Мета дослідження. Оцінити ефективність профілактики карієсу зубів у дітей із різними рівнями резистентності емалі. Методи дослідження. Під спостереженням знаходилися 154 дитини 6–7-річного віку. Із них 78 дітей склали основну групу (25 дітей із карієсрезистентною емаллю, 27 – з умовнорезистентною та 26 – із карієссприйнятливою) та 76 дітей – групу порівняння (25 дітей із карієсрезистентною емаллю, 25 – з умовнорезистентною та 26 – із карієссприйнятливою). Комплекс карієспрофілактичних заходів, який отримували діти основної групи, містив: гігієнічне навчання та виховання дітей та їхніх батьків; професійну гігієну порожнини рота з наступним покриттям зубів фторвмісним лаком; контроль за якістю гігієни порожнини рота з використанням рідини або таблеток Mira-2-Tone для візуалізації зубного нальоту вдома та під час візиту до стоматолога; диференційоване застосування засобів екзогенної профілактики. Дітям групи порівняння проводили професійну гігієну порожнини рота двічі на рік, гігієнічне навчання та виховання, рекомендували застосовувати фторвмісні зубні пасти. Результати дослідження. Проведення профілактичних заходів упродовж 12 місяців сприяло достовірному зниженню значень ТЕР у дітей основної групи з емаллю, резистентною до карієсу на 17,26%, з умовнорезистентною – на 6,41% та карієссприйнятливою емаллю – на 38,46%. Через 24 місяці у дітей із карієсрезистентною емаллю ТЕР знизився на 28,63%, з умовнорезистентною – на 26,75%. Найбільшого підвищення резистентності емалі вдалося досягнути в дітей із карієссприйнятливою емаллю (на 61,70%). Мінералізувальний потенціал ротової рідини в дітей основної групи через 12 місяців спостереження зріс на 6,82%, а через 24 місяці – на 11,80%. Найбільш виражені зміни МПРР ротової рідини під дією профілактичних заходів установлено у осіб із карієссприйнятливою емаллю. Так, за 12 місяців спостереження за дітьми МПРР зростає на 38,99%, а за 24 місяці – на 45,13%. Натомість у дітей групи порівняння значення цього показника майже не змінюється. Висновки. Результати дослідження (як через 12 місяців, так і через 24) підтвердили ефективність запропонованих профілактичних заходів підвищенням рівня резистентності емалі: зниженням показника ТЕР у дітей із карієссприйнятливою емаллю з 6,84±0,21 бала до 4,23±0,19 бала, підвищенням МПРР та редукцією приросту інтенсивності карієсу на 57,89% за період 12 місяців і 62,80% за період 24 місяці спостереження, покращенням гігієнічного стану порожнини рота.

Мета дослідження. Вивчення частоти стоматологічної ятрогенії в поліетіології міофасціального синдрому обличчя та больової дисфункції СНЩС. Методи дослідження. Проаналізовано анамнестичні дані 97 пацієнтів, які звернулися до консультаційного кабінету відділення щелепно-лицьової хірургії та отоларингології в період із січня 2020 р. до вересня 2021 р. із симптомами больової дисфункції скронево-нижньощелепного суглоба, на предмет зв’язку між проведеними стоматологічними маніпуляціями та виникненням болю в скронево-нижньощелепному суглобі. Для досягнення поставленої мети було достатньо визначення пацієнтом наявності або відсутності ятрогенії у формуванні патологічного стану як факту лікарського втручання. Наукова новизна. Розвиток медичної галузі супроводжується появою складних механізмів лікування стоматологічних захворювань. Нові лікарські маніпуляції можуть сприяти розвитку патологічних станів у деяких пацієнтів. На сучасному етапі інтерес становить дослідження ролі ятрогенії в етіології актуальної сучасної хвороби – міофасціального синдрому обличчя. Першим етапом дослідження є отримання уявлення про частоту ятрогенії серед різноманітних причин цього патологічного стану. Висновки. 40,2% досліджуваних визначають медичні маніпуляції як причину розвитку больового синдрому обличчя і СНЩС. У групі пацієнтів наймолодшого віку (27,8±7,9 років), що зверталися за допомогою вперше в термін до 1,5 міс. від початку хвороби, в 100% випадків причиною хвороби є медичні маніпуляції; у цієї групи досліджуваних більш виражені симптоми болю в суглобі локального характеру (100%). У групі пацієнтів найстаршого віку (55,2±9,8 років) і з хронічним перебігом хвороби визначається найменший показник ятрогенії хвороби – 5,9%, у цієї групи досліджуваних більш виражені симптоми болю в обличчі (82,3%), м’язах (82,3%) і ознаки дисфункції суглоба (94,1%).

Published: December 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk optimalisasi jaringan nirkabel dari titik buta atau blind spot di lingkungan kampus AIKOM Ternate. Area-area titik buta ini membuat pengguna jaringan nirkabel (dosen, staf, dan mahasiswa) tidak nyaman dikarenakan harus mendekat ke sumber jaringan (access point (AP)) terdekat agar dapat mengakses jaringan internet ataupun intranet. Dengan optimalisasi jaringan nirkabel ini, area jangkauan jaringan nirkabel disesuikan dengan kebutuhan agar tidak ada lagi titik buta. Penggunaan aplikasi Wireless Monitoring (Wirelessmon) untuk mendeteksi area jangkauan dari setiap AP yang dipasang, yang diukur adalah receive signal strength indicator (RSSI), termasuk penentuan penggunaan kanal dari setiap AP agar tidak tumpang tindih atau overlapping dalam penggunaan kanal pada setiap AP dan data rate yang mengalami peningkatan dan penurunan menyesuaikan dengan kualitas sinyal yang diterima. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan setelah dilakukannya optimalisasi dengan memasang AP pada lima titik. Optimalisasi jaringan nirkabel pada kampus AIKOM Ternate berhasil dengan RSSI -61dBm sampai dengan -44dBm, RSSI termasuk dalam kategori sangat bagus (very good). Disarankan pengukuran RSSI menggunakan software lebih dari satu sehingga dilakukan perbandingan, melakukan perbandingan RSSI yang diterima dengan throughput yang dihasilkan pada perangkat yang berbeda, dan pengelola jaringan dapat menggunakan hasil penelitian ini akan tetapi penggunaan perangkat dengan spesifikasi yang berbeda dengan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini maka disarankan untuk melakukan pengambilan data ulang agar hasilnya maksimal.

Berita olahraga sangat diminati oleh masyarakat sekarang ini. Ini dikarenakan olahraga telah berkembang menjadi sebuah hiburan. Ada banyak berita olahraga yang ada sekarang ini yang meliputi berbagai macam cabang olahraga, dari mulai cabang olahraga yang menggunakan bola sebagai objek permainannya seperti sepakbola, sampai olahraga di arena balap otomotif seperti Formula 1. Selain itu substansi dari berita olahraga itu sendiri sangat beragam seperti berita tentang manajerial dari sebuah klub olahraga, hasil pertandingan, cedera pemain, dan lain-lain. tentunya hal yang demikian akan menyulitkan pembaca berita yang menginginkan kumpulan satu bidang pembahasan dalam berita tersebut. Tumpang tindih data terjadi dalam dokumen berita olahraga karena mencampuradukan data kalimat satu bahasan dengan data kalimat bahasan yang lainnya. Beberapa bahasan yang ada dalam berita olahraga adalah tentang manajerial, pemain, jadwal, preview, review, klasemen, statistik, juara, dan lain-lain. Hal ini menjadi masalah ketika pembaca menginginkan bahasan pada berita yang memfokuskan pada satu pembahasan tertentu. Pada penelitian ini telah dibangun sistem klasifikasi kalimat menggunakan Artificial Neural Network (ANN) dengan metode pembelajaran Backpropagation. Fitur yang digunakan yaitu frekuensi dari kemunculan suatu term dalam kalimat yang terkait dan hasil perhitungan dari sebuah term yang didistribusikan. Pengujian dari metode yang kami ajukan menunjukan akurasi mencapai 99% untuk hasil yang terbaik pada data latih dan 57% pada data uji.

Published: December 2021

Cuando en la clínica nos encontramos frente a una enferma que tenga ictericia, coluria y acolia, establecemos el diagnóstico de síndrorne coledoclano. A veces esto resulta fácil, otras veces difícil: y aun puede ser imposible. Generalmente somos consultados porque el enfermo ha tenido un dolor en el vientre, o porqué él se nota con la piel de color amarillo, o porque así lo han observado sus familiares. Es decir que lo primero que llama la atención es ese oolor amarillento; nosotros lo observamos y pensamos: ictericia. Y aquí nos encontramos ante tres posibilidades al desear establecer de qué tipo de icterlcia se trata. La ictericia puede ser prehepátloa, hepática y posthepática, o en otras palabras: hemolítica, hepatocelular o canalicular. Tratando de llegar al diagnóstico observamos la orina, que será clara en la ictericia hemolítica, oscura, colúrica, en los otros dos tipos.

This article aims to communicate several teaching and learning activities that were redesigned for biology practical courses for Universiti Malaysia Sabah’s Foundation Science students during the restriction control movement (RMO) due to the Covid-19 outbreak. When RMO has been started the closure of the university campus resulted in postponed of biology practical face-to-face sessions in the laboratory. The teaching and learning activities have been guided by the Foundation Science Biology Laboratory Manual, however, during the pandemic, the delivery approach was modified using online platforms, including video-based blog or vlog, pre-recorded video, using real-time video conferencing i.e. Google Meet, Webex, scheduled online discussions via mobile apps i.e Whatsapp, Telegram, and greater utilization of Universiti Malaysia Sabah online learning platform, SmartV3UMS. The purpose of these redesigned methodologies that are presented in this paper was mainly focusing on delivering the established practical courses’ contents to achieve the intended learning outcomes. A total of 353 students registered for these practical courses. They were divided into 16 groups, with 22 or 23 students per group. All these interventions have facilitated students to sustain their access to Foundation in Science study despite the physical engagement limitation and have opened a pathway to a new normal of science education.

Published: December 2021

The livestock industry has become the most dynamic market globally. This is being driven largely by demand due to growth in purchasing power and modern technology. With the constant improvement of the degree of livestock products trade, the market operation and structure of livestock products are also transformed. The survival and development of the livestock industry are dependent on the comprehensive strength of the whole industry chain, therefore, the study of the technology innovation, supply chain risk, and digital marketing towards the business performance of the livestock industry in Malaysia is required. Hence, the ability to conceptualize, observe and give due recognition to the possible relation amongst these variables in question by the livestock industry, perhaps could bring about an insightful engagement for the betterment of the livestock business performance. This paper does not attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of livestock markets and trends in Malaysia or elsewhere in developing countries. On the basis of this, the relationship between technology innovation, supply chain risk, digital marketing, and livestock industry performance is used in this paper, which improves the whole performance of the livestock industry and enhances international competitiveness.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE PROCESSES AND HOTELS' INFORMATION QUALITY: EVIDENCE FROM MALAYSIA
Authors: Alshammakh Akram Mufareh , Azmin Adi Anuar
Published: December 2021

The information quality (IQ) and the tools used to generate it such as competitive intelligence (CI) are the most critical competitive competencies for businesses today, particularly in the tourism and hotel sectors. However, there is still ambiguity about the impact of each phase of the competitive-intelligence process (CIP) on IQ, particularly in the hotel industry in a developing country such as Malaysia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to detect the level of IQ resulting from CIP in Malaysian hotels, as well as to investigate the impact of each phase of CIP (planning and focus, gathering, analysis, and communication) on IQ (contextual and representational) of Malaysian hotels. A quantitative research design was adopted in this study. To collect the data required to analyse the study's hypothesised model, 505 questionnaires were distributed to marketing managers at Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) member hotels, yielding a total of 184 analysable questionnaires with a response rate of 34.44 percent. The research data were analysed using structural equation modelling with partial least squares (SEM-PLS). Despite that half of the responding hotels practiced CI informally, the study found that the level of IQ resulting from CIP was high. Furthermore, the results indicate that the planning and focus, gathering, and analysis phases of CIP had a positive and significant impact on hotels' IQ, while the communication phase had a slight negative but insignificant impact on hotels' IQ. Additionally, the results show that the analysis phase is the most relevant, followed by the gathering phase, and finally the planning and focus phases phase. These findings enrich those in positions of power like owners, managers, and practitioners, as well as academicians, with greater knowledge of the relationship and influence of CIP on firms' IQ, particularly for hospitality and tourism firms.
THE INFLUENCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND PERSUASION IN BIM-FM INTEGRATION AT THE EARLY PHASE OF A BIM PROJECT
Authors: Ariffin Erni Yusnida , Mustafa Nur Emma , Sapri Maimunah
Published: December 2021

Traditionally, Facility Managers (FM) have often been handed over large numbers of files (hard and soft copies) consisting of among others drawings, specifications, operation and maintenance manuals together with product data sheets in order for them to carry out their tasks in managing facilities. This practice may indicate that information exchange between the AEC and FM phases is still fragmented. The FM phase of the construction project life cycle remains the most disconnected from the rest of the cycle. Therefore, the integration of FM at the early phase of BIM project is expected to fully engage BIM technology and bring potential significant value to assets and estates. This paper is part of a research that aims to identify the influence of knowledge and persuasion on deciding whether to adopt or reject BIM-FM integration at the early phase of BIM. Rogers' Theory of Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) has been applied to support the formation of the conceptual framework. Connecting the organisational characteristics associated with adoption innovation literature with the factors influencing the integration process (innovation characteristics, adopter characteristics, internal and external environment characteristics) brings interesting research potential that is not commonly investigated. This paper aims to have a relatively comprehensive view of the factors that can influence the adoption or rejection of BIM-FM integration at the early stage of the decision phase.

Published: December 2021

OHSMS has become the main part of the establishment’s lifeline and a prerequisite for its stability in the 21st century. There is a growing need for OHSMS, in its ability to solve occupational accidents and also to develop a robust relationship among the stakeholders. The mission of OHSMS has not been followed in the Nigerian construction industry. The study, therefore, explores the barriers to the development of OHSMS in the Nigerian construction industry. The study adopted a literature review of OHSMS and thereafter, 300 structured questionnaires were administered to the construction professionals in the built environment of the Nigerian nation’s Capital-Abuja. 247 of the administered questionnaires were returned, considered for the analysis of the study. The data were analysed with SPSS and excel. The findings of the study indicate that the lack of commitment of the government, inefficient regulatory authorities, and lack of expertise in the OHS activities are the major barriers to the development of OHSMS. The study recommends collaborative efforts from the construction organizations, employees, and construction professionals to support the government on the OHSMS.

Published: December 2021

Geoinformation is a surveying and mapping field where topography and details on the ground are spatially mapped. The point cloud is one of the data types that is used for measurement and visualisation of Earth features mapping. Point cloud could come from a different source such as terrestrial laser scanned or photogrammetry. The concepts of terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetry surveying are elaborated in this paper. This paper also presents the method used for point cloud registration; Iterative Closest Point (ICP) and Feature Extraction and Matching (FEM) and the accuracy of laser scanned, and photogrammetric point cloud based on the previous experiments. Experimental analysis conducted in the previous study shows an impressive result on laser scanned point cloud with very mínimum errors compared to photogrammetric point cloud.

Height or depth on the surface of the Earth is the crucial element in the three-dimensional coordinate system. Commonly, the height or depth value will denote a particular reference surface known as a vertical datum. Conventionally, the vertical datum is divided into two major categories which are Geoid/ Mean Sea Level and Lowest Astronomical Tide. This paper is an effort to review the applications of geodetic vertical datum from American, Australia, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Peninsular Malaysia. An overview of geodetic vertical datum will be summarised to support the future application. Thus, a review consisting of a data gathering, data input, and analysis approach in vertical datum applications will be discussed and outlined. This initiative is significant for the planning and advancement of future vertical datum development in Malaysia.

Published: December 2021

A detailed understanding of wind characteristics is very important for offshore wind energy development. A 26 years of wind speed data (1993-2018) were retrieved using Radar Altimeter Database System (RADS) to assess the potentiality of offshore wind energy in Terengganu waters. Seasonal assessment and wind energy density derivation was carried out to choose the potential location for wind energy development. This study highlights the multi-criteria site suitability analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and is supported by the geographical information system (GIS) by developing a suitability map. The site suitability analysis considered a few criteria, such as seasonal assessment, physical, environmental, and wind resources. Theoretically, the Terengganu area possessed strong wind during the Northeast monsoon with an average of 3.46m/s and experienced up to 6 m/s during this monsoon. For offshore areas, which is more than 50km from the coastline, Terengganu waters experienced a maximum of wind speed more than 5m/s and the average wind power density varied from 40W/m2 to 60W/m2. While Tenggol Island possessed a maximum wind speed between 3m/s to 5m/s and produce up to 40W/m2 of average wind energy density. From the suitability analysis, a few areas are identified as the potential location with an optimum resource of wind energy. Even though, Malaysia is located at low wind area, this research will help organisation or governments to plan suitable technology and policy for harvesting wind energy.

Published: December 2021

Gravity data and computing gravity anomalies are regarded as vital for both geophysics and physical geodesy fields. The mountainous areas of Iraq are characterized by the lack of regional gravity data because gravity surveys are rarely performed in the past four decades due to the Iraq-Iran war and the internal unstable political situation of this particular region. In addition, the formal map of the available terrestrial gravity which was published by the French Database of Bureau Gravimetrique International (International Gravimetric Bureau-in English) (BGI), introduces Iraq and the study area as a remote area and in white color because of the unavailability of gravity data. However, a dense and local (not regional) gravity data is available which was conducted by geophysics researchers 13 years ago. Therefore, the regional gravity survey of 160 gravity points was performed by the authors at an average 11 km apart, which was covers the whole area of Sulaymaniyah Governorate (part of the mountainous areas of Iraq). In spite of Although the risk of mine fields within the study area, suitable safe routes as well as a helicopter was used for the gravity survey of several points on the top of mountains. The survey was conducted via Lacoste and Romberg geodetic gravimeter and GPS handheld. The objective of the study is to determine and map the gravity anomalies for the entire study area, the data of which would assist different geosciences applications.

Examination of text's lexis using a Polish dictionary
Authors: Voitovych Roman , Łukasik Edyta
Published: December 2021

This paper presents an approach to compare and classify books written in the Polish language by comparing their lexis fields. Books can be classified by their features, such as literature type, literary genre, style, author, etc. Using a preassembled dictionary and Jaccard index, we managed to prove a compact hypothesis concerning similar books. Further analysis with the PAM clustering algorithm presented a lexical connection between books of the same type or author. Overall static behaviour of similarities of any particular field on one side and some anomalous tendencies in other cases suggest that recognition of other features is possible. The method presented in this article allows drawing conclusions regarding the connection between any arbitrary books based solely on their vocabulary.

Published: December 2021

The paper considers the problem of using images from SAR satellites for the identification of seagoing vessels. It describes the main functions of software and technological complex of the automated monitoring. The system is operated with utilizing space images of SAR satellites Sentinel 1A (B). The algorithmic part, which implements the detection on the sea surface the marks associated with ships, is described in details. To reduce the impact of speckle-noise, the image is pre-processed with the improved Lee-filter. Further processing lies in using an adaptive threshold algorithm that provides detection for each local background fragment of the image the unusually bright pixels, at the same time the algorithm provides a constant probability of error. By solving a nonlinear equation, for each position of the background window the algorithm finds the threshold brightness value and then all pixels above this value are considered vessels. In advance the evaluation of parameters of statistical distribution of pixels’ brightness is performed for each position of the background window. K-mean is used for such distribution. The selected bright pixels are combined into compact groups and their size and coordinates are being determined. The obtained results are compared with the data of the AIS, Automatic Identification System of ships, and the results are displayed on a cartographic basis.

Published: December 2021

Technological processes differ from each other. Accordingly, the devices on which these technological processes are implemented also differ. As a rule, the optimal solution is to select the right machine or device for each process. This facilitates the entire process even in the event of a breakdown of any device on the production line. Such a machine can be replaced by another machine, manual labor, or the operation can be completely excluded. And if all technological operations are carried out on one machine, then its failure will lead to a complete stop of the entire technological process. The issue of processing the Caucasian rhododendron is considered and an innovative technology is presented, according to which its leaves are shock-frozen, crushed, freeze-dried and the product gets a light smoke aroma. It is shown that the use of different devices for each operation of this technological process can lead to microbiological clogging of raw materials, significant loss of cold and complicate the design of all equipment. Therefore, this process is best carried out in one universal device. A schematic diagram of a new device for processing rhododendron is presented, which ensures all technological operations (shock freezing, frozen leaf grinding, freeze-drying and giving the final product smoke aroma and bitter taste) without contact of the raw material with ambient air.
