Characterization of surface roughness of new nanophotonic soft contact lenses using lacunarity and AFM method
Authors: Mitrovic Aleksandra , Bojovic Bozica , Stamenkovic Dragomir , Popovic Dejana
Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to develop new soft contact lens (SCL) materials which would, after recommended and existing machining processes, improve surface roughness. Nanomaterials (fullerene, fullerol and methformin hydroxylate fullerene) were incorporated into commercial material for SCL (SL38) based on PHEMA, which were derived by the technology in the production lab of the company Soleko (Milan, Italy). Nanophotonic SCLs (SL38-A, SL38-B, SL38-C, respectively) were produced in the company Optix (Belgrade, Serbia) from the obtained materials. For the surface characterization of SCLs, AFM analysis and lacunarity method were performed. The results showed that for the SL38-B average roughness value is lower than those of SL38-A and SL38. The topography parameters of SL38-C were between the parameters of SL38-A and SL38-B. Lacunarity analysis of AFM images confirmed that SCLs surface state should belong to either group of adequate (slanted p-diagram) or inadequate (contorted p-diagram) roughness concerning tear film stability. Nanophotonic SCL SL38-C exibits more acceptable performance considering SCL surface functional behavior as compared to other SCLs. The positive result of incorporating nanomaterials into basic material for SCL is better quality of the nanophotonic SCLs surfaces. On the bases of these experiments, the assumption that incorporation of fullerene derivate will not increase surface roughness parameters is confirmed.
Shaping national memory: The beginning of memorizing Stevan Stojanovic Mokranjac in Serbian music (1919-1923)
Authors: Milanovic Biljana
Published: March 2018

The organization of musical life of Belgrade as the capital of the newly
founded Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was characterized by efforts
towards a material, economic and cultural consolidation of the city after a
war disaster; thus the mapping of continuity with pre-war traditions acquired
a special significance. The first joint performance of Belgrade choirs in
peacetime conditions, organised by the Belgrade Choral Society (1919) and
dedicated exclusively to Mokranjac?s output testified to that effect. Soon
there followed four similar events (1922- 1923), and then a manifestation of
the transfer of Mokranjac?s remains from Skopje to Belgrade (1923). The aim
of this article is to examine these events as the first, though belated (due
to war circumstances) cases of memorizing Mokranjac after his death in 1914.
This research has taken into account the processes of canonization of
Mokranjac that had begun even during his lifetime, and the critical
examination of the canon is complemented by theoretical elements from memory
studies, because these events are about a (re)interpretation of the canon of
national art music through strategies of memorialization. Concerts and
narratives that are directly related to them are marked as artistic memorials
to Mokranjac; afterwards, I analyzed the commemoration ceremony itself.
Considering the results of the analysis, I concluded that these were two
types of memorizing Mokranjac, one of which was in the domain of the
professional music elite, while the other one acquired the proportions of the
national-state event. Accordingly, they also offered two kinds of national
memory. On the one hand, the version presented by the representatives of the
elite contributed to the canonization of Mokranjac and the creation of
national memory within the dominant group in the field of music which,
through its narrative about Mokranjac, expressed its own aesthetic
orientation and reinforced its social positions. On the other hand, the mass
gathering of various representatives of the state, civil institutions and
citizens pointed to the apposite narratives of glorifying Mokranjac, while
loading the ideology of the official state apparatus and putting memories of
Mokranjac into desirable Yugoslav frameworks.

Effect of Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Cement Dispensing/Mixing Methods on Mechanical Properties
Authors: Sulaiman TA , Abdulmajeed AA , Altitinchi A , Ahmed SN , Donovan TE
Published: March 2018

Statement of the Problem:

Resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGIs) are often used for luting indirect restorations. Hand-mixing traditional cements demands significant time and may be technique sensitive. Efforts have been made by manufacturers to introduce the same cement using different dispensing/mixing methods. It is not known what effects these changes may have on the mechanical properties of the dental cement.

Purpose:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties (diametral tensile strength [DTS], compressive strength [CS], and fracture toughness [FT]) of RMGIs with different dispensing/mixing systems.

Methods and Materials:

The RMGI specimens (n=14)—RelyX Luting (hand mix), RelyX Luting Plus (clicker–hand mix), RelyX Luting Plus (automix) (3M ESPE), GC Fuji PLUS (capsule-automix), and GC FujiCEM 2 (automix) (GC)—were prepared for each mechanical test and examined after thermocycling (n=7/subgroup) for 20,000 cycles to the following: DTS, CS (ISO 9917-1) and FT (ISO standard 6872; Single-edge V-notched beam method). Specimens were mounted and loaded with a universal testing machine until failure occurred. Two-/one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey honestly significantly different post hoc test was used to analyze data for statistical significance (p<0.05).

Results:

The interaction effect of both dispensing/mixing method and thermocycling was significant only for the CS test of the GC group (p<0.05). The different dispensing/mixing methods had no effect on the DTS of the tested cements. The CS of GC Fuji PLUS was significantly higher than that of the automix version (p<0.05). The FT decreased significantly when switching from RelyX (hand mix) to RelyX Luting Plus (clicker–hand mix) and to RelyX Luting Plus (automix) (p<0.05). Except in the case of the DTS of the GC group and the CS of GC Fuji PLUS, thermocycling had a significant effect reducing the mechanical properties of the RMGI cements (p<0.05).

Conclusions:

Introducing alternative dispensing/mixing methods for mixing RMGIs to reduce time and technique sensitivity may affect mechanical properties and is brand dependent.
Effect of Various Bleaching Agents on the Surface Composition and Bond Strength of a Calcium Silicate-based Cement
Authors: Kucukkaya Eren S , Aksel H , Uyanık O , Nagas E
Published: March 2018

This study aimed to evaluate the morphological and elemental changes that occur on the surface of calcium silicate–based cement (CSC) and to analyze the bond strength of composite resin to CSC after application of various bleaching agents. One hundred twenty-five CSC blocks (Biodentine) were prepared and randomly divided into five groups according to the bleaching agent applied over the material surface (n=25): SP-DW (sodium perborate–distilled water mixture), SP-HP (sodium perborate–3% hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] mixture), CP (37% carbamide peroxide gel), HP (35% H2O2 gel), and a control group (no bleaching agent). After 1 week, scanning electron microscopy provided an analysis of the surface morphology and elemental composition for 10 specimens from each group. Composite resin was placed at the center of each cement surface in the remaining specimens (n=15). A universal testing machine determined shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture patterns were identified with a dental operating microscope. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests. The cement surface in the CP and HP groups presented changes in structure and elemental distribution compared with the remaining groups. The former groups exhibited a decrease in the calcium level and an increase in the silicon level and presented significantly fewer SBS values than the remaining groups (p<0.05). Most failures were adhesive in the CP and HP groups, while they were predominantly cohesive in the remaining groups. The bleaching agents with higher concentration induced deterioration of the cement surface and negatively affected the bond strength of the composite resin to CSC. The use of CSC is recommended as a cervical barrier when intracoronal bleaching is performed with a mixture of sodium perborate with water or 3% H2O2.

Published: March 2018

It was possible to restore the shape and function of a severely ankylosed tooth by fabricating a ceramic crown for placement on a resin reconstruction supported by mini fiberglass posts. By increasing the retention of the morphological reconstruction for the future support of indirect restorations, cementable intradentinal fiberglass posts enhance the longevity of these restorations. Ultimately, all proposals that seek to improve the long-term prognosis of restorations on ankylosed teeth, especially severely impacted ones, are of extreme clinical relevance.

Published: March 2018

In this laboratory study, a composite resin was stained to a visibly discernible level using both coffee and red wine over 14 days (change was considered clinically noticeable and significant when ΔEab*≥2.7). Color change was measured at one, three, seven, and 14 days of staining. Although the nature of color change was different for the two staining solutions, the overall degree of staining (ΔEab*) rendered by either coffee or wine at each time interval was not significantly different (p≥0.05). Four whitening protocols were applied to stained composites. Treatment included applications of distilled water (control), Crest Pro-Health [HD] toothpaste, Crest Whitestrips, Opalescence PF bleach (15%), and application of a fine pumice polishing (Preppies). HD toothpaste and Whitestrips were applied daily for 21 days, Opalescence was applied daily for 10 days, and polishing was applied once. Each of the whitening products, applied in a manner simulating at-home or in-office treatment, was effective in producing color improvements (lightening) over controls (p<0.05), but none of the four treatments produced lightening that was significantly different from the other treatments (p≥0.05). A comparison of final composite color with that measured at baseline showed that Opalescence returned composite color to an acceptable level following exposure to both staining solutions (ΔEab*<2.7), Whitestrips returned color close to baseline for wine-stained composites, and HD paste and polishing permitted residual stain to remain (ΔEab*≥2.7).

Proyección exterior, hispanoamericanismo y regeneración nacional en la península Ibérica en el siglo XIX
Authors: Rina Simón César
Published: March 2018

Las invasiones napoleónicas y la pérdida de las colonias americanas propiciaron un intenso debate entre las élites políticas y culturales portuguesas y españolas en torno a la decadencia nacional. La articulación de narrativas decadentistas respondió a dos modelos no excluyentes. Por un lado, la construcción nacional del estado liberal a partir de unos imaginarios que encontraron en la práctica historiográfica un baluarte de caracterización étnica y una fuente explicativa de la decadencia. Por otro, la formulación de proyecciones exteriores que tomaron como marco geográfico de regeneración el espacio ibérico, mediterráneo, europeo o hispanoamericano. De esta forma, queremos destacar la importancia que tuvieron estos horizontes de expectativas en la definición de los marcos culturales nacionales de España y Portugal en el siglo xix. Así mismo, cuestionamos el tópico historiográfico que ha explicado la proyección americana del pensamiento político español a partir de los “desastres” coloniales. Estos proyectos, lejos de originarse en las sendas crisis de 1890 y 1898, tienen un vasto recorrido argumentativo a lo largo del ochocientos.
El análisis de la pobreza y la campaña contra la mendicidad en la Ciudad de México, 1929-1931
Authors: Lorenzo Río María Dolores
Published: March 2018

En este artículo, se exploran las clasificaciones, los estigmas, los valores y las normas que definieron la tipología de la pobreza urbana y que articularon la política social hacia los mendigos en la Ciudad de México, entre 1929 y 1931. La historia de las políticas sociales ha centrado su atención, sobre todo, en los destinatarios de la seguridad social (trabajadores, madres-hijos, huérfanos), y son escasas las referencias respecto de los pobres desvalidos, que fueron merecedores de las políticas de protección social en la posrevolución. Con base en los documentos y publicaciones respecto de estudio de la mendicidad, que elaboraron Eyler Simpson y Ramón Beteta por disposición de la Beneficencia Pública, planteo la manera en que se fue diferenciando la asistencia social destinada hacia los considerados desvalidos, de la seguridad social, que debía otorgarse por derecho a los trabajadores.

Má rekja mun á lesskilningi kynjanna til mismikillar þátttöku í skólastarfi?

Published: March 2018

Kynjamunur á lesskilningi, þar sem stúlkur standa sig betur en drengir, er nokkuð þekktur víða um heim. Einnig er vitað að virk þátttaka stúlkna í skólastarfi er meiri en drengja en tengsl virkrar þátttöku í skólastarfi og lesskilnings eru hins vegar minna þekkt. Aukin þekking á þessu sviði getur átt þátt í að bæta lesskilning ungmenna auk þess að draga úr þeim kynjamun sem fram kemur á lesskilningi. Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að kanna (1) hvort kynjamunur kæmi fram á lesskilningi og virkri þátttöku í skólastarfi, (2) að hve miklu leyti kynjamunur á virkri þátttöku í skólastarfi geti skýrt kynjamun á lesskilningi (miðlunartilgáta) og (3) hvort virk þátttaka í skólastarfi skipti jafn miklu máli fyrir drengi og stúlkur þegar kemur að árangri í lesskilningi (tilgáta um mismunandi áhrif). Rannsóknin er byggð á gögnum úr langtímarannsókninni Þróun sjálfstjórnunar og farsæll þroski ungmenna á Íslandi. Alls tók 561 nemandi þátt. Mæling á virkri þátttöku í skólastarfi fór fram við upphaf 9. bekkjar og notaðar voru niðurstöður sömu nemenda úr lesskilningshluta samræmdra prófa í íslensku við upphaf 10. bekkjar. Formgerðargreining var notuð til að prófa tilgátur rannsóknarinnar. Drengir komu verr út úr lesskilningsprófum og sýndu minni virka þátttöku í skólastarfi en stúlkur. Virk þátttaka miðlaði að fullu áhrifum kyns á lesskilning og ekki fannst greinanlegur munur á forspá virkrar þátttöku í skólastarfi um lesskilning eftir kyni. Því er hugsanlegt að kynjamuninn á lesskilningi hafi mátt rekja til skorts á virkri þátttöku drengja í skólastarfi og að aukinn stuðningur við virka þátttöku í skólastarfi sé líklegur til að skila sér í auknum lesskilningi hjá báðum kynjum.

Global Volatility Spillover in Asian Financial Markets
Authors: Ishfaq Muhammad , Qiong Zhang Bi , Rehman Awais ur
Published: March 2018

The present paper accommodates the spillover impact of market volatility index of S & P 500 (VIX) and China exchange-traded fund’s volatility (VXFXI) on the emerging equity (KSE-100 index) and foreign exchange markets of Pakistan. In this context, we use a vector autoregressive (VAR) model and impulse response functions (IRF) to explore link among VIX indices and financial markets of Pakistan for the differential time periods. The study concludes that a rise in both VIX and VXFXI results in price falls of KSE-100 index and deteriorates exchange rate market. This implies that VIX act as ‘fear gauge’ on both stock and exchange rate markets in Pakistan. These outcomes provide an imperative implication on the pattern of currency and stock sensitivities against global volatility. This reveals that adverse movements in global volatility in the USA and Chinese financial market have a significant impact and a rise in VIX causes an outflow of investment from financial markets of Pakistan. Moreover, our results may guide local and global investors to anticipate the potential direction of stock and exchange rate markets based on market volatility index.

Effect of occupational activity on ambulatory blood pressure profile in university teachers
Authors: Pereira J. , Simões H.
Published: March 2018

Hypertension (HBP), a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is strongly associated with behavioral and environmental aspects of living. Professional activities, amongst others that take place throughout the day, are responsible for important blood pressure (BP) variations and may increase it. This study aims at ascertaining the blood pressure profile and variation in teachers, during a typical teaching session. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) was performed in a cohort of 21 university teachers during a typical professional day, comprising the following periods: 24-hour period, day period, night period, morning period, 2 hours before class, during class, 2 hours after class, aerobic exercise period and 1 hour after exercise period. Teachers demonstrated higher BP ??during the occupational activities (137.71 / 88.57 mmHg) compared to the period before (128.81 / 82.43 mmHg) and after the class (132.38 / 85.19 mmHg) (p <0.05). It was found that systolic BP has the greatest variability across the considered activities and time periods. In a gender analysis, men had higher systolic BP ??compared to women (141.55 mmHg / 133.50 mmHg, respectively), and demonstrated greater variability across activities. The results clearly demonstrated the existence of important variations in BP due to different daily activities. The occupational period produced a significant increase in the different components of BP and heart rate. Long-term effects of repeated exposure to this increase in BP related with the occupational contexts remains to be demonstrated

Land resource damage caused by the land conversion and land use without regard to principles of conservation of soil and water. The damage resulted in the erosion is very high. Changes in land use without regard to principles of conservation of soil and water is currently happening in Baturiti District. Given this research can determine the level of erosion, soil and water conservation planning, land capability classification and proposed land use in Baturiti District. Erosion prediction using USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) to estimate the rate of erosion and also to get an idea the determination of soil and water conservation measures appropriate to the region. Determination of the land capability classification method Arsyad (1989) is by classifying land capability to classify land capability class based on the value of the limiting factor of land that is adjusted with land capability classification criteria. Determining of the proposed land use using the scoring method by combining the slope factor of the field, the soil sensitivity of the against erosion and the intensity of daily rainfall. Soil sampling is done by taking a total of 19 soil samples from a unit of land. The prediction results on each unit of land erosion in the area showed the level of erosion is very light covering an area of 11,70 ha, mild erosion area of 5.221,56 ha, erosion was an area of 88,10 ha, severe erosion area of 616.20 ha and very severe erosion area of 2.195,39 ha. Soil and water conservation measures required on land units with erosion prediction value exceeds the value erosion that can be tolerated so that the value could be below the value erosion erosion can be tolerated. Capability classification of the land in the study area consists of land capability class II with an area of 1489,39 ha, class III area of 827,39 ha, class IV with an area of 830.15 ha, class VI area of 1.373,79 ha, class VII covering 1.453,92 ha, class VIII covering an area of 2.176,31 ha.

ABSTRAK

Tukad Mati is one of watershed that is flow through two regencies of Badung and Denpasar that has 12 km length. Tukad Mati functioned as irrigation, drainage system and as the exile of wastewater from all activities along the river. Because of the pollution, the water quality has degraded. The source of pollution is organic matter pollutant, agricultural pollutant such as pesticide and hazardous waste. The aim of this research is knowing the pollutant loading rate from point source and non point source using Qual2kw model, to define that amount of pollutant that are allowed to exile in Tukad Mati river. The water quality parameter that analyzed is DO, COD, BOD and Phosphate. This research divided into three sections, and 4 scenario of simulation to know allowed loading rate of pollutant along the river. The result of simulation using Qual2kw for BOD that is the minimum DO loading rate was 1,15 kg/day for section 1 then maximum loading rate is 64,88 kg/day on section 3. Meanwhile for COD parameter, the minimum loading rate is 1446,61 kg/day and in the upstream the  minimum COD loading rate 1375,06 kg/day. For phosphate parameter the loading rate that allowed is 0,79 kg/day, while in the upstream maximum 12,57 kg/day on segment 3.

Authors: Minh Hong Bui , Hung Nguyen Duc , Chien Tran Dinh
Published: March 2018

The effects of foods on the life cycle, survival rate, and reproductive ability of Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenee, 1854) were studied in laboratory.

Maize HN88-Fed O. furnacalis had a complete life cycle of 32.9 ± 1.7 days, which was 38.4 ± 1.5 days shorter than those fed with maize LVN4. The average survival rates of O. furnacalis on two types of feeds were 97.5% and 94.4%, respectively.

When O. furnacalis were fed with 100% honey or 50% sugar or water, the average length of female life cycle as well as their everage laid egg number were 11.1 ± 0.9 days and 535.2 ± 77.2 eggs/female; 9.9 ± 0.8 days and 371.7 ± 47.4 eggs/female; 7.3 ± 0.6 days and 216 ± 32.6 eggs/female, respectively.

Authors: Ali Fawad , Hussain Bakhat , Tunio Javed Ali, Mehran Ayoob
Published: March 2018

The experimental material was planted at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar to estimate genetic parameters of heritability and correlation for yield traits of indigenous Brassica Juncea genotypes. RCB design with three replications was used to sow 20 Brassica genotypes. Highly significant genetic variations were obtained among studied parameters. Days to half flowering revealed positive associations with primary branches per plant (r= 0.337**). Primary branches per plant was positively correlated with pod length (r= 0.407**), seed per pod (r= 0.418**) seed yield per plant (r= 0.479**). Similarly, pod length showed positive correlation with seed per pod (r= 0.324*) and seed yield per plant (r= 0.331**), while seed per pod was positively correlated with seed yield per plant (r= 0.878**). Highest broad-sense heritability was recorded for seed yield per plant (0.97), while lowest heritability was estimated for primary branches per plant (0.46).

A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose causada pelo protozoário Toxoplasma gondii, sendo uma das parasitoses mais difundidas mundialmente. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência de anticorpos IgG anti-T. gondii em gatos atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da UFPR e em clínicas veterinárias do município de Palotina. Foram analisadas 100 amostras de soro sanguíneo, por meio da reação de imunofluorescência indireta (RIFI) e juntamente foi feito um levantamento epidemiológico por meio de questionário, respondido pelos proprietários dos animais, com relação as condições de vida dos felinos, com a finalidade de caracterizar fatores associados ao risco de infecção por T. gondii nos animais estudados. As informações obtidas foram analisadas pelo programa Epi Info 3,05. A prevalência de anticorpos IgG anti-T. gondii para a população analisada foi de 29% (29/100). Dentre as variáveis estudadas, o acesso à rua, a outras casas, ao telhado, a presença de pombos na residência, o hábito de caçar, o fato de comer restos de comida e a idade (acima de um ano), foram associadas significativamente com a presença da infecção pelo protozoário. As informações obtidas são relevantes para caracterizar fatores de risco e vias de transmissão da toxoplasmose nos animais estudados e elaborar estratégias para o controle e profilaxia da doença entre os felinos domésticos da região.
