Распространенная ошибка при строительстве объектов
Authors: Соколов Н.С.
Published: April 2024

Строительство объектов в стесненных условиях требует особого подхода, связанного с необходимостью разработки и осуществления мероприятий по обеспечению безаварийной эксплуатации зданий окружающей застройки в пределах геотехнического влияния. Зачастую строители пренебрегают влиянием технологии возведения нового объекта на возможные негативные последствия (появившиеся трещины на фасадах вследствие неравномерных осадок, кренов и т.д.) эксплуатируемых зданий. До сих пор муссируется понятие "минимальной цены" при возведении части здания ниже нулевой отметки. При таком подходе полностью пренебрегается понятием "технической целессобразности". При этом строители идут на любые ухищрения для уменьшения стоимости. Такой "иррациональный" способ строительства в конечном итоге может привести к существенному удорожанию строительства нулевой части здания и, как правило, к увеличению сроков возведения (согласования нового проекта в результате замены на другую геотехническую технологию, прохождение новой строительной экспертизы). В рассматриваемой статье рассматривается один негативный случай из геотехнической практики строительства 16 этажного жилого дома рядом с существующим пятиэтажным жилым домом.
Расчет осадок фундаментов при повышенных нагрузках
Authors: Соколов Н.С.
Published: April 2024

Большой опыт эксплуатации и результаты длительных наблюдений за осадками большеразмерных фундаментов при повышенных на них нагрузках показывают, что фактические осадки оказались значительно больше расчетных величин, определенных по формуле расчета осадки основанной на модели линейно-деформируемого слоя конечной толщины. Материал фактических осадок построенных объектов показывает, что кривые осадок состоят из линейного и нелинейного участков. Линейный участок имеет место для среднесжимаемых грунтов в первой половине среднего давления PIImt. При PIImt больше 250÷300 кПа начинается возрастание скорости осадки в процессе роста нагрузки до полной ее расчетной величины. Затем скорость осадки переходит в стадию стабилизации. Возрастание скоростей осадок на нелинейном участке следует объяснить возрастанием роли горизонтальных перемещений в общей деформации основания.
Технология обеспечения устойчивости ограждения котлована
Authors: Соколов Н.С.
Published: April 2024

При строительстве зданий и сооружений на неустойчивых склонах возни-кает необходимость разработки геотехнических технологий обеспечивающих их устойчивость. Кроме того должны быть разработаны геотехнические приемы обеспечения безопасной эксплуатации существующих объектов возведенных на них. Как правило, отрытие любого котлована влечет возникновение дополнительных усилий уменьшающих устойчивость склонов. Задача обеспечения устойчивости стенок котлована совместно с нагрузками на его бровках, а также общей устойчивости склона в целом является актуальной задачей современного геотехнического строительства.

Introduction: Comprehensive analysis is necessary to analyze the widespread use of bisphosphonate drugs in the treatment and prevention of various diseases of connective tissue structures. The relevance of the study depends on the impact they have on the patient’s somatic condition, given the number of early and late complications diagnosed by domestic and foreign clinicians.

Materials and methods: The methodology used was developed on Stavropol Regional Clinical Hospital from 2010 to 2022. A randomized and observational study of the state of connective tissue structures was conducted in 186 patients who had a history of taking zoledronic acid and developed bisphosphonate osteonecrosis of the jawbone. At the diagnostic and treatment stages, patients were tested using laboratory methods to monitor amino acids in biological fluids (blood), as well as bone blocks extracted intraoperatively using highly effective gas-liquid chromatography on AAA 500.

Results and discussion: Aminograms obtained in the pre-operative period indicate toxic effects of zoledronic acid on neuro, endocrine, and other human systems. The initiation and progression of aseptic inflammatory processes in tissue structures is correlated with the deteriorating general ocular status of patients when amino acids, such as alanine, serine, taurine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, proline, histidine, glycine, and valine, against a background of 90.4±2.1 mmol/L ammonia are reduced critically.

Conclusion: Zoledronic acid initiates an aseptic chronic inflammatory process in the jaw bones, accompanied by toxic acidosis, which worsens osteoporotic symptoms.
Brain Rhythm Waves Pattern before Waking Up in Children: A Single-Center Study
Authors: Jalilolghadr Shabnam , Ghodsi Mersedeh
Published: April 2024

Background and Objective: After going through the alpha wave before waking, a person usually enters the conscious phase physiologically by opening the eyes and communicating with the environment. We conducted the present study to investigate the brain rhythm wave pattern before waking up among the children admitted to the sleep clinic at Ghods Children's Hospital, Qazvin, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated 42 children without physical or acute respiratory diseases for brain rhythm wave patterns, 15 seconds before waking up. Data were analyzed manually from the poly- somnography (PSG) recorded during sleep. Then, we divided the children into two groups based on the results of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), i.e., mild to moderate and severe AHI. The frequency of brain waves before waking up on epochs 30s, 10s, and 1s were checked between the two groups statistically.
Results: Alpha waves appeared before waking up as the principal brain waves. The frequency of alpha waves went through a decreasing rate until they reached 10 Hz, and then the child woke up. We observed three repetitions of 10 Hz frequencies before waking up for both groups of low-moderate and high AHI.
Conclusion: Awakening happens with a specific trigger of alpha waves in the occipital lobe in the N2 phase at a 10 Hz frequency.
Validity and Reliability of a Self-Report Likert-Type Measure of Nightmare Frequency
Authors: Kelly William E
Published: April 2024

Background and Objective: Nightmare frequency is typically measured using interval and ordinal, but rarely Likert- type, scales. The current study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of a Likert-type measure of retrospective nightmare frequency.
Materials and Methods: Participants included a convenience sample of undergraduate students. They completed a recent- ly developed Likert-type nightmare frequency item, an established Nightmare Frequency Scale, an estimate of nightmare frequency over the past week, and measures of hypothetically related variables including neuroticism, psychological dis- tress, and trauma symptoms. Convergent and discriminant validity was evaluated through relationships between the Likert- type nightmare frequency item with other nightmare measures and hypothetically related variables. Reliability was esti- mated using a correction for attenuation approach designed to provide a conservative estimate of single-item reliability.
Results: The sample included 233 (119 female, 51.1%; 114 male, 48.9%) university students (mean age: 19.05 ± 1.91). The average convergent validity coefficient between the Likert-type nightmare frequency item and other nightmare measures (r = 0.647) was significantly different (z = 5.45, P < 0.001) from its average correlation coefficient with hypo- thetically related measures (r = 0.256). The single-item reliability coefficient was 0.722.
Conclusion: The reliability and convergent and discriminant validity of the Likert-type nightmare frequency item were supported.

Authors: Motevalizadeh Tahereh , Rezaei Fatemeh , Sadeghniiat Haghighi Khosro , Sepahvand Mohammad Ali
Published: April 2024

Background and Objective: Insomnia is the most common sleep problem which is associated with cortical over- excitation. Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) potentially modifies insomnia-related cortical state. There- fore, we tested the hypothesis that insomnia severity can be modulated by tDCS.
Materials and Methods: The current study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. A total of 32 women with insomnia were randomly categorized into an intervention group (active stimulation) and a control group (sham stimulation). In the intervention group, tDCS ‎was used with an intensity of 2mA for 20 to 30 minutes during 12 sessions (3 times a week). Anodal stimulation was performed‎on the left primary motor cortex (M1) and cathodal stimulation was performed‎on the right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The control group received sham stim- ulation for 20 to 30 minutes during 12 sessions (3 times a week). All participants were evaluated before and after the intervention using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS).
Results: The results of univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed a significant difference between the tDCS group and the sham group in terms of reduction in the severity of insomnia. We also observed that positive affect increased and negative affect decreased following insomnia treatment (P ≤ 0.005).
Conclusion: The results of our study indicated that performing our designed tDCS protocol for treating insomnia can be effective in treating insomnia and improving positive and negative affect.

Metaphysics of the Point: the Path to the Transcendental
Authors: Perekrestova Anastasia V.
Published: April 2024

The philosophical, religious and mystical content of the concept “point” is considered, appealing to the transcendental, which finds expression and justification in the ontological views of thinkers of various directions and eras. The metaphysical meaning of the point is revealed through the images of the beginning, center, and limit, correlated with the source and first principle of the universe in different concepts. It is shown that this element, as the smallest fragment of existence, minimally involved in the universe, appears to be the optimal symbol that is capable of hinting in the material world at the supersensible reality - God. It is noted that the point often correlates with the category of the non-existent in the metaphysical approach - being a zero-dimensional object, it acts as a negation of space-time forms, identified with zero and nothingness, which naturally leads to the idea of the Absolute. Theological and esoteric interpretations of the point, emphasizing the antinomy and paradoxical of its nature, present such element as a sign of divine attributes, uniting fundamental opposites and contradictions. The author demonstrates on the basis of what parameters and characteristics the point symbol becomes not only a universal ontological concept, but is also perceived in a mystical way, referring to the sphere of the transcendent.
The United States of America on the Way to Restrictionism in Immigration Policy (The Second Half of the 19th – Early 20th Century)
Authors: Grechishkina Sophia A.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the reasons and arguments that influenced and justified the adoption of the restrictive policy of the USA in the 20th century. Reliance on the reports of the USA Congress, census data, publications of contemporaries, political and scientific leaders of the country, as well as periodicals allowed us to consider the dynamics of the development of USA migration policy in the 19th – 20th centuries. A key factor in the dissemination of demands to limit migration flows has become a mental construct based on stereotypes, private experiences and position covered in the media. The feeling of threat from the American society was justified by the differences in the culture, language, and customs of migrants, which prevented high-quality integration into the host society. The peculiarities of the economic situation of the United States, taking into account cyclical crises, provided a rational explanation for the introduction of a restrictive migration policy.
Highlanders on the Side of the Russian Empire in the Armed Confrontation in the Caucasus
Authors: Kuvshinov Alexey N.
Published: April 2024

The article reveals the circumstances of recruiting highlanders of the North Caucasus to serve in the ranks of the Russian army during the period of expansion of imperial power in the region. The Russian government saw this practice as a way to reduce their hostile belligerence, which they tried to use in their own interests. The motivation of people who agreed to swear allegiance to the state and fight against its enemies with arms in hand is analyzed. The difficulty of the choice was due to the fact that the enemy in this case could be co-religionists who did not want to recognize the new order established by Russia. There were frequent cases of going over to the enemy's side. This applied both to those highlanders who swore allegiance to the empire and to their rivals. The Russian command has not formed an unambiguous assessment of the effectiveness of such measures. There were those who expressed uncertainty about the loyalty of the police units involved. Others, on the contrary, saw this as serious assistance, strengthening the capabilities of the regular army. It seems that the main result of this practice was the gradual formation of a new perception of reality among the highlanders, and over time they began to feel themselves part of the imperial community.
Guaranteeing of Labour Rights when Performing a Labour Function Outside the Employer’s Location
Authors: Rudchenko Eugen
Published: April 2024

Article 43 of the Constitution of Ukraine declares the right of everyone to work, which includes the opportunity to earn a living by work that he freely chooses or freely agrees to. In particular, the legislator focuses on the state’s responsibility for creating conditions that facilitate the realisation of the right to work, prohibiting forced labour, ensuring proper and safe working conditions, guaranteeing decent wages, timely payment of wages, and protection against unlawful dismissal. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020, forced the legislator to respond to new circumstances. Atypical forms of performance of the labour function became a new reality for millions of Ukrainians, even after the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine. The article focuses on examining the issue of ensuring compliance with the rights and guarantees of the employee when performing the labour function outside the employer’s location. Considering the perspectives of scholars and legislators, this study elucidates the concept and content of a labour function, provides a definition for the term “place of performance of a labour function”, taking into account the distinction between the concepts of a place of work and a workplace. Additionally, the research analyses definitions and specific legislative provisions pertaining to the legal guarantees provided to an employee during the execution of a labour function.As the main element of the study, the performance of the labour function under a contract on remote work, a contract on home work and on a business trip was considered. For a better understanding of the topic, the definitions of each of the concepts, guarantees regarding the performance of the labour function in such regimes are provided. The judicial practice regarding the peculiarities of the registration of the work of a remote employee and an employee on a business trip has been analyzed. The conclusions presented in the article provide a comprehensive answer to the issue of ensuring compliance with the rights and guarantees of the employee when performing a labour function outside the employer’s location.

Do Anatomical Variations Affect the Location of Solitary Sphenoid Sinus Fungal Balls? A 10-Year Retrospective Study
Authors: Doo Jeon Gang , Min Hye Kyu , Min Jin-Young
Published: April 2024

Background and Objectives: Sinonasal fungal balls (FBs) most commonly occur in the maxillary sinus, followed by the sphenoid sinus (SS). Relatively little is known about the predisposing factors and pathogenesis of unilateral sphenoid sinus fungal balls (SSFBs) compared to maxillary sinus FBs. We investigated whether anatomical variations have clinical implications for the location of unilateral SSFBs.Methods: This study included 33 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for unilateral SSFBs between 2010 and 2021. Preoperative computed tomography scans were used to analyze the presence of anatomical variations, including sphenoid lateral recess, complete accessory septum of the SS, types of SS pneumatization, anterior and posterior nasal septal deviation (NSD), cephalocaudal NSD, concha bullosa (CB), Haller cell (HC), paradoxical middle turbinate (MT), everted uncinated process (UP), and Onodi cell.Results: The presence of HC (33.3% vs. 12.1%, p=0.04), complete accessory septum of the SS (51.6% vs. 25.8%, p=0.04), and the sellar type of the SS (90.9% vs. 50%, p=0.003) differed significantly according to the presence or absence of FBs in the SS. However, other anatomical variations, including NSD, CB, paradoxical MT, everted UP, Onodi cell, and sphenoid lateral recess, were not significantly associated with the presence of unilateral SSFBs (all p>0.05). In the multivariable analysis, only sellar-type pneumatization of the SS showed a statistically significant relationship with SSFB, not the combined conchal and presellar type (adjusted odds ratio, 8.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.27–63.19; p=0.03).Conclusion: We demonstrated that unilateral SSFBs were most strongly associated with the ipsilateral type of SS pneumatization, followed by the presence of HC and a complete accessory septum of the SS. Intranasal anatomical variations may play a significant role in the location of unilateral SSFBs.

Published: April 2024

The influence of catastrophic forest fires in 2021 on the vegetation cover and soils of the middle taiga on the territory of distribution of light soil-forming rocks of Central Yakutia has been studied. Obtained results showed the cardinal dynamics of species diversity and productivity of the larch and pine forests surface vegetation in their natural state and in burnt areas. The stock of grass-shrub cover aboveground phytomass on the control larch and pine forests is higher for 5 and 10 times than that in the burnt areas, respectively. The work carried out revealed the effect of forest fires on the morphological structure (formation of pyrogenic layer, manifestation of pyro- and cryoturbations), the depth of thawing, the water regime of permafrost soils under larch and pine forests on control and burnt sites in the first year after strong fires. The soils in the study area are predominantly permafrost illuvial-ferruginous podzols. The study revealed an increase in the permafrost table depth of these soils, an increase in the level of ground water, and a decrease in acidity in the upper part of the profile. Intense ash formation was found due to the burning of litter. The characteristic of the current state of vegetation and soil cover is given.

Published: April 2024

Las investigaciones de valoración económica de templos o patrimonio religioso son escasas y, a la vez, sumamente necesarias, dada la importancia creciente del turismo religioso en ciertos territorios con apreciables ventajas competitivas estáticas susceptibles de explotación económica. En este artículo se cuantifica el valor económico del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Las Lajas, Colombia (declarado bien de interés cultural nacional por el Ministerio de Cultura en 2006), mediante la adaptación y aplicación de los métodos de costo de viaje y valoración contingente, así como modelos de regresión de Poisson, logit y probit en la estimación de las probabilidades de visitar el templo y la voluntad de pago de los consumidores religiosos (DAP). La probabilidad de visitar el Santuario es explicada por la DAP y la formación posgradual del visitante y, a su vez, la DAP es determinada por el gasto en consumo final, el número de visitas realizadas y la condición de asalariado del turista. Las regresiones logit y probit predicen una probabilidad de pago muy significativa de 97.5 %.
Agricultural Production Conditions in Boyacá
Authors: Arias Helmuth Yesid , Antosová Gabriela
Published: April 2024

This article uses data from the Census of Agriculture 2014 pertaining to the Department of Boyacá. It connects the production performance at the municipal level to a set of rural determinants, which encompass the exploitation of the agricultural potential. This approach highlights features of the agricultural sector in Boyacá: the predominance of annual crops, the break-up of agricultural units, family arrangements to supply labor input, and the lack of a widespread export stuff, inter alia. The methodology employs a spatial approach that seeks to identify spatial patterns in the agricultural output, using the municipality as the spatial unit. We resort to spatial econometrics to model the determinants of the agricultural output, and to point out a better spatial structure according to the pool of data. The econometric results confirm a kind of spatial dependence in the error, suggesting the influence of common shocks affecting the agricultural output, everywhere the municipalities of Boyacá. Throughout the region, the traditional production profile, based on annual crops to satisfy the national consumption, prevails. This type of production depends on typical rural conditions: small plots of land, little mechanized production, family work and precarious wages.

El Big Mac como indicador proxy de la paridad de poder de compra cobra mucha relevancia durante periodos de alta depreciación de la moneda. ¿Se encuentran subvaluadas o sobrevaloradas las monedas con respecto al dólar?, ¿se cumple la paridad del poder de compra (PPC) absoluta y relativa en Colombia? Mediante una estructura de datos de corte longitudinal y la estimación de un modelo de datos de panel, damos respuesta a estas preguntas. Para Colombia se han observado momentos en los que oficialmente se informaba una apreciación del peso frente al dólar, el índice Big Mac detectó una depreciación real. Las estimaciones indican que existe evidencia empírica a favor de la PPC absoluta, es decir, a partir de la ecuación transformada por logaritmos y estimada mediante el método GLS,  mientras que no existe evidencia empírica que apoye el cumplimiento de la PPC en términos relativos.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) occurs due to the presence of cerebral hemorrhage as a result of rupture of blood vessels in the brain tissue. Clinically Intracerebral Hemorrhage can be characterized by the presence of a decrease in consciousness. So that bed rest is one of a person's efforts in restoring his condition by lying in bed for a long time. It is at risk for experiencing impaired skin integrity. One of the skin integrity disorders that occurs in clients with bed rest is a decubitus ulcer. Skin care is one of the efforts to improve pressure sores by providing back massage therapy. This study aimed to analyze the nursing care of Skin Integrity Disorder patients by giving back massage in ICH cases in the Jasmine room of Dr. Soebandi Jember Hospital. The design of this study is descriptive in the form of a case study in patient who experienced redness of the skin of his back due to prolonged bed rest. After being given a back massage for 2 x 24 hours for 3 days, the patient experienced a change in skin integrity as evidenced by reduced redness of the skin.

Organization of hospital meals, namely an activity carried out by the hospital nutrition installation related to the provision of food for patients. Based on the data obtained, it is known that food waste at Hospital X Jember Regency is at a total average of 26.04%; this figure is not in accordance with the maximum standard of food waste, which is approximately 20%. This study aims to determine the implementation of food in the Nutrition Unit of Hospital X Jember Regency. This research is descriptive. The population of this study was 12 people, and we used a sample from a total population unit of 12 people (3 working in the nutrition office, 9 working in the kitchen). Data collection is done through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that there were three parameters for storing food ingredients that were not in accordance with Permenkes Number 07 of 2019, namely that there were two drainages, namely under the wet food storage area (refrigerator) and under the warehouse door for dry food storage, and no samples of finished food samples in the refrigerator of the Nutrition Unit of RS X. It is recommended not to place wet food storage areas and dry food storage areas near drainage or waste water drains and to place finished food samples in food sample storage areas at any time to avoid something happening (disturbance) to patients and related complaints about food served to patients.

The amount of data generated is a challenge for agencies in the health sector to quickly analyze needs and interventions. The management and presentation of data carried out by the Jember District Health Office has not yet found an optimal method to present a lot of data into easily understood health information. This study aims to design a health data visualization dashboard using Microsoft Excel to assist in data management and facilitate policy formulation. The method used is research and development (R&D) with a visual data mining (VDM) model. The results showed that the data used for visualization was the MCH data of Jember Regency in 2021. The resulting dashboard consists of 4 maternal health dashboards and 5 child health dashboards. Verification of dashboard results shows that the dashboard is 100% functional, so it is accepted by the user. Dashboard testing using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) has an average of positive evaluation results. Future researchers are expected to develop the types of data and visualization tools used in designing dashboards.

Preeclampsia is a compilation of symptoms occurring in pregnant, delivering, and postpartum women, typically characterized by hypertension, edema, and proteinuria from the 20th week of pregnancy until the end of the first week postpartum. Risk factors for preeclampsia include maternal age >35 years, maternal age <20 years, primigravida, a history of hypertension, adherence to Antenatal Care (ANC), obesity, and a history of preeclampsia. Priority scaling is essential in the development of prevention and management programs for Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), particularly preeclampsia. One method to prioritize program development is mapping potential issues in a region through a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. This research aims to illustrate the distribution of preeclampsia risk factors in the working area of Kendit Primary Health Center. The research method utilized is quantitative descriptive. The results indicate that the areas with very high-risk categories for preeclampsia and maternal age are in Rajekwesi Village, with a very high prevalence of obesity and hypertension history risk factors in Tambak Ukir Village, a very high prevalence of a history of preeclampsia risk factor in Klatakan Village, a very high prevalence of primigravida risk factor in Bugeman Village, and no cases of adherence to antenatal care <4 times in the working area of Kendit Primary Health Center.
Personality predictors of ability to facilitatory influence in psychology students
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Kondrashikhina Oksana A.
Published: April 2024

The research purpose is to study differences in personal predictors of the ability to influence facilitation among second- and final-year psychology students. The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire of R. Cattell, modified Personal Orientation Inventory of E. Shostrom, M. Rokeach Value Survey, the Questionnaire for diagnosing the level of empathic abilities of V.V. Boyko, the Test of personality orientation in communication of S.L. Bratchenko were used. Summarizing the results of the research, we can conclude that personal predictors of the ability to facilitate influence in conditions of spontaneous, non-targeted formation are higher among graduate students: it was possible to identify significant differences in systems of value orientations, personal characteristics and parameters of self-actualization compared to second-year students. In other words, even in conditions of non-targeted formation and development, during the period of study at a university, psychology students develop personal predictors of the ability to facilitate influence, both due to the information component and through personal development, increasing the level of reflection, self-understanding, and working through personal problems and intrapersonal conflicts. A direction for further research could be a comparison of the dynamics of personal indicators among psychology students and students in other areas of training to level out the influence of age factors on the identified changes in personal predictors of the ability to influence facilitation. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of taking into account the obtained data in the process of training future psychologists, the quality of whose professional training is of high social importance in modern conditions.

Published: April 2024

This article aims to provide a guide that will help healthcare professionals and clinical researchers from all fields that deal with Kaplan-Meier curves. Survival analysis methods are among the most frequently used in the medical sciences and in clinical research. Overall survival, progression free survival, time to recurrence, or any other clinically relevant parameter represented by a Kaplan-Meier curve will be discussed. We will present a practical and straightforward interpretation of these curves, setting aside intricate mathematical considerations. Our focus will be on essential concepts that interface with biological sciences and medicine in order to guarantee proficiency in one of the most popular yet frequently misunderstood methods in clinical research. Being familiar with these concepts is not only essential for designing new clinical studies but also for critically assessing and interpreting published data.

Objetivo: Comparar la microdureza de la resina compuesta con técnica índex convencional y modificada con cubeta impresa en dos fotopolimerizaciones. Materiales y métodos: Se contó con seis grupos de estudio de acuerdo a la técnica y a la cantidad de fotopolimerizaciones: técnica directa con una fotopolimerización (D1F), directa con dos fotopolimerizaciones (D2F), índex convencional con una fotopolimerización (IC1F), índex convencional con dos fotopolimerizaciones (IC2F), índex modificada con una fotopolimerización (IM1F), índex modificada con dos fotopolimerizaciones (IM2F). Se utilizaron quince muestras por cada grupo. Las muestras tuvieron dimensiones de 2 mm de altura por 5 mm de diámetro. Se realizó la fotopolimerización siguiendo las indicaciones del grupo al que corresponde, para luego someter a la prueba de dureza de Vickers a tres indentaciones por cada cara con carga de 200 g por 15 segundos. Se realizaron dos registros de microdureza, una superficial y otra a 2 mm. Se recolectaron los datos en el instrumento confeccionado y fueron procesados mediante SPSS v. 26. Resultados: Existe una diferencia significativa entre los grupos de microdureza superficial de primera fotopolimerización (p < 0,001); y también existe diferencia significativa entre los grupos de microdureza a 2 mm de primera fotopolimerización (p < 0,001). Asimismo, no existen diferencias significativas entre los grupos de microdureza superficial de segunda fotopolimerización (p = 0,519) ni en los grupos de microdureza a 2 mm de segunda fotopolimerización (p = 0,279). Conclusiones: No existen diferencias significativas en la microdureza superficial y a 2 mm de profundidad con técnica índex convencional y modificada en cubeta impresa en dos fotopolimerizaciones.
