Aim of the study was the comparative analysis of the experimental dilation of some materials used in the fabrication of physiognomic fixed prosthetic restorations. Material and methods. 3 biomaterials used in the fabrication of physiognomic fixed prosthetic restorations, pressed ceramic IPS e.max Press Ivoclar Vivadent, WhitePeaks Copra Smile (ZrO2, 600 MPa) and WhitePeaks Copra Supreme (ZrO2, 1100 MPa) were comparatively analyzed. The temperature increase was carried out from 20OC to 400OC, with the speed of 2 degrees/minute in a dilatometer. The repetition of the heating was done 2 times, with a 30-minute break between attempts. Results. The smallest expansion occurred for the e.max sample, followed by Zr600 and Zr1100. Conclusions. The present study demonstrated the production of a thermal expansion at the level of pressed ceramics and biomaterials based on zirconium dioxide upon experimental heating in the range of 20-400OC in dilatometer. Subjecting pressed ceramic or zirconium dioxide prosthetic restorations to high temperatures during the clinical-technical phases of occlusal processing/adaptation without adequate cooling may introduce residual thermal stresses into the material structure, which may subsequently lead to cracking of the prosthetic restorations under stress conditions determined by masticatory forces.
TD 2777 - O setor de gás natural no Brasil : uma comparação com os países da OCDE
Authors: Sarmiento Gutierrez Maria Bernadete Gomes Pereira
Published: November 2022

De forma similar à liberalização do setor elétrico nos países da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), o setor de gás natural também passou por reformas estruturais e institucionais relevantes, modificando o modelo de integração vertical, caracterizado por monopólios territoriais. As iniciativas para liberalizar o mercado de gás natural no Brasil resultaram na Nova Lei do Gás, em 2021, importante para permitir a expansão do setor, com o efeito esperado de ampliar a participação desta fonte na matriz energética brasileira induzida por uma queda de preços. Neste contexto, busca-se analisar os processos de liberalização no setor de gás natural nos países da OCDE, utilizando os indicators of Product Market Regulation (PMR), para analisar os pontos de convergência e de divergência do Brasil em relação aos países de melhor performance. Procede-se então a avaliar os resultados anteriores sob a ótica das iniciativas de liberalizar o mercado de gás natural no Brasil, sintetizadas na Nova Lei do Gás, 2021, derivando conclusões que possam subsidiar próximas reformas.
TD 2783 - Políticas de fomento ao desenvolvimento de fármacos e medicamentos no Brasil : panorama de 1998 a 2020
Authors: Vieira Fabiola Sulpino
Published: November 2022

A recente crise sanitária instalada em todo o mundo em decorrência da pandemia de covid-19 trouxe mais uma vez para o centro da agenda dos governos o debate em torno de questões relacionadas ao desenvolvimento, à produção e ao acesso às tecnologias em saúde. No Brasil, esse fato explicitou a vulnerabilidade nacional pela dependência da importação de diversas tecnologias nessa área, particularmente de fármacos e medicamentos. Considerando essa conjuntura, o objetivo deste texto é apresentar um panorama sobre as políticas implementadas a partir de 1998 até 2020 para fomento ao desenvolvimento de fármacos e medicamentos no Brasil, direta ou indiretamente, a fim de identificar aspectos que podem ser aperfeiçoados na formulação de nova política para essa finalidade. Para tanto, utilizou-se do arcabouço metodológico da avaliação executiva de políticas públicas. A justificativa e/ou a finalidade para a implementação das políticas enunciadas em seus textos formais foram empregadas para a apreensão do problema público tratado e do objetivo relacionado ao setor farmacêutico, os quais tenham sido comuns a todas essas políticas. Resultados de estudos sobre o setor farmacêutico no Brasil foram utilizados para a elaboração da explicação do problema (árvore do problema) e análise da implementação dessas ações. Os documentos das políticas constituíram as referências básicas para a identificação dos seus objetivos específicos e para a elaboração de um modelo lógico para o conjunto de iniciativas. Estudos sobre as políticas constantes da literatura, assim como indicadores definidos considerando o modelo lógico elaborado, foram utilizados para análise dos resultados intermediário e final da ação governamental. Verificou-se que uma série de medidas foi implementada para fomentar o desenvolvimento de fármacos e medicamentos no país no período analisado, mas que os resultados dessas medidas para a redução da dependência brasileira da importação desses produtos foram limitados. Três fatores principais foram identificados como possíveis determinantes dessa situação: i) o perfil pouco inovador das empresas brasileiras; ii) o surgimento de novos produtos de origem biotecnológica, de elevado valor agregado, e o aumento de sua importância na terapêutica; e iii) a ação insuficiente do Estado para alavancar uma grande mudança estrutural no setor farmacêutico em razão da fragmentação das iniciativas e de descontinuidades no esforço governamental. Recomenda-se, por fim, a formulação de uma nova política, com foco no setor farmacêutico, resultante de um planejamento estatal de médio e longo prazos, visando à implementação de ações e ao aporte de recursos sustentados ao longo do tempo, e que considere as particularidades e requisitos desse setor nos campos da política industrial e de comércio exterior, da política de ciência, tecnologia e inovação, e da política de saúde.

Published: November 2022

Everyone faces difficult times all the time according to the times. In suffering and trouble often arise questions, cries and complaints to God. How much longer Lord? Where is your justice? The author takes the book of Habakkuk which teaches today's believers to be a guide to face difficult times. This study aims to determine the views and attitudes of the prophet when facing difficult times can be an example that can be applied in everyday life for believers today. The name Habakkuk means one who hugs or embraces. In accordance with the meaning of his name, he is someone who embraces, embraces God and dares to argue to get answers to his questions, screams and complaints until he gets answers. Allah's answer made the prophet's faith strong and at the end of his sentence, the prophet said that it was precisely through this struggle that Allah made the prophet strong, like the feet of a deer that trod on the hills.Setiap orang menghadapi masa sulit sepanjang masa sesuai perkembangan zaman. Dalam penderitaan dan masalah sering muncul pertanyaan, teriakan dan pengaduan kepada Allah. Berapa lama lagi Tuhan? Di manakah keadilan-Mu? Penulis mengambil kitab Habakuk yang mengajarkan bagi orang percaya masa kini untuk menjadi pedoman menghadapi masa sulit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pandangan dan sikap nabi ketika menghadapi masa sulit dapat menjadi teladan yang bisa diaplikasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari bagi orang percaya zaman sekarang. Nama Habakuk memiliki arti yaitu orang yang memeluk atau merangkul. Sesuai dengan arti namanya, dia adalah seorang yang memeluk, merangkul kepada Allah dan berani berdebat untuk mendapat jawaban atas pertanyaan, teriakan dan pengaduannya sampai mendapatkan jawaban. Jawaban Allah yang membuat iman nabi kokoh dan di akhir kalimatnya, nabi mengatakan justru melalui pergumulan ini Allah menjadikan nabi kuat, bagaikan kaki rusa yang berjejak di bukit-bukit.

Aménager une enveloppe familiale
Authors: Loncan Anne
Published: November 2022

Une famille, dont le cas a été présenté par une collègue, avait subi un traumatisme violent dont les effets restaient figés, malgré des thérapies pour chacun des membres de la famille. Sur cette base, l’auteur étudie les atteintes du corps psychique familial, tant au niveau des liens intersubjectifs (texture, connexion) que de son enveloppe. La spécificité de l’écoute psychanalytique de la famille, l’analyse du contre-transfert, l’attention portée aux émergences archaïques que constituent les signifiants formels ont permis qu’une enveloppe commune se déploie, abritant des liens intersubjectifs plus empreints d’affectivité et mieux connectés entre eux, pour dépasser la toxicité du lien fantôme qui hante la famille. L’auteur montre comment la thérapie familiale psychanalytique a produit l’amorce d’un recouvrement du « corps psychique familial » démembré.
Dispositif de soins en institution : la création d’un jardin d’enfants thérapeutique
Authors: Mercier Martine , Tixier Élisabeth
Published: November 2022

La prise en compte de la famille dans les institutions qui reçoivent des enfants est une nécessité incontournable. Cette orientation est appliquée souvent formellement et fait l’objet de résistances multiples. Néanmoins, des dispositifs innovants pour le soin familial se font jour grâce à la créativité des équipes dans des institutions qui ne disposaient pas jusqu’alors d’un dispositif d’accueil ou de soins pour les parents et les familles. Les auteurs présentent la mise en place et le fonctionnement d’un lieu de soins réunissant un groupe de parents et enfants dans un même espace/temps, encadré par des soignants aux fonctions différentes. Ils interrogent la nature du cadre proposé et le processus groupal qui s’y déploie. Le dispositif gigogne alterne grand groupe et espaces différenciés, créant une dynamique autour de la séparation-individuation. Il est aussi le lieu d’identifications multiples, de mise en liens, le lieu de projections, de dépôt des souffrances archaïques et d’éléments inélaborés de l’histoire familiale. L’espace de supervision de l’équipe pluridisciplinaire est un lieu transitionnel au rôle essentiel pour perlaborer les éprouvés des patients et leurs effets de résonance chez les soignants ; leur mise en mots comme leur mise en sens fait de cette pratique un soin psychanalytique, au bénéfice des parents comme des enfants.

Effect of lactose-free milk powder on lactose intolerance symptoms and nutritional status of pet dogs
Authors: Wang Y. , Lou H. , Turpeinen A.M. , Liu L. , Xue F.
Published: November 2022

The effects of standard cow, goat and lactose-free cow milk powder on lactose intolerance symptoms and the nutritional status of dogs was studied. Forty adult Springer Spaniels with lactose intolerance were randomly allocated into four groups with ten dogs each and fed one of the milk powders or water for 21 d. The milk powders were reconstituted daily by diluting 10 g milk powder to 60 g water and 2 g milk powder/kg body weight was provided ad libitum and refusals were monitored daily. Lactose intolerance was assessed by faecal composition and pH, water and lactose contents. Biochemical markers for nutritional status were analysed. Feeding intolerance and lactose in faecal samples were observed in dogs fed the standard cow and goat milk powder, but not for the lactose-free milk powder or control groups. The high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased in all milk powder groups, while there were no other differences in nutritional status measurement. The results suggested that feeding lactose-free milk powder to dogs with lactose intolerance reduced the occurrence of symptoms, thereby enhancing the health and wellbeing of dogs.
On the driver's stochastic nature in car-following behavior: Modeling and stabilizing based on the V2I environment
Authors: Luo Ying , Chen Yanyan , Lu Kaiming , Zhang Jian , Wang Tao , Yi Zhiyan
Published: November 2022

The driver's stochastic nature is one of the important causes of traffic oscillation. To better describe the impact of the driver's stochastic characteristics on car-following behavior, we propose a stochastic full velocity difference model (SFVDM) considering the stochastic variation of the desired velocity. In order to mitigate traffic oscillation caused by driving stochasticity, we further propose a stable speed guidance model (S-SFVDM) by leveraging vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Stochastic linear stability conditions are derived to demonstrate the prominent influence of the driver's stochasticity on the stability of traffic flow and the improvement of traffic flow stability by the proposed guidance strategy, respectively. We present numerical tests to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models. The results show that the SFVDM can capture the traffic oscillation caused by the driver's stochastic desired velocity and reproduce the same disturbance growth pattern as in the field experiment. The results also indicate that the S-SFVDM can significantly expand the stable area of traffic flow to decrease the negative impact on traffic flow stability caused by the driver's stochastic nature.

In this study, a nonlinear mathematical SIR system is explored numerically based on the dynamics of the waterborne disease, e.g., cholera, that is used to incorporate the delay factor through the antiseptics for disease control. The nonlinear mathematical SIR system is divided into five dynamics, susceptible X(u), infective Y(u), recovered Z(u) along with the B(u) and Ch(u) be the contaminated water density. Three cases of the SIR system are observed using the artificial neural network (ANN) along with the computational Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation (LMB) called ANNLMB. The statistical performances of the SIR model are provided by the selection of the data as 74% for authentication and 13% for both training and testing, together with 12 numbers of neurons. The exactness of the designed ANNLMB procedure is pragmatic through the comparison procedures of the proposed and reference results based on the Adam method. The substantiation, constancy, reliability, precision, and ability of the proposed ANNLMB technique are observed based on the state transitions measures, error histograms, regression, correlation performances, and mean square error values.
Evaluation of biomedical industry technological innovation ability based on a grey panel clustering model
Authors: Lv Pin
Published: November 2022

Technological innovation in the biomedical industry is the basis for improving the core competitiveness of the biomedical industry and promoting the high-quality development of the industry. However, the technological innovation capacity of China's biomedical industry is not balanced, and there are great differences between regions. Therefore, accurately grasping the status quo of technological innovation in China's biomedical industry and assessing regional differences are of great significance and effect for the country to formulate targeted policies and systems. In view of this, this paper designs a two-stage biomedical industry technological innovation capability evaluation index system from the perspective of the innovation value chain. According to the panel data of China's biomedical industry from 2012 to 2018, a grey relational clustering model based on panel data is constructed and used to evaluate the technological innovation capability of China's biomedicine industry from two dimensions: the level of technological research and development and the ability to transform technological achievements.

Published: November 2022

One among a lot of public health concerns in rural and tropical areas is the human intestinal parasite. Traditionally, diagnosis of these parasites is by visual analysis of stool specimens, which is usually tedious and time-consuming. In this study, the authors combine techniques in the Laplacian pyramid, Gabor filter, and wavelet to build a feature vector for the discrimination of intestinal worm in a low-resolution image captured with mobile devices. The dimension of the feature vector is reduced using principal component analysis, and the resultant vector is considered as input to the SVM classifier. The proposed framework was applied to the Makerere intestinal dataset. At its preliminary stage, the results demonstrate satisfactory classification with an accuracy rate of 65.22% with possible extension in future work.

Evaluation of demarcation line in collagen cross linking and it’s effect on K value stability in keratoconus
Authors: Wijesundere D.S. , Nadeeshani W.V.N. , Hettige L.P. , Wariyapola D.H.H.
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectatic disorder where collagen cross linking is used to prevent disease progression. The demarcation line is the transition zone between cross linked and untreated portions of the cornea. Objective: To assess the relationship between the presence of a demarcation line and the stability of K values in patients who have undergone collagen cross-linking (CXL). Method: A cohort study was conducted on 30 patients undergoing CXL for keratoconus between the period 2017 June to 2018 June. The patients were reviewed at one month, 6 months, and 1 year post operatively and the nature and depth of the demarcation line were assessed. Pre procedure Kmax and post procedure Kmax values were calculated. Results: There was no statistically significant change in Kmax at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after cross linking compared to pre op value. Therefore, a stable Kmax value was achieved after CXL. Discussion & Conclusion: The presence and depth of the demarcation line which is a transition zone between the cross linked and untreated portions of the cornea is believed to indicate the effectiveness of the CXL procedure. Corneal collagen crosslinking stabilizes K values in patients with keratoconus. The depth and visibility of the demarcation line seen after cross linking does not have a significant effect on the K value stability.

Introduction: Endoscopic dacrocystorhinostomy (EDCR) is increasingly becoming a popular method of treating distal nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in the modern era. In this article, through literature review and personal experience, we plan to recommend a management protocol mainly concentrating on surgical technique. Secondarily, we would also like to make the case for EDCR over traditional DCR as both techniques have comparable success rates. Objective: To detail surgical technique with emphasis on evolution of surgical steps citing the literature pertaining to various methods. Methods: A literature review was carried out using keywords endoscopic DCR and dacryocystorhinostomy techniques. In a retrospective study, EDCR case data was collected concentrating on surgical methods used. The data was then analysed using the Microsoft excel statistical analysis package. Results: Details of 136 cases were assessed from the period between 2008 to 2021. 9 key surgical steps of the procedure were identified. Discussion: Highlights of recommendations include performing a ‘first look’ endoscopy before starting the surgical procedure, optional usage of the ‘light pipe’ during sac exposure, complete removal of the sac and sending it for histology, duct stenting is useful particularly in younger patients and post-operative local application of triamcinolone in prevention of granulations at the surgical site.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world affecting 12.5% of blind population. In addition to that, it is the cause of morbidity for 64.3 million of people among 40-80 years of age. World statistical predictions estimate it to be 118 million in 2040. Unpublished data in Sri Lanka reveals 6-9% of prevalence among people over 40 years with more predilections to Northern Province.Glaucoma is a disease of optic nerve head with progressive ganglion cell loss resulting in loss of neuro-retinal rim and retinal nerve fiber layer. It is characterized by structural changes in optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer and functional loss depicted as visual field loss.Asymptomatic nature of the disease causes a delay in diagnosis. On the other hand, the early diagnosis and treatment will minimize the physical, psychological and social impact of the illness. The diagnosis of glaucoma is a complicated and expensive effort that is heavily dependent on the experience and expertise of a clinician. Therefore, the awareness on latest discoveries on pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluations and therapeutic interventions in the field of glaucoma will help to face the challenges in patient care.
Accidental sub-retinal migration of TrypanBlue during pars plana vitrectomy in a human eye
Authors: Adikaram D. , Shankar J.
Published: November 2022

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a transparent, avascular, fibro-cellular structure that develops on or above the retinal surface. Contraction of the membrane leads to visual symptoms primarily due to retinal wrinkling and distortion of foveal anatomy. Although mild cases may be asymptomatic, significant membranes cause blurring of vision and metamorphopsia. Surgical removal of the membrane via pars plana vitrectomy is indicated in such cases to eliminate visual distortion. Visual improvement commonly does not occur for several months after surgery.

Antithrombin, protein C and S defects are well-recognized inherited risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Although these defects have been reported to increase the risk of VTE in fertile women under combined oral contraceptives (COCs), the magnitude of this association is uncertain. In a sub-analysis of a prospective cohort study, we evaluated the incidence of VTE occurring during treatment with COCs in fertile women who were family members of a proband with an objectively diagnosed VTE event and a documented defect of antithrombin, protein C or S. Of the 197 women of child-bearing age from 88 families who qualified for this analysis in a 17-year period, 112 (57%) were carriers of an inherited defect (23 antithrombin, 41 protein C and 48 protein S), whereas the remaining 85 were free from these abnormalities. Estrogen-progestin therapy was used by 19 of the 112 (17%) carriers of inherited thrombophilia for an overall period of 276 months, and by 17 of the 85 (20%) non-carriers for an overall period of 992 months. VTE events developed in 12 of the 19 (63%) carriers, leading to a monthly event rate of 4.3% (95% CI: 2.2 to 7.6), and in 2 of the 17 (12%) non-carriers, leading to a monthly rate of 0.2% (95% CI: 0.02 to 0.7), for a relative risk of 21 (95% CI, 4.7 to 92). Among family members of probands with inherited defects of antithrombin, protein C or S defects, the use of estrogen-progestin therapy in carriers of these abnormalities results in a risk of VTE events that is more than 20 times as high as that expected in non-carriers. Accordingly, the systematic screening for thrombophilia in these families has the potential to identify those subjects in whom this kind of hormonal treatment should be strongly discouraged.

Published: November 2022

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) classified antibiotics into three categories in 2017 – Access, Watch and Reserve (AWaRe) – intending to reduce the consumption of Watch and Reserve antibiotics while increasing the use of Access antibiotics. Antibiotic consumption by AWaRe in South Africa is undetermined because of data and research scarcity.Objectives: The aim of this study was to quantify, describe and track antibiotic consumption between 2014 and 2018 in the public sector of the Limpopo province, South Africa, using the WHO’s AWaRe classification for 2021.Method: Antibiotic consumption was quantified from pharmaceutical sales data for 2014–2018 by defined daily dose (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day (DID) and described according to the AWaRe classification. The change in antibiotic consumption was measured by compound annual growth rate (CAGR), Access-to-Watch index (AW-I), 75% drug utilisation index (DU75%) and amoxicillin index (AI).Results: The absolute consumption of Access antibiotics decreased by a 4.0% CAGR from 3.7 DID in 2014 to 3.0 DID in 2018, with relative consumption remaining above 80.0%. Relative consumption of Watch antibiotics increased by 15.8% CAGR from 7.8% in 2014 to 19.7% by 2018. The AW-I decreased from 10.4 in 2015 to 4.1 in 2018. The AI increased from 17.8% in 2015 to 42.0% in 2018. Parenteral formulations’ DU75% comprised one Watch (ceftriaxone) and two Access (metronidazole and benzylpenicillin) antibiotics.Conclusion: In Limpopo province’s public sector, the consumption of Watch antibiotics increased, while Access antibiotics consumption decreased, as reflected by both relative consumption and the decrease in the AW-I. The determinants of the Watch antibiotics increase require research attention.Contribution: Our study addressed the paucity of surveillance and research data on antibiotic consumption in the Limpopo province, South Africa, according to the WHO AWaRe classification.
Soft employability skills obtained from a nongovernmental organisation’s labour market intervention
Authors: Schultz Cecile M.
Published: November 2022

Orientation: Employability development is needed to alleviate poverty in South Africa. This study sought to examine employability development, with specific reference to soft employability skills within a low-income community in Gauteng province of South Africa.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the labour market intervention offered by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Gauteng added value to learners with specific reference to soft skills (behavioural and psychosocial) needed to become employable.Motivation for the study: Soft employability skills are essential because they are highly demanded by employers today. It is not clear whether the learners from an NGO have obtained soft employability skills (behavioural and psychosocial) during the skills training intervention.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative constructivist approach was utilised. Using purposive sampling, 33 learners from an NGO participated in email interviews. The email interviews were analysed by using four steps prescribed by grounded theory researchers.Main findings: The study results highlight two themes that represent soft employability skills, namely, soft employability behavioural skills and soft employability psychosocial skills.Practical/managerial implications: The study provides government and NGOs with an understanding of soft employability skills valued by unemployed low-income workers.Contribution/value-add: This research contributes to literature by expanding the knowledge of soft employability behavioural skills and soft employability psychosocial skills. Forgiveness seems to be a new soft employability psychosocial skill, as it was not found in the theories and frameworks used in this article.
