Authors: TÜLÜCE DEMİRAY Şeyma , CEREN Emre
Published: November 2022

Generalized Kudryashov method (GKM), which is one of the solution methods of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs), has been used to obtain some solutions of Ivancevic option pricing model (IOPM) and (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation (NLWE) in liquid with gas bubbles. Thus, some solutions of the discussed equations have been found such as dark soliton, trigonometric and hyperbolic solutions. Two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) graphics of these solutions have been drawn with the help of Wolfram Mathematica 12.

Authors: KOÇAK Umut Ziya , ÖZTÜRK Orhan , BAYRAKTAR Deniz , ÖZER KAYA Derya
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The objective of the present study was to compare the rates of COVID-19 infection and quarantine periods, and COVID-19 related fear in undergraduate physiotherapy and rehabilitation students who continued their educations as online or face-to-face. Methods: Three hundred and one students who continued their education during the 2020-2021 fall term as online (n= 144, for 1st and 4th degrees), or face-to-face under strict special precautions (n= 157, for 2nd and 3rd grades) were included. Demographic characteristics, COVID-19 infection diagnosis and quarantine due to contact were questioned via a structured online form. COVID-19 related fear was assessed by using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Results: No statistical differences were detected regarding demographical characteristics and COVID-19 infection rates between the groups (p> 0.05). The online education group had higher quarantine rates due to contact with an infected person (p= 0.040), while the face-to-face group reported higher COVID 19 related fear (p= 0.001). Conclusion: According to our results, although the COVID-19-related fears of student who received face to-face education were higher than those who received online education, the quarantine numbers and infection rates were similar in both groups. Our results support that physiotherapy and rehabilitation education can be continued as face-to-face under special precautions. The precautions we used in our study may be benefited to continue face-to-face education in future pandemics.
„Gdybym był nauczycielem...” – refleksje osób ze spektrum autyzmu o wizji nauczyciela
Authors: Błeszyński Jacek
Published: November 2022

Przedstawiony artykuł to część szerszych badań dorosłych z autyzmem. Głównym założeniem cyklu przeprowadzonych badań było wysłuchanie i wsłuchanie się w głos osób najbardziej zainteresowanych, czyli z diagnozą autyzmu. Zebrany materiał pozwolił na przedstawienie poglądów osób z autyzmem, opartych na własnych doświadczeniach, na temat roli nauczyciela - kreatora przestrzeni edukacyjnej. Do tej pory prezentowaliśmy doświadczenia, uwagi nauczycieli i terapeutów, teraz możemy wsłuchać się w głos osób z autyzmem - uczniów, rodziców, nierzadko będących nauczycielami i terapeutami. Wnioski dotyczą odmienności podejścia do procesu nauczania / uczenia się. Wynika to z specyficznych dla tego zaburzenia objawów, jak również zróżnicowanego podejścia edukacyjno – terapeutycznego. Kolejny ma związek ze stosowaniem kar, które poza zakazanymi, często ewoluują w kierunku psychicznych i społecznych, np. izolowanie, marginalizowanie czy brak zainteresowania. Ważne wydaje się zwrócenie uwagi na nieefektywne próby narzucania, uznanych za normatywne form funkcjonowania, jak również traktowanie tych osób jako nie w pełni sprawne intelektualne - co nie jest uwarunkowaniem.
Ragweed is in the Air: Ambrosia L. (Asteraceae) and Pollen Allergens in a
Changing World
Authors: Montagnani Chiara , Gentili Rodolfo , Citterio Sandra
Published: November 2022

Globally Ambrosia species (Asteraceae), commonly called ragweed, are recognized to be
one of the most problematic groups of invasive weeds and one of the main allergenic genus. Climate
and land-use change and air pollution are expected to promote ragweed spread, increase airborne ragweed
pollen concentrations (the source of allergens), extend the pollen season, and promote longdistance
transport of pollen or sub-pollen particles containing allergens. The allergenicity of pollen
itself is going to increase. Likely, all these factors will have meaningful effects in the exacerbation of
the sensitization to ragweed pollen and the severity of allergy symptoms. Globally the major health
concern regards A. artemisiifolia, because of its very wide global distribution and highly invasive behavior.
Together with A. artemisiifolia, also A. trifida and A. psilostachya are species of health concern
distributed across different continents, widespread and invasive in several regions. The present review
summarizes the characteristics of these species and gives an overview of factors contributing to their
allergenicity.
Differentiation of Clear Cell and Non-clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
through CT-based Radiomics Models and Nomogram
Authors: Tuerdi Batuer , Cheng Delu , Abudikeranmu Yeerxiati
Published: November 2022

Purpose:

The aim of the study was to investigate the feasibility of discriminating between
clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and non-clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) via radiomics
models and nomogram.

Method:

The retrospective study included 147 patients (ccRCC=100, non-ccRCC=47) who underwent
enhanced CT before surgery. CT images of the corticomedullary phase (CMP) were collected and
features from the images were extracted. The data were randomly grouped into training and validation
sets according to 7:3, and then the training set was normalized to extract the normalization rule for the
training set, and then the rule was applied to the validation set. First, the T-test, T'-test or Wilcoxon
rank-sum test were executed in the training set data to keep the statistically different parameters, and
then the optimal features were picked based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator
(LASSO) algorithm. Five machine learning (ML) models were trained to differentiate ccRCC from noccRCC,
rad+cli nomogram was constructed based on clinical factors and radscore (radiomics score),
and the performance of the classifier was mainly measured by area under the curve (AUC), accuracy,
sensitivity, specificity, and F1. Finally, the ROC curves and radar plots were plotted according to the
five performance parameters.

Result:

1130 radiomics features were extracted, there were 736 radiomics features with statistical
differences were obtained, and 4 features were finally selected after the LASSO algorithm. In the validation
set of this study, three of the five ML models (logistic regression, random forest and support
vector machine) had excellent performance (AUC 0.9-1.0) and two models (adaptive boosting and
decision tree) had good performance (AUC 0.7-0.9), all with accuracy ≥ 0.800. The rad+cli nomogram
performance was found excellent in both the training set (AUC = 0.982,0.963-1.000, accuracy=0.941)
and the validation set (AUC = 0.949,0.885-1.000, accuracy=0.911). The random forest model with
perfect performance (AUC = 1, accuracy=1) was found superior compared to the model performance
in the training set. The rad+cli nomogram model prevailed in the comparison of the model's performance
in the validation set.

Conclusion:

The ML models and nomogram can be used to identify the relatively common pathological
subtypes in clinic and provide some reference for clinicians.

Authors: Desai Nisheeth , Maheta Abhay , Jethawa Aratiba , Ahmad Iqrar , Patel Harun , Dave Bharti
Published: November 2022

Aim:

This study aims to synthesize antimicrobial agents and their molecular docking,
and DFT studies of benzothiazole-imidazolone scaffolds.

Background:

Benzothiazole and imidazolone analogues are of interest due to their potential
activity against microbial infections. In search of suitable antimicrobial compounds, we report
here the synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of benzothiazole and imidazolone
analogues (4a-l).

Objective:

The benzothiazole clubbed imidazolone motifs were synthesized, characterized, and
screened for their antimicrobial activity. Molecular docking was carried out for the development
of antimicrobial agents based on the results of biological activity obtained.

Methods:

We have synthesized a new series of benzothiazole-clubbed imidazolone hybrids by
using multi-step reactions in the search for antimicrobial agents (4a-l). The structures were
determined by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy techniques. Moreover, synthesized
compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity by using a Serial Broth Dilution
method. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential, geometric optimization, and molecular
reactivity analyses (HOMO-LUMO) of 4c, which is one of the compounds with the highest
antibacterial activity, were performed.

Results:

The in vitro antimicrobial activity was evaluated against pathogenic strains. Among
them, compounds 4c showed the most potent biological activity against Gram-negative bacteria,
E. coli with MIC values of 50 μg/mL, and compound 4c active against A. clavatus with MIC
values of 100 μg/mL. Active compound 4c HUMO-LUMO energies, molecular electrostatic potential
analysis, and geometric optimization parameters were calculated with a 6-31G ** base set
using DFT/B3LYP theory, and the results were displayed. Molecular docking studies were
performed on E. coli DNA Gyrase B to understand the binding interaction of compound 4c, and it
was observed that compound 4c interacted with Arg76 amino acid of the active site through
hydrophobic interaction.

Conclusion:

Benzothiazole-clubbed imidazolone hybrids (4a-l) indicated promising antimicrobial
activity. Among them, compounds 4b (MIC=50 μg/mL C. albicans), 4c (MIC=50 μg/mL, E. coli),
4e (MIC= 100 μg/mL, A. niger), and 4g (MIC= 50 μg/mL, S. pyogenes) with electronwithdrawing
bromo, chloro, and fluoro group at the para position of the phenyl ring
on benzothiazole-imidazolone hybrids indicated remarkable potency compared to the standard
drug. The geometric optimization, molecular reactivity, and MESP analyses of 4c were calculated
with the B3LYP/6-31G ** base set and ΔE = ELUMO-EHOMO, which was found to be -
0.12096 eV. In addition, the binding affinity scores correlated well with the in vitro antimicrobial
activity (4c), while their binding modes proposed the involvement of steric, electrostatic, and hydrogen-
bonding interactions with the active site.

Authors: Bhadila Ghalia , Hamza Tahir , Dhar Vineet , Dragan Irina F.
Published: November 2022

Objective:

The objective of this retrospective study was to appraise the level of evidence of presentations gathered from an electronic repository of an advanced postgraduate program in pediatric dentistry at a single U.S.-based dental institute.

Methods:

After the ethical approval was obtained, the presentations were assessed, and themes were identified. Using the cited references, the respective level of evidence was collected based on: the year of publication, reference source, choice of journal, journal impact factor, study design, altmetric score of the articles, and h-index of the authors. STATA version 15.1 (College Station, TX, USA) and Microsoft Excel software were used for statistical analysis.

Results and Discussion:

A sum of 690 references between the years 2015 to 2020 have been used in a total of 74 presentations. Presentations related to special health care needs accounted for 29.7% (n= 22) of the total presentations; followed by oral diagnosis/pathology/medicine (n= 17; 23%). The median number of references used in each presentation was eight, and the most common study design was unfiltered. The median number of the first author’s h-index was 25, and the median number of the altmetric score was four.

Conclusion:

This study appraised the level of evidence used in resident presentations in a postgraduate program in pediatric dentistry at a U.S. dental institute. The findings of this study could provide useful data to postgraduate program directors who wish to address the level of evidence used in their programs. Additionally, by using the altmetric scores and h-indexes presented in this study, future studies can compare the level of evidence between similar academic institutions or programs.
Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Study, Optical Properties and
Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of a New Centrosymmetric Hybrid Material,
Bis(3-Aminoquinolium) Tetrachloridocobaltate (II)
Authors: Boughzala Habib , Said Maha
Published: November 2022

The title organic-inorganic hybrid compound (C9H9N2)2[CoCl4] crystallizes at room temperature in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Its atomic arrangement can be described as an alternation of organic-inorganic layers along the c-axis. Crystal cohesion of the compound is achieved through N-H…Cl hydrogen bonds between the anions and cations and through cycle stacking interactions between organic cations. The vibrational properties were studied by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface (3D-HS) analysis and the two-dimensional fingerprint plots (2D-FP) were generated to quantify the weak intermolecular interactions present in the crystal. The optical properties were investigated by optical absorption and photoluminescence measurements. The band gap energy indicates that the compound behaves as an insulator material. Photoluminescence results suggest that the title compound can have a potential application as a non-linear optical material.
Commercialising disadvantage the neoliberal discourses of commercial bail bond websites
Authors: Harrington Leigh , Parker Stephen , Devine Lauren , Makouar Nadia
Published: November 2022

The commercial bail bond industry is one of the most profitable as-pects of America’s highly marketized criminal justice system that is increasinglyshaped by neoliberal structures and ideologies. Drawing on a specialised corpusof “Home” and “About Us” pages from bail bond websites, this paper is the firstempirical linguistic examination of commercial bail bonds discourse grounded inits legal context. Using corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis, we examinehow bail bond companies 1) discursively present and promote their services, 2)represent the legal system and its processes, and 3) construe arrest and detentionto prospective service users. The findings show that bail bond companies positiontheir services as an unobjectionably common (Brookes and Harvey 2017a) partof legal and financial self-management by normalising, legitimising, and idealis-ing their use whilst seeking to minimise the power-imbalance between themselvesand their often financially and socially disempowered ‘clients’. By grounding ourlinguistic analysis in a legal context, we demonstrate that these discourses simul-taneously serve whilst oppress those they purport to help, offering an example ofa local form of structural violence that subtly perpetuates neoliberal agendas anda two-tier justice system.
El papel de las plantaciones y la regeneración natural en la recuperación inicial de la cobertura vegetal en una cantera en Morelos, México
Authors: Bonfil Consuelo , Contreras-Rodríguez Viridiana , Barrales-Alcalá Bruno Arturo
Published: November 2022

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los estudios sobre la rehabilitación de canteras son escasos en México. En este estudio se analizó la importancia relativa de las plantaciones y la regeneración natural en la recuperación inicial de la vegetación en una cantera del trópico seco. Se comparó la composición y diversidad de especies presentes por ambas vías, su contribución a la cobertura y algunos rasgos funcionales que explican su desempeño.
Métodos: En septiembre de 2019 se marcaron e identificaron los individuos presentes (plantados y reclutados naturalmente) en 26 bloques (18 × 3.5 m) en los que se estableció la plantación. Se registró su altura y cobertura y se tomaron muestras de ramas y hojas para analizar algunos rasgos funcionales. Un año después se registró la supervivencia y el crecimiento de los individuos previamente marcados en una submuestra de los bloques.
Resultados clave: La contribución de la regeneración natural a la cobertura de la vegetación fue mucho mayor (81%) que la de la plantación (19%); su diversidad fue también mayor. Las especies reclutadas naturalmente tuvieron valores bajos de densidad de madera y contenido de masa seca de las hojas, al igual que Senecio salignus, la especie plantada con mayor cobertura. Con excepción de Dodonaea viscosa, las especies con mayor densidad de la madera tuvieron menor supervivencia y/o crecimiento.
Conclusiones: Se destaca la gran aportación de la regeneración natural a la cobertura inicial, uno de los primeros objetivos de la rehabilitación; su abundancia y diversidad se favorecieron por la cercanía a un bosque maduro. Seis de las especies plantadas tuvieron un buen desempeño, por lo que se recomienda su uso futuro. Cuando no haya una fuente de propágulos cercana, se puede fomentar la presencia de las especies de regeneración natural mediante la siembra de semillas o con plantaciones.
Teaching Using a Face Protection Mask: How Students of 6-15 Years Old Perceive Their Teachers’ Expressing Emotions during the Teaching Procedure
Authors: Bimpa Maria , Fykaris Ioannis , Zagkotas Vasileios
Published: November 2022

One of the basic measures to prevent the Covid-19 infection is the use of a face protection mask by students and teachers in school premises and, mainly, in teaching. A question, however, is whether the covered part of the face is a barrier to the recognition of the expressed emotions of the wearer, a fact that may affect communication and interaction in teaching. On this basis, this article attempts to investigate how 6-15 year olds perceive the emotions of persons wearing a face protection mask. The research was conducted using the Case Study method and an “Emotion Recognition Sheet” in 1st, 3rd & 5th grade of Greek Primary School and in the first three Grades of secondary school (Gymnasium). The participant students were asked to observe photos of adult persons wearing a face mask and then to recognize the emotions of the presented adults. The research findings revealed a 62% failure of the students in recognizing emotions. This fact highlights the need to develop a teaching proposal to deal with this situation, in order to strengthen students’ communication ability, which is a key factor in achieving effective learning.

Published: November 2022

Currently, the use of natural and organic cosmetics in the personal care, perfumery and cosmetics market is increasing. This is related to the current environmental scenery, in which consumers are becoming aware of the importance of using products that do not cause damage to the environment and health. The present work aimed to address natural and organic cosmetics, reporting the main characteristics of these products and some of the main components used. A bibliographic survey was carried out in databases, seeking scientific articles preferably updated, using the following descriptors: green consumers, natural cosmetics, organic cosmetics, sustainable packaging and sustainability. The results obtained showed that there is a great tendency of consumers to prefer natural and organic cosmetics, which has been caused by concern for their health and the environment, in addition to the influence of the media, influence of the media and entities that raise awareness about environmental, social and ecological issues. The components most commonly used in such cosmetics are of plant origin, can be used in different formulations for different purposes, in addition to presenting several health benefits and lower environmental impact. The present research can contribute to the awareness and greater knowledge about natural and organic cosmetics, so that this reflects in an increase in the demand for sustainable products by consumers themselves.
An Assessment of a Major Global Full-Service Network Airline’s Waste Management: A Case Study of Korean Air
Authors: Baxter Glenn
Published: November 2022

Using an in-depth longitudinal research approach, this study has examined how Korean Air, a major global full-service network airline, manages its wastes in an environmentally sustainable manner. The study period was from 2007 to 2021. Korean Air has defined and implemented a “Green” Management Policy that underpins its sustainability goals. The airline’s waste management is underpinned by the 3Rs Waste Management Framework. Korean Air aims to reduce wastes wherever possible. Where this is not possible then the airline aims to re-use its wastes. Wastes that are unsuitable for re-use are recycled when their characteristics are suitable for such an approach. Wastes that cannot be re-used, recycled, or incinerated are disposed to landfill. The airline’s cabin wastes are disinfected and incinerated in accordance with the relevant regulations. Wastes generated by Korean Air can be broadly split into domestic waste generated from transportation services and designated or hazardous waste generated from aircraft maintenance. The case study found that there was an overall upward trend in Korean Air’s annual recycled wastes from 2010 to 2019. The airline’s incinerated wastes exhibited a general upward trend from 2007 to 2019. Koreans Air’s annual wastes disposed to landfill displayed a general downward trend during the study period. Koreans Air’s annual wastes were influenced by the reduced passenger traffic and flight operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the global aviation industry and has the global pandemic resulted in a downturn in passenger traffic and flight operations.

Landour is located at an altitude of about 6,800 to 7,798 ft in the Lower Western Himalaya, in the Mussoorie Range. Along the hillside of Landour one of the oldest residential schools in Asia, Woodstock School is situated. It encompasses a considerable forested area, which is mostly monoculture of Banj Oak (Quercus leucotrichophora) with intermittent Deodars, Pines and Rhododendrons. The climatic condition, forest type and soil in the hillside are congenial for growth and development of different species of mushrooms. A variety of mushrooms belong to edible, poisonous and medicinal species can be seen during rainy season. In the present study, six different mushroom species were collected during rainy season (July to September, 2022). Amongst the six species, five species were mycorrhizal, four species were edible, three species were medicinal and two species were non edible, while one species was poisonous. This study unravelled the abundance of the mushrooms in the campus.
A NON-SINGULAR CLOSED BOUNCING UNIVERSE WITHOUT VIOLATION OF NULL ENERGY CONDITION
Authors: Ahmed N. , Kamel T. M. , Nouh M. I.
Published: November 2022

A matter bouncing entropy-corrected cosmological model has been suggested. The model allows only positive curvature with negative pressure and no violation of the null energy condition. The result obtained in this paper is supported by some recent theoretical works where the combination of positive spatial curvature and vacuum energy leads to non-singular bounces with no violation of the null energy condition. An important feature of the current model is that evolutions of the cosmic pressure, energy density and equation of state parameter are independent of the values of the prefactors α and β in the corrected entropy-area relation. The validity of the classical and the new nonlinear energy conditions has been discussed. The cosmographic parameters have been analyzed.

Published: November 2022

The aim of this work is to study both light curve and orbital phase spectroscopy of Cen X-3 taking advantage of the MAXI/GSC observation strategy. These studies allow delimiting the stellar wind properties and its interactions with the compact object. From the analysis of the light curve, we have estimated the orbital period of the binary system and also found possible QPOs around a superorbital period of Psuperorb = 220 ± 5 days. Both orbital phase-averaged and phaseresolved spectra were extracted and analysed in the 2.0–20.0 keV energy range. Two models have described spectra satisfactorily, a partial absorbed Comptonization of cool photons on hot electrons plus a power law, and a partial absorbed blackbody plus a power law, both modified by adding Gaussian lines. The high value of the X-ray luminosity in the averaged spectrum indicates that the accretion mode is not only due to the stellar wind.

Abstract: It has been observed that millions of dollars are being invested on highway/subway tunnel maintenanceand restoration all over the globe. But this cost can be minimized if the detection of cracks will be found as earlieras possible. As the restoration process depends on the type of cracks, it is important to plan the required steps to be taken for repairing the destruction caused as earlier as possible. Initially we need to capture very transparent images of the roads/concrete infrastructures as the detection process will depend on those images. The device usedfor scanning and capturing the images of the concrete infrastructures or roads must be configured for picturing high resolution images. After processing the image acquired, it is easier to extract information about the cracks found. Depending on this information, the images could be classified using some decision-making algorithm. Thisprocedure can be implemented on images acquired by any objects or vehicles carrying image sensing terminal, laser distance sensor, image storage and processing servers, central control system and speed sensor. The accuracydepends on the image’s quality and accurate capture.

Published: November 2022

Kemudahan untuk memperoleh legalitas usaha sudah mencapai titik baik. Bersamaan dengan diterbitkannya Online Single Submission (OSS), pemerintah Indonesia memberikan sarana bagi para pelaku usaha di Indonesia untuk dapat mendaftarkan usaha mereka. Proses pendaftaran dan pendataan usaha ini akan menghasilkan Nomor Induk Berusaha (NIB) yang berguna untuk memberikan legalitas di dalam menjalankan usaha sekaligus sebagai sarana agar pemerintah dapat mendata kepemilikan usaha masyarakat Indonesia. Urgensi mengenai kepemilikan NIB dicantumkan kembali dalam Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja Nomor 11 Tahun 2022. Terbentuknya Undang-Undang yang terhitung masih baru, sangat mungkin banyak pelaku usaha yang belum memahami urgensi serta belum mengerti bagaimana cara untuk mendapatkan NIB. Maka dari itu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan untuk memberikan wawasan mengenai mengenai urgensi NIB dan langkah yang perlu dilakukan untuk mendapatkan NIB melalui OSS. Kegiatan pengabdian dilaksanakan dilaksanakan pada bulan Mei menggunakan metode diseminasi yang dilanjutkan dengan pendampingan pembuatan NIB secara langsung atau door-to-door ke rumah pelaku UMKM yang berlokasi di Desa Bareng, Kecamatan Bareng, Kabupaten Jombang.
 
Increase The Knowledge of UMKM Actors about The urgency of NIB in The Bareng Village, Jombang Regency
The ease of obtaining business legality has reached a good point. Along with the Online Single Submission (OSS) issuance, the Indonesian government provides a platform for business actors in Indonesia to register their businesses. This business registration and data collection process will produce a Business Identification Number (NIB) which is useful for providing legality in running a business and a means for the government to record business ownership of the Indonesian people. The urgency of NIB ownership is reiterated in the Government Regulation Law Number 11 of 2021 concerning Job Creation. Since the regulation is still relatively categorized as the new law, it is very possible that many business actors do not understand the urgency and do not understand how to get a NIB. Therefore, this community service activity is carried out to provide insight into the urgency of NIB and the steps that need to be taken to obtain NIB through OSS. The service activity was held in May 2022 and carried out using the dissemination method followed by assistance in making NIB directly or door-to-door to the homes of business owners located in Bareng Village, Bareng District, Jombang Regency.

Estudo histológico de dentes de cistos dermóides
Authors: Ebling Hardy
Published: November 2022

Estudou-se tecidos dentários e paradentários de dentes encontrados em dois cistos dermoides. Encontrou-se laminas dentárias de tal modo que potencialmente, cada ramificação poderia dar origem a um dente ou a um dentículo. De certo modo, em alguns pontos, há semelhança com o que se dá na rã, no jacaré e em alguns peixes. A diferença é que nos dentes de cistos dermoides a coisa se dá de modo anárquico, ou ainda não claro para nós. Alguns dentes apresentam sulcos ou fissuras e estudando-se dentes em formação vê-se que em certas zonas os ameloblastos apresentam-se destruídos e substituidos por zona vacuolizada o que parece indicar a gênese dos sulcos e fissuras. A dentina ora se apresenta normal, ora apresenta grande quantidade de espacos interglobulares, de grande tamanho, chegando a atingir 520 micra, isto para diferentes dentes de um mesmo cisto dermoide. A polpa pode não apresentar alterações, ou apresentar degenerações cálcica, hialina, zonas de hemorragias e cálculos. As fibras de periodonto estão na sua grande maioria orientadas paralelamente ao grande eixo do dente, podendo haver folículos pilosos no periodonto. Os restos epiteliais de Malassez apresentam um volume maior, mas a localização é a descrita para o normal. O paradêncio de proteção apresenta ou não, infiltração de linfócitos e plasmócitos no conjuntivo sob o epitélio do sulco.

A large part of the Guarani Aquifer is in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (southern Brazil). Aquifer?s recharge area is in the central and western regions of the state. So, this work was focused on the municipality of Santa Cruz do Sul. Because there is no water resources plan in the state by 2022, the hydrogeochemical, geophysical properties, and geological characteristics of the aquifer recharge region were evaluated. Field data were gathered, including chemical analysis of water in different wells and geophysical surveys in refraction seismic and geoelectrical methods. In addition, geological information was obtained from the Groundwater Information System (SIAGAS) public database. The different chemical parameters were mapped to perceive some elements? concentrations in Santa Cruz do Sul according to the SIAGAS data. In addition, the seismic refraction data and geoelectric method were processed and interpreted, concatenating all these results with the geology obtained from SIAGAS wells. The existing formations and the static level of the Guarani Aquifer were mapped using geological data. A high concentration of lead in the region which is a possible aquifer was found using geophysical methods. If located in this area aquifer could be used for human, agropastoral, or industrial after treatments.

Gibbs free energy of formation of solid Cu2In2O5 phase as well as that for
In2O3 and CuO oxides was determined in the temperature range from 973 K to
1372 K. The results obtained in this study were used to derive Gibbs free
energy change of the reaction of formation of the ternary compound from
respective oxides: 2CuO + In2O3 = Cu2In2O5 which is equal to:
?Gf0,Cu2In2O5 = 33905 ? 41.50T (?3600) Jmol?1. Standard
enthalpy of formation from elements ?H0f,298 and standard enthalpy ?S0298
derived for Cu2In2O5 phase by Second Law sigma plot are -1211 (?15) kJ
mol-1 and 493.20 (?10) J (K-1 mol-1). Oxygen potential diagrams for the
Cu-In-O system are also given at two temperatures.
Choosing the best observation channel parameters for measuring quantitative characteristics of objects in MCDM-problems and uncertainty conditions

Published: November 2022

The solution of most MCDM-problems involves measuring the characteristics of a research object, converting the estimations into a confidence distribution specified on a set of qualitative gradations and aggregating the estimations in accordance with the structure of the criteria system. The quality of the problems solution as a whole directly depends on the quality of measuring the characteristics of a research object. Data for obtaining estimations of the characteristics are often inaccurate, incomplete, approximate. Modern researches either fragmentarily touch on the questions of measurement quality, or focus on other questions. Our goal is to choose such parameters for converting the value of the quantitative characteristic of a research object into a confidence distribution, which provide the best measurement quality. Based on the observation channel (OC) concept proposed by G. Klir, we refined the measurement quality criteria, determined the composition of the OC parameters, developed an algorithm for calculating the measurement quality criteria and choosing the best OC for the most common MCDM-problems. As calculations have shown, in the most common MCDM-problems, the best is OC, which is built on the basis of a bell-shaped membership function and has a scale of seven blocks. The obtained result will allow researchers to justify the choice of OC parameters from the view-point of the maximum quality of measuring the quantitative characteristics of a research object in MCDM-problems and uncertainty conditions.
Does ownership structure affect bank performance in the COVID-19 pandemic period? Evidence from Croatia
Authors: Fotova-Cikovic Katerina , Kecek Damira , Lozic Josko
Published: November 2022

This paper investigates the relationship between bank ownership and efficiency before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in a sample of 20 Croatian commercial banks in the period from 2015 to 2020. The interconnection between these variables is examined with the use of a dynamic data envelopment analysis (window DEA) framework. Other goals are to measure the relative efficiency of Croatian banks in the observed period as well as the evolvement of the banking sector as a whole. The findings reveal that domestic banks outperform by little foreign-owned Croatian banks during the COVID-19 crisis year 2020, but, moreover, domestic and small-sized banks have experienced the least negative impact of COVID-19 in 2020. The results regarding the impact of bank size on bank efficiency are inconsistent and require additional study. The used methodology and the findings of this empirical research could be of interest to academic members, bank management and policymakers. The latter should be especially interested in the results and the resilience of domestic and foreign banks to external shocks, in order to re-examine their current bank policies and the national attitude towards attracting foreign capital in the banking sector.
Aligning Performance Measurement Systems across the Supply Chain: Evidence from Electronic Components Suppliers
Authors: O’Connor Neale G. , Schloetzer Jason D.
Published: November 2022

Successful interorganizational governance requires practices that reduce information asymmetry between supply chain partners and foster collaborative activities. We study one potential practice—suppliers aligning their performance measurement systems with their largest customer’s performance priorities. Using survey data collected from face-to-face interviews with executives from over 1,000 electronic components suppliers, we find that suppliers with greater customer-supplier information asymmetry and higher partner interdependence have performance measurement systems that align more with their largest customer’s performance priorities. These results are particularly apparent when the exchange involves complex components and when the largest customer represents a greater proportion of supplier sales, suggesting that performance measurement system alignment is of greater value in such situations. We conclude that the performance priorities of large customers play a role in shaping suppliers’ management control systems.

Published: November 2022

The article analyzes the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on election processes and election results. Using the complex of general, logical and empirical scientific methods, the consequences and main forms of influence of the pandemic on the election process: change (postponing) the election date; use of non-traditional (alternative) voting methods; application of special mechanisms to protect citizens from the spread of the coronavirus infection during elections; changes in the level of citizens participation in the elections process; change in the quality and democracy of the electoral process; change in the dynamics of morbidity due to participation in elections, etc. have been distinguished. The peculiarities of applying the mentioned forms of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the elections process on the example of foreign countries have been analyzed. It has been concluded, that in the initial stages of the pandemic the typical reaction of governments of most countries was the postponement of the election dates. At the same time, undemocratic leaders used the pandemic as an excuse to maximize and usurp their power. Subsequently, it became more common to hold elections on the date set by law using alternative voting methods or using special security measures during elections with the traditional voting method at polling stations. It has been shown that the coronavirus pandemic did not significantly affect the democratic nature of the election process (democratic countries held elections in accordance with democratic standards, and non-democratic countries - with their violations). At the same time, the coronavirus pandemic mostly caused a decrease in voter turnout. An increase in the incidence has also been observed in the post-election period.
Some Existential Reflections on Self-Determination in the Conditions of the War
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Karivets' Ihor
Published: November 2022

Although any war is a "continuation of politics by other means" (Karl von Clausewitz), the article examines the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war from the point of view of existentialist philosophy as a philosophy of human crises. The Russian-Ukrainian war actualizes the forgotten existentialist ideas of choice, situation, freedom, duty, responsibility in the context of individual and collective self-determination. In the article such philosophers as Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Karl Jaspers, are analyzed from existentialist ideas. War destroys a person's life world, and therefore it must resist such destruction. Russia's war against Ukraine is seen as the destruction of the individual and collective existence of Ukraine. The resistance of Ukrainians is resistance to this destruction, and this resistance gives a new, relevant meaning to coexistence based on the solidarity of all Ukrainians. Therefore, Ukraine is constituted as Res-Publica, i.e. as a "common case", "being-in-common" (Jean-Luc Nancy).

Senses, Experience and Metaphysics. Review of: Papineau, D. (2021). Metaphysics of Sensory Experience. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 163 p.
Authors: Luchyk Yana
Published: November 2022

The work of David Papineau, the British scientist and philosopher, professor of the King’s College of London and the University of New York, former teacher of the University of Cambridge, is considered. The author analyzes the theories of sensory perception and experience, explains the advantages and disadvantages of each of them, in particular the theory of naive realism and representationalism. Considering these theories, he seeks an answer to the question about the metaphysical nature of the properties of consciousness and proposes his own metaphysics of sensory data and experience, which would solve the problems formulated by his predecessors, such as the problem of “broad content” and the problem of time, and gives arguments to confirm his own position, which he calls the “qualitative view”
