Published: April 2019

Relevance. The high incidence of diseases of the liver and other organs of digestion in employees of State Fire Service of EMERCOM of Russia results from exposure to harmful chemical factors when performing professional tasks. Currently, the growing interest of the medical scientific community and practitioners is the nutritional support for the treatment of diseases of the digestive system. Therefore, the study aimed at substantiating the effectiveness of nutritional support in the treatment of liver diseases is certainly relevant.

Intention. To scientifically substantiate effectiveness of enteral nutrition in the treatment of patients with liver diseases. Method. From 2015 to 2018, 237 patients, middle-aged men (56.4 ± 9.4) years, with liver diseases and trophic insufficiency of moderate severity were examined. All subjects were divided into 2 groups, the first group consisted of 121 people receiving enteral nutrition with Nutricomp HEPA liquid, the second group consisted of 116 people treated without enteral support. To assess the effectiveness of enteral nutrition in the treatment of liver diseases, the following were analyzed: trophological status, biochemical parameters of the protein fraction of peripheral blood, proteins of the blood coagulation system and the activity of transaminases. The indicators of self-assessment of quality of life before and after treatment were also analyzed.

Results and Discussion. Nutraceuticals, compared to no enteral nutrition, significantly reduced the concentrations of ammonia, increased concentrations of albumin, product of protein metabolism, indicators of blood coagulation and the activity of transaminases. They have significantly increased body mass index, and body mass deficit decreased. After treatment with enteral nutrition in patients, self-assessment of quality of life was significantly higher than in the group not receiving enteral nutrition.

Conclusion. Thus, the use of nutraceuticals for enteral support of patients with reduced trophological status can significantly improve the effectiveness of therapy, promotes faster recovery and reduces time spent in hospital.

ALGORITHM OF MESH DEFORMATION FOR ACCOUNTING CYCLIC BLADE CONTROL AND BLADES FLAPPING IN THE PROBLEM OF HELICOPTER MAIN ROTOR MODELING
Authors: Vershkov V. A.
Published: April 2019

This paper presents the developed algorithm for numerical grid deformation for solving the problems of modeling the flow around the helicopter main rotor in the horizontal flight mode with allowance for flapping movements and cyclic changes in the angle of the blade installation. In general, this algorithm can be applied to simulate the aerodynamics of solid bodies deviating from its initial position at angles up to 90 degrees in the vertical and horizontal planes relative to the origin point, and also performing a rotational motion at an angle up to 90 degrees around the axis through the center of coordinates and the body mass center. The first part provides a brief overview of the existing methods of the computational grid deformation for solving various problems of numerical simulation. These include methods for rebuilding the grid, moving grids and "Chimera" grids. The second part describes the algorithms for allocating of grid deformation and for finding the final coordinate of the computational grid nodes in the presence of a predetermined blade control law. The equations of the deformation zones shape in numerical grid are given. The influence of variables on zones sizes is shown. The third part presents the results of methodological calculations confirming the performance and limitations when choosing mesh deformation zones. The influence of the size and shape of the deformation zones of the numerical grid on the quality of the mesh elements is also shown. This work is methodical in nature and is a preliminary stage in the numerical modeling of the flow around the helicopter main rotor taking into account the automatic main rotor balancing and blades flapping.
Tiban Market and Utilization of Public Areas in the Maqasid Syari'ah Perspective: Perception of Islamic Scholars and Traders
Authors: Hidayah Alfi
Published: April 2019

The utilization of state-owned public areas is widespread in various places, not only locally but also nationally. This research examines critically the use of public areas by tiban market traders for the purpose of trading in Warungasem District, Batang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. In addition, this study explores the perceptions of Islamic scholars (ulama), traders and the government on the use of public areas as trade locations. Public land use is examined through qualitative research, with data collection techniques: interviews, observation and documentation, and analyzed with interactive models. This study finds that trading on the highway is actually not permitted by regulation. Both traders and the government have the same point of understanding. Traders continue to use highways as stalls solely to fulfill clothing, shelter and food needs, because they do not own land. Meanwhile, the scholar's perception of the use of the public arena is polarized into two, which is permissible and not. For those who allow it, the existence of the tiban market is considered to have more benefits than dangers. On the contrary, by referring to the maqasid syari'ah, the scholars allow on the grounds of the tiban market  have fundamental benefits both economically, socially and can prosper the people, in the midst of the country which is less concerned with the growth of economic populism.
The Relationship between Ambidextrous Knowledge Sharing and Innovation within Industrial Clusters: Evidence from China
Authors: Han Ying
Published: April 2019

Aim/Purpose: This study examines the influence of ambidextrous knowledge sharing in industrial clusters on innovation performance from the perspective of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities.

Background: The key factor to improving innovation performance in an enterprise is to share knowledge with other enterprises in the same cluster and use dynamic capabilities to absorb, integrate, and create knowledge. However, the relationships among these concepts remain unclear. Based on the dynamic capability theory, this study empirically reveals how enterprises drive innovation performance through knowledge sharing.

Methodology: Survey data from 238 cluster enterprises were used in this study. The sample was collected from industrial clusters in China’s Fujian province that belong to the automobile, optoelectronic, and microwave communications industries. Through structural equation modeling, this study assessed the relationships among ambidextrous knowledge sharing, dynamic capabilities, and innovation performance.

Contribution: This study contributes to the burgeoning literature on knowledge management in China, an important emerging economy. It also enriches the exploration of innovation performance in the cluster context and expands research on the dynamic mechanism from a knowledge perspective.

Findings: Significant relationships are found between ambidextrous knowledge sharing and innovation performance. First, ambidextrous knowledge sharing positively influences the innovation performance of cluster enterprises. Further, knowledge absorption and knowledge generation capabilities play a mediating role in this relationship, which confirms that dynamic capabilities are a partial mediator in the relationship between ambidextrous knowledge sharing and innovation performance.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The results highlight the crucial role of knowledge management in contributing to cluster innovation and management practices. They indicate that cluster enterprises should consider the importance of knowledge sharing and dynamic capabilities for improving innovation performance and establish a multi-agent knowledge sharing platform.

Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers could further explore the role of other mediating variables (e.g., organizational agility, industry growth) as well as moderating variables (e.g., environmental uncertainty, learning orientation).

Impact on Society: This study provides a reference for enterprises in industrial clusters to use knowledge-based capabilities to enhance their competitive advantage.

Future Research: Future research could collect data from various countries and regions to test the research model and conduct a comparative analysis of industrial clusters.
Arap Nevâdir Eserleri Örnekliğinde Mizahın Toplumsal Ve Siyasal İşlevi
Authors: UZ Emin , EFİL Muhammed
Published: April 2019

Mizah sanatı aslında insanın yaratılışından beri kendisine bahşedilen fıtri bir yeteneğe işaret etmektedir. Bu nedenle de yüzyıllardır çok sayıda bilim dalının konusu olmuş ve bilim adamlarının dikkatini celp etmiştir. Bununla birlikte mizah konusu telif eserlerde ciddiyet kaygısıyla hak ettiği düzeyde işlenmemiştir. Nitekim ilk ve orta çağlarda bu konu bugüne kadar Arap Dili ve Edebiyatı alanında yapılmış olan çalışmalara göz atıldığında, bu sahanın insanlar tarafından yeterince tanınmadığı anlaşılmakta, bunun bir sonucu olarak da, ne akademik çevrelerde ne de popüler kültürde söz konusu alana dair makul bir ilgi ve alakanın oluşmadığı görülmektedir.Tarihin seyri içerisinde talihsiz addedilebilecek bu durum bir nebze olsun dönüşüme uğramış ve son yıllarda insan davranışlarıyla ilgili araştırmaların çerçevesinin genişlemesiyle bazı bilim adamları mizahın insanların görüşlerini, değerlerini ve düşüncelerini ifade etmedeki rolünün farkına varmışlardır.Mizah, gülme tepkisinin yanında eleştiri, saldırı ve kimi zaman savunma gibi hususları da devreye sokmak suretiyle toplumsal muhalefet konusunda daha işlevsel hale getirilebilir. Keskin ve sivri bir dil ve aynı zamanda, bir durumun saçmalığını, yanlışlığını belki dolaylı ama etkili bir şekilde dile getirme biçimi olmuştur.  Dolayısıyla mizah asli anlamda, insan ve topluma yönelik vurgusuyla, bir çeşit iletişim dilidir. Böylece toplumsal bir olay veya durum karşısında insanları kenetleyen, ilişkileri geren, ayrıştıran, birleştiren, belli bir hiyerarşi içinde tasnif eden bir unsur olarak mizahın kullanım biçimleri toplumsal bir anlama işaret eder. Bu nedenle mizahın toplumsal bir varlık olan birey üzerindeki özgürleştirici etkisini belki de en açık olarak görebileceğimiz alan politikadır.
Arap Dili Gramerinde Şibh-i Cümle Ve Taalluk
Authors: ULUGÖL Fatih
Published: April 2019

Arap dilinde cümleyi oluşturan ve müsned-müsnedun ileyh diye adlandırılan iki ana unsur vardır. Cümle içerisinde asıl olan bu iki unsur, fiil cümlesinde fiil ve fâil, isim cümlesinde ise mübtedâ ve haber olarak bulunur. Bazen de cümle içerisinde bu ikisi dışında kalan, çoğu zaman ana düşünceyi ve cümlenin ifade ettiği temel manayı sunma hususunda kendilerinden müstağni olunabilen, ancak söylenmek istenen manayı tamamlama, manası kapalı olan cümleye açıklık getirme, genel manayı tahsis etme gibi amaçlarla kullanılan ve nahiv ilminde fazla (الفضلة) diye isimlendirilen mef’ûl, hâl, temyiz vb. yan ögeler bulunur. Bu öğelerden biri de şibh-i cümle diye adlandırılan zarf ve câr-mecrûrdur. Bunlar fiilin meydana geldiği zaman, mekân, şekil, durum vb. yönlerle cümlede eksik kalan manaları ortaya çıkarıp kastedilen mananın eksiksiz bir şekilde ifade edilebilmesi hususunda son derece önemli bir rol oynarlar. Bu vazifeyi yerine getirirken de cümle içerisinde zikri geçen ya da karîneler yoluyla anlaşılan fiiller ile çok sıkı bir irtibat (taalluk) içerisinde bulunurlar. Bu sebeple mananın sağlıklı bir şekilde anlaşılabilmesi, bu irtibatın doğru bir şekilde tespit edilmesine bağlıdır. Bu makalede şibh-i cümle konusu zarf, câr-mecrûr ve taalluk alt başlıklarıyla ele alınmaktadır. Istılahların kelime tahlillerinin yapılması, konuyla ilgili bazı meselelerin ele alınması ve konu etrafında dilcilere ait bazı farklı bakış açılarının irdelenmesi suretiyle Arap gramerinde son derece önemli bir yeri olan bu konunun kavranmasına yönelik katkıda bulunulması amaçlanmaktadır.

In last decades, there is an insufficiency of fresh water and construction works are increasing day by day consuming large amount of fresh water. Therefore research is processing on to employ the treated domestic wastewater in the preparation and curing of concrete. In this investigation, the concrete slab specimens casted with normal strength concrete and modified reactive powder concrete. The concrete specimens cast by using fresh water, wastewater, and hospital effluents water. The specimens cured in all water types for 28days and 56 days. At 28days curing with wastewater, a decrease in punching shear strength was observed from 24 kN in case of curing with fresh water to 21 kN and 20 kN in case of curing with wastewater and hospital effluents water respectively. Highest strength is exhibited by 56 days curing age, it was recorded about 32 kN, 24 kN and 23 kN punching shear strength of specimens cured with fresh water, wastewater and hospital effluents water respectively. The excess quantity of bicarbonates in treated domestic wastewater as curing water results a decrease in compressive strength of concrete specimens. Appearance of first crack was also affected significantly by using wastewater and hospital effluents water as curing water; 7.5 kN, 6.5 kN and 6 kN were the first crack loads of normal strength concrete panels cured with fresh water, wastewater and hospital effluents water, and 11 kN, 10 kN and 7.5 kN were the first crack loads of modified reactive powder concrete cured with fresh water, wastewater and hospital effluents water.

Published: April 2019

In a horseshoe spillways, due to the collision of the falling nappes from their surround walls, in the center of spillway’s trough, a spatial hydraulic jump is formed that named “rooster tail”. This study by using the physical model of horseshoe spillway, investigates the form, height and length of rooster tail jump. Based on the analytical methods, the effective parameters on rooster tail jump’s height and height were determined and their interaction was investigated and linear relationships were proposed to predict jump’s length and height. By increasing the amount of water on the spillway’s crest and thereby increasing the velocity of flow nappe at the point of contact with the spillway’s bed, length and high of rooster tail jump, linearly increased. The result also shows that by increasing number of Froude, the length and height of jump increases and by increasing the spillway’s length, the height and length of the rooster tail jump decreases. To control of rooster tail jump in spillway’s model, two different size of end sills Inserted at downstream of spillway  and result shows that by employing a sill with height of 3.8 cm and 7.6 cm, the flow depth, in average, respectively 122% and 272% increase compared to no sill conditions, also flow state change from super-critical to sub-critical. At the sill of 3.8 cm it was observed that the rooster tail jump did not submerged, but at the height of 7.6 cm the jump submerged and static pressure increased more. The results revealed that by placing the sill of 3.8 and 7.6 cm, respectively 45% and 35% of the maximum pressure entering the bed of the spillway at the collision site is reduced.
"AZRAİL İNANCININ TÜRK HALK KÜLTÜRÜNE YANSIMALARI
Authors: ŞİMŞEK Esma
Published: April 2019

İnsan hayatında; doğum, evlenme ve ölüm
olmak üzere üç önemli geçiş dönemi vardır. Günümüze, gelenek şekline dönüşmüş
olarak taşınan birçok inanış, ayin, tören vb. uygulamaların temelinde bu
dönemler yatmaktadır. Doğan her insan vakti geldiğinde ölür. Ancak doğum kadar
tabii olan ölüm, çoğu insan için korkulan ve çekinilen bir durum haline
gelmiştir.

Ölümü kabullenmek istemeyen insanların ruh
halleri, yaşadıkları toplumun kültürel yapısını da etkilemiş ve buna bağlı
olarak; ölümden kaçan, ölümsüzlük ilacını arayan, bulan ve içen kahramanları
konu edinen çeşitli efsane, destan ve masallar ortaya çıkmıştır. Diğer taraftan
İslam dinine göre, insanların canını almakla görevli olan ölüm meleği Azrail’e
dair de bir takım inanış, gelenek ve halk anlatıları yaratılmış, şiirlere,
türkülere, manilere, atasözlerine, deyimlere ve bilmecelere konu edilmiştir. Azrail, fıkra, efsane ve masal gibi anlatı türlerinde de
sıkça rastlanan bir motiftir. Özellikle fıkralarda, korkunun mizahla birleştiği
ironik bir anlatım tarzı hâkimdir. Ölümden kurtulmak isteyen bazı kişiler,
kılık değiştirerek, taklit yaparak ya da pazarlıkla Azrail’i kandırma yoluna
başvururlar. Ama bu tür fıkralarda, her halükârda ölümün vukuu bulacağı,    -Allah istemediği sürece-, Azrail’in
kararını asla değiştirmeyeceği açıkça ifade edilir.

                Bu yazıda, “Azrail” inancının
halk kültürüne yansımaları araştırılarak, dinî ve sembolik yönleriyle
değerlendirilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Published: April 2019

In this study, the centrifuge model tests were used to evaluate the geotechnical properties of fiber reinforced soil walls. The reduced-scale centrifuge models were built and the clay barrier was prepared using kaoline amended silty soil. The unreinforced soil barrier was found to lose their water-tightness and integrity at lower distortion levels compared to fiber reinforced soil barriers. The silty soil used in the centrifuge models, frequently considered as having negligible creep, was ultimately found not to prevent the development of time-dependent deformations. The obtained results revealed the significant time-dependent deformations could be occurred in geotechnical structure of fiber reinforced soil walls wall systems.

Authors: Niknamian Sorush
Published: April 2019

Nowadays, damages caused by flood are deemed as one of the important concerns for urban management. This study aims to analyze effects of coefficient of runoff to urban flood using one of the Best Management Practice (BMP) hybrid techniques with respect to change in use of urban lands and development in urban administration to reduce urban flood discharge. District 4 is one of 22 municipal districts in Tehran city as the east water basin with over 61.4km2. In this investigation, runoff coefficient was calculated by means of Geographic Information System (GIS) to determine rise of this coefficient in hydrological computations using of Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) techniques to adjust urban flood. Similarly, the level of effect was evaluated for four parameters of gradient (slope), roughness coefficient, Curve Number (CN), and impermeability on change of use. With respect to results of sensitivity analysis of peak discharge, this system has the maximum sensitivity in terms of parameter of impermeability percent due to change of use so that following to 10% increase in impermeability, the output discharge of hydrograph runoff was increased 15% and due to 10% reduction in impermeability level, output discharge of hydrograph runoff was decreased 19%. Curve Number (CN) has highest sensitivity after parameter of impermeability percent and following to 10% increase in CN parameter, the output discharge of hydrograph runoff was increased 15% while by 10% reduction in roughness coefficient, output discharge of hydrograph runoff was reduced 8%. After implementation of model with the given mixed scenario through comparing of discharge in 10-year return period, it was characterized that the maximum reduction rates occurred in output No 2 (26.8%) and output No 7 (54.3%).

Authors: Dede Moh.
Published: April 2019

Kota Bandung merupakan salah satu kota dengan tingkat kejahatan tertinggi di Indonesia dan Asia Tenggara (Erizal, 2017). Setiap tahunnya Kota Bandung berkontribusi atas 16 hingga 20 persen crime total di Jawa Barat. Kota Bandung memiliki tingkat kerawanan kejahatan mencapai 65 persen dengan aglomerasi kejahatan berada di wilayah barat dan pusat kota (Dede, Setiawan, & Mulyadi, 2017). Salah satu wilayah di kota ini yang memiliki tingkat kejahatan tertinggi adalah Kecamatan Sumur Bandung. Pada tahun 2017, Sumur Bandung memiliki crime total mencapai 341 kasus dan crime rate mencapai 190,77 (Polrestabes Bandung, 2017). Sebagai fenomena spasial, kejahatan senantiasa memiliki pola sebaran tertentu serta terikat dengan berbagai kondisi lingkungan (faktor eksternal) seperti kependudukkan, ekonomi, morfologi perkotaan, dan intervensi sosial (Matthews, 2013). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh spasial kondisi lingkungan terhadap kerawanan kejahatan di Kecamatan Sumur Bandung.

PANTANG MENYERAH MENUJU HIDUP BERKELIMPAHAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF FILSAFAT ARISTOTELIAN
Authors: Dewantara Agustinus
Published: April 2019

Frase ”pantang menyerah menuju hidup yang berkelimpahan” amat bernuansa teologis. Terminologi ”hidup yang berkelimpahan” pun sebenarnya ditarik dari Injil Yohanes. Tuhanlah Jalan, Kebenaran, dan Hidup. Kebersamaan dengan Tuhan yang seperti itulah yang dinamakan hidup yang berkelimpahan, karena di dalam Dia ada hidup yang sejati. Hidup yang semacam itu tentu tidak terjadi dengan sekali jadi seperti halnya aktivitas bermain sulap. Benar bahwa Tuhan memberi segala rahmat yang manusia perlukan, tetapi kehendak bebas manusia membuat Tuhan manusia memiliki kewenangan penuh untuk membuat pilihan. Manusia bisa memilih Allah dan bisa juga menolak-Nya. Hidup berkelimpahan terjadi ketika manusia mengusahakan diri dengan sadar untuk memilih Allah dan berusaha keras untuk mencapainya.Paham ”kelimpahan Kristiani” tersebut tentu menemukan kendala ketika harus disampaikan dalam bahasa yang universal. Harus ditemukan sudut pandang lain (yang tidak jauh menyimpang dari ajaran Kristiani) yang sekaligus bisa diterima oleh akal sehat setiap manusia, begitu pula bagi mereka yang tidak mengenal Yesus. Filsafat di titik ini diperlukan untuk menemukan pembahasaan lain yang sejalan. Filsafat Thomas Aquinas sebenarnya cukup memadai, tetapi penolakan beberapa aliran yang mempertanyakan mengenai apakah Aquinas sebenarnya seorang filosof atau teolog memberi batu sandungan yang harus dipahami secara bijaksana juga. Tulisan ini akhirnya menjatuhkan pilihan untuk mengkaji pendapat Aristoteles untuk memberi perspektif filosofis bagi argumentasi ”pantang menyerah menuju hidup yang berkelimpahan.”

Reformulation through governmental norm of the strategic option of Romania regarding the financial – administrative decentralisation
Authors: BOSTAN Ionel
Published: April 2019

Through the present paper, the authors propose to bring into the reader's’ attention the most relevant legal aspects that relate to the Romanian problematic of administrative decentralisation after adhering to the European Union. With the declared aim to improve the quality of public services and decrease the differences in the economic and social field of less developed areas, even before adhering to the European Union, the necessity of greater involvement of the local public administration authorities in the management of local interests. This involves the transfer of new powers from the central level in favour of the local level, but it also involves the allocation of additional financial resources. Observing a longer period of time (the last year being 2016), we note that a series of powers concerning health, education, youth, child protection, social assistance, local police, etc. were transferred from the central to the county or local level, but we also note that the funds necessary for proper implementation were not transferred. This is the reason why, by starting from other difficulties of the decentralisation process at the level of territorial – administrative units, we ponder upon the milestones of rethinking the strategic options regarding the decentralisation of the Romanian public administration, referencing the most recent General Strategy of Administrative Decentralisation adopted by the Romanian Government.
Belief Networks as Complex Systems
Authors: Oviedo Lluis
Published: April 2019

There has been extensive work on understanding belief, from a psychological, philosophical and neurobiological perspective. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence has produced compelling developments that can enrich and update the brain-as-a-computer metaphor and has tried to better represent beliefs as cognitive probabilistic processes. In parallel, there has been a surge of research in Complexity Sciences, with applications ranging from Medicine to Finance. Some authors have already linked the connected nature of belief to the behaviour of complex networks. We would like to expand this approach to understand belief as a complex system with the main functions of providing a model of the world –including the individual and her surroundings- and producing guidelines for action. The complex-system perspective allows us to understand some of the properties of belief systems in a comprehensive manner, which many authors have begun to study in isolation. Notably, this provides a framework to study the important phenomena of belief formation and change as processes of emergence and adaptation.
Targeting in Virtual Workspaces: motor learning consolidates spatial memory for performance clusters
Authors: Alicea Bradly , Bohil Corey , Biocca Frank , Owen Charles
Published: April 2019

Our objective was to focus on linkages between the process of learning and memory and the placement of objects within an array of targets in a virtual workspace. Participants were instructed to place virtual objects serially within a three-dimensional target array. One phase presented each target sequentially, and required participants to make timed ballistic arm movements. The other phase presented all nine targets simultaneously, which required ballistic arm movement towards the correct target location as recalled from the learning phase. Movement time and accuracy were assessed using repeated-measures ANOVA, a hierarchical cluster analysis, and a multiple linear regression. Collectively, this revealed numerous speed and accuracy advantages and disadvantages for various positional combinations. Upper positions universally yielded longer movement times and larger error measurements. Individual ability for mental rotation combined with task learning over a fixed training interval was found to predict accuracy for specific locations. The prediction that location influences movement speed and accuracy was supported, but with some caveats. These results may be particularly useful in the design of instructor stations and other hybrid physical-virtual workspaces.
Barriers to Inquiry-Based Instruction
Authors: Boutros Isabella
Published: April 2019

Inquiry-based science instruction has the potential to transform science education for both teachers and students. The implementation of inquiry-based science instruction in school curricula requires not only a shift in teachers’ theoretical perspectives on science and science education, but also a change in school policy. Studies examining the impact of teachers’ theoretical lenses on their teaching practices reveal that teachers who recognize the interplay of science education and society, and the idea that students build knowledge based on preexisting knowledge over time, will be more likely to see the importance of, and attempt to implement, inquiry-based instruction in their classrooms. Additionally, an analysis of policy documents reveals that: organizational change is difficult especially because those creating and implementing the policy do not fully understand or even realize the impact on teachers and students. Teachers should be fully involved in this process. Inquiry-based instruction has the potential to significantly improve the experience of science education for students and should be seriously considered by educators and policy makers.
A Bibliometric Study on Articles Published in PubMed-indexed Prosthodontic Journals in the Year 2016
Authors: Basnet Bishal Babu , Gyawali R. , Allhaj M.N.
Published: April 2019

Introduction: Publication trends of Prosthodontic literature in the PubMed-indexed journals in the year 2016 was studied to assess the number of authors, country affiliation of principal author, international collaboration in authorship, type of studies, major field of study. The bibliometric study helps to determine the scientific growth and development.

Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the prosthodontics literature in PubMed-indexed journals in the year 2016.

Materials and methods: All the published articles excluding the book review, letter to editor, panel discussion etc were assessed and the data regarding the number of authors, affiliation of principal author, international collaboration in authorship, type of studies, number of references were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed for demographic findings.

Results: 645 articles satisfied the inclusion criteria. Principal authors from Asian countries contributed for major bulk of the studies (51%). Major emphasis of study is attracted to dental materials, CADCAM, zirconia, cements (categorized under “other” in this study). The in-vitro studies were more prevalent in the year 2016 (>35%). Though international collaboration has been found in many articles, single authorship has decreased (4.81%).

Conclusion: The collaboration amongst authors is increased but international collaboration is still less and the newer topics of interest are being studied rather than conventional prosthetic sciences.

A Simplified Technique for Fabrication of One Piece Closed Hollow Bulb Obturator for Rehabilitating Young Adult with Total Maxillectomy: A Clinical Report
Authors: Dhital Shaishab , Mathema S.
Published: April 2019

Rehabilitation of patients with a palatal defect requires management of anatomical, functional, esthetics as well as psychological factors. A reduced denture-bearing area, increased inter arch space, and cantilever movement cause complex problems in these palatal defects. Solid obturator is heavy and continuous stresses on the remaining tissues jeopardizes the health, compromise the function of the prosthesis and affect patient comfort. Reducing the weight of the prosthesis by making it hollow prevents the cantilever movement thereby increasing retention, stability and brings improvement in speech by resonance effect. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of young adult patient with total maxillectomy using maxillary hollow bulb obturator fabricated with lost salt technique.
