The administration of local anesthesia constitutes one of the most anxiety-inducing and painful stimuli in pediatric dentistry. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of vibrating device in comparison to the conventional method for mitigating discomfort while administration of local anesthesia. A total of 30 children aged between 6 and 10 years, requiring local anesthesia for routine dental treatment, were allocated into two groups: a control group and an experimental group, with 15 children in each cohort. In the experimental group, a vibrating device was concurrently placed over the cheek during the administration of the local anesthesia. Pain and discomfort were assessed using both the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBFPRS) and the FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, CONSOL ability) scale. It was observed that use of the vibrating device was found to be effective in reducing pain and discomfort during the administration of intraoral local anesthesia.

Direct pulp capping (DPC) is a vital pulp therapy, wherein accidental or carious pulp exposures can be capped with various materials to induce reparative dentine formation. One of the major factors that determine the success of direct pulp capping procedures is the material used. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a new material, Tristrontium aluminate in comparison with the widely used materials such as ProRoot MTA, Biodentine & TheraCal LC. Hence, 40 premolars scheduled for extraction for orthodontic treatment, were equally divided into 4 groups and iatrogenic DPC was done using one of the study materials. The premolars were then extracted after 90 days & assessed for the formation of Dentine Bridge and pulpal response elicited by the materials using CBCT and histopathological analysis. All the materials tested in the study were successful in inducing dentine bridge formation & maintaining pulp vitality. Thus, the novelty of Tristrontium aluminate for potential applications in future is eminent.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a highly effective topical fluoride for halting dental caries; however, it darkens both teeth and restorations. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of glass ionomer cement (GIC) to caries-affected dentin treated with SDF alone and SDF followed by KI. Forty primary molar samples were prepared to reveal a flat dentin surface and were randomly assigned to two groups. In group A, the dentin surfaces were pre-treated with 38% SDF, while in group B, the dentin was treated first with SDF and then with KI before being restored with GIC. The SBS was measured using a universal testing machine. The results show that teeth pre-treated with both SDF and KI demonstrated significantly improved bond strength of GIC to dentin compared to SDF treatment alone.

The Official Travel Order (SPPD) Management System at the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province is an important innovation in enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of official travel administration. Prior to the implementation of this system, SPPD management was carried out manually, leading to various obstacles such as slow processes, administrative errors, and lack of transparency. With the adoption of an information technology-based system, the entire process from creation, approval, to reporting of SPPD can be done electronically. The system provides features for data validation, fillable templates, and automatic notifications to expedite the approval process. Integration with the regional financial system enables more efficient and accurate budget management, while a centralized database simplifies data storage and retrieval. The implementation results show significant improvements in time efficiency, reduction of administrative errors, and enhanced transparency and accountability in the use of official travel budgets. The system also facilitates better data management and supports easier audit processes. Thus, the SPPD Management System at the DPRD of NTB Province has successfully delivered positive impacts on the performance of official travel administration, creating a more productive and responsible work environment.

Functional characteristics of police in a modern democratic state
Authors: Ulynets Volodimyr
Published: August 2024

The article discusses the role of police in modern democracies, focusing on their core functions and how to categorize them. It highlights the need to balance public safety with individual rights as law enforcement adapts to societal changes.
The author reviews various scholarly perspectives on police functions, tracing how these views have evolved since the Soviet era towards a more democratic approach. The paper examines the legally defined duties of Ukraine’s National Police and how these shape the police’s functional priorities.
Emphasizing crime prevention as a key police function in democracies, the author proposes a new classification system for police functions. This system includes five main areas: prevention, protection, crime response, service provision, and information sharing.
The article explores «function» as a legal concept, particularly in relation to policing. It notes that police functions stem from and serve to accomplish their assigned tasks.
In conclusion, the author offers a new definition of police functions in modern democracies, stressing their transparent, apolitical nature and focus on crime prevention and rights protection.
International experience of legal ensuring the management of Land Cadastres in Ukraine
Authors: Havrysh Natalia , Slepnova Kateryna
Published: August 2024

The article describes the foreign experience of land cadastre management, which is a necessary element for the formation and improvement of the national cadastral accounting system, therefore it is useful for every country to use foreign experience.
It has been established that in order to ensure the sustainable development of land relations in Ukraine, it is necessary to improve the current land cadastral system, but in the same way that foreign countries used, being at the same stage of development as Ukraine is now.
It is well-founded that the state cadastre system plays an important role in the economy, law and management of the world’s leading countries, so their experience is important, especially since Ukraine does not have sufficient such experience. Moreover, the existing experience is even harmful, because it is built on the Soviet cost model of economic and regulatory assessment of land and technical inventory of buildings.
It has been proven that until now, society does not understand the importance of cadastral registration of real estate in accordance with world traditions. The consequences of the state monopoly on land, buildings and structures of Ukraine’s Soviet past are traced in the exclusion of the term «real estate» from official use for many years. Until 1962, there was no cadastre, while the land cadastre of Great Britain has been operating since the middle of the 11th century, Sweden since the 16th century, and Prussia since the 18th century. The land cadastre in most countries of Western Europe serves as the basis for building and maintaining various types of cadastre and is based on land plots. Information systems have a significant effect in this. In most countries, objects of immovable property are firmly connected with the land. In order to solve the question, one should carefully study the original interpretation of the «single object of real estate», which is used in Spain and Great Britain. Apparently, in accordance with the principle of «a single real estate object», sooner or later Ukraine will also come to some certainty. Based on the analysis of world experience in this field, it was established that the registration of land rights occupies one of the main places in the compilation and maintenance of the state land cadastre. However, the domestic land registration system is not perfect and requires the development of adaptation measures to the conditions of the European Union (EU). Based on the legal analysis, it was concluded that the development of the national cadastre is practically in its initial state, which is why the experience of other countries is so important to us.

Authors: Kropova Anastasia
Published: August 2024

The aim of the work is a comprehensive analysis of investment law in India.
The methodological basis of the study are official websites of specialized institutions, laws, analytical reports, articles by other scientists, etc.
According to the results of the conducted research, it was found that two main legislative acts regulate investment activities in India. The first piece of legislation is the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, the main objective of which is to promote foreign trade and foreign exchange and to develop and maintain the foreign exchange market in India. According to Section 5 and 6 of the Law, operations with a current currency account are allowed only on the condition that they do not have any restrictions (criminal, state, etc.). Capital account transactions mean transactions during which changes in assets or liabilities occur (referring to liabilities of resident and non-resident persons in relation to assets). The second act – Consolidated Policy on Attracting FDI in India by the Department of Trade and Industry Promotion 2020 – includes clarification of all investment norms. The policy update is in line with the policy of need to attract FDI to India, as per the plans of the Department.
In conclusion, it was found that the legal system of India is based on common law, which is based on English law. According to the Constitution of India, a quasi-federal structure has been approved, which provides for the division of legislative power between the central government and the individual states. Foreign direct investment in India is governed by two main pieces of legislation. The first is the Foreign Exchange Management Act of 1999, its main objective is to facilitate foreign trade and foreign exchange and to develop and maintain the Indian foreign exchange market.

A transnacionalização da esfera pública de Nancy Fraser e o pessimismo antropológico
Authors: Marques Douglas
Published: August 2024

O A transnacionalização da esfera pública, conforme apontado por Nancy Fraser, possui características que são possíveis de se constatar em notícias jornalísticas, contudo, talvez, nem sempre o viés positivo prevalece e influências negativas de outras nações podem acontecer ante à globalização factual, como vista na contemporaneidade. O objetivo geral é verificar se seria possível a convivência harmoniosa e respeitosa entre os seres humanos em um mundo globalizado pós-westfaliano. Para isto, as características da transnacionalização da esfera pública serão comprovadas através de notícias jornalísticas. Em seguida, serão analisadas notícias jornalísticas sob o viés do pessimismo antropológico, que, em suma, aduz que a natureza humana é precipuamente ruim. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa será básica, descritiva e exploratória, qualitativa, dedutiva, indutiva, hipotético-dedutiva, bibliográfica e documental. Por fim, foi possível perceber que a transnacionalização da esfera pública pode ser muito positiva ou negativa a depender dos indivíduos, dos grupos ou das nações que a promovem.

Published: August 2024

This research investigates the types of support that can be provided to female victims in cases of sexual crimes. Victimization of women and the methods of prevention vary from one society to another, depending on temporal, spatial, and especially cultural factors. In Iran, the issue of women’s victimization concerning violence and sexual crimes is closely tied to cultural and religious factors. Consequently, the type of support and preventive measures is also influenced by these factors. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical and relies on library sources. The findings indicate that one of the major issues faced by female victims of sexual crimes is the weakness in the system of evidence. Since most sexual crimes occur in secrecy, the current evidence laws are not applicable. Another right of victims in criminal proceedings is ensuring their safety, which depends on implementing measures to prevent threats or retaliatory actions by the accused or their family. Raising awareness and informing the victim is one of the most important ways to respond to victims' needs. This awareness could pertain to the human and ethical rights of victims, information about the progress of criminal investigations, the timeline of the proceedings, the status of the case, and whether the accused is detained or released on bail or surety. Ultimately, achieving a model of criminal support within the framework of criminal policy not only requires precise and comprehensive planning but also the support of governmental institutions and organizations, including welfare organizations and civil institutions.

Conclusion: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I assays enable rapid AMI rule-out in emergency departments, offering high sensitivity and negative predictive value. However, caution is needed when ruling in AMI, and further research is required to optimize their use.
PARAMETER-UNIFORM HYBRID NUMERICAL SCHEME FOR SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS WITH DISCONTINUOUS INITIAL CONDITIONS
Authors: Sheiso Desta Sodano
Published: August 2024

This article presents a parameter-uniform hybrid numerical technique for singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion problems (SPPCDP) with discontinuous initial conditions (DIC). It utilizes the classical backward-Euler technique for time discretization and a hybrid finite difference scheme ( which is a proper combination of the midpoint upwind scheme in the outer regions and the classical central difference scheme in the interior layer regions(generated by the DIC)) for spatial discretization. The scheme produces parameter-uniform numerical approximations on a piecewise- uniform Shishkin mesh. When the perturbation parameter ε(0 < ε ≪ 1) is small, it becomes difficult to solve these problems using the classical numerical methods (standard central difference or a standard upwind scheme) on uniform meshes because discontinuous initial conditions frequently appear in the solutions of this class of problems. The method is shown to converge uniformly in the discrete supremum with nearly second-order spatial accuracy. The suggested method is subjected to a stability study, and parameter-uniform error estimates are generated. In order to support the theoretical findings, numerical results are presented.

Microbial infections profoundly impact various facets of everyday life, imposing significant economic strains on healthcare systems worldwide and resulting in death. Researchers have made considerable attempts to restrict microbial proliferation, but effective antimicrobial agents still need to be improved. A highly effective strategy for mitigating this challenge involves utilizing antimicrobial materials with chemically embedded or inherent antimicrobial properties. Recently, carbon-based nanomaterials have shown promising antibacterial results. In particular, graphene- and graphene-derived nanomaterials (GMs) demonstrate a broad range of antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These antibacterial activities are attributed mainly to the direct physicochemical interaction between GMs and bacteria that cause deadly cellular component degradation. GMs hold a high affinity for accumulating, leading to membrane damage; similarly, after internalization, they can interact with the bacterial genome, disrupting the replicative stage. Additionally, GMs can indirectly determine bacterial death by activating the inflammatory cascade after entering the physiological environment. This mini-review delves into the potential parameters influencing antimicrobial efficacy, encompassing the number of graphene layers, concentration, size, and structural characteristics. Additionally, it explores the antimicrobial mechanisms exhibited by the graphene family against a spectrum of pathogens. Finally, it presents various antimicrobial applications underlying GMs as promising materials applicable in different fields.
