Authors: Abu-Ta’a Mahmoud F. , Beshtawi Khaled R.
Published: July 2024

Objective

This study aims to investigate the anatomical variations of lingual foramina detected on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes in a sample of the Palestinian population seeking dental implant treatment.

Methods

A retrospective radiographic study was conducted on patients’ CBCT volumes. The lingual foramina (LF) number, direction (e.g., superior median [SMLF], horizontal median [HMLF], and inferior superior median [IMLF]), height (LH), width (LW) and length (LL) were recorded on CBCT views. Distances from the buccal and lingual aspects of the lingual foramina to the superior and inferior aspects of the alveolar ridge were measured. Moreover, the presence of lateral lingual foramina was also examined. Statistical significance in the differences and relationships of the variables was tested using several statistical tests. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to analyze intra- and interobserver agreement.

Results

One hundred and nineteen patients were analyzed. 78.99% of patients presented with one lingual foramen,17.65% and 3.36% with two and three canals, respectively. The measurements LH, LW, and ML were, on average, 0.64mm,0.8mm, and 7.06mm, respectively. The LH, LL, and LW showed a statistical difference when compared for different lingual foramina directions.

Conclusion

Among the analyzed sample, the majority of the lingual canals were single and pointing upward. Few individuals had lateral lingual canals visible. A careful assessment utilizing cross-sectional views is strongly advised to analyze the lingual canal’s structure and rule out any potential anatomical variation.
Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes Using Green Synthesized Metal Nanoparticles
Authors: Daniel Sheeba
Published: July 2024

Environmentally hazardous, synthetic organic substances with a complex
structure are known as dyes. A major environmental issue is the removal of dyes from
the environment, and many techniques are often employed to break down colors. One
thought to be a good replacement for dye degradation is photocatalysis. Various
photocatalysts carry out the complete mineralization of colors without generating
hazardous by-products. When exposed to UV or visible light, metal nanoparticles'
promising catalytic ability allows them to break down dangerous synthetic dyes.
Compared to traditional methods, green production of metal nanoparticles is more
economical and environmentally benign. This book chapter focuses on using different
green synthesized metal nanoparticles to degrade synthetic colors. The
photodegradation mechanism presented in this chapter could clarify future uses for dye
degradation.

Published: July 2024

Nanometer-accurate surface coverage has become achievable through
improvements in thin film deposition methods, enabling scientists to construct multilayers
with complex compositions and investigate the cumulative effects of their interactions.
Furthermore, enhancements to the deposition procedure have made it possible to produce
significantly smaller electrical devices, which is crucial for introducing cutting-edge
technology. The development of nanotechnologies, such as thin films, requires stringent
control over the deposition process to minimize the physical dimensions of devices during
manufacturing. Continued research in this area can benefit photovoltaic devices with anticorrosion or biocidal coatings to meet the requirements of contemporary society. This chapter
discusses the relevance of metal oxide thin films and various manufacturing methods. We
also review different characterization techniques, including electron microscopy, x-ray
diffraction, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,
photoluminescence, and UV-visible spectroscopy. We emphasize the various applications of
these metal oxide thin films.

Published: July 2024

This chapter emphasizes on carbon nanotube’s (CNT) growth kinetics and the
development of CNT-based thin film cathode emitters. It highlights intensifying critical process
parameters to design appropriate cathodes by creating vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
using injection chemical vapour deposition. In the process of improving field emission (FE)
characteristics, (i) the process of hetero-atom doping, (ii) high degree of alignment, (iii)
controlled spatial distribution, and (iv) uniform height of CNT are the desirable criteria. The
strategy of hetero-atom doping in a carbon network is adapted to tailor the work function of
CNT, which is crucial in tuning the FE characteristics of CNT film. Doping-induced atomisticdefects influence field emission characteristics, while thermal transport and failure of carbon
nanotubes with fast transient joule heating during the field emission are described with the
experimental evidences. The electrostatic screening effects (ESE) between aligned CNTs and
the strategies to suppress ESE were critically emphasized. In this chapter, the role of (i) islandstructured CNT film, (ii) patterned growth, and (iii) height-to-diameter ratio modulation in
suppressing ESE is elaborately discussed. The physical parameters of CNT and phenomenon
affecting the electron emission characteristics of CNT cathode are described in detail.
Ultimately, CNTs standing vertically on the substrates are noble candidates for constructing
new cathode electrodes fulfilling these exceptional FE characteristics, but their dimensions and
density on the substrate must be adjusted and tailored for real-time applications. Considering
the importance of this application, the challenges and future prospectus of CNT based cathode
emitters are also covered.

Authors: Febrinawarta Burhan , Miasa I Made , Widyaparaga Adhika , Sucipto Sucipto , Premiaji Witnadi Dardjat
Published: July 2024

In our environment, acoustic sound waves transform into undesirable noise when their intensity exceeds 100 dB, prompting a need for effective mitigation strategies. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in utilising sound/noise and acoustics for energy harvesting, especially for low-power electronic devices committed to clean renewable energy sources. Metamaterials, with a spotlight on metalens, are emerging as a promising solution for precise sound focusing and energy conservation. This study delves into the intricate process of fabricating metalens through Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing, unravelling their acoustic focusing capabilities. Metalenses, equipped with intricately designed labyrinthine unit cells tailored for manipulating reflected wave phases, materialize through the precision of SLA 3D printing, forming a sophisticated multilateral structure. The experimental framework for acoustic focusing integrates essential components such as a waveguide, speaker array, metalens, acoustic foam, and a sound level meter. The resultant metalens, composed of 22-unit cells with diverse dimensions, distinctly demonstrate robust acoustic focusing capabilities. Calibration procedures are systematically applied to ensure uniformity of speaker array output and to create a carefully controlled acoustic environment. Sound level measurements clearly depict zones of mutually reinforcing resonance heights, while, conversely, there are also zones of mutually attenuating sound. The complex interplay of sound waves through the metalens, intricately guided by the design of the unit cells, decisively determines the degree of acoustic focus achieved. The SLA 3D printed metalens emerges as a compelling manifestation of effective sound concentration, poised for potential applications in the realm of acoustic energy harvesting. Nevertheless, the study's consequential findings beckon further scientific exploration, prompting an in-depth comprehension of the nuanced impacts of input frequency and potential heating phenomena.

In recent years, there has been explosive development in artificial intelligence (AI), which has been widely applied in the health care field. As a typical AI technology, machine learning models have emerged with great potential in predicting cardiovascular diseases by leveraging large amounts of medical data for training and optimization, which are expected to play a crucial role in reducing the incidence and mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases. Although the field has become a research hot spot, there are still many pitfalls that researchers need to pay close attention to. These pitfalls may affect the predictive performance, credibility, reliability, and reproducibility of the studied models, ultimately reducing the value of the research and affecting the prospects for clinical application. Therefore, identifying and avoiding these pitfalls is a crucial task before implementing the research. However, there is currently a lack of a comprehensive summary on this topic. This viewpoint aims to analyze the existing problems in terms of data quality, data set characteristics, model design, and statistical methods, as well as clinical implications, and provide possible solutions to these problems, such as gathering objective data, improving training, repeating measurements, increasing sample size, preventing overfitting using statistical methods, using specific AI algorithms to address targeted issues, standardizing outcomes and evaluation criteria, and enhancing fairness and replicability, with the goal of offering reference and assistance to researchers, algorithm developers, policy makers, and clinical practitioners.

Authors: Jabbar Maria , Lodhi Dr. Muhammad Arfan
Published: July 2024

The study explored the themes of subalternity, displacement, and resistance in Rafia Zakaria’s book “Upstairs Wife”, which is set in Pakistan in the 1970s and 1980s against a backdrop of sociopolitical unrest. The research examined how characters—especially the heroine Amina—maneuver through overlapping kinds of oppression and marginalization within a patriarchal, economically stratified, and politically unstable society through careful reading and thematic analysis of the text. The research highlighted the widespread injustices and inequities that marginalized groups in Pakistani society must contend with, such as economic precarity, gendered subalternity, and religious othering. In addition, the research looked at the several ways that characters have been displaced on a physical, emotional, and political level. The research clarified the intricate processes of power, identity forms, and resistance among disadvantaged groups by examining the connections between subalternity and displacement. The findings provide insights for future study and scholarship on literature, identity, and power relations, as well as to larger conversations about social justice, empowerment, and human rights in Pakistan and throughout the world.

Creativity in biology education is a crucial aspect that enhances students’ understanding of the subject. It consists of several indicators (fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration), which can also be used as measuring tools for creativity. This study aimed to determine the influence of the Problem-Oriented Project-Based Learning (POPBL) model in fostering creativity among high school students. The experiment was conducted in April until June 2023. The participants of this study consisted of 10th-grade students from State High School 1 Grogol. The cluster random sampling technique selected X6 as the control and X7 as the experimental classes. This was a quasi-experiment with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, in which two groups were chosen randomly where the classes had previously been tested for equality first. The analysis employed was an analysis of the covariance test. The statistical analysis revealed that students’ creativity in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group. Based on this study, we conclude that the POPBL model significantly improved student creativity. We suggest that with higher creativity, students will be able to solve the problems they face in life better.

Authors: Septiyatik Dyta , Arimi Sailal
Published: July 2024

Deadline is an issue related to punctuality that highly seeks publics’ attention in their everyday life, especially for people in Indonesia who are known by their term of jam karet ‘always not being on time, describing as the stretches like rubber’. Coming up from the phenomenon, this study aims to reveal the metaphor of deadline expressed by Indonesians in Twitter. The data was collected using the hashtag feature of #deadline and filter feature on the first phase in gathering tweets related to deadline which were generated by Indonesian Twitter users. A group of tweets found through hashtag #deadline was subsequently analyzed using the concordance tool of AntConc to obtain the collocates and cluster, and was followed by Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP) to determine the metaphorical expressions that brought about conceptual metaphor on deadline through domain mappings. The result of the study showed that Indonesian people make use of Twitter as a media to express their hustling days through hashtag metaphorically. The metaphorical expressions found were mapped to the source domain which reached to a conclusion that DEADLINE IS A TERROR. This outcome led to general idea that deadline was portrayed as something awful, threatening, and compulsive. Moreover, deadline is an embodiment of something full of adrenaline, challenging, and all rapid. The later portrayal resulted in a metaphor that DEADLINE IS A SURVIVAL GAME. In general, Indonesian Twitter users view deadline as a thrilling and unpredictable thing, either positively or negatively.
