Published: June 2023

In this paper, we shall investigate the oscillatory properties of third order nonlinear delay dynamic equations. Applying suitable comparison theorems and by a Riccati transformation technique, we establish some new sufficient conditions which insure that every solution of this equation either oscillates or converges to zero. Our results not only unify the oscillation of third order nonlinear differential and difference equations but also can be applied to different types of time scales with
Decision, betrayal, and faith
Authors: Doyle Siobhan
Published: June 2023

Søren Kierkegaard rejects the Kantian argument that the universal demand of ethics is the highest claim upon the individual. Whilst his Christian existentialism focuses on existence as ethical existence, within his existential framework the highest level of existence is the religious. Kierkegaard makes a distinction on this level between Religiousness A, or the last stage before faith; and Religiousness B, true Christianity. This essay explores the movement from religiousness A to B, and questions the location of the actual transition point, the boundary zone of humour. Since, for Kierkegaard, the divine is both immanent and transcendent, the fluidity of this boundary zone opens up the possibility that religious transition entails a double transcendence. This essay suggests that the highest point of Religiousness A is a movement to a certain form of the divine, whilst the absolute movement to Religiousness B is the reclamation of true faith.

Natural abundance, high strength-to-weight ratios, and their biodegradable nature make bast fibers (belong to plant fiber) attractive as reinforcing agents in polymer composite world. However, certain restrictions such as inferior fire resistance, storing the raw fibers for extending duration because of possibility of degradability, and high water uptake capacity greatly reduce the potential of bast fibers to be used as reinforcing materials in polymer composites. These problems can be easily overcome by applying the suitable chemical treatment to the bast fiber. In this book, processing of bhimal fibre reinforced polymer composites are discussed with a special detailing on the effect of mechanical characteristics and their applications.

Authors: ÖZER Nazire Esra , OĞUZ Ece İrem
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To compare repair bond strength of acrylic and composite resin to different type of artificial teeth with and without thermocycling aging (TMC).

Materials and Methods: A total of 192 specimens were prepared using four different types of artificial teeth (n=48) (Group CA-Conventional polymethylmethacrylate, Group IS-Isosite, Group DCL-Double cross-linked acrylic, Group NC-Nanohybrid composite). All specimens were aged with thermocycling (TMC; 5000 cycles, 5◦C/55◦C) and repaired with auto-polymerized acrylic resin or composite resin. Half of the repaired samples were subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) test while the other half were subjected to TMC to simulate the aging of the repair material. Then, artificially aged specimens were also subjected to SBS test. Data were statistically analyzed by three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Paired comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were made using Tukey HSD test (α=0.05).

Results: The bond strength of both non-aged and artificially aged composite resin and non-aged acrylic resin did not differ according to artificial teeth type (p>0.05). However, artificially aged acrylic resin showed higher bond strength for group CA (9.25±2.96) than for group NC (5.01±3.09) (p

Published: June 2023

Bone tumors are a distinct entity among which osteoblastoma is a rare variant constituting less than 1% of all bone tumors. The bones most commonly involved include the backbone, sacrum, calvaria, long bones and the small bones of the hand and feet. Osteoblastomas have only 15 % occurrence in the head and neck region with a higher incidence in the mandible. Osteoblastomas are known to have a benign or conventional form and the aggressive form which exhibits locally aggressive behavior and a higher proneness for recurrence. We have reported the journey of two rare cases of aggressive osteoblastoma in the mandible. The treatment was planned considering the aggressiveness of the lesion and the reconstruction was carried out with free fibula graft to maintain the aesthetics, function, and to achieve a good quality of life for the patients.

Published: June 2023

Maxillary defects resulting from surgical treatment for tumors, congenital malformations, and traumas might interrupt the patient’s speech, mastication, swallowing function, and physical appearance. The surgical obturator serves to restore the continuity of the palate as an immediate prosthesis after surgery. It provides an anatomically accurate, clean scaffold for surgical dressing while supporting and keeping the facial flap pressure. We report a case of temporary immediate oral rehabilitation after partial maxillectomy. A-39-year-old female with benign right maxillary tumor. The surgical obturator design with the addition of a buccal extension. Buccal extension is a high buccal flange that supports the facial flap and consequently maintains the facial aesthetics. This obturator also serves as a scaffold for surgical dressing and temporary defect closure between the nasal and oral cavities. A brief literature review regarding oral rehabilitation using a surgical obturator after maxillectomy is also explained. Follow-up evaluation showed that the obturator supports the upper lip, lifts the nasal lobe of the affected area, and provides a more symmetrical facial feature. Oral function improvements such as swallowing, speech, and better facial profile are also observed.

ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the strength of shear bonding of self-cured and self-etch adhesive systems to dentin after surface disinfection with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), Er:YAG, Nd:YAG, and KTP laser.

Materials and Methods: In the study, 6 main-groups were formed as Control, Er:YAG Laser, Nd: YAG Laser, KTP Laser, KTP Laser activated PDT and Diode Laser activated PDT. Each group was divided into two subgroups; Self-cured (Tokuyama Universal) and self-etch (Scotchbond Universal) adhesive system(n=10). 120 molar teeth were prepared to expose dentin surfaces. After disinfection and adhesive application, nanohybrid composite resin with a diameter of 3 mm and a height of 2 mm was applied to the dentin surface with the help of transparent molds. All samples were thermally cycled 5.000 times at 5°C and 55°C. Shear bond strength (SBS) test was applied to the samples in a universal test device.

Results: The differences between the Er:YAG laser group and the control, KTP and Nd:YAG laser groups of the self-cured adhesive samples were statistically significant. While the differences between the Nd:YAG laser group and the PDT groups were statistically significant (p
Evaluation of Risk Factors Associated with Bruxism in Adult Turkish Population
Authors: ENİNANÇ İlknur
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate various risk factors thought to be associated with the etiology of bruxism in adults in Turkey. Materials and Methods. 400 adults aged 17-60 years were examined in terms of probable bruxism using the bruxism survey and clinical examination findings. The survey method was used to evaluate the correlation of bruxism with gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, gastritis, migraine, antidepressant use, cigarette consumption, alcohol consumption, caffeine consumption, and marital status between bruxist and control groups. Results. It was found that gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, migraine, antidepressant use, caffeine consumption, and cigarette consumption were significantly higher in bruxists (P=.000, P=.004, P=.000, P=.000, P=.000, and P=.008, respectively). No significant difference was observed between bruxist and control groups in terms of the presence of gastritis, alcohol consumption, and marital status (P=.163, P=.221, and P=.913 respectively). While presence of migraine (P=.041) was higher in bruxist females, cigarette and alcohol consumption was higher in bruxist males (P=.000 and P=.001 respectively). Conclusions. In conclusion, it was determined that medical disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux, gastric ulcer, and migraine as well as antidepressant use and cigarette consumption and caffeine consumption were risk factors associated with bruxism. If dentists are aware that these risk factors may cause or exacerbate bruxism, this may be beneficial in preventing damage to the mastication system before it occurs, and in planning treatment correctly.

Authors: Kamble L.N. , Deshpande C.M. , Athawale B.P.
Published: June 2023

An almost self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraph on \(n\) vertices exists if and only if \(n\) is congruent to 3 modulo 4 A hypergraph \(H\) with vertex set \(V\) and edge set \(E\) is called bipartite if \(V\) can be partitioned into two subsets \(V_1\) and \(V_2\) such that \(e\cap V_1\neq \emptyset\) and \(e\cap V_2\neq \emptyset\) for any \(e\in E\). A bipartite self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraph \(H\) with partition \((V_1, V_2)\) of the vertex set \(V\) such that \(|V_1|=m\) and \(|V_2|=n\) exists if and only if either (i) \(m=n\) or (ii) \(m\neq n\) and either \(m\) or \(n\) is congruent to 0 modulo 4 or (iii) \(m\neq n\) and both \(m\) and \(n\) are congruent to 1 or 2 modulo 4. In this paper we define a bipartite almost self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraph \(H\) with partition \((V_1, V_2)\) of a vertex set \(V\) such that \(|V_1|=m\) and \(|V_2|=n\) and find the conditions on \(m\) and \(n\) for a bipartite 3-uniform hypergraph \(H\) to be almost self-complementary. We also prove the existence of bi-regular bipartite almost self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraphs.

Published: June 2023

Hereditary Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy (HSAN) are a group of rare inherited disorders that comprises a varied set of disorders which mainly present with sensory dysfunction and deficits in autonomic functions, along with other associated manifestations. This case report describes the case of a four-year-old male child, who was referred to the department of Paediatric Neurology and Pedodontics due to loss of multiple teeth and drooling of saliva, coupled with multiple oral ulcers that worsened over time. During the assessment, sensory and autonomic abnormalities were observed, while the remaining systems were normal. Following a strong clinical suspicion and the involvement of a geneticist, a genetic analysis yielded the diagnosis of HSAN V. Given its rarity and varied presentation, reporting this case would help to open discussions on diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas involved in treating these children, which usually comprises a multidisciplinary team, consisting mainly of dental and neurology departments.

Research on mangrove vegetation on Rowsar Island, in the area of the National Park of Cenderawasih Bay, This research was conducted from March to April 20223. West Papua Province conducted to identify and understand the condition of the mangrove forest. This research use quantitative methods by inventory with path plots. Based on the observations of mangrove vegetation on Roswar Island, 10 types of true mangroves identified, i.e Rhizopora mucronata, Rhizopora apiculata, Sonneratia alba, Xylocarpus granatum, Sonneratia caseolaris, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Avicennia marina, Avicennia rumphiana, Aegialitis annulata, dan Aegiceras floridum. The general mangroves found at every station are Rhizopora apiculata dan Rhizopora mucronata. Rhizopora apiculata grows in muddy, soft, deep, and waterlogged soil. Rhizopora apiculata does not like growing on harder substrates mixed with sand. The dominance rate can reach 90% of the vegetation growing in a location. Rhizopora mucronata grows in the same area as Rhizopora apiculata but more tolerant to hard substrates and sand. Mangrove forests on Roswar Island are still in good condition and extensive, the diversity of the mangrove plant species is relatively high and its natural regeneration is going well. The management of the mangrove forest areas requires coordination, integration, synchronization, and synergy across sectors, between many agencies and institutions.

The Nexus of Climate Change and Land-use in Kenya
Authors: Kinyili Benjamin Mutuku
Published: June 2023

Land as a resource remains a useful in alleviating human risks through provision of food, water, energy and environmental goods/services. There appears to be intertwined relationship between land and climate change, where climate change is perceived as a threat to land, while land and land use remains a major factor in climate change. There are however, few studies that have explored these intricate interrelationships between climate change and land as a nexus approach especially at the local levels. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to bring to light the interconnectedness between land and climate change and land, as well as assesses land impacts on climate change, in Kenya, and further suggests strategies needed to address these issues from a multidimensional perspective in the policy-making process. Scoping review was used to gather data from academic journal articles, book chapters, global databases, national database and conference papers. The objective of scoping reviews is to provide a broad overview of the literature on a specific topic and identify patterns, trends, knowledge clusters, and gaps. The study also obtained secondary data from various sources in the study. The study established that land-use influence climate change through agricultural expansion, urbanization, activities in catchment areas, large scale settlements, deforestation, manufacturing and industrial activities. Climate change then impact the land through reduction in agricultural activities and production, negatives on the forest ecosystems, reducing water resources, as well as detriment to quality of human, animal and plants life. The study concludes that land use change is a major driver of climate change and climate change drives land use activities in a nexus. To further this research, the study recommends ways of exploring land-sensitive approaches to climate change and land use management in a nexus a approach. The nexus approach that allows for the inter-linkages, trade-offs, and synergies existing between climate and land resources need to be developed.

Published: June 2023

In our country, rural women – the wives of farming family heads – account for almost 80% of the overall female population. They constitute about half of the total rural population and, as such, are quantitatively capable of playing a significant role in the rural economy. The demographic profile of women in general, and rural women in particular, paints a depressing image of educational backwardness, poverty, deprivation, bad health, and a lack of possibilities for economic, political, and social development. Rural women have a variety of roles that need more time and effort. The present study makes an attempt to analyze the demographic factors of rural women. The total sample of the study comprised of 180 farm women drawn by random sampling method from six villages of Mavli and Vallabhnagar Block. The demographic variables viz., age, education, caste, family type, family size, land holding, housing pattern, occupation, income and material possession were studied through a general information schedule. The profile analysis of rural women with respect to the demographic characteristics revealed that majority of the respondents (83.34%) had medium socio-economic status while 16.67 per cent respondents belonged to low socio-economic status. None of the respondent fall in the high socio-economic category.

A power tiller operated groundnut digger was designed and developed in the Dept. of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar during 2021–22. The objective of this project was to optimize the operational parameters of the digger's conveying unit using the RSM technique. The study analysed the effects of soil moisture content and conveyor speed, on the conveying efficiency and soil separation efficiency with two different types of peg geometries. The central composite rotatable design (CCRD) method with a quadratic model was utilized to correlate the independent parameters with the conveying and soil separation efficiencies. The results indicated that variations in soil moisture content and conveyor speed had a significant impact on the conveying and soil separation efficiencies. The optimum parameters for the conveying unit of a power tiller operated groundnut digger were found to be a soil moisture range of 9.0-12.0%, a conveyor speed of 1.0 m/s and straight shank with bending tip pegs, resulting in a conveying efficiency and soil separation efficiency of 89.45% and 71.45%, respectively.

Continuous land degradation and soil acidity are some of the major causes of below optimal crop yields in Kenya. Sustainable crop production therefore calls for efficient soil health management strategies. Field experiments were carried out at Waruhiu Farmers Training Centre, Kiambu for two seasons to evaluate the effects of tillage methods, phosphorus and lime application on selected properties of acid soils. Ploughing, strip tillage and hand hoe tillage methods and, DAP + lime (DAPL), TSP + lime (LP), TSP (P) were evaluated. Burnt lime at 3.2 tones ha-1 rate was used as lime source while 52kg P ha-1 was used as Phosphorus source. Obtained data indicated that the soils were strongly acidic with high exchangeable Al3+ and Al saturation, low cation Exchange capacity (CEC) and available P. Combination of Ploughing, lime and phosphorus in form of TSP significantly (P ≤ 0.05) led to > 38% increase of soil pH, >75% extractable P, 51% exchangeable Ca, >60% CEC, 54% Exchangeable Mg and reduced Al concentrations by >83% compared to the control. Similarly, combination of ploughing, DAP and lime significantly (P ≤ 0.05) increased CEC by 42% and available P by 81% compared to control. DAPL was observed to significantly (P ≤ 0.05) promote higher levels of exchangeable Al Compared to control and LP in both seasons. Plough DAPL also increased available P by 49% compared to strip DAPL. Strip LP significantly increased Exchangeable Ca by 46% compared to control. Sole tillage methods did not significantly affect soil properties. It can, be concluded that integrating ploughing with either DAPL or LP improves the selected acid soil properties. There is however need for long term studies to understand long term effects of the fertilizer- lime -tillage methods interaction on soil acidity management.

Due to its great productivity and profitability, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is farmed in alluvial irrigated tracts of northwest India. For half of the world's population as well as in our country, rice serves as the main source of calories. However, excessive groundwater use in rice farming has resulted in an alarming decline in water table, indicating overuse of groundwater. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate alternative, resource-conserving methods that can sustain rice production. Direct seeded rice presents a compelling option when the future of rice production is in jeopardy due to worldwide water constraint and rising labour costs. The oldest method of crop establishment in this regard, direct seeded rice (DSR), is becoming more and more well-liked constraints minimal input requirements. It has certain benefits, including labour savings, a reduction in water and manpower requirements, early crop maturity, cheap production costs, improved soil physical conditions for crops, a reduction in methane emissions, and greater options for being the best match in various cropping systems. For dry-seeded rice, management strategies that cut irrigation water use and boost crop-water production are needed. Some of the interventions in this respect include cultivars with short growing seasons, tillage, and irrigation scheduling. High crop-water productivity is ensured with optimal yields thanks to irrigation scheduling that aims to eliminate over- or under-irrigation. Tillage changes the edaphic environment of the soil, which impacts crop development. Because of their shallow root systems, rice plants are unable to use the water in the deeper layers of the soil. In order to increase the deep root growth of rice cultivars, deep tillage has become the preferable method. The present research evaluates irrigation management options to raise crop-water productivity and grain quality of DSR in northwest IGP based on the available evidence.
