Authors: Salem Arwa S. , Saleh Abdul R. Mohammed , Elmasmari Hussein A.A.
Published: January 2019

Purpose:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the apical sealing ability of Total Fill BC sealer and AH Plus sealer with single cone and continuous wave condensation obturation techniques using dye extraction leakage method.

Materials and Methods:

Eighty-four extracted human single-rooted teeth with round canals were decoronated at 12 mm length and instrumented using crown down technique with the iRace rotary file system to apical file size 40 with 0.04 taper. The roots were randomly divided into four experimental groups (n=20). Group (A1) contained roots which were obturated with Total Fill BC sealer with a single cone. Group (A2) contained roots which were obturated using Total Fill BC sealer with continuous wave condensation. Group (B1) contained roots which were obturated using epoxy resin sealer (AH Plus) with a single cone. Group (B2) contained roots which were obturated using AH Plus sealer with continuous wave condensation.

Apical microleakage was assessed with dye extraction method where the absorbance of leaked 1% methylene blue dye was measured using a spectrophotometer. The absorbance values were converted into concentrations, and the data was analyzed using One way ANOVA test.

Results:

The mean dye concentration values were 0.012, 0.016, 0.011 and 0.015 for Group A1, Group A2, Group B1 and Group B2, respectively.

One-way ANOVA indicated no significant difference in dye leakage between the investigated groups (F = 0.938).

Conclusion:

With the limitation of the study, it was concluded that Total Fill BC was equivalent to AH Plus in apical sealing ability when using single cone or continuous wave condensation. The single cone can provide a similar apical seal of canal filling as can be achieved by using continuous wave condensation methods, in the round canal.
High-Frequency Time-Resolved Scanning Acoustic Microscopy for Biomedical Applications
Authors: Anastasiadis Pavlos , Zinin Pavel V.
Published: January 2019

High-frequency focused ultrasound has emerged as a powerful modality for both biomedical imaging and elastography. It is gaining more attention due to its capability to outperform many other imaging modalities at a submicron resolution. Besides imaging, high-frequency ultrasound or acoustic biomicroscopy has been used in a wide range of applications to assess the elastic and mechanical properties at the tissue and single cell level. The interest in acoustic microscopy stems from the awareness of the relationship between biomechanical and the underlying biochemical processes in cells and the vast impact these interactions have on the onset and progression of disease. Furthermore, ultrasound biomicroscopy is characterized by its non-invasive and non-destructive approach. This, in turn, allows for spatiotemporal studies of dynamic processes without the employment of histochemistry that can compromise the integrity of the samples. Numerous techniques have been developed in the field of acoustic microscopy. This review paper discusses high-frequency ultrasound theory and applications for both imaging and elastography.
Is Telehealth A Real Alternative to In-Office Physician Consultations? (Preprint)
Authors: Harth Yoram
Published: January 2019

UNSTRUCTURED

The high cost and scarcity of physicians results in lack of proper service to the majority of the population in the US and more so in the rest of the world. Telehealth, based on remote physicians does not seem to be the solution due to less than optimal cost/benefit ratio offered to the human provider. Recent developments in mobile processing power, mobile camera resolution, and deep learning technology present an opportunity to build solutions to specific diseases that are comparable in accuracy to a human in-person service for a fraction of the cost democratizing the availability of health services.

Empowering Social Science Research in the Big-Data Era: Addressing Quantyphobia in IR Researches
Authors: Mohd Razalli Farizal
Published: January 2019

This paper tries to explore the employment of quantitative approach in political researches focusing on international relations (IR) or international politics. A debate emerged in the90s on whether IR or the field of international politics should be driven by quantitative(positivistic) approach at the expense of qualitative (interpretivist) approach. The debate then expanded to explicitly argue for an increased use of formal methods that are mathematically-based to study IR phenomena. It triggered then a quick reaction fromhardcore IR specialists who warned against mathematizing IR for fear of turning the field into a mechanical field that crunches numbers. Such a fear is further substantiated by theobservation that many quantitative works in IR have moved farther away from developing theory to testing hypotheses. Some scholars have even suggested that it is epistemologicallyrealism vs. instrumentalism; something that is unsurprising given the dominance of realism inIR for many years. This paper does not suggest that heavy emphasis on qualitative approach leads to a inferior research output. However, it does suggest an transformative incapability among IR scholars to accommodate to contemporary global changes. The big-data analyticshave affected the intellectual community of late with the influx of data. These data are bothqualitative and quantitative. Nonetheless, analyzing them requires one to be familiar with quantitative methods lest one risks not being able to offer a research outcome that is not only sound in its argumentation but also robust in its analytical logic. Furthermore, with so much data on the social media, it is almost unthinkable for meaningful interpretation tobe made without even the simplest descriptive statistical methods. The key findings revealthat in ensuring its relevance, international political researches have to start adapting to the contemporary changes by building new capability apart from upscaling existing capacity.

Published: January 2019

Water discharge is a significant hydrological parameter because it defines the shape, size and course of the stream. This study was initiated to evaluate the performance and applicability of the physically based SWAT model in analyzing the influence of hydrologic parameters on the streamflow variability and estimation of water balance components at the outlet of Kanaighat streamflow station (SW266) of Surma basin. A 30-m resolution digital elevation model (DEM) has been used to delineate catchment boundary. Land use map obtained from global source GLOBCOVER (Europe Space Agency) has been reclassified to match the SWAT land classes. The model was first calibrated for the period from 2003 to 2008 and then validated for the period from 2009 to 2013 using the observed monthly discharge data. Statistical model performance measures, coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.780, the Nash–Sutcliffe Index (NSI) of 0.47 and Percent bias (PBIAS) of -53.5%, for calibration and 0.878, 0.74 and -31.7%, respectively for validation, indicated good performance of the model simulation on monthly time step. The results showed that SWAT can simulate the hydrologic characteristics of the watershed very well.

Published: January 2019

Decision-making in construction design has an important role. The need for estimation tools of planning and project management aspects needs to develop. This paper discussed the benefits of artificial neural network methodology to overcome the problem of estimated the needs of the volume of wall paired, ceiling worked pairing, and ceramic floor pairing for architectural work at the designed stage of the building. The average architecture cost of state building is 29%-51% of total construction value. Data from 15 projects was used for being trained and tested by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods with 5 design input variables. The ANN helped to estimate the value of volume requirement on the architectural working of Pratama Hospital building project in remote areas of Indonesia. Those input variables include building area, average column span distance, the height of the building, the shape of the building, and a number of inpatient rooms. From ANN simulation, the best empirical equation of P2V5 modeling was used to predict the need of hospital architecture work volume at conceptual stage with best ANN structure 5-9-3 (5 input variables, 1 hidden layer with 9 neurons and 3 output) with result of estimation accuracy a maximum of 96.40% was reached.

Published: January 2019

This study examined the effect of financial inclusion in the trade-growth nexus in Zimbabwe using time series data collected from the World Bank databases from 1980 to 2016. The study precisely examined whether financial inclusion is a passage within which trade openness impacts growth in Zimbabwe. Also examined was the complementarity effect of financial inclusion and trade openness on growth. The effect of financial inclusion and trade openness on growth has received much attention from researchers across the globe and literature is awash with theoretical and empirical evidence of such studies. What is yet to be examined is whether financial inclusion is a passage within which trade openness influences growth. The study finds a negative significant effect of financial inclusion and trade openness on growth in Zimbabwe. Moreover, the findings show a complementary, strong and positive nexus linking financial inclusion and trade openness on growth in Zimbabwe. Policy-makers are, however, implored to formulate policies meant to deepen financial inclusion in order to enhance growth through trade openness. The article will help expand the academic knowledge and as such contribute in filling the gap that exists within the body of knowledge. The article is important to policy-makers, the academia, private sector and researchers at large.

Published: January 2019

This article aims to provide new conceptual insights into the responsibilities of an engineer who acts as a plant manager and who has to deal with employee relations during a turbulent time at a gold mining plant in South Africa. A qualitative research approach was used to gather the data in this study. Trustworthiness of the research was ensured by applying various reasoning strategies, such as content analysis, inductive reasoning, blending, bracketing and understanding in order to interpret the data. The first group interview comprised managers as well as engineers who were appointed as managers, the second, administrative employees from the service departments, and the third, artisans and foremen employed at the mine. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the transcripts. The recurring themes from the group interviews were â€˜employee empowermentâ€™, â€˜trust buildingâ€™, â€˜employee voiceâ€™ and â€˜development of skillsâ€™. A conceptual framework for manager-employee relations during troubled times was developed from the findings. The essential responsibilities of a gold mining plant manager during periods of turbulence were described.
The Relationship between Health Outcomes and Household Socio-Economics Characteristics
Authors: Dunga Steven Henry
Published: January 2019

The economic circumstance of a household is in most cases linked to the varied situations a household may find itself income is to a greater extent linked to the housing and food that a household is exposed to. Income among other socio-economic factors may also affect the demand structure of the household in terms of what the household may consider necessary or not. The level of household demand for health services and its preventive level may also be associated with other household characteristics especially those associated with the head of the household. This paper analysed the relationship between the morbidity rate in a household and the household characteristics and the characteristics of the head of household. The paper uses data collected in the South African general household survey published in 2017 conducted by Statistics South Africa. Based on a sample of 21601 households, the study employs a multinomial logistic model with the level of morbidity rate categorised into a high level, mild, and low. The results of the empirical analysis show that Household size, the gender of head of household, housing insecurity status age of head of household and income were significant determinants of morbidity rate at the household level. The contribution of the paper is therefore a proposal for preventive mitigation as opposed to treatment which tends to be more expensive on government. The fact that housing insecurity is a competing need with health demand calls for better alignment in terms of government, provision of health services in South Africa. This paper is motivated by the initiative of the introduction of a national health Insurance (NHI) is South Africa.
An in vitro comparison of ultraviolet versus white light in the detection of adhesive remnants during orthodontic debonding
Authors: Lai Connie , Bush Peter J. , Warunek Stephen , Covell David A. , Al-Jewair Thikriat
Published: January 2019

Objectives:

To assess the effectiveness and efficiency of ultraviolet (UV) illumination compared to conventional white light in the detection of fluorescent-tagged adhesive remnants during orthodontic debonding.

Materials and Methods:

Orthodontic brackets were bonded to extracted human premolars using one of two bonding resins having fluorescent properties (Pad Lock, Reliance Orthodontics, Itasca, Ill; Opal Bond MV, Opal Orthodontics, South Jordan, Utah; n = 40 each). The brackets were then debonded and, in each adhesive group, half the teeth had the remaining adhesive resin removed under illumination using the operatory light and the other half using a UV (395 nm) light emitting diode (LED) flashlight (n = 20/group). Time for teeth cleanup was recorded. Follow-up images were obtained under a dissecting microscope using UV illumination, and the surface area of adhesive remnants was calculated. Effectiveness of adhesive removal was also assessed using scanning electron microscopy imaging. Analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze time and adhesive remnants, respectively.

Results:

Assessment using the dissecting microscope found groups using UV light during adhesive removal had statistically significantly lower amounts of adhesive remnants than groups using white light (P ≤ .01). Time for adhesive removal was significantly lower with Opal Bond MV adhesive using UV light when compared with the white light (P ≤ .01). Assessment by scanning electron microscopy showed that thin remnants of adhesive (<2 μm) remained undetected by UV illumination.

Conclusions:

UV light is more effective and tends to be more efficient than white light in the detection of fluorescent adhesive during orthodontic debonding. Although there are limitations, the use of UV LED lighting is a practical tool that aids in adhesive detection.

Monetary Policy Frameworks and the Effective Lower Bound on Interest Rates
Authors:   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Mertens Thomas M. , Williams John C ,   Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
Published: January 2019

This paper applies a standard New Keynesian model to analyze the effects of monetary policy in the presence of a low natural rate of interest and a lower bound on interest rates. Under a standard inflation-targeting approach, inflation expectations will be anchored at a level below the inflation target, which in turn exacerbates the deleterious effects of the lower bound on the economy. Two key themes emerge from our analysis. First, the central bank can mitigate this problem of a downward bias in inflation expectations by following an average-inflation targeting framework that aims for above-target inflation during periods when policy is unconstrained. Second, a dynamic strategy such as price-level targeting that raises inflation expectations when inflation is low can both anchor expectations at the target level and potentially further reduce the effects of the lower bound on the economy.

Sedangkan S-AOMDV merupakan pengembangan dari AOMDV berdasarkan stabilitas rute yang dimiliki.Bergerakan node pada penelitian ini menggunakan model random waypoint, dimana setiap mode bergerak akan berhenti sejenak senilai pause time tertentu untuk kemudian bergerak kembali ke arah yang berbeda. Kecepatan pergerakan node dan nilai pause time pada AOMDV dan S-AOMDV serta beban jaringan dengan menggunakan traffik CBR mempengaruhi kinerja routing protocol tersebut. Dalam penelitian ini membandingkan kinerja dari kedua routing protocol dengan berbagai nilai pause time dan kecepatan pergerakan node dengan menggunakan simulator jaringan NS 2.35. Dari hasil perbandingan didapatkan nilai pause time akan memberikan waktu yang lebih untuk pemilihan rute yang lebih baik pada kedua protokol multipath

Laju pertambahan penduduk dan percepatan pembangunan di berbagai kawasan di Indonesia tidak berbanding lurus dengan ketersediaan sumberdaya air, terutama air bersih, yang sering dikesampingkan namun berperan penting dalam menopang kehidupan sehari-hari. Ketersediaan sumberdaya air tak hanya persoalan berkurangnya pasokan, namun juga karena distribusi sumberdaya air yang tidak merata terhadap persebaran dan jumlah penduduk. Di sisi lain, berbagai aktivitas manusia dan alam turut mencemari dan memperburuk kualitas sumberdaya air, sehingga manusia tidak dapat langsung memanfaatkannya sebagai air bersih. Bumi memiliki kawasan khusus yang meresapkan dan menyimpan air secara alami sebagai sumberdaya air tanah.Berdasarkan survey sosial masyarakat bahwa kondisi air semakin memperihatinkan, memberikan kesadaran dan pemahaman bahwa saat ini sudah mendesak diperlukan upaya-upaya sistematis, terencana, dan terintegrasi dalam menangani atau mengelola air agar lebih lestari. Mayoritas masyarakat menyatakan saat ini sangat mendesak dan diperlukan upaya-serius untuk menangani masalah air sehingga tidak terjadi masalah krisis yang di khawatirkan. Kondisi tersebut cukup menggembirakan mengingat secara faktual terdapat kecenderungan bahwa masyarakat mulai menyadari tingkat kerusakan sumber air dan penurunan kualitas dan kuantitas air, dan konsekuensinya bagi kehidupan.

Kalender reproduksi merupakan salah satu media informasi yang berfungsi sebagai almanak, berisi penanggalan dan keterangan-keterangan yang dapat digunakan untuk mempercepat penentuan waktu siklus reproduksi seperti: tanggal kawin, tanggal bernak, waktu penyapihan anak, dan masa laktasi.Â  Kalender reproduksi digunakan sebagai pedoman untuk pencatatan kegiatan manajemen pemeliharaan ternak.Â  Kegiatan pencatatan (reccording) manajemen reproduksi masih jarang dilakukan dengan baik dan tersimpan rapi karena dirasakan adanya tambahan pekerjaan yang bersifat non teknis, dan dianggap hanya sebagai penunjang manajemen usaha.Â  Aplikasi program komputer sebagai pengganti kalender reproduksi untuk optimalisasi produkstivitas ternak khususnya Kambing Etawa dapat dibuat atas informasi dasar reproduksi kambing. Kalender reproduksi ini akan lebih aplikatifÂ  apabila dibuat dalam bentuk pogram komputer menggunakan Delphi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuat program komputerisasi kalender reproduksi untuk ternak Kambing Etawa, Menstimuli aktivitas petemak supaya lebih terprogram, tepat waktu dan tepat kegiatan dalam pemeliharaan ternaknya, dan Memberikan pedoman bagi peternak kambing dalam memaksimalkan produktifitas ternaknya supaya dapat beranak tiga kali dalam dua tahun. Dari hasil penelitian pembuatan kalender reproduksi kambing Etawa dengan Aplikasi program Delphi dapat disimpulkan bahwa: alender Reproduksi dengan Delphi lebih Aplikatif, ktivitas Petemak lebih terprogram, tepat waktu dan tepat kegiatan dalam pemeliharaan ternaknya, memberikan pedoman bagi peternak kambing dalam memaksimalkan produktifitas ternaknya supaya dapat beranak tiga kali dalam dua tahun. Untuk lebih memaksimalkan fungsi kalender reproduksi ini dan juga lebih menarik maka perlu ditambahkan grafik produksi anak dan susu dalam bentuk grafik.

Limbah ternak adalah sisa buangan dari suatu kegiatan usaha peternakan seperti usaha pemeliharaan ternak, bila dibiarkan dapat berdampak buruk bagi lingkungan, manusiaÂ  bahkan ternak itu sendiri. Salah satunya limbah padat seperti feses. Dari limbah ternak tersebut para peternak juga dapat menghasilkan keuntungan karena limbah tersebut dapat diolah menjadi pupuk organik. Pupuk organik tersebut dapat dimanfaatkan untuk tanaman rumput sehingga para peternak dapat menyajikan hijauan berkualiatas unggul dan ekonomis. Dalam proses pembutan pupuk organik dapat ditambahkan starter yang sudah beredar di pasar antara lain EM4 dengan maksud mengoptimalkan manfaat dan kandungan unsur hara dari pupuk organik tersebut.Tujuan peneliti ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pupuk organik kotoran ayam petelur dan konsentrasi EM4 terhadapÂ  produksi rumput Setaria sphacelata.Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) Non Faktorial dengan empat perlakuan dan setiap perlakuan diulang enam kali, adapun perlakuannya adalah K1 yaitu kotoran ayam petelur : 98 gr/rumpun, K2 yaitu kotoran ayam petelur (1 kg) + 1 Tutup Botol EM4 (13 cc) : 98 gr/rumpun dan K3 yaitu kotoran ayam petelur (1 kg) + 2 Tutup Botol EM4 (26 cc) : 98 gr/rumpun.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa respon pertumbuhan dan produksi rumput Setaria sphacelata yang terbaik dihasilkan oleh perlakuan K1, dengan hasil tinggi tanaman 44,05 cm, panjang daun 30,34 cm, jumlah anakan 18,25Â  batang, dan produksi bahan segar 0,19 kg/bedeng (panen pertama). Tinggi tanaman 68,88 cm, panjang daun 49,21 cm, jumlah anakan 55Â  batang, dan produksi bahanÂ Â Â Â Â  segar 18,91 kg/bedeng (panen kedua). Pemupukan dilakukan sebanyakÂ  dua kali yaitu pada periode panen pertama yang dilakukan dua minggu setelah penanaman dan pemupukan kedua dilakukanÂ  dua hari panen pertama.Dari hasil penelitian ini, disimpulkan bahwa Kotoran ayam petelur (K1) dengan dosis 98 gr/rumpun dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan produktivitas rumput Setaria sphacelata pada panen pertama dan kedua. Kotoran ayam petelur dan konsentrasi EM4 (K2 dan K3) memiliki tingkat pertumbuhan dan produktivitas yang kurang baik terhadap rumput Setaria sphacelata yaitu dengan hasil produksi K2 0,10 kg/bedeng dan K3 0,13 kg/bedeng (panen pertama) dan K2 12,83 kg/bedeng dan 1,25 kg/bedeng (panen kedua).Untuk tanaman rumput Setaria sphacelata dapat menggunakan pupuk kotoran ayam petelur dengan dosis 98 gram/rumpun tanpa harus ditambahkan atau dicampurkan dengan larutan EM4, karena hanya dengan pemberian pupuk kotoran ayam petelur 98 gram/rumpun pertumbuhan dan produktivitasnya tinggi.

Karet merupakan komoditas perkebunan yang sangat penting. Selain sebagai sumber lapangan kerja, komoditas ini juga memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan sebagai salah satu sumber devisa non-migas. Pertumbuhan industri karet akan secara nyata meningkatkan devisa khususnya bagi Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur dan Pemerintah Indonesia pada umumnya. Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk menentukan bentuk rencana aksi pengembangan industriÂ  karet di Provinsi Jawa Timur berdasarkan hasil dari pemetaan yang telah dibuat. Metodologi penelitian dilakasanakan dengan tiga tahap yaitu tahap pengumpulan dan kompilasi data primer, tahap survey lapangan dan tahap evaluasi dan analisa. Luas total tanaman karet di Provinsi Jawa Timur adalah 25.180 ha dan produktivitasnya per tahun adalah 23.963 ton tersebar di 10 (sepuluh) kabupaten, yaitu Kabupaten Banyuwangi, Jember, Lumajang, Malang, Jombang, Ngawi, Madiun, Tulungagung, Kediri, dan Blitar. Rendahnya produktivitas kebun karet rakyat di Jawa Timur disebabkan oleh banyaknya areal tua, rusak dan tidak produktif, penggunaan bibit bukan klon unggul serta kondisi kebun yang menyerupai hutan. Oleh karena itu perlu upaya percepatan peremajaan karet rakyat dan pengembangan industri hilir.

Penelitian ini dilakukan berdasarkan permasalahan yang terdapat dalam proses transportasi ikan yaitu kematian, yang dapat menurunkan mutu ikan itu sendiri. Salah satu faktor yang mengakibatkan kematian ikan saat transportasi adalah stres yang umumnya ditimbulkan oleh kepanikan ikan itu sendiri. Untuk mengurangi stres, selama dalam wadah pengangkutan sebaiknya ikan dibuat pasif. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan treatment khusus yaitu anestesi ikan. Banyak cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk anestesi ikan yaitu dengan penggunaan bahan kimia, kejut listrik, atau penggunaan suhu rendah. Namun cara yang paling mudah dan tidak menimbulkan residu berbahaya adalah anestesi menggunakan suhu rendah. Ikan memiliki lama waktu pingsan yang berbeda-beda terhadap pemberian suhu rendah, tergantung dari jenis, ukuran, dan umur ikan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini menggunakan 4 (empat) jenis ikan yang berbeda yakni ikan mas, ikan patin, ikan lele, dan ikan gurame. Suhu rendah yang diberikan 8 0C. Ikan yang sudah pingsan disadarkan dalam media bersuhu normal. Ikan dengan waktu pingsan paling lama termasuk perlakuan terbaik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ikan yang membutuhkan waktu pingsan paling lama adalah ikan mas yaitu selama 410 detik, sedangkan ikan yang memiliki waktu paling cepat untuk pingsan adalah ikan patin yaitu selama 95,5 detik.
