Authors: Spitzer Kerry A , Heineman Brent , Jewell Marcella , Moran Michael , Lindenauer Peter K
Published: July 2021

Background

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that affects nearly 25 million individuals in the United States. More research is needed into the potential for health care providers to leverage existing social media platforms to improve healthy behaviors and support individuals living with chronic health conditions.

Objective

In this study, we assessed the willingness of Instagram users with poorly controlled asthma to participate in a pilot randomized controlled trial that will use Instagram as a means of providing social and informational support. In addition, we explored the potential for adapting the principles of photovoice and digital storytelling to Instagram.

Methods

We conducted a survey study of Instagram users aged 18-40 years with poorly controlled asthma in the United States.

Results

Over 3 weeks of recruitment, 457 individuals completed the presurvey screener; 347 (75.9%) were excluded and 110 (24.1%) were eligible and agreed to participate in the study. Of the 110 individuals, 82 (74.5%) completed the study survey. The mean age of the respondents was 21 (SD 5.3) years. Among respondents, 56% (46/82) were female, 65% (53/82) were non-Hispanic White, and 72% (59/82) had at least some college education. The majority of respondents (67/82, 82%) indicated that they would be willing to participate in the proposed study.

Conclusions

Among young adult Instagram users with asthma, there is substantial interest in participating in a pilot randomized controlled trial that will use Instagram to connect participants with peers and a health coach to share information about self-management of asthma and build social connection.
Depression Detection on Reddit With an Emotion-Based Attention Network: Algorithm Development and Validation
Authors: Ren Lu , Lin Hongfei , Xu Bo , Zhang Shaowu , Yang Liang , Sun Shichang
Published: July 2021

Background

As a common mental disease, depression seriously affects people’s physical and mental health. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, depression is one of the main reasons for suicide and self-harm events in the world. Therefore, strengthening depression detection can effectively reduce the occurrence of suicide or self-harm events so as to save more people and families. With the development of computer technology, some researchers are trying to apply natural language processing techniques to detect people who are depressed automatically. Many existing feature engineering methods for depression detection are based on emotional characteristics, but these methods do not consider high-level emotional semantic information. The current deep learning methods for depression detection cannot accurately extract effective emotional semantic information.

Objective

In this paper, we propose an emotion-based attention network, including a semantic understanding network and an emotion understanding network, which can capture the high-level emotional semantic information effectively to improve the depression detection task.

Methods

The semantic understanding network module is used to capture the contextual semantic information. The emotion understanding network module is used to capture the emotional semantic information. There are two units in the emotion understanding network module, including a positive emotion understanding unit and a negative emotion understanding unit, which are used to capture the positive emotional information and the negative emotional information, respectively. We further proposed a dynamic fusion strategy in the emotion understanding network module to fuse the positive emotional information and the negative emotional information.

Results

We evaluated our method on the Reddit data set. The experimental results showed that the proposed emotion-based attention network model achieved an accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure of 91.30%, 91.91%, 96.15%, and 93.98%, respectively, which are comparable results compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Conclusions

The experimental results showed that our model is competitive with the state-of-the-art models. The semantic understanding network module, the emotion understanding network module, and the dynamic fusion strategy are effective modules for depression detection. In addition, the experimental results verified that the emotional semantic information was effective in depression detection.
COVID-19 Information Dissemination Using the WeChat Communication Index: Retrospective Analysis Study (Preprint)
Authors: Fan Zina , Yin Wenqiang , Zhang Han , Wang Dandan , Fan Chengxin , Chen Zhongming , Hu Jinwei , Ma Dongping , Guo Hongwei
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 outbreak has tremendously impacted the world. The number of confirmed cases has continued to increase, causing damage to society and the economy worldwide. The public pays close attention to information on the pandemic and learns about the disease through various media outlets. The dissemination of comprehensive and accurate COVID-19 information that the public needs helps to educate people so they can take preventive measures.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to examine the dissemination of COVID-19 information by analyzing the information released by the official WeChat account of the People’s Daily during the pandemic. The most-read COVID-19 information in China was summarized, and the factors that influence information dissemination were studied to understand the characteristics that affect its dissemination. Moreover, this was conducted in order to identify how to effectively disseminate COVID-19 information and to provide suggestions on how to manage public opinion and information governance during a pandemic.

METHODS

This was a retrospective study based on a WeChat official account. We collected all COVID-19–related information, starting with the first report about COVID-19 from the People’s Daily and ending with the last piece of information about lifting the first-level emergency response in 34 Chinese provinces. A descriptive analysis was then conducted on this information, as well as on Qingbo Big Data’s dissemination index. Multiple linear regression was utilized to study the factors that affected information dissemination based on various characteristics and the dissemination index.

RESULTS

From January 19 to May 2, 2020, the People’s Daily released 1984 pieces of information; 1621 were related to COVID-19, which mainly included headline news items, items with emotional content, and issues related to the pandemic’s development. By analyzing the dissemination index, seven information dissemination peaks were discerned. Among the three dimensions of COVID-19 information—media salience, content, and format—eight factors affected the spread of COVID-19 information.

CONCLUSIONS

Different types of pandemic-related information have varying dissemination power. To effectively disseminate information and prevent the spread of COVID-19, we should identify the factors that affect this dissemination. We should then disseminate the types of information the public is most concerned about, use information to educate people to improve their health literacy, and improve public opinion and information governance.

Online Selection of a Physician by Patients: The Impression Formation Perspective (Preprint)
Authors: Huang Zhengwei , Duan Chen , Yang Yanni
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of online healthcare communities, an increasing number of physicians provide services in the online healthcare communities that enable patients to consult online. However, it is difficult for patients to determine the professional level of doctors before consultation and diagnosis because of information asymmetry. A wealth of information about physicians displayed in their profile as a new means to help patients evaluate and select quickly and accurately.

OBJECTIVE

This research explores how the profile information presented in the online healthcare communities affects patients' impression formation, especially the perception of professional capital (i.e., status capital and decisional capital). The impression further affects their consultation intention, partially mediated by the initial trust. Toulmin’s model of argumentation is used to understand the strength of the argument presented in physicians’ homepage information and divide it into claim, data, and backing.

METHODS

This study conducts an internet experiment and recruits 386 subjects on the internet to explore the effect of impression formation on online selection behavior by a patient.

RESULTS

The results show that the strength of argument has a significant positive association with the perception of professional capital. Perceptions of professional capital are highest when a fully composed argument (claim/data/backing) is included in a profile, with claim/data being the next highest and claim only the lowest. Recommendations from connections have the strongest impact. The professional capital perception, in turn, influences patients’ selection decisions, which is partially mediated by initial trust.

CONCLUSIONS

This study is of great significance to the implication for theory and practice. On the one hand, this research contributes to the online health community literature and suggests that the perception of professional capital on physicians be pre-presumed and built on the basis of the information before in-person interactive online. On the other hand, this study is helpful to understand the effect of various components included in the profile information on perceiving physicians’ ability, and not all information is of the same importance.
Accuracy of Physical Assessment in Nursing for Cervical Spine Joint Pain and Stiffness: Pilot Study Protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Soares Bruno , Fonseca Raquel , Fonseca Patrícia , Alves Paulo
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Cervical spine dysfunction is a condition with high personal, social, and economic impact worldwide. Although its etiology is described as multifactorial, there is a need for further clarification. The literature has demonstrated the anatomical, physiological, and pathophysiological relationship among the cervical spine, temporomandibular joint, and visceral system. To guide and contribute to the accuracy of the physical assessment performed by nurses, we will study the influence of the stomatognathic system and viscerosomatic reflexes on pain and joint stiffness of the cervical spine.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to describe a pilot study protocol to investigate the influence of the stomatognathic system and viscerosomatic reflexes on cervical structures.

METHODS

A pilot study with a quasi-experimental design was conducted with 50 volunteers from the university population of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa-Porto. We studied the influence of changes in the usual intercuspation, the occlusal deprogramming, and the pressure stimulus of the reflex skin region of the ilium/colon in the cervical spine. This study was divided into 2 phases. In the first phase, we performed the kinematic and pain analysis during the passive mobilization of the upper cervical spine using the Motion Capture System at the Motion Capture Laboratory at UCP-Porto and the Visual Analog Scale. In the second phase, we evaluated the pain threshold on palpation of the erector neck muscles and the structures of the stomatognathic system using algometry. The influence of viscerosomatic reflexes on the structures of the stomatognathic system was also analyzed.

RESULTS

Selection and preparation of the data collection site, acquisition of materials, constitution of the sample group and data collection were completed. The analysis of the results is being carried out.

CONCLUSIONS

The data from this study will allow for the detection of the possible influence of the stomatognathic system and viscerosomatic reflexes on pain and range of motion of the upper cervical spine, providing data for future randomized studies. We have also identified potential limitations of this study.

The Relative Contributions of Live and Recorded Online Mindfulness Training Programs to Lower Stress in the Workplace: Longitudinal Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Wolever Ruth Q , Finn Michael T M , Shields Denise
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Despite numerous gaps in the literature, mindfulness training in the workplace is rapidly proliferating. Many “online” or “digital mindfulness” programs do not distinguish between live teaching and recorded or asynchronous sessions, yet differences in delivery mode (eg, face-to-face, online live, online self-guided, other) may explain outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to use existing data from an online mindfulness solutions company to assess the relative contribution of live and recorded mindfulness training to lower perceived stress in employees.

METHODS

Perceived stress and the amount of live and recorded online mindfulness training accessed by employees were assessed during eMindful’s One-Percent Challenge (OPC). The OPC is a 30-day program wherein participants are encouraged to spend 1% of their day (14 minutes) practicing mindfulness meditation on the platform. We used linear mixed-effects models to assess the relationship between stress reduction and usage of components of the eMindful platform (live teaching and recorded options) while controlling for potential reporting bias (completion) and sampling bias.

RESULTS

A total of 8341 participants from 44 companies registered for the OPC, with 7757 (93.00%) completing stress assessments prior to the OPC and 2360 (28.29%) completing the postassessment. Approximately one-quarter of the participants (28.86%, 2407/8341) completed both assessments. Most of the completers (2161/2407, 89.78%) engaged in the platform at least once. Among all participants (N=8341), 8.78% (n=707) accessed only recorded sessions and 33.78% (n=2818) participated only in the live programs. Most participants engaged in both live and recorded options, with those who used any recordings (2686/8341, 32.20%) tending to use them 3-4 times. Controlling for completer status, any participation with the eMindful OPC reduced stress (B=–0.32, 95% CI –0.35 to –0.30, SE=0.01, t2393.25=–24.99, P<.001, Cohen d=–1.02). Participation in live programs drove the decrease in stress (B=–0.03, SE=0.01, t3258.61=–3.03, P=.002, d=–0.11), whereas participation in recorded classes alone did not. Regular practice across the month led to a greater reduction in stress.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings are in stark contrast to the rapid evolution of online mindfulness training for the workplace. While the market is reproducing apps and recorded teaching at an unprecedented pace, our results demonstrate that live mindfulness programs with recorded or on-demand programs used to supplement live practices confer the strongest likelihood of achieving a significant decrease in stress levels.
Vitamin K Insufficiency in the Indian Population: Pilot Observational Epidemiology Study (Preprint)
Authors: Vaidya Rama , Vaidya Ashok D B , Sheth Jayesh , Jadhav Shashank , Mahale Umakant , Mehta Dilip , Popko Janusz , Badmaev Vladimir , Stohs Sidney J
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The fat-soluble K vitamins K1 and K2 play an essential role in the blood coagulation cascade and are made available predominantly through selective dietary intakes. They are less known for their nonessential roles in a family of vitamin K–dependent proteins that promote various functions of organs and systems in the body. A lack of vitamin K can characterize vitamin and nutritional element insufficiency, which is different from a clinically apparent vitamin deficiency.

OBJECTIVE

This epidemiological study evaluated the nutritional status of vitamin K in a sample of the Indian population and vitamin K content in staple Indian foods.

METHODS

Serum levels of vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7) were assessed via high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection in 209 patients with type 2 diabetes, 50 healthy volunteers, and common staple foods in India.

RESULTS

After comparing populations with high and low serum vitamin K levels from various geographical regions, our results indicated that the sample of healthy Indian individuals and the sample of Indian patients with type 2 diabetes had low (insufficient) levels of vitamin K2 (MK-7; range 0.3-0.4 ng/mL). No significant differences existed in vitamin K1–related and MK-7–related values between healthy male and female subjects, between male and female subjects with diabetes, and between the healthy sample and the sample of patients with diabetes. The staple, commonly consumed Indian foods that were tested in this study had undetectable levels of vitamin K2, while levels of vitamin K1 varied widely (range 0-37 µg/100 g).

CONCLUSIONS

Based on our sample’s low serum levels of vitamin K2 (MK-7) as well as the low levels of vitamin K2 in their typical diet, we propose that the general Indian population could benefit from the consumption of vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 supplements.

Evaluating the Appropriateness of Free Text Notes in Electronic Prescriptions Across Time and Electronic Prescribing Version (Preprint)
Authors: Surescripts Deborah
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

The free-text note field of the NCPDP SCRIPT schema allows prescribers to communicate information which the schema does not otherwise accommodate. Including inappropriate (could be sent in a dedicated field) or unnecessary (provides no value to the prescription) notes has a negative impact on patient care, ranging from wasted clinician time to introducing error risk by including conflicting, or incorrect information.

OBJECTIVE

The research team hypothesized that appropriate usage of the notes field would improve using NCPDP SCRIPT version 2017071 (V2017071) in comparison to NCPDP SCRIPT version 10.6 (V10.6).

METHODS

As a follow up to the study “Analysis of Prescribers’ Notes in Electronic Prescriptions in Ambulatory Practice”, a qualitative analysis was performed on 5 000 randomly selected prescriptions for which the note field was populated. Notes were classified as appropriate, inappropriate, or unnecessary and then sub-categorized based on content. The team performed three analyses: 1) Comparing the original study to current results 2) Comparing current notes in V10.6 to V2017071, and 3) An updated evaluation of V2017071 notes with reclassified sub-categories.

RESULTS

No difference was found in the rate of inappropriate and unnecessary notes from the original study (71.45%) to the present-day sample (71.64%), nor when comparing current V10.6 (71.28%) to current V2017071 (72.00%). A 3.23% lower note population rate for V2017071 did reduce the normalized rate of inappropriate and unnecessary notes when comparing V10.6 (11.62%) to V2017071 (9.41%). Lastly, when reclassifying V2017071 sub-categories, the rate of inappropriate and unnecessary notes increased to 89.24%.

CONCLUSIONS

For most prescriptions containing a note, the note is either inappropriate or unnecessary. This highlights a need to develop e-prescribing and pharmacy software to better utilize available schema elements and influence users to reduce the overall note population rate.

O trabalho social de conquista da “conformidade” da ABCD reflete um processo de translação para a estabilização dessa comunidade nacional antidopagem protagonizada por uma agência de Estado e, portanto, na composição de uma política pública.
Metal en la aldea: La construcción de una escena musical urbana en Costa Rica (1980-1992)
Authors: Hernández Parra Sergio Isaac
Published: July 2021

Las escenas musicales dinamizaron el paisaje cultural costarricense a finales del siglo XX. Estas formaciones se originaron gracias al auge de las juventudes, el consumo cultural y los procesos de urbanización. Además, fueron lideradas, en primera instancia, por las prácticas musicales del rock y el metal. De acuerdo con esta premisa, la presente investigación se planteó como objetivo analizar la construcción de la escena musical metal en Costa Rica entre los años 1980-1992. Con este fin, el trabajo abordará las dinámicas musicales y culturales que permitieron al metal conformarse como escena, y que conllevó a una creciente estigmatización social.
Neuroanatomy and Severity of Stroke in Patients with Type A Aortic Dissection
Authors: Fichadiya Akash , Menon Bijoy , Gregory Alex , Teleg Ericka , Appoo Jehangir
Published: July 2021

Background: Strokes are a known complication of acute type A aortic
dissection (ATAAD) repair. Understanding the neuroanatomy, mechanism,
and severity of stroke will facilitate efforts to improve prediction,
prevention, and treatment strategies. Methods: Retrospective review of
patients who sustained stroke from a consecutive series of patients
undergoing ATAAD repair. Neuroimaging was interpreted by two stroke
neurologists blinded to clinical results. Severity of stroke was
assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Residual
disability at thirty days was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale
(mRS). Results: Twenty percent (38/189) of patients undergoing repair
for ATAAD had stroke [unilateral 58%, bi-hemispheric 42%
(p=0.33)]. All strokes were ischemic. No significant lateralization
(right vs. left) was noted with unilateral strokes (26% vs 32%,
p=0.67). Etiology of stroke was embolic (58%), hypoperfusion (26%),
mixed (11%) and unknown (5%). There were no intraoperative variables
that correlated with the neuroanatomy or mechanism of stroke.
Pre-operative carotid dissection was seen in 40% (n=15), while
postoperatively 10% (n=4) sustained intracranial large vessel occlusion
(LVO). Strokes were moderate or severe (NIHSS ≥ 9) in 97% of cases,
with 66% incidence of moderate residual disability (mRS ≥ 3) at one
month postoperatively. Conclusions: Stroke associated with ATAAD is
heterogeneous in etiology and location. Most strokes are severe on
detection and result in significant residual disability. One in 10
strokes are due to LVO amenable to endovascular treatment. Future trials
may evaluate the role for early neuroimaging and treatment of incident
stroke given modern advancements in endovascular stroke therapy.
Poljsko javno mišljenje o nastanku Kraljevstva Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca 1918.
Authors: Dymarski Mirosław
Published: July 2021

Poljska javnost bila je zainteresirana za zbivanja među Južnim Slavenima. Nastanak Kraljevstva Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca poljski tisak tretirao je kao prirodno pravo malih naroda na samoodređenje. Sa simpatijama su promatrana nastojanja Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba. Nije to, naravno, bila tema prvih stranica novina budući da se u tom trenutku obnavljala i sama Poljska. No poljska je javnost bila upoznata s djelatnošću glavnih slovenskih, hrvatskih i srpskih političara, bili su joj poznati problemi njihove borbe s Talijanima oko granica, a izražavane su i bojazni o jedinstvu države katolika, pravoslavaca i muslimana. Nije favorizirana nijedna strana. Često su se koristili pojmovi Jugoslavija i Jugoslaveni, i to još i prije negoli je došlo do ujedinjenja Slovenaca, Hrvata i Srba.

Rising Global Inflation and Consumer Prices in the People's Republic of China
Authors:   Asian Development Bank
Published: July 2021

Although global inflation and commodity prices are on the rise, spillovers to consumer price inflation in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) are expected to be limited. Consumer price inflation in the PRC has been driven mainly by domestic factors during the past decade, while commodity price shocks that led to higher producer costs hardly affected consumer prices. Reasons for these developments include a consumer basket of domestic products, anchored inflation expectations, and system buffers to absorb commodity price shocks. Though contagion risks of higher global inflation and commodity prices to inflation seem limited, possible transmission channels include further rising commodity prices and a shift in inflation expectations in the PRC. This note aims at providing policy recommendations on minimizing inflation transmission channels and containing inflationary expectations.
On the efficiency of energy storage systems - the influence of the exchanged power and the penalty of the auxiliaries
Authors: Rufer Alfred
Published: July 2021

Storage is an important domain of the energy sector, with its traditional,
classical solutions for smaller and larger amounts of energy. Energy storage
has become of higher importance in relation with the development of
alternative energy sources, leading to the development of new technologies.
The energy efficiency of the storage means is an important parameter, being
often not considered in the conception and design of the applications. For
the evaluation of the energetic performance of a storage device, a
well-adapted tool has been proposed, namely ?The Theory of Ragone Plots?.
This tool sets in evidence in what way the effectively recoverable energy
amount of a device is depending on the power level of the charge/discharge
process. Further, the taking into account of the power needed for the
auxiliary equipment of a storage system like the circulation pumps of a flow
battery, the vacuum pumps of a flywheel or the forced cooling of a battery
can lead to a globally negative value of the efficiency.

Structure and electrical properties of cerium doped bismuth barium titanate
Ba1-xCexBi8Ti7O27 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0,2 and 0.3) ceramics were
investigated. X-ray diffraction revealed that the ceramic samples are of
single stable phase. The ceramics possess typical plate-like structure with
obvious decrease in the grain size with increasing Ce-doping amount. The
dielectric properties of the materials show relaxor behaviour. Furthermore,
the total resistance increase was observed with Ce-doping and the doped
samples show good insulation properties. The Ba0.9Ce0.1Bi8Ti7O27 ceramics
has the best piezoelectric performance (d33 = 20.6 pC/N) in contrast to that
of the undoped BaBi8Ti7O27 ceramics (d33 = 6.7 pC/N), which is substantially
enhanced piezoelectric performance of the material by more than three times.

In this paper, NiZnCo ferrite was produced by solid state synthesis,
calcination at 1000?C and sintering at 1250?C in air atmosphere. The
microstructure and phases of the sintered sample were analysed by scanning
electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The magnetic
properties of the ferrite were evaluated by magnetization and
magnetostriction measurements. The complex magnetic permeability and complex
permittivity were also measured between 1MHz-12GHz and the reflection loss
(RL) was calculated in the 100MHz-12GHz frequency range. The results show
that the ferrite sample presents magnetostrictive behaviour and a saturation
magnetization of 71 Am2/kg. Complex permittivity measurements indicate that
the material has dielectric behaviour in the whole frequency range studied,
with "? varying between 7-40, and magnetic behaviour in frequencies between
1MHz-5GHz. The minimum RL was found at frequencies between 2.4-3.3GHz and
the calculated RL value for a thickness of 3mm was lower than ?10 dB in
frequencies between 2.3-7.3GHz. These results indicate potential application
as microwave absorber in the S band.

Published: July 2021

Lightweight corundum-mullite thermal insulation materials were successfully
prepared by microwave sintering at low temperature. The effects of sintering
temperatures, PMMA microspheres and SiC particles on structure and
properties of as-prepared corundum-mullite materials were investigated. The
SiC became a hot spot under the action of microwave field, and these local
high temperature areas promoted the formation and growth of mullite
whiskers. The PMMA microspheres were burn out, leaving pores which could
provide space for the growth of mullite whiskers. It was found that the
optimal sintering temperature was 1400?C and corresponding porosity,
density and bending strength of the samples were 71.2%, 0.99 g/cm3 and
3.85MPa, respectively. The thermal conductivity was from 0.201 to
0.313W/(m?K) between 30?C and 950?C. This work demonstrated that
lightweight corundum-mullite materials with low density, high porosity, good
thermal shock resistance and excellent thermal insulation properties could
be successfully prepared by microwave sintering.

Authors: Meng Huaxing , Chen Zhiwu , Lu Zhenya , Wang Xin , Fu Xiaoyi
Published: July 2021

Monodispersed tetragonal barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanopowders were
synthesized by a convenient hydrothermal route at a low temperature of 200?C in only 24 h. The key point of this method is to promote the generation
of ultrafine titanium hydroxide precipitation precursors with the help of
absolute ethyl alcohol and ammonia solution during the hydrolysis of
Ti(OC4H9)4. The results of X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra show that the
as-prepared BaTiO3 nanopowders possess tetragonal-dominant structure. The
synthesized tetragonal BaTiO3 nanopowders exhibit relatively uniform size
and good dispersity, with the average particle size of 96.1 nm and a
tetragonality of 1.0073, which enable broad application prospects in the
field of multilayer ceramic capacitors.
Cyclic fatigue behaviour of hydrothermally aged 3Y-TZP ceramics in 4-point bending tests
Authors: Souza Renato , Duarte Roberto , Alves Manuel , Daguano Juliana , dos Santos , Strecker Kurt
Published: July 2021

Fatigue is one of the most important properties to be considered in ceramic
dental implants due to cyclic mechanical stresses arising from the chewing
process. In this work, the fatigue behaviour of hydrothermally degraded
ZrO2-based ceramics stabilized with 3mol% Y2O3 (3Y-TZP) was studied in
4-point bending tests. Samples of 3Y-TZP were compacted (100MPa), sintered
at 1475 ?C for 2 h, polished and hydrothermally degraded in an autoclave as
described in the ISO-13356 standard. The samples were characterized by their
relative density, crystalline phase composition, microstructure and surface
roughness. The highly dense (>99.6%TD) sintered 3Y-TZP ceramics has only
tetragonal t-ZrO2 phase, even after hydrothermal ageing. Furthermore, the
ceramic materials presented a Vickers hardness of 12.7?0.2GPa, a fracture
toughness of 7.1?0.3MPa?m1/2 and a 4-point bending strength of 940.1?67MPa.
Based on the bending test results 5 different stress levels for the fatigue
tests were selected and conducted by cyclic 4-point bending obtaining the
S-N curve. Weibull statistics was used for the statistical analysis. The
fatigue tests indicate that the limit of fatigue resistance of this 3Y-TZP
ceramics is around 550MPa, i.e. higher than the limits established in the
ISO-13356 standard for the use of Y-TZP ceramics for the manufacture of
implants. The fatigue behaviour of the investigated 3Y-TZP ceramics was
related to the toughening mechanisms acting in Y-TZP ceramics, such as
transformation toughening related to t?m phase transformation and
microcracking.
Religiosity in Serbia and other religiously homogeneous European societies: A comparative perspective
Authors: Blagojevic Mirko , Jovanovic-Ajzenhamer Natasa
Published: July 2021

Using the latest European Social Survey (ESS) data, the authors of the study
examined the current religious composition of Serbia, and compared the
empirical data obtained in Serbia with the ones acquired in other
religiously homogeneous European societies. In the first part of the study,
the data obtained in the ESS research in 2018 were observed in light of the
historical continuum of religion development in Serbia since the First World
War. In the second part of the study, the authors applied Grace Davie?s
model and a comparative model to compare Serbia with nine religiously
homogeneous societies where the ESS research had also been conducted in
2018. This structure of the paper accomplishes a double objective and
scientific contribution. On the one hand, an insight into the current state
of religiosity in Serbia is obtained, and on the other hand, a theoretical
framework previously used for Western-European societies is applied to
Orthodox countries (including Serbia). The authors suggest the following
main hypotheses: the stabilisation of religious composition is currently
underway; there is a discrepancy between religious and denominational
declaration and religious practices; and the theoretical framework defined
by Davie can be applied in the case of Serbia.

Published: July 2021

Leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora beticola Sacc. is the most destructive foliar disease of beet. Cercospora leaf spot is controlled
primarily by fungicides because the non-chemical alternatives do not provide
commercially viable control. One of the ways of reducing chemical
application is the use of different essential oils (EOs) or antagonistic
plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPB). This study evaluates several
EOs and PGPB belonging to Pseudomonas chlororaphis as possible control
agents of this pathogen. Antifungal properties were determined by in vitro
microdilution method against five C. beticola monosporial isolates
originated from the locality Brus, Serbia (53?53? N, 21?04?E and 429 m above
sea level) using EOs from medicinal plants: Turkish pickling herb (Echinophora tenuifolia), oregano (Origanum vulgare), basil (Ocimum basilicum),
and myrtle (Myrtus communis) obtained by a hydro-distillation method. All
tested oils displayed some antifungal activity against the fungal isolates.
Origanum vulgare EO demonstrated the strongest antifungal activity (MIC -
0.0055?0.0051mg/mL), Ocimum basilicum slightly lower (MIC -
0.075?0.045mg/mL), followed by Myrtus communis (MIC - 0.775?0.045 mg/ mL)
and Echinophora tenuifolia (MIC - 7.75?4.5 mg/mL). Five tested P.
chlororaphis strains exhibited some antagonistic effect against C.
beticola. Overnight culture (ONC) of P. chlororaphis strain E65 induced the
highest percentage of inhibition (75.8%), followed by N3 (72.0%). A
cell-free supernatant (CFS) and the CFS treated with EDTA (CFS-EDTA) of
these strains showed similar inhibition of 60.2 and 56.0%, and both strains
suppressed C. beticola growth. P. chlororaphis strains M1 and K113 also
reduced the fungal growth by 67-70% using ONC and between 48-57% using
different CFS fractions. The strains L1 and B25 caused inhibition of 60%
using ONC and 50% by CFS. The lowest inhibition (~40%) by CFS-EDTA and
heat-treated cell-free supernatant (HT-CFS) was recorded for B25, which was
used as a reference strain. The tested isolates of C. beticola were
susceptible to all selected essential oils and P. chlororaphis strains
E25, N3, M1, and K113 in vitro, making them a promising non-chemical control
agent. It is recommended that these findings should be tested in field
conditions.

Published: July 2021

Objectives

To compare the root resorption resulting from miniscrew-supported maxillary posterior dentoalveolar intrusion using two different force magnitudes.

Materials and Methods

Adult patients with skeletal open bite, indicated for maxillary posterior dentoalveolar intrusion, were recruited and randomly assigned to the comparison or intervention groups. The comparison group involved applying 200 g of intrusive force per segment, which measured 20 g per root, while this force was 400 g per segment in the intervention group, measuring 40 g per root.

Results

Twenty participants were included in the final analysis after 2 patients dropped out, 1 in each group, to end up with 10 subjects (200 roots) per group. There was statistically significant root resorption of 0.84 ± 0.96 mm and 0.93 ± 1.00 mm in the comparison and the intervention groups, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups.

Conclusions

Root resorption inevitably took place in association with orthodontic intrusion. However, increasing the magnitude of the intrusive force did not increase the amount of root resorption, either statistically or clinically.
