ABSTRACT Aim: To assess the influence of elastomeric ligatures, subjected to a previous in vitro pigmentation process using different substances, on smile aesthetics during orthodontic treatment, from the perception of students and professionals. Methods: Eight elastomeric ligatures of five commercial brands (3M/Unitek, American Orthodontics, Morelli, Ortho Technology, and Orthometric) (n=8) were immersed in coffee, Coca-Cola, and red wine for one minute per day, for 28 days; and another group of ligatures was immersed in artificial saliva. All samples were photographed and subsequently analyzed using the Adobe Photoshop software, by the RGB method. Afterwards, the pigmented ligatures were inserted in a patient wearing orthodontic brackets, and zoomed photographs of the smile were taken and presented to 40 evaluators, who filled in a satisfaction scale sheet to express their opinion on the smile aesthetics of each photograph. The color data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey tests. Results: The substance with the highest pigmentation potential was coffee (p< 0.05) followed by red wine (p< 0.05). Comparison among the brands used in this study showed that American Orthodontics and Orthometric had the lowest degree of pigmentation when immersed in coffee and red wine (p< 0.05), respectively. However, the brand that showed the highest level of satisfaction among the evaluators was Ortho Technology. Conclusions: The presence of pigmented elastomeric ligatures affected smile aesthetics, when compared with the control group.

ABSTRACT Objective: This paper aims to verify the thermodynamic, mechanical and chemical properties of CuNiTi 35ºC commercial wires. Methods: Forty pre-contoured copper-nickel-titanium thermodynamic 0.017 x 0.025-in archwires with an Af temperature of 35°C were used. Eight wires from five different manufacturers (American Orthodontics® [G1], Eurodonto® [G2], Morelli® [G3], Ormco® [G4] and Orthometric® [G5]) underwent cross-sectional dimension measurements, tensile tests, SEM-EDS and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests. Parametric tests (One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-test) were used, with a significance level of 5%, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test was performed between the Af and chemical elements of the wires. All sample tests and statistical analyses were double-blinded. Results: All wires presented standard dimensions (0.017 x 0.025-in) and superelastic behavior, with mean plateau forces of: G1 = 36.49N; G2 = 27.34N; G3 = 19.24 N; G4 = 37.54 N; and G5 = 17.87N. The Af means were: G1 = 29.40°C, G2 = 29.13°C and G3 = 31.43°C, with p>0.05 relative to each other. G4 (32.77°C) and G5 (35.17°C) presented statistically significant differences between each other and among the other groups. All samples presented Ni, Ti, Cu and Al in different concentrations. Conclusions: The chemical concentration of the elements that compose the alloy significantly influenced the thermodynamic and mechanical properties.

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the color of different orthodontic resin bonding agents exposed to three antiseptic mouthrinses for a prolonged time interval (10-year aging simulation). Methods: 160 specimens were distributed into four groups, according to the orthodontic resin bond agent (Concise, Transbond XT, Transbond Plus Color Change, and Natural Ortho). Each group was exposed to different antiseptic mouthrinses: alcohol-based (Listerine®), alcohol-free (Oral-B®), chlorhexidine (Periogard®) and distilled water as the control. Specimens were submitted to two cycles of staining and artificial aging. Color was evaluated by means of a digital spectrophotometer at the beginning of the experiment and after every cycle. The system used to assess color changes was the CIE L*a*b*. Data was analyzed using the ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test. Results: After simulation of 10 years of aging, Transbond XT and Natural Ortho composites presented no statistically significant differences in ∆E when exposed to different mouthrinses. The Concise composite specimens exposed to alcohol-free mouthrinse presented a significant difference when compared with specimens from the same group exposed to other antiseptic mouthrinses. Transbond Plus Color Change specimens exposed to chlorhexidine mouthrinse and to alcohol-containing mouthrinse presented a significant difference when compared with the specimens from the group exposed to water and alcohol-free antiseptic. Conclusion: All orthodontic resin bonding agents tested presented clinically perceptible color changes when exposed to at least one of the mouthrinses, except for the Natural Ortho composite. The Concise composite exposed to the alcohol-free solution was the resin that presented the highest color change values.

3'-DGE High Throughput RNA Library Preparation v2
Authors: Boswell Sarah , Mills Caitlin , Price Feodor , Rudnicki Stewart
Published: May 2021

This protocol is for the high-throughput transcriptome screening method called, 3’ Digital Gene Expression (3’-DGE). In this method RNA is purified from cell lysate and cDNA is generated by oligo dT priming, during which unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) are incorporated and strand-specificity is preserved. The 3’-DGE protocol has been optimized for 384 well plate experiments with a few thousand cells per well. The 3’-DGE method and a similar method known as DRUG-seq have been shown to be able to recapitulate 85% of the transcriptome you can obtain with standard mRNA-seq. In our experience using 3’-DGE we sequence each well at a low depth, aiming for ~1 million reads per sample which allows us to asses 40-80% of the transcriptome depending on the cell type. It is possible to sequence these samples to a greater depth if warranted. It is important to keep in mind that in 3’-DGE, and most low-input methods, only the 3’ poly-A end of the transcript is preserved. Therefore, this technique cannot be used if it is important to capture splice-isoforms or transcripts that do not have a poly-A tail. This is a modification of the SCRB-seq protocol originally published here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/003236v1; Recognition also goes to the Enard group and their modifications to SCRB-seq found here: https://www.protocols.io/view/mcscrb-seq-protocol-p9kdr4w The home-brew SPRI beads used in this study are made with this protocol: dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bkppkvmn
Drosophilid species (Insecta, Diptera) in the Brazilian savanna are more symmetric in the dry season
Authors: Costa Nascimento Luciana , Das Chagas Roque Machado Francisco , Tidon Rosana
Published: May 2021

The development of an organism is a controlled process, which can be disrupted by genetic or environmental stress. Although fluctuating asymmetry is widely used as an indicator of developmental instability, its effectiveness has been questioned due to the contradictory results produced by this technique which, at least in part, probably reflects methodological inappropriateness. Here, we investigated if wing asymmetry of drosophilids increases when they develop during the dry season in the Brazilian savanna, considered a stressful season for these insects. Using protocols designed to avoid methodological problems, we analysed the wings of Zaprionus indianus and three species of the genus Drosophila (D. mercatorum, D. simulans, and D. sturtevanti). Surprisingly, the flies were more asymmetrical in the rainy season than in the dry season, although this difference was not always significant. It is suggested that the wings of these insects are submitted to strong natural selection throughout the dry season, when the asymmetric individuals would have less chance of surviving. During the wet season, on the other hand, selective pressures would be more relaxed. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that asymmetry of the wings is not a good indicator of natural environmental stress in drosophilids. Future research should focus on selectively neutral characters.

Published: May 2021

The electromagnetic field is a fundamental factor of objective reality, when exposed to the brain causes the appearance and development of a complex of functional changes that help in the study of the properties of the nervous system itself. Non-invasive neuromodulation is a therapeutic exogenous effect on various parts of the nervous system (mainly vegetative) with the help of electromagnetic physical (electric, magnetic) factors in the course of drug therapy in accordance with the standards of care specifically for each nosological form. The article discusses the role of interhemispheric asymmetry in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases and effectiveness of the method of transcranial electrostimulation with feedback in the form of electroencephalography using the apparatus TATOS in the rehabilitation of patients with cerebrovascular pathology, including early recovery period of ischemic stroke
Purpose: to identify clinical and neurophysiological features in patients with cerebrovascular pathology during transcranial electrotherapy with feedback.
Material and methods. Total 105 patients with vascular pathology of the brain were studied, including 35 patients after ischemic stroke in the early recovery period with mild or moderate neurological symptoms, 70 patients with chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency. The average age is 56 3.6 years old. A comprehensive clinical, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging study was conducted. The course of non-invasive neuromodulation was performed against the background of medical treatment in accordance with the medical standards with the use of a pulse generator TETOS with feedback in the form of electroencephalography.
Results. The study of the parameters of neurodynamic interhemispheric asymmetry showed that in patients who underwent onmc in the left middle cerebral artery basin, the localization of the ischemic lesion in the right middle cerebral artery basin was observed in the form of an increase in the interhemispheric coherence of the main electro-encephalographical rhythms with a predominance of slow-wave activity. After a course of non-invasive neuromodulation, the majority of patients in the main group noted an improvement in their well-being: headaches, dizziness, irritability, anxiety and anxiety, tension, significantly improved emotional state, and sleep normalized. The study of parameters of dynamic interhemispheric asymmetry has shown that when conducting transcranial electrotherapy with feedback in patients who have undergone stroke, depending on the localization, its decrease is noted, as well as normalization of the distribution of alpha rhythm in zones, depending on the localization of the focus.
Conclusions. The overall assessment of the effect of treatment in the whole group revealed a clear prevalence of positive results when using TАTOS-therapy.

Authors: Khaliullin Rustam I.
Published: May 2021

Objective. To solve the problem of correction of involutive changes in the periorbital region, it is necessary to approach from the position of a multidisciplinary approach, since a wide range of problems that need to be solved is possible in this localization. Laser therapy methods have been the standard for correcting age-related changes for many years. However, many questions of combined methods remain open, so the search and development of the most effective protocols for their use is an urgent task of modern medicine.
Purpose of the study. Based on the study of the results of clinical efficacy and taking into account the indicators of quality characteristics of the skin, as well as microcirculation, to develop a combined method for correcting involutive skin changes in the periorbital region in young and middle-aged patients using fractional Nd:YAG and CO2 laser in combination with lower transconjunctival blepharoplasty.
Material and methods. The study involved 108 patients with involutive changes in the skin of the lower eyelid. Depending on the method of treatment, patients were divided into groups. Special methods were used in the study: the study of qualitative characteristics of the skin (cutometry, TEVA-metry, corneometry), microcirculatory processes using laser flowmetry.
Results. The effectiveness of the developed combined method is based on a pronounced positive effect on the active and passive mechanisms of hemodynamics at all levels of the microcirculatory bed, which is confirmed by an increase in the integral indicator of MC by 45.92% against 26.35% and 5.77% in the comparison groups, while the coefficient of variation of the indicator of MC increased by 33.02% against 24.19% and 6.46% after applying the components of the method. The use of the combined treatment method leads to the restoration of skin quality characteristics: the moisture index increased by 27% (p 0.05) compared to 14.1%, 7.8% in groups 1 and 2, respectively, the transepidermal water loss index decreased by 47% (p 0.05) (compared to 35%, 12.7% in groups 1 and 2, respectively), the ua/Uf elasticity index increased by 23.2% (p 0.05) (compared to 18.4%, 16.4% in groups 1 and 2, respectively).
Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted research it can be concluded that the developed combined method of treatment is highly effective.

Published: May 2021

Amaç: Bu araştırma ilk kez baba olanlarda doğum sonu depresyon ve psikososyal belirleyicilerini saptamak amacıyla yapıldı.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma ilişkisel tanımlayıcı tipte yapıldı. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan bir ilin merkez ilçelerine bağlı iki farklı Aile Sağlığı Merkezine kayıtlı 3-6 aylık bebeği olan 250 baba oluşturdu. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Edinburg Postpartum Depresyon Skalası (EPDS), Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile toplandı. Doğum sonu depresyonun belirleyicilerini incelemek için çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Araştırmada babaların %18.8’inde (n=42) doğum sonu depresyon riski olduğu belirlendi (EPDS≥12). Babalarda doğum sonu depresyon ile sürekli kaygı arasında pozitif yönde, depresyon ile sosyal destek ve sosyal destek alt boyutları (aile, arkadaş ve özel insan) arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Regresyon analizi sürekli kaygının, sosyal desteğin ve aile tarafından verilen sosyal desteğin babalarda doğum sonu depresyonun önemli belirleyicileri olduğunu gösterdi.

Sonuç: Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular sonucunda yüksek kaygı düzeyinin, yetersiz sosyal desteğin ve yetersiz aile desteğinin doğum sonu dönemdeki babalarda depresyonun önemli belirleyicileri olduğunu göstermektedir. 3-6 aylık bebeği olan babalarda depresyon riskini azaltmak için kaygılarının giderilmesi ve sosyal desteklerinin artırılması yardımcı olabilir.

Published: May 2021

The education process, which has undergone digital transformation due to factors such as the transition
to information society, change in technology, social dynamics, and globalization, has also affected the
discipline of public relations. In this direction, the study aims to systematically obtain expert opinions
on the digitalization process in public relations education. In addition, this study further aims to make
predictions of public relations education, reveal expert opinions, and reach consensus with the panel
members consisting of 15 academicians/experts in the field of public relations. The results of the
research, which applied Delphi technique as a method, pointed out that the panel members reached
a consensus on 50 variables in 3 rounds in total. In this regard, there was one particular opinion that
was emphasized in the field work: flipped and blended education models were considered as the most
successful and efficient digital education models during public relations education’s digitalization
process. According to another finding of the study, flexibility and adaptability, social and cross-cultural
skills, communication and collaboration, information literacy, ICT literacy, and global awareness are
among the most important skills and themes that both academics and students should have in public
relations education’s digitalization process. Finally, the research findings show that in competencies
(proficiency-qualification), learner competence for academicians and creative communicator
competence for students came to the fore.

Published: May 2021

Aim      To study the effects of pre- and postoperative anemia on the risk and the structure of internal organ dysfunction in patients undergoing surgery for acquired heart diseases (AHD).

Material and methods  This was a retrospective cohort study including 610 primarily operated patients with AHD. A comparative analysis of the incidence and the structure of internal organ dysfunction was performed, and the likelihood of intraoperative hemotransfusion was determined for patients with preoperative anemia (Hb <130 g/l) and without it. The incidence and the nature of internal organ damage were compared in patients with postoperative Hb < 90 g/l and 90–130 g/l.

ResultsThe presence of postoperative anemia detected in 45 % of patients at two days after the surgery 6-fold increased the risk of acute heart failure (odds ratio [OR], 5.75; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.23–26.84; р=0.016), 4-fold increased the risk of multiorgan failure (MOF) (OR, 4.2; 95 % CI, 1.16–15.64; р=0.03), and 5-fold increased the likelihood of hemotransfusion (OR, 4.74; 95 % CI, 3.12–7.19; р<0.0001). Severe and moderate anemia (Hb <90 g/l) was observed in 11.2 % of patients, which presence 6-fold increased the risk of brain dysfunction (OR, 5.72; 95 % CI, 2.17–15.06; р=0.001) and MOF (OR, 5.97; 95 % CI, 1.94–18.35; р=0.004) compared to patients with Hb 90–130 g/l.

Conclusion      In patients with AHD, postoperative anemia increases the risk of circulatory decompensation at two days after the surgery and of MOF and also increases the likelihood of intraoperative hemotransfusion; postoperative anemia with Hb <90 g/l increases the risk of brain damage and MOF.

Aim    To study the etiology and the dynamics of prevalence and mortality of CHF; to evaluate the treatment coverage of such patients in a representative sample of the European part of the Russian Federation for a 20-year period. Material and methods    A representative sample of the European part of the Russian Federation followed up for 2002 through 2017 (n=19 276); a representative sample of the population of the Nizhny Novgorod region examined in 1998 (n=1922).Results    During the observation period since 2002, the incidence of major CHF symptoms (tachycardia, edema, shortness of breath, weakness) tended to decrease while the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases has statistically significantly increased. During the period from 1998 through 2017, the prevalence of I-IV functional class (FC) CHF increased from 6.1 % to 8.2 % whereas III-IV FC CHF increased from 1.8 % to 3.1 %. The main causes for the development of CHF remained arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease; the role of myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus as causes for CHF was noted. For the analyzed period, the number of treatment components and the coverage of basic therapy for patients with CHF increased, which probably accounts for a slower increase in the disease prevalence by 2007–2017. The prognosis of patients was unfavorable: in I-II FC CHF, the median survival was 8.4 (95 % CI: 7.8–9.1) years and in III-IV FC CHF, the median survival was 3.8 (95 % CI: 3.4–4.2) years.

In recent years there has been significant interest in treating iron deficiency (ID) in patients with heart failure (HF) due to its high prevalence and detrimental effects in this population. As stated in the 2020 Russain HF guidelines, Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose remains the only proven therapy for ID.This document was prompted by the results from the recent AFFIRM-AHF trial which demonstrates that treatment of ID after acute HF decompensation reduces the risk of future decompensations. Experts have concluded that in HF patients with acute decompensation, a left ventricular ejection fraction of < 50% and ID, Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose reduces future HF hospitalisations. Patients with stable HF may also benefit from treatment of ID to improve quality of life and alleviate symptoms.  It is, therefore, reasonable to screen for and treat ID in patients with HF.

Memória e olhar como mecanismos de (re)leitura da história
Authors: Silva Gisele Reinaldo
Published: May 2021

Abordaremos, neste artigo, a indissociabilidade das experiências – olhar e memória – a despeito da tendência moderna de considerá-las desacordes. Consideramos que a memória e o esquecimento são fundamentais para as hierarquias de poder entre as classes, grupos e indivíduos que dominaram ou dominam as sociedades históricas. Nesta pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa, baseamo-nos nas contribuições de Le Goff e Nora (1995) e de Le Goff (1990). Além destes, pautamo-nos em Weinrich (2001) e em Novaes (1988). Concluímos que a memória se desperta tanto em direção ao futuro quanto a respeito das simbologias e esperanças históricas passadas. Já o olhar, ao despertar-se em direção ao passado, instaura um desequilíbrio a respeito do presente, ao denunciar o fetichismo moderno, absorvido como progresso, da mesma forma que anuncia o desequilíbrio a respeito do futuro, pressuposto como curado, em que a história estaria solucionada e controlada por um poder irrepreensível, cujo papel seria de profilaxia social.

Authors: Tsuda Emi , Ward Phillip , Goodway Jacqueline
Published: May 2021

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of improving a physical education teacher’s content knowledge and, in turn, the teacher’s instructional effectiveness and student learning in an upper elementary physical education setting. Four classes were randomly assigned to either a comparison condition (n4th = 9 students; n5th = 17) or an intervention condition (n4th = 7; n5th = 10). The teacher taught both conditions. The teacher first taught two classes in the comparison condition in a manner that he had taught for the past five years. Following the completion of the teaching, he received a content knowledge workshop. After the workshop, the teacher taught two classes in the intervention condition. Assessment of the teacher following the workshop showed that he obtained higher content knowledge scores than prior to the workshop. These improvements in content knowledge positively impacted his enacted teaching with more appropriate task selection and better instruction. Student learning also significantly improved in the intervention condition, not in the comparison condition, from pre- to posttest. The findings of this study extend the research demonstrating the effectiveness of improving the content knowledge of teachers in impacting student learning, in this case in the upper elementary grade band.

For the past few decades, European integration has been one of the primary issues not just in politics, but also in the social sciences. This issue becomes even more important when research takes place in countries where the population is ambivalent in their support for the EU and European integration. The main aims of the study presented in this paper are to determine differences in Serbia and Croatia in pro-European orientation and the perception of European integration (EI) as a threat, and to determine the factors underlying both constructs by focusing on sociodemographic variables, the importance of religion, and different forms of national attachment. The results show that citizens of Croatia have a stronger pro-European orientation, but there is no difference in the perception of EI as a threat. Pro-European orientation is determined by the respondents’ national identity (in both countries) and gender, the importance of religion, and national pride in the state (only in Serbia). The significant predictors for the perception of EI as a threat were constructive patriotism and national pride in successful individuals (in Serbia), blind patriotism (in Croatia) and the importance of religion (in both countries).
Materialidades sagradas
Authors: Puglisi Rodolfo
Published: May 2021

Dialogando con las problematizaciones antropológicas sobre el cuerpo y los estudios sobre religión material, en este trabajo proponemos enfocar teóricamente a la corporalidad y los objetos bajo una perspectiva más amplia, que podemos denominar la “materialidad de lo sagrado”, la cual destaca cómo cuerpos y objetos configuran y posibilitan la relación con lo sagrado. En el seno de estas discusiones analizaremos especialmente el caso de las reliquias, ya que debido a su carácter liminar entre cuerpo y objeto, entre persona y cosa, constituyen a nuestro juicio un campo prolífico donde avanzar en un programa de investigación en el que confluyan los estudios sociales sobre el cuerpo y aquellos sobre la dimensión material del fenómeno religioso. El artículo discute todas estas cuestiones recuperando materiales empíricos provenientes de nuestra investigación etnográfica del movimiento Sai Baba.

Published: May 2021

Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, work is no longer being conducted in the traditional manner. This has created pressure on businesses to shift into a mode of remote working in order to avoid severe disruption. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has attempted to face challenges accompanying this crisis and explore solutions with the wise vision and constant support of its leadership. This paper examines the transition of working procedures at one of the most influential entities in the UAE; the Ministry of Education (MOE). The purpose here is to shed light on how obstacles have been turned into opportunities in order for MOE employees to continue working remotely during such critical conditions. This is illustrated by the efforts of ministry departments that were interviewed for their feedback during the study. This paper provides insights into the activation of remote work in response to sudden incidents by highlighting measurements and factors that contribute to entities’ readiness for such a transition. This study analyzes the value and originality of MOE remote working practices and their impact on the wider community.

Canopy shading is a widely used viticultural strategy for mitigating early grape berry ripening caused by global warming. In this study, we covered half of the canopy with a black shade cloth from the pea-size stage to harvest. In the fruit zone, canopy shade treatment (ST) reduced daily average solar radiation by about 74.6 % compared to the untreated control (UC), and significantly reduced daily average temperature. ST leaves were found to have lower net assimilation rates and higher internal CO2 concentration than in UC, which resulted in reduced yield, bunch weight, cane starch and berry total soluble solids. A delayed development stage was found in ST berries which had lower pH and higher titratable acid than UC. ST increased both berry and wine anthocyanin concentration while significantly decreasing flavonol concentration. ST wines had higher concentrations of a number of ester compounds and β-damascenone than UC wines, thus significantly enhancing the floral and fruity aroma of ST wines. Higher C6/C9 and fatty acids concentrations in ST berries may have caused higher ester concentrations in ST wines. The results showed significant effects on metabolites in berries and wines caused by canopy shade.
