Published: August 2023

Tides play a key role in regulating the circulation and water properties around Antarctica, yet tidal currents and the corresponding influences in Prydz Bay have not been quantified with observational datasets. This study focuses on the observed characteristics of tidal currents and quantifies the tidal contribution to the basal melting of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS). Long-term hydrography observations are provided by 10 moorings over the continental shelf and 6 borehole sites drilled through the AIS. Based on the mooring observations, we analyze the observed tidal currents, and evident seasonality in the mixed diurnal–semidiurnal tidal currents is identified. Barotropic tides dominate the tidal currents at the AIS front, except at the western corner where the seabed is abruptly deeper. The spatially and temporally averaged magnitude of tidal currents for all the current meter records is only ~3 cm s
−1
. However, an observed maximum tidal velocity of ~11 cm s
−1
occurs at the AIS front, and the maximal time-averaged tidal kinetic energy reaches ~31% of the total kinetic energy over the outer continental shelf. Based on the borehole observations, tide-like pulsing is identified in the ocean layer adjacent to the AIS basal surface. The maximal tidal contribution of the AIS basal melting is estimated at 69% based on a simple model. Due to the paucity of long-term velocity observations in the sub-ice-shelf cavity, the uncertainties of the estimated tide-induced melting in this study could be attributed to the simulated velocity.

Published: August 2023

Background: Injuries to the mouth and teeth due to various incidents have a high prevalence in society; therefore, it is necessary to diagnose them and provide a suitable treatment plan for them. The purpose of this research is to design, implement and evaluate smartphone-based software for dental treatment in oral and dental injuries in pediatric patients. Methods: This study is an applied-production study conducted in three stages: The first step is the preparation and design of algorithms, the second stage is the introduction of diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms into the software system, and in the third stage, the software system is evaluated for its efficiency and accuracy in diagnosing and providing a treatment plan. The samples were all 77 patients who were referred to the trauma department of Shiraz Dental School from June to July 2019. Results: There was a significant correlation between the resident and the professor’s diagnosis with the software diagnosis, with 92.2% complete compliance, 3.9% relative compliance, and 3.9% non-compliance (kappa value=0.91, P value<0.0001). Conclusion: The accuracy and high speed of diagnosis and the offered treatment plan for all types of oral and dental trauma were acceptable. However, the software cannot replace a specialist and should be used in combination with expert opinion.

Authors: Kurkutan Emine , Gündoğar Zübeyde Uçar , Keskin Gül
Published: August 2023

Background: The primary objective of this study was to assess the occurrence, distribution, and features of ectopic first permanent molars (FPMs), as well as to investigate the clinical outcomes associated with ectopic eruption based on the degree of root resorption observed in primary second molars. Methods: This study was performed retrospectively by examining panoramic radiographs of 7070 patients aged 5 to 12 years. The gender and age of the patients, the number, location, and distribution mode of ectopic FPMs, the resorption degree of the distal roots of primary second molars, and the clinical outcome of ectopic eruption were evaluated. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were performed on the obtained data using SPSS version 22 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Results: In 144 of 7070 cases, a total of 221 ectopic permanent first molar teeth were detected (2% prevalence). The mean age of the 144 patients was 8.04 years. Ectopic eruption was most common in patients aged 7–8 years (48.63%), which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Ectopic eruptions were more common in females (58.30%) than males (41.70%; P<0.05). Of the ectopic permanent first molars, 78 (35.30%) were in the mandible, and 143 (64.70%) were in the maxilla. The relationship between the degree of resorption and the type of ectopic eruption was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The increase in the severity of root resorption in the primary second molars was a significant predictor for the prognosis of ectopic eruption in the present study. Early diagnosis and treatment of ectopic FPMs are of great importance to preventing premature loss of primary second molars resulting in malocclusion.

Published: August 2023

Background: Considering the limitations of analytical models, it is recommended that modelling methods be used to solve complex social issues. Dynamic modelling helps policymakers to have a better understanding of system behavior. In health systems, considering the available resources and impact of decisions plays a key role in improving health. The lack of a dynamic and systematic attitude sometimes ignores the impacts, and the results are not desirable despite the cost. Considering the current situation, in this article, it is strongly recommended that a system dynamics approach be adopted to improve the health of society. Methods: Using different articles, the use of modelling with a system dynamics approach has been introduced and emphasized. Results: Studies indicate the promising role of modelling with a system dynamics approach in the cost-effective improvement of oral health. Conclusion: It is suggested that oral health decision-makers should focus on applying existing data and using them in system dynamics modelling to forecast and predict new policies before implementing them at the community level.

Published: August 2023

Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) is an unpleasant finding resulting from a wide range of malignancies with limited survival prognosis. Its presentation and progression show that it can resist treatment with some stents, including single polymer ureteral stents. With most treatment failures, several treatments are available for the initial management and treatment of benign ureteral obstruction, including therapy with percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN), metallic stents, tandem stents, and other stents. Considering the variety of methods and the heterogeneous population of patients, evaluating the merit of each approach is challenging and needed. Due to the lack of significant studies in this field, these methods leave their performance up to the individual provider. This review aims to provide a framework for urologists to use for individual care and apply it appropriately to patients with MUO. Prospective clinical studies are needed to empower patients with MUO to receive evidence-based treatment and recommendations.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHLs) are hematolymphoid malignancies. Bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is performed for staging. BMB findings are an important indicator of prognosis and treatment planning. In this study, we compared flow cytometry and BMB in marrow involvement of lymphoma patients. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the frequency of involvement in bone marrow in flow cytometry and biopsy, compare the frequency of involvement in bone marrow in flow cytometry based on gender, compare frequency of bone marrow involvement in biopsy based on gender, compare mean age between two groups with bone marrow involvement and without bone marrow involvement in biopsy, compare mean age between two groups struggling with bone marrow involvement and without bone marrow involvement in flow cytometry, and compare mean ages between all genders struggling with bone marrow involvement and without bone marrow involvement in flow cytometry and biopsy. Patients and Methods: This study was cross-sectional, and the population included all patients affected by NHL, which bone marrow flow cytometry and biopsy performed for disease staging referred to Seyed Al-Shohada hospital affiliated with Isfahan University of medical sciences during 2016-2020. Four color flow cytometry devices (PARTEC CyFlow Space, Germany) with EXBIO antibody kits (Spain) were used. Results: In this study, the number of samples was 107, of which 68 (63.6%) were male, and the mean (standard deviation) of the total age was 40.87 (18.98) years. All samples were diagnosed as lymphoma and were examined by bone marrow flow cytometry and biopsy. Flow cytometry frequency of bone marrow involvement was 14 (13.1%), and biopsy frequency of bone marrow involvement was 22 (20.6%). In 97 cases (90.6%), the diagnosis of both methods was the same. Nine patients (8.4%) had bone marrow involvement in biopsy only, and one case (1%) had bone marrow involvement in flow cytometry only. As a result, bone marrow involvement in patients with lymphoma who participated in this project is about 21.5%. Conclusion: We concluded that evaluation of bone marrow involvement using combined methods is more efficient than biopsy or flow cytometry alone. We also recommended physicians use both methods at the same time.

Authors: Peres R. Sartor Ticiane , Trevisol Cristiane Boff
Published: August 2023

A doença periodontal é a afecção mais comum em cães e gatos.  Atualmente, a substância mais eficaz para realizar a limpeza oral em animais de companhia é a Clorexidina muito eficiente no controle das placas bacterianas, mas seu uso prolongado causa muitos efeitos colaterais. O uso de plantas medicinais vem ganhando espaço na veterinária. Curcuma longa L., por exemplo, apresenta grande potencial terapêutico. A cúrcuma despertou interesse no campo da periodontia, pois atinge tanto as bactérias, com sua ação antimicrobiana, como as células inflamatórias do hospedeiro por sua ação anti-inflamatória. Buscando uma alternativa com menos efeito colateral, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ação antibacteriana de Curcuma longa L. e do digluconato de clorexidina sobre alguns microrganismos causadores dessa doença. O extrato seco de Curcuma longa L. e o digluconato de clorexidina foram adquiridos comercialmente de uma farmácia de manipulação, onde, posteriormente, obteve-se os extratos aquosos nas concentrações 1%; 2,5%; 5%; 10% e 20% e solução de clorexidina 2%. Realizou-se o preparo do inóculo, na escala de 0,5 de MacFarland, das cepas de E. coli e S. aureus. Todas as concentrações foram testadas em triplicata. Utilizou-se digluconato de clorexidina 2% como controle positivo e solução de água destilada com polissorbato 20 como controle negativo. Staphylococcus aureus mostrou-se sensível ao extrato aquoso de Curcuma longa L. em contrapartida Escherichia coli apresentou resistência. Por este estudo ter como objetivo o tratamento de doenças periodontais, não descarta-se a eficácia do extrato aquoso de curcuma longa sobre a bactéria Gram positiva que está presente na fase inicial dessa doença em cães e gatos, já que demonstrou sensibilidade, tornando necessário novas pesquisas para corroborar este estudo.

The development of fintech or financial technology is increasingly developing over time, this has caused public interest, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to be interested in using it. Fintech is a phenomenon due to an innovation that introduces practicality, convenience, and economical costs. Similar to Sharia fintech which is currently being intensified by the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) together with the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the MUI issued a sharia-based product offer from sharia business startups to MSME players. On the other hand, this fintech phenomenon has problems in its application to MSMEs. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach, where a study is descriptive. The results of this study are that Islamic fintech can be a solution, especially for MSME actors by facilitating financial services, fintech is an innovation that aims to provide convenience, speed, and convenience in providing financial assistance. Fintech industry players need to educate the public about legal products and services to protect society from fraud and financial crime. The financial services authority (OJK) will assist regulators in developing and overseeing sharia fintech services. In Islamic fintech, several applications provide MSME financial management service offerings in business whose aim is to increase efficiency in terms of customer service.
MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE AND SEMANTIC-SYNTAX POTENTIAL OF ANALYTICAL UNITS (ON THE MATERIAL OF V. SHEVCHUK’S NOVELS)
Authors: Maslyuk N.
Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the morphological structure and the semantic-syntactic sphere of functioning of one of the varieties of syncretic connecting means – analytical units – in the idiostyle of Valerii Shevchuk.
The specificity of the syncretism of conjunctions is studied on the material of the novels "House on the Mountain", "On the Humble Field", "Eye of the Abyss", "The Beginning of Horror", "The Ghost of the Dead House", "Three Leaves Outside the Window". The analysis of part of speech belonging and the meaning potential of structural components of analytical units is made by five lexicographic sources.
The morphological structure of the studied syncretic connecting means was analyzed and the creative modes of them were identified. The semantic-syntactic potential of analytical units, selected by L. V. Shityk, based on the typology by K. G. Horodenska – connecting means used in syncretic composite sentences, is characterized. Each type of conjunctive combination is correlated with the corresponding type of syncretic composite sentence (with causative consecutive interrelation, relation of time sequence, disjunctive-concessive meaning) or with a syntactic variant of a simple complicated sentence. Frequency of the conjunctive combinations’ the functioning and the peculiarities of their semantic and syntactic manifestation are confirmed by examples from the writer's novels. The most frequently presented in the author's idiostyle are the conjunctions а відтак – in the sentences with the sequence of action or generalization of the thought expressed in the previous part, і від того – in the constructions with the causative-consecutive meaning, і навіть – to give the sentence a tinge of unexpectedness, to strengthen the disjunctive-concessive connection. The types of syncretic complex sentences inherent in V. Shevchuk's novels have been clarified-subordinate in form and subordinate in content and subordinate-coordinate in form and meaning. Quantitative indicators of the frequency of use of each conjunctive are determined.
FUNCTIONAL AND PRAGMATIC FEATURES OF NICKNAMES (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE KOLO WEBSITE)
Authors: Omeliukh I.
Published: August 2023

Nickname is a tool of self-presentation of the user in Internet communication. A new virtual personality is created with the help of a network name and by the person who endows it with fictional, partially or fully strands, characteristics and features. The functional and pragmatic features of network names are considered in the article on the material of nicknames from the website of the KOLO operational assistance fund of the special service "Holiday KOLO", which are determined by the pragmatic needs of the author’s personality.
The functional-pragmatic features of the website’s nicknames of aid funds and volunteer organizations are a special object of analysis, as they make it possible to trace the process of functioning and development of the language at the current stage of its existence. While creating network names, communicators prefer the communicatively significant meaning of "own" over "other". It was found that nicknames appear as markers of trust, confidence, enthusiasm, and are indicators of evaluative and emotional judgments.
In the process of combining two components into one, the semantic and pragmatic potential of a nickname is formed. Two-component network names are singled out among the studied material, the main word of which is a noun, and the extender (micro-context) is an adjective. Falling into different micro-contexts, the same constituent has different pragmatic meanings. The lexical conjugation of the components of a nickname produces the appearance of functional-pragmatic nuances in the meaning. In the process of researching network names, it was found that the types of displacement of presuppositions in two-component nicknames are regular and related to thematic groups of supporting elements.
It is substantiated that for the successful interpretation of network names, communicators must have a common base of non-linguistic knowledge. On the one hand, communication participants must understand the lexical meaning of individual components, on the other hand, they should interpret their common functional and pragmatic potential.
ONYMS WITH THE ROOT КРАС- (КРАСН-): IN SEARCH OF IDENTITY AND TRADITION
Authors: Osinchuk Yu. , Krovytska O.
Published: August 2023

The article studies onyms with the root крас- (красн-), based on the Lexical Indexes of Ukrainian Historical Dictionaries stored in the Ukrainian Language Department of the I. Krypiakevych Institute of Ukrainian Studies of the NAS of Ukraine, and in published lexicons such as "Dictionary of Old Ukrainian Language of the ХІV–ХV Centuries" (Kyiv, 1977–1978), "Historical Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language" edited by Ye. Tymchenko (Kharkiv, Kyiv, 1930, Vol. 1), and "Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language of ХVІ – the First Half of ХVІІ Century" (Lviv, 1994–2017, Iss. 1–17).
In the first place, such onomastic classes have been analyzed: anthroponyms, toponyms, in particular, oikonyms, microtoponyms, hydronyms, and microhydronyms, which are commonly found in business documents all over Ukraine and beyond (Greece, Romania). A rich anthroponymic vocabulary is stated in the Lviv Stauropegion Brotherhood's documents.
Much attention is given to the structure and word formation of these names. As been noted, in historical sources of the investigated period, single-component anthroponyms prevail, while toponymic names are mostly two-component. Complex formations are observed in such onomastic classes as anthroponyms and oikonyms, in which the first component is an attribute with the root крас- (красн-), and the second is an appellativus. One of the productive constructions of the toponymic system of the time is the "adjective + noun" model, which demonstrates one of the ways of Ukrainian onyms emergence.
Moreover, a rich palette is revealed by microtoponymic names (names of fields, woods, groves, meadows, tracts, mountains, lands, etc.), in which the motivating features are the "color of the landscape" and "beauty" – "the quality of something beautiful".
Additionally, the article at most illustrates the usage of the investigated names in written sources of ХІV-ХVІІІ centuries.
Eventually, the study pays attention to the functioning of names with the root крас- (красн-) nowadays. As investigated, such names show traditionality and originality in developing Ukrainian onomastic heritage.
PECULIARITIES OF IMAGE MODELING OF KYIVAN RUS PRINCES IN "THE LEGENDS OF THE OLD KYIV" BY NATALENA KOROLEVA
Authors: Yurchuk O. , Tkachuk Yu.
Published: August 2023

The article focuses on the collection of texts "The Legends of the Old Kyiv", where Natalena Koroleva rethought the history of Kyivan Rus turning it into a metahistory and synthesizing the historical past of the Ukrainian people, myths and legends. The author also refers to the literary sources of her predecessors (especially to "The Tale of Bygone Years") forming a kind of intertextual space. The reader doesn’t deal with a documentary work but an artistic one with an original interpretation of events and their participants within three thematic groups (Scythian legends, legends of Kyivan Rus and legends related to the Kyiv-Pechersk Monastery). However, the last two legends fall out of context: about Samson's well in Kyiv and the birth of the Count Charles St. Germain, a friend of Voltaire ("Appearing Water", "Godson of Pope Ivan"). Modeling the images of prominent statesmen Natalena Koroleva only partially goes beyond the traditional vision, and also resorts to folklore stylization. Prominent figures of Prince Volodymyr and Princess Olha, Prince Yaroslav the Wise and his wife Iryna, Princes Askold and Mstyslav, son of Volodymyr Monomakh, Princess Lybid appear on the pages of the collection. The writer restores the European "face" of the Ukrainian nation intertwining different cultural codes including ancient Ukrainian and European ones. In the literary chronotope "The Legends of Old Kyiv", the adoption of Christianity becomes a point of bifurcation that opened up new opportunities for the Ukrainian medieval state. That is why a strong emphasis is placed on the stories of the Christianization of Rus, the construction of churches: the Christianization of Prince Volodymyr and Princess Olha ("Volodymyr's Silver", "Shynkarivna"), the idea to build St. Sophia's Cathedral by Prince Yaroslav the Wise ("The Curse of Perun"), the zealous struggle for the Christianization of Prince Askold and the construction of the Mykolaiv Church ("Askold's grave").

Authors: KILIÇ ŞAFAK Nazire , DURGUN Behice , YÜCEL Ahmet Hilmi , OĞUZ Özkan
Published: August 2023

Background: In this study, the purpose was to obtain normal anthropometric data of the nose, and to determine the changes in age and gender.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, the nose anthropometric measurements were made with a caliper in 874 healthy individuals who were between the ages of 5 and 64, and the nose types were de-termined for adults. The individuals were divided into 8 groups as 5-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-17, 18-40, and 41-64-year-old. The nasal length, nasal height, morphological nasal width, anatomical nasal width, nasal root width, nasal depth, lengths, nostril widths, face width, and face heights of the individu-als were measured; and the external nasal surface area, nasal volume, nasal index, nasofacial index, and nose-face width index were calculated. According to Martin and Sallar, the types of noses were classified in adults. The SPSS 20.0 Program was used for the statistical analysis of the data.
Results: The most common type of nose was determined to be Mesorrhine. Statistically significant differ-ences were detected between the genders in all measurements except nasal depth. Statistically signifi-cant differences were detected in all groups in terms of all length and height measurements, morphologi-cal and anatomical nasal width values, external nasal surface areas, and nasal volume and indices.
Conclusions: It is expected that detailed data about age-sex-related nose morphometry in our study will contribute to the creation of a database of our population. It is thought that these detailed data will be helpful in the determination of age and gender in forensic medicine, the reconstruction studies in anthro-pology, and the treatment plan and post-surgery evaluation to surgeons.

Assessment of Regression Model for Rainfall in Saudi Arabia (1979-2011) Using Dummy Variables
Authors: Eltayeb Manahil , Hag-elsafi Sulafa
Published: August 2023

Objectives: This study aims to analyze rainfall in Saudi Arabia by designing models based on data from 20 stations across the Kingdom from 1979 to 2011.

Methods: The analysis employed a multiple linear regression model with rainfall as the dependent variable and annual quarters as the independent variables. Dummy variables were utilized in the analysis. The regression model provided valuable insights into the impact of rainfall rates in different quarters across Saudi Arabia. Monthly data was collected from each region of the Kingdom during the study period and categorized into five groups based on average rainfall: Group 1 (5-15 mm), Group 2 (15-25 mm), Group 3 (25-35 mm), Group 4 (35-45 mm), and Group 5 (45-70 mm). Each group was represented by a separate regression model. To reduce the number of dummy variables in the model, the monthly data was converted to quarterly data.

Results: A significant finding of this study is that all models were statistically significant, indicating that rainfall distribution is influenced by the annual quarters. Furthermore, it was observed that the average rainfall in most quarters across different regions was statistically significant, except for the fourth quarter in Group 5 and the third quarter in Groups 1, 2, and 4.

Conclusions: The inclusion of dummy variables as independent variables in the multiple linear regression model proved to be a novel and effective approach for analyzing rainfall time series. The results can serve as a foundation for future studies, enabling prediction and informed decision-making based on the findings.
