Authors: Braga Flávia de Paulo , Matos Denise de Souza
Published: October 2023

A resina composta é um material que tem uma grande aceitação, tornando-se amplamente utilizada na dentística restauradora. Em adição a esses materiais restauradores de resultados favoráveis e com o intuito de tornar o tratamento odontológico mais aceitável para o público infantil, foram adicionadas partículas de corantes, obtendo os compômeros coloridos. O presente estudo possui como objetivo avaliar a ação de bebidas ácidas de consumo infantil sobre a superfície de compômeros coloridos. Foram produzidos 60 discos do compômero Twinky Star, nas cores azul e rosa, e 30 discos do compômero Twinky Star Flow, ambos com dimensões de 10mm x 2mm. As amostras foram submetidas a ciclos de imersão nas bebidas Coca-Cola, suco de uva Kapo e em água destilada, simulando as refeições diárias, durante 5 dias. Após cada ciclo, as amostras foram imersas em água destilada e armazenadas em estufa. Ao final dos ciclos, foram realizados testes de microdureza e rugosidade superficial. Os testes não-paramétricos U de Mann-Whitney e de Kruskal-Wallis, seguido por post hoc de Bonferroni, foram utilizados para testar diferença de medianas. Os resultados mostraram que a exposição à Coca-Cola aumentou a rugosidade superficial dos compômeros em comparação com o suco de uva Kapo. No entanto, o grupo exposto ao suco de uva Kapo apresentou uma rugosidade inferior ao grupo controle, sugerindo que outros fatores além do pH podem influenciar na rugosidade dos compômeros.

Authors: Iipumbu Erry N , Gemechu Dibaba B
Published: October 2023

Coronavirus disease well known as COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Several vaccines began to rise in late 2020 and Namibia started administering the COVID-19 vaccine around March 2021. Despite the availability of the vaccination services, there were delays in the acceptance of the vaccination that might result in slow rate of vaccine coverage and hence become an obstacle in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of this study is to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Namibian higher education students by fitting a multinomial logistic regression model. The data was collected using an online anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The study found factors such as field of study, COVID-19 status, trust information from public health experts on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and mandating the COVID-19 vaccine for the public to be significant factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Education on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine should be the main focus during vaccination campaigns. The result of this study could be used as an input in developing a better understanding and redirecting the focus of the vaccine to avoid failure of the vaccination programme.

Published: October 2023

In this study, using data from the 1st year (2015) to the 6th year (2021) of the 2nd wave of the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled's Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED), In order to identify the categorization of the vocational ability of the disabled according to the classification and the influence of ecological factors that affect these categorization, a growth mixture model analysis was conducted. Analysis results, First, it was confirmed that individual differences were significant in the change trajectory of the disabled's vocational ability. Second, as a result of analyzing the growth mixture model for the trajectory of change in the vocational ability of the disabled, it was confirmed that there are three potential classes. The largest proportion of the disabled people's vocational ability was likely to belong to the 'high level maintenance type', followed by the 'low level continued type' and the 'high level reduced type'. Third, among the personal background factors of the disabled, the lower the 'age' and 'spouse', the higher the probability of belonging to the 'high level maintenance type' rather than the 'high level reduction type group' or 'low level continuing type' of vocational ability. . Among the disability characteristics factors, the more 'persons with physical disabilities' and 'mild disabilities', the higher the probability of belonging to the 'high level maintenance type' rather than the 'high level reduction type group' or 'low level continued type' of vocational ability. Among the occupational characteristics factors, the more 'jobs', the higher the 'education level', and the 'health status', the higher the 'high level maintenance type' rather than the 'high level reduction type group' or 'low level continuous type' of vocational ability. I'd say it's more likely to belong.
Exploring the multicultural perception of prospective early childhood teachers
Authors:   The K Association of Education Research, Park Boosook
Published: October 2023

This study, 2nd grade students from the Department of Early Childhood Education at S University in G City developed a multicultural play program through PBL classes, and explored changes in students' multicultural awareness during the development process. As a result of study, the multicultural play program developed by students enabled a play-experientaial understading of diversity, moving beyond a tourism-oriented approach. This multicultural program reflected the play-oriented Nuri curriculum, and resulting in a reduction of biases towards multiculturalism. Students' perception of multiculturalism changed as they realized that multicultural preschoolers were no different from their peers. They also recognized that excessive consideration and kindness towards multicultural individuals could lead to discomfort. Despite feeling anxious about how well they could interact with multicultural individuals after the multicultural education class, they acknowledged the importance of multicultural competencies in the future and expressed their willingness to apply what they had learned. For future research, it is suggested to utilize the compilation of play activities and analyze the outcomes to develop a practical and systematic multicultural program.

Published: October 2023

Industry 4.0 is considered a new industrial stage in which vertical and horizontal manufacturing processes integration and product connectivity can help companies to achieve higher industrial performance. However, little is known about how industries see the potential contribution of the Industry 4.0 related technologies for industrial performance, especially in emerging countries. Based on the use of secondary data from a large-scale survey of 27 industrial sectors representing 2,225 companies of the Brazilian industry, we studied how the adoption of different Industry 4.0 technologies is associated with expected benefits for product, operations and side-effects aspects. Using regression analysis, we show that some of the Industry 4.0 technologies are seen as promising for industrial performance while some of the emerging technologies are not, which contraries the conventional wisdom. We discuss the contextual conditions of the Brazilian industry that may require a partial implementation of the Industry 4.0 concepts created in developed countries. We summarize our findings in a framework, that shows the perception of Brazilian industries of Industry 4.0 technologies and their relations with the expected benefits. Thus, this work contributes by discussing the real expectations on the future performance of the industry when implementing new technologies, providing a background to advance in the research on real benefits of the Industry 4.0.

Authors: H. B. F. Zannatul  , A. Akter  , I. Ferzana  , H. Abdul  , J, G, M, Helal
Published: October 2023

Broccoli is one of the most important, nutrient-rich vegetables among cole crops which belong to the family Brassicaceae. It is known to be a healthy and delectable vegetable which is rich in many nutrients. Biochar is considered as a potential substitute for soil organic matter (SOM). Biochar addition to low organic carbon soils can act as a feasible solution to keep soil biologically active for the cycling of different nutrients. The application of biochar could improve soil fertility, increase crop yield, enhance plant growth and microbialabundance, and immobilize different contaminants in the soil. Due to thelarge surface area of biochar, which generally depends upon the types of feedstock and pyrolysis conditions, it helps to reduce the leaching of fertilizers from the soil and supplies additional nutrientsto growing crops. In view of the above importance all possible issues related to biochar application should beconsidered. Previous literature review shows that applying biochar to the broccoli plant improved only the leaf area and root length with significant changes. The highest yield per plot (4.49 kg), bud weight (499.37g), bud diameter (16.55 cm), and yield per hectare (14.98 t ha-1) of broccoli was found to be significant in biochar treated plot (T2: PSB 100 L/ha + Biochar 30 t ha-1). Considering classiﬁcation of the ﬂowering heads by categories, M (manure pellet) + EB (enriched-biochar amended soil and organic fertilizer) + AND (manure pellet and enriched-biochar amended soil treated with organic fertilization) treatments showed a higher number of ﬁrst category ﬂowering heads with regard to other treatments. Therefore, the use of biochar is an effective approach for potential nutrient reservoir for plants and a good amendment to improve soil properties.

Published: October 2023

The objective of this work is to better understand the use of plants and herbal products for medicinal purposes in Portuguese households, namely which plants are most used and which health conditions are most targeted. It also seeks to evaluate the attitudes and habits related to this use, its role in their health management, the sources of information used and the frequency of consultation with professionals specialized in the area. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire. A total of 210 responses were obtained. 78% of the respondents were female. 71.9% of the respondents had a university degree. 41.4% reported having salary above € 1000 and 27.1% above € 2000. The mean age in the sample was 50.8 years. More than 50% of the respondents reported using medicinal plants in the flu and cough, to aid digestion and to aid sleep. The plants with more respondents were eucalyptus and peppermint (in respiratory conditions), lemon balm (in digestive and nervous conditions), chamomile (in respiratory, digestive and skin conditions), linden (in respiratory and nervous conditions), rosemary (for digestive, circulatory and nervous diseases) and arnica (for joint and skin diseases). The most common form of use was infusion (87.6%), followed by essential oils (51.0%), tablets or similar forms (48.1%) and external forms (46.7%). The most frequent places of acquisition of medicinal plants were the stores of natural products (71.4%). 31.4% of the respondents put medicinal plants as the first option in their health management, and 30.5% said they used them together with conventional medicines. The main sources of information for decisions on this topic mentioned by the sample were family knowledge (54.8%), consultations with naturopaths and similar (41.9%), counseling with friends (37.1%), specialized means in natural health (35.2%) and generalist means (34.3%). 23.8% of the respondents said they make consultations with phytotherapy professionals or naturopaths, while 23.3% said they do it only in severe cases. This study found a substantial use of medicinal plants in Portugal, especially for the mildest health conditions and with the safest plants. The evaluation of the answers in the face of scientific knowledge about the properties of plants points to a mostly correct use. However, the issues of adverse reactions, contraindications and drug interactions were not addressed in this study. We recognize that a reasonably detailed web questionnaire is answered mainly by the people with the most interest in the subject, and therefore the sample obtained may not be representative of the general Portuguese population. Bearing in mind that fact, this study will still provide useful information the most used plants and target conditions, as well as on the usage patterns of the people who use them the most.

Authors: ODU, Caroline Ifechukwude  , Dr. ATU, O.O. Kingsley  , Dr. OZELE, Clement, E
Published: October 2023

The paper investigated the effect of corporate specific attributes on financial performance by employing samples from listed non-financial firms in Sub-Sahara African countries of Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa between the periods of 2012-2021. The study sourced data from annual reports of non-financial firms in Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. The model evidenced that, the series are evenly spread, are not faced with multi-collinearity issues, and that the robust fixed effect model is appropriate for the study since the p-value of the Hausman Test estimated at 0.000 is below 0.05 significant level. Evidently, the results obtain from the fixed effect regression shows that, firm size has an inconsiderable (insignificant) positive effect on firm performance both in Kenya and Nigeria. However, it has an insignificant negative effect on firm performance in the case of South Africa. Again, liquidity (current ratio) has an insignificant positive effect on firm performance. Furthermore, asset tangibility has a negative and insignificant effect on the performance of understudied firms in Kenya but reduce the performance of understudied firms in Nigeria. In the case of South Africa, asset tangibility improves the performance of South African firms minimally. However, only leverage was consisted in the three sampled firms in that leverage has a negative and significant effect on the performance of firms in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. Meanwhile, cash-flow from operations exerted direct yet considerable effect on understudied firms in Kenya but had adverse yet negligible effect on understudied firms in Nigeria. Hence, the paper submits that, managers of SSA firms should endeavor to reinvest profitability into the firm, which will increase the growth of the company and enhance financial performance.

Keywords: Corporate Specific Attributes, Performance, Listed Firms, Sub-Sahara Africa Countries.

Phrenic Nerve Impingement and Effect of Superficial Neck Flexors Stretching in Improving Diaphragmatic Function among Patient with Chronic Neck Pain
Authors: Rai Anushree , Kumari Reena , Aggarwal Parul Raj
Published: October 2023

Background: The phrenic nerve is formed on the lateral border of scalenus anterior. It runs vertically downward on the anterior surface of the scalenus anterior. The muscle is oblique and nerve cross it obliquely from its lateral to medial border. In this part the nerve is related anteriorly sternocleidomastoid. The decline in the diaphragm function can occur due to phrenic nerve block but to the best of our search, there is dearth of literature pertaining to involvement of phrenic nerve in patient with chronic neck pain secondary to superficial neck flexors tightness. So, evaluation of these muscle for tightness may be considered which may affect the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP). Objective: To find the change in diaphragmatic function secondary to phrenic nerve impingement measured through maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) following stretching of superficial neck flexors in patient with chronic neck pain Methods: An experimental (pre-post design) study involving 40 subjects with mean (±SD) age 22.4 ± 2.8 years was performed. Using purposive sampling 40 subjects (77.5% female and 22.5% male) were used to check phrenic nerve impingement by looking at the effect of superficial neck flexors stretching (sternocleidomastoid and anterior scalene) in improving diaphragmatic function in patient with chronic neck pain. The included subject’s diaphragmatic function was measured through maximum inspiratory pressure using a device capsule sensing pressure gauge followed by stretching of superficial neck flexors on both sides. After two minutes of stretching diaphragmatic function was again measured. Results: There was increase in diaphragmatic function following stretching of superficial neck flexors by 13.2cm H2O which was found to be highly significant statistically with p value < 0.01 Conclusion: The result of present study concluded that superficial neck flexors stretching was effective in treating the impingement of phrenic nerve as measured through maximum inspiratory pressure in patients with chronic neck pain.
Abiotic Stress Management in Vegetable Crops
Authors: Kumari Meenakshi , Solankey S.S. , Sinha Neha
Published: October 2023

Vegetables are highly sensitive in nature thus affected by various biotic and abiotic stress. Any adverse effect of non-living elements on living things in a particular habitat is known as abiotic stress. The production and productivity of vegetable crops got highly effected by the extreme event of climate change i.e, heat stress, water stress, drought, heavy rainfall, salinity etc. Vegetables are full of various nutrients which help in lowering the risk of various diseases such as cancer, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes etc. Most of the vegetables contain more than 90% of water thus highly sensitive to climate change. Sudden change in climatic factors like in temperature affects all stages of plant growth, pollination, flowering and fruiting which directly reduces the yields and quality of major vegetables. Vegetable crops like beans or tomatoes may lose some of their blossoms at such high temperatures, especially in dry or windy conditions, which will lead to a poor fruit set. High temperatures may harm sweet corn pollination and result in inadequately filled ears of corn. Few fruits are produced because cucurbits (the family that includes pumpkins and squash) typically develop mostly male flowers when temperatures are high.
Performance Enhancing Drugs and Methods of Doping: Mode of Action and Dope Testing Methodologies
Authors: Chakotiya Ankita Singh , Sharma R.K.
Published: October 2023

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) monitors each sport worldwide to ensure freedom from drug abuse. Abuse of Drugs or procedures specifically which are banned by WADA to artificially enhance the efficiency of sports-person is called DOPING.  The ban is imposed due to the side-effects of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), lack of fairness in sports, and the deterioration of sport for the public. The use of PEDs damaging the spirit of sport, and therefore banned, by WADA and the International Olympic Committee. Fair play is a prerequisite to promote clean and safe sports. Doping is the intentional use of banned PEDs by athletic competitors that may be overtly or covertly assisted by Athlete support personnel. Besides, athletes (or athletic programs) taking unambiguous actions to escape exposure make worse the fair disobedience with dishonesty and cheating. Immunoassay, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS), Gel Electrophoresis, and Bio- /Chem-iluminescence technologies have been traditionally used in dope testing. There is a strong continuous requirement for further improving the quality of dope testing setups, processes, and procedures. Adoption of emerging technologies like metabolomics and the use of other omic technologies shall play a big role in continual improvements in dope testing. The present system in Doping Control is required to function in a more globally competitive, coordinated, and proactive manner. This review will outline a brief overview of the PEDs, their health impacts, history of their use, and their pharmacological impact. It also analyses comprehensive information on the Dope Testing Technologies available and in the offing.
Effectiveness of Distraction Technique on Pain Reduction After Administration Subcutaneous Injection Among Children in Immunization Rooms
Authors: Yadav Sarika , Shokeen Jyoti
Published: October 2023

Pain is described as "an unpleasant, subjective sensory and emotional experience associated with existing or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage," according to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). Suffering results from untreated or ineffectively treated pain. The method of administering medication subcutaneously, which is frequently done by nurses, is associated with discomfort, pain, and injury to the tissue that is being injected. The primary goal of the study was to determine whether using a distraction approach helped children in the immunisation rooms of particular hospitals in Gurugram feel less discomfort after receiving a subcutaneous injection. Materials and Methods: 60 children were chosen by the purposive selection strategy from the hospital Gurugram's immunization rooms. The chosen individuals are then split into two equally sized groups. Results: In the assessment, the experimental group's mean score on the pre-facing rating scale was 6.93, while the control group's was 7.13, with an SD of 1.252. The experimental group's mean score on the post-faces rating scale is 2.00, whereas the control group's is 6.47, with a standard deviation of 1.548. Conclusion : The outcome demonstrates a movement in the sample's level of pain (hurts worse, hurts a lot, hurts a little more, hurts even more, hurts a little, doesn't hurt) in favour of the experimental group. When compared to the control group, it is because of the distraction strategy (an electronic moving toy).

This article focuses on the physiotherapist perspective on the importance of pathophysiology of the Supraspinatus. Tendonitis is a very frequent cause of shoulder pain. The tendinopathy of supraspinatus most frequently affects people involved in various sports driven actions and above the head work in our daily living. It is thought to be caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, but for simplification they were divided into Anatomical, Biomechanical, Vascularity, Activity related, Biochemical and Age-related factors. The following data-bases were searched for both published and unpublished studies in English language for the period of 1962 to 2022: PubMed, EMBRACE, MedLine, Web of Science, Scopus. The following terms were used to carry out the search: Shoulder, impingement, supraspinatus, pain, pathophysiology, physiotherapy implication, athletes, older adults. We conclude that it is important to have in-depth knowledge about these concepts of pathophysiology of pain in terms of all possible etiologies and the healing process which helps the physiotherapist to make wise decisions about the rehabilitation process.

Authors: ÖZÇELİK Sezen
Published: October 2023

In this study, the antimicrobial effects of three different zinc-based nanoparticles, namely zinc oxide (ZnO), zinc chloride (ZnCl2), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4), on food-borne pathogen were investigated. ZnO and ZnCl2 nanoparticles were obtained as commercially, but ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were produced via sol-gel auto-combustion method. From the XRD results of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle, it was found that all the peaks agreed with the literature. However, there was also small amount of the secondary phase peaks corresponding to the ferrite (Fe2O3) phases. Significant differences were observed between the inhibition effects of nanoparticles on bacteria in the disc diffusion method (p<0.005), except for the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticle, which has no effect on bacteria at the used dose. ZnO nanoparticle was observed to have the lowest inhibition zone on the Gram-negative bacterium Campylobacter jejuni of inhibition compared to other test bacteria.

Цель настоящей работы – экспериментальное исследование электромагнитной обстановки в помещении аппаратной солнечно-ветровой электростанции на частотах в диапазоне выше 1 ГГц, не подлежащих государственному лицензированию. Это исследование является продолжением проведённого авторами ранее аналогичного исследования на частотах в диапазоне до 1 ГГц. Оба исследования необходимы для выбора частотного диапазона и технологии радиообмена при организации беспроводного мониторинга работы солнечно-ветровой электростанции (СВЭС) Торайгыров университета. Следовательно, исследование проведено двумя способами: с помощью Wi-Fi модуля, встроенного в ноутбук, и программы NetSpot, а также с помощью специально спроектированного экспериментального передатчика с микроконтроллерным управлением и собранного из готовых модулей приёмника. В работе приведены структурная схема передатчика и схема соединений модулей на приёмной стороне, а также алгоритм передачи цифровых данных, заложенный в программу микроконтроллера, управляющего передатчиком. Более того, кратко описаны функционирование организованного радиоканала и методика записи принятых данных на жёсткий диск персонального компьютера (PC). Обосновано применение для организации технологического радиоканала СВЭС радиомодулей трансиверов вместо Wi-Fi и Bluetooth модулей. В результате, приведены фрагменты записей длительных экспериментов по передаче данных с помощью описанного в статье оборудования и программного обеспечения. Анализ результатов обеих серий экспериментов показал, что из-за сильной загруженности нелицензируемого диапазона 2,4 ГГц его нецелесообразно использовать при организации беспроводной системы сбора данных о работе оборудования СВЭС. Экспериментально установлено, что уверенный радиообмен внутри помещения аппаратной «Зелёной энергетики» не обеспечивается даже с радиомодулями, имеющими 20-кратный гарантированный заводом-изготовителем запас по дальности радиообмена. Поэтому, а также на основании результатов ранее проведённых авторами исследований, принято решение выбрать для организации радиоканала частотный диапазон до 1 ГГц и радиомодули трансиверов с проприетарным протоколом обмена и программной отстройкой от помех.

Pembangunan LPG Refrigerated yang terletak di tuban, Jawa Timur saat ini sedang dalam proses pembangunan. Pengerjaan proyek direncanakan dalam waktu 399 hari dengan nilai total proyek sebesar Rp. 14.584.800.000. Selama pelaksanaan proyek sering mengalami keterlambatan aktivitas pekerjaan yang menyebabkan durasi waktu penyelesaiannya mengalami kemunduran dari jadwal yang telah ditentukan. Akibatnya terjadi penundaan waktu untuk memulai aktivitas pekerjaan berikutnya. Hal tersebut tidak hanya menambah durasi umur proyek, akan tetapi juga mengakibatkan pembengkakan anggaran biaya. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan keterlambatan penyelesaian terhadap suatu pekerjaan meliputi penyediaan bahan baku, keadaan alam, letak geografis dan berbagai unsur lainnya. Dengan demikian perlu diadakan analisa untuk mempercepat durasi proyek, dimana pada penelitian ini akan menggunakan metode Critical Path Method (CPM) dan Time Cost Trade Off (TCTO) untuk melakukan percepatan durasi waktu pada aktivitas yang berada dijalur kritis. Hasil Perhitungan dengan metode Time Cost Trade Off didapatkan durasi dan biaya optimal proyek pembangunan LPG Refrigerated yaitu selama 364 hari dengan penambahan 1 jam lembur yang dapat mempercepat proyek hingga 35 hari dari durasi normal yaitu selama 399 hari dengan total tambahan biaya sebesar Rp. 235.580.228.ABSTRACTThe development of a Refrigerated LPG located in Tuban, East Java is currently under construction. Project work is planned within 399 days with a total project value of Rp. 14,584,800,000. During project implementation, work activities often experience delays which cause the duration of the completion time to experience a setback from the predetermined schedule. As a result, there is a time delay to start the next work activity. This not only increases the duration of the life of the project, but also results in an increase in the budget. Many factors cause delays in the completion of a work including the supply of raw materials, natural conditions, geographical location and various other elements. Thus it is necessary to carry out an analysis to accelerate the duration of the project, which in this study will use the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Time Cost Trade Off (TCTO) methods to accelerate the duration of time for activities that are on a critical path. Calculation results using the Time Cost Trade Off method obtained the optimal duration and cost of the Refrigerated LPG development project, namely for 364 days with the addition of 1 hour of overtime which can accelerate the project by up to 35 days from the normal duration, which is 399 days with a total additional cost of Rp. 235,580,228.
