Deconstrucción, fragmentación y ruptura de las fachadas como envolventes en los centros históricos de Arequipa y Cusco
Authors: Gutierrez Pinto Darci , Alfaro Auca Crayla
Published: October 2024

Los centros históricos de Arequipa y Cusco están inscritos en la Unesco como Patrimonio de la Humanidad, pero están en riesgo de perder su imagen y su valor arquitectónico por el reemplazo del perfil urbano (envolvente) expresado en sus fachadas. Estas alteraciones y rupturas son significativas cuando no se toman en cuenta los criterios de conservación establecidos en la normativa local, nacional e internacional. El objetivo es analizar y revelar la naturaleza de las intervenciones que afectan a un edificio histórico. La investigación es metodológicamente mixta, ya que contiene los datos físicos de las edificaciones a lo largo de los años en los perfiles representativos; consigna la información (cuantitativos) en fichas de trabajo, desde tres aspectos: levantamiento del perfil de las elevaciones y de la unidad tipológica, más la división del lote en relación con el grado de ocupación del mismo, ya que, en las evidentes deconstrucciones (cualitativos), se produce un proceso de fragmentación, mostrando los patrones sistemáticos utilizados. La conclusión general es que prevalece la individualización y el interés privado en detrimento del patrimonio cultural de la ciudad.
Restauración y conservación en los inicios del Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla
Authors: De Besa Gutiérrez Rafael
Published: October 2024

Estudio centrado en las primeras actividades de conservación y restauración efectuadas en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla gracias a la Comisión de Monumentos Artísticos y a la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Sevilla. Se parte desde la desamortización de Mendizábal de 1835 hasta la creación del Museo y sus primeros años de funcionamiento. En estos inicios del Museo se empezó a atender al estado de su colección, la cual demandaba con urgencia tener algún profesional de la restauración, resultando problemática la contratación por designación directa de Manuel María Alarcón. Por ello se optó en 1872 por el modelo del concurso oposición. Se completa este estudio con la aportación de un inventario inédito fechado en 1861que recoge las obras del Museo que precisaban de intervención y el gasto económico y temporal que implicaban.

Optimizing Indoor Comfort and Energy Efficiency using Right-Angled Triangular Responsive Facades in Cairo, Egypt
Authors: Ibrahim Merna , Faggal2 Ahmed , Nessim Ashraf
Published: October 2024

Building energy consumption has been rapidly increasing in recent years due to several factors such as climate change and global population growth. Besides, the majority of buildings are not designed with the consideration of the alteration of the severe conditions of the external surrounding environment, which affects the indoor environment negatively. As a result, excessive HVAC systems are utilized in order to maintain the indoor environment and achieve the indoor human comfort. Thus, large amounts of energy are being consumed and the rates of the energy consumption are increasing rapidly. Responsive architecture is considered as one of the solutions that architects, and façade designers use in order to block the excessive solar radiation and direct natural light and thus enhance the indoor comfort zone. However, the majority of the façade’s pattern designs are not following specific guidelines. This study contributes to the field by identifying an optimal right-angled triangular façade design that effectively enhances indoor thermal comfort, reduces solar radiation, and minimizes energy consumption, thereby providing a practical solution for improving building performance in response to climate change and urban growth challenges. This article will study four different façade pattern cases, which are common in the rotational movement, façade orientation and pattern dimensions; however, they differ in the orientation of the axes of movement. The four-façade pattern proposals will be investigated through simulating the solar radiation, consumed cooling energy and the indoor operative temperature during the maximum solar exposure day. A comparative analysis will be conducted between the results in order to highlight the most efficient right-angled triangular pattern that can be used on the south façade in Cairo, Egypt in order enhance the indoor thermal comfort, enhance the energy consumption rates, reduce the solar radiation and improve the building performance.

A prototype schedule, including GIS elaboration, is the novel proposal illustrated in the paper: it derives from the investigation carried out within the Working Group of the Italian Ministry of Culture, aimed at defining a Charter for Small Villages. The approach innovativeness consists in the comparison methodology between different landscape units that can also be extended to similar cases, defined on the basis of the involved factors matrix.
Green finance and gender equality: Keys to achieving sustainable development
Authors: Chen Fu-Hsaun
Published: October 2024

This research investigates the relationship between Green Finance (GF) and Gender Equality (GE) within the context of sustainable development, revealing that existing frameworks lack an integrated approach to incorporating GE into GF. By reviewing 125 relevant articles published from 2004 to 2024, the author also found that women's empowerment significantly promotes GF development, while gender diversity enhances environmental management and corporate performance. Furthermore, the contributions of women in climate adaptation and environmental sustainability should not be overlooked. In conclusion, there is a pressing need to incorporate a gender perspective into GF policies and practices, which calls for further exploration of gender-sensitive financing models and the culture impact on GF and GE, aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) more effectively.
Mechanical and microstructural characteristics of recycled aluminium matrix reinforced with rice husk ash
Authors: Abolusoro Olatunji P , Khoathane Moshibudi Caroline , Washington Washington
Published: October 2024

This study used rice husk ash to reinforce recycled aluminium waste cans matrix through stir casting technique to produce a composite. The rice husk ash was added to the aluminium matrix in 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%. Mechanical and microstructural analyses were carried out on the composites. The tensile strength of the composite increases at 5 wt% addition of reinforcement and increases further to reach a maximum of 121.6 MPa at 10 wt% addition. The tensile value then dropped at 15 wt% and reduced further at the 20 wt% particulate addition. A similar trend was observed for the impact strength with the maximum value of 81.5 J occurring at 10 wt% addition before declining at the higher percentages of reinforcement. The hardness of the composites continues to increase as the percentage of the rice husk addition rises leading to the highest Brinell hardness number (BHN) of 74.5 occurring at the highest percentage of rice husk ash addition. The density of the composites decreases as the wt% addition of the reinforcement increases giving the lowest density value of 2.46 g/cm3 at 20 wt% addition. The microstructures exhibited uniformity in the dispersion of the reinforcement into the aluminium matrix, although little particulate agglomeration could be noticed at higher percentages of rice husk addition. This study provides a significant boost to the attainment of lightweight materials in the automobile and other allied industries. The improvement in the mechanical properties and the lower density of the composites attained in this study are vital factors considered in material selection and design for lightweight engineering applications.
A uniform interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment: topological descriptors and their application in neural networks
Authors: Khabyah Ali Al , Ahmad Haseeb , Ahmad Ali , Koam Ali N. A.
Published: October 2024

The concept of being uniform strong interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (also termed as USIVIF) is an integration of two ideologies, which are called "uniformity" and "strong interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets". Inspired by the study on uniform fuzzy topological indices, it is natural to introduce uniform IVIFTIs. Originally, topological indices were generalized for the fuzzy sets However, the utilization of the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy topological indices provides a finer approach, especially if there are multiple uncertainties based on intervals. Consequently, both theories imply that topological indices are not fixed and depend on certain situations or problems in the question. In this article, the generalized results for the uniform degree of the fuzzy sets associated with individual vertices/edges of strong interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy graphs were presented and results for the total uniform degree of such graphs were also included. In addition, the nature of the implemented methods and models was discussed based on the cellular neural interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy graphs of sets of membership and non-membership values.

Troka el poderoso: vanguardia, revolución cultural y poder de la infraestructura (1920-1932)
Authors: Mendoza Ernesto
Published: October 2024

A partir del análisis de la estética estridentista y de la visión pedagógica de Germán List Arzubide en Troka el poderoso, en este artículo argumento que esta vanguardia artística acompañó al nuevo Estado surgido de la Revolución mexicana en el proceso de construcción de una legitimidad que descansaba en su poder infraestructural, entre las décadas de 1920 y 1930 del siglo pasado. En este sentido, quiero destacar el papel del estridentismo como una fuente de transmisión del poder infraestructural del Estado en su búsqueda por legitimar al nuevo régimen y crear un ciudadano “racional”. En la primera parte del texto abordo el encuerpamiento de la tecnología y de la infraestructura en la subjetividad de los creadores de literatura, en este caso, del grupo que conformó el movimiento estridentista. También muestro las conexiones de esta subjetividad moderna con el proyecto socialista utópico del general Heriberto Jara en Veracruz, entre 1926 y 1927, años en que los estridentistas colaboraron como promotores culturales del gobierno veracruzano. En la segunda parte, me concentro en la labor de Germán List Arzubide, en la década de 1930, como pedagogo y reformador de la educación en México para exponer su noción de la literatura socialista como una tecnología de subjetivación capaz de crear un ciudadano racional, técnico, laborioso y antirreligioso, tal como puede leerse en los cuentos que componen Troka el poderoso. De este modo, destaco un episodio histórico en que la literatura tuvo una imbricación clara con la política mexicana, a partir de la relación entre vanguardia artística, revolución e infraestructura.
Efraín Huerta y Pablo Neruda: poesía y política antifascista en el diario El Popular (1939-1944)
Authors: Quintana Sergio Ugalde
Published: October 2024

Este ensayo analiza, a partir de las colaboraciones de Efraín Huerta y de Pablo Neruda en el periódico obrero El Popular, los proyectos poético-políticos que una red de escritores articuló en México, bajo el horizonte del discurso del antifascismo, durante el desarrollo de la Segunda Guerra mundial. Los proyectos literarios difundidos y promovidos en este periódico, fundado por Vicente Lombardo Toledano, conformaron un laboratorio estético en el que se conjugaron de forma abierta una crítica a la violencia fascista y el deseo de un futuro mejor. Este deseo crítico y utópico muestra una especial relación entre literatura y política a inicios de los años cuarenta en México.
Dyn: un breve frente antifascista en México
Authors: Abarca Mario Mendicuti
Published: October 2024

En México en 1942, Wolfgang Paalen fundó Dyn, revista que publicaba tanto a autores vinculados al movimiento surrealista, como a otros relacionados con la lucha izquierdista y antifascista, a la vez que se hacían críticas a las corrientes artísticas y políticas hegemónicas y nuevas propuestas teóricas y creativas. Desde la edición, la escritura, la pintura y la reflexión, diversos artistas e intelectuales materializaron en Dyn una forma distinta de comprender el vínculo entre arte y política, entre ética y estética. Así, se propone analizar los puntos en los que se disentía en Dyn de, por ejemplo, el surrealismo bretoniano y el estalinismo, con el fin de entender cómo y con quiénes dialogaban.

Hybrid Shared-Buffer for Multi-Master Databases
Authors: Zhang Rongrong , Ye Zhiwei , Cai Peng , Zhou Xuan , Cai Dunbo , Qian Ling
Published: October 2024

Distributed shared buffer (DSB) is a well-known solution to support multi-master database systems. DSB involves controlling access to shared data among different nodes through a distributed shared buffer and lock-based cache coherence protocols. Existing DSB implementations resolve conflicts at the page level and lack the flexibility required by modern cloud database systems. Authors present HyBuffer which mixes rows and pages in the distributed shared buffer. It enables multiple masters to independently modify different rows on the same page, thereby enhancing concurrency and performance. HyBuffer adopts the hybrid design to track the location information of cached data. A centralized node maintains page locations indicating which masters have cached which pages, and the record locations of a cached page are maintained by the master which has cached this page. This design eliminates the need to redistribute metadata when dynamically adding or removing masters. Experimental results demonstrate that HyBuffer achieves better scalability and performance compared to existing approaches.

The contribution made by psychoanalysis to the universal psychiatric world has certainly been immense and even today it has not exhausted its vitalising contribution. In fact, even if not in the invasive and colonising manner assumed in psychiatry in the U.S. in the 1950s-60s, its pervasiveness is now inalienable to psychiatry: almost in the same way that Lavoisier's chemistry pervaded the whole of modern chemistry thought, displacing the phlogiston principle forever.

Harmonisation outcomes after insourcing services in South African higher education institutions
Authors: Chabaya Blessing , Govender Cookie M. , Kanengoni Herbert
Published: October 2024

Orientation: The study was conducted in two higher education institutions that underwent insourcing and harmonisation of conditions of employment for support services.Research purpose: This study aims to determine how harmonisation shapes outcomes among support service labour in selected higher education institutions and to develop a management framework to harmonise conditions of employment following insourcing.Motivation for the study: The study capitalises on organisational complexities in higher education institutions that experienced insourcing of support services employees to address concerns assumed to be premised on historical exclusionary and exploitative employment practices. The study documents the experience and perceptions of institutional stakeholders in creating new knowledge on harmonisation following insourcing.Research approach/design and method: Employing a qualitative approach, 16 interviews were conducted with selected multi-level management and personnel directly involved in a harmonisation.Main findings: The study found tangible and intangible aspects, processes and other psychological perspectives on implementing harmonisation across employment levels. Furthermore, it was found that an efficient and effective harmonisation framework is required. Effective harmonisation for inclusion was viewed as being compromised by factors such as government intervention, and a lack of policy, framework and legislation to guide the process.Practical/managerial implications: Practical recommendations are provided for implementing harmonisation strategies following insourcing across employment levels in South African higher education institutions.Contribution/value-add: The study contributes to novel theory on harmonisation after insourcing and provides a management framework for harmonisation of conditions of employment.

Primary spinal cord neoplasms are rare, accounting for 1% of paediatric central nervous system tumours. The majority of which are low-grade gliomas (LGG). A teenage male presented with rapidly progressive lower limb paralysis. He subsequently underwent a near-total resection of an intramedullary thoracic tumour. Although the initial histopathology report suggested a LGG, closer review of the morphology and immunohistochemical staining revealed a diffusely infiltrating high-grade astrocytoma. Methylation profiling later confirmed a H3K27M-mutated spinal DMG. He underwent spinal radiation to the tumour bed soon after surgery but succumbed to his disease 8 days after completing radiation, and 3 months after presentation.Conclusion: Spinal DMGs are rare, can lead to diagnostic challenges and have a poor prognosis.
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice toward Early Childhood Caries among Pediatricians and Pediatric Residents in Karnataka
Authors: Dwarampudi Sahithi , Khan Habeeb Ullah , Hegde Nandita , Jaidev M. D.
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a significant worldwide oral health problem. Pediatricians can be a perfect source for children’s oral health promotion and disease prevention. Hence, the study was conducted to determine knowledge, attitude, and practice about early dental caries among pediatricians and pediatric residents.

Materials and Methods:

A questionnaire survey was conducted among 350 pediatricians and pediatric residents which covered aspects of knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding dental caries. The questionnaire consisted of 22 close-ended questionnaires. Data were tabulated and analyzed using SPSS software.

Results:

Most pediatricians had adequate knowledge regarding the appropriate age to start oral hygiene as well as performed visual oral examination but very few had instruments to diagnose dental caries. Only 37% of pediatricians advised dental visits below 1 year and only 27% advised the use of fluoridated toothpaste below 1 year.

Conclusion:

Most of the pediatricians had adequate knowledge and awareness of dental care and hygiene. The lack of dental knowledge and training during postgraduation limits the pediatricians’ role in promoting children’s oral health.
A Finite Element Study of Thermal Shock Load Effects on Dental Material before on the Two-body Wear Mechanisms
Authors: Yilmaz Efe Çetin
Published: October 2024

Background:

The thermal changes environment is a parameter that affects the dental mechanical and esthetic behavior of materials. Dental materials placed in the human oral environment are inevitably exposed to thermal changes environments during chewing movement and hot or cold fluids.

Aim:

Therefore, this study aims to analyze the surface behavior of a dental material placed in the human mouth in thermal changes according to the finite element method.

Materials and Methods:

Cylindrical titanium alloy samples with a diameter of 12 mm were prepared for thermal shock load simulation. Withinthe scope of this study, the samples were divided into two equal groups. While the first group test samples were subjected to thermal shock experiments, the others were determined as the control group. The surface temperature distributions of the samples in the test procedures were analyzed and evaluations were made on the wear behavior of the materials.

Results:

The temperature distributions showed density on the material surface and it was analyzed that a temperature transfer took place toward the inside of the material.

Conclusion:

This result is evaluated as behavior that reduces the wear resistance since it directly affects the contact surface in the two-body (direct-contact) wear mechanism.

Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 28, and descriptive results were obtained.

Results:

Four hundred and twenty-eight males (82.6%) and 90 females (17.3%) were examined. The older adults presented high tooth loss with an average of 7 missing teeth, and consequently a high prosthetic need with poor denture hygiene. Most of the older adults were categorized as having “fair” oral hygiene, but almost all respondents presented some degree of periodontal disease.

Conclusion:

The current study highlighted that the majority of the patients reported to be satisfied with their oral health status, but most had periodontal problems followed by an increased need for prosthesis.

Background:

Periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition leading to progressive attachment loss and potential tooth loss. Nonsurgical periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing (SRP), ultrasonic therapy, and laser therapy, is essential in managing periodontitis. This study compares the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of these three treatment modalities to determine their relative effectiveness.

Objective:

We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and patient-reported experiences of SRP, ultrasonic therapy, and laser therapy in patients with chronic periodontitis.

Materials and Methods:

This randomized controlled trial involved 126 participants with moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis, randomly assigned to one of three groups (42 participants each): Group 1 (SRP), Group 2 (ultrasonic therapy), and Group 3 (laser therapy). Clinical outcomes, including clinical attachment level (CAL), probing depth (PD), and bleeding on probing (BOP), were measured at baseline and 3 months post-treatment. Patient-reported outcomes such as pain, discomfort, and satisfaction were assessed using a visual analog scale. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, with a P < 0.05 considered statistically significant.

Results:

All groups showed significant improvements in CAL, PD, and BOP with no significant differences between groups (P > 0.05). Laser therapy resulted in the lowest pain and discomfort scores and the highest satisfaction (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

SRP, ultrasonic therapy, and laser therapy are effective nonsurgical treatments for periodontitis, with comparable clinical outcomes. Laser therapy, however, offers superior patient comfort and satisfaction, suggesting that it may be a preferred option for patients sensitive to pain or discomfort.
Exploring the Biomechanical Factors Influencing the Success of Combined Prosthodontics and Implant Treatments, Including Load Distribution, Stress Distribution, and Material Selection
Authors: Nedumgottil Binoy Mathews , Nedumgottil Sajina Binoy
Published: October 2024

Background:

The success of combined prosthodontics and implant treatments is influenced by various biomechanical factors, including load distribution, stress distribution, and material selection. These factors play a critical role in determining the longevity and functionality of implant-supported prosthetic restorations.

Aim:

This study aimed to explore the biomechanical factors influencing the success of combined prosthodontics and implant treatments, focusing on load distribution, stress distribution, and material selection.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective observational study was conducted with a sample size of 30 patients requiring implant-supported prosthetic restorations. Standard titanium implants were placed, followed by the application of prosthetic components fabricated from materials such as zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, monolithic zirconia, and composite resin. Cone-beam computed tomography and finite element analysis were used to assess the load and stress distribution. Intraoral sensors measured occlusal load, and data were collected at 3, 6, and 12 months post-prosthesis placement.

Results:

Posterior mandibular implants exhibited the highest mean occlusal load (220 N), with a significant variability among patients. Zirconia and monolithic zirconia prosthetics demonstrated the lowest mean stress (750 and 700 MPa, respectively) and no fracture incidents, whereas composite resin showed the highest mean stress (900 MPa) and the most fractures. These findings highlight the importance of appropriate material selection and biomechanical planning to prevent implant overload and prosthetic failure.

Conclusion:

Biomechanical factors, including load and stress distribution, along with careful material selection, are crucial for the success of implant-supported prosthetic restorations. Posterior regions, especially the mandible, require meticulous planning to distribute the occlusal forces evenly. Zirconia and monolithic zirconia materials are recommended for high-load areas due to their superior mechanical properties and fracture resistance.

Published: October 2024

Autorotation of the mandible plays a pivotal role in various aspects of jaw function and biomechanics. As the lower jaw rotates, it not only facilitates chewing and speech but also contributes significantly to maintaining proper occlusion and dental health. Autorotation is intricately linked with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), allowing for smooth and coordinated movement during mastication and other oral activities. Understanding the dynamics of autorotation is crucial in diagnosing and treating conditions such as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), where disruptions in mandibular movement can lead to discomfort and dysfunction. Autorotation of the mandible underscores the complexity of the craniofacial system and its interaction with surrounding structures. Advancements in biomechanical research have shed light on the nuances of mandibular autorotation, aiding in the development of therapeutic interventions and orthodontic treatments aimed at restoring optimal jaw function. This review helps in understanding of mandibular growth pattern and associated growth rotation. It also focuses on various predict methods of autorotation of mandible following Lefort 1 for achieving the desired treatment goals.

Published: October 2024

Objective:

The objective of this study is to evaluate the psychosocial effect of dental esthetics and determine its correlation with the severity of malocclusion among young adults.

Materials and Methods:

A sample of 297 Gujarati young adults aged from 18 to 24 years were selected randomly, and intraoral examination was done by calibrated examiners at their colleges. The Psychosocial effect of Dental Aesthetics was measured by using the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Esthetic Questionnaire (PIDAQ). The severity of malocclusion was measured through the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN). The data were analyzed using student’s t tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Chi-square tests.

Results:

The results revealed that the total PIDAQ score and its four subscales, social impact, psychosocial impact, esthetic concern, and dental confidence, presented significant differences (P ≤ 0.05 by ANOVA) and linear relationship with the IOTN grades (P ≤ 0.05) and the psychosocial Impact subscale showed significant differences by gender.

Conclusions:

This study concludes that dental esthetics harm the psychosocial well-being of adults and when correlated with malocclusion it increases with the severity. The psychological impact is greater in females than in males.
