: critique littéraire et pensée libérale en France (1815-1830)
Authors: Anjos Yuri Cerqueira dos
Published: August 2024

Dans le cadre de l’histoire littéraire des débuts du romantisme français, l’opposition entre le classicisme des libéraux et le romantisme des royalistes est un thème fondamental. La critique a souvent interprété cette situation comme un “malentendu” où ceux qui prônaient la liberté en politique étaient conservateurs en littérature et vice versa. Cependant, il est possible de s’interroger plus profondément sur les liens entre libéralisme politique et classicisme littéraire en France. Pour ce faire, nous nous penchons dans cet article sur la presse libérale de la Restauration (1815-1830), notamment sur le grand quotidien Le Constitutionnel. Ce corpus nous permet de décortiquer la polysémie du mot “liberté”, polysémie sur laquelle semble se fonder la diversité des positionnements politico-littéraires de l’époque. Plus qu’une simple “bizarrerie”, le classicisme des libéraux se révèle une posture cohérente. À partir de cette analyse nous pourrons mieux comprendre la forte résistance au romantisme lors des premières années de ce mouvement en France.
La transculturación de la guerra interna peruana en tres traducciones de Abril rojo de Santiago Roncagliolo
Authors: Snauwaert Erwin
Published: August 2024

Este artículo analiza cómo la representación de la guerra interna peruana que hace Santiago Roncagliolo en Abril rojo (2007) es traducida al francés, al inglés y al portugués brasileño. La ambigüedad de este conflicto pasa en el original por la parodia de los discursos limeño y serrano, que respectivamente toman cuerpo en el formalismo excesivo de unos informes procedentes de las instituciones oficiales y en un deficiente uso de la lengua por parte de un pretendido adepto de Sendero Luminoso. Por su aspecto ‘adecuado’, la versión brasileña procede a la transculturación del carácter ambivalente de la guerra interna mientras la traducción inglesa y sobre todo la francesa se hacen de manera ‘aceptable’ ajustando esta realidad a los arquetipos vigentes en las correspondientes culturas receptoras
Espressionismo e umoralità in Carlo Emilio Gadda
Authors: Rusconi Fabrizio , Lombardi Andrea
Published: August 2024

L’articolo che segue si propone un’analisi del concetto di espressionismo letto attraverso la categoria di “scrittura umorale”. Non siamo interessati, tuttavia, alle problematiche psicologiche o biografiche che questo aspetto sembra sottendere e nemmeno come queste vengano attivate o sussunte sul piano della rappresentazione romanzesca. Interesse di questo studio è semmai cogliere come l’umoralità, nella scrittura gaddiana, si estrinseca, quali strategie inaugura, quali risorse retoriche e narrative attivi. Punto di partenza sarà la definizione di espressionismo data da Gianfranco Contini (c1989a), e quella di “umorismo” di Pirandello (2004). In seguito tenteremo una lettura di due estratti dai testi gaddiani nei quali umoralità e espressionismo sono evidenti fenomeni di stile e di scrittura.

Published: August 2024

Introducción: La duodenopancreatectomía cefálica o cirugía de Whipple ha sido el procedimiento quirúrgico electivo como tratamiento de las patologías neoplásicas de páncreas, duodeno y vías biliares. A pesar de los avances en técnicas quirúrgicas continúa siendo un gran desafío el manejo multidisciplinario. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio analítico, retrospectivo, de corte transversal, de pacientes postoperados de duodenopancreatectomía cefálica mayores de 18 años, ingresados a una unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, de enero de 2022 a julio de 2023. Variables evaluadas: características sociodemográficas (edad, sexo); comorbilidades asociadas; variables de interés en UCI (SOFA, APACHE, días de internación en UTI, días de internación hospitalaria, requerimiento de Intubación orotraqueal IOT, días de IOT, requerimiento de vasopresores), desenlace en UTI; variables de interés quirúrgicas: duración de la cirugía, complicaciones quirúrgicas. Resultados: Se incluyeron 24 pacientes. La media de edad: 66 años (mín:35; Máx: 85; RIC: 59-77); 14 (58%) sexo femenino. Comorbilidades más frecuentes: Hipertensión arterial 17 (71%), Diabetes Mellitus 26 (25%), Cardiopatía 3. SOFA al ingreso media de 4; (mín:1; Máx: 11; DS:3); APACHE al ingreso: media de 15; (mín:6; Máx: 24; DS: 4); media de internación en UTI fue de 6 días (mín:1; Máx: 68; DS: 14). Se constataron 5 (21%) óbitos. Factores asociados a la mortalidad el uso de vasopresores (p=0,013), insuficiencia renal aguda (p=0,009), infección del sitio quirúrgico (p=0,023), y una media de SOFA estimada en 9 (p=0,0012). Conclusión: Es fundamental el manejo multidisciplinario de pacientes sometidos a cirugía de Whipple a fin de optimizar los resultados, previniendo la aparición de complicaciones, y disminuyendo de esta forma la morbimortalidad de los mismos.

HUMAN TUMOR RESPIRATION
Authors: Corredor Carlos , De Plata Cecilia , Badel Jorge , Montoya Julio Cesar
Published: August 2024

71 malignant and 20 benign human tumors were tested as to their capability of oxygen utilization using endogenous substrates or either glucose or glutamine or a combination of these two energy substrates. It was found that tumor oxygen uptake did not differ significantly from that of peritumoral tissues excised in the same chirurgical procedure. No difference was found in glucose and glutamine uptake between tumoral and peritumoral tissues, but it was shown that glutamine decreases glucose uptake while glucose increases glutamine uptake in tumors. It was demonstrated that the radioactive label from glucose could be found in CO2 showing that there is not a complete uncoupling of glycolysis and tricarboxylic acids cycle in human tumors. It is proposed that the typical increased lactate production in tumors might be due to inhibition of reduced equivalent shuttles between cytoplasm and mitochondria concomittant with a non-controlled phosphofructokinase.
NUEVA INFLACION Y RESTRICCIONES AL POTENCIAL EFECTIVO DE SU (5)
Authors: De Greiff Alexis , Tejeiro Juan Manuel
Published: August 2024

En primer término, se hace una revisión detallada del modelo estándar de la cosmología y de sus principales problemas. A partir de la solución de Sitter se presenta el modelo inflacionario. Se muestra el cálculo de las cotas que impone la cosmología de la "nueva inflación" a los parámetros del potencial efectivo de Coleman-Weinberg para SU(5). Se encuentra que las restricciones más fuertes, i.e. las impuestas por las fluctuaciones de la densidad de energía, son comunes para los potenciales de la forma general λΦ4.

NON LINEAR TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF THE EEG DURING SLEEP
Authors: Campos David H.
Published: August 2024

I calculate the fractal dimension and the largest Lyapunov exponent for the human electroencephalogram (EEG) during sleep. For this purpose I assume that the EEG is generated by a deterministic nonlinear dynamical system. Slight differences among sorne sleep stages are found. The used method is thoroughly described and for completeness it includes how to find part of the Lyapunov exponents spectrum, Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and Lyapunov dimension. I also discuss sorne results that apparently challenge the belief that the EEG is solely generated by a deterministic nonlinear dynamical system.
