Objectives

To evaluate anchorage loss after en masse retraction in bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion patients using friction vs frictionless mechanics.

Materials and Methods

Thirty patients with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion needing extraction of upper first premolars and en masse retraction with maximum anchorage were included in this two-arm, parallel, single-center, single-blinded randomized clinical trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio using fully sealed opaque envelopes. Friction group retraction utilized elastomeric power chain between miniscrews and hooks crimped mesial to upper canines on 17 × 25 stainless steel archwire. Frictionless group used customized T-loop springs loading upper first molars indirectly anchored to miniscrews. Activation was every 4 weeks until full retraction. The primary outcome assessed was anchorage loss evaluated at cusp tip and root apex of the first molar. First molar rotation, incisor tip and torque, and root resorption of anterior teeth were evaluated on digital models and cone beam computed tomography taken before and after space closure.

Results

Anchorage loss at crown of first molar was significantly more in frictionless group by 2.1 mm (95% CI = −0.4 to 3.5), (P = .014), while there was no significant difference in anchorage loss at root apex between groups. Significant mesial in molar rotation of 6.672° (95% CI = 12.2–21.2), (P = 0.02) was greater in the frictionless group. Both groups showed comparable tip, torque, and root resorption values. No severe harms were reported. There was mild gingival overgrowth and inflammation in the frictionless group due to T-loop irritation.

Conclusions

Extra anchorage considerations are needed during en masse retraction when frictionless mechanics is implemented as higher anchorage loss and molar rotation were detected. No difference in tip, torque, and root resorption was observed.
School Feeding in N’Djamena – Chad: Characteristics of Sellers and Sales Framework
Authors: MA Djibrine
Published: May 2024

School feeding is a main feature of schools in every country around the world. This activity constitutes an essential nutritional source for the health, development and academic performance of schoolchildren. However, when hygiene rules are not respected during handling, the quality of the food offered is greatly compromised. The objective of this work was to define the main characteristics of the sellers, the types of food sold as well as the sales environment. From June 2021 to May 2022, twentytwo (22) schools in all categories (public and private) were targeted for the surveys. In total, 101 food sellers, 57 schoolchildren and 22 teachers were interviewed during the study period. The overall proportions of female sellers and married sellers were 90.10% and 61.39%, respectively (p < 0.001). Local Arabic was the language of communication for 73.27% of sellers. The vast majority of respondents (85.15%) had not received any training in good hygiene and manufacturing practices. The vast majority of respondents (85.15%) had not received any training in good hygiene and manufacturing practices. The most consumed foods were those prepared from cereals (36%) and fruits (31%). Furthermore, 51.49% of sellers displayed their food in the open air and 47.52% displayed it under trees. The fact that the lack of training of sellers on good hygiene and manufacturing practices, and the exposure of food to the open air by the majority of sellers constitute dangers for consumers. In light of these worrying shortcomings, the corrective approach should integrate training and awareness raising for stakeholders in order to raise the level of understanding of the risks.

Authors: Lin Chia-Yen , Hsiung Hsing-Hua
Published: May 2024

The competition for financial support among non-profit organizations (NPOs) has been intense for quite some time. It is crucial for these organizations to boost their competitive edge by gaining a deep understanding of donor behavior and fostering ongoing interactions with them. In today’s world, where convenience and efficiency are highly valued, factors such as the timing and location of donations can deter potential donors from contributing. Rigid and inconvenient donation methods can also hinder the donation process. As a result, this study aims to explore the role of convenience within the donation process, specifically investigating whether the convenience of online donation platforms provided by non-profit organizations significantly influences donors’ propensity to make contributions. This research differentiates the range of services offered by non-profit organizations and employs a questionnaire survey to examine the websites of the NPOs. A total of 466 valid responses were gathered. The empirical findings indicate that donors prioritize simplicity and speed in the online donation process. Additionally, donors prefer websites where they can easily locate necessary information and various details about the donation process, with relevant links that minimize time waste and complexity in navigating the website. The study also reveals that the convenience factor significantly influences donation behavior. Based on these insights, the study offers recommendations for non-profit organizations on how to provide donor-centric services by focusing on the aspects of convenience that donors value most in the donation process.

Authors: Guo Yanling , Zeng Yizhou
Published: May 2024

Focusing on Shanghai Port, this in-depth study explores how government support can make port organizations more competitive. This study shall implement qualitative analysis based on in-depth interviews with key industry and government leaders to break down the complicated actions taken by the government and how they have changed the operational and strategic skills of the port industry. Seven factors were found in our study to be the most crucial support factors: Financial, regulatory, infrastructure growth, talent, market, policy, and organizational support. In their ways, each of these groups undermines the ability of port businesses to compete. For instance, finance can make ports more competitive in aspects such as tax cuts, lower interest rates, innovation and R&D funds, financing programs, venture capital funds, and putting up R&D sites. Supporting regulations makes sure that there is fair competition and smooth operations. This is done by protecting intellectual property, keeping the market going smoothly, improving the business environment, and monitoring market regulations. Building new infrastructure, such as innovation and updated buildings, enables the smooth running of the port businesses and minimizes wastage of time; thus, more time is spent on production. Supporting talent, the market, and policy all work together to make the human capital, international cooperation, and strategic regulatory framework that a company needs to stay ahead in the long run. It is clear from organizational support how important collaborative networks are for making ports more competitive. These networks, for instance, can be of assistance in helping schools and businesses work together, create new technologies, and find ways for companies and colleges to study together. This study examines these support systems to determine where the government should step in and how the systems can be made better to make ports more competitive. In terms of practical contribution, this in-depth study helps policymakers and port workers plan for the future. This study shows a fair way for the government to support the port business, which changes with its needs and stays competitive in the world of trade.

Pleistocene deposits in the western part of the Holy Cross Mountains
Authors: Lindner Leszek , Dzierżek Jan
Published: May 2024

The paper presents characteristics of the Pleistocene sediments in the western part of the Holy Cross Mountains. They are subdivided into four complexes and their stratigraphic setting is referred to the updated scheme for the Pleistocene of Poland. The Preglacial Complex includes fluvial sediments characteristic for its lack of Scandinavian material. Sediments of three main glaciations (Nidanian, Sanian 1 and Sanian 2) within the South Polish Complex, are referred also as the South Polish Glaciations. The oldest of these glaciations (Nidanian) is separated from the middle glaciation (Sanian 1) by sediments of the Podlasian Interglacial, represented by clay at the Kozi Grzbiet Cave that contains faunal remains and record of the Brunhes/Matuyama palaeomagnetic boundary. During the middle (Sanian 1) and youngest glaciation (Sanian 2), the Holy Cross Mountains were almost completely covered by the Scandinavian ice sheet, forming glacial deposits separated by fluvial series of the Ferdynandovian Interglacial. The Middle Polish Complex begins with sediments of the Mazovian Interglacial, represented by a pollen record from the Zakrucze site. They are followed by deposits of periglacial and fluvial origin of the Liwiecian Glaciation, Zbójnian Interglacial, Krznanian Glaciation and Lublinian Interglacial. The following glaciation (Odranian) is represented by the youngest glacial deposits that document presence of the Scandinavian ice-sheet in the westernmost part of the Holy Cross Mountains. The North Polish Complex is composed of a climatic warming (Eemian Interglacial) and cooling (Vistulian Glaciation), and is represented by valley and periglacial deposits. The last cooling of the Pleistocene is recorded in faunal remains in the Raj Cave.
Chronostratigraphy of the late Vistulian in central Poland and the correlation with Vistulian glacial phases
Authors: Dzieduszyńska, Danuta A. , Forysiak Jacek
Published: May 2024

The Vistulian decline was a period of rapid environmental events. The authors correlated ages of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet limits in northern Poland with ages of prominent events adapting the conditions of periglacial environment of Central Poland in response to the Late Vistulian climate warming. Ages from previous thematic geological and palaeogeographical studies were collected. The approach used indicates that despite methodological uncertainties and sometimes inconsistency of ages, it is especially helpful in timing of first warming signals (ca. 19–18 cal ka BP) and establishing of environmentally bipartite 3 millennia of the Oldest Dryas in the extraglacial zone. Abrupt warming at the onset of the Bølling-Allerød is well registered in biotic and abiotic archives available from Central Poland and remains in agreement with the large recession of the southern ice sheet margin.
Holocene climate dynamics in Sumba Strait, Indonesia: a preliminary evidence from high resolution geochemical records and planktonic foraminifera
Authors: Putra Purna Sulastya , Nugroho Septriono Hari
Published: May 2024

The dynamics of climatic conditions during the Holocene in the Sumba Strait is not well known, compared with in the Indian Ocean. The aim of this paper is to identify the possible Holocene climate dynamics in Sumba Strait, eastern Indonesia by using deep-sea core sediments. A 243 cm core was taken aboard RV Baruna Jaya VIII during the Ekspedisi Widya Nusantara 2016 cruise. The core was analyzed for elemental, carbonate and organic matter content, and abundance of foraminifera. Based on geochemical and foraminifera data, we were able to identify at least six climatic changes during the Holocene in the Sumba Strait. By using the elemental ratio of terrigenous input parameter, we infer to interpret that the precipitation in the Sumba Strait during the Early Holocene was relatively higher compared with the Mid to Late Holocene.
Energy colonialism
Authors: Müller Franziska
Published: May 2024

Energy colonialism is an essential, yet scarcely theorized concept for understanding how past, present and future energy systems are shaped by colonial or neocolonial power dynamics, imaginaries, discourses, and practices. These perspectives are important for contemporary debates on energy transition processes, namely with regard to green finance flows, new green geopolitics, and energy governance. Energy colonialism becomes manifest as power over energy transition processes, as an epistemic force with regard to knowledge orders and knowledge transfer, but also as an intervention on an individual scale, affecting daily life and human-nature relations. Colonial continuities are pervading contemporary energy debates, for instance in the ‘run-up’ for green hydrogen produced the Global South to sustain economic growth in the Global North, in colonial imaginaries of terra nullius conceptions reproduced in energy partnerships, and not least in financial dependencies that stabilize the political economy of clean energy. Reconstructing how different understandings of energy colonialism entered political and academic debate, this article provides an account of its history of ideas and demonstrates how a lack of theoretical underpinning limits analytical rigor and activist work. To close this gap, I engage with the concept of coloniality in use, and suggest a more nuanced understanding of energy colonialism. A nine-field matrix demonstrates how energy colonialism becomes manifest on different levels of energy transitions and how the concept may serve as a multidimensional research strategy for critical social science research on energy transitions and modes of energy governance, energy infrastructures, and energy subjectivities.
Simulation Research on Logistics Distribution Path Based on Colony Intelligence Optimisation
Authors: Liu Xiaoling , Xu Jing
Published: May 2024

In light of the growing emphasis on “logistics integration,” this paper contends that the logistics network system requires comprehensive integration and optimization. We propose the use of the Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm to enhance the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). The penalty function method is employed to direct the BFO algorithm in identifying the optimal vehicle path encoding and to improve the convergence operations for logistics distribution. This study analyzes the fundamental characteristic elements of the VRP, introduces a basic model for the VRP, and develops a logistics distribution path optimization model that minimizes the total cost by thoroughly considering the expenses associated with cold chain low-carbon logistics distribution. A simulation environment is established, and algorithm parameters are set to determine the optimal solutions for both the BFO and the Improved BFO (IBFO) algorithms in the test function. An example is selected for practical application, wherein the design of the distribution center and points is carried out, and the colony intelligence optimization algorithm is applied to simulate the logistics and distribution paths. Combined with the specific case of cold chain distribution of food, the optimization of the cold chain logistics distribution path is solved. In the case study, when the carbon penalty coefficient is ε = 15, the optimal logistics and distribution site selection program is Guangxi and Guizhou, and the total cost of the supply chain is 16,363,365.92 yuan. At this time, the supply chain cost is optimal. Compared with the carbon penalty coefficient ε = 20, the economic cost increased by 70152.24 yuan, but the carbon emission decreased by 1890.9 kg. The optimization of logistics and distribution processes encourages enterprises to develop strategies that promote low carbon and environmental protection and achieve better economic and ecological outcomes.

Published: May 2024

In quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), normalizing target gene expression using a reference gene is an indispensable step to control the variability of RNA extraction yield, RNA integrity, reverse transcription efficiency, and PCR amplification. In the present study, we identified candidate reference genes with stable expression during grapes’ flowering and berry development stages. Ten genes, including ACT, CYP5, RLI, TUB, UBC, UBC17, UBC60, UFD1, VAG, and ZNF with relatively stable expression, were selected based on RNAseq data generated earlier in grape hybrid ‘ARI 516’. The expression of these candidate genes was tested at different stages of flowering and grape berry development. Five different algorithms such as RefFinder, geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and the comparative ΔCq method were used to test the expression stability of candidate genes. A comprehensive ranking obtained by RefFinder showed that UBC17, RLI, and ZNF were the most stable reference genes during flower and berry development stages. UBC17, RLI, and ZNF were calibrators to normalize the expression of VvAGL11 as a target gene to validate the worthiness of identified reference genes. The result demonstrated that newly identified reference genes could be successfully used to normalize the expression of the target gene accurately. These reference genes will provide more choices for selecting appropriate reference genes to normalize gene expression in grapes.

Published: May 2024

The inclusion of DRR education in the curriculum has been part of the response of the government to the increasing threats of disasters in the Philippines. Yet it was found out that students are still mostly uncertain when a disaster occurs, more specifically on evacuation plans, hazards and disaster-prone areas . This study aimed to develop an instructional material to increase the knowledge, preparedness, and awareness towards hydrometeorological hazards of Grade 11 students in Caloocan City Science High School. The Hydrometeorological Disaster Risk Awareness board game (HYDRA), was first evaluated by seven DRRR experts and Science teachers using the DepEd LRMDS evaluation tool, before it was implemented to the Grade 11 students. Data were collected from 20 participants using a 20-item test questionnaire and a 16-item survey form. The results of the pretests and posttests have shown significant differences with large effect sizes, which implies that the game has significantly increased the students’ disaster risk knowledge (p 0.001; d = 1.5), preparedness (p 0.001; d = 1.92), and awareness (p 0.001; d = 1.96). The game also received an overall evaluation rating of 3.99 out of 4, which means that it met the criteria for an appropriate instructional material. These findings suggest that HYDRA can be used as an alternative educational tool in teaching DRRR.

Religión, pueblo y nación: catolicismo “periférico” e identidad nacional en México en la narrativa de viaje italiana de inicios del siglo XX
Authors: Franco Savarino Roggero Franco
Published: May 2024

El capítulo aborda el panorama religioso e identitario en México durante el período del Conflicto religioso, a través de la mirada de cuatro escritores italianos que visitaron el país entre 1913 y 1931. Los escritores italianos tienen una perspectiva particular que se inscribe en una relación transnacional, donde una “periferia” europea (Italia) dirige su mirada a otra “periferia” de Occidente, situada en el continente americano, que es también una “periferia” del catolicismo. Los italianos buscan comprender la alteridad mexicana en sus aspectos antropológicos, históricos, sociales y políticos de una manera a la vez más estilizada y más reflexiva, respecto a otras formas de mirar desde fuera. El resultado es una narrativa peculiar que ayuda a comprender un momento dramático de la historia del país, caracterizado por una guerra civil y un proceso contradictorio y gigantesco de formación nacional e institucional, con rasgos ideológicos radicales, que incluyen una coherente política anticlerical y secularizadora por parte del Estado. La religión, la cultura y la identidad nacional desafiada en este proceso de transformación son el foco del interés de la narrativa de los escritores italianos que se adentran en la complejidad del laberinto mexicano.
La clericalización de los seglares en el pontificado de Pío XI (1922- 1939). Un análisis comparativo Italia – México
Authors: Mutolo Andrea
Published: May 2024

Este artículo analiza el papel de los seglares en la Acción Católica (AC) en México y en Italia. La feligresía de México, después de la derrota del Movimiento Cristero y la fundación del Acción Católica Mexicana (ACM), se encaminó hacia un riguroso control que el episcopado mantuvo gracias a la consolidación de la ACM y a su estructura vertical donde, en la cima de la pirámide, la alta jerarquía mexicana implementó una acción de estricta vigilancia sobre los seglares. Por igual, en Italia, la refundación y consolidación de la Acción Católica Italiana (ACI) implementó un régimen donde la feligresía no tenía la posibilidad de desarrollar acciones autónomas respecto al clero.

Com a Teologia não foi diferente, a crise sanitária exigiu uma série de medidas que modificou as práticas educacionais, obrigando as instituições a se adaptarem rapidamente ao ambiente e formato virtual de ensino. Nesse cenário desafiador, surgiram também oportunidades para repensar e inovar o processo de formação teológica, explorando ferramentas tecnológicas, repensando práticas pedagógicas e procurando promover maior interação entre os estudantes. Este artigo examina os desafios e oportunidades do ensino de teologia durante a pandemia, na percepção de alunos e professores de uma IES do interior do Estado de SP.
Objetivo: Examinar os desafios e oportunidades no ensino de teologia no período da Pandemia de COVID-19, em uma IES do interior do estado de SP.
Método: O estudo caracteriza-se como exploratório, de abordagem predominantemente quantitativa mediante aplicação de survey a 257 alunos e 15 docentes de teologia no período de 02 a 06 de junho de 2020. Também foram checados documentos do Comitê Gestor de Crises. Os dados do survey foram analisados mediante estatística descritiva. Para os comentários dos docentes e alunos e informações do comitê, utilizou-se da Análise de Conteúdo.
Resultados (esperados / parciais): Os resultados do estudo permitem verificar que, apesar dos desafios impostos pela pandemia, a rapidez com que a IES migrou para o formato online, mediante aulas remotas via plataforma Zoom e ambiente virtual de Aprendizagem (CANVAS),  permitiu que os alunos conseguissem avançar em seus estudos sem perdas significativas. Os resultados iniciais indicaram que metade dos alunos gostam tanto quanto ou mais das aulas online que presenciais. Docentes também foram positivamente surpreendidos, ao ponto de que a grande maioria permaneceria lecionando online por mais tempo sem problemas. Quanto às vantagens do modelo online, a possibilidade de revisão e a economia de tempo de locomoção foram os destaques para os alunos e, os professores enxergam vantagem na comodidade de lecionar em casa e na possibilidade de os alunos revisarem os conteúdos. Como desvantagens os alunos relataram a concentração prejudicada e o cansaço visual, este último repetido pelo docente, acrescido da incerteza da assistência às aulas pelo aluno que deixa a câmera desligada.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um distúrbio do neurodesenvolvimento caracterizado por déficits na comunicação, socialização e padrões de comportamentos repetitivos e estereotipados (OMS, 2020). Além disso, o espectro afeta sobretudo a comunicação e a linguagem, tornando-se ainda mais evidente no desenvolvimento das habilidades sociais, comportamentos inflexíveis e comunicação verbal e não verbal. É comum que crianças diagnosticadas com TEA apresentam algum grau de hipersensibilidade ao barulho e locais com muitas pessoas, como a escola, o que pode dificultar sua adaptação ao ambiente escolar.A Constituição Brasileira de 1988 (BRASIL, 1988) estabelece que todo indivíduo, independentemente de sua condição biopsicossocial, tem direito a receber uma educação de qualidade em todas as esferas administrativas. As crianças com autismo também têm direito à educação e ao ensino básico na sala de aula. A criança precisa ter os mesmos recursos e estímulos que os pares, respeitando suas limitações. Sendo assim, o propósito deve ser trabalhar a autonomia, independência e desenvolvimento. Se a escola fizer sua parte na inclusão, ajudará a criança a ampliar seu repertório, ampliar a sua comunicação, estimulando-a através do brincar e do ensino formal a construir aprendizagens e desenvolver habilidades sociais. Uma criança autista matriculada em uma escola regular apresenta melhorias em sua socialização, tanto na escola quanto em casa.
Objetivo: Analisar os benefícios e desafios da inclusão no desenvolvimento escolar da criança com o espectro autista.
Método: O presente artigo tem como objetivo, levantar na literatura os benefícios e desafios da inclusão no desenvolvimento escolar da criança com Transtorno do Espectro Autista e, como objetivos específicos, identificar as diferentes características que auxiliam nos primeiros sintomas das crianças portadoras do autismo, e analisar as estratégias que auxiliam na inclusão da criança com espectro no ambiente escolar. A pesquisa é de revisão bibliográfica narrativa, examinando produções tais como: artigos, livros e outras publicações sobre o tema.

Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre os aplicativos móveis e suas contribuições para a prática do cuidado na saúde da criança em publicações online. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com estudos publicados entre 2012 a 2022, tendo como questão norteadora do estudo: quais são os aplicativos móveis e suas contribuições para a prática do cuidado na saúde da criança? O levantamento dos artigos científicos ocorreu através das seguintes bases de dados: Scientific Electronic library online (SCIELO), Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) e Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF) via portal Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Resultados: Ao final da apreciação crítica, foram incluídos 9 artigos, em que os aplicativos móveis analisados, mostraram-se como ferramentas de orientação acerca de temáticas como: fornecer informações aos familiares de crianças e adolescentes submetidas ao tratamento do câncer, propor uma padronização na assistência de enfermagem, incentivar crianças a escovação dentária, dentre outros. Considerações finais: Os aplicativos móveis voltados à saúde da criança geram em seus usuários uma maior segurança frente a determinados tratamentos, além de melhorar o desenvolvimento infantil por meio da prática de rotinas saudáveis.

Background:

The classical supraorbital minicraniotomy (cSOM) constitutes a minimally invasive alternative for the resection of anterior skull base meningiomas (ASBM). Surgical success depends strongly on optimal patient selection and surgery planning, for which a careful assessment of tumor characteristics, approach trajectory, and bony anterior skull base anatomy is required. Still, morphometrical studies searching for relevant anatomical factors with surgical relevance when intending a cSOM for ASBM resection are lacking.

Methods:

Bilateral cSOM was done in five formaldehyde-fixed heads toward the areas of origin of ASBM. Morphometrical data with potential relevant surgical implications were analyzed.

Results:

The more tangential position of the cSOM with respect to the olfactory groove (OG) led to a reduction in surgical freedom (SF) in this area compared to others (P < 0.0001). Frontal lobe retraction (FLR) was also higher when approaching the OG (P < 0.05). Olfactory nerve mobilization was higher when accessing the planum sphenoidale (PS), tuberculum sellae (TS), and anterior clinoid process (ACP) (P < 0.0001). OG depth and the slope of the sphenoid bone between the PS and TS predicted lower SF and higher frontal retraction requirements along the OG and TS, respectively (P < 0.05). In contrast, longer distances to the ACP tip predicted lower SF over this structure (P < 0.01).

Conclusion:

Although clinical validation is still needed, the present anatomical data suggest that assessing minicraniotomy’s position/extension, OG depth, the sphenoid’s slope, and distance to ACP-tip might be of particular relevance to predict FLR, maneuverability, and accessibility when considering the cSOM for ASBM resection, thus helping surgeons optimize patient selection and surgical strategy.

Background:

Although awake surgery is the gold standard for resecting brain tumors in eloquent regions, patients with hearing impairment require special consideration during intraoperative tasks.

Case Description:

We present a case of awake surgery using sign language in a 45-year-old right-handed native male patient with hearing impairment and a neoplastic lesion in the left frontal lobe, pars triangularis (suspected to be a low-grade glioma). The patient primarily communicated through sign language and writing but was able to speak at a sufficiently audible level through childhood training. Although the patient remained asymptomatic, the tumors gradually grew in size. Awake surgery was performed for tumors resection. After the craniotomy, the patient was awake, and brain function mapping was performed using tasks such as counting, picture naming, and reading. A sign language-proficient nurse facilitated communication using sign language and the patient vocally responded. Intraoperative tasks proceeded smoothly without speech arrest or verbal comprehension difficulties during electrical stimulation of the tumor-adjacent areas. Gross total tumor resection was achieved, and the patient exhibited no apparent complications. Pathological examination revealed a World Health Organization grade II oligodendroglioma with an isocitrate dehydrogenase one mutant and 1p 19q codeletion.

Conclusion:

Since the patient in this case had no dysphonia due to training from childhood, the task was presented in sign language, and the patient responded vocally, which enabled a safe operation. Regarding awake surgery in patients with hearing impairment, safe tumor resection can be achieved by performing intraoperative tasks depending on the degree of hearing impairment and dysphonia.
