O papel da ortodontia no desencadeamento ou prevenção da DTM
Authors: Gonçalves Cristina Maria Mendes , Guedes Ana Carina de Souza
Published: March 2024

A relação entre a Ortodontia e as Desordens Temporomandibulares (DTMs) constitui-se num dos assuntos mais controversos e discutidos na Odontologia atualmente. No passado, a oclusão era considerada como principal fator etiológico das DTMs, sendo o tratamento ortodôntico uma medida terapêutica primária para um restabelecimento fisiológico do sistema estomatognático. Com o estabelecimento da sua etiologia de origem multifatorial, atualmente, muita controvérsia ainda existe sobre o tema. Por meio de uma revisão da literatura, a proposta deste estudo foi analisar e discutir a influência do tratamento ortodôntico nas disfunções temporomandibulares, em relação aos aspectos clínicos e avaliar a incidência de sinais e sintomas da disfunção temporomandibular após esse tratamento. Os artigos foram selecionados na base de dados Google Acadêmico. Como descritores: oclusão, ortodontia e DTM. Critérios de inclusão: texto completo, período: 2000 a 2019, idioma: português. Pela análise dos artigos, conclui-se que a realização do tratamento ortodôntico, corretamente conduzido, continua tendo papel imprescindível na odontologia, pois estão envolvidos em diversos outros aspectos relevantes para a função e estética do sistema estomatognático e que não predispõe o indivíduo a um maior risco para o desenvolvimento de sinais e sintomas de DTMs, e também não pode ser oferecido como opção de tratamento exclusivo para essa patologia.

Published: March 2024

A etiologia da mordida aberta anterior é complexa e multifatorial. Pode-se desenvolver tanto por hábitos orais, crescimento excessivo dos tecidos linfáticos, posição da língua ou predisposição genética. Embora os pacientes em crescimento possam ser tratados com aparelhos ortodônticos interceptores, o tratamento de pacientes adultos apresenta um quadro mais complexo, uma vez que o crescimento cessa e as repercussões relacionadas ao hábito assumem um caráter definitivo. A ortodontia contemporânea evoluiu expressivamente e com ela as opções de tratamento para más oclusões consideradas complexas e de difícil correção. No passado os planejamentos recaiam apenas sobre a exodontia de dentes posteriores ou cirurgia ortognática. A partir do momento em que a ancoragem esquelética passou a fazer parte do cotidiano dos ortodontistas, mais especificamente os mini-implantes interradiculares e extra-alveolares e as miniplacas, resultados promissores foram conquistados. A utilização de alinhadores estéticos para corrigir o trespasse vertical negativo também é considerada como opção de tratamento para casos leves de mordida aberta. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura para identificar os diferentes métodos de correção da mordida aberta anterior.

Published: March 2024

A busca por aumento dos lábios com ácido hialurônico é um procedimento minimamente invasivo que se tornou cada vez mais popular nos últimos anos. Embora o preenchimento dos lábios seja aparentemente simples e seguros podem ocorrer complicações durante e após a operação, como edema, hematomas e até necrose. Por este motivo é importante o cirurgião-dentista ter um conhecimento aprofundado da anatomia geral da face para ser capacitado para monitorar esses eventos, recorrendo ao uso de enzimas hialuronidase. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é relatar o caso clínico de uma complicação com uso de agulha durante o procedimento de preenchimento labial, ressaltando a importância da hialuronidase e a correção de complicações insatisfatórias após aplicação de ácido hialurônico nos lábios. Para diminuição de eventuais sintomatologias recomenda-se o uso de hialuronidase para que o excesso de ácido hialurônico no local de aplicação correspondente seja reduzido.
MODEL DESIGN OF FUZZY LOGICAL SYSTEM OF THE SPACECRAFT CLASSIFICATION IN THE PROCESS OF SPACE SITUATION ANALYSYS
Authors: Bespalko I. , Naumchak L. , Pekariev D.
Published: March 2024

One of the stages of the space situation analysis is the classification of spacecraft. Existing approaches to solving this problem do not fully take into account the peculiarities of spacecraft features and classify them partially, only by individual features. Therefore, in order to implement an integrated approach to solving this problem, the possibility of using the fuzzy logic apparatus is considered and the main stages of the task are determined using the theory of fuzzy sets.
At the initial stages, features that allow spacecraft to be classified are identified. They are obtained from the analysis of a priori and a posteriori information in numerical, categorical or linguistic form. Subsequently, linguistic variables are defined, their terms for those features that can be provided in linguistic form are defined, and their membership functions of fuzzy sets are constructed.
The next steps is to form a base of fuzzy production rules for a fuzzy logic system for classifying spacecraft in the process of the space situation analysis, which is the basis for developing an algorithm and software for its implementation.
Further steps in solving the problem of spacecraft classification based on fuzzy logic are outlined. They consist of: finding the degrees of truth of the simplest statements for given values of input parameters; calculating the truth of the preconditions of the rules; determining the membership functions of each conclusion for a common linguistic variable; combining the membership functions by constructing their maximum; obtaining a specific value of the output variable.
The proposed approach can be used to solve the problem of complex spacecraft classification, taking into account most of the heterogeneous features.
Keywords: spacecraft classification; classification features; linguistic variables; membership function; fuzzy production rule.

Authors: Li Shuangjie , Li Ruoqi , Liu Fang
Published: March 2024

Abstract

The paper investigates the impact of digital transformation on the performance of automobile manufacturing enterprises in China based on the sample data of 66 listed enterprises from 2012 to 2022, finding that digital transformation can improve the performance of automobile manufacturing enterprises and the improvement is long-term. Mechanism analysis shows that improving the human capital level of enterprises is an important path for digital transformation to promote enterprise performance. Moderating effect analysis shows that enterprise capacity has a significant moderating effect. Specifically, weaker business capacity undermines the positive effect of digital transformation on the performance of enterprises, and stronger development capacity plays a positive moderating role in the impact of digital transformation on the performance of enterprises. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that digital transformation has a more significant positive impact on the performance of non-state, small and medium-sized, and eastern automobile manufacturing enterprises. Based on the research conclusions, targeted policy recommendations are put forward to provide a reference for promoting digital transformation and the performance of automobile manufacturing enterprises.

Este artigo apresenta a análise de um filme publicitário no segmento de cerveja utilizando EEG (eletroencefalografia) de baixa resolução, visando a avaliação do impacto emocional quando os pesquisados são expostos ao estímulo publicitário. O avanço da tecnologia Brain Computer Interface levou a dispositivos que conseguem capturar as frequências elétricas superficiais do cérebro e oferecessem uma oportunidade para utilização destes dados na avaliação da propaganda. Os resultados obtidos com o estudo demonstram que foi possível capturar efeitos significativos nas atividades elétricas do cérebro entre grupos de consumidores, contribuindo para a tomada de decisão mercadológica. A proposta desta pesquisa é demonstrar diferentes possibilidades de análises métricas publicitárias, quando aplicadas perspectivas multidisciplinares, neste caso com o uso da neurobiologia no campo das ciências sociais.
“Under the Whip” or Marital Violence, Cruelty and Drunkenness: Defining the Boundaries of Judicially Intolerable Marital Behaviour in the Cape Supreme Court, 1890–1900
Authors: Barratt Amanda
Published: March 2024

This contribution explores marital violence in the Cape during the last decade of the nineteenth century. It is based on a comprehensive review of 587 matrimonial cases heard in the Cape Supreme Court over a ten-year period from January 1891 to December 1900. The study shows that marital violence had occurred in almost one quarter of the matrimonial suits finalised during that decade. The contribution explores the judicial response to violence within marriage. The optimal protection available to an abused wife was a judicial separation order. Such an order was available where continued cohabitation had become dangerous or “intolerable”. The research explores the kinds of marital behaviour deemed to be sufficiently intolerable to justify a separation order. While the Cape Supreme Court did not always provide abused wives with the protection of a separation order, the court nevertheless expressed firm disapproval of physical abuse. It viewed continual drunkenness as intolerable behaviour, and also regarded both emotional and economic abuse as reprehensible. The contribution also takes a look at the community’s response to interspousal violence and at the prevailing societal views of appropriate behaviour for husbands and wives. The study further investigates the development of the companionate marriage as a partnership of equals. It shows that, by the late nineteenth century, wives were demanding more control within the marital consortium and further that contemporary societal expectations determined that marriages should be romantic relationships based on mutual affection. Law plays an important part in both reflecting and shaping social attitudes. The court rulings helped to shape the law by establishing the legal boundaries of so-called acceptable marital behaviour. These cases reveal the law’s role in shaping acceptable behaviour for husbands and wives respectively, reflecting and reinforcing gendered marital roles.
People for Sale: Tracing the Historical Roots of Slavery and Human Trafficking in Early Colonial South Africa
Authors: Mollema Nina
Published: March 2024

Some researchers assert that trafficking in persons is a contemporary form of slavery that has existed for at least a century between Africa and Europe in the form of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Other scholars, who only regard human trafficking as trafficking done for the purpose of sexual exploitation, maintain that the origins of modern trafficking dates to the end of the nineteenth century. However, the history of trafficking in South Africa goes back even further. This contribution outlines the history of human enslavement in South Africa from its conceptualisation as slavery through to its evolution as human trafficking. In this investigation, the similarities and differences between slavery and human trafficking are highlighted. By analysing the annals of human trafficking, it is shown that the original form of human exploitation – slavery – has a long-standing tradition in South Africa. It is contended that learning from past human-bondage injustices may contribute positively to a more comprehensive understanding not only of contemporary slavery, but also of the challenges affecting the present success of anti-trafficking efforts.
Evaluating remedial empowerment as a missing link in administrative justice
Authors: Heydenrych Ernst , Quinot Geo
Published: March 2024

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 frames the project of addressing South Africa’s past and current challenges as one of justice, in what has generally become known as transformative constitutionalism. However, South Africa’s justice system (the formal judicial mechanisms to extract justice) remains largely inaccessible to the poor due to its high costs, prolonged time-periods, and technical nature. Furthermore, South Africa does not currently have a uniform system of administrative, internal controls, and it also does not currently recognise an enforceable duty against the state to implement such a system. Within this context, the central argument of this contribution is that South Africa should, alongside section 7(2) of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000, recognise a duty to create internal remedies and establish a comprehensive system of administrative, internal remedies that would allow the public administration to correct or review its own decisions. The development of such a system would enable the public administration to deal with its decisions and actions on a first-hand basis and, in principle, broaden access to administrative justice for the poor and marginalised. It will also keep the promise of constitutional transformation as a matter of justice alive. We aim to set out the rationale for the creation and implementation of a uniform system of internal controls in this contribution.
Transformative constitutionalism and the framework of the common law of personality
Authors: Visser CJ
Published: March 2024

This article interrogates the constitutionalisation of the framework of the common law of personality – its substance and method – against the transformative constitutionalism paradigm. The transformative constitutionalism paradigm requires greater reflexivity as to the balancing of individualistic and collectivist values in common law frameworks. Such a constitutionalisation process must be influenced by legal culture and ideology as an overarching ideological concern. The Constitutional Court in Le Roux v Dey 2011 3 SA 274 ostensibly attempted to align the framework of the common law of personality with the Constitution of the Republic, 1996 (the “Constitution”). However, the court failed to articulate the human personality as a composite legal interest consisting of various personality rights, underscored by human dignity, due to a superseding preoccupation with subjective feelings of self-worth. This reduced the composite nature of the human personality and the multifaceted nature of human dignity. The same preoccupation also prevented the separate and distinct application of the requirements of the actio iniuriarum to articulate the human personality as a composite legal interest. This article refers to the court’s judicial line of reasoning as “the iniuria approach”. This approach gives rise to an inadequate alignment between the common law and the Constitution, resulting in a substantive mismatch. Such a substantive mismatch is a “defective conversion”, of which the underlying cause is an underpinning ideology of pre-constitutional notions of (classical) liberalism) concealed through a conservative legal culture with attendant formalistic modes of legal reasoning. This causes an imbalance between individualistic and collectivist values permeating the common law’s framework in contradiction to the transformative constitutionalism paradigm. This imbalance frustrates the development of the framework of the common law of personality in line with constitutional values and necessitates the rejection of the iniuria approach in favour of a more transformative approach.

Introdução: O monitoramento de esgoto como forma de controle da covid-19 é reconhecido mun­dialmente desde 2020. A confiabilidade dos resultados depende de uma metodologia representativa de todas as variáveis envolvidas no processo. As peculiaridades de cada ambiente de coleta tornam a padronização de procedimentos um processo árduo e não linear. Objetivo: Este relato visa mostrar os desafios e as superações no processo de coleta e armazenamento das amostras de águas residuá­rias. Métodos: Coleta de amostras de esgoto para análise físico-química e molecular para detecção de SARS-CoV-2 em um estabelecimento penal de regime semiaberto e em um hospital universitário. Relato de experiência: As coletas foram realizadas de forma efetiva e encaminhadas aos laboratórios de Nível de Biossegurança 2 para os procedimentos iniciais de pré-filtração e concentração do SARS­-CoV-2. As dificuldades encontradas foram: burocracia na tramitação da liberação para execução do projeto, especificidade das tubulações, diferença na representatividade das amostras, necessidade de rapidez no transporte das amostras, ambientes insalubres nas estruturas físicas dos esgotos avaliados, apresentando riscos físicos e biológicos para a equipe. Conclusão: O aspecto principal do estudo foi a caracterização físico-química e o monitoramento do material genético do SARS-CoV-2, porém, devido às dificuldades encontradas inicialmente, mostrou-se necessária a padronização em futuros projetos de águas residuárias.

Introdução: A prevenção, o monitoramento e o tratamento das deficiências físicas ocasionadas pela hanseníase são um desafio para os países endêmicos. Objetivos: Verificar a prevalência e descrever as deficiências físicas causadas pela hanseníase nos olhos, no nariz, nas mãos e nos pés por meio do Censo de Incapacidades do Estado de São Paulo (CIESP) de 67 municípios nos anos 2012 e 2015. Métodos: Foram elegíveis pacientes em tratamento e aqueles com alta quimioterápica. Os formulários foram auditados e posteriormente analisados pelo EPI INFO 7.2. Resultados: Dos 724 formulários avaliados, 456 (63%) apresentaram uma a quatro deficiências físicas já instaladas em locais como olhos, nariz, mãos e pés. Os segmentos mais acometidos foram pés (265 [36,6%]), seguidos das mãos (163 [22,5%]), olhos (110 [15,2%]) e nariz (45 [6,2%]). A ocorrência de deficiências foi encontrada em 91,1% (51/56) municípios, e a média foi de quatro casos por município (mínimo 1 e máximo 7). Conclusão: Apesar de ser uma região de baixa endemicidade, seis em cada dez indivíduos apresentam deficiências físicas em diferentes segmentos do corpo com diversidade de acometimentos. Conclui-se que um sério problema deve ser abordado pelos gestores, por profissionais de saúde e pela população.
Atividade profilática da cafeína no controle da doença de Parkinson
Authors: Rodrigues do Nascimento Freitas Samuel , Meire dos Santos Falcão de Lima Meire , Pontes de Oliveira Barros Danilo
Published: March 2024

I
 
 Introdução: No mundo, estima-se que a doença de Parkinson (DP) seja a segunda neuropatologia degenerativa mais comum, sendo precedida apenas pelo mal de Alzheimer. Trata-se de uma doença idiopática, que resulta das interações individuais com fatores ambientais e que acarreta disfunções bio­químicas. Sabe-se, entretanto, que metilxantinas, como a cafeína, possuem atividades biológicas que estão correlacionadas com a fisiopatologia das demências. Objetivo: Verificar a atividade profilática da cafeína no controle da DP. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com busca eletrônica de artigos científicos, publicados entre 2015 e 2020, nas bases Scientific Eletronic Library (SciELO), Centro Latino-americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME-OPAS-OMS) e National Library of Medicine, dos EUA (PubMed). A busca se deu a partir da pesquisa das palavras-chave “caf­feine and Parkinson disease”. Resultados: Foram selecionados dez artigos, dos quais cinco sugeriram que a cafeína possui potencial terapêutico no tratamento da DP em modelo animal; dois indicaram que, in vitro, a cafeína possui potencial terapêutico; três não correlacionaram a cafeína com melhora clínica da DP, em caso de doença já estabelecida em humanos; dois indicaram o consumo da cafeína como fator protetor ao desenvolvimento da DP. Conclusão: A cafeína possui atividade antiparkinsoniana in vitro e in vivo. Entretanto, esse efeito não se reproduz em ensaios clínicos, o que indica ineficácia translacional. Contudo, ainda se faz necessário mais estudos clínicos multicêntricos, com a cafeína isolada, que visem à averiguação da utilidade, ou não, como terapia adjuvante no tratamento da DP.

Introdução: A violência é um importante agravo de saúde pública que se destaca em determinados grupos vulneráveis, sendo necessário melhor identificação de suas características para efetividade das ações preventivas. Objetivos: Caracterizar os casos notificados de violência contra grupos vul­neráveis no Espírito Santo, no período de 2011 a 2018. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, utilizando todos os casos de violência registrados no Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação. As variáveis analisadas incluíram características da vítima, do agressor e do evento. O projeto foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética, e as análises foram realizadas no Stata 14.1. Resultados: A frequência de notificação de violência contra grupos vulneráveis foi de 88,5% (IC95%: 88,1-88,8). A violência contra crianças, adolescentes, mulheres e idosos foi majoritariamente cometida por homens. As víti­mas foram principalmente da raça cor parda/preta, sem deficiência ou transtorno, residentes da zona urbana/periurbana e do sexo feminino. A violência é mais comumente praticada nas residências e tem caráter de repetição. Conclusão: A violência está presente em todo o ciclo de vida, sendo essencial promover ações de enfrentamento a esse agravo.
Reviewing Cooling Strategies for Post-Dennard Era Computing and Modern Electrothermal Phenomena

Excessive thermal runaway typically manifests itself in computer component damage and other various negative side effects. As a mitigation strategy, end-users and consumers typically implement differing methods of component cooling, including fan-heatsink cooling, heatsink-only cooling, and liquid-based cooling. Different cooling methods remain impactful to modern computing, as it remains a core component in the thinking of thermal design and reliability engineering in the realm of semiconductor devices. The industry-wide acceptance of the end of Dennard scaling and the imminent end of Moore’s law are major factors that are currently impacting CPU power consumption trends and modern cooling philosophies. Transistor packing and process refinement is beginning to push against atomic boundaries in combination with phenomena such as leakage current and high current density, causing a general trend of increasing temperatures generation-to-generation in microprocessors. As a result, thermal mitigation strategies and protections must be in place to reduce damage and catastrophic failure while increasing performance of the die package. In a high-heat scenario, liquid-cooling can provide up to 38% to 48% improvement over fan-heatsink variants depending on the type of workload executed by the processor. Fan-heatsink cooling faces thermal resistance limitations in the form of spreading and air convection resistance as a result of heatsink material composition, the resistance along the path of heat flow impeding conduction rate, and the lower thermal conductivity of air compared to liquid. Currently, the best performing variant appears to be liquid-based cooling while fan-heatsink combinations provide adequate levels of thermal dissipation based on these observations.
Collagen as a Nanonization Strategy for Enhancing Natural Antioxidants in Cancer Treatment
Authors: Lin Amber , Cherng Juin-Hong
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this research was to determine whether nanoscale resveratrol (RSV), collagen added to RSV, is more effective than regular RSV. Collagen is a sturdy emulsifier made in the human body. RSV is an antioxidant which has anti-inflammatory properties, allowing it to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, which can induce cancer when in excess. However, RSV is not absorbed easily by the human body since it is excreted easily, making it less effective. This research paper was focused on overcoming the low bioavailability of RSV through reducing particle size. The concept behind this is nanotechnology, using technology to study 1 to 100 nanometer structures. Smaller RSV particles have increased surface area, which dissolves faster in the bloodstream. The hypothesis is that RSV particles would decrease by 8 times the volume, while the ROS levels in 3T3L1 cells would decrease with nanoscale RSV by 50%. The particle size distribution of RSV was measured with a spectrophotometer, while the ROS levels in 3T3L1 cells were measured by ELISA. The collagen-RSV solution had a greater peak than the regular RSV solution, indicating the particle size of RSV decreased after adding collagen. Also, the nanoscale RSV could reduce ROS levels more than regular RSV. This evidence supports the hypothesis that nanoscale RSV is effective in reducing ROS levels, and is smaller than regular RSV.
Analyzing the Effects of Caloric and Macronutrient Consumption on Productivity: A Quantified Self Approach to Assess Work Patterns and Habits

In this study, I examine the impact of caloric and macronutrient intake on personal productivity metrics, encapsulated by MacOS application engagement, iPhone application engagement, and frequency of unproductive application switches, during the three-hour period after a meal. As the quest for improved personal productivity intensifies in our modern society, understanding the link between dietary choices and cognitive performance takes on increasing relevance. Over a 26-day period, I systematically accumulated data on my food intake and productivity using self-tracking nutrition and productivity applications, such as MyFitnessPal and Timing App, respectively. I utilized statistical models to uncover the subtle interrelationships between food consumption and productivity. I found that a balanced macronutrient intake, particularly moderate to high protein and lower simple carbohydrate meals, was linked to greater productivity, while high caloric intake appeared to correlate negatively with productivity. However, my macronutrient intake did not necessarily impact my productivity, as did my meal timing and time of day. The time of day and my routine had a substantial edge on my productivity. These results suggest that dietary choices as well as one’s own time-based routine can significantly affect personal productivity, paving the way for further investigation into optimized nutrition and influencing broader dietary and productivity strategies in various professional and personal settings.
Parental Involvement and Growing Education Inequality in South Korea
Authors: Park Hyunseung
Published: March 2024

South Korea has been lauded for its education system for the past several decades because its students tend to score well on international achievement tests such as the PISA. However, closer examination of Korea’s education reveals that it is riddled with inequalities. This paper demonstrates how the education system perpetuates socioeconomic inequality instead of alleviating it, as education is intended. After providing relevant background information about the structure and standardization of the Korean education system, this paper reviews existing literature about socioeconomic status, parental involvement, and student achievement to understand how these factors continue to widen education inequalities in the country. Results show that the increasing prevalence of shadow education, or private tutoring, in the country has created gaps in student achievement such that students from high-income families score higher on standardized tests and have a far greater advantage in the job market than students from low-income families. Evaluation of current equalizing policies and suggestions for future improvement will also be discussed.

Background: ulcerative colitis is emerging as a worldwide epidemic, with prevalence of around 1% in North America and some European countries, and a rapid increase in incidence reported in Asia, China and Australasia. A number of recent reports and publications point to the burden that this rising tide of ulcerative colitis is imposing on patients, healthcare services and society (Panés et al., 2014).
Study aims to assess self-care among patients with ulcerative colitis disease and its relationship with their demographic data..
Methodology: : a descriptive study design was conducted at Al-Najaf city in the southern region of Iraq in Al-Najaf Al-Ashraf Health Directorate/ Specialized Hospital for Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease and Surgery from February 20th, 2023, to May 21th, 2023, in order to assess self-care among ulcerative colitis patients. The methodological strategies for data collection used an assessment questionnaire survey
Results: As the study shows, that the total responses of patients to universal self-care is moderate.
Conclusion: the study concludes that the level of patients' self-care is moderate, besides, patients' gender and occupation affect their universal self-care level.
Recommendations: health education programs should be applied to increase the patients' knowledge regarding how to improve their self-care and factors that affecting their self-care abilities.
