Authors: Noh Hyung-Kyu , Kim Ho-Jin , Park Hyo-Sang
Published: June 2023

Appropriate orthodontic mechanotherapy, particularly in relation to incisor inclination control is a key consideration for successful treatment and the delivery of optimal aesthetics. A novel, easy, safe and effective torquing technique, termed Park’s cervical torque tie, has been devised. A female patient sought orthodontic treatment and presented with a Class II division 2 malocclusion with crowding but a favourable facial profile. The treatment plan involved the distal movement of the maxillary posterior teeth, decrowding and incisor inclination correction. Palatal root movement was applied to the retroclined upper incisors by a novel cervical torque tie. The treatment was successfully completed after the distalisation of the dentition and palatal root movement of the upper incisors. However, following post-treatment cone-beam computed tomography, less bone coverage was evident on the palatal surface of the upper incisors. After a seven year follow-up, the treatment results were well maintained, and cortical bone regeneration was confirmed.

Introduction

Bioactive proteins and peptides generated from fruit, vegetables, meat or fish have great potential as functional food or substitutes for antibiotics. In recent years it has also been demonstrated that the fungus kingdom could be a source of these compounds. The study investigated the bioactivity of an extract of the lignicolous fungus Trametes versicolor and its hydrolysate.

Material and Methods

The fungus was collected in a mixed forest in October, extracted and hydrolysed. To inspect the protein and peptide profiles before and after hydrolysis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation–time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis was performed. To evaluate the antioxidant properties of the preparations, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS•+) radical scavenging assays were used. The activity of the fungus extract and hydrolysate against Aeromonas veronii, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus uberis was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values.

Results

The extract and its hydrolysate showed almost 100% ABTS•+ and DPPH• radical scavenging with a low half maximal inhibitory concentration. The water extract and hydrolysate of T. versicolor exhibited antimicrobial activity against two S. aureus strains, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and Salmonella Typhimurium.

Conclusion

These results provide compelling evidence that the analysed fungus extract and its hydrolysate hold promise with their antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

On Enhanced Intelligent Water Drops Algorithm for Travelling Salesman Problem under Uncertain Paradigm
Authors: Halder Swapna , Sharma Haresh Kumar , Biswas Arindam , Prentkovskis Olegas , Majumder Saibal , Skačkauskas Paulius
Published: June 2023

Travelling salesman problem (TSP) is a well known combinatorial optimization problem which has drawn colossal attention due to its eclectic range of applications. In this article, we have proposed two modified versions of intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm. The first one is the enhanced IWD (e-IWD) algorithm to solve single objective TSP. In the second modification, e-IWD algorithm has been extended to enhanced multi-objective IWD(e-MIWD) algorithm for solving multi-objective TSP. In order to achieve a better exploration capability in both of the proposed algorithms, the soil and velocity parameters of a randomly selected water drop are updated after every iteration of the algorithm when it traverses all the intermediate vertices for a tour. The proposed algorithms have been compared with some other existing similar algorithms on different benchmark instances of TSPs. Furthermore, we have addressed the TSP for both single and multiple objectives under uncertain environment.
Traffic Monitoring System for Vehicle Detection in Day and Night Conditions
Authors: Slimani Ibtissam , Zaarane Abdelmoghit , Atouf Issam
Published: June 2023

In this work, a day and night time vehicle detection system for traffic surveillance is proposed. Our system is composed of two main processes, day time and night time processes. In the night time, the vehicles are detected based on their taillights and headlights. First of all, the 2D-DWT (Two Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform) and the background subtraction are applied to the input image. Then, the connected component technique is used to extract the region of interest. If it is the daytime, the connected component candidates are taken as potential vehicles after applying a pre-processing algorithm to improve the result. If it is the night-time, a filtering operation is used to keep only the bright white and red connected component candidates (which represent potential headlights and taillights, respectively). Finally, potential lamp sets are formed by grouping the extracted components on the basis of their positions, sizes, and colours. The potential extracted vehicles are classified as a vehicle or non-vehicle by using a pre-trained CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) classifier. The proposed system was tested and evaluated using different works from the literature. The experiments show that our proposed system has reached a high accuracy in terms of vehicle detection process whether in day or night time. The experiments were performed using four different videos and were implemented using the C++ language, which facilitates mathematical computation, and its OpenCV library, which is used to run the image processing algorithms used, as well as the TensorFlow library, which facilitates transfer learning of pre-trained CNN models.
Air Traffic Management Using a GPU-Accelerated Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Rampure Rahul , Tiruvallur Raghav , Acharya Vybhav , Navad Shashank , Preethi P
Published: June 2023

Air traffic management is becoming highly complex with the rapid increase in the number of commercial and cargo flights, leading to increased traffic congestion and flight delays. To mitigate these issues, we present a flight path generation system that distributes the aeroplanes across the airspace and imparts minimal delays to the flight if required, thus ensuring that the aircraft follows the shortest route wherein it encounters the least amount of traffic. We develop a parallel genetic algorithm in CUDA-C with a novel fitness function allowing the system to reach an optimal solution where the air traffic density is minimised. The proposed algorithm was tested on one day's domestic flight schedule and achieved an 18% reduction in traffic density, with the flight times and delays remaining proportional to the data observed in the existing air traffic management system.
Bibliophilism of the Nobility as an Element of the Cultural Environment of the Central Chernozem Region in the First Half of the 19th Century
Authors: Topilsky A. , Zhitin R.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The article examines the issue of the development of book collecting as a special feature that is formed in the provincial Russian reader in the first half of the XIX century. An important part of the formation of reading culture in the provincial environment was the gradual transition from traditional values to new behavioral and spiritual practices. 

Materials and methods. An important part of the formation of the reading culture in the provincial environment was the gradual transition from traditional values to new behavioral and spiritual practices. Historical experience shows that in Russia, as in European countries, reading is an attribute of the life of modernized groups of the population. The dominant social structures in established societies, based on ingrained patterns of behavior, were closely associated with oral communication. And only in modernized communities does the need for the printed word appear as a universal source of information transmission. Results. Drawn into the processes of social and economic modernization ofRussia in the XVIII century, the nobility intensively assimilated European culture, including its information transmitter – the works of foreign writers. As a result, by the end of the century, reading becomes an important component of the lifestyle of the upper class. At the same time, the development of foreign literature contributed to the transfer of Western socio-economic and cultural ideas to the Russian soil, catalyzed theprocess of intellectual "Europeanization" of the upper class. Conclusion. The prevalence of Frenchlanguage literature during this period was characteristic of the majority of the nobility and testified to the active involvement of the upper class in the process of "gallomania". The high level of education of the owners allowed them to have rich collections of literature in foreign languages, expanding the horizons of bibliophiles. The main role here was played by the works of French enlighteners, who formed the freethinking views of landowners, educating the ideas of freedom and equality.

The School Expenditure Budget Plan or RAPBS is the pillar of school management for allocating the revenue budget and use of school funds to meet all school needs for one year. However, there are problems that occur in the management of the RAPBS, namely the difficulty of grouping the RAPBS data annually, making it difficult to predict the budget for the coming year. This research was conducted to study and implement the Multiple Linear Regression algorithm in predicting the value of data on income and expenditure budget plans which are a reference in planning future budgets. To support predictions of planned school budgets and income, BUMS data, Aid data, School Program Cost data, Original School Revenue data, Other Sources data, and Total Budget data are used. The prediction system method used consists of the planning stage, the analysis stage, the modeling stage, interface design, and implementation using the PHP and MySQL programming languages for database management and system testing and analysis. The results of testing the data analysis using the multiple linear regression method with SPSS software have a 100% result according to the manual calculations performed.
Sifat Mekanik dan Morfologi Poliblend Polipropilena dengan Poli(?-Kaprolakton) yang Disintesis Menggunakan Katalis Zr ?-diketonate sebagai Kandidat Material untuk Pembuatan Benang Jahitan Operasi
Authors: Yusuf Muhammad , Rahmah Mawaddatur
Published: June 2023

Polipropilena (PP) merupakan salah satu jenis polimer sintetis yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan benang jahitan operasi. Namun, PP memiliki kelemahan karena sulit terdegradasi. Hal ini disebabkan karena PP memiliki sifat permeabilitas yang kecil sehingga ketahanannya terhadap air sangat baik. Padahal, benang jahitan operasi harusnya memiliki sifat permeabilitas yang lebih besar sehingga dapat terdegradasi secara terkontrol. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, PP perlu dicampur dengan polimer lain agar diperoleh poliblend yang memiliki sifat degradasi terkontrol seperti poli(?-kaprolakton) (PCL). PCL yang digunakan pada penelitian ini merupakan hasil polimerisasi e-CL menggunakan katalis Zr b-diketonat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sifat mekanik dan morfologi poliblend PP/PCL. Pencampuran polimer dilakukan menggunakan teknik blending dan penguapan pelarut dengan 5 perbandingan (b/b): 10/0, 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, dan 10/4. Karakterisasi sifat mekanik dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji tarik dan karakterisasi morfologi poliblend dilakukan dengan menggunakan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Kompatibilitas campuran terbaik diperoleh pada perbandingan poliblend PP/PCL 10/4 dengan nilai kekuatan tarik sebesar 9,394 MPa dan nilai kemuluran sebesar 15%. Campuran ini memiliki sifat mekanik paling maksium dibandingkan komposisi poliblen lainnya. Selanjutnya, berdasarkan analisis SEM dapat diketahui bahwa telah terjadi interaksi fisik antara PP dengan PCL. Selain itu, campuran PP/PCL telah berhasil dilakukan dan poliblend yang dihasilkan bersifat biokompatibel.

Authors: Nurdiana Putra Yusep , Said Iskhak , Apollonia Rita
Published: June 2023

The research reported in this paper centered on the issue of derivational morphemes analysis which uses narrative texts as the object of the study. Out of 15, 6 narrative texts were chosen from EFL Textbook of Senior High School ‘Developing English Competencies’. Afterwards, the writer set two research questions: to investigate the kinds and the dominant affixes of derivational morphemes which are mostly used on Narrative Texts in EFL Textbook. This study employed qualitative strategies by using content analysis as the instrument of gained data. The results for the first question asserted that among three kinds such as prefix, infix and prefix, there were only two kinds derivational morpheme founded on narrative texts in EFL Textbook, both of these derivational morphemes were prefix and suffix. Besides, the infix was not founded on the whole of the texts. Moreover, the results for the second research question revealed that the dominant affixes mostly used on narrative texts in EFL textbooks was the suffix. Finally, it is expected that on narrative texts, suffix was the important rule to compose the text intact. Moreover, the other affixes such prefix and infix were lower than suffix on the whole of the texts. For instance, ‘ly’ and ‘ed’ as affixes that was added and used on narrative text in EFL textbook that was analyzed. In the meantime, in every texts that have been analyzed, most of the affixes, both prefix and suffix changed the part of speech of the root when changed to the new word. It is suggested for further researchers to conduct the research on by using the other texts by covering derivational and inflectional morphemes. Keywords:  stylistic, derivational morphemes, narrative text, EFL Textbook

A total of 310 eyes from 155 patients were evaluated. There were 70 males (45.16%) and 85 females (54.83%). The mean age of study population was 64.43 ± 9.18 years. The mean corneal astigmatism was 0.91D ± 0.67D ranging from 0 to 4.21D. No astigmatism was present in 3 eyes (0.96%), astigmatism with-the-rule was detected in 90 eyes (29.03%), against the rule astigmatism was detected in 167 eyes (53.87%), and oblique astigmatism was found in 50 eyes (16.12%). 214 eyes (69.02%) had corneal astigmatism <1.00D and 96 eyes (30.98%) had corneal astigmatism ≥1.00D.

Conclusion:

The study shows that 30.98% of eyes reporting for cataract surgery had pre-existing corneal astigmatism ≥1.0D and were offered the option of astigmatism correction with toric IOL implantation. The larger majority of eyes 69.02% had corneal astigmatism <1.0D and could be managed with spherical monofocal IOL.
Ultrasonography in ocular trauma: A pictorial description
Authors: Deka Hemalata , Basumatary Jessica
Published: June 2023

Ultrasonography is an indispensable diagnostic tool for examination of the eye after ocular trauma, which can be quite challenging due to various reasons like lack of patient cooperation, hazy media, and injury to periocular structures. We have retrospectively analyzed the case records of 269 patients who had sustained ocular trauma over a span of 1 year and compiled the data of the findings that were obtained from ultrasound scan. The scan was found to be normal in most cases (27.63%) and the second most common finding was retinal detachment (24.36%). Other findings that were noted are vitreous hemorrhage, choroidal detachment, optic nerve avulsion, endophthalmitis, panophthalmitis, presence of intraocular foreign body, and phthisis bulbi.

Published: June 2023

Purpose:

The aim of the study was to assess the different parameters of anterior chamber angle (AA) with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with or without the diagnosis of glaucoma.

Methods:

A cross-sectional and observation study of angle parameters for clinically diagnosed, undiagnosed, and suspected patients of angle closure was done. Patients with glaucoma suspect not having angle closure were also included in the study. AAs (nasal and temporal), AC depth (ACD), AC area (ACA), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were assessed using Cirrus high-definition optical coherence tomography.

Results:

Total 349 eyes of 178 patients with mean age of 41.31 ± 13.61 years were analyzed. One hundred and six of them were female (59.55%) and 72 were male (40.45%). The mean values of CCT were 540.85 ± 39.99 µm, 536.44 ± 41.25 µm; ACD were 2.37 ± 0.5 mm, 2.45 ± 0.4 mm, ACA were 17.04 ± 5.20 mm2, 17.48 ± 4.47 mm2, and AC width were 11.10 ± 0.45 mm, 14.13 ± 0.39 mm for the right and left eyes, respectively. The mean AA for the right and left eyes were nasal 22.23° ± 14.57°, 24.14° ± 14.10°; temporal 25.18° ± 14.13°, 25.88° ± 13.55°, respectively.

Conclusion:

The nasal AA was found to be significantly narrower than the temporal angle in both right and left eyes; and the angle asymmetry increases with increasing age.
Isolation and characterization of indigenous bacterial consortium for augmentation of biofertilizer potential for biogas plant waste (Jabalpur, M.P., India)
Authors: Sharma Juhi , Vishwakarma Vaishali , Bharati Akshay
Published: June 2023

The integrated approach to determine the most favourable plant-microorganism interaction is critical for improving and maintaining agricultural land production. The present trend of using low-input chemicals and waste as biofertilizer in sustainable agriculture systems will help to achieve this aim. Biogas plant waste efficiency may be improved by employing indigenous microorganisms to fix NPK in soil. We successfully demonstrated the utilisation of isolated bacterial inoculums for improving the biofertilizer potential of biogas plant waste in Jabalpur, M.P., India for several leguminous crops. The inoculum creation technology employed in this work is capable of creating enough effective inoculum with a reasonable shelf life for economical usage in various agricultural systems. Farmers would be able to grasp the impacts of biofertilizers produced from biogas plant waste and would be eager to utilise them because of their increased viability and high NPK value. This contributes to the achievement of an environmentally benign and cost-effective solution for increased plant growth from healthy soil.

Published: June 2023

Surfactants play a major role in solid lipid nanoparticles’ (SLNs) composition and properties, especially in terms of particle size and zeta potential. Not only the type of the surfactants but also their amounts and chemical compatibility with the lipid core within the formulation cause good changes. In this study, our goal was to determine the effect of tween 80 (a non-ionic surfactant) on octadecylamine (cationic lipid)-based SLN formulation and its influence on SLNs properties. Also, we examined the effect of sonication and filtration as mechanical forces on the particle size, zeta potential and PDI features. Five different formulations were performed by the emulsion solvent evaporation method. Particle size distribution, zeta potential and PDI values were determined by Zetasizer via the dynamic light scattering method. We obtained SLNs resulting from different formulations and one formulation was selected with the most suitable properties for further studies. The stability of the SLNs was examined by incubating them at 4 °C in the dark for particular time intervals and the results revealed not only minimal changes in particle size but also no significant changes in zeta potential and PDI values. The nanoparticles were characterized morphologically with Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The chemical characterization was performed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). In vitro cytotoxicity via MTT assay on L929 mouse fibroblast cell line was performed and cell viability was determined over 63% for all concentrations.

In the present work, the qualitative analysis of Nephelium lappaceum fruit peel was performed from aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts. The phytochemicals present in the Nephelium lappaceum fruit peel were alkaloids, steroids, tannins, soponins, terpenoids, phenols and flavonoids. Silver nanoparticles produced by green synthesis using fruit peel extracts as reducing agents have photocatalytic properties. The nanoparticles synthesized fruit peel was studied and characterized through UV-Visible spectroscopy and FT-IR. Seven pathogens, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, Klebsiella sp, Bacillus sp, S. aureus and Proteus sp and two fungal pathogens, Candida sp and Fusarium sp, were tested for antibacterial activity of Nephelium lappaceum fruit peel aqueous, ethanol and methanol extracts. Total antioxidant capacity, DPPH, reducing power and ABTS were used to test the free radical scavenging activities of Nephelium lappaceum fruit peel extract. Membrane stabilisation and heat induced hemolysis, were used to test the anti-inflammatory effects of various extracts of Nephelium lappaceum fruit peel. In comparison to aqueous and ethanol extracts, methanol extracts had the highest anti-inflammatory efficacy.

Published: June 2023

The present work describes the fabrication of a polymer membrane using chitosan and hydroxyethyl cellulose by the solvent casting evaporation method. The membranes were loaded with curcumin which is taken as a model bioactive agent for controlled drug delivery applications. The developed membranes were characterized by different techniques such as FTIR, DSC, TGA, XRD and SEM. Curcumin-loaded membranes were tested in in vitro drug release studies in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.4 at 37 oC to see how quickly they swelled. The drug-encapsulated membranes have a high release rate of roughly 90% for up to 16 hours. The developed membranes follow a non-Fickian diffusion mechanism with values of ‘n’ ranging from 0.506 to 0.624. The results suggest that our developed membranes warrant further development for drug delivery applications.
