Introduction:The hamular process topographically arises from the terminal part of the medial bone lamina and it is a sickle or hook-shaped process located distal and medial to the maxillary tuberosity. Its morphology is very varied as well as its size and its terminal portion can be thin or bulbous. In the literature, the average length and width are 5.3 mm and 1.6 mm, respectively. It commonly has a lateral deviation in the coronal plane and a posterior deviation in the sagittal plane. The present study aimed to analyze the morphology and morphometry of hamular processes in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) slices. Cone-beam computed tomography slices of 200 patients (100 male and 100 female) were analyzed. A field of view of 80 mm by 80 mm and an isotropic voxel size of 200 μm. Images obtained were viewed and analyzed with Romexis software 4.4.0.R. where Hamular processes measurements were taken. In the different slices, the Hamular processes were observed as cortical bone hyperdense images. They presented an average length of 5.42mm and an average width of 1,80 mm. The deviations of the hamulus laterally outwards in the coronal plane presented an average angle of 32°. In the sagittal slices, hamular processes presented a posterior deviation (85%). In our study, the morphology and size of these bone processes presented similar valuesto those reported in the literature. Knowledge of the statistically most frequent morphological and morphometric characteristics of hamular processes allows the dental professional to diagnose different pathological alterations, such as their abnormal deviation or their elongation that may be a cause of different disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea or hamular process syndrome.

The culinary business is the top two contributors from the manufacturing sector (6.66%). The Association of Indonesian Food and Beverage Entrepreneurs (GAPMMI) estimates that the food and beverage industry will grow by 7% by the end of 2022, this shows that the basic needs business such as the food or beverage business has good business prospects. A restaurant at certain hours such as lunch, dinner and on certain days, will be the busiest time to visit. It is at this time that the service of a restaurant will find it difficult to serve customers, and will experience a decline in service. At this time there are still many restaurants that check tables manually, by checking each table in turns. One technology that can be used to help in this situation is to use an ultrasonic sensor, this sensor can detect the presence of an object or certain objects above the sound waves of 20 kHz to 2 MHz. This can help business people to improve restaurant waiters to be better, by creating a system that can detect the arrival of customers at the restaurant table with an identifiable time and develop with various other capabilities. The research focuses on monitoring table availability by detecting the presence of customers in restaurants.

Authors:   The Korean Association of Criminal Psychology, Moon In Soo
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of victims of fraudulent crimes and to derive influencing factors based on previous studies such as low self-control, fear of crime damage, indirect experience or exposure based on Gottfredson and Hirschil (1990). In addition, in order to examine the part of voice phishing, which has a higher proportion of fraudulent crimes, we tried to verify the characteristics and influencing factors of victims who have experienced voice phishing crime remittance. As a result of analyzing the empirical study using the secondary data, it was found that there was a difference in damage experience according to the demographic characteristics of age, worker position, and education level, and there was no difference according to demographic characteristics in voice phishing remittance damage experience. The difference between the experience of fraudulent crime and voice phishing remittance was statistically significant according to the fear of property crime damage, indirect experience of property crime damage, and voice phishing remittance experience. However, like the results of correlation analysis and cross-analysis, fear of property crime and indirect experience of property crime damage were found to be significant influencing factors on the experience of fraudulent crime damage and voice phishing remittance. In addition, it was verified as an influencing factor that affects the experience of fraudulent crime damage when there is an experience of voice phishing exposure. Based on the research results, we intend to use it as data to present countermeasures to prevent damage to fraudulent crimes, including voice phishing crime damage.

Basic movement skills are the skills needed to explore the body’s ability to move as a result of learning to respond to stimuli. However, the learning process is still focused on mastering the skills but does not include the cognitive abilities. The research aims to measure the success of implementing field games in stimulating elementary school students' fundamental movement skills. The experiment adopted the one-group pretest and posttest designs. It was conducted in three consecutive stages: pretest, treatment, and posttest. The study involved a sample of 126 students who were randomly taken from elementary schools in Pontianak. The data on fundamental movement skills were collected through the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) instrument, which was analyzed descriptively. The results of the study showed that there had been an increase in the average TGMD-2 score of students on the posttest when compared to the pretest. The t-test between pre- and post-test showed that the scores were significantly different, as suggested by the calculated t-value having a greater value than the t-table. This result indicates that the implementation of field games can stimulate fundamental movement skills. It is concluded that applying field games can improve students' fundamental movement skills and can be used as an alternative for teachers in carrying out motion learning at school.
Perception of Fire safety evacuation design towards Fire Disaster in core towns of southern region of India
Authors: Natarajan Ramesh Babu , Subramanian C.V.
Published: August 2023

Old south Indian traditional towns are subjected to tremendous morphological changes. In an urban environment, fire is considered a manmade disaster. Urban pressure demands densely constructed built environments with critical fire risk parameters. In spite of various codes, building regulations that are formulated and enforced for the safety of human life and buildings, built environments in traditional areas of south India do not comply with fire safety codes and regulations. This study focuses on the perception of fire safety evacuation design by professionals who design buildings in the urban areas of south India namely “Kumbakonam, Thanjavur and Tiruchirappalli.” The fire safety evacuation parameters related to building characteristics namely number of exits, occupant load, width of exit routes/exit doors, maximum travel distance and corridor widths are considered in the present study. A structured survey has been conducted among 380 architects and engineers, who are directly involved in building designs in the aforementioned cities of south India to understand the perception of fire safety design. Therefore, this study identifies the challenges in complying existing codes and regulations, perception and knowledge in application of fire safety codes in continuous building area (CBA). In continuous building areas, the existing regulations and codes are ineffective for fire safety concern as perceived by architects and engineers. A significant percentage of respondents does not consider maximum travel distance calculation (23.15%), occupancy load (24.21%) and capacity factors calculations (33.95%) in their building design which are important determinant criteria for fire safety evacuation design during a fire disaster.

Rishikesh is one of the fastest growing urban agglomerations in Uttarakhand state of India. Being a religious and historical city, it attracts millions of tourists across the globe, hence a huge pressure is created over the limited land space. To tackle the pressure of tourists and satisfying the increasing demand of the space resulted into the expansion of urban area of Rishikesh. The study deals with the spatio-temporal changes occurred in the city of Rishikesh. The urban land use and land cover changes are analysed with the help of geographic information system. The analysis of satellite data (Landsat series MSS, TM, ETM + and OLI science 1972-2020) reflects that the settlement growth was quite unplanned. The haphazard growth of city resulted into the reduction of agriculture land. Various hotspots of settlement growth were noticed in study region. The town has limitation to growth because the town is enclosed by forests and holy river Ganga. There is urgent need to check city’s carrying capacity, high concentration of settlements and to maintain the concept of sustainable development.

Prelude to genocide: “the Armenian question” and the massacres in the Ottoman Empire
Authors:   Institutul de Istorie ", Tanasă Remus ,   A.D. Xenopol",   Iași, Romania
Published: August 2023

The faith of the Ottoman Armenians was closely linked to the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the last decades of the 19th century and the first two decades of the 20th century. The interests of the European diplomacy, the bundle of religious and ethnic communities competing for status and resources, the administrative inefficiency and corruption of state officials and a mischievous rule of Abdul Hamid II created the powder keg that led to a political deterioration for all parties involved in the Ottoman “millet system”. The status-quo of centuries of Muslim ascendancy was succumbing and the sultan’s authority was menaced by the lack of unity between the different state constituents. The Ottoman elite started looking for someone to blame for the fall back and since the Armenians were eager to improve their condition, even working together with the external enemies of the Porte, they gradually became the excellent scapegoat. The political fragility of the Ottoman state made the massacres against the Armenians possible, opening the path for a prospect to better homogenize and strengthen the state: the physical exclusion of Armenians through annihilation or ottomanization/turkification.
“War against the Double Alliance would be a disaster”. Ilie Bărbulescu, the “Seara” newspaper, and Romania’s neutrality (1914-1916)

Published: August 2023

In the attempt of reconsidering and properly understanding the so-called Germanophile option of a part of the Romanian society during the Great War, knowing those who have placed themselves on the side of the Central Powers is a sine qua non condition. Apart from the personalities already recognized for this, one must also consider other names who, although not always in the foreground of the events or on the spotlights of the press, presented an unquestionable regional or institutional importance for the realities of those troubles years. One of these figures was Professor Ilie Bărbulescu from the University of Iaşi, well-known back then for his “unpatriotic” views which caused a lively opposition both from students and some of his colleagues. Within our text we refer to his collaboration to the “Seara” newspaper in Bucharest, one of the most important Germanophile periodicals in Romania during the neutrality (1914-1916).
Continuous Wave Photon Upconversion from a Copper Selenide Nanocrystal Film
Authors: Warkentin Christopher , Sen Riti , Millstone Jill , Frontiera Renee
Published: August 2023

Photon upconversion is of great interest for improving the efficiency of silicon photovoltaic cells, for biological imaging, and for thermal management strategies. Currently, the vast majority of materials being developed for solar upconversion are composed of rare and expensive elemental compounds. Moving forward, the development of earth abundant, non-toxic materials that efficiently convert near infrared light into visible light would be ideal. Copper selenide-based materials meet these criteria, and are of great interest due to their unique thermoelectric and plasmonic properties. In particular, doped copper selenides (Cu2−xSe) have tunable near infrared localized surface plasmon resonances, large Seebeck coefficients, and low thermal conductivity, with a range of chemical and thermoelectric applications. Here, we observe another interesting application of this material in the upconversion of near infrared light from a silica xerogel film containing degenerately doped Cu2−xSe nanocrystals, with an onset flux of ∼ 1.96 ± 0.29 kW/cm^2 and at least 1% quantum yield. Our investigations suggest a plasmon-driven thermal mechanism likely plays a role in this upconversion process.
A New Method for Determining Aromaticity through Comparison of Inclusive vs. Non-Inclusive Steric Number Calculation in Conjunction with an Alternative Approach to Reveal Conjugated Pi Systems in Alkyne-Containing Compounds
Authors: Amiri Dylan
Published: August 2023

A required aspect for the classification of a compound as aromatic is it must have a conjugated pi system, which is constituted by a region of overlapping p-orbitals or, in other words, a continuous system of sp2-hybridized atoms. This is usually determined by drawing a valid resonance structure (one with no more than 2 formal charges) where all atoms are sp2-hybridized for the compound of interest, but we propose a new method intuitively suggesting resonance (if the atom of interest is determined to be sp2-hybridized) involving the comparison of inclusive vs. non-inclusive steric number calculation. We define inclusive steric number calculation as the number of sigma bonds plus the number of lone pairs bonded to the atom (both localized and delocalized), and define non-inclusive as the number of sigma bonds plus the number of localized lone pairs only. In the non-inclusive steric number calculation, the delocalized lone pairs count towards the Huckel number of pi electrons in the compound (4n+2 where n is an integer). Once both are calculated for the atom of interest and the rest of the following requirements for aromaticity are evaluated (i.e. compound is planar, cyclic, and has Huckel number of electrons) the version of the compound with the most stable aromatic configuration is selected as the correct configuration. For alkyne-containing compounds, we devised an alternative method for determining sp2-hybridization of atoms involved in an alkyne to ultimately reveal a conjugated pi system in the compound that agrees with our inclusive vs. non-inclusive steric number calculation. This approach involves the idea that the pi electrons of a pi bond within an alkyne that are not involved in the conjugated pi system (due to these p-orbitals being perpendicular relative to the parallel p-orbitals contributing to conjugation) can occupy a single atom in the alkyne, but the specific atom they occupy is unclear. Therefore, we present a “lone pair hybrid” that accounts for both atoms being equally able to receive the pi electrons as a lone pair. These hypothetical lone pairs are localized due to an alkene still bonding the atoms and makes the steric number calculation for both the inclusive and non-inclusive approach 2 sigma bonds + 1 lone pair = 3, sp2, making the atoms sp2-hybridized and thus revealing the conjugated pi system.

Authors: V Maka Vinayak , K Harish , Chidambara Murthy KN
Published: August 2023

Background Rectal cancer is one of the common gastrointestinal cancers and a leading cause for cancer deaths in India especially in the younger population. Cancer stem cells as part of intratumoral heterogeneity are attributed to therapy failure due to stemness related resistance mechanisms. Better understanding of resistant stem cell clones of rectal cancer will increase the success rate of cancer treatment. Methods After Institutional ethical committee approval the primary cell cultures from two tumour specimens of rectal cancer patients planned for chemoradiation and at the time of surgery were prepared. From single cell suspension cultures total stem cell population was estimated based upon Hoechst 33342 dye staining technique and its correlation with patientsrsquo overall survival was evaluated.Results During the study period out of 91 newly diagnosed rectal cancer patients 21 rectal cancer tissue samples were collected before chemoradiation and at the time of surgery from 12 patients consisting of ten males and two females in the age range of 29 to 67 years. Single cell suspension culture from tumour tissue samples collected from eight patients prior to their chemoradiation were prepared with maximum duration of viability of 10 days. Range of percentage of Hoechst low stem cells to Hoechst bright tumours cells was from 0.2 to 0.9 in eight SCSC with significant correlation with overall survival.Conclusion Cancer stem cell populations in rectal cancer patients can be attributed to poor outcomes owing to the resistance mechanisms to chemoradiation termed as stemness. Better understanding of stemness and targeting of pathways by novel therapies can improve current poor outcome.

Published: August 2023

In March 2020, the global health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic brought about significant changes in classrooms around the world. This paper is part of a larger study that investigated how Utah teachers across the state adapted to technology integration during that period. Specifically, we present interview findings from ten teachers in Utah, which we analyzed using open and axial coding. The study identified four distinct challenges that teachers faced at the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak: increased stress, difficulties in transitioning to digital formats, Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) dissonance, and students’ lack of technological knowledge. As a result, teachers began to reassess their pedagogical approaches and incorporate greater care for themselves and their students. In terms of technology, teachers reported an increased willingness to utilize technology and videoconferencing, as well as a shift toward digital formats and platforms.

Authors: Riabinina Natalia
Published: August 2023

The successful and progressive development of socio-economic oriented, political, profile reforms is due to the degree of level and spread of trust and respect for fundamental institutions focused on the formation of national value priorities of cohesion, cooperation, mutual assistance, promotion of a positive effective path and image and reliable partnership, which, especially, are necessary today for an indestructible Ukraine that is going through difficult times. Social capital affects all spheres of life, socio-cultural, economic-strategic, political, legal and other directions are based on a purposeful focus on a person, on raising the level of well-being and preserving the universe for future generations. Social capital has not been studied enough of the economic component, there is still no definitive definition, distribution of types and classifications, one of the topics discussed in scientific circles is the measurement of this type of capital. The article proposes the definition of the concept of "social capital" of the author and the analysis of directions and aspects of scientific researchers of this type of capital, sources, directions of use, principles, types of interconnection in society, which are a source of individual-collective economic stability. Comparative analysis of socio-economic growth and development of social capital proves the interrelation and close interweaving of common goals and objectives, interchangeability and complement of each other. Behavioral situational components of social ties and cooperative interactions, the inner core of stress resistance, the level of education and understanding help the community to overcome crisis situations and hardships of Ukrainian reality and the realities of today's Ukraine. It is social capital that is considered as a resource of real assistance to a positive factor in the formation and development of a clear paradigm for the development of the socio-economic climate of Ukrainian society, business, and the state.

Published: August 2023

Wheat is Afghanistan's principal food crop, and sustaining its production is critical to guaranteeing food security and self-sufficiency. Wheat crops contributed approximately 60% to 75% of total calorie consumption in the country. However, as a country that has been at war since 1978, it has been difficult for the wheat production enterprise to keep up with demand in order to feed the population. In order to be resilient in their operations and grow in the face of conflict and war, the players in this industry may have to withstand, survive and adapt to different situations and phenomena within the conflict and war conditions as compared to the normal wheat production context in the peaceful countries. Hence, the objective of this research is to look into the capabilities of the parties involved in wheat crop production in a prolonged war zone. This research was based on a qualitative case study. Interviews, observations, and documents were used to gather the necessary information, which was then analyzed using thematic analysis. This study revealed that ten out of fourteen capability constructs of resilience framework were applicable while four were not applicable in a war zone. This study also found some specific capabilities that wheat crop farmers possess and enable them to produce wheat crops in war conditions. This study provided new information regarding farmers’ capabilities in agriculture production in a war zone.
Long Term Antidepressant Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression – A Research Protocol
Authors: Multani Gurleen K.
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Individuals with treatment resistant depression (TRD) are those with severe major depressive disorder who fail to respond to conventional pharmacological treatment. As a result, novel technologies in the field of neuromodulation have been investigated to alleviate depressive symptoms in this population. One such neuromodulation therapy is deep brain stimulation (DBS), in which electrodes are neurosurgically implanted into target regions of the brain associated with depression, such as the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC). While previous studies have explored the use of DBS as a therapy for TRD, few studies with adequate statistical power have explored the sustained antidepressant effects of DBS when targeting the sgACC of the brain. Methods: This study aims to explore the long-term effects in DBS patients for TRD by measuring changes in cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolic rate in the sgACC, and its correlation to changes in self-reported depressive symptoms. Forty-five participants will be enlisted into this study. Psychometric evaluation and positron-emission topography imaging will be conducted prior to neurosurgery. Electrodes will be implanted into the sgACC, with extension wires attaching the electrodes to the internal pulse generator. In the six-week blinded phase, progressive increases in stimulation will be administered within the blinded group and sham stimulation in controls. The three-month open label phase will administer the same degree of high-frequency biphasic stimulation to the control and blinded groups and assess depression scores, neuroimaging, and adverse events. After cessation of active stimulation, a one-year, three-year, seven-year, and ten-year follow-up will monitor changes in antidepressant effects of DBS using simple linear contrasts and paired-sample t-tests. Expected Results: This study expects to find a sustained antidepressant response marked by decreases in sgACC metabolism and cerebral blood flow, and a reduction in self-report depression scores. Discussion: The use of DBS shows promise as a successful treatment intervention with sustained long-term effects for individuals with TRD. Additional secondary outcomes to be expected are improved quality of life and health behaviours. Conclusion: Though minor fluctuations are expected due to the presence of comorbidities, this study expects to showcase the long-term efficacy of deep brain stimulation for treatment resistant depression.

Berdasarkan hasil analisis arus bocor resistif pada Bay Kedinding di Gardu Induk 150kV Kenjeran Surabaya didapatkan perhitungan arus bocor resisitif yang dikoreksi bernilai 26 – 46 µA nilai tersebut masih dalam standart arus bocor maksimal yang ditetapkan PLN yaitu harus di bawah 150 µA, untuk hasil kondisi perhitungan didapatkan sebesar 17 – 31 % dan masih dalam standar PLN yaitu ≤ 90% sehingga ukur leakage current monitoring tahunan, sedangkan hasil galat kondisi antara perhitungan dan pengukuran sebesar 13%, hal ini dikarenakan adanya kesalahan pada saat menempatkan posisi field probe. Penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai referensi PT. PLN (Persero) untuk memperbaiki penempatan field probe sehingga tidak ada kesalahan nilai pada saat pengukuran arus bocor resistif lightning arrester.

Transformator ialah peralatan penting pada Gardu Induk yang mempunyai tugas penting seperti menstransformasikan tegangan, menyesuaikan arus, dan mempertahankan kualitas daya, namun seiring dengan waktu faktor-faktor seperti kenaikan temperatur operasi, kondisi pembebanan dan jadwal pemeliharaan dapat mempengaruhi kinerja transformator dan menyebabkan loss of life transformator. Pada penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas tentang metode Deep Learning-(Long Short Term Memory) LSTM untuk peramalan loss of life dengan efektif dan akurat. Metode LSTM yaitu jaringan saraf yang dalam dan informasi yang dikirimkan adalah aliran informasi yang berisi memori historis. Sumber data yang diterapkan penelitian ini dari transformator 6 di Gardu Induk 150 kV Buduran yang meliputi data beban dan temperatur minyak tahun 2021 dan 2022. Pengukuran kinerja LSTM dilakukan melalui Mean Squared Error (MSE) serta Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Hasil peramalan menunjukkan bahwa metode LSTM memiliki kinerja yang baik, dengan nilai MSE terbilang 0,0002 dan RMSE terbilang 0,014. Melalui metode ini, peramalan loss of life transformator untuk tahun 2023 diperoleh sebesar 17,89% atau setara dengan 0,1789 pu. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan bahwa metode LSTM dapat menghasilkan peramalan yang akurat dalam memprediksi loss of life transformator. Tingkat loss of life transformator tidak selalu konsisten setiap tahunnya, karena dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor seperti pembebanan, temperatur minyak, kondisi lingkungan, dan perawatan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam bidang perawatan transformator dengan menggunakan metode peramalan yang canggih. Dengan memperoleh perkiraan yang akurat tentang loss of life transformator, operator Gardu Induk 150 kV Buduran dapat merencanakan pemeliharaan secara lebih efisien.

The article presents arguments about some discrepancy in the requirements for the competence of a specialist in the field of healthcare organization and public health in accordance with the professional standard and the acquired knowledge and skills of students in the relevant educational programs. So, in particular, there is a wider list of knowledge and skills required for the head of a medical organization, in comparison with the competencies that a graduate in the direction of training "Health Organization and Public Health" possesses. At the same time, not only the list of competencies is insufficient, but also the depth of knowledge, which may subsequently affect the level of qualification. At the same time, at the moment, educational programs in the direction of training Management (Health Management) are becoming increasingly popular. Such graduates have more fully formed competencies in managing organizations, strategic planning, designing development programs, etc. This level of education is not noted in any way in the required educational trajectories for heads of medical organizations, however, the list of competencies required for students in such educational programs completely closes this discrepancy and the lack of knowledge and skills that arises among representatives of the leadership in the field of health care after training in residency or at primary retraining in the organization of health care and public health. As a result, it is concluded that the direction of training 38.04.02 "Management" profile "Health Management" is exactly the educational program that fully meets the requirements of the Professional Standard, and the presence of a diploma of obtaining this education should be decisive when choosing candidates for positions heads of medical organizations.
