Authors: Baek Han-Sang , Kim Bongseong , Lee Seung-Hwan , Lim Dong-Jun , Kwon Hyuk-Sang , Chang Sang-Ah , Han Kyungdo , Yun Jae-Seung
Published: November 2023

Background: Elevated γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GTP) levels are associated with metabolic syndrome. We investigated the association of cumulative exposure to high γ-GTP with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a large-scale population.Methods: Using nationally representative data from the Korean National Health Insurance system, 1,640,127 people with 4 years of consecutive γ-GTP measurements from 2009 to 2012 were included and followed up until the end of 2019. For each year of the study period, participants were grouped by the number of exposures to the highest γ-GTP quartile (0–4), and the sum of quartiles (0–12) was defined as cumulative γ-GTP exposure. The hazard ratio for CVD was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model.Results: During the 6.4 years of follow-up, there were 15,980 cases (0.97%) of myocardial infarction (MI), 14,563 (0.89%) of stroke, 29,717 (1.81%) of CVD, and 25,916 (1.58%) of death. Persistent exposure to high γ-GTP levels was associated with higher risks of MI, stroke, CVD, and death than those without such exposure. The risks of MI, stroke, CVD, and mortality increased in a dose-dependent manner according to total cumulative γ-GTP (all P for trend <0.0001). Subjects younger than 65 years, with a body mass index <25 kg/m2, and without hypertension or fatty liver showed a stronger relationship between cumulative γ-GTP and the incidence of MI, CVD, and death.Conclusion: Cumulative γ-GTP elevation is associated with CVD. γ-GTP could be more widely used as an early marker of CVD risk, especially in individuals without traditional CVD risk factors.

Authors: Tian Changqing , Shahraki Abdol Aziz
Published: November 2023

This study analyses some characteristics of ancient construction and clarifies how they used renewable energy in their homes. This article analyzes ancient houses that were nature-oriented and used renewable energy. This study focuses on the structural system of ancient houses in Sistan. It dissects the structural elements of the old homes. The autopsy of the ancient house structure of Sistan shows the reader the techniques used in ancient architecture to provide energy. The research methods of this article are to examine the energy supply experiences of houses in the form of a case study of an old Sistan house to discover their energy-supplying techniques. This article uses the techniques used in Sistani houses with the application of modern house-building technologies, to develop a nature-oriented model. In fact, the model presented in this article is a modernized version of the ancient house of Sistan. This model gives a house completely friendly to nature and the environment and knowledge-oriented. The model contributes to housing programs addressing new requirements. Our proposed housing model and its general principles are replicable in other regions globally to use green energy sustainably.
Astrophysical Distance Scale. VII. A Self-consistent, Multiwavelength Calibration of the Slopes and Relative Zero Points for the Run of Luminosity with the Color of Stars Defining the Tip of the Red Giant Branch
Authors: Madore Barry F. , Freedman Wendy L. , Owens Kayla
Published: November 2023

Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise extragalactic distances via this method. Using ground-based data of the Large Magellanic Cloud from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey along with near-infrared (NIR) data from 2MASS and mid-infrared (MIR) data collected as a part of the SAGE survey using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we present slopes and zero-points for the TRGB in the optical (VI), NIR (JHK), and MIR ([3.6] and [4.5]) bandpasses. These calibrations utilize stars +0.3 ± 0.1 mag below the tip, providing a substantial statistical improvement over previous calibrations which only used the sample of stars narrowly encompassing the tip.
Heavy-ion Acceleration in 3He-rich Solar Energetic Particle Events: New Insights from Solar Orbiter

Published: November 2023

We present Solar Orbiter energetic particle observations of two 3He-rich events with features more clearly observed than in prior studies. The event of 2022 November 9 observed from 0.59 au contained hundreds of ultraheavy (UH; mass >78 amu) ions whereas previous observations at 1 au have shown only an occasional count or two. The event of 2023 April 8 observed from 0.29 au fortuitously had very low ambient activity, making it possible to observe spectra from the 3He acceleration mechanism without contamination, revealing extremely low H and 4He intensities arriving simultaneously with other ions observed in typical 3He-rich events. Taken together with previous studies, we believe these data show that 3He-rich events have a single acceleration mechanism that is responsible for the unique abundance features of 3He, heavy ions, and UH ions. Considering the acceleration model of Roth & Temerin that heats the ions over a broad range of gyrofrequencies away from those damped by H and 4He, we calculate reasonable fits to the observed abundances O–Fe. A key result is that high values of, e.g., Fe/O typical of such events is not due to preferential Fe heating, but on the contrary is due mainly to the depletion of O, which at elevated temperatures has a charge-to-mass ratio in the region of the waves damped by 4He. The model also naturally incorporates features of high-ionization states and neutron-rich isotope enhancements that have been long-standing puzzles in observations of this type of flare.

Recently the James Webb Space Telescope performed near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the atmosphere of a potential Hycean exoplanet, K2-18 b. These spectra provided evidence of methane and carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, along with a possible line attributed to biomarker dimethyl sulfide. In this work, we present triggered narrow-band radio observations of K2-18 b conducted using the Allen Telescope Array over 3–10 GHz, in search of signs of artificially produced radio emissions (technosignatures). We do not find any spatially isolated signals in the direction of K2-18 b, establishing lower and upper limits on the equivalent isotropic radiated power (∼1013–1016 W) of potential extraterrestrial transmitters between 3 and 10 GHz. This study emphasizes the importance of ongoing observations to further explore K2-18 b’s potential as a candidate for the detection of technosignatures.

Les différents changements climatiques en cours et à venir impactent de manière conséquente la région Provence-Alpes Côte d’Azur (PACA). Au travers d’une approche pluridisciplinaire et exploratoire, cet article vise à tracer une typologie des développements résidentiels des communes littorales. À partir des statistiques (Corine Land Cover, 2018) et de la cartographie présentée dans cet article, les résultats décrivent une région PACA caractérisée par un défi d’adaptation faible et un défi d’atténuation élevé. À cet effet, au regard de nouvelles contraintes imposées par la loi climat et résilience, une efficacité sur ce degré de gravité du dérèglement climatique peut être envisagée. Cet instrument juridique ne devrait pas agir seul mais en se combinant à d’autres mécanismes financiers. Classification JEL : K32, Q51, Q54, R14
L’extrême droite estonienne et la Suède
Authors: Kesa Katerina
Published: November 2023

Afin de comprendre la circulation d’informations et d’images entre les pays de l’espace baltique, cet article cherche à montrer comment les informations et images (souvent négatives ou jugées telles), venant de la Suède à propos des migrants ou concernant la situation des minorités sexuelles sont utilisées par les acteurs d’extrême droite estonienne, EKRE, pour promouvoir leur idéologie xénophobe et ultra-conservatrice en Estonie. En s’intéressant au discours de ce parti estonien et au contenu de son média « hyperpartisan » en ligne, Uued Uudised, en référence à la Suède, nous comprenons comment la présentation de ce pays nordique comme « contre-modèle » permet à EKRE de fonder ses actions politiques. Cette contribution s’intéresse aussi plus largement à la transnationalisation de l’activité d’EKRE, en observant aussi bien la coopération de cette formation avec d’autres mouvements de l’espace nordique que la reprise des pratiques et stratégies en matière de politique étrangère.
The History of the Russian-Language Media and Diasporas in Latvia and Finland
Authors: Khalimzoda Ilkhom
Published: November 2023

Les russophones vivant en Lettonie et en Finlande, pays voisins de la Russie, doivent s’orienter et négocier leur identité et leur sentiment d’appartenance face à un flot d’informations contradictoires, suivant les médias de langue russe. Bien que différents à bien des égards, ces deux pays présentent suffisamment de parallèles historiques à analyser. L’article propose une histoire des médias et des diasporas de langue russe en Lettonie et en Finlande. L’analyse commence avec la conquête russe historique de la Lettonie actuelle (1710) et de la Finlande (1809), se poursuit avec l’ère soviétique (1940-1990) et se termine avec la transformation post-soviétique (1991-2021).

Published: November 2023

L’article propose un retour réflexif sur la démarche du projet BRRISE, mené dans le cadre du programme national de recherche-action PSDR IV et du partenariat européen pour l’innovation FEADER PEI-AGRI. En plaçant la question du bien-être des populations au cœur de la recherche, le projet produit des connaissances partagées sur les territoires ruraux et urbains et introduit de nouvelles manières de faire de la recherche sur ces territoires. Cet article montre comment le projet s’est déroulé et construit autour de modalités partenariales hybrides. Il révèle également de quelle manière les approches normatives, constructivistes et expérimentales du bien-être ont été mobilisées. Il met en évidence les différents outils qui ont été élaborés pour mener des diagnostics territoriaux à plusieurs échelles et souligne le fait que ces diagnostics deviennent supports et objets d’une gouvernance territoriale avec les acteurs territoriaux et les habitants impliqués.
Les traces inconscientes des traumatismes vécus par les générations précédentes sont-elles des traces mnésiques phylogénétiques ?
Authors: Diatkine Gilbert
Published: November 2023

Comment les traces des évènements vécus par les générations précédentes s’inscrivent-elles dans notre inconscient ? Dans Totem et tabou, Freud soutient qu’elles se transmettent de génération en génération. Dans Moïse et le monothéisme, il propose au contraire que leurs traces mnésiques phylogénétiques y sont inscrites depuis les origines. Mais une trace ne peut être « mnésique », c’est-à-dire remémorable, que si elle est liée à des représentations de mots. Personne n’a donc de souvenirs antérieurs à sa propre acquisition du langage et encore moins des évènements antérieurs à sa naissance. Freud serait néanmoins revenu à l’idée de trace mnésique phylogénétique pour réaffirmer sa confiance dans le processus de civilisation, sérieusement ébranlée par sa rencontre directe avec les nazis au moment de l’Anschluss.
Les cicatrices ou une vie dans la peau
Authors: Le Breton David
Published: November 2023

Les cicatrices participent à la géographie singulière de la peau. Elles durent plus ou moins longtemps, accidentelles, délibérées ou provoquées par des processus pathogènes. Elles racontent les fragments d’une histoire à même la chair, dans leur langage propre et contribuent à l’individualisation du sujet. D’une marque à l’autre s’esquisse une biographie sensible. Elles sont parfois dévastatrices, débordant leur point d’origine pour envahir le sujet et devenir le centre de gravité de son existence. Elles composent des signes d’identité étalés sur la peau. Parfois invisibles aux yeux des autres, certains ne voient qu’elles. Elles sont l’objet de significations et de valeurs spécifiques pour les individus selon les circonstances de leur apparition et selon les situations.
La explosión sensible de las ciudades: acerca de las estéticas político-territoriales del disenso en el proceso constituyente chileno (2019-2022)
Authors: Rodríguez-Mancilla Marcelo , Koch Tomás
Published: November 2023

Ce texte explore les relations entre l'esthétique, la politique et le territoire pendant le processus d’élaboration de la constitution chilienne. À cette fin, il analyse la reconfiguration des subjectivités politiques des personnes qui ont participé à des organisations sociales à Valparaíso, au Chili, pendant les processus intenses d'articulation territoriale qui ont eu lieu au cours des trois dernières années. Sur la base de l'analyse du contenu des entretiens et des notes de terrain, l'article défend l'émergence d'un type d'esthétique politico-territoriale qui rompt avec l'ordre sensible institué par la rationalité néolibérale et s'en dissocie. Une nouvelle esthétique politique qui se caractérise par : a) des expériences sensorielles perturbatrices d'appropriation diversifiée de l'espace urbain qui élargissent l'exercice de la politique, b) des expériences solidaires de recomposition des liens socio-spatiaux médiatisés par l'articulation territoriale, et c) la réactualisation du paradoxe du système de représentation politique qui perpétue la distribution inégale du sensible dans les villes. Il est conclu que le régime de contrôle sensoriel a cherché à limiter cette nouvelle esthétique politico-territorialisée.

Published: November 2023

The Damon system is an effective, less-invasive treatment that provides orthodontic dentists with an adequate biomechanical process, offering a reduction in treatment time; patients with temporomandibular dysfunction present even greater complexity in their clinical picture, relying on clinical and radiographic differential diagnoses to facilitate a good prognosis. The objective was to apply the orthodontic treatment (Damon technique) to stabilize patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. The patient with premature loss of the first lower molars (36 and 46) experienced pathological alterations in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) (bilaterally). The diagnosis was reached using the clinical history of temporomandibular joint disorders (diagnostic criteria) axis II: moderate pain (VAS) in muscles, moderate stress (Hamilton 51/60), lateral and panoramic cephalic radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral TMJ, cephalometry, photographs, and models. Treatment with the Damon system is recommended to recover optimal functional occlusion in a short period, followed by referral for oral rehabilitation as an adjunct to the treatment plan. The verticalization of the second molars, maximum optimal intercuspidation, appropriate overbite and overjet, and pain control in the TMJ were evaluated. Stabilization of the disc condyle complex by eliminating interference and premature points of contact providing cervical/cranio/mandibular balance.
Three-dimensional evaluation of maxillary sinus volume, skeletal and dentoalveolar maxillary anterior region, in unilateral palatally impacted maxillary canine (Cross-sectional study)
Authors: Faiq Sahar Y. , Dewachi Zaid
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVES:

Three-dimensional evaluation of maxillary sinus volume using VR mesh and correlate it with the volume of maxillary canine, lateral incisor, and dentoalveolar and skeletal dimensions in both impacted and non-impacted sites.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

In a retrospective cross-sectional study, cone beam computed tomography scans of 100 patients with unilateral palatally impacted maxillary canine were analyzed. Canine, lateral incisor, and maxillary sinus volumes on the impaction and non-impaction sides were measured using DICOM files, with three-dimensional softwares (MIMICS) and VR mesh to accomplish this assessment.

RESULTS:

There were no significant differences in canine and lateral incisors volumes between male and female patients in the impacted side at (p > 0.05) while the maxillary sinuses volume revealed a statistical difference (P = 0.022) between male (12642 ± 810) and female (12481 ± 650) patients in the impacted side. A strong positive correlation was found between canine and lateral incisor volume for male patients in the non-impacted (r = 0.420**, P = 0.008) and impacted sides (r = 0.334*, P = 0.038).

CONCLUSIONS:

There were no significant differences in the canine volume, the height of the anterior alveolar ridge (AARHMLI), and anterior dentoalveolar (ADAHMLI) of maxillary lateral incisors in the impacted/non-impacted side, but it showed a statistically significant difference for the lateral incisors volume in the impacted and non-impacted sides for male and female patients. The maxillary sinus volumes revealed a statistical difference between males and females in impacted and non-impacted sides.
Stress effect on the mandibular dental arch by mentalis muscle over activity, finite element analysis
Authors: Al Zubaidi Saba H. , Alsultan Mustafa M.H. , Hasan Lamiaa A.
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVES:

The perioral muscles postural and functional abnormality should be clearly evaluated. The influence of the abnormal function of mentalis muscle on the shape and posture of the mandible was evaluated using a finite element approach.

METHODS:

Finite element analysis was used to create a three-dimensional representation of a human mandible that represents a dry normal mandible with teeth (33-36 gm/cm2). Pressures were applied directly to the labial surface of the mandible's lower anterior dento-alveolar structure reflecting the normal lips muscle function. While on abnormal swallowing pattern, lip muscle force (300 gm\cm2) had been assumed.

RESULTS:

Shape and postural abnormality of the mandible with malocclusion particularly at the anterior dentoalveolar and basal bone region in sagittal direction as well as inward pressure on the mandibular posterior region.

CONCLUSION:

Abnormal perioral muscle function throughout growth and development may result in a shape and postural abnormality of the mandible and a companying malocclusion.
Dental arch form in a sample of Iraqi adults with sickle cell anemia using 3D scanning technique: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Abdullah Hawraa Ali , Ahmad Haider M. A.
Published: November 2023

OBJECTIVE:

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a hematological condition that involves the synthesis of sickle-shaped, hemoglobin with a short lifespan. This study employed three-dimensional (3D) scanning to pinpoint the most common arch form in a sample of Iraqi adults with SCA.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A cross-sectional study included maxillary and mandibular casts of 50 patients (25 male and 25 female) with SCA and 50 participants in a control group (25 male and 25 female). The facio-axial (FA) point was digitized on each tooth's labial or buccal surface using SolidWorks® 2020 software. The dimensions of the arch were calculated using two proportional measures and four linear measurements. The dental arch form was determined using 3M templates, and the arches were categorized as square, ovoid, or tapered to establish the most-common arch form. Chi-square was used to compare arch form distribution, and an independent t-test was used to calculate the difference between the control group and the SCA group.

RESULTS:

The tapered arch was the predominant form in SCA males and females for the maxilla and the mandible. The molar vertical distance (upper and lower) was significantly higher in males in the SCA group than in males in the control group. There was no significant difference between females in the SCA group and females in the control group.

CONCLUSION:

Most patients with SCA had tapered arches. Sagittal jaw dimensions in males with SCA were more affected by marrow hyperplasia. There was little if any to no effect on females with SCA.
Root resorption of maxillary incisors after en masse intrusion and retraction with controlled tipping versus bodily movement in adults
Authors: Sadek Mais Medhat
Published: November 2023

INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the incidence of orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) after en masse maxillary incisors intrusion and retraction with controlled tipping versus bodily movement using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

This study is a retrospective study performed on CBCT scans of 36 adult females who had their maxillary first premolars extracted followed by en masse anterior retraction and intrusion using labial biocreative therapy type II. Subjects were divided into two groups of 18 subjects each based on the type of tooth movement required during en masse retraction: Group I; the controlled tipping group, and Group II; the bodily movement group. The amount of intrusion, crown and root retraction, change in incisor inclination, and difference in tooth length was measured from the CBCT scans. Independent t tests were used to compare the measurements between the two groups. Pearson rank correlation analysis was applied to identify the relationship between the mean dental changes and the mean changes in tooth length for all four upper incisors.

RESULTS:

OIIRR was found in all four maxillary incisors in both groups. No significant differences were found between the two groups. OIIRR was positively correlated to the amount of root apex retraction and negatively correlated to the change in incisor inclination.

CONCLUSIONS:

Anterior retraction and intrusion lead to obvious root resorption affecting all maxillary incisors. No significant differences were found between the two groups. Careful clinical monitoring is needed for patients requiring anterior retraction with intrusion with maximum anchorage.
Prevalence of canine impaction in the western province of Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey
Authors: Aljehani Dareen Khalid
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND/AIM:

Canine tooth impaction could have a negative influence on the stomatognathic system and could make it difficult for clinicians to manage malocclusions. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the prevalence of canine impaction, which could be a cause of malocclusion, in the population in the western province of Saudi Arabia.

METHODS:

A retrospective analysis of digital orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 400 patients aged 12–40 years, who are citizens of Saudi Arabia residing in the western province and who presented for treatment at the dental clinics of Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia were included. The OPGs and dental records of these patients were reviewed for canine impaction and were categorized based on age, gender, and type of impaction.

RESULTS:

The prevalence of patients that exhibited canine impaction was found to be 4%. Males had a significantly higher percentage of prevalence than females (P< 0.016), and impaction was significantly higher among patients aged below 18 years (P< 0.001). Moreover, the most commonly observed impaction was mandibular canine impaction (87.5%).

CONCLUSIONS:

Prevention of malocclusion and maintenance of a normal dentition (better aesthetics and chewing) necessitates early detection of impacted canines.
Bayesian cognitive science
Authors: Colombo Matteo
Published: November 2023

Bayesian cognitive science is a research programme that relies on modelling resources from Bayesian statistics for studying and understanding mind, brain, and behaviour. Conceiving of mental capacities as computing solutions to inductive problems, Bayesian cognitive scientists develop probabilistic models of mental capacities and evaluate their adequacy based on behavioural and neural data generated by humans (or other cognitive agents) performing a pertinent task. The overarching goal is to identify the mathematical principles, algorithmic procedures, and causal mechanisms that enable cognitive agents to take uncertainty into account and weigh it appropriately in producing adaptive behaviour.

The appeal of Bayesian cognitive science derives from its transparency, normativity, and unifying power. Resources from Bayesian statistics allow cognitive scientists to characterise transparently, in terms of random variables and probabilistic dependencies between them, the inductive problems that many mental capacities are presumed to solve. Given this characterisation, researchers can define an upper bound on one’s performance on that problem and use it as a benchmark for interpreting experimental results, formulating hypotheses about why and when deviations from optimal performance should be expected, and seeking explanations of mental capacities within one encompassing theoretical framework.

Although critics question the testability, explanatory power, and plausibility of Bayesian models of mental capacities, Bayesian cognitive science has proved itself to be an incredibly fruitful research programme. Fuelled by empirical and theoretical results from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, computer science, artificial intelligence, and evolution, Bayesian cognitive science has: advanced our understanding of why cognitive systems should keep track of uncertainty and use it to facilitate adaptive behaviour; clarified how the brain might encode information about the uncertainty of its stimuli and perform computations with probability distributions; and crystallised the insight that cognitive agents’ management of uncertainty might be grounded in predictive processes aimed at avoiding surprising exchanges with the environment.
